On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Chenjiao and the Fourth Master both went to bed early, and Li Chenjiao forgot to tell the Fourth Master about Li Jia's matter.
The next day, when Fourth Master came, Li Chenjiao remembered this matter.
However, these words can only be spoken late at night.
However, before Li Chenjiao could even utter a word, she was first lifted off the bed by the Fourth Master, the curtains were lifted, and the room was filled with the fragrance of incense.
The lotus-sitting Guanyin, the thin shirt that Li Chenjiao was wearing in the summer had already been mostly lost during the Fourth Master's walk.
It's rare to see the Fourth Master so eager for sex.
The last time Fourth Master acted like this was when Li Chenjiao was a month out of her postpartum confinement period.
Li Chenjiao was still afraid of being hurt, and with half of her fragrant, bare skin exposed, she had no time to care about it. All her thoughts were focused on tightly hugging Fourth Master.
Her thin clothes were soaked with sweat, and Li Chenjiao finally had no strength left.
Doing this kind of thing in the summer is really exhausting, and with Fourth Master's good spirits and fiery temper, Li Chenjiao really couldn't take it anymore.
Another thing is that it's easy to sweat in the summer, and afterwards Li Chenjiao felt uncomfortable all over because of the sticky feeling.
She was really disgusted, so before going to the bathroom to wash up, she drank some herbal tea to soothe her throat. After the herbal tea went down her throat, she felt much better.
"Prepare some for Fourth Master; it'll help him cool down."
Li Chenjiao's voice trembled as she spoke, and her throat was still a little hoarse even after drinking tea.
Lin Mama, who was standing to the side, remained calm. Although the two maids had served Li Chenjiao for a long time and had seen such a scene before, they still couldn't help but blush secretly.
When Li Chenjiao came out of the washroom, the maids had already cleaned up the mess on the bed. She asked the Second Princess again.
The Second Princess has been going to bed early lately, and Li Chenjiao has been watching over her until she falls asleep.
However, Li Chenjiao was still worried that if the Second Princess woke up now, she would make a fuss and demand to see Chen Shi.
When the Fourth Master came out of the washroom, the two maids in the outer room extinguished the candles.
Li Chenjiao turned over to face the Fourth Master only after he had lain down.
“Yesterday, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I met Consort Li Jia from Yuqing Palace while I was paying my respects to the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace.”
Fourth Master remained silent, his two eyebrows slightly raised in the darkness.
Li Chenjiao then continued, "She also said that she would like to communicate with me from now on. I have always been foolish and ignorant of social etiquette, so I can only shamelessly ask Fourth Master for advice."
Regardless, Li Chenjiao had to tell the Fourth Master about this first.
However, from a personal perspective, Li Chenjiao was also unwilling to act as the link between the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince.
It seems that this matter is now more closely related to the Fourth Master, but to be honest, it is still inappropriate for Li Chenjiao, as a person in the inner palace, to know too much.
Li Chenjiao had no intention of interfering in outside affairs.
I don't want to get involved in it at all.
After Li Chenjiao finished speaking, Fourth Master paused for two seconds before speaking.
"If it's about disciplining the princes and princesses, I won't interfere. As for other matters, I'll have someone stop them."
This means that if Consort Li Jia of Yuqing Palace really did write some nonsensical messages for Li Chenjiao on behalf of the Crown Prince, those letters would eventually be intercepted by the Fourth Prince's men and would not be delivered to Li Chenjiao.
Li Chenjiao let out a very soft breath.
Just as she guessed, the Fourth Prince did not like the behavior of women in the inner palace interfering in the affairs of the court, which was exactly what she thought.
Li Chenjiao nodded slightly in the darkness: "I understand."
The Fourth Prince hummed in agreement: "From now on, you will receive more and more invitations and letters. Most of the invitations to ministers and their relatives are unnecessary to attend."
Fourth Master wouldn't tell Li Chenjiao exactly whose invitations she could attend and whose she didn't; he would only state the obvious truths that everyone understood.
The rest is up to Li Chenjiao to figure out herself.
However, Li Chenjiao couldn't help but think with emotion, "Is Fourth Master really not afraid that she will accept the wrong party's invitation? He just lets her look at the invitation and accept it without any worries."
However, Li Chenjiao and the Fourth Master were still talking that night when Li Chenjiao received a lot of invitations the next day.
It was either this family's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, or her family's shrimp and crab feast, followed by a small Double Ninth Festival banquet, or someone's birthday celebration.
This is when Granny Lin really came in handy.
The imperial family members were separated first, then the court officials, then the Upper Three Banners and the Lower Five Banners, and those related to the Uya and Tongjia clans were separated, as were those related to the Hesheli clan.
Lin Mama had been in the palace for many years, so she could tell you roughly what kind of people's relatives were like. She also had to pay attention to the princes behind those powerful families.
However, after spending half a day choosing, Li Chenjiao still wrote down a list and finally asked Xiao Luzi to take it to ask the Fourth Master.
Fourth Master took a pen and circled several surnames before sending them back to the East Courtyard.
Fourth Master put down his pen and suddenly burst into laughter.
He didn't know whether to say Li Chenjiao was cautious or what.
The arrogance he usually displayed in front of him had vanished without a trace.
But when something happens, they behave themselves very properly.
However, Fulu, who was serving him, saw the smile on his master's lips and naturally understood that the Fourth Master was in a good mood at the moment.
In the end, Li Chenjiao went to those banquets.
One of the more important days in September is the Double Ninth Festival.
Although Li Chenjiao's courtyard is not close to the garden, and there is still some distance, there are osmanthus trees planted along the way to the garden.
