"Alright, work hard and do a good job! I'll give you a share of the profits, and you can buy a house, acquire property, or make a dowry if you want!" Shirley said earnestly, then looked at the other three head maids, "The same goes for you!"
The maids were both surprised and touched.
"This servant thanks you, Madam, but I will serve you for the rest of my life and never marry!" Mu Jin made no attempt to hide her disdain for men.
"Alright, then let's keep it to buy property. Having money will give us peace of mind!" Shirley smiled brightly; she quite liked these girls.
She also placed Mulan next to Honghui.
These are all servants who grew up with the original owner!
Two days later, news came from her mother's family.
Those small toys sold reasonably well; they didn't make a lot of money, but they supported many disabled veterans.
The original owner's mother delivered a message saying that Fei Yanggu cried tears of joy seeing his old brothers living well!
Sherry was touched and felt a mix of emotions!
The next day, Shirley went to the palace to pay her respects to Consort De!
He specifically led Honghui along.
After all, in her memory, Consort De was mostly polite to her, neither warm nor cold.
But they were much more enthusiastic towards Honghui.
Following the original owner's example, Shirley offered various greetings and compliments, and then expressed Yinzhen's feelings.
Consort De's smile became much more natural, at least it didn't look like she was wearing a mask.
"Hui'er looks much stronger!" Consort De hugged Honghui, her eyes full of affection.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law often takes him out for walks and sightseeing, and his appetite has been quite good lately!" Shirley smiled gracefully.
"You're very good; you've raised your child very well!" Consort De looked at her with satisfaction.
"Grandma, Hui'er has learned the Three Character Classic, and recently she has been reading travelogues and the Four Books. Can Hui'er recite them for Grandma?!" Honghui said, her eyes burning with desire as she clung to Consort De's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Really? Hui'er is that amazing?" Consort De was surprised and overjoyed.
So, the little guy put his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest, and began to recite!
Both Shirley and Consort De were all smiling.
"If Hui'er likes it, why don't we go to the Imperial Study in advance?" Consort De looked at Xue Li.
"I think it's fine this year, there will be plenty of time in the future. He won't have the chance to relax and be so free in the future!" Xue Li smiled mischievously. After thinking about it, Consort De did not insist anymore.
But later, when he talked to Emperor Kangxi, Kangxi also noticed the fourth prince's legitimate son!
Thanks to her son, Sherry had lunch before returning home.
After the mother and son finished their short rest, the polo ball that Shirley had prepared was delivered.
Sherry changed into loose-fitting trousers and a slightly fitted top, and styled her hair simply.
Several eunuchs and the mother and son were playing football together.
The little guy was overjoyed, and his silvery laughter rang out for a long time.
Shirley's clothes were slightly damp from running, but the little guy was full of energy.
Yinzhen stood at the door for a long time, and only saw him when Xue Li took a break to feed the little one some water.
The maids and eunuchs all bowed and greeted him.
Sherry wiped her son's and her own foreheads, and then led the little guy in a graceful bow.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness!"
"Your son greets Father!"
The mother and son spoke in unison, and Yinzhen strode forward to support Xue Li.
"No need for formalities!" Yinzhen looked at her and reached out to wipe her forehead.
Sherry smiled and said, "Please sit for a while, my lord. I'll take Hui'er to bathe and change!"
"Father, do you want to play ball? Your son will play with you, it's so much fun!" Honghui was very enthusiastic, he probably felt that his father was very envious of them.
Yinzhen: ……⊙▽⊙
Yinzhen paused, then patted his head and said.
"Go take a shower and change your clothes first, be careful not to catch a cold!"
"Yes!" The little guy happily skipped and jumped away, followed by eunuchs, maids, and old women.
Sherry sent someone to make the arrangements, and then went to take a bath herself.
After tidying up, Yinzhen sat in the room reading her book.
A refined and handsome scholar and a charming and alluring male fox spirit.
Yinzhen: ⊙▽⊙
Sherry was a little embarrassed, but she still tried to straighten up and smiled gently.
Yinzhen looked at her, seemed about to say something but ultimately remained silent.
Sherry didn't know what to say. Should they discuss how the charming scholar and the male fox were being intimate?
When she came out just now, she vaguely saw his pupils dilate in shock!
So, let's not provoke him!
The little atmosphere-maker came running over, instantly breaking the ice!
Yinzhen tested the little guy's homework, and the little guy answered fluently!
Sydney: Look at our eldest son, how smart he is! Just like me!
System: Hmm, you've finally said something sensible! But the following sentence is completely unnecessary!
Sherry: Ha! Unlike you, you're not even human!
System: I'm not human to begin with, hehehe~ O(∩_∩)O
Sherry: Yeah, I'm not even a living being, so I can only look at the delicious food!
System: Ha! Just wait and see if I'll even acknowledge you! Hmph!
After teasing the system, Sherry felt much better.
In the evening, the family of three had dinner.
Yinzhen enjoyed the novel dishes, including Buddha Jumps Over the Wall (a modified version of Fu Shou Quan), Squirrel Fish, Seafood Soup, Three Treasures of the Earth, and Braised Pork Belly. There were also novel fruit yogurt and cream cake.
The family of three ate to their hearts' content, and Yinzhen also ate a little more today!
"Father, this braised pork is delicious, but you can't eat too much. Please try some!" The little guy was very enthusiastic and eagerly introduced it to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen listened to his advice, picked up a piece, and found it melted in his mouth, with a delicate texture and no fishy smell at all.
He nodded and looked at Sherry.
Shirley was stunned for a moment, then used serving chopsticks to put a piece of eggplant on his plate. She had heard that he didn't like meat.
