Qiu Ci was a bit slower to react. She was about to put the things sent by the main wife far away when she heard her mistress's words and didn't react for a while.
Shouldn't this disgusting thing be placed as far away as possible? Why does my master allow it to be placed in the most conspicuous spot in the room?
Qiu Hu reacted faster and naturally understood his master's meaning quickly.
"Does Master want Fourth Master to see this?"
Li Chenjiao looked at Qiu Ci and said, "Let it be. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to sleep first."
Although she felt no physical discomfort, Li Chenjiao's energy was still somewhat short, comparable to the Second Princess's excessive sleepiness.
In the evening, the Fourth Prince returned to the mansion. He first inquired about the situation in the backyard that day and learned that the Princess Consort had sent something to the East Courtyard. Although he did not say anything, he nodded slightly.
In the end, the Fourth Prince still went to the main courtyard to see his wife first.
After all, the Princess Consort is unaware that she will be unable to have children in the future, and the imperial physician has repeatedly said that the Second Prince is in a similar situation to the First Princess before, and both need to be carefully cared for.
People are probably like this; they always tend to favor those who are weaker.
Both women were giving birth, but the wife who nearly had a difficult delivery and injured her body as a result was always more pitiful. It seemed that these pitiful qualities made people forget everything the wife had done.
Li Chenjiao only learned that the Fourth Master had gone to the main courtyard after he woke up from his afternoon nap. She was wondering what she could eat when she heard Qiu Ci's cautious words and just chuckled.
"Is the bonsai display depicting 'May all your wishes come true and may you have many children' ready?"
After Li Chenjiao finished telling Qiu Hu what she wanted to eat, she asked him the question just as Qiu Hu was about to leave.
"Fine, put it away."
Li Chenjiao was confused before. If she had really let the two maids put that bonsai tree there, it would have been a way for them to annoy the Fourth Prince's wife.
But what if the Fourth Master asks who ordered it to be set up?
Li Chenjiao's intentions were self-evident, and she couldn't bring herself to push the two girls away.
Li Chenjiao was quite grateful that she was able to give birth to a healthy second princess safely and smoothly. As for anything else, she didn't care much.
The disgust for the princess consort is not something that can be experienced in a short time.
Besides, didn't Fourth Master say he would come to the East Courtyard tonight before he left this morning?
In the Fourth Master's household, there is a saying that a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Besides, Li Chenjiao hasn't forgotten Xie Shi yet. Judging by the days, her due date is probably approaching, and that's when the mansion will be bustling with activity.
Fourth Master did indeed remember what he said that morning.
The princess's complexion was indeed not good, much worse than when she was pregnant. She was still asleep when the fourth prince arrived.
The Fourth Prince first went to see the Second Prince and then asked the wet nurse some questions about the Second Prince's health.
Fourth Master also visited Second Princess in the East Courtyard yesterday.
It is said that children change every day, but these two were born one after the other, and the second prince, who was born first, looked much thinner and weaker than the second princess, who was born later.
After examining it for a while, the Fourth Prince could tell without the imperial physician needing to say anything more.
Even the Second Prince's crying was much weaker than the Second Prince's.
Fourth Master sat there, naturally feeling some heartache.
He knew all too well why the Second Prince was in this state.
The princess's health was not bad. In fact, because she had not been able to conceive for a long time, the Ulanara clan would send all kinds of tonics to the mansion during festivals.
And various folk remedies under the category of supplements, all of which are supposedly beneficial to women's health.
It can be said that the Fujin was in very good health before she met the baby.
However, the wife was not satisfied after becoming pregnant. She always kept the power of managing the household in her hands, and even when she was suffering from severe morning sickness, she refused to relinquish any of it.
Later, the Fourth Prince couldn't stand it anymore and took away some of the Fujin's management power. However, he didn't expect that the Fujin would fall back into her worry and anxiety, her appetite would become worse, and her health would deteriorate again.
During the New Year's celebration, the Fujin (principal wife) accidentally fell on her way to the Qingyuan (courtyard). When the Fourth Prince learned of this, his first order was to have the matter thoroughly investigated, and he also suspected that someone in the inner courtyard had tampered with it.
However, after investigating and searching, they found no clues. Finally, the imperial physician came and noticed that the princess was having some leg cramps. He also asked if she had asked the maids and nannies to massage her legs carefully.
The imperial physician had already put it very tactfully.
The Fourth Prince immediately understood the imperial physician's meaning after hearing this.
The Fourth Prince was so angry that he laughed instead. The Princess Consort had really brought this upon herself, insisting on being unwell when she was actually feeling unwell.
After the New Year, the Fourth Prince personally ordered that his wife rest and recuperate, and he even exempted everyone in the inner courtyard from paying their respects.
After several months of recuperation, the imperial physician finally said that the princess's health had improved somewhat, but her condition was still too poor, and she would still have a difficult time during childbirth.
The imperial physician also had the Fourth Prince prepare ginseng slices in advance.
Ultimately, it was all the fault of the princess's own actions.
When Yu Ru came to tell the Fourth Prince that the Princess Consort had woken up, he suppressed his emotions and went to see her.
Considering that his wife still needed to recover, the Fourth Prince, though still not smiling, still asked some caring questions.
The wife almost cried out loud during her postpartum confinement.
This childbirth was undoubtedly extremely difficult for Fujin.
Yu Ru hurriedly advised from the side, "Princess Consort, be careful not to hurt your eyes by crying. You can't cry now."
The Fourth Prince stopped talking, preferring to visit the Second Prince more.
After leaving the main courtyard, Fourth Master's face darkened.
The princess does look pitiful right now, but who should be blamed?
When the princess was first pregnant, the imperial physician said that she was in good health and the pregnancy was very stable.
"Go to the East Wing."
Fourth Master had not forgotten his promise to visit Li Chenjiao.
When Fourth Master arrived, Li Chenjiao had already eaten dinner. Too lazy to get out of bed, she stayed on the bed and embroidered little clothes for the little girl.
When the servants outside reported that the Fourth Master had come in, Li Chenjiao was embroidering a hidden ingot pattern with orange thread.
Next to it is the small bed that Li Chenjiao had Xiao Luzi make for the little girl when she was still pregnant.
The servants in the miscellaneous goods department were all skilled craftsmen.
When the crib arrived, the two maids and Xiao Luzi checked it over to make sure there wouldn't be any tiny thorns or anything that could prick the young master.
The little bed was covered with soft bedding, and even the mattress was embroidered by the two maids themselves. The small wooden board that was taller than the little girl was also carefully wrapped with silk cloth by the two maids, so that the little girl wouldn't get cold.
The wet nurse settled the little girl in her crib, and she was still quite energetic.
The wet nurse held up a small pendant that Li Chenjiao had embroidered before, which amused the little girl so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons.
One of the two maids was picking out embroidery thread for Li Chenjiao and occasionally handing it to her, while the other stood in front of the small bed watching carefully.
It's incredibly heartwarming.
