System: I underestimated you, Great Demon! You're not just not smart enough, you're shameless to the point of having an impenetrable wall! _?
Sherry: You mere mortals know nothing!
A certain system: You're awesome! ?_?
Yinzhen ate quite well, but after the meal he mentioned to Xue Li that he really liked the spicy diced chicken!
Sherry: I don't care if you like it or not!
"Wow! Mother likes that dish too, and so does your son. But you can't eat too much, Mother says it will cause internal heat!" The little guy had no idea what his mother was thinking and happily chimed in.
Honghui: My mother, father, and I all like the same dish!
Yinzhen's gaze at Xue Li was quite intriguing!
After dinner, Yinzhen started quoting classical Chinese phrases with his son again!
Xueli was happily munching on her yogurt!
After rinsing my mouth, I took a walk in the yard. The sun was shining brightly, so I planned to go back and take a nap!
The little guy was eagerly waiting for his father to leave, but instead he was sent to the side hall while his father and mother took a nap.
Honghui: Hmph, I don't want Father anymore! o(′^｀)o
Sherry was already asleep and unaware of the lawsuit between the father and son.
Yinzhen lay on his side, looking at Xue Li's fair and radiant skin, and the fine, mottled hickeys on her neck...
Finally, he held her in his arms and fell into a deep sleep!
In the afternoon, when Sherry woke up, she saw the little guy running and jumping around in the yard with the little black dog.
Sherry took care of some chores, ate some fruit with her son, and then took the little guy fishing.
The mansion has pavilions, corridors, and a lotus pond, where several fish are specially raised.
Sherry sent people to carry fishing rods and buckets, and the whole group went to the pavilion together.
Then he happened to meet several concubines and princesses.
There are Yi, Zhang, and Chunmei.
They greeted them and then left!
Shirley thought for a moment. There were still Madam Song, Madam Wang, Madam Chang, and Madam Ma in the backyard. So, Madam Li was truly the only one standing out right now, so arrogant as to dare steal her favor!
Shirley did the math and realized that it was now the 40th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, which would be the 43rd year of his reign. Niohuru and Geng would be entering the mansion then!
Sherry lazily basked in the sun, while the little one sat patiently and obediently.
The mother and son didn't catch a single fish all afternoon; they just sunbathed!
During dinner, before Yinzhen could even sit down properly, someone arrived at Consort Li's courtyard.
Sherry was actually quite happy, while Yinzhen's expression turned rather unpleasant.
Seeing the panicked look on Li's head maid's face, Xue Li patted the little guy on the back.
His expression remained completely calm! The little guy glanced at his father and then at his mother, but didn't say a word!
"This servant greets Your Highness and Madam! The Third Prince has suddenly developed a high fever, and our master has fainted from worry. Please, Madam, summon a royal physician!"
Sherry: Tsk, extremely arrogant!
“Your master is right here, what are you begging me for?! Since Madam Li has fainted, let’s go over there together!” Xue Li said, and then she got up after having Granny Yu take care of the little one’s meal.
Yinzhen thought that Xue Li was jealous, so his expression wasn't as bad as it had been at first.
But I was still a little worried when I heard that my child was sick!
"Su Peisheng, take my token and go fetch an imperial physician, and then summon the family physician."
"Hui'er, don't rush. Have your meal and rest early. Your mother and father will go check on your little brother!" Xue Li patted the little guy's head, and the little guy nodded in agreement.
Shirley went to Qingya Residence with Yinzhen. This time, Madam Li was really anxious, her eyes were full of tears, and she was dressed simply and elegantly.
In the past, because of her beautiful appearance, Li preferred to wear clothes with lots of flowers!
Now, crying coyly, she threw herself into Yinzhen's arms. Xue Li watched coldly, remaining silent.
Yinzhen helped the person up and secretly glanced at Xue Li, who walked past them and went straight inside to see the child.
Only then did Mrs. Li notice Shirley and sheepishly lowered her hand.
The eldest princess bowed and greeted her. Shirley patted her on the back and told her to go back inside and be careful not to catch a cold so late at night!
"How could the young prince suddenly fall ill?" Xue Li asked Li Shi calmly.
Li clenched her handkerchief, about to cry again, but seeing Xue Li's amused look, she didn't cry. She stammered, "I just suddenly fell ill!"
"What did you eat, what did you use, or did you catch a chill?!" Sherry asked casually.
Hongyun has always been in good physical condition, but because he is carefully raised, he is also delicate.
A look of embarrassment crossed Li's face. Finally, she lowered her head and sobbed, saying she knew nothing.
The physician arrived shortly afterward and saw that both masters were being treated in a hurry.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the young prince has caught a cold, which has led to a high fever. Perhaps..." The physician hesitated.
"To put it bluntly, this is a matter of life and death!" Seeing Li's panicked eyes darting around, Xue Li realized—was she courting death?!
The physician paused for a moment before speaking, "It seems the young prince has been ill for some time, which is why he developed a fever..."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face turned extremely ugly, and he looked at Li Shi with displeasure.
Madam Li knelt on the ground, sobbing, "My lord, I didn't know! Yun'er is my son! How could I bear to see him suffer?! My lord—"
“Ms. Li, just tell me, when did you find out the child was sick? And what did you do after you found out he was sick? Or is it that the child’s wet nurse was irresponsible? Then just replace them all!” Shirley said calmly.
"No!" Madam Li exclaimed hastily, meeting Xue Li's half-smiling eyes and Yinzhen's dark face.
"Su Peisheng, take all the servants around Hongyun away! Investigate them thoroughly!"
"Yes, sir!" As Su Peisheng took his leave, Li's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
