Li Chenjiao's handwriting today seemed sharper than usual; even her neat regular script seemed to have a powerful, penetrating quality.
It was a passage that was neither too long nor too short.
"Thank you for the lychees, Master Xie. But are these lychees for me or for the Second Princess? I dare not eat them."
Fourth Master didn't believe that Fulu hadn't mentioned the items were for her when he delivered them to the East Courtyard.
Fearing that Li Chenjiao might be greedy, the lychees sent to the East Courtyard were delivered with a reduced quantity by the Fourth Master.
That portion was only enough for Li Chenjiao to eat.
However, the words in Li Chenjiao's letter were clearly meant to convey a deeper meaning.
Fourth Master put down the letter in his hand, and for a moment he was both amused and exasperated.
How could he not realize that Li Chenjiao was using the lychee as a pretext to ask him about the Second Princess's birthday?
Li Chenjiao is becoming increasingly bold; she dares to say and write anything.
However, the Fourth Prince also heard from his mother in the palace that she was satisfied with Li Chenjiao. When he received the message at noon, he felt an indescribable sense of pride.
Fourth Master knew Li Chenjiao's personality.
Even after reading Li Chenjiao's letter, Fourth Master didn't feel much displeasure.
He subconsciously tried to defend Li Chenjiao, who was complaining on behalf of the Second Princess.
Fourth Master lowered his eyes, put the letter away, and returned it to the envelope.
"Su Peisheng." Fourth Master carefully put the letter under the soft pillow before calling out to Su Peisheng outside.
Su Peisheng came in quickly.
"Master?"
Fourth Master leaned back against the soft pillows: "Is everything I asked you to arrange properly?"
Su Peisheng hurriedly replied, "It was all arranged long ago. The Fourteenth Prince had nothing to do after noon that day, so I personally took Your Highness's token to invite the Fourteenth Prince out of the palace."
The Fourth Prince gave a soft "hmm," and a moment later he suddenly got up from the bed.
Su Peisheng showed no surprise whatsoever.
Fourth Master got off the bed and waved to Su Peisheng to prepare pen and ink.
This means that we should write a reply to Master Li.
Fourth Master wrote even faster, and soon he put down his pen.
"You personally deliver it to your mistress, and also send some more lychees from the ice cellar. Tell your mistress, Li, not to eat too many."
Su Peisheng felt a pang of unease upon hearing this, but he quickly agreed, carefully took the letter, and left.
When the letter was delivered to the East Courtyard, Li Chenjiao had already washed up and was preparing to rest. Ice had already been put into use in the East Courtyard.
The night seemed even hotter. After washing up, Li Chenjiao heard the Fourth Prince crying in the other room. The Fourth Prince hadn't been sleeping well for the past two days. As the weather got hotter, the children were also suffering.
It wasn't easy for the wet nurses who took care of the children either. They were afraid of freezing the princes and princesses, but they were also afraid of making the children feel stuffy if they didn't use ice.
When Li Chenjiao arrived at the Fourth Prince's courtyard, Aman was also there, the little girl standing on an embroidered stool by the bed.
The embroidered stool that was just right for Li Chenjiao was far too big for the little girl; two little girls could stand on it without any problem.
With Chen and Zhong present, Li Chenjiao didn't show any displeasure when she came in.
The little girl stood by the bed, unaware of her mother's arrival, and kept fanning the Fourth Prince's bedside with her chubby little hands.
Li Chenjiao's gaze softened further. She slowed her pace and took the round fan from Qiu Hu's hand beside her.

She walked behind the Second Princess, squatted down without making a sound, and gently raised her wrist, sending a breeze through the fan. She controlled the force, and the breeze was gentle.
The second princess exclaimed "Ah!" and turned around with her eyes curving into crescents.
"Mother!" the little girl whispered, but her eyes had already lit up.
The fourth prince finally stopped crying, and the little girl quickly lowered her voice.
Li Chenjiao touched the little girl's hair, smoothed it, and continued to slowly fan her.
The little girl turned around and slowly continued to fan the Fourth Prince.
Only after the little girl fell asleep did Li Chenjiao have time to read the reply written by the Fourth Master.
Su Peisheng had already returned to the front yard, since the front yard couldn't be without someone to serve him.
As Li Chenjiao opened the envelope, she heard Qiu Hu's reply. She was stunned for two seconds, and then naturally assumed that the Fourth Master had sent lychees again as compensation for the Second Princess.
It seems that Fourth Master really forgot Ah Man's birthday. This is why he sent lychees again, which means that Fourth Master wants to make it up to Ah Man.
However, Fourth Master told her not to be greedy, so the lychees were for her?
Is Li Chenjiao unusually confused?
What does Fourth Master mean by this?
Li Chenjiao opened the envelope with a belly full of doubts.
Fourth Master's writing was much more concise than hers, containing only two words in a single letter.
"All of them"
Do you have them all? What does "do you have them all" mean?
Li Chenjiao was even more confused now.
