Chapter 61 Chapter 61
Another whole night of anxiety passed. The imperial physician was already familiar with the procedure and once again pulled the Fourth Master back from the brink of death.
After waiting for the Fourth Master to rest, Su Peisheng rushed to the academy next door to force a confession.
That sour scholar was a tough guy. In the end, Sui Qing used a strong hallucinogenic drug to pry out that Master Chen was hiding in a deep mountain forest outside Haining County.
Su Peisheng was worried about disappointing his grandfather, so he immediately rushed to Yuanhua Village to find out the news.
Seeing the familiar figure at the village entrance from afar, Su Peisheng, who was hiding in the ox cart, covered his mouth and cried with joy.
Early that morning, Chu Xian and Chen Qingyan took an ox cart to Haining County, and only dared to wander around the south of the city, far away from Yu Garden.
She hurriedly tore off two pieces of red cloth to make her wedding dress, and didn't even dare to stay at the lively temple fair, and hurriedly urged Chen Qingyan to return home.
As soon as the villagers heard that Master Chen was going to hold a wedding banquet for his wife, they immediately became enthusiastic about making preparations.
In addition to taking care of the little prince, Chu Xian even had her wedding clothes arranged by the attentive women in the village.
She had nothing to do, so she would take the toddler Huier for a stroll at the village entrance every day.
The little guy was no longer shy after seeing so many new faces, and he kept asking to play with the children in the village.
Hui'er is handsome and cute, and all the young girls and wives in the village like to tease him. Chu Xian now has several helpers to help take care of Hui'er.
That day, Chu Xian took Xiao Hui'er to fly kites at the threshing ground at the entrance of the village. The goldfish kite swayed and landed next to a pile of rice straw.
"Hui'er, can you please bring the kite to me?" Chu Xian leaned over and pointed to a pile of rice straw not far away.
The nine-month-old kid couldn't walk steadily yet, and he staggered towards the pile of rice straw in a daze.
Chu Xian followed the little guy not too far away, so that if he fell, she could help him up in time.
Behind a two-meter-high pile of rice stalks, Yinzhen stood quietly with his hands behind his back. As two footsteps, one big and one small, approached, his hands hidden behind his back clenched into fists.
A face that looked very similar to that man suddenly appeared before his eyes, and the child's eyes were exactly the same as his.
Worried that the man would discover him, Yinzhen held his breath and moved around to the other side of the haystack.
"father.."
When the clear and tender voice of a child came, Yinzhen stopped and his heart softened as he heard the child's call.
"Daddy is here, Hui'er."
A strange man's voice was heard, and Yinzhen's face turned pale. Through the gap in the haystack, he watched his son running excitedly towards a man in a blue shirt.
The man held his son in his arms and walked away with the man, talking and laughing.
At night, when the man stepped into the house and blew out the candle, Yinzhen's face turned ashen and he walked away.
Nanny Chun and Su Peisheng looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that in just a few months, the concubine had already slept in the same bed with that man.
....
For some reason, this year's autumn has brought more rain than in previous years, and the trend of autumn floods is not right.
It was raining heavily that night. Chu Xian had just coaxed Hui'er to sleep when she heard a hurried knock on the door outside the yard.
"Master, all the men in the village have gone to the dam to reinforce it. The village head hasn't sent any men on patrol tonight. Please keep the doors and windows closed."
"Wait a moment, I'll go with you to inspect the dam."
Chen Qingyan put on his clothes and stood up: "Madam, I will be back soon."
"Be careful, I'll leave the door open for you, just lock it."
Although the village was not a peaceful place where people left their doors unlocked at night and did not steal things on the streets, it was not easy for a literate teacher to stay in the village, and they had repeatedly ordered that no one be disrespectful to the teacher's family.
Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble near the Master's yard.
Chu Xian was not worried that there would be thugs and ruffians coming to harass her at night like she did when she lived next door to the academy.
Chen Qingyan put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat and left, locked the courtyard door from the outside, and hurried to the dam with the villagers to inspect.
After washing up, Chu Xian turned off the lights and went to bed. Worried that the noise of wind and rain would disturb her, she didn't hear the knocking on the door after falling asleep, so she left the door open for Chen Qingyan.
The door is protected against theft by a Luban lock, and only she and Chen Qingyan know how to unlock it.
The rainy night is cool and refreshing, and I feel sleepy.
Half asleep and half awake, I heard the sound of the door opening.
"I'm back." Chu Xian muttered, turned her back and continued to sleep soundly.
The Luban lock was extremely sophisticated. Apart from Chen Qingyan, no one else in the village could know how to open it.
In a daze, she felt Chen Qingyan lying beside her.
Suddenly realizing that the buttons on her collar had been ripped open, Chu Xian opened her eyes in shock and tensed herself up, not daring to move.
In less than a month, she and Chen Qingyan will be married, and they will sleep in the same bed every night. He is a gentleman for being able to endure until now.
Sooner or later, there will be physical intimacy, and it makes no difference whether it is a day earlier or a day later.
After figuring it out, Chu Xian stopped resisting and let him undress.
The hot kiss suddenly came down on her, and she felt strangely familiar. She didn't dare to think about it anymore. She knew who she was bringing the pleasure of love to in such a despicable way.
In the dark night, the intimate feelings became clearer and clearer, and my mind was out of control, filled with broken pictures of the time when I was entangled with that person.
She is really hopeless. She despises herself. While being intimate with Chen Qingyan, she is still fantasizing about having sex with another man.
She was stunned for a long time, closed her eyes and mustered up the courage to hug Chen Qingyan tightly.
He seemed to have not expected that she would take the initiative to throw herself into his arms. His whole body stiffened, and the dense and passionate kisses kept falling. His kisses never stopped, kissing her whole body bit by bit.
Chu Xian didn't dare to open her eyes the whole time. The face that appeared in her mind gradually became clearer, and she felt more and more guilty towards Chen Qingyan.
Chu Xian felt heartbroken. It was all over. The entanglement between her and that man was finally over.
Another man entered her life for the rest of her life. From this moment on, she and that man would forget each other and live happily together.
She had no time to be distracted, and under his relentless attack, her initial shyness and panic were gradually forgotten.
When the love was deep, the taboo name hidden in the heart almost came out.
At the critical moment, she gritted her teeth and changed the man's name to the difficult-to-pronounce "husband".
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my shoulder and a familiar whisper in my ear.
Chu Xian was struck by lightning and opened her eyes wide in fear.
"You..." She reached out her hand tremblingly to touch the man's face, and her heart was instantly broken.
"You...you get out quickly..." She screamed in fear and tried her best to push away the man's shackles.
"Oh, what's wrong? The person you just had sex with was me. Are you disappointed?"
A cold and low voice came to my ears, and the hoarse lustful tone had not yet faded.
"Please let me go! Prince Yong, please let me go. Just treat me as if I'm dead... Just treat me as if I'm dead..."
Broken moans and pleas for mercy were heard intermittently from inside the house. Nanny Chun held the sleeping little prince in her arms and looked into the house nervously.
The whole night was a cycle of wakefulness and drowsiness.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak and sobbed with her hands covering her face.
The man said almost no words the entire night, except for biting her shoulder and groaning twice, he refused to say anything else.
Until dusk in the early morning, she was carried on the man's shoulders and thrown into the bathtub to be scrubbed like garbage.
Even in the bathtub, he refused to let her go.
Chu Xian was soaking wet and was thrown back onto the bed by the man.
She trembled and grabbed the thin blanket, but he pulled it away. He then started to torment her in broad daylight, even using shameful methods that she didn't like when they were having sex in the boudoir before.
It was not until after lunch that Chu Xian burst into tears of pain, and then the man hurriedly ended the matter, got up, put on his clothes, and left.
When Nanny Chun entered the room, the smell of love was strong in the room and the bed was covered with dirt.
Fu Jin was naked, lying on the bed like a corpse, her body covered with dirty marks, even her face and hair were stained with dirt.
Nanny Chun was heartbroken and cried, and helped Fu Jin wash her body, bathe her and change her clothes.
Chu Xian was shaking with pain, especially that part. She could tell it was torn without even looking.
When Nanny Chun applied ointment to her, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.
"Fujin, the prince said that we should return to Beijing in an hour." Sui Qing's choked voice came from outside the door.
"Beile?" Chu Xian opened her eyelids weakly.
Wasn’t that person just conferred the title of prince not long ago?
"Fujin, I have been staying in Haining County for half a year. The Emperor has issued several imperial edicts to recall me, but I have ignored them. The Emperor is furious and has stripped me of my title of Prince, demoting me all the way to Beile."
Nanny Chun sighed, "A few days ago, His Majesty issued an edict that if the Fourth Master still refuses to return to the capital, his title of Beile will be stripped away, and he will be stripped of his yellow belt and demoted to a commoner."
"I learned of your whereabouts last night. I was originally happy, but was shocked to hear that you and that teacher were going to get married on my birthday. How could you...how could you choose to marry someone else on my birthday and provoke me?"
"Even if I have a gentle temper, I will get angry, don't you think?"
"Where is Hui'er?" Chu Xian changed the subject.
"The eldest prince has two wet nurses taking care of him, and Su Peisheng and several young eunuchs are also with him. You can rest assured."
Chu Xian endured the excruciating pain and slowly sat up: "Where is Chen Qingyan? Is he...still alive?"
Nanny Chun looked uneasy: "Fujin, the master accidentally fell into a turbulent torrent last night. His life or death is unknown."
"Oh, accidental? Was it an accident, or was he murdered?"
Chu Xian burst into tears. She didn't expect that she would cause Chen Qingyan to lose his life for no reason.
If she had known she couldn't escape, she should have been ruthless and taken Hui'er away to avoid causing the deaths of innocent people.
At this moment, Su Peisheng brought in a pitch-black medicine potion. Sui Qing, who was standing by the door, sniffed it and immediately changed his expression: "What do you mean?"
"Oh, Suiqing, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm also following the rules. This... Concubine has been away from the harem for several months. To keep the royal bloodline pure, she needs to take contraceptive soup until her menstrual period comes."
Sui Qing was speechless when he heard this.
The Concubine had been living in the same room with a man from outside the family for several months. Last night, the Fourth Master tortured the Concubine so cruelly.
If she had not taken the contraceptive soup, and the concubine happened to get pregnant at such an awkward time, it would be impossible to tell whose child the baby was, which was indeed inappropriate.
If the concubine becomes pregnant, she will be the one who suffers in the end.
Sui Qing took the contraceptive soup and took the initiative to go into the house to help Fu Jin take the medicine.
When Chu Xian heard Sui Qing coming to deliver contraceptive soup, she felt mixed emotions and was extremely humiliated.
She couldn't drink this bowl of contraceptive soup no matter what, otherwise it would completely prove that she had an affair with Chen Qingyan.
She pushed the contraceptive soup away and said, "Master Chen and I are innocent. He is an upright gentleman and has done nothing wrong to me."
"Fujin, please think carefully. For the sake of your future and that of the young prince, you must take the contraceptive soup today. You cannot get pregnant again until your menstrual period comes."
Nanny Chun advised earnestly: "You are living in the same room with a man from outside the family. Even if you are innocent, others will not believe it, and the Fourth Master will not believe it even more. It is better to take the contraceptive soup and let the Master feel at ease."
"Fujin, I still have you in my heart, otherwise I would never have touched your body."
"Let him rescue Chen Qingyan and bring me the sterilization soup. Just let him revive Chen Qingyan first!" Chu Xian covered her face and cried.
She knew it was impossible for her to get pregnant as she was still breastfeeding and hadn't even had her period yet.
No matter what, she would never take the contraceptive soup and shamefully admit her infidelity.
In the study, Yinzhen frowned and stared at the little prince who was calling "Daddy" in a baby voice.
His son was not calling him "Daddy", but an insignificant bystander.
There were dull pains in my heart, tearing back and forth like a blunt knife.
Suppressing his rage, Yinzhen took out a rattle and coaxed him gently, "Hui'er, call me Ama!"
"Wuwuwuwu, Daddy, Daddy, I want Daddy..."
"Hey little brother, Daddy is here. You should call Daddy Ama. Your Ama is here."
Seeing that his master's eyes were red with grievance, Su Peisheng hurriedly took out a small sugar man. This small sugar man was a medicinal candy specially prepared by the imperial physician for the little prince, which could strengthen his body.
"Little prince, call Ama, call Ama like Suanda." Su Peisheng grabbed the little prince's hand and approached the Fourth Master.
"Ahhh, Tangtang, mama." The little guy drooled and stared at the little sugar man with bright eyes.
Yinzhen smiled, took a handkerchief to wipe the saliva from the corner of the little prince's mouth, and leaned over to hold the child in his arms.
The nine-month-old child was not afraid of strangers. He held the candy man and was held in his father's arms obediently.
When the little guy got tired of eating the candy, he raised his head and handed the melted candy man to his father: "Eat, eat, father, eat."
It was the first time in his life that Yinzhen heard a child call him "Ama", and he was stunned for a moment.
After being stunned for a long time, she slowly opened her lips at Su Peisheng's reminder, took a sip of the candy man, and choked with sobs as if she wanted to cry.
I am especially thankful that I was reunited with my father before Huier became intelligent, otherwise he would have missed out on countless happy family times.
"Master, Nanny Chun prepared some milk tea, but Concubine Fu refused to drink it, saying that she wanted to feed the little prince herself." The young eunuch reminded outside the door.
Yinzhen forced a smile, and when he thought of the abnormality that happened to her last night, his handsome face flushed slightly.
Idiot, does she know that breastfeeding is extremely harmful to a woman's body?
When Yinzhen thought about how Chen Qingyan had treated her the same way as he did last night for countless days and nights, he became furious.
After handing the little prince over to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen walked towards the inner room and pushed away the medicine in the servant's hand.
"Nara! Who are you keeping your virginity for?"
The man shouted angrily, and Chu Xian was confused.
She just didn't drink the milk tea, so how did it become about someone she was keeping her virginity for? It was completely incomprehensible.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing the man approaching with a cold face, Chu Xian was so scared that she curled up on the side of the bed.
"Don't know? Haha, then just bear with it."
The man's eyes swept across her clothes unscrupulously, and Chu Xian blushed.
His eyes were sharp and he could see that she was in pain and discomfort.
Chu Xian turned her back and ignored him.
After the man snorted coldly behind her, two unfamiliar maids carried her into the spacious carriage.
Nanny Chun bowed and entered the carriage, placing the food box on the low table.
"Mammy, where are all the villagers? Did he massacre them?"
Yuanhua Village was eerily quiet today, with not even a soul in sight. Usually at this time of day, the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village would be filled with men, women, young and old, chatting and gossiping.
Chu Xian was very worried that the man would harm innocent villagers.
"Fujin, the Fourth Master is not one who kills innocent people. You may not know that I have been lurking near Yuanhua Village for two days. During these two days, I know everything you have done in the village."
Chu Xian was stunned. No wonder she always felt like someone was watching her these past few days. She even thought she was being suspicious.
"The villagers are kind to you, and I will repay you for your kindness."
"I have relocated all the villagers to Danzhou Zhuangzi for resettlement. They have also been incorporated into the Han army bannermen from ordinary civilians. Every one of them is grateful to me."
"Humph, I think he wants to silence me."
At least the lives of the entire Yuanhua Village were saved, and Chu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Fu Jin's expression had eased a little, Nanny Chun hurriedly took the opportunity to mediate.
"Fujin, in fact, the Fourth Master has been keeping his chastity for you for the past six months. He still has feelings for you. All you need to do is say a few soft words and go along with him, and you and the Fourth Master will surely be reconciled."
"What does it have to do with me? I didn't stop him from hugging girls left and right." Chu Xian pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
A group of servants were following Su Peisheng, walking out of the study one after another.
Only then did I realize that what Nanny Chun said was true. The people serving him were either maids or eunuchs, and the only young servants were Xianrong and Suiqing who were by her side.
No wonder he acted like a bad person last night. She almost thought she would die in bed.
I don't know how long he hasn't had sex with a woman. The first two times last night, he was like a young man who had never experienced sex before.
After two embarrassing moments, he finally regained his strength in the third moment.
At that time, she thought that this was the first time Chen Qingyan had done such a thing and did not think much about it. But now she thought that the man might have developed some health problems.
Just when he was feeling embarrassed, the carriage curtain was lifted again, and the man walked into the carriage with a cold face.
Chu Xian turned her back and lay in front of the carriage window, ignoring him.
As the carriage bumped along the mountain road, Chu Xian became increasingly restless. It felt as if two branding irons had burned through her chest, and the pain was so severe that she saw stars every time she breathed.
Chu Xian stole a glance at the man who was calm and composed, supporting his chin with his hand. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She decided to just give up and turned around to undress.
But today, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't squeeze it out, and it became more and more painful.
In the end, the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe. She burst into tears in grievance and sobbed softly at first. Seeing that the man was indifferent, she simply opened her throat and cried loudly.
As I cried, my whole body began to feel hot and gradually became sore.
From the moment she stepped into the carriage, her every move could easily distract him.
She cried heart-wrenchingly, but why was it she who was crying but he was the one in pain?
He hated himself for being so easily manipulated by her, and hated himself for degrading himself in front of her and breaking his spine and dignity.
He hated her and wanted her dead.
Last night, his fingertips tightened around her neck countless times. With just a little force, the greatest shame of his life could be completely erased.
But in the end...after the murderous intent approached her, it uncontrollably turned into confused desires.
At this moment, he stared at the person's back silently and hated her.
Chu Xian's vision gradually became blurred. As she was about to fall, she fell into a familiar embrace. She had no strength to struggle anymore. She closed her eyes and fainted completely.
"Imperial Physician!"
Su Peisheng, who was standing outside the carriage, was suddenly frightened when he heard the Fourth Master's panicked cry. He wondered if the Master had tortured the Concubine to death...
Nanny Chun was so frightened that her legs were shaking. It was not until Sui Qing said that the concubine had milk duct obstruction and a fever that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fujin is fine, she just has a milk blockage, it can be drained out."
Nanny Chun stretched out her hand and rubbed it gently, then immediately frowned and said, "No, I can't squeeze it out."
Nanny Chun hesitated to speak and looked at the Fourth Master who was sitting upright: "Fujin is running a fever, and we can't let the young prince come to help relieve it. If the fever continues, I'm afraid..."
Sui Qing wanted to say that she came to smoke, but suddenly she saw Nanny Chun winking at her, so she quickly lowered her head and remained silent.
"Everyone get out."
Hearing the Fourth Master's cold order, Nanny Chun hurriedly pulled Sui Qing out of the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Yinzhen stared at the man's red cheeks, gritted his teeth and leaned over.
When Chu Xian was delirious with fever, she felt Hui'er lying in her arms.
Remembering that she had a fever and might have mastitis, she must not let Hui'er breastfeed. Chu Xian weakly reached out to push him away, but her fingertips touched a solid touch.
She was so scared that she opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw clearly who was lying in her arms, she felt ashamed and angry.
“Don’t… um…”
The feeble sound of resistance instead took on an ambiguous meaning.
Yinzhen had no other thoughts at first, but her screams were too loud...
Thinking that she had also enjoyed sex in another man's bed, he became angry and embarrassed, and frivolously moved along the man's spine and pushed down lightly.
Chu Xian didn't have the strength to push him away, and he succeeded in just a few moves.
The noise in the carriage intensified.
Su Peisheng hurriedly parked the carriage beside a wild lake, retreated a hundred steps away, and boiled hot water to prepare for his master to wash.
As the sun was setting, Chu Xian finally regained her strength and angrily threw the handkerchief stained with his filth at the man.
The man wiped the water marks from the corner of his lips playfully. The faint redness at the corners of his eyes had not yet faded. He stood up with a cold face, put on his clothes, and left.
After the man left, Sui Qing and Nanny Chun entered the carriage to help her wash and dress.
Sui Qing saw the dense marks of love on Fu Jin's body and burst into tears: "Fourth Master is so cruel, there is not a single piece of good flesh left on Fu Jin..."
Nanny Chun pursed her lips and said nothing. She didn't know how to explain to the little girl Suiqing that the marks on Fu Jin's body were not caused by beatings from the master, but by kissing.
The Fourth Master has feelings for Lady Fujin, but is unwilling to forgive her for eloping with another man. Lady Fujin is also unwilling to give in. No one is willing to take the initiative to show goodwill. What should the Fourth Master do?
After washing and changing clothes, Xianrong brought in a bowl of contraceptive soup: "Fujin, this is the contraceptive soup that Master gave you."
Chu Xian was choking with anger. She grabbed the contraceptive soup and threw it out the window: "Let him feed himself!"
She gnashed her teeth in hatred that the bastard actually treated her as a toy for his sexual gratification.
Su Peisheng happened to be standing outside the carriage and was splashed with medicinal soup all over his head. Without time to change his clothes, Su Peisheng wiped his face and trotted to the carriage behind.
"Master, the wife refuses to drink the contraceptive soup, and the servants can't persuade her. The wife says she wants you to feed her yourself."
Yinzhen had just finished bathing and changing clothes, rubbing the teeth marks on his neck left by the man. Upon hearing this, his face turned stern: "Boil another bowl."
Inside the carriage, Chu Xian was rubbing her aching waist and was about to call Nanny Chun to bring Xiao Huier over. When she opened the carriage curtain, she happened to see the man's sinister face.
The man came in with his robe lifted and sat in front of her.
"Master, the contraceptive soup is ready." Su Peisheng handed in a bowl of black medicine from outside the carriage.
Yinzhen took the medicine and patiently passed it to Nara's lips: "It's best not to tell me that you are pregnant before your next menstrual period."
Chu Xian was stung by the man's disgusted tone and raised her hand to overturn the medicine cup. "Since you despise me for being a withered flower, why do you force me to sleep with you? Fourth Prince, I'm sorry for you, you endure the disgust and force yourself on me."
"Aren't you afraid that I might get sick and become impotent?"
"To tell you the truth, I have been having affairs with many men in the past few months, and have been a bride almost every night. Please let me go, and let yourself go, so as not to get infected with a dirty disease."
Chu Xian was so angry that she lost her mind and told lies to vent her anger.
After all, she had once been that man's bedmate, so she knew how to hurt him and force him to kill her.
"Admit it, Fourth Prince, you have feelings for me."
With a bang, the low table in front of her was smashed into pieces, and the man grabbed her neck in anger.
Chu Xian looked up, clenched her teeth and said nothing.
It’s better to die, so that I don’t have to watch Hui’er die tragically at the age of eight, and don’t have to endure the disgust of sharing a husband with someone else.
"Do you really think I dare not kill you? Huh?"
His fingertips tightened, and he could even clearly feel the pulse surging in her neck with the palm of his hand.
Yinzhen's eyes were ruthless, and he said, "Forget it, let's put an end to it once and for all today."
Her throat was strangled, and Chu Xian clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to open her mouth to breathe.
When I was on the verge of death, the past events appeared before my eyes one by one like a passing scene.
She saw her father, mother, Wan Ning, Xiao Hui'er, Liang Amu, Uncle Cao, her brother and sister-in-law, her nephews and nieces, Xianrong and Suiqing, and Aunt Chun...
The picture flashed, and a warm smile appeared before my eyes.
Is Chi Zheng here to pick her up? Chu Xian smiled back. No, he was personally sending her off for the last time.
Yinzhen's furious gaze was attracted by Nara's sad smile for no reason. His heart felt sour and bitter, and he loosened his hand uncontrollably.
The world was spinning before her eyes. Chu Xian covered her neck, coughed painfully, and gasped for breath.
"Fujin!" Nanny Chun didn't care about anything else and rushed into the carriage.
Seeing the bruised five finger marks on Fu Jin's neck, he was scared out of his wits.
"Master, Fu Jin is the eldest prince's biological mother after all, how could you kill Fu Jin so cruelly..."
Nanny Chun protected the frightened Fu Jin behind her and burst into tears.
"Cough cough cough cough cough... Mammy... don't beg..." Chu Xian weakly grabbed Mammy Chun's wide sleeves.
The man left with a sullen face and never approached her again for the next month.
At the end of October, Chu Xian stood on the deck of the ship returning to Beijing, looking at the man playing with Hui'er on the deck from afar.
The little guy kept calling her "Ama", which made her feel sad. Hui'er hadn't called her mother for a long time.
"Fujin, the little prince has been taken care of by the Fourth Master himself these days. Father and son sleep together at night. The Master has taken very good care of the little prince. Look, the little prince has gained some weight."
Su Peisheng stood behind Fu Jin with his hands in his pockets.
"Thank you, Eunuch Su, for taking care of the young prince." Chu Xian nodded politely.
Su Peisheng took great care of the young prince and deserved her generous reward.
"Oh, Madam, it is my duty to serve the master. I can only work like a slave for the little prince, but the little prince's future still needs to be planned by you, his biological mother. What do you think?" Su Peisheng hinted with a smile.
How could Chu Xian not understand Su Peisheng's hint that she needed to win favor for the young prince's future and win over the Fourth Master's heart?
She just smiled without saying anything and looked at Xiao Huier.
"Fujin, my master has restored the title of prince yesterday. Now our eldest prince is the prince of Yong." Su Peisheng's eyes were full of joy.
Chu Xian was surprised. She didn't expect that man to be so clever. In just less than a month, he handled a salt corruption case with ease on his way back to Beijing, and was able to persuade Emperor Kangxi to grant him the title of a prince.
If that person were to hand over the report on cheating in the imperial examinations in Jiangnan to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and with the support of the corruption case in the Liangjiang River, it would only be a matter of time before he regained his status as a prince.
As expected, on October 30, the 38th year of the Kangxi reign, the man's 21st birthday, received an imperial edict promoting him to the rank of Heshuo Yong Prince. "Fujin, today is the prince's birthday, and he's conferring another princely title. Even if it's just a young prince, you need to be polite and courteous," Nanny Chun advised earnestly.
"Many people are congratulating him, and I am no exception. Why should I go and bring bad luck upon myself, and then he will strangle me to death." Chu Xian pulled the quilt over her head and covered it with it.
She wanted to hug the little prince more than seeing that man.
These days, she could only see the little prince from afar. Damn it! That person didn't even allow the little prince to get close to her.
She had no choice but to hand over the responsibility of feeding the little prince to the wet nurse and drink the milk-replenishing tea.
At this moment, Xianrong brought over a cup of tea. "Fujin, the prince has ordered the ship to dock at the Qinhuai River in Jiangning Prefecture tonight. He said he wants to take the young prince to visit the Confucius Temple in Jiangning Prefecture."
"Oh, Madam Chun, you and Suiqing should serve the little prince and take good care of him. Don't let him eat anything carelessly."
