Hearing Su Peisheng's hesitant tone, Fourth Master raised an eyebrow: "You said you wanted to make one for me too?"
Su Peisheng nodded silently.
The Fourth Prince snorted, "It must have been your mistress Li who instigated this. It's getting cold these days. If there aren't enough flowers in the garden, have someone bring some fresh ones from the Imperial Household Department and send them to your mistress Li. Do you remember that Mother bestowed two boxes of silk flowers as a gift during the Golden Festival?"
Su Peisheng said, "It was obtained by Princess Wenxian from the Empress Dowager, and the princess then gave it all to the Empress Dowager."
As is customary, these were all given directly to the Fujin by Consort De. However, in the past year or two, if the Consort De received anything new, the Fujin and the Fourth Prince would each receive half. This time, two boxes of silk flowers were sent to the Fourth Prince intact.
It is clear that the matter of the eldest prince not only touched the fourth prince's sore spot, but also crossed the line of the Empress Dowager De in the palace.
The Fourth Prince raised his hand: "Send it to the First Princess tomorrow."
Fourth Prince hadn't forgotten that the eldest princess couldn't be near flowers. Since he had sent flowers for the second princess to make brocades, he wouldn't leave out the eldest princess's as well.
"Granny Zhong said that the eldest princess loves to read Tang poems. Tomorrow, the master will pick out some poems and you can send them to the eldest princess together."
The flowers were sent because the Second Princess loves them, so the First Princess couldn't be left out.
However, the Fourth Prince also kept in mind what the eldest princess liked. He inquired about the interests of all the children every day and kept them in mind.
"Send some leisure books and travelogues to your Master Li as well."
The Fourth Prince could remember all the children's preferences, but among the women in the inner courtyard, the only one he remembered was Master Li of the East Courtyard.
Su Peisheng wrote it all down, and only asked at the end, "What about the Fujin (princess's wife)..."
Fourth Master snorted coldly.
Alright, Su Peisheng understands. Then let's wait and see.
