Chapter 494 A Great Harvest of Love
Defei took a close look at her son and noticed that there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth. She was stunned for a moment.
Although the Manchus did not mind having twins, they had been in the Pass for many years and Han officials occupied a large part of the court, so they were still very taboo about it.
The fourth brother was a man who usually followed rules, and Concubine De was worried that he would be taboo, but now looking at his expression, he seemed to be really happy.
However, Concubine De was secretly praying in her heart, hoping that Jiuer would give birth to a son and a daughter.
In this way, the Han officials would be spared from making a big fuss about this matter.
"I recently got two new purple jade pomegranates. They look really festive. You can take them back later. Give her some wine so she can rest assured and take care of her pregnancy."
The Fourth Master immediately thanked him.
Defei asked about Wenjiu's recent health, and the Fourth Master answered her questions one by one. Defei talked about many things about her pregnancy, and the Fourth Master listened very carefully. Because of talking about Wenjiu, the mother and son chatted for a quarter of an hour, which was not a long time.
Aunt Wen was also a little confused when she saw this situation.
When I sent the Fourth Master out of Yonghe Palace, I was still a little dazed.
After seeing the Fourth Master leave, Concubine De couldn't help but sigh with Aunt Wen: "The Fourth Master has grown up."
She had told the Fourth Master before about the difficulties women face when giving birth, but the Fourth Master was always impatient to listen, and she didn't see any point in talking about it herself.
It was the first time that Defei saw him listening to her so seriously, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Jiu'er was a very lucky girl. Ever since she entered Lao Si's backyard, good things had always happened. For a moment, a smile appeared on her face.
[Ding, I received two hearts from Concubine De.]
Wenjiu was stunned when he heard the news broadcast by the system again. He looked at Xiaojin for a long time and couldn't recover from his shock.
"If I remember correctly, this is the third time you've received love, right?"
Xiao Jin nodded immediately and said, "Master, in just this morning, we've received four hearts from the Fourth Master, two hearts from the Empress Dowager, one heart from Emperor Kangxi, and two hearts from Consort De. Master, you're truly amazing. You haven't even moved a muscle, and you've received so much love."
Xiao Jin's eyes sparkled as he looked at Wen Jiu, and he immediately added, "Master, now we have the love of Concubine De. Once we add it, the attributes of the young masters will return to normal values! We still have two gift packs, and there may be randomly allocated attribute points in them. Who knows, the task of raising a child may be completed in one go!"
Wenjiu was inexplicably excited at this moment. He returned to Qingliang Pavilion and before he had time to settle down, he wanted to rush into the space to see what the gift package was.
But before she could go in and take a look, she saw Xiaodouzi running back breathlessly: "Miss, the Third Master, the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master, the Thirteenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master are all here at the mansion."
After hearing this, Wenjiu put the gift package aside for the time being and stood up to greet them.
But when they got to the door, no one showed up for a long time. Wenjiu was also a little puzzled, so he pointed at Xiaodouzi and said, "Go to the front and ask what's going on."
The gentlemen were familiar with her Qingliang Pavilion. Qingliang Pavilion was in the northeast corner, with a garden in front. It was not considered a backyard, so it didn't take them long to get there. I wonder if they were interrupted by other things.
In fact, Wenjiu's guess was correct. The princes were indeed stopped by someone.
"My lords, Lord Beile has not returned yet. Please wait here for a moment. I will send someone to invite Lord Beile."
Li was dressed elegantly and gracefully. With a smile on her face, she said to Lai Shou beside her, "Go, ask the kitchen to bring the best snacks to entertain the gentlemen."
As he spoke, he personally served hot tea to everyone.
The gentlemen beside him looked at each other, and then they all held their teacups and drank tea silently.
Jiu Ye, who was always eloquent, didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that they all looked at each other intently, Thirteen silently stepped forward and said with a smile, "Little sister-in-law, there's no need to worry. Fourth brother is still in the palace. We agreed earlier that he would be back soon. We can just sit here and wait for a while."
When the Tenth Master heard this, he became anxious. He didn't want to wait here. He wanted to go to Qingliang Pavilion!
But before the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt a pain in his foot.
He almost shouted out loud, but his ninth brother covered his mouth the next second.
He turned his head with resentment and saw Jiu Ye staring at him with a warning look on his face.
The Tenth Master finally shut his mouth in grievance.
Why don't you let him speak?
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes at him and ignored him completely.
Didn't you see that no one said anything? Only his little brother was so silly and adorable.
A bunch of princes, after entering the house, hurried to find the fourth brother's concubine. Is this reasonable? You can't tarnish the reputation of the fourth brother's wife.
No matter how urgent it is, there is no need to rush at this moment. After this concubine leaves, where can they go?
"How can this be possible? Now that Lord Beile trusts me, he has handed the household affairs over to me. Naturally, I will treat you well."
As they were talking, Lai Shou came trotting over with some snacks. Li took the food boxes herself and placed them on the table one plate at a time.
Li naturally knew that Wenjiu had been taking care of the affairs of the Fourth Master in the past two days.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but since the concubine was still making trouble, she held herself back and didn't move.
Unexpectedly, one day later, Fu Jin was placed under house arrest, and the household expenses fell on her head. Although the Fourth Master did not give her the key, the account book had already been sent to her.
The people in the mansion are so short-sighted. Wen Jiu has only been in charge of the front yard for two days, but everyone actually has a certain degree of faith in her.
Li thought that today she wanted to let everyone know who was the real person in charge of the backyard.
"The crab roe pastry and plum blossom cheese are both delicious. Would you like to try them?"
The Third Master glanced at him with a lack of interest, leaned back in his chair lazily, and seemed unwilling to speak.
Ninth Master and Tenth Master looked at each other, and finally Tenth Master gave face and took a piece of crab cake: "Hmm, it tastes okay."
The Tenth Master always had a good appetite. He ate little in the morning, but now two or three hours had passed and he was hungry. He wanted to eat two more pieces, but he thought that he would go to the Fourth Master's house soon and there might be better food there, so he took two bites and put it down.
Thirteen also took a piece, took a casual bite, and then put it on the small plate for a long time without touching it.
Fourteen glanced outside several times, and seeing Li standing there with no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't you busy? If you are, you can do your own thing. We can just sit here and wait."
"How can this be possible? I still have to serve you here." The smile on Li's face froze a little.
"You'd better go and do your work. We really don't need you to serve us here." Fourteen said again.
Li was stunned for a moment, but she finally managed a smile and said, "It just so happens that my servants at home know how to make some new snacks. How about asking her to make some for you gentlemen to try?"
"Then thank you, little sister-in-law." After hearing this, several people began to express their gratitude. After all, she was the fourth brother's concubine, so they had to give her some respect.
Li smiled and nodded. As soon as she left, her expression darkened. She looked at Lai Shou and said, "Go, tell Wen Jiu to make some fresh snacks. Watch her make them herself."
