When the Fourth Princess heard Han Xiao's name, her eyes moved, and then she opened her eyes in the surprise expression of Concubine Li.
Looking at Concubine Li with swollen eyes and a haggard face, the Fourth Princess felt a pang of regret in her heart. Why did she continue to be so decadent and hurt her relatives again?
Aunt Yin Ping has died for her. She can't be so negative anymore. She wants revenge and makes Han Xiao and Ruan Zhu pay the price.
"Mother, I'm so hungry..." The fourth princess said weakly after she figured it out.
She hadn't eaten much for several days. After experiencing the brink of life and death, the Fourth Princess figured out a lot of things.
She couldn't let Aunt Yinping's efforts go to waste. She would definitely get what she had wanted since she was a child, and Han Xiao would be no exception.
Looking at the Fourth Princess's determined eyes, Concubine Li didn't know what she was thinking about. Just hearing that the Fourth Princess wanted to eat, Concubine Li burst into tears of joy: "Okay...Okay, mother will cook it for you personally, okay? Come on, bring in some snacks first."
She turned to the fourth princess and said gently, "Jingyu, eat some snacks first to fill your stomach. Mother will be ready soon."
The fourth princess nodded indifferently. It didn't matter what she ate, the most important thing was that she stayed alive.
Almost wolfing down the snacks, Concubine Li patted the Fourth Princess' back with a distressed look on her face: "Jingyu, eat slowly. There's more to come after you finish. There's also the meal that mother will cook later."
After saying that, she asked the nanny beside her to look after the Fourth Princess while she went to cook for her.
"By the way, Jingyu, your brother just went back in anger. When he comes back later, please comfort him. Your brother has been worried about you for the past two days."
Concubine Li still didn't want a rift in the relationship between her two children, so she said it only after seeing that the fourth princess was calm.
The Fourth Princess raised her head, the emotion in her eyes unclear as she smiled and said to Concubine Li: "Mother, don't worry, you and my brother have done enough for me. I will explain it to my brother. This time I was the one who went crazy."
Hearing the Fourth Princess say this, Concubine Li was overjoyed. She stepped forward and touched the Fourth Princess' hair. "That's good, that's good. Mother was really afraid that you would abandon her for a...female official."
When the fourth princess heard Aunt Yinping, her eyes darkened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. She had to endure it now and let her mother know that she was fine.
"No, mother, I'm hungry. I want to eat the white jade fish soup you made..."
"Okay, I'll go right away. You take a rest first."
Concubine Li was worried and gave a few more instructions before leaving. The Fourth Princess did not sit up until Concubine Li left.
The palace maid immediately stepped forward to support her. The Fourth Princess did not refuse. The first thing she did when she got up was to walk to the dressing table.
Through the clear water mirror, the fourth princess saw that her current complexion was not good-looking. She forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, but she looked hideous in the mirror.
"Do you think I'm ugly now?"
The maid was already standing tremblingly behind the Fourth Princess, with her head lowered. Suddenly, she heard the Fourth Princess' words and was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and whispered, "The Princess is naturally beautiful, not ugly at all..."
"Oh? Not ugly, not ugly. Why doesn't he like me? I've tried so hard to please him..."
The fourth princess touched her face and spoke sinisterly. The madness in her eyes frightened the little princess so much that she rested her forehead on the ground.
When the maid didn't answer, the fourth princess sneered and turned to face the maid: "What's your name?"
All the palace maids that were familiar to the Fourth Princess had been replaced by Concubine Li. The palace maid serving her today also looked unfamiliar. She must have been transferred by Concubine Li to look after her to prevent the Fourth Princess from escaping from the palace again.
"My name is Cui Yuan."
"Cui Yuan? Nice name. Just follow me from now on." The Fourth Princess lifted Cui Yuan's chin with her fingertips and said coldly.
Cui Yuan swallowed quietly and said, "Yes, Princess."
"Okay, get up now. If someone doesn't know, they'd think I was bullying you."
The fourth princess turned her head again and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling dissatisfied. Which man would like her like this?
In a fit of rage, the Fourth Princess pushed the mirror off the dressing table. The loud noise made Cui Yuan's heart skip a beat, and she quickly knelt on the ground to pick up the broken pieces of the mirror.
The fourth princess' face turned pale as she stood up with the help of the dressing table: "Someone, come here, I need to take a bath..."
She needs to recover to her best condition as soon as possible. This kind of decadence is not what the Fourth Princess wants.
The weather was getting hotter, and Han Xiao was worried that the young master would get heatstroke, so he asked Qingping Town to deliver saltpeter in advance for making ice.
Although saltpeter is also available in the capital, Han Xiao uses a large amount, so it would be uneconomical to purchase it in the capital.
The repair of the cement road went very smoothly. Recently, Chu Jinglin had no time to visit the young master, and when he did meet him occasionally, he was always in a hurry.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Han Xiao was worried that the workers couldn't bear it. Part of the saltpeter he transferred this time was for household use, and part was to be sold to Chu Jinglin.
This will allow him to ensure the progress of the project, and the road workers will not be delayed due to heatstroke.
After the emperor knew about Han Xiao's actions, he gave him a lot of things as rewards. Han Xiao took a look and was very sure that the emperor was giving things to the young master under the name of rewarding himself.
Because most of the rewards were fabrics and jewelry for my brothers to wear,
However, Han Xiao didn't care. It made no difference whether he gave it to him or the young master. There was no distinction between you and me.
Lu Qingyun took the opportunity to return to Qingping Town to dispatch saltpeter.
With the help of the young master, Lu Qingyun and Liu Anlan have made rapid progress recently.
The construction of the cement road here had just stabilized when Lu Qingyun ran away. If he delayed any further, his wife would be gone.
This time, Lu Qingyun stayed in Qingping Town for almost a month. The young master asked him to bring a lot of good things to Liu Anlan.
I want my friends to come to Beijing as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be too lonely for him to be alone, and there would be no one to play with him.
Huo Xinyan could accompany him when he was free, but Huo Xinyan held an official position and was not like him who had nothing to do every day.
The young master thought for a moment and then went to Han Xiao and asked him, "Husband, do you think I should find something to do? Otherwise, it would be so boring to stay at home every day."
The young master lay in Han Xiao's arms, his little hands entangled in Han Xiao's long hair.
Han Xiao put a lot of ice cubes in the study, and only then was the young master willing to get close to Han Xiao.
When it got hot at the beginning, the young master stayed away from Han Xiao.
Han Xiao hugged the young master's slender waist, wrote the last word, and put it away before answering: "Didn't you play with Chao Chao? Don't you want to see Chao Chao every day?"
