Chapter 533: Don’t like the Fourth Lady?
Emperor Kangxi thought that Wen was quite thoughtful, but he couldn't help but frown as he looked at her. "These little things look too girly. It's not good for a man of integrity to be carrying these little things around every day. Talk to Wen later and ask her to find some boyish things for her."
The Fourth Master heard this and replied, "Yes."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I don't think my younger sister Ye knew that she would give birth to so many princes at once." The Crown Princess said with a smile.
Emperor Kangxi nodded when he heard this. But who could have imagined that she would give birth to so many sons in one go?
The Crown Princess laughed again, "Father, can I go and see my younger sister-in-law? Giving birth is not easy for a girl, and I want to see how she is doing."
Emperor Kangxi naturally wouldn't stop her, and simply said, "Go ahead. Be more cautious and see if there's anything else she's done inappropriately, and help her out."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Father, I'm always so attentive, how could there be anything wrong? My daughter-in-law really likes her arrangement and is thinking of asking my daughter-in-law to teach me."
Emperor Kangxi just waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
It is said that the Crown Princess is the one among the younger generation who makes him most at ease and is the best in poetry, literature and etiquette. It is rare for Emperor Kangxi to speak so gently to her.
The Fourth Master glanced at the Crown Princess, and before he could tell anyone to go with her, the Crown Princess quickly left the door.
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment, and finally let the Crown Princess pass.
He also noticed that the Crown Princess seemed to like wine very much.
Besides, today’s search for a wet nurse was thanks to the help of the Crown Princess.
Upon learning that he was looking for someone, the Crown Princess took advantage of the situation and sent someone to the Imperial Household Department to fetch the best wet nurses. All of them were of clean backgrounds. The Fourth Master naturally remembered her favor.
I thought to myself, it would be nice if the Crown Princess could go and take a look.
Now the children were sleeping soundly, and I didn't know whether Jiu'er had woken up or not.
If she woke up and couldn't see him, she would probably be in a bad mood. It would be nice to have the Crown Princess to talk to.
Speaking of this, the Fourth Master couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Before Jiuer gave birth, she pulled me aside and softly told me that after the birth, I must not just focus on taking care of the child and forget about her.
The Fourth Master was still wondering at the time, how could this be possible?
But now, isn't she left alone in the room with everyone looking after the child?
I couldn't help but frown slightly, not knowing when I could get away.
As for the Crown Princess, as soon as she came out, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.
She had wanted to come to the house for a long time.
It was because the prince had not allowed her to go, and he also said that although she was his sister-in-law, she was still a concubine in the mansion giving birth, and it would not be good for her to come too early, as it would embarrass the Fourth Lady.
This morning, when I woke up, I wanted to come earlier, but the prince said that according to the rules, it would be better for me to come with him. So I waited like this until this moment, and I was so angry that I followed the prince.
Fortunately, the anger in my heart dissipated a little when I saw the children.
"Pinming, how come Concubine Wen is so clever? Those little things in the room are so beautiful, and the little snacks she made earlier are all different from others. We're both beauties, so why didn't I think of these things?"
Pinming: "...Crown Princess, you certainly have your abilities. If compared to others, Concubine Wen is probably no match for you."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. If she really took my position, who knows who would be better..."
As she spoke, the Crown Princess suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked over: "Is that the person who was with the Fourth Lady?"
Pinming glanced at it and nodded. The two looked at each other and both frowned.
"Crown Princess, this Madam Sun is an old lady now. Why is she sneaking around Qingliang Pavilion? What is she doing?"
The Crown Princess curled her lips and said slowly, "What can a wife do when she finds out that her concubine has given birth to quadruplets?
She is under house arrest and cannot leave the mansion. Given her personality, now that the emperor is in front of her, she is likely to pretend to be virtuous and find ways to break the house arrest.
I'm really curious, I really want to see her expression when she hears that the concubine has given birth to four sons."
Pinming listened to the words of his own Crown Princess and finally tried to persuade her: "Crown Princess, even if you don't like the Fourth Lady, please take these things into consideration to avoid any ears."
The Crown Princess gave a weak smile and said nothing more.
Pinming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, knowing that it was his own Crown Princess throwing a tantrum again.
But it's true, the Fourth Lady is really an unpleasant person.
It is said that the Crown Prince had earlier instructed the Crown Princess to take better care of the Fourth Lady.
When the Fourth Lady first entered the palace, she appeared to be a virtuous and easy-going person.
Although the Crown Princess didn't like people with this kind of personality, she still gritted her teeth and brought her by her side, taking care of her in everything.
But not a single bit of good was lost. That Fourth Lady was always good at playing tricks.
Earlier, the Empress Dowager had tasked the Crown Princess and the Fourth Lady with embroidering a pattern. The Crown Princess labored diligently, preparing silk thread, the finest tools and silk, drawing the pattern, and embroidering the base and colors before handing it over to the Fourth Lady, who was to complete the final work.
After the embroidery was completed, the Crown Princess never saw it. Half a month later, she saw it at the Queen Mother's. She said it was presented by the Fourth Lady. She also said, "The Crown Princess was too busy, so I didn't bother her."
It would be fine if it was just a matter of grabbing credit, but there was another incident. One time, the Crown Princess and the First Lady were strolling in the Imperial Garden together.
As luck would have it, I ran into the Third and Fourth Concubines, who were gossiping. They said, "Although we may not be as high-ranking as them, we're not any worse off. At least we both have sons. Years from now, we'll see who has a better life."
"Of course. For example, the Crown Princess and the First Lady, who can't give birth to a son, their future is uncertain."
Who can bear this?
The Crown Princess looked gentle, but she wasn't a good person. She didn't let the Fourth Lady have an easy time either.
Didn’t the Fourth Lady like embroidery? The Crown Princess simply threw a few embroidery patterns to her to embroider.
He went to the palace of Concubine De twice more and calmly told her everything that had happened on both occasions. As expected, Concubine De was also furious after hearing it, and turned around and threw a few more sad embroidery pictures to the Fourth Lady.
Although the anger was relieved, the prince was also angered.
The Crown Prince has always been on good terms with the Fourth Master. When he learned that the Crown Princess was so disrespectful to the Fourth Master, he felt that the Crown Princess was going against him and was naturally angry.
