She was nodding in agreement when suddenly she heard the Fourth Master change his mind.
Fourth Master frowned, then said decisively, "This is not appropriate!"
"Huh?" Why did you change your mind? Jiaming asked in confusion, "Why?"
“The child is still young. If I educate him like this, I'm afraid he won't understand what I mean and will grow up wrong... In short, Hongxuan needs to be educated properly, but it needs to be done step by step. I can't teach him so much at once. I have to take it slowly. I can't remember…”
Jiaming listened to Fourth Master's parenting advice and was initially stunned.
Is this still the Fourth Prince?
His words were full of quotations and examples, and she found them all very reasonable, eventually being persuaded by the Fourth Prince.
Holy crap, they even know how to raise kids? That's amazing!
When Jiaming heard this, she was not only amazed by Fourth Master's prowess, but also filled with cold sweat and lingering fear.
According to Fourth Master, if they were to try their best to correct the child's temperament now, making him less soft-hearted and accommodating, young Hongxuan might very well be led astray.
.
"Sigh, why is raising children so difficult?" Jiaming glanced at the chubby Hongxuan and thought about how much time she would have to spend teaching him in the future, and immediately felt dejected.
Immediately, she raised her eyes, her bright eyes looking at the Fourth Master, "However, Your Highness, you said that Hongxuan is under your care. With you teaching him, I am at ease!"
The implication was that from now on, Hongxuan's upbringing would be the responsibility of the Fourth Master.
Fourth Master actually thought so too, so he nodded happily.
Then, whenever Fourth Master had free time, he would have Su Peisheng or Gao Wuyong come to Peach Courtyard to take Xiao Hongxuan to the front yard.
Because it happened so frequently, Jiaming took advantage of the Fourth Prince's visit to Peach Blossom Courtyard to inquire about it. The Fourth Prince said, "Didn't I say that I was in charge of educating Hongxuan?"
Jiaming blinked, then, unable to hold back any longer, subtly rolled her eyes and said, "Master, Hongxuan isn't even a year old yet. It's too early for you to start teaching him. Besides, didn't you say before that we shouldn't educate Hongxuan too much?"
The Fourth Prince glanced at Jiaming and said calmly, "I am slowly influencing him. Don't worry, I know how to educate the young prince. You don't need to say anything more."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiaming felt that the Fourth Master's gaze towards her had become more profound.
Little did she know that her unparalleled, supple skin was what the Fourth Prince adored.
Moreover, her constitution made her feel warm in winter and cool in summer, which is why the Fourth Prince, who disliked both heat and cold, loved to come to her place.
Moreover, she and the Fourth Master were extremely compatible physically, and their sex life was exceptionally harmonious.
Men are all creatures who like to think with their lower bodies, and Fourth Master is no exception. So, as they were talking, Fourth Master reached out and played with Jiaming's hand.
Jiaming felt very uncomfortable under the Fourth Master's intense gaze. She couldn't help but shift her body and try to pull her hand away from his grasp, but she couldn't.
"Master..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fourth Master silenced him with a kiss, and then... in the tent, spring was in the air.
After practicing the Shangqing Sutra, Fourth Master's physical strength and energy increased considerably.
In addition, having tasted the finest tea, he felt somewhat uninterested in the other women in his harem.
So naturally, most of the effort was directed at Jiaming. As a result, Jiaming was exhausted after a whole night of this. The Fourth Master could already do something like "seven times a night" a long time ago.
So, the next day, at the crack of dawn, Jiaming was finally able to rest.
So, Jiaming didn't wake up until around noon the next day.
As soon as Jiaming woke up, she heard Hongxuan wailing.
"What's wrong with Hongxuan?" Jiaming asked in a hoarse voice as she took Hongxuan from Granny Sun.
Granny Sun: "This old servant doesn't know why either."
While comforting Hongxuan, who was crying, struggling, and kicking, Jiaming said, "Granny Sun, tell me about what happened to Hongxuan this morning."
Granny Sun recalled for a moment, organized her thoughts, and then said, "Your Highness, you were still asleep this morning. After the wet nurse fed the little master some complementary food, I gave him some stuffed animals to play with. After playing for a while, the little master asked the wet nurse to hold him, making babbling noises, and then he struggled and started crying."
.
Jiaming listened and thought about it, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. So, she was dumbfounded when she saw Hongxuan crying no matter what she did.
What should we do?
Is it because I didn't get any milk this morning? I'm not used to it!
Thinking about it, it makes sense. I used to feed him some milk, but this time, the little guy turned his head away and refused to drink.
Jiaming has a headache. What's wrong? What should she do?
Later, the little guy cried himself to sleep, and Jiaming was finally free from his annoying crying.
"Sigh, this is exhausting!" Jiaming gently patted the sleeping Xiao Hongxuan while wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
It's already December, and it's snowing. Jiaming is still sweating, which shows that she's been thoroughly tormented by this little guy, Xiao Hongxuan.
Because it was the dead of winter, Jiaming covered Xiao Hongxuan tightly with a small blanket and stayed by the little guy's side, afraid that he would catch a cold from crying in the cold winter.
So, he didn't leave the room when he ate, and simply had Hongtao bring him a bowl of noodles, which was considered lunch.
But Jiaming felt bored just quietly watching over the little guy.
She gently touched Hongxuan's forehead again, and after finding nothing wrong, she moved an embroidered stool and sat a little further away.
Jiaming always knew that Hongxuan slept soundly, so she asked Hongtao to call Xiao Hezi in and spoke to him quietly.
"What, is there still no news from the Fujin (wife's) side?"
Xiao Hezi said with a solemn expression, "Master, the people I sent to the main courtyard and Princess Wuya's courtyard all said that there was nothing wrong."
"Strange!" Jiaming raised an eyebrow, then lowered her eyes and pondered.
Madam, what exactly are you planning?
"Master, could it be that you've guessed wrong?" After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Hezi suddenly asked with a smile in his eyes.
"How so?" Jiaming looked up at Xiao Hezi and asked in return.
"Your Majesty, this is what I think. Could it be that the Fujin is deliberately targeting Princess Wuya on the surface, but actually, she's doing this for us, or perhaps for the others in the inner courtyard? And then, when everyone thinks the Fujin is going to deal with Princess Wuya, she's secretly targeting you, Princess Taoyuan, or the other mistresses in the inner courtyard."
Jiaming shook her head. "Impossible."
"Master?" Xiao Hezi asked, puzzled.
“You don’t know how I saw the Fujin in Yonghe Palace. It was as if she had a deep-seated hatred for Uya. I didn’t see it wrong. Even if I did, my keen senses wouldn’t deceive me. She really, really resented Uya. So, it’s impossible that the Fujin just openly warned Uya or verbally mocked her.”
"If that's the case, why has the Princess Consort remained silent in secret?" (To be continued.)
