It would be better to take advantage of the past relationship between my princess and the Fourth Prince and directly express my feelings to him. That might be better than beating around the bush.
Moreover, although the Fourth Prince was somewhat displeased with his own princess's behavior towards the eldest princess, his own princess had recently learned her lesson, and the past affection between them was indeed undeniable.
As for Wu Gege, she had no intention of getting involved at this moment.
She already had the eldest son of the mansion by her side, and she and Madam Xie had never had a close relationship before, so there was really no need for her to get involved in this matter, and she might even anger the Fourth Prince.
Before accompanying the eldest prince to rest, she did not forget to remind him: "After a few days, keep the courtyard gates tightly closed, and do not interfere with what others say."
Wu knew exactly what she wanted, and most of the time she would never show up unless she got what she wanted.
In Wu Shi’s mind, the principle of “no profit, no action” was absolutely etched into her heart. She would never do anything without gain or certainty.
Before going to sleep, Wu instructed her trusted confidante: "The eldest prince can only crawl right now—starting tomorrow, go and get some primers, and I will read them to him every day."
Wu's family naturally had some books, but most of them were Buddhist scriptures and rules for women, which were not suitable for the eldest prince's education.
Elsewhere, Bai Jia Shi had indeed become much more well-behaved after her confinement was lifted. However, with the incident involving Xie Shi and the Third Prince happening in the manor, she couldn't help but feel somewhat unsettled.
Bai Jia was not stupid. She entered the mansion at the same time as Li, and she was not late in entering. During her confinement, she could hear some rumors about various parts of the mansion and had some understanding of the people in the back courtyard.
Consort Li, who was considered by everyone to be the most likely to adopt the Third Prince, was actually the least likely in her eyes.
Even her personal maid, Danqing, was still somewhat puzzled: "The concubine has always been favored, and this time she only gave birth to the second princess. It's possible that the Fourth Prince has already set his sights on her—"
Bai Jia's face showed a faint smile, but even she couldn't quite explain it: "I just feel that Consort Li is that kind of person, and she doesn't want to raise someone else's children."
However, Bai Jia couldn't help but think that perhaps it was because Li knew that the Fourth Prince had been raised by Empress Xiaoyi for several years and might have some reservations about adopted sons, which was why she wouldn't adopt the Third Prince.
However, Bai Jiashi could not help but compete for it. She would naturally treat the Third Prince well, even more so than Consort Wu of the Southern Courtyard.
That might even change the Fourth Master's opinion.
Bai Jia gritted her teeth: "Tomorrow I'll take some silver to the kitchen and ask them to make a bowl of black chicken soup. I'll personally go to the front yard to see Fourth Master."
People's hearts are in turmoil; that perfectly describes tonight.
