Ultimately, this may well be partly due to the indulgence of Prince Zhi.
The unrest in the backyard was definitely not a good reputation for Prince Zhi.
Compared to the Fourth Master, who doesn't want to see those two girls, he has plenty of ways to do so; his swift and decisive methods will always be effective.
So how much of the chaos and disorder in Prince Zhi's backyard was actually instigated and tolerated by Prince Zhi himself?
After all, when the late First Princess was alive, none of these kinds of troubles ever occurred...
Prince Zhi probably still harbored some dissatisfaction.
The dissatisfaction with the second wife, the dissatisfaction with the successive new concubines in the harem, ultimately boils down to... the dissatisfaction with the Emperor, the father who made all the decisions.
It's impossible that His Majesty hasn't heard a thing. Of all his sons, the one he's most concerned about this time is the Prince Zhi's backyard.
The Emperor knew about it, but he didn't seem to have made any statement.
It's as if they know nothing about these trivial matters.
This caused great distress to everyone living around Prince Zhi. Li Chenjiao was constantly bothered by the noise, and there were frequent sounds of pots and pans being smashed.
She goes to bed early and wakes up late, but coincidentally, the busiest time is right in front of her when she's sound asleep.
But if even the Emperor doesn't care, how can she possibly interfere?
She's really bold.
She could only hope that this turmoil would end soon.
It's nothing more than Prince Zhi wanting to challenge His Majesty, right? No, it doesn't even qualify as a challenge; at most, it's just Prince Zhi and His Majesty having a tiff...
However, you can't fight city hall.
Li Chenjiao was waiting to see how the Emperor would handle the situation, but it was better to deal with it sooner rather than later...
However... Prince Zhi's outburst has worn down His Majesty's patience, and the initial pity for his grief over the loss of his wife will likely diminish as well...
After watching the spectacle for several days, Li Chenjiao couldn't say whether Prince Zhi was infatuated or just stupid.
If she's truly so devoted... this whole commotion might just make His Majesty even more disgusted with his late First Consort.
If you're talking about being stupid, then you really are stupid.
This is a method that hurts the enemy a thousand while harming yourself eight hundred. Oh, but it probably won't do His Majesty any harm at all.
Li Chenjiao just hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
These past few days, Fourth Master has been busy with social engagements and hasn't ventured into the backyard.
However, there was another reason: because of the turmoil in the Prince Zhi's backyard, the Fourth Prince did not want his own backyard to be too conspicuous.
The Fourth Master on both sides didn't used to go into the backyard very often.
It's not a problem if you don't go into the backyard for a few days occasionally.
That's what they say... but Fourth Master hasn't been feeling too happy these past few days, since he had originally planned to go fishing with Li Chenjiao.
After fishing at the East Palace that day, the Fourth Prince seemed to have discovered some kind of fun, so naturally he wouldn't bring his female relatives to the East Palace.
After returning from the Eastern Palace that day, the Fourth Prince found another secluded spot where he could fish.
Now it's going to be delayed again.
Li Chenjiao was unaware that Fourth Master was planning to take her fishing. If she had known, she probably would have just indulged in the temptation.
Sweet and sour fish, steamed fish, braised fish... paired with plump crabs...
Even if she didn't know she was going fishing, it would still be enough to make Li Chenjiao crave fresh river delicacies.
After all, the palace was located by the water, and with so many nobles accompanying them, they always needed some fresh river delicacies every day.
By the time the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the farce in the backyard of the Prince of Zhi had been going on for several days...
This has been going on for far too long.
On August 13th, Li Chenjiao finally received a reply from the mansion.
Not only did Li Chenjiao receive a reply from the manor, but the Fourth Prince also received a reply from the capital. It was from Consort De and his wife; only these two people received a reply.
Li Chenjiao has the Second Princess's servants here, as well as Granny Lin's servants and the Second Princess's wet nurse.
Li Chenjiao found a time when things weren't so chaotic before she took the opportunity to read the letter.
The little girl's handwriting has indeed improved, but there are still a few characters that are written in a mess, and Li Chenjiao can barely make out what they are.
With the weather getting hot, the children only go to school in the front yard every other day. It's been a year since the little girls started school.
The young girl wrote quite a bit, mostly describing what happened during the days Li Chenjiao was away from the manor...
Alright, Li Chenjiao finally understood. The little girl was living a much more comfortable life in the manor than she was. Even without her as her mother, the little girl was quite happy every day.
Li Chenjiao finally felt relieved.
Lin Mama mainly talked about the important things that had happened in the backyard recently, which was nothing more than Song Gege and Wu Gege arguing when they paid their respects on the first day of the lunar month.
The Princess Consort was also worried about the Second Prince's health. With the weather getting hot, the Second Prince's body seemed unable to withstand it... He even missed his school days. This made the First Prince seem even more intelligent.
That's about it; it's pretty much the same as when Li Chenjiao left the mansion.
Chen wrote quite a few letters, and from her perspective as an observer, she wrote clearly about everything around the Second Princess.
Li Chenjiao paused for a moment after reading the last part.
The familiar, childish handwriting belongs to the Second Princess.
The little girl wrote a line of characters very neatly.
"I miss... Mother..."
Li Chenjiao's heart softened instantly, and as she held the letter, she thought more of Aman, who was far away in the mansion.
Before she could grieve too much, a loud noise from something falling ahead startled Li Chenjiao so much that she almost dropped the letter in her hand.
Well, here we go again.
Li Chenjiao remained unmoved, or rather, she wanted to move but couldn't, but finally someone couldn't sit still any longer.
It was none other than the Little Tyrant, the Fourteenth Prince.
Oh dear, Li Chenjiao only read the letter at noon. The commotion that started a while ago seems to have subsided.
Li Chenjiao was wondering what was going on when she suddenly heard the sound of a whip. She almost thought it was her imagination.
However, the sounds coming from ahead completely drowned out the sound of the whip...
Li Chenjiao could no longer hear anything.
It wasn't until things calmed down that we learned it was because the Fourteenth Prince couldn't take it anymore and took action.
He only brought a nanny with him, who was said to be a teacher of etiquette in the palace. After causing a disturbance in the Prince Zhi's harem, the Fourteenth Prince abandoned the nanny to teach etiquette.
Furthermore, the Fourteenth Prince went to find the Prince Zhi again after leaving the Prince Zhi's courtyard.
