What if we were to climb up to the Hesheli clan?
A glint flashed in the Fujin's eyes; she would not allow it.
As for taking Lady Geng under her wing, the Fujin had considered it, but it was not an option.
It's not that she's afraid she can't control the Geng family; if the Niohuru family could in her previous life, so can she.
It's unnecessary, after all, it would be bad for her to personally act as a pimp for her husband.
Furthermore, once Lady Geng gives birth to the young prince, given Hongzhou's "nature" from the previous life, and if the upbringing plan from the previous life continues, a playful prince will never be able to surpass Honghui.
Therefore, even though she knew that, on a personal level, Lady Geng was more cunning than Lady Niohuru, she still feared Lady Niohuru, not Lady Geng.
Because a woman without power cannot protect the young prince's upbringing.
It's hard for children to learn good things, but easy for them to learn bad things. As long as there's a crack, someone can slip in and lay a trap. It's very difficult to control how a child will eventually grow up.
In his past life, wasn't Hongzhou led into this kind of playful escapade, only to be abandoned by his master from the very beginning?
Hongshi was also lured away by the neighboring household in the same way.
However, speaking of this, it wasn't that no one tried to tempt Hongxuan, the fourth prince of the Guarjia clan, but none of them succeeded. That boy had a good sense of self-control.
Thinking about it, the Fujin's gaze towards Jiaming became serious.
Fine tea?
Her acting skills are quite good, and she didn't stand out too much, so why is the Fujin looking at her like that?
Could it be that his acting skills have declined because he hasn't had to pay his respects to the Princess Consort for several months and hasn't been acting? Has it been noticed?
The thought of this possibility made Jiaming's heart skip a beat, and she became even more cautious.
Just then, the way the Fujin looked at Jiaming suddenly changed again. The seriousness disappeared, and she returned to her normal expression. She even gave Jiaming a smile at the end.
Fine tea?
The Princess Consort is really acting strangely. What is she doing?
Jiaming couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Even if Lady Guarjia had any ideas, Hongxuan wouldn't cooperate. He just stood behind Honghui and had a good relationship with him. Haha, all his efforts were in vain.
Moreover, it seems that Lady Guarjia did not teach Hongxuan any nonsense, otherwise, because the Fourth Prince Hongxuan is young and not so deep, he would not be able to control his behavior.
For example, Hongshi, although he appeared quite friendly with Honghui on the surface, could never control his jealousy. His eyes weren't well concealed; how could she not see it? Moreover, the servants had privately told her that they had heard him say he was jealous of Honghui.
Hongxuan, on the other hand, never experienced any of these things as a child.
At first, she had her doubts, after all, Hongxuan seemed too honest.
However, given the precedent of how the Thirteenth Brother treated the Fourth Prince, it's entirely possible that Hongxuan would treat Honghui the same way. And his handling of Honghui's illness during this inspection tour only made her more inclined to believe that Hongxuan would be a second Thirteenth Brother.
Since that's the case, she's willing to give Guarjia some face.
So she smiled at Guarjia, a smile that seemed genuine.
Ke Jiaming felt completely bewildered! After all, the Fujin (principal wife) hadn't been very friendly to her before, and this felt a bit like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.
Her mind was filled with all sorts of wild thoughts, but fortunately, she was quick-witted and soon remembered what Hongxuan had mentioned in his letter: that the First Prince had suddenly fallen ill, and his men had panicked, but he had managed to calm the situation and promptly send someone to fetch the imperial physician to save the First Prince.
It is probably because of this that the Fujin (princess's wife) treated her kindly and her smiles didn't seem so fake.
After figuring it out, Jiaming felt relieved and stopped overthinking.
After saying a few words to everyone, the Princess Consort said, "I brought back quite a few things from this trip. It's not convenient to distribute them here, so I'll send someone to deliver them to you later."
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam!" Jiaming and the others bowed to Madam again to express their gratitude for the reward.
The princess waved her hand, then said wearily, "I'm a little tired, you may all go back now!"
Seeing that the Fujin had spoken and that the Fourth Prince was not returning, and unable to see the person they wanted to see, they immediately took their leave one by one.
When they returned to Taoyuan, Jiaming carried Hongjing back as always.
Along the way, Hongjing was a little confused at first, but he recovered halfway through. After looking around with his little head, he started to make a fuss with Jiaming.
"Guoguo, Guoguo?" The little one glared at Jiaming, her little mouth pouting high, kicking Jiaming with her little legs as she accused her in a childish voice, "Liar, bad!"
Mingming said that her brother was back, but where is he?
I didn't see her at all. Mother is a big liar and a big bad guy!
Jiaming had no choice but to stop and hug the little one tightly, afraid that the little one might kick and break free from her embrace and fall to the ground.
“I’m not lying to you, your brother is back, but he went back to his own place first. He’ll come to see us later, didn’t your stepmother just say that?” Jiaming quickly explained to the little guy.
However, this cannot be blamed on Xiao Hongjing's fuss; he simply did not hear or understand what his wife said.
After all, the little guy was a bit sleepy at that time, and his attention was not focused. He didn't pay attention, and he was also young. Even if he had heard it, he probably wouldn't have understood it. Besides, he didn't pay attention, so he didn't know.
"Guoguo?" The little guy blinked his doubtful eyes at Jiaming, as if he doubted whether what Jiaming said was true, or if she was lying to him again.
After all, he hadn't seen his older brother. His mother had said that his brother would be back today, and he could see him if he went to pick him up. He had gotten up early to wait, but his brother wasn't there.
Jiaming said in a serious tone, "I'm really not lying to you, your brother will be coming to see you in a little while."
The little one, who had been tricked before, still didn't seem to believe it. He turned his head away from Jiaming, his little mouth still pouting, still unhappy.
Jiaming, somewhat amused and exasperated, gently turned his little head back, bringing them close together face to face. She spoke each word with utmost sincerity, saying, "Really, I'm not lying to you, your 'Guoguo' will be here soon."
Then, she used her hand to turn Hongjing's head toward the red peach and green willow trees beside him, so that he could look at them, before saying, "If you don't believe me, ask the red peach and the others. They also heard your stepmother say that your eldest brother will be coming over later."
"real?"
The little guy didn't say it, but his eyes conveyed the same meaning.
Hongtao and Lvliu immediately nodded, "Yes, Fourth Prince will be here soon."
The little one was silent for a while, seemingly believing it, before finally giving Jiaming a smile and ceasing his fuss.
Jiaming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, this little devil seems to have a smart brother who isn't easily fooled. It was easy to explain things to him.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do with a child's tantrums and unreasonable crying.
