The next day, Jiaming got up early and specially chose a moon-white cheongsam to wear.
Hongtao immediately praised, "Master, you look so good in this outfit, it suits you perfectly."
Upon hearing this, Jiaming raised an eyebrow, but she wasn't in a good mood about being praised.
She walked up to the mirror and frowned. She immediately sat down in front of the vanity mirror and applied powder puffs she had made herself.
Looking at herself in the mirror again, she was still not satisfied, so she continued to apply powder to her face.
Hongtao was a little confused. "Master, you're already fair enough. If you put on more powder, you'll look too pale."
"That's the effect I wanted," Jiaming said, continuing to apply powder.
"Huh?" Red Peach was still confused, looking at Green Willow beside her.
Green Willow shook her head, equally confused, indicating that she had no idea what her master was planning.
In front of the dressing mirror, Jiaming turned her face to the side, then to the side, looking at herself from left to right, until she was finally satisfied.
"Alright, let's go!" she said, standing up and walking towards the door first.
As she walked, she paused, raised her hands, and rubbed her eyes vigorously. After a while, she turned to look at Red Peach and Green Willow behind her and asked expectantly, "Are your eyes red?"
Red Peach and Green Willow still didn't understand why their master was going through all this trouble, but since their master had asked, they answered truthfully.
The two looked at Jiaming's eyes, nodded at the same time, and said in unison, "They're red."
"That's all." With that, Jiaming turned around and continued walking out.
As she walked, she instructed the two people behind her, "When I, your young master, am taking him to the front yard later, remember to persuade me to stay close. Also, be diligent and help your master."
Red Peach and Green Willow were completely bewildered, but since their master had given the order, they had to carry it out. They immediately replied in unison, "Understood, Master."
There's no limit to how confused I can get.
The master, who was full of energy just a moment ago, changed his expression instantly after meeting the young master, especially when Steward Su Peisheng came to take the young master to the front yard.
She is gentle and delicate, not at all pretentious, and extremely natural.
With tears in her eyes, Jiaming kept reminding Hongxuan to pay attention to this and that.
Seeing that it was almost time, Su Peisheng immediately interrupted, "Your Highness, the young prince should go now."
Jiaming's face was pale, and she looked reluctant, wanting to delay a little longer, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. In the end, she nodded and gave in.
"Then, Steward Su, thank you for your trouble." She said politely to Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng said respectfully, "No trouble at all. As your servant, I will naturally do what you have instructed."
Then, with Hongtao's help, Jiaming escorted Hongxuan all the way to the outside of Taoyuan before stopping.
She stood there, supported by Hongtao, watching Xiaoying leave with reluctance.
She didn't turn back until she could no longer see him for a while, after being persuaded by Red Peach and Green Willow.
"Ugh!" Jiaming groaned, unable to help but hold her bulging belly with both hands, her brows furrowed tightly.
"master!"
"master!"
The servants around him immediately noticed something was wrong and panicked.
Jiaming bit her lip, released the hand that was holding her stomach, then tightly gripped Hongtao and quickly uttered four words, "It's okay, let's go back."
On the way back, Jiaming was sweating profusely, her brows furrowed, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the red peach. She said, "It's so hot."
Hongtao couldn't stand it any longer and blurted out, "Really, Master, you clearly have something to do, this isn't just about saving face..."
"Shut up!" Jiaming weakly interrupted Hongtao.
Red Peach felt a little wronged, as she was clearly just showing concern for her master.
Back in the inner room, Jiaming immediately let go of Hongtao's hand, feeling full of energy.
Red Peach and Green Willow: "..."
"What, don't you know your master is putting on an act?" Jiaming said with a teasing look.
Red Peach and Green Willow were taken aback and shook their heads at the same time.
"Hehe, now you know!" With that, Jiaming immediately sat down, picked up a pastry, looked at Lvliu and continued, "But the show isn't over yet, there's more to come, now it's up to you, Lvliu."
"Me?" Green Willow pointed at herself in surprise.
Jiaming nodded. "It's you."
Acting alongside her master, Green Willow knew her master must have a premeditated plan. Just thinking about it made her excited, and she hurriedly asked, "Master, please give your orders."
Jiaming whispered a few words to Lvliu and then sent her out to carry them out.
In the small kitchen of Peach Garden, Green Willow secretly brews medicine, avoiding any outsiders.
She kept watch, and after a while, she poured the brewed medicine into a bowl, then secretly buried the dregs, and then took the bowl of medicine to the inner room where Jiaming was.
Suddenly, a maidservant appeared at the spot where the medicine dregs were buried. She lifted up the soil, turned over the dregs, wrapped some in a handkerchief, and then buried them back down. After looking around, she walked away as if no one else was there.
But she didn't see it; in a corner she couldn't see, but others could, there was someone staring intently.
"I suppose the news that your mistress is emotionally unstable and has had a miscarriage has spread!" Jiaming said as she watched Green Willow pour the medicine from the bowl into the vase in the inner room.
Speaking of this, her smile grew even brighter. "Tsk tsk, those women in the backyard are so easy to fool."
"Why did you put on this play, Master?" Red Peach asked, puzzled. "Those people won't stop just because you've upset your baby."
"Of course, it's for fun," Jiaming continued to laugh.
"happy?"
Red Peach and Green Willow exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
“It’s all for fun!” Jiaming said leisurely. “Hongtao, you’re right. They won’t stop because I’m having trouble with my pregnancy. On the contrary, they might become even more rampant.”
"Then why are you putting on this show to provoke them, Master?"
Jiaming gave her a look that said, "I want them to be even more arrogant. I don't think their methods will work."
Red Peach and Green Willow thought about it and realized that Little Hezi was guarding the outside, and their master was also capable. They immediately nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
"But what does this have to do with music?" Red Peach still didn't understand, and Green Willow also looked at her master with confusion.
Jiaming smiled slyly, "Just think about it, how do you feel when those people go through so much trouble to deal with someone, only to find it's all for nothing!"
Red Peach and Green Willow suddenly realized, "So, Master, you just wanted to see them have some fun."
"You're a promising student!" Jiaming nodded approvingly.
Red Peach and Green Willow couldn't help but feel sorry for the women in the backyard; they were really unlucky to have run into their master.
It would be bad enough if they were just doing useless work, but to be tricked by their own master without even realizing it is truly tragic!
Just as Jiaming had predicted, the Song family and others, unaware of their own predicament, were indeed extremely excited upon receiving the news, and they all began to rub their hands together in anticipation.
Unfortunately, it was destined that their efforts would be in vain.
