In short, there were many other things that were found that made the Fujin (principal wife) feel that Hesheli was inconsistent with her previous life and was very suspicious.
Of course, what made her most suspicious was that just yesterday, she vaguely heard Hesheli say to Honghui with great disdain: "That depends on whether this eldest prince can grow up to be an adult."
This led the Fujin (Prince Consort) to suspect that Hesheli possessed the ability to foresee the future. Reflecting on her own situation, Fujin Ulanara had reason to suspect that Hesheli was also a reincarnation.
.
As a result, she became increasingly wary and attentive to Empress Hesheli. In fact, with her growing indifference towards the Fourth Prince Hongxuan, she had now listed Empress Hesheli as a key target for her vigilance.
Therefore, she was very grateful to the Fourth Prince for allowing Hesheli to have contraception for a few years, so that Hesheli would not have children and would not cause chaos in the inner quarters.
"Should I eliminate this problem completely and make it impossible for Hesheli to conceive?" After learning about Hesheli's predicament, the princess murmured to herself in the direction of the Lotus Courtyard when she was alone.
After a moment of contemplation, a cold glint flashed in Consort Ulanara's eyes. "Let's make our move! Now is the perfect time. Even if the master finds out, he won't react much. After all, I haven't crossed his line. If I harm his offspring, he'll at most treat me coldly. Otherwise, once she's pregnant, it will be inconvenient for me to do it because of the master."
Undercurrents were swirling in the backyard. Jiaming wasn't blind or deaf; thanks to Xiao Hezi's excellent intelligence work, she quickly discovered the situation.
What she could see now was that the Fujin (principal wife) was keeping her distance from Taoyuan, while Hesheli was secretly making moves against Taoyuan, no longer targeting the Fujin and Li Shi as before.
It's unclear what she intends to do, and according to Xiao Hezi, Li Shi's people are actually cooperating with Hesheli Shi, so it's very likely that the two of them have joined forces.
Oh, right, and there's also Lady Uya, who seems quite interested in everything about the First Prince Honghui. And then there's Lady Song and Lady Zhang; although they're targeting Lady Uya as usual at the behest of the Fujin, they seem quite interested in our place too, always sending people here to gather information.
However, who knows if this is just a facade?
Hehe, the situation in this backyard is getting more and more interesting!
Jiaming sighed inwardly, then quickly tossed the snack aside and enthusiastically started teasing Xiao Hongxuan with some treats he could eat.
Ever since tasting the delicious food, Xiao Hongxuan has become completely fond of it. No sooner has he had his fill than the little guy stares with his big, round eyes, waving his chubby little hands, trying to snatch the snacks that Jiaming is holding and teasing him.
But how could a little kid like him possibly outmaneuver Jiaming, who was an adult? Even after struggling for a while, he still couldn't get his hands on the snacks.
Little Hongxuan, lying on the tatami mat panting with his mouth open, looked at Jiaming with a mournful gaze, or rather, at the pastries in her hand.
Waaah, I want to eat cake! My mother is such a bad girl, she won't let me eat cake!
Xiao Hezi and Hongtao looked at their young master with pity; they couldn't bear to witness such a cruel scene.
So, the quick-thinking Xiao Hezi immediately diverted Jiaming's attention, "Master, the situation in the backyard is so complicated, what should we do?"
As Xiao Hezi spoke, he thought to himself: Now, the master will no longer be in the mood to tease the poor little master!
Reminded by Xiao Hezi, Hongtao's worry, which had been hidden because of her young master's pitiful state, suddenly resurfaced, and she became tense, looking at Jiaming with a nervous expression.
Jiaming didn't take Xiao Hezi's question seriously. She continued to mischievously wave the delicious snacks in front of Xiao Hongxuan, who was lying on the tatami mat. Then, under Xiao Hongxuan's watchful eye, she took a big bite, swallowed it with relish, and slowly said, "What's so complicated about it? Not at all. What's there to worry about?"
As she spoke, Jiaming ignored Xiao Hezi and Hongtao, who were watching her nervously, and continued to provoke her exhausted son, Hongxuan.
.
It's still more fun to tease my son, haha!
That laugh really made Xiao Hongxuan furious!
The little guy's eyes were no longer filled with resentment; his little face was tense, and he glared coldly at his wicked mother, Jiaming, just like the Fourth Master.
Mother is so mean! She won't give Gao Gao any food, and she even laughs at Hong Xuan!
Hmph, I'll glare at you, glare at you again, and glare at you again and again!
That's how Father glares, and it's quite powerful. Su Peisheng and Gao Wuyong became obedient because of Father's slap.
"Pfft!" Jiaming burst out laughing.
This chubby boy is so cute imitating my cold face, hehe!
Xiao Hezi and Hongtao, who were standing nearby, also thought that no matter how many times they saw their young master imitating the prince's stern face and glaring expression, it was very cute.
However, when the two saw that their young master's glaring was ineffective and he looked aggrieved and pouty after being laughed at, they felt extremely sorry for him and tightened their faces again, no longer smiling.
Then, actively helping his young master to continue diverting Jiaming's attention, Xiao Hezi spoke up again: "Master, we really can't be careless. The undercurrents in the backyard are surging and complicated. If you accidentally fall into a trap, it will be too late to regret it."
He wasn't just saying it casually; he genuinely had this concern deep down.
"Yes, Master!" Hongtao echoed, trying to reassure Jiaming. In truth, she was also very worried. The water in the backyard was getting increasingly murky, making it difficult to see clearly who was attacking and to dodge accordingly.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful and won't be careless."
Although Jiaming was also suspicious that Hesheli was targeting her, it did not stop her from being wary and vigilant.
“Xiao Hezi, don’t worry about whether they’re targeting me or not. Just make sure our people are on guard against everyone.” After saying that, Jiaming suddenly stopped and said, “I misunderstood. We have limited manpower; how can we guard against everyone?”
After saying that, Jiaming began to concentrate on thinking.
At that very moment, Xiao Hongxuan's clear black eyes darted around, a cunning glint in them. While Jiaming was deep in thought, he continued to sit up slowly and dejectedly from his position lying on the couch.
As Jiaming focused on her thoughts, a flicker of emotion crossed her eyes, but she continued to maintain her composed demeanor, oblivious to her surroundings and deep in thought.
Before Xiao Hongxuan could even sit down properly, he swiftly reached out his chubby little hand and snatched the pastry that Jiaming had just taken a bite of.
The crumbs of the pastry scattered all over the place. Xiao Hongxuan looked at the pastry, which had been shrunk to almost half its original size after he had snatched it away, and then at the crumbs scattered on the tatami mat. His little face tightened, and he was clearly unhappy.
He glared at Jiaming again, and thought, "It's all Mother's fault. Otherwise, I would have been able to eat even more cakes."
When Xiao Hongxuan glared at her like that, Jiaming immediately narrowed her big, bright eyes and looked at the half-eaten pastry in his hand with ill intent.
The scare tactic worked. The little guy, though unhappy, was afraid that Jiaming would snatch the snack back, so he quickly stuffed the snack into his little mouth, covered the snack and his mouth with his chubby little hands, and stared at Jiaming warily with his dark eyes.
