Chapter 342 Fourth Master: Where is the young prince?
Jiu Ye immediately slipped away. It was impossible for him to say he wasn't afraid of Fourth Brother. He still needed an hour of extra training. It was better to stay as far away as possible, lest he be upset and start training him again.
The person behind me was silent, and at this moment he was staring blankly at me, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"What are you thinking about? Are you lost?"
Seeing his expression, Buyan slapped him on the forehead.
Buyu rubbed his head, and when he saw the Fourth Master, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, the young lady..."
The Fourth Master frowned: "What's wrong with her?"
He said nothing with an embarrassed look on his face: "The girl said she is pregnant again." Then he secretly looked at his master's face.
The girl has been talking about her pregnancy these days, and the master is almost going crazy about it.
A few days ago, he had even spotted a book of prescriptions worth a fortune on his master's desk. Even yesterday, when he finally had some free time, his master went to the Imperial Hospital and spent a long time discussing medical matters with Doctor Wang, the hospital's most expert on childbirth.
Buyu knew that the master just wanted to give the girl a child as soon as possible so that she would not have any other thoughts.
But now, the girl's condition has become even worse. She even said this to Master Jiu. Does she really take the pregnancy as a reality?
The Fourth Master's narrow eyes were filled with worry, and he asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
He spoke without saying a word, "Just now, Master Jiu went to Qingliang Pavilion, and the young lady told Master Jiu that she was pregnant. Master Jiu also left a jade pendant, saying it was for the young prince..."
"Young prince?" The Fourth Master had a stiff face. Where was the young prince?
He had recently gained some understanding of pregnancy. How long had it been since the last time the doctor from the Liu Mansion took the little girl's pulse? The medicine he got from the doctor hadn't been used yet. How could she be pregnant so soon?
Besides, the little girl hadn't let him touch her for the past two days. If he wanted to get a little closer, she would act cute and act like a spoiled child, or she would beg him in a wronged manner. The Fourth Master couldn't be too lenient, nor was he too harsh.
In the past, it was common for me not to go to the backyard for a month or two. Now I don’t know why, but if I don’t go there for a day, I feel like something is missing.
"By the way, Master, Master Jiu also said that he would send something back to the young prince later."
The corner of the Fourth Master's mouth twitched, and he lifted his robe and headed towards Qingliang Pavilion with a bold move.
"Good luck, Lord Beile." Lai Fu, the eunuch beside the concubine, saw the Fourth Master from afar and immediately ran over to kneel and pay his respects. He then said, "Lord Beile, the concubine has ordered the kitchen to make a very delicious old duck soup today and asked me to bring it to you to nourish your body. Would you like to try it?"
The Fourth Master didn't stop walking, but just waved his hand and said, "No more drinking. Just let Fu Jin take care of her own body."
Lai Fu looked at the Fourth Master's receding back and was stunned for a moment.
It was called soup, but actually everyone knew that this was just an excuse. The wife just wanted to invite Prince to Jinghao Hall.
Could it be that Lord Beile didn't understand? Or was he really angry?
Ever since His Majesty came to the mansion, Lord Beile has never been to the main courtyard again.
The wife had asked him to deliver things several times, but the prince was always indifferent. Thinking of this, Lai Fu became more and more panicked. Thinking of the wife who was still pretending to be sick and not going out, he suddenly became anxious and hurried back to report.
"You said that the prince didn't even look at you?" In Jinghao Hall, Ulanara's hand holding the needle and thread suddenly stopped.
"Fujin, why don't you just give in to Lord Beile? It's been a long time since last time. " Lai Fu couldn't help but advise. Seeing how Lord Beile was so anxious to go to Qingliang Pavilion just now, Lai Fu couldn't let it go.
Ulanara threw her needlework into the basket and said, "Give in? How can I give in? I've already sent you soup several times. Do you still want me to kneel down and beg for mercy?"
Seeing Ulanara's anger, Lai Fu immediately knelt down and said, "I have spoken out of turn."
"Bitch!" Ulanara's chest heaved violently. "It's one thing for Li to ride on my coattails all day long, but now a concubine dares to insult me. Do you really think that there are no more Ulanaras?"
"Please calm down, Fu Jin, please calm down..."
Lai Fu knocked his head to the ground and didn't dare to get up for a long time.
"Stupid, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nanny Sun glared at Lai Fu and said, "The prince didn't come to our Jinghao Hall because he's been busy taking care of the princes' studies. Didn't the concubine go to Ruyi Pavilion either? The new bride didn't sleep with him either, so how can you say that he wants the concubine to surrender?"
Lai Fu was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes, yes, Madam, you are right. It was I who made the mistake."
"Fujin's favorite steamed plum blossom cakes are ready. Go and get them." Nanny Sun and Lai Fu exchanged glances and sent the people out.
She glanced at Fu Jin again and saw that Fu Jin's face still didn't look good. Nanny Sun came over and said gently, "Fu Jin, I heard that the master has been going to Qingliang Pavilion frequently recently because Miss Wen has been feeling unwell recently."
"Hmm?" Ulanara looked over when she heard that.
Nanny Sun smiled and said, "Some time ago, the master asked the doctor of the Liu Mansion for some medicine. What do you think it was for?"
"Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us." Ulanara frowned.
Nanny Sun's smile did not diminish: "I have inquired and learned that the doctor in Liu Mansion gave medicine to regulate the female body. I am afraid that Wen Jiu also wants to have a child."
After listening to this, Ulanara slowly picked up her needlework again, and said with a gentle look: "She, even if she takes medicine all her life, she won't be so lucky."
Nanny Sun said with a smile: "That's right, why are you angry with such a thing? Even if the prince is still concerned about her, if she can't have children, she is still a thing. Isn't she being treated coldly at Ruyi Pavilion now?
"Fujin, we should be happy now. Someone like this has divided Lord Beile's heart. Wait a while, and when Li really falls out of favor, what grounds will she have to act arrogantly?"
"Mammy, I still like you best." Ulanara nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and then frowned again: "But, Mammy, do you think the Fourth Master is really not angry with me?"
After all, she had embarrassed the Fourth Master that day. It would have been easy for the Fourteenth Master to fool her, but he was the Fourth Master's younger brother. If she kept holding on to this, the Fourth Master would probably not be happy.
The emperor did not punish her severely, and she was still unsure whether she had deceived Fourteenth.
"Fujin, there is no need to worry. Concubine De has always favored the Fourteenth Master. Our Prince has suffered countless grievances. Over the years, the Fourteenth Master and our Prince have not been close. The Prince will not favor the Fourteenth Master.
Besides, you are the legitimate wife. When the Fourteenth Master said that in public, he showed that he did not care about the Prince's reputation. It is good that the Prince did not get angry with him. You can rest assured."
