In the brightly lit Pear Courtyard, the imperial physician reported to the Fourth Prince about Prince Hongshi's vomiting and diarrhea, prescribed medicine for him, and then left.
The remaining figures are Fourth Master and Madam Li, who is standing to the side with tears in her eyes, lovingly touching Hongshi's forehead.
"My dear Hongshi, don't feel bad anymore!" Madam Li gently coaxed Hongshi. "Your father has come to see you too!"
Seeing that Xiao Hongshi's face was not very good, the Fourth Master felt sorry for his son and lost the desire to return to Heyuan.
Then, as expected, Fourth Master stayed at Pear Courtyard that night.
For the women in the backyard, watching plays is a form of entertainment, and so is gossiping.
They were also very excited to watch the drama unfold with the high and mighty concubines who were above them.
It was only one night. The news that the Fourth Prince had not stayed at the Lotus Courtyard again and had been intercepted, and that Hesheli had been in the mansion for two days but had not been able to consummate the marriage with the Prince, quickly spread throughout the entire Prince's mansion.
If the steward of the Prince's mansion had been strict, Hesheli's jokes might have spread far and wide.
The next morning, Jiaming woke up but didn't get up even when Hongtao came in to help her get up.
She lay in bed, asking lazily, "Did the Fujin send any message this morning?"
.
Hongtao smiled and said, "Master, that's a good question. Someone really did come this morning."
"You don't need to go to the main courtyard to pay your respects, right?" Jiaming squinted and continued to ask lazily.
“Hehe, that’s right!” Red Peach nodded and said, “It’s because Consort Hesheli hasn’t consummated her marriage with the master.”
"I see!" Jiaming said, "Then you don't need to serve me here anymore. Your master is going to sleep a little longer." After saying that, she closed her eyes and went back to bed.
As the weather grew hotter, even Jiaming, who possessed wood-type supernatural abilities, was unwilling to go out and be exposed to the scorching sun at midday.
So, she carried Hongxuan to the couch, hooked his little hand with hers, and played with Jiaming while gently waving a small fan in one hand, and also listened attentively to Hongtao telling some gossip about the outside world or the mansion.
After hearing the gossip, Jiaming noticed Hongtao's thoughtful expression and asked in surprise, "Hongtao, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just thought of a possibility."
"What's possible?" Jiaming asked casually.
"Master, do you think that unlucky Consort Hesheli will be able to keep the master tonight?" It's no wonder that the Red Peach Society thinks this way, because Consort Hesheli is just too unlucky, and she is repeatedly humiliated by the primary consort and Consort Li.
They say things don't happen more than three times, which means there might be a third time. Who knows, tonight, the third night, I might get kidnapped again!
As Hongtao inquired, Lvliu brought in a tray with some delicate and delicious pastries and a bowl of ice. Since becoming pregnant, Jiaming's appetite had decreased slightly, though not by much.
Now, whenever she has free time, she still wants to eat it.
Jiaming took the bowl of ice, but before she could speak, Green Willow spoke up, "Sister Red Peach, you want to know this too? I heard that those little eunuchs secretly took money to bet on it?"
"Oh?" Jiaming looked at Lvliu curiously, but because she was eating, she couldn't speak, so she just gestured for her to continue.
Red Peach was also curious and looked at Green Willow.
"There's one yes and one no. Oh, and there's a third: Master is staying in the front yard tonight and didn't go to the lotus courtyard."
"That's it?" Jiaming was speechless. "I thought you were guessing who would intercept Master tonight?"
"Then, Master, who do you think might make a move?" Red Peach looked at Jiaming with bright eyes, as did Green Willow.
Jiaming calmly scooped up a mouthful of food, slowly finished it, and then said slowly, "I don't know either, anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
Red Peach and Green Willow glanced mournfully at Jiaming and exclaimed in unison, "Master!"
Upon hearing the drawn-out tone, Jiaming involuntarily trembled. She glanced speechlessly at the food that had fallen from her spoon, then looked up and gave Hongtao and Lvliu a reproachful look. "We'll find out tonight, no use calling me. Honestly, you made me waste a spoonful of food."
Just as Jiaming had said, that evening, all the women in the backyard of the Prince's mansion were eagerly awaiting news from Heyuan.
Even Honghui's wife, who was very anxious about him, sent people to keep a close eye on Heyuan, so that if there was any movement there, they could send a message back immediately.
However, these personal opinions differ somewhat from Jiaming's; for example, they also...
In the Peach Blossom Courtyard, Jiaming was leisurely sipping tea and eating snacks, surrounded by Granny Sun, Hongtao, and Lvliu.
.
A moment later, Xiao Hezi came in, and everyone turned to look at him.
Xiao Hezi calmly said, "Master, this servant has noticed that quite a few servants are keeping a close eye on our Peach Courtyard."
"What?" Jiaming blinked, then blinked again. "Little He, are there quite a few servants keeping a close watch on Heyuan?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hezi nodded and said, "Master, you are right. Besides our people keeping a close watch on Heyuan, there are other servants also keeping watch."
Jiaming: As expected, Xiao Hezi said the wrong thing.
“However, this servant did not speak wrongly.” As if he had heard Jiaming’s thoughts, Xiao Hezi replied, “Besides Heyuan being watched, our Taoyuan is also being closely watched by many servants.”
"Ah!" Hearts exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the sound, "Why?"
Jiaming pondered for a moment and then realized why. However, after understanding, she exchanged a helpless glance with Granny Sun and said, "These people are really something. They actually think that after the Fujin and Li Shi, I will be the one to intercept the Fourth Master tonight."
This time, these women in the inner quarters are going to be disappointed. They really have no intention of intercepting the Fourth Prince or slapping the concubine in the face.
