"Madam, I saw Master Zifeng enter that courtyard." Chunlei reported.
"Oh? Did you look carefully?" Yu Yuanzheng felt strange that a young master from a royal palace would come to such a place.
She had no interest in the people in the second house, so she didn't get to know them much. She just felt very disgusted by the second old lady.
"I'm not mistaken." Chunlei was sure.
"Xia Yu, you stay and find out quietly. We'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the alley." Yu Yuanzheng made a decision immediately and found out clearly.
Yue Yuying now was a good girl whom she recognized, and the two became friends, so of course she had to pay more attention to her affairs.
After receiving the order, Xia Yu leaped up and disappeared from Yu Yuanzheng's sight.
Chunlei drove the carriage to the entrance of the alley and waited.
After waiting for about quarter of an hour, Xia Yu came back.
"What is he doing there?" Yu Yuanzheng asked impatiently.
"Madam, it would be better for me to report this matter to the prince." Xia Yu felt that it would be best for them not to interfere in this matter.
"What's going on?" Yu Yuanzheng wanted to know what it was when he heard it.
"Uh." Xia Yu hesitated.
"You'd better tell me. We are now subordinates of the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Young Mistress." Chun Lei reminded.
Chunlei is now very loyal to the eldest young lady.
In fact, all ten guards were very loyal to Yu Yuanzheng, because her performance in the past two months had made them accept this master from the bottom of their hearts.
"Young Master Zifeng has a mistress here." Xia Yu blushed a little.
He just quietly entered the small courtyard from the back. The courtyard was too small, and as soon as he entered, he heard the two people doing that.
Seriously, we just met and you can’t wait.
It was too embarrassing for a bachelor like him to hear that kind of scene.
"What did you say?" Yu Yuanzheng raised his voice.
Xia Yu repeated it again. He knew that his master had heard it clearly, but just found it hard to accept it.
"Xia Yu, you stay and find out what's going on. Who is that woman? How long have they been together? Don't tell anyone without knowing the details." Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that there were so many scumbags in ancient times.
That second uncle is a big scumbag, but even the second aunt in ancient times could tolerate him and even help him keep a concubine.
It is true that pine seedlings grow under pine trees, and locust seedlings grow under locust trees.
"Yes." Xia Yu accepted the order.
Chunlei drove the carriage back to the back door of Shiritang.
As soon as Zhuifeng saw the carriage coming back, he immediately came forward to help lead the horse into the yard.
"Madam, the palace's chief steward, Uncle Li, will come in half an hour to invite the miracle doctor to come into the palace to see the eldest young master." Zhuifeng reported immediately upon seeing Yu Yuanzheng.
And a smile on his face.
They have done so much just waiting for this day.
"Oh? Did the prince ask him to come?"
Li Zhongcheng, the palace steward, obeyed the prince's orders.
"Yes." Zhuifeng answered affirmatively.
The only one who can ask the chief steward to come in person is the prince.
"Has Uncle Li seen you?"
"No. Uncle Lin received me. He just said he would pass the news to the miracle doctor."
"Okay, send a message to the butler, and tell him to come into the mansion in three days." Yu Yuanzheng immediately made arrangements, "Chun Lei, it's up to you then. I hope you can keep it a secret from your father."
After returning to the palace, he went to the main courtyard to report to the princess, and finally saw that everyone had gathered in the hall again.
Everyone was smiling happily.
Especially the second old lady and Concubine Luo.
Yu Chaoyang looked shy and blushing, but also a little smug.
"Greetings, father, Princess Lu." Yu Yuanzheng greeted her politely.
"She's always out and about, busier than the prince. Princess, you need to take good care of your wife here, and don't let her show up in public all the time, bringing shame to our palace.
Look at Chaoyang, she works hard every day, and she is pregnant just two months after entering the house. You should praise Chaoyang and give her some good things, because she is also your daughter-in-law."
As soon as the second old lady saw Yu Yuanzheng coming back from outside, she wanted to say a few words.
"I'm sorry, Madam, it's Yuan Zheng's fault. The eldest son and I don't have a palace to inherit, so we have to run our two dowry shops well so that we can support ourselves in the future.
I can't be like my second uncle's family, who have several shops but can't support the family, and need my second aunt to use her dowry to subsidize them. This shows how important it is to run a shop well, but my second uncle is not good at it." Yu Yuanzheng said seriously.
The second old lady was so angry that her face turned cold as ice.
"you......"
"Okay, Yuan Zheng always gets the permission of the princess before going out, so don't blame her for this." The princess stepped in to suppress the quarrel.
"Sister Princess, Chaoyang is a blessed child. She got pregnant just two months after marrying into the royal family. This is a great joyous event for our palace. Should we add more staff to Shuxiangyuan? I'm afraid that those few people can't take good care of her." Concubine Luo smiled and changed the subject.
"The people in her courtyard plus the ones she brought from her mother's home have a whole lot more people than the Ziqi courtyard. Is that not enough?" The princess glanced at Concubine Luo indifferently.
"Zishu's wet nurse is sick and hasn't been to work for a few days. She may not be well. How about adding a housekeeper? And two second-class maids to run errands, in case Concubine Zi needs something and there's no one to help."
Concubine Luo was not annoyed, and continued to make her demands in a gentle voice.
"Yuan Zheng, does your courtyard need any more people? After Ziqi's two big maids were sent out to get married by Concubine Li, no more people were added." The princess did not respond to Concubine Luo's words, but turned to ask Yu Yuan Zheng if she needed anything.
"My Lady, no need. There are enough people in the courtyard. The eldest son is mainly served by servants, and my daughter-in-law is not pregnant yet. Too many people will make a lot of noise." Yu Yuanzheng would definitely not agree to add someone at this time. What if it is someone's spy? She has a lot of secrets now.
"If you need anything, just tell Concubine Lu."
"must."
"Okay, let's add four more maids to Shuxiangyuan. Forget about having a housekeeper. Too many people means more conflicts. Let Chaoyang's wet nurse be the housekeeper. She has watched Chaoyang grow up since he was a child, and she will definitely do her best in everything she does." The princess announced her decision.
She wasn't so pretentious even when she was pregnant.
The princess gave four at once, and the second old lady and Concubine Luo were very satisfied.
Yu Chaoyang and his son, who were sitting next to each other, didn't care what the adults were discussing. They just talked in a low voice and exchanged glances. Their happy faces were enough to dazzle anyone's eyes.
Yu Chaoyang gently touched his belly which had no feeling yet.
She was pregnant, which was something she had always dreamed of. She didn't expect that after a new life, happiness would come so quickly.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and glanced at Yu Yuanzheng who had just sat opposite her.
Laughing provocatively.
"Princess Ouzi, Princess Ouzi, congratulations." Yu Yuanzheng congratulated her politely when she saw her looking at him.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You may also consider adopting a child, otherwise your future life will be very difficult. Children are very important to a woman." Seeing Yu Yuanzheng's insincere congratulations, Yu Chaoyang thought of his own experience before and advised her.
If the previous trajectory had been followed, the first wife would have adopted a five-year-old child, and that child would have caused a lot of trouble for the first wife. At that time, I really didn't like that child at all, which led to a very bad relationship. In the end, the child often went to his biological grandfather's house.
Yu Yuanzheng was one year younger than she was, so it was even more impossible for her to have a good relationship with a child. She waited to see what was going on.
"Chaoyang is right. Your Highness, the clan leader's wife came to chat with me the day before yesterday and talked about this matter. Ziqi is already like that, so it is better to make plans early. Don't wait until later, when something happens to Ziqi and your daughter-in-law can't keep him and runs away with someone else, there will be no one under Ziqi's name." The second old lady continued.
Thinking of the benefits promised by the clan leader's wife, she was excited.
