Sherry got a little annoyed after a few days, especially seeing Lao Si worrying so much that he couldn't eat or sleep.
I couldn't help but feel a little resentful!
So, I told the Imperial Noble Consort a story.
Yes, the little princess really liked her, so she chose her to be her mother. Unfortunately, the little princess was surrounded by wolves; no one wanted her to be born. She had arranged to meet her mother, so she came and went in a hurry. This hasty departure was so she could come back more prepared next time. Of course, next time, the mother and baby will work together to prepare!
Whether Sherry's story was good or not is unknown, but the Imperial Noble Consort believed it.
She needs someone to rely on right now!
The fourth one is not suitable; after all, a person's dark side can be quite terrifying.
Even if he were alive and healthy, he would still be envied.
If someone with ulterior motives were to say something about incompatible horoscopes or something, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.
As for Sherry, she's even less suitable. She wouldn't have come if it weren't for the sake of the fourth brother.
After all, her three children were safe and sound, while even one of the Imperial Noble Consort's daughters did not survive.
Who will balance this?
So, all the Imperial Noble Consort needs to do is recover her health and wait for the child to arrive.
After resting, she went to investigate who had attacked her!
Whether it exists or not is not important; a person always needs something to look forward to while they are alive, right?
While the Imperial Noble Consort was still grieving and weeping, someone had already leaked the news to the little guy.
"Consort Fu is your birth mother."
When Sherry heard the news, the fourth brother had already hidden away, crying.
While arranging for people to investigate the troublemakers, Sherry went to find the fourth brother.
The little guy is currently hiding in a side hall of Chengqian Palace, crying his eyes out.
Speaking of which, the fourth brother was very close to her, inexplicably liked her, would act coquettishly towards her, and loved to giggle.
Being with her felt like letting my true nature shine through.
On the contrary, he both wanted to be close to the Imperial Noble Consort and was somewhat distant from her.
When facing Emperor Kangxi, the young man was very well-behaved.
But right now, someone with ulterior motives has probably affected his mindset, and he's probably getting stuck on a rut.
One person hid.
Sherry arranged for someone to inform them and searched everywhere. When they found the little guy, he was hiding under a desk, sobbing.
Sherry simply walked around her and forcibly pulled her into her arms.
The little one nestled in her arms for a long time before suddenly bursting into tears.
Sobbing, she asked Sherry, "Am I...am I your child?"
"Yes!" Sherry answered without hesitation.
The servants outside Chengqian Palace, hearing these resounding words, looked rather displeased as they watched her retreating figure.
"Then, why, why... sob..."
The little one clutched her clothes, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Firstly, it is the rule in the palace to raise a child from birth. When your mother gave birth to you, she was only a concubine and could not raise you. Secondly, the Imperial Noble Consort protected you very well and did not tell you because she was afraid that you would be as sad as you are now."
After all, she couldn't very well say that the Tong family wanted to register him under the name of the Imperial Noble Consort, thus completely severing their relationship as mother and son.
Then whatever he does, between his birth mother and adoptive mother, is wrong.
Being close to your adoptive mother will hurt your birth mother's feelings.
If he gets close to his birth mother, people will say he's an ungrateful wretch.
If the Imperial Noble Consort had even one son or daughter, she wouldn't be fixated on the fourth son.
After all, she was the most qualified to be empress.
She was also afraid that Yinzhen would take away the prestigious position of the future biological child.
That's why Shirley and the Imperial Noble Consort achieved a certain balance.
On the one hand, she didn't want to have frequent contact with Sherry, but on the other hand, she didn't completely push things to the extreme.
While Sherry's shamelessness certainly played a part, Kangxi's affection for her also made her increasingly cautious in her attitude towards Sherry.
More than anything, she longed for her own child!
The Tong family has been observing the situation.
It would be good to have an Imperial Noble Consort, but even if you don't, having a prince whom you raised yourself is not bad either.
This was also Empress Xiaoyi's regret before her death.
If she had lived a few more years, she certainly wouldn't have been so fixated on the fourth son.
It was for the sake of the family's expectations that he requested Emperor Kangxi to completely change the fourth prince's imperial genealogy.
However, Emperor Kangxi refused, and instead chose the lesser of two options, making her Empress.
She was unwilling but helpless; if she continued to be greedy, she would damage their relationship.
At this moment, the little guy listened to Sherry's words with a cute look in his eyes, looking a bit confused.
"Just remember this: you have an extra mother who loves you more than others!"
Sherry ruffled his little head.
Putting aside everything else, Emperor Kangxi himself valued family background.
Of course, it's uncertain right now.
That's probably true; off the bed, they have one kind of relationship, but on the bed, it's another.
No conflict!
Sherry was lost in thought.
The little guy thought for a moment, then looked up and asked her.
"Then, who told me all this? It must be a bad person!"
"Guess? Did you ever think it was me?" Sherry touched his soft, chubby little face.
"No, if you wanted to tell me, you would have already done so. Why would I need someone else to tell me?" Sherry looked at the little guy's clear black and white eyes and felt very satisfied.
Look, her son is so smart.
"Smart, just as my son is!" Shirley kissed him several times with delight, then continued to stroke his little braid. "Yinzhen, just remember this: in this world, only your mother will never harm you. You must also learn to observe, learn to train, and learn to observe the servants around you!"
The little guy looked a bit lost, but he calmed down and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mommy, you can touch it if you want, but can you touch it somewhere else? My braids are almost bald!"
Sherry hugged the doll-shaped figurine and stroked it for a long time before finally taking his hand and heading to the main hall of Chengqian Palace.
The palace servants were visibly on guard.
Sherry's expression remained unchanged. She patted the little guy reassuringly and told him to go downstairs and have some milk and snacks before she asked to see the Imperial Noble Consort.
The Imperial Noble Consort had been awake for some time when she heard the news and was so angry that she almost fainted.
At this moment, Shirley's face turned cold and stern.
"Your humble servant greets Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort!"
"It is an honor for Consort Fu to grace us with her presence. What brings you here?"
"Oh, sister, there's no need for that. If I really wanted him to know, I would have told him already. After all, I don't want him to be in a dilemma at such a young age. I suppose you feel the same way!"
Sherry silently added, "No, you're just looking for a better option while still employed."
"So, you're saying that today's events have nothing to do with you?" The Imperial Noble Consort sneered.
"Don't you know that yourself? It's not me who's afraid you'll give birth to a half-legitimate child. It's not me who's afraid I'll follow you without complaint. All I want is for Yinzhen to be happy, for his brothers and sisters to live in harmony, not for him to be filled with self-doubt, self-loathing, and cynical!"
Yes, to avoid mental illness from lasting a lifetime.
Otherwise, she would have already been flirting with handsome young men.
Consort Tong closed her eyes briefly, and after a long while, she shouted loudly, "Chengqian Palace cannot accommodate such a great figure as you! From now on, Consort Fu need not come!"
Sherry looked at her with a calm expression, but her tone was full of anger.
I understood immediately.
Then he turned and left in a huff.
