However, the fact that the Fourth Prince did not react does not mean that he did not take the matter to heart.
Anyone who has worked through most of the night only to have their credit blatantly stolen would be unhappy.
Having not slept well all night, Fourth Master returned to the manor in the wind and snow, but did not go to the front yard. Instead, he went straight to the back yard and naturally entered the east yard.
When the Fourth Prince left the palace, it was still dark, and when he returned to his residence, it was only early morning.
At this moment, Li Chenjiao had not yet gotten up.
When the Fourth Prince went to bed, Li Chenjiao was still fast asleep. The Fourth Prince did not change his sleeping clothes and went to bed wearing his undergarments.
The brocade quilt was warm, and when the Fourth Prince got into bed, he even touched a hot water bottle, which was still warm.
Of course, the girl changed it just fifteen minutes ago.
The sound of Fourth Master lying down did not disturb Li Chenjiao at all. Her sleeping face remained peaceful, only her lips moved slightly, as if she was dreaming about something again.
The Fourth Master was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open, but surrounded by warmth, he still sighed and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The fatigue of the night seemed to finally vanish at this moment.
In the east courtyard, Qiu Ci, who was on duty today, quietly went into the outer room to change the charcoal fire.
Xiao Luzi led Su Peisheng into the side room to drink hot tea, but he didn't ask any other questions.
Well, Granny Lin already told him yesterday, so he already knew what was going on and naturally didn't have anything to ask.
His actions earned him higher regard from Su Peisheng.
Sipping his hot tea, Su Peisheng said, "This job is good for you."
Xiao Luzi exclaimed "Oh!" and then laughed, "Isn't this the right master we've chosen?"
Su Peisheng nodded upon hearing this, but after a long while, he shook his head.
When Wang Jinzhong, the head eunuch of the main courtyard, left the Imperial Household Department, didn't he also think he had chosen the right master? I heard he spent a lot of money and connections to become a senior eunuch in the main courtyard, but now it seems he's not as good as...
Su Peisheng lowered his head and took another sip of hot tea.
His apprentice, standing nearby, also got a sip of hot tea.
The fate of people is truly unpredictable.
——
Inside the main courtyard, Wang Jinzhong certainly didn't have the good days of drinking hot tea. He had just returned after inquiring about the news from outside, and when he reported back to the Fujin that he hadn't received a reward, he was instead met with a severe scolding.
However, he couldn't show any emotion and had to bow his back and listen to his wife's lecture.
After a long while, the princess waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
"Is Li really that good? As soon as Master returned to the manor, he went to her place."
Before leaving, Wang Jinzhong heard the Fujin's words and paused for two seconds.
