The princess was truly furious at this moment.
It's fine for Fourth Master to go to the estate on a day that isn't a holiday or festival, but why did he have to bring Li Shi along? Is he afraid that everyone in the manor won't know that Li Shi is favored?
The Fujin gritted her teeth, naturally recalling Li's retort to her during her morning greetings, as if she really thought Li couldn't understand the lively chatter.
vixen.
The Fujin suddenly regretted nodding in her heart when she chose Li Shi as her concubine when the Fourth Prince asked her to take a secondary Fujin as his wife.
If it's not Lady Li, then it will be Lady Wu, but that's not what the Princess Consort wants either.
However, the Fujin was still somewhat upset at the moment, feeling that Li was the vixen who had seduced her first, and she also thought of the deceased Xie, which made her feel even more indignant.
Both Granny Qian and Yu Ru tried to comfort her, but they both knew in their hearts that it was common knowledge that the woman in the East Courtyard was favored, and it was nothing surprising. Now that the Fourth Master was taking her out of the manor to the estate, what could others do but be envious?
But the Fujin (principal wife), she never used to care about these things, right? Ever since the woman in the East Courtyard became a concubine, half of the Fujin's attention has been focused on keeping an eye on her.
They seem to be watching him even more closely than they are watching Princess Wu.
The two could only advise that it was already mid-July, and in another six months, when spring came next year, there would be another triennial general election. When the new lady entered the mansion, the one in the East Courtyard would just be like the former Song family.
The Fujin was somewhat appeased, but then she remembered her old trick of inviting trouble and had someone inform everyone in the manor that Li Shi from the East Courtyard had gone to the estate with the Fourth Prince that day.
The Fujin waited all night, and by the next day, the man from the East Courtyard had returned to the mansion. The Fujin waited for another half day, but there was still no further movement from the back courtyard.
The people in the backyard had absolutely no idea that Consort Li from the East Courtyard had gone to the estate.
Yesterday after lunch, Madam Song received a prescription for nourishing and beautifying medicine from the imperial physician, delivered by Qiu Ci, the head maid of the East Courtyard. Madam Song first took it to the household physician for a check-up, and today she was waiting for the imperial physician to come and examine her eldest brother's pulse before showing him the prescription.
As for Li's matter, Song naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing it.
She had been to the estate and knew how good it was, but she knew even more about what she did while she lived there.
Moreover, the prescription had just been delivered to the East Courtyard. If Madam Song were to go to the East Courtyard to find Madam Li right afterward, she would be far too heartless.
Song was naturally jealous, but what good was jealousy? She might as well focus on getting better first.
Wu Shi never got up early without a reason. Her ability to establish herself in the Fourth Prince's mansion was not due to the Fourth Prince's favor, but rather the birth of the First Prince.
In other words, there was absolutely no need for the Wu family and the one in the East Courtyard to have a conflict.
However, given the current state of the woman in the East Courtyard, if she were to give birth to a prince based on her favor, that would truly be extraordinary.
Only when Wu thought of this did a sense of vigilance arise in her heart.
However, they still did not take any rash actions.
As for Bai Jia Shi, how stupid would she have to be to become the first to target the concubine? Instead of thinking about this, Bai Jia Shi should be thinking about how to make the Fourth Prince remember that there is such a person as her in this mansion.
Otherwise, when the new bride enters the household next year, she'll probably be even more inferior to her.
Currently, Danqing, who works here, goes to the kitchen to get her meals later than Xu Shi every day, making her the last person in the entire mansion to eat.
As for Madam Xu, although she has been the subject of much attention in the mansion lately, she is not an unintelligent person and has no reason to offend the one in the East Courtyard.
Xu still vividly remembered everything that happened when she went to the East Courtyard last time.
That guy in the East Wing is no pushover.
Moreover, there are other things that are currently troubling Xu.
The Third Prince has been born for over a month, but he rarely cries. Most of the time, he's like a wooden statue, staring at people with his big, bright eyes.
Xu felt uneasy seeing this and inexplicably thought of the deceased Xie.
However, what worries Xu is what will happen if the third prince becomes a taciturn person in the future.
No one in the entire backyard was willing to be the one to stick their neck out.
Li Chenjiao left the manor for a day, and when she returned to the East Courtyard, everything was as before, and the backyard was still peaceful.
Li Chenjiao naturally didn't bother to think about so much. When she woke up early in the morning, the Fourth Master was no longer at the estate. After having breakfast at the estate, Li Chenjiao took a carriage back to the manor.
After a bumpy journey, Li Chenjiao managed to get some sleep, but she was still very tired when she returned to the East Courtyard.
She took another nap, and when she woke up, she heard that Fulu from the front yard had come again, bringing a small basket of lychees and grapes.
Li Chenjiao ate it for lunch, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered something else.
"Whether there are bayberries at this time of year or not, they taste best when eaten chilled."
After Li Chenjiao spoke, Xiao Luzi went to the kitchen.
When Xiao Luzi came to reply during dinner, she shook her head, but Li Chenjiao didn't take it to heart, since it was just something she said casually anyway.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, someone from the front yard delivered a basket of bayberries. I don't know if Xiao Luzi asked the front yard or if the front yard knew about it.
Li Chenjiao didn't ask any questions. She just waited for Madam He to make a bowl of chilled bayberry soup and then used a small spoon to tease the Second Princess.
After the Second Princess opened her mouth, Li Chenjiao also opened her mouth, and finally put the small jade spoon away.
Going out to play is fun, soaking in hot springs is fun, but the most fun thing is still teasing the Second Princess in my own courtyard.
Li Chen was teasing the Second Princess when he suddenly remembered something.
After giving birth to the Second Princess, she recovered very well. After her confinement period, the Fourth Prince, considering her health, allowed her to have a double confinement period.
However, Li Chenjiao no longer has any pills to prevent pregnancy, as Qiu Hu destroyed all the remaining ones from last time.
Li Chenjiao is not worried about not getting pregnant at this time. In the past, she did not want to get pregnant too early because she did not want to be targeted or even persecuted by the main wife.
However, there is no need to have such concerns at the moment.
However, Li Chenjiao had already consulted the imperial physician, and according to the rules, it is not advisable for a woman to become pregnant again too soon after giving birth.
The women in the backyard have always considered it an honor to have more children, disregarding even their own health.
Li Chenjiao knew that her body had been well-preserved during her postpartum period, which was probably due to some inexplicable factors.
However, Li Chenjiao is not currently happy or hoping to conceive a pregnancy just because she is in good health.
The second princess is still young, and Li Chenjiao wants to spend more time with her.
Given the current state of affairs in the manor, as long as she isn't foolish enough to do something stupid in front of the Fourth Prince, it's unlikely she'll fall out of favor.
Furthermore, the Fourth Prince was not a heartless person; otherwise, given Song's attitude towards the eldest princess, he would have been confined to his quarters countless times.
Li Chenjiao held the Second Princess in her arms, thought for a long time, and finally sighed.
Who can predict when good fortune will come their way?
