However, the little guy wasn't satisfied with just that. His bright black eyes stared at Jiaming's fluffy collar, looking eager to pounce.
In fact, the little guy did struggle, but he was wrapped up and couldn't move at all.
Even if he could, Jiaming wouldn't allow him to do it. Although it was already the second year of the Lunar New Year, the weather was still cold, and snow was still falling. Even though she knew that this chubby boy, like her, wasn't particularly afraid of the cold, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid of it at all. So, she still had to be careful.
.
A few minutes later, Jiaming carried Xiao Hongxuan out of the Peach Courtyard and headed towards the main courtyard.
Although Jiaming had taken Xiao Hongxuan to the main courtyard to pay her respects, the scenery along the way was different from that of Taoyuan Courtyard. Although the little guy had seen all of these places before, he was still very interested.
The little head turned, and the clever black eyes darted around, taking in everything around it.
Of course, when faced with people he doesn't like, or when his gaze falls on someone, the little guy will give that person a cold glance, then look away, too lazy to look at that person.
Every time Jiaming saw the child's cold gaze, the corners of her mouth would curl up wide, and her eyes would be full of laughter.
It was just too adorable that his pink and delicate face, so much like the Fourth Prince's, was making a show of himself.
Just as Jiaming was admiring her own adorable daughter, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Zhang Gege, who had previously openly mocked her for being "colorless and who knows what tricks she used to bewitch the master." Her lips twitched immediately.
At this moment, Zhang Gege wore the same vulgar and jealous expression as when she first entered the mansion.
Jiaming felt a twitch at the corner of her mouth, followed by a pain in her eyes.
Despite spending so much time in the backyard, this princess hasn't improved at all. She doesn't even realize that her current expression is detrimental to her image as a cool and aloof fairy (without a trace of worldly concerns).
While Jiaming was harboring various complaints about Zhang, Zhang was also harboring complaints about Jiaming in her heart.
It's just that one is very good at concealing his true intentions, while the other is not good at it and is not very good at it.
Therefore, Jiaming easily understood the unspoken thoughts behind Zhang's expression.
Zhang looked at her and Xiao Hongxuan with jealousy and ugliness, but after a while, when the other party saw Hesheli's figure, she found that the other party's expression when looking at her and her child had changed.
That expression, that look in his eyes, was absolutely gloating. Add to that the haughty, schadenfreude that followed, and Jiaming understood perfectly well that this person was clearly saying: "Hmph, the Hesheli clan is about to make their move. Let's see how you dare to gloat over me now. Heh, maybe..."
What an idiot who can't even hide his true feelings!
I have no idea how she wasn't cannon fodder in the backyard. Well, it seems that maybe she's just lucky. Maybe those women in the backyard didn't think she deserved to be cannon fodder!
Jiaming once again labeled Zhang Shi in her mind, then glanced at Zhang Shi sideways, gave a polite bow, ignored her completely, and paid no attention to the figure of Hesheli Shi that appeared in the distance. She then strode forward and continued walking towards the main courtyard.
Looking at Jiaming, who was once again showing disdain for her, Zhang couldn't keep up the gloating expression on her face. Her once ethereal face twisted into something ugly and frightening.
Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant. With Consort Hesheli making her move, plus the other women taking advantage of the situation, I don't believe you can escape.
At this moment, in the main courtyard, Consort Ulanara was already fully dressed, stroking her teacup, smiling gently, and eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle of greetings.
The last time she looked forward to it this much was when Lady Guarjia entered the mansion. As for Lady Hesheli entering the mansion, Honghui was sick at that time, so she couldn't look forward to it.
But I digress. As the primary consort, she wielded considerable power in the inner court. She was fully aware of Hesheli's plan to deal with Guarjia, and whether others were trying to take advantage of the situation or even fueling it.
.
The high and mighty Consort Ulanara, who enjoyed watching the various power struggles among the women in the inner quarters, said that it suited her perfectly. However, there was one imperfection: Consort Nayuya actually wanted to harm Honghui!
This is outrageous! In her past life, Honghui was killed by her poison. In this life, she didn't eliminate her completely, but only made her unable to conceive. She let her go like this, yet she is so ungrateful!
Thinking this, a cold glint flashed in the Fujin's eyes, and she slammed the teacup she was holding down.
"Bang!"
He thought to himself: "Uya, it's best you didn't make a move, otherwise, the moment you did will be the moment you die."
As for Consort De behind Uya, Fujin Ulanara said that she had fallen out with her in her previous life. So what if she and the prince have a good relationship now? In her previous life, their relationship was also quite good at the beginning, but they still fell out in the end.
Hmph, since in the past life, when he learned that Honghui had been killed by Wuya, he resented Consort De for protecting Wuya, then in this life, as long as she tells him that Wuya was planning to harm Honghui, no matter how angry Consort De is with her or how much she wants to protect Wuya, he will cover for her, even if it means turning against Consort De.
At that moment, the Fujin's eyes flashed, and she thought to herself: "However, the more favored Consort De is by the Peach Courtyard, the more the master will take his anger out on her."
For a moment, the Fujin even felt that as long as she took proper precautions, it would be better for Lady Wuya to make a move.
However, the Fujin, who prioritized Honghui's safety, felt that it was better to be safe than sorry, so in the end, she decided that it was best not to make a move against Wuya.
Just as the Fujin was pondering various things, Jiaming, carrying Hongxuan, led Hongtao to the main hall of the main courtyard.
As before, she saw that the concubines and princesses of similar status had arrived in twos and threes. Li, Zhang, Hesheli, and Wuya were still missing.
Oh, of course the Fujin (wife of the emperor) didn't arrive either, but as the principal wife, she was usually the last to arrive.
Jiaming didn't care what the people in the hall were thinking or what they were looking at. She quickly gave Song a polite bow and then loosened the swaddling clothes that were tightly wrapped around Xiao Hongxuan.
I can finally move!
The little guy, who was a bit unhappy about being restricted along the way, was very eager to completely escape the constraints of the swaddling clothes that wrapped him in.
In the hall, Song Shi and the others looked at the strong Fourth Prince Hongxuan, who was struggling, with eyes like wolves, wanting to snatch the little guy away.
Unfortunately, this was the son of the Guarjia clan.
The next moment, Song and the others looked at Jiaming with unspeakable jealousy in their eyes. How could it be Guarjia's son, and not their own son?
Even if it's not a son, having a daughter would be fine too!
Amidst the envious gazes of the women, Zhang, Li, and Wuya entered through the door. Each of them glanced at Jiaming before bowing to her or asking her to perform a half-bow.
As for Hesheli, she was the last to arrive. Like Li and the others, she first glanced at Jiaming before withdrawing her gaze, which she thought was being discreetly observed, after everyone had bowed to her.
