Eleventh Lady handed the gallbladder bottle to Amber and introduced Yang to Zhen Jie'er: "This is Aunt Yang!"

Zhen Jie'er greeted her with a smile, then took Shiyi Niang's arm affectionately.

Xu Sizhun pulled Xu Sijie to leave: "...Mr. Zhao asked us to go early, saying that he would teach us how to make kites today!"

"Then hurry up!" Eleventh Lady sent the two to the door, "Then we will go to the back garden to fly kites."

Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie nodded with a smile and walked away hand in hand.

Zhen Jie'er went to the east side room, while Shiyi Niang and others returned to the living room and sat down. They asked Yang a few questions like "Are you used to living here?" and "Do you need anything?"

As soon as Eleventh Lady started to speak, Yang stood up respectfully. After Eleventh Lady finished her questioning, she said hurriedly, "The courtyard that Madam arranged for me is very similar to the one I lived in at home. I feel at home when I look at it, just like I'm back home. The things are more complete than what I have at home - there are large, medium and small clothes hangers. I only have one at home." Then she mentioned Madam Wen in particular, "...she is warm and straightforward to others, like a sister. I didn't know much when I first came here, so I'm grateful for her guidance."

Madam Wen laughed and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I can't say I can give you any advice, I can only say that I came in early and I know a lot of things, so I can answer whatever you ask."

"Sister Wen is so humble." Yang praised her with a sincere look on her face.

Eleventh Lady thought of Madam Wen's strange behavior today and said with a smile, "In that case, if you have anything to say, just tell Madam Wen directly in the future! I am in mourning period and don't go out often. You are a newcomer, and I feel more at ease having someone who knows me well to accompany you." Then she smiled and nodded at Madam Wen.

Madam Wen was stunned when she saw that her smile was gentle but her eyes were twinkling with a hint of cunning.

Yang has already responded respectfully.

Eleventh Lady brought the tea.

Several concubines filed out.

Yang immediately took Madam Wen's hand and said, "Sister Wen, don't we usually have to help Madam with her hairdressing and breakfast?"

Madam Wen felt that the arm she was holding was as heavy as lead. She forced a smile and said, "Madam is very tolerant to others and doesn't want us to set rules in front of her."

Yang heaved a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I was worried before I came here. I never thought I would meet someone as enthusiastic as my sister, and someone as kind as my wife. This is really my blessing!"

Madam Wen smiled awkwardly, declined Yang's invitation to sit in her room, and returned to her own room.

“Qiuhong,” she fell on the big kang by the window without taking off her shoes, “We have to think of a solution quickly. If we continue like this, we will be dragged into this sooner or later!”

Qiu Hong smiled disapprovingly and said, "What is there to be afraid of, Auntie? Didn't you say that the Marquis and Madam are on the same page now? In the past, you were worried that if you flattered the former Madam, you would offend the Marquis, or if you flattered the Marquis, you would offend the former Madam. Now, you just need to follow Madam wholeheartedly, and it will be much easier than before." As she spoke, she took off Auntie Wen's shoes, "Is it more difficult than before?"

"You don't understand!" Madam Wen got on the kang, "I think Yang is not only beautiful, but also very calm and patient. She is not a simple person. I'm afraid that when the time comes..." Having said this, she slowly fell silent.

"What are you afraid of then?" Qiuhong was very curious. She helped Madam Wen put up the bed and put in the quilt. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you afraid that Madam can't beat Yang? But even if she can't beat her, Madam is still the principal wife. The Marquis should give her some respect. I think Madam treats the people around her very well. For example, Dongqing and Binju have served her since they were young, and she has always taken care of them. If we help her, Madam will not abandon us. At most, it will be like when Madam was alive, and we will not be favored by the Marquis. Besides, even if we don't help Madam..." She paused as she spoke, swallowed the words "The Marquis still doesn't like us anyway", then turned her head and changed it to "Madam wants us to help her, how dare we not help her?" Thinking of Madam Wen's worries, "Besides, the eldest lady will rely on Madam in many ways in the future!"

Aunt Wen frowned as she listened: "Let me think about it carefully..."

Qiuhong didn't dare to disturb him and walked out of the door quietly.

After seeing off several concubines, Eleventh Lady first went to see Zhen Jie'er who was embroidering in the east room, and then went to the inner room.

Xu Lingyi fell asleep leaning on the pillow.

Eleventh Lady helped him draw the pillow.

Xu Lingyi looked at her sleepily, turned over and went back to sleep.

Shiyi Niang covered him with the quilt and left quietly. She asked Zhu Xiang to make dumplings for Xu Sizhun and had breakfast in the west room. Seeing that Xu Lingyi was still asleep, she went to the lady first.

Knowing that Xu Lingyi had drunk too much, the lady said angrily, "You should persuade him more in the future and not let him do whatever he wants."

"It's just something I do occasionally." Eleventh Lady couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that she didn't mention Xu Lingyi's plan to ask the imperial physician to see him. "The Marquis is a man of his own ideas."

The mother-in-law is a little worried when the daughter-in-law doesn't care; but she is even more worried when the daughter-in-law really takes care of her son.

The lady said nothing more. She urged her to go back: "...Old Four also needs someone to take care of him!"

Eleventh Lady said goodbye to the lady and returned to her room.

The imperial physician is here.

He took Xu Lingyi's pulse, prescribed a few doses of medicine, and suggested: "...It's best to make it into pills. Take two pills if you feel uncomfortable after drinking."

Xu Lingyi thought this was a good idea and asked Lin Bo to take the prescription to get the medicine and make pills.

Now that’s good, I have nothing to fear!

Eleventh Lady came out from behind the screen, muttering to herself while pouring a cup of tea for Xu Lingyi, who was lying on the bed.

A servant ran in: "Prince Shun is here!"

Eleventh Lady stood up and avoided it.

Xu Lingyi said, "He's not a stranger, come and meet him!" He was a little hesitant at first, but became more and more determined as he spoke, "We grew up together!"

Meet friends you grew up with!

In her mind, this means approval. In his mind, what is it?

Eleventh Lady stared at Xu Lingyi with a somewhat obscure look.

* * * * * *

Through the bright glass windows, you can clearly see the tender yellow leaf buds on the branches.

Yang smiled slightly, and her pretty face immediately brightened.

"Miss!" Mother Yang came in holding a black lacquered tea tray with lilies and honeysuckle inlaid on it, "It's the best Biluochun." She couldn't help but reveal a bit of joy in her eyes.

"Call her Auntie instead!" Yang looked at her nurse and her expression became serious. "From now on, you have to call her Auntie. There is no such thing as 'Miss' anymore."

"Yes!" Mother Yang responded respectfully, lowered her eyelids and placed the teacup on the kang table, with a hint of sadness on her face.

"What's there to be sad about?" Yang brought the tea with a smile, "I chose this path myself. Even if I have to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and die in pieces, I can't blame others. Besides, look at me now, I live in a mansion, wear silk and satin, and have people taking care of me at home. What else can I complain about!" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"Miss!" Thinking of the Xu family's neglect, Yang's mother's eyes moistened, "It's all Madam's fault..."

"Don't say such things again." Yang took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yang's mother, whispering her true feelings, "She just loves her son more. I also know that Xiao Luo, a concubine's daughter, can be respected by several young masters and young ladies. She can't be just a gentle and tolerant person. But things have come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time. Could it be more dangerous than entering the palace..."

* * * * * *

Prince Shun was a fat, fair-skinned man. When he walked in, the first thing you saw was his pot belly wrapped tightly in purple silk, and then you saw his full-moon-like face.

Eleventh Lady was slightly surprised and couldn't help but smile.

She had seen Princess Shun from a distance several times at palace ceremonies. If Prince Shun was a meat bun, then Princess Shun was a reed stick...

Prince Shun was quite surprised to see a beautiful lady in the room.

"It's my wife, Mrs. Luo." Xu Lingyi said simply.

"Oh!" Prince Shun suddenly realized, "It's the lady!"

Eleventh Lady smiled and bowed, then ordered the maid to move the armchair to the bedside and serve tea and snacks.

Prince Shun turned his fat body and sat on the armchair awkwardly. He squinted his eyes and greeted Shiyi Niang: "...Is the treasure chest you asked me to make last time still suitable for use?"

Eleventh Lady was very embarrassed.

Ever since the mutated Rubik's Cube was dragged back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she placed it in the deepest part of the warehouse. The thought of it made her embarrassed.

Xu Lingyi saw that she felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that she had never used that thing before, and it was a rare thing he had never seen before. She might have seen it in some ancient book, and then she took it for granted and asked someone to make it, but it turned out to be completely unusable.

"I just asked you to help make a treasure chest." He laughed and teased Prince Shun, "You are taking credit for it!"

"No, no!" Prince Shun laughed, "I definitely don't mean that." Then he looked at Eleventh Lady with a smile, "Madam, I heard that you opened an embroidery shop. The Dragon Boat Festival will be in two months, and the palace needs to add some Five Poison Patches. Because the quantity is small and the price offered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not high, we have not been able to find a suitable embroidery shop. I am thinking about whether to raise the price and find another embroidery shop. If Madam is interested, you can send the shopkeeper to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find me."

Eleventh Lady was a little surprised.

She thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. But there are only four or five embroiderers in my shop. This patch is a very exquisite item. If I agree rashly now, and the embroiderer doesn't embroider it well, not only will I be unable to deliver the job and miss the important matter, but it will also bring shame to you. Why don't I discuss it with the master of the embroidery shop tomorrow, and then send the shopkeeper to find you. What do you think?" Her tone was very sincere.

Prince Shun was slightly startled, then he laughed and glanced at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi had already lowered his eyes and was sipping tea.

"Madam, what you said makes sense," Prince Shun looked extremely happy, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, "Then I will wait for your letter." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Lingyi again.
