Parents worry about not having enough love, or about their children not being good enough, or about their children not being good enough. Li Chenjiao, always carefree, knew that since the Fourth Master wasn't coming, the mother and daughter played around in bed and slept soundly.
The next day, Li Chenjiao woke up to find her face covered in saliva, which disgusted the clean-loving Li Chenjiao.
The mother and daughter sat facing each other. Li Chenjiao talked to the second princess for a while, not knowing if the little girl understood. The little girl nodded obediently, which made Li Chenjiao very happy.
He hugged the little girl and smeared her face with his drool.
The little girl thought that Li Chenjiao, her mother, was playing with her, and her laughter almost echoed throughout the entire east courtyard, which made the maids who came in to help Li Chenjiao wash up tremble with fear.
"My lady is pregnant right now, so we should be very careful in everything we do," Qiu Hu couldn't help but mutter.
Li Chenjiao and the little girl were entangled together, but after hearing Qiu Hu's words, she remembered something else.
She forgot to tell the little girl about her good fortune.
Whether or not the little girl can understand, it is still necessary to tell her that she has an extra brother, which is an important matter.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenjiao's expression indeed turned serious, and she faced Aman.
"Yes. Ah Man, feel it. Is Mother's belly bigger than Ah Man's little belly?
Li Chenjiao spoke to the little girl gently, and even let the little girl touch her belly. The little girl was very bold and directly moved close to Li Chenjiao's belly.
Qiu Hu almost cried out in surprise, but Granny Chen quickly grabbed her and whispered, "Don't worry, Miss."
The second princess was raised very well. When she looked up at people, it was a joy to behold. Although the little girl was bold, she was also exceptionally sensible.
At this moment, although she took the initiative to approach, she stopped after a certain distance.
The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity, but she only slowly reached out her hand under Li Chenjiao's guidance.
The little girl, who was nearly a year and a half old, was still a bit confused, but she seemed to understand something. She tilted her head and then just looked at Li Chen and smiled sweetly.
Li Chenjiao patted the little girl's head, sighed, and then helped the little girl lie back down.
Qiu Hu sighed silently, but still withdrew.
With the main wife of the emperor currently overwhelmed with her own affairs, she has no time to attend to her master's affairs. Consort Wu was eager to seize power, but she heard that the master had given his word and would not give her the opportunity.
While Niohuru Gege was still under house arrest, Liu Gege frequently went to the main courtyard, but the main wife had no time to pay attention to her.
It's not the first or fifteenth of the month, so there's no need to go to the main courtyard to pay respects to the Princess Consort. The mistress is in her own courtyard; should a servant overstep his bounds and speak on her behalf?
That makes absolutely no sense.
When Qiu Hu came out with Chen Mama carrying the copper basin, Lin Mama was outside tending to the flowers and plants with Lü Lan. Upon seeing this, she nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Green Orchid, on the other hand, kept rolling her eyes, and who knows what kind of wicked thoughts she was having.
Qiu Hu frowned, and waited until his master woke up again for lunch before reporting to him.
Li Chenjiao had just vomited once, and her face was a little pale. Qiu Hu gave her some mint water to rinse her mouth, and then some honey water to moisten her throat before she slowly spoke.
"While the main courtyard is too busy to spare any time right now, let's find an excuse to deal with her. She only sent a few insignificant messages, so there's no need to punish her too harshly. Send her to the estate. Have Xiao Luzi tell Fu Lu, who's by Fourth Master's side, about this."
Qiu Hu nodded: "This servant understands."
Li Chenjiao wanted the East Courtyard to be as secure as an iron barrel. The past is the past, but now that she could have peace and quiet, why not?
"Let's wait until the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, when the Princess Consort enters the palace, and then we'll decide what to do with her."
That was the busiest day for the Fujin (princess).
By not killing Lülan completely and sending her back to the Imperial Household Department, Li Chenjiao showed considerable mercy and leniency.
The Fujin has indeed been very busy lately, with the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, the Second Prince's recurring illness, and the funeral arrangements for her father in the mansion all requiring her attention.
She really didn't have that much time to deal with Li Chenjiao in the East Courtyard.
She would only ask a few quick questions about where the Fourth Master went to the backyard each day.
The Fourth Prince has been quite busy at the Ministry of Revenue lately. Alas, the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration is one thing, after all, it's the Imperial Household Department's business, but as a prince, the Fourth Prince can't afford to be indifferent.
Then there's this year's tax revenue, and the Emperor's upcoming inspection of the Yongding River; all of these will keep the Ministry of Revenue busy for a while.
The Fourth Prince stayed at the Ministry of Revenue for two consecutive nights. Later, he heard from Su Peisheng that Dai Duo had gone to the capital and secretly arranged for him to stay in the suburbs of the capital. However, he did not see Dai Duo.
Being busy is one thing, but the Fourth Prince also has his own considerations.
The Fourth Master couldn't care less about the backyard, but every two days he would instruct Su Peisheng to go to the east courtyard to inquire about Li Chenjiao's health.
Fourth Master would also have Su Peisheng take a look at the children in the manor.
However, the Fourth Master himself was never free to go into the backyard.
Madam Song was very thoughtful. As she calculated, she realized that by October 28th, the Fourth Master would not have entered the backyard for another half month.
The last time I went into the backyard was on the night of the Golden Festival when I came to visit the eldest princess.
If Madam Song hadn't known Fourth Master's temperament, she would have suspected that he had been bewitched by a woman outside.
All the busy work finally came to an end on October 28th when Fei Yanggu was buried.
Li Chenjiao is about to turn six months pregnant.
