Li Chenjiao did not get up to go see the Fourth Prince. Sure enough, after a while, the commotion in the other room subsided.
Fourth Master glanced at Li Chenjiao a few more times. Taking care of two children was obviously not an easy task for Li Chenjiao, but in Fourth Master's eyes, Li Chenjiao always seemed to be able to handle everything very well, which was what made Li Chenjiao different from others.
However, if Li Chenjiao knew what the Fourth Prince was thinking at this moment, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.
Sigh, Li Chenjiao was, after all, a concubine in the Fourth Prince's mansion. When she went out, she was never short of servants, even if she wasn't surrounded by attendants. And it goes without saying that she was always waited on in her own courtyard.
The servants below have their own duties to fulfill. For Li Chenjiao, all she needs to do is provide the necessary companionship and ensure that the children are not mistreated.
Therefore, Li Chenjiao herself was somewhat confused. When the second prince of the Fujin was taken to the front yard, the Fujin was not entirely willing, but she was not too unwilling either.
How would I respond if you suddenly prepared something like this?
This really puzzled Li Chenjiao.
However, no matter how much she couldn't understand, it didn't stop Li Chenjiao from focusing on her dinner. After finishing her dinner, Li Chenjiao patted her belly contentedly, and then looked at the Fourth Master.
"Hot water is ready in the small kitchen. Would you like to take a bath first, sir?"
Li Chenjiao wasn't quite sure whether Fourth Master would stay today.
However, the Fourth Prince clearly had no intention of staying: "The matter of the Second Prince has not been resolved yet. I will go and see the Second Princess and the Fourth Prince before returning."
Li Chenjiao nodded in understanding, and she also stood up: "This concubine will go with you, Master, to see the Second Princess and the others."
Fourth Master hummed in agreement. The two walked together, one tall and one short, and at least from behind, they looked very well-matched.
Li Chenjiao spoke up first: "I took the liberty of choosing Wanwan as the nickname for the Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince knew from a brief mention by Li Chenjiao that Wanwan was the nickname Li Chenjiao gave to the Fourth Prince.
He didn't say it was bad: "When the Fourth Prince is older, Father Emperor will bestow names upon the children."
The imperial grandsons all belong to the Hong generation.
Since the Emperor had not yet bestowed names upon the princes in the mansion, they were still addressed by their seniority...
Li Chenjiao knew that the princes in the mansion were still young and had not yet reached the age to be named by His Majesty. However, when His Majesty named the eldest princes in the mansion, Li Chenjiao estimated that the fourth prince would have to wait another two years, since the fourth prince was still older than the previous princes.
The Fourth Master suddenly remembered something halfway there.
Of the princes in the mansion, it seems that apart from the fourth prince who was only recently born, the other princes haven't yet been given nicknames...
When it comes to choosing nicknames for the children, Li Chenjiao always seems to be the one who puts the most effort into it...
Fourth Master was in a daze for two seconds, as if a long time ago, he had asked Li Chenjiao her maiden name.
After a moment, the Fourth Master moved his lips, as if silently revealing something, but the night wind came just in time and immediately dispersed the already very low voice.
Even Li Chenjiao, who was walking with Fourth Master, couldn't hear clearly.
Right now, Li Chenjiao is chattering away about how happy the two little girls, the Second Princess and the First Princess, are every day while the Fourth Prince is away from the mansion.
Fourth Master and Li Chenjiao went to see Second Princess first. As they stepped into the room, Fourth Master suddenly reached out and took Li Chenjiao's hand with the help of his wide sleeve.
Li Chenjiao was stunned for two seconds, and her wrist trembled. However, she did not move around. Instead, she turned around and looked at Fourth Master with some confusion.
The Fourth Master seemed to cough lightly twice: "Walk properly."
Li Chenjiao let out an "Ah," feeling that Fourth Master was talking about something else. She chuckled softly and said "okay" in accordance with Fourth Master's words, but still did not break free from Fourth Master's hand.
The two of them walked hand in hand into the second princess's room. The little girl had just been fed egg custard by Madam Chen and was happily playing on the rocking horse.
Seeing Li Chenjiao and the Fourth Master enter together, the little girl's eyes lit up and she sweetly said, "Mother...Father."
The little girl's pronunciation wasn't very clear yet.
After the Fourth Prince had seen the Fourth Prince, it was already very late when he left the East Courtyard. Li Chenjiao personally carried a lantern and escorted the Fourth Prince to the gate of the East Courtyard. The Fourth Prince turned around and glanced at her before quickly disappearing into the light and shadow.
Li Chenjiao stood there for a while, and a cool breeze made her face feel cool.
"Does it look like it's going to rain?" She looked up at the sky.
Lin Mama stood to the side and said first, "Xiao Luzi has gone to inquire about the news. If the master has returned to the front courtyard, he will come back to report soon."
Li Chenjiao didn't have Xiao Luzi keep an eye on where Fourth Master went, but only had him keep a close eye on whether Fourth Master returned to the front yard.
If he didn't return to the front yard, then it's easy to guess where Fourth Master will go tonight.
Li Chenjiao wasn't particularly curious about Fourth Master's whereabouts, but Xiao Luzi was really adept at this. He always managed to do things as smoothly as an eel, finding out all the information without leaving a trace.
Xiao Luzi returned as the light rain began to fall outside, but Fourth Master did not return to the front yard.
Ginger tea had already been prepared in the small kitchen, and Li Chenjiao first asked Xiao Luzi to go downstairs and drink some ginger tea to warm up.
She was holding a bowl of ginger tea in her hands right now.
Since the Fourth Prince did not return to the front courtyard, then he must have gone to the main courtyard to visit his wife.
Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was howling and pounding against the windows, Li Chenjiao silently took a sip of ginger tea and sighed, "The wind is so strong tonight. Make sure to close the windows tightly. You all need to be careful to sleep well tonight. With this strong wind and heavy rain, I don't know if you'll be able to get any rest."
Qiu Hu had already stepped forward and tightened the window. She smiled kindly and said, "Master will surely be able to sleep peacefully."
Li Chenjiao looked at her and said ambiguously, "I hope so."
