Chapter 489: Congratulations, Fourth Prince
Wenjiu was lazily supporting his head at the moment. Seeing Shanzha looking angry, he rolled his eyes at her with amusement and winked at her.
Shanzha finally took the handkerchief, snorted coldly, and ignored Moxiang.
Liusu, who was standing next to her, smiled and called out, "Thank you, Sister Moxiang."
At this age, there is no need for the girl to argue with such a person. It is really not worth it.
Liusu was familiar with Moxiang, having been her immediate superior. The girl was her immediate superior's rival.
Looking closely, Liusu knew all about the entanglement between the young lady and Mo Xiang. There wasn't anything overly egregious about it, just some flattery and bullying, a common occurrence in the palace. Now, they were just making a point, letting others know they weren't easy to bully. If they really settled the score, it wouldn't be worth the effort.
Liusu thought to herself that she knew the girl quite well, and she might have forgotten about this matter long ago.
However, Liusu felt a little strange. She was a concubine, so if you really compared her, she couldn't match the authority of Mo Xiang's front maid. But Mo Xiang had to put on a smile just to see her, and for a moment she felt a little secretly happy.
Then, no one paid any attention to Mo Xiang, but instead came over with Shanzha to ask Wenjiu how he wanted to dress up today.
Wenjiu casually pointed at a wooden hairpin and said, "Just tie it up casually. My head has been uncomfortable these past two days and my scalp hurts from being pulled." These days, in order to make herself look more formidable, she has been wearing her hair in a high and big bun, which hurts her scalp. If she continues to do so, her hairline will definitely move back!
Liusu, knowing her master's habits, responded with a chuckle. While helping Wenjiu comb her hair, she whispered, "Young lady, last night, Lord Beile had Concubine Fu Jin punished, and now she's been confined to Jinghao Hall. They say the account books have been taken away by Concubine Fu Jin's men. Princess Liu was also sent back yesterday; I heard she's ill. Concubine Fu Jin hasn't arranged for anyone to see her, and the number of servants she needs to serve has been reduced by half. I wonder if she can make it."
After hearing this, Wenjiu was stunned for a while. Why did she feel that the Fourth Master had done so many things while she was sleeping?
The Fourth Master's attack this time was indeed very heavy. It was said that he favored himself, and while he was moved by the wine, he couldn't really be happy.
Fu Jin was extremely vicious. Wen Jiu still had a note in his notebook about how she drugged him. Now Wen Jiu only regretted that the punishment was too light.
As Wenjiu's competitor, Liu's misfortune would only benefit Wenjiu. However, Wenjiu couldn't help but sigh.
The women here cannot see the prosperity of the world, nor the mountains and rivers. They can only be trapped in one place and fight to exhaustion, right?
Is it hateful? Yes, it is. But I can't quite hate it.
After rubbing his belly, Wen Jiu threw away the random thoughts in his head and casually picked up a pearl flower with a fresher color: "Here, add another flower."
The translucent pink pearls and pure white pearls didn't look out of place with the simple hairpin. With her deft hands, Liusu had a double bun in no time.
It’s just that this double spiral bun is a little looser than others, and the top of the head is more fluffy, which makes Wenjiu’s face look even smaller.
Wen Jiu looked very satisfied and laughed: "Not bad, not bad. I'll give my Liu Su a chicken drumstick later."
Shanzha, who was standing next to him, was unwilling to listen: "The girl only loves Sister Liusu..."
"Who said that? You love us Hawthorns too." Wenjiu poked her face: "You came here waiting so early in the morning, you miss your sister, right?"
A small heart suddenly floated out of Shanzha's head, and his eyes sparkled as he said, "I was thinking about you, even dreaming about you. This morning we started picking up things in Qingliang Pavilion. Nanny Song cut some beautiful window paper-cuts and pasted them all up, they're bright red and festive. Wangcai has been having fun in the yard since he got up in the mornings, probably because he knows you're coming back and is happy. An Luhai has also prepared the food, and our yard has been expanded while I was away, just waiting for you to come back."
Wenjiu had been in the front yard for the past two days and had not had time to meet everyone. Now that she had tidied herself up and walked out the door, she saw everyone kneeling down to greet her happily.
"Hurry up and get up." Wenjiu called out, waving her little hand and saying, "Let's go back and sit down and talk while we eat."
Then, she was surrounded by everyone and taken to her yard.
Nanny Gui, who was following behind, wanted to say something several times but finally held back. She straightened her back and followed slowly without saying a word.
"Madam Gui, today is really strange. Why don't you teach us some rules?" Li Dequan looked at Madam Gui and was surprised. He didn't expect that this palace rule-abiding person would turn a blind eye to such an unruly thing today. It was really an unprecedented story.
Nanny Gui glanced over and said, "Eunuch Li is very knowledgeable about the rules. Why don't you go to the front and give the young lady some guidance?"
It was easy to say, but her golden signboard was almost broken by this girl. The emperor even sent Eunuch Li to the girl, and she was pregnant with twins. Now was not the time to anger her.
Li Dequan: "...I don't dare to go. The emperor asked me to help the girl, not to teach her..."
Aunt Gui: "You are here to help, but I am not?"
Nanny Gui said this, ignoring Li Dequan and walked away.
Li Dequan: "We were just talking, why are you so angry?"
How many years had it been since I saw this nanny angry? If Li Dequan had a pen, he would have wanted to draw this scene. He would definitely go back and share it with Brother Liang.
Miss Wen is truly capable, able to make Aunt Gui turn a blind eye to her misbehavior. Tsk tsk, she's quite capable.
Even though Ulanara hadn't left the courtyard, she could hear the commotion outside. Her eyes narrowed immediately, "What's going on outside?"
The little maid knelt in front of him with trembling hands: "To answer the wife, it is Miss Wen who has gone to Qingliang Pavilion with her servants..."
Although Qingliang Pavilion was farther from the backyard, it was also close to the side of Jinghao Hall for a short distance. The sound of talking and laughing came clearly.
Ulanara's already gloomy face became even darker, and the veins on her forehead were popping out, but her face showed no expression at all. She just picked up the teacup and lifted the tea lid, but accidentally dropped the tea lid.
"bump!"
Ulanara put the teacup down heavily.
The little maidservant was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head and kowtowed: "Madam, please calm down..."
"Warm the wine! What a warm wine!"
Ulanara's face was a bit ferocious: "Return that bitch Li, you guys, just wait!"
I never thought the Fourth Master would confine himself to warming the wine! I wonder what kind of ecstasy this little bitch had fed Prince Beile. And Li, this time she was the one who profited. Ulanara even thought of Li's smug look!
Nanny Sun saw this and walked over cautiously, frowning and scolding: "You have no sense, why don't you clean it up quickly?"
The little girl was as if she had been pardoned. She immediately picked up the broken pieces of tea lid on the ground with a handkerchief and trotted out.
Nanny Sun then walked over to Ulanara and handed her a new teacup, saying, "Don't worry, Concubine Liu, thankfully the Liu family's matter has been dealt with. Even if Prince Beile had some suspicions, he has no evidence. You are the legitimate Concubine, and Prince Beile can't do anything to you."
Speaking of this, Ulanara was still terrified and patted her chest, "Mammy, this was a close call. Fortunately, you were quick-witted, otherwise I'm afraid something really bad would have happened."
When the prince locked her and Liu together, Ulanara was extremely anxious.
Liu was carrying a powerful musk pill she had asked her mother's family to find. Even a short sniff of it would cause a miscarriage. If the prince found out about this, there would be no good outcome.
It was the nanny who was clever. She simply forced Liu to swallow the pill. This way, no one could find out that she wanted to harm Wenjiu.
"Madam, can we trust Madam Liu? What if she's fooled by just a few words? What should we do?"
Nanny Sun just shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Madam Liu. She is already in a bad state. She can only rely on you, Madam Liu, if she wants to live. If she still wants to live, she will keep her mouth shut."
Ulanara breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope her brain is still useful."
He was a little upset for a moment. If he could get out, there would be no need to plan all these things. He could just shut that woman's mouth forever. Being imprisoned suddenly like this was really an accident.
"By the way, Mammy, has the eldest prince been taken away by the Fourth Master?"
Nanny Sun nodded: "That's right."
Ulanara frowned and said, "Let the wet nurse take good care of him and tell him to work hard. This wife can't go out recently, and it's all up to him. If he works harder and strives to be better, he can save us, mother and son.
He is the legitimate son, and must be the best one. The title of Beile will be given to him in the future. Those little bitches, just wait for me!"
Nanny Sun frowned slightly. The eldest prince was already working hard enough now. If he went to the front yard and saw the fourth master looking after him, perhaps he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The eldest prince was originally an obedient and sensible child, but now he only sleeps for two hours a day besides his schoolwork. If Fu Jin told the eldest prince this, he would probably stay up late to study hard again.
But seeing that Fu Jin also looked a little tired, Nanny Sun finally agreed, "Yes."
…
The Fourth Master went to court for the first time in a few days, and he felt that everyone around him looked at him in a strange way.
"Fourth Prince, congratulations." It was still dark when Lord Wang, the Minister of Personnel, walked towards the Fourth Master from a distance, congratulating him with a smile.
The Minister of Envoys, Lord Li, who was standing beside him, laughed when he heard this: "Lord Wang, you are wrong. From today on, you must call me Your Highness."
