When Su Peisheng looked up again, he was immediately struck by the two large characters above his head, which sent a chill down his spine.
Main courtyard.
When the Fourth Prince said in Yonghe Palace that he wanted to talk things out with his wife, it wasn't just polite talk; it was what he truly thought at that moment.
Su Peisheng was standing not far away at that time, and most of what was said reached his ears.
No wonder he's so panicked right now.
Fourth Master did not ask Su Peisheng to summon him and went straight into the main courtyard.
The maids and servants under the eaves were all performing their duties. A sharp-eyed eunuch sweeping snow at the door spotted the Fourth Master and quickly bowed.
Fourth Master didn't even glance at him; it was Su Peisheng who, as he walked by, flicked his whisk to signal him to get up.
The Fourth Prince didn't go to see the Second Prince first; instead, he went straight into the Second Prince's side room and then into the Fujin's inner room.
The Princess Consort had little appetite today, so the meal hadn't been served yet. She was sitting on the soft couch looking at the account books, and she looked rather listless.
Hearing the commotion, Yu Ru quickly helped the Fujin up.
The princess consort respectfully curtsied.
This time, the wife did not rush to wake him. After the Fourth Prince sat down with an air of authority, the wife had some doubts in her heart, but she did not dare to raise her head.
After a moment, the princess still swayed unsteadily.
Fourth Master seemed to pause for two seconds before saying, "Get up."
Even the most foolish woman would know that the Fourth Prince was unhappy. She nervously pursed her lips as she got up, but dared not utter a sound.
The majesty of the Fujin in managing the inner quarters had long since vanished in front of the Fourth Prince, whose cold demeanor was truly intimidating.
After the Princess Consort took her seat, the Fourth Prince did not rush to speak. This silence only made the Princess Consort more uneasy.
The princess wanted to say something, but the silence that followed made her extremely uneasy.
She dared not utter a sound and could only rack her brains trying to figure out why the Fourth Master had come.
At this moment, the Fourth Master did not give her a chance to think.
"I heard today that you, my lady, wish to find a new wife for me. In that case, for your sake, I will grant her the title of concubine. What do you think, my lady?"
The Fourth Master's voice was cold when he said this, but he couldn't suppress his anger.
The Fujin trembled slightly when she heard half of it. The words "Second Fujin" were like a thunderclap in her ears, and she couldn't hear anything else for a moment.
After a long while, the Fujin (principal wife) seemed to come to her senses, but when she looked up, she met the Fourth Prince's cold gaze.
The princess's heart was instantly pierced.
She suddenly felt extremely wronged. As the wife of the emperor, was she not even allowed to add another person to the inner courtyard?
Besides, she... she was thinking of Fourth Master's sake. Wouldn't it be better for Fourth Master to have more children if one more person entered the manor?
The princess felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. She bit her lip, and a nameless fire rose in her heart. Suddenly, she laughed.
"If Your Highness likes it, a concubine is certainly acceptable."
The Fourth Prince had already looked away, but upon hearing his wife's words, he looked at her again, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
Fourth Master remained silent, a heavy, brooding voice rising in his throat: "Does she even deserve it?"
Although the Fourth Prince was speaking about Xianxin, whom he had not yet met, the Fujin (wife of the Prince) was always suspicious and felt that he was indirectly referring to her.
She felt as if she had fallen into an icy pool in the garden, her whole body turning cold: "Your Majesty, perhaps I had selfish motives, but... I didn't mean any harm... Why..."
The princess bit her lip tightly, leaving a tooth mark on her lower lip.
Fourth Master refused to look at her; his eyes were clouded with dark gloom, and the veins on his neck stood out. He wouldn't say another word.
The princess looked up, as if she had found a way to justify herself, but her back was still slightly hunched, revealing her lack of confidence.
The Fourth Prince waved his wide sleeves and said, "I have already informed Mother that Ulanara will not be coming to the mansion. Consort, please give up this idea. In the future, if Consort has anything to do, you don't need to go to the palace to disturb Mother's peace. Just come and report to me."
The Fourth Prince took the matter upon himself, not wanting his wife to be implicated in his mother's affairs.
He didn't want to stay any longer, and this time he didn't even go to see the Second Prince, and went straight out of the main courtyard.
Fourth Master was holding a grudge, so his first words in the main courtyard were spoken in anger.
The Fujin (principal wife) wanted him to favor Lady Liu, and he gave her that face. But now? All sorts of people are being sent to his harem…
Then there's the matter of the Fujin (wife) going to see the Emother. Last time, the Fujin also went to see the Emother, saying that there weren't many people serving in the back courtyard...
At that time, Fourth Master only turned a blind eye.
Along the way, the Princess Consort arranged for Liu to come to the Emperor's southern tour... At that time, the Fourth Prince did not take the Princess Consort's presumptuous decision to heart.
Doesn't Fourth Master feel angry at all?
In the eyes of his wife, was he really such a lustful person? They had already arrived in Suzhou, and his wife had eagerly sent Liu Shi over. What kind of person did he become?
This is why the Fourth Prince didn't even glance at Lady Liu during his southern tour.
The Fourth Prince had been watching all of the Fujin's actions, and he was too lazy to even think about the many little tricks she had up her sleeve.
However, one cannot indulge people. If he does not warn his wife today, who knows what she might do on her own in the future.
As Fourth Master left the main courtyard, the cold wind blew across his face, but the anger in his heart did not dissipate.
Su Peisheng, standing to the side, "dared to speak up: "The concubine has only just ordered dinner... Your Highness hasn't had dinner yet."
Fourth Master glanced at him, his eyes filled with a chilling aura, as if a storm was about to break: "So now you're acting like you're in charge of me?"
