These are all different from the desolation and solemnity of the main courtyard.
From the moment Fourth Master stepped into the East Courtyard, and from the moment he saw Frozen Pear dozing with its tail drooping at the entrance, his mood unconsciously improved.
"Is this guy fully recovered?"
Fourth Master still remembers the incident last year when Dongli was bitten while protecting its master.
Dongsheng bowed and replied, "Replying to Your Highness, with Your Highness and Consort's care, Dongli naturally recovered faster and is already fully recovered."
Fourth Master grunted in agreement, and as he walked further in, he saw that Shizi had grown considerably fatter and was now lying on a small round stool under the eaves.
In May, because Li Chenjiao was in confinement after childbirth, the ice chest had not yet been used. Since this guy was afraid of the heat, the two maids specially placed a small round stool outside for Shizi.
In the spring, while Li Chenjiao was still pregnant, the transplanted flowers and trees grew to maturity, and the yard outside was full of thriving growth.
The sounds of Li Chenjiao and the maids laughing and talking could be heard coming from inside.
These are all different from those in the main courtyard.
The Fourth Prince did not allow Su Peisheng to announce the arrival. Dongsheng and Xiaoluzi outside understood and remained silent. However, the wet nurses, who had not been in the East Courtyard for long, naturally rushed to pay their respects to the Fourth Prince.
The wet nurses' greetings still reached the masters and servants inside.
When Fourth Master entered, Li Chenjiao hadn't put down her needlework yet. She sat by the bed and called out with a smile, "Master is back?"
Every time Li Chenjiao was called by the Fourth Prince, it seemed so natural and taken for granted. If Li Chenjiao didn't say it one day, the Fourth Prince would probably feel uncomfortable.
Fourth Master didn't even need to say much to sit comfortably on the small couch and ask about other things.
"This little couch isn't good. I'll have the sewing room come and measure it tomorrow to make some blankets."
Li Chenjiao doesn't like lying on the bed. Compared to lying on the bed, Li Chenjiao actually prefers sitting in front of the small couch with a flower window.
Li Chenjiao didn't stop what she was doing, and at the same time, she couldn't help but complain: "In May, if you really covered the sky with blankets, wouldn't you be tired?"
Heaven knows how hot Li Chenjiao is today.
Fourth Master frowned. He remembered that there were still a few bolts of fabric in the storeroom that were as smooth as silk and as soft as clouds. They would be the best material to make undergarments for summer.
At this moment, Fourth Master had the absurd idea of using it as a cushion for Li Chenjiao, which turned out to be quite good.
This would naturally have seemed somewhat extravagant to the Fourth Master in the past.
But now, he felt it was perfectly reasonable to use it on Li Chenjiao.
Fourth Master felt that he had been so busy lately that he was completely out of his mind.
However—those things are just sitting in the storeroom anyway, so he just had them delivered to Li Chenjiao. As for how Li uses them, that's up to Li Chenjiao.
Li Chenjiao is unaware of this yet.
The Second Princess hadn't fallen asleep yet, so Li Chenjiao asked the Fourth Master to go to the small bedside to check on her.
The two maids who were originally serving on the side exchanged glances, then secretly observed their master's expression, and tactfully withdrew.
The Fourth Prince noticed and turned to look at Li Chenjiao: "If they all leave, who will serve the Second Princess?"
Li Chenjiao got tired after embroidering for a while, so she put the needle away and returned it to the bamboo basket: "Isn't Fourth Master here?"
Fourth Master laughed, whether out of anger or amusement, it was hard to tell: "Where is your servant?"
Upon hearing the voice, Li Chenjiao said, "How dare I order you around, Master? Granny Chen, come in quickly and see the Second Princess."
After she finished speaking, she said to the Fourth Prince, "Please don't take offense, Your Highness. The Second Princess is probably going to get sleepy in a little while, so I had someone check on her."
When the two maids left, Li Chenjiao exchanged glances with them and thought they understood her meaning.
After waiting for a while and not seeing Granny Chen come in, Li Chenjiao knew that the two maids probably didn't understand what she meant.
After all, they're not truly soulmates; how can one possibly understand what the other is thinking just by glancing at them?
It was because two maids had served Li Chenjiao for a long time that they were able to understand the meaning behind Li Chenjiao's eyes.
The two maids were probably not used to the Second Princess's presence yet. After all, sometimes Li Chenjiao would forget the Second Princess was even there if she didn't hear her crying.
Li Chenjiao was still feeling a little dazed.
It seems I need to keep a closer eye on the Second Princess from now on, and play with her whenever I want.
