"Master, there's news again!" Xiao Hezi excitedly ran over to report to Jiaming.
Jiaming wasn't very interested, focusing intently on the sliced watermelon in front of her, occasionally feeding her youngest son, Hongjing.
Xiao Hezi waited and waited, only to find that his master was ignoring him.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, she spoke again, "Master, there's news again." Perhaps her master hadn't heard her clearly just now? Otherwise, given her master's love of watching the drama unfold, he would have already eagerly pressed her for answers, just like a few days ago.
Jiaming glanced at Xiao Hezi, slowly swallowed what was in her mouth, and then slowly said, "Is it going to be Li Shufu and Hesheli Cefu again vying to win over Geng Gege, and then Song Gege, Wu Gege and others stirring things up?"
After saying that, before Xiao Hezi could speak, he said with a look of disinterest, "If it's all the same, then there's no need to say anything. It's been like this for the past few days. I'm tired of seeing this kind of show."
Xiao Hezi laughed and said, "Master, you've guessed wrong. This time, there's a new development."
"Oh!" Jiaming immediately became interested, sat up straight, and looked like she was listening attentively.
Xiao Hezi: "At first, Consort Li and Consort Hesheli approached Lady Geng one after the other to have tea at the garden pavilion, but before Lady Song and the others arrived, Lady Geng refused Consort Li and officially pledged allegiance to Consort Hesheli."
"Oh, the Geng family has actually sided with the Hesheli family!" Jiaming murmured, but in an instant, she had a guess about the Geng family's intentions.
Xiao Hezi nodded. "Yes, after Geng Gege rejected Consort Li and clearly pledged allegiance to Consort Hesheli, Consort Li's face turned extremely ugly."
"Tsk!" Jiaming imagined Li's feelings at that time and felt quite comfortable at the moment, as if she had eaten a piece of frozen watermelon.
Xiao Hezi continued: "After Song Gege and the others arrived and learned of Geng Gege's answer, Li Shufujin was ridiculed in various ways and immediately turned her face away and left."
"Tsk, Geng had already offended Li, and with Song and the others getting involved, Li will definitely resent Geng even more."
Xiao Hezi nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. When Consort Li left, she glared fiercely at Lady Geng. Even our scouts could feel that hostility from afar. Lady Geng's face turned extremely ugly at that time."
"Since she made the decision, she knew she would offend others terribly, especially the Li family. Tsk, why is she still giving them such a hard time!" Jiaming couldn't help but complain.
Hongtao, who was also listening nearby, said speechlessly, "Master, that Geng Gege is not you."
Xiao Hezi and Lvliu nodded in agreement with Hongtao's words.
My master is incredibly calm. I always feel that even when he's not calm, it's just an act.
Unaware that the truth had been revealed, Jiaming, upon hearing her trusted confidante praise her so highly, did not feign modesty and readily agreed.
"That's right. Your master has a very good mental fortitude. Even if Geng Shi cultivates for a long time, he might not be able to catch up."
Just then, Jiaming felt that the watermelon stick she was holding had been moved.
She glanced down and noticed that the watermelon had been bitten in.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of little Hongjing in her arms, his little mouth smacking, moist with watermelon juice!
Suddenly, she understood something: it was obvious that the little guy had secretly taken a bite out of her watermelon.
Jiaming looked at the watermelon in the little guy's hand with a puzzled expression, wondering why the little guy didn't eat his own watermelon but instead bit the one in her hand.
Confused, Jiaming asked, "Why aren't you eating yours, but your mother's?"
After munching on the watermelon, Xiao Hongjing said in his childish voice, "Uh, look, Jingjing."
"Is your mother here to see you?" Jiaming still didn't understand what the little guy meant.
Xiao Hongjing smiled and said, "Uh, Jingjing."
Jiaming: "..." So he was jealous again, feeling ignored, so he ate his own watermelon to get his attention and attention.
"Hey, eat!" The little guy eagerly handed the watermelon he had eaten to Jiaming, sharing his favorite food.
Jiaming poked Xiao Hongjing's forehead with her finger, speechless. "Little jealousy!" Then, she lowered her head and, without any disgust, took a bite of the watermelon that the little guy had eaten.
Then, in return, he fed the little guy a bite of the watermelon he was holding.
Now, the little guy won't feel like his mother is ignoring him, right?
Sure enough, the little guy was very happy to eat watermelon with his mother and didn't care about what had been ignored earlier.
The time it took for the Fujin (princess) to receive the news was roughly the same as when Jiaming received it.
However, she wasn't as calm as Jiaming; she simply watched the show and offered her opinions.
When she first heard that Lady Geng had rejected Consort Li and sided with Lady Hesheli, she was both flustered and extremely eager to sabotage the relationship between Lady Geng and Lady Hesheli.
Not only that, she immediately summoned her confidants to discuss how to sabotage the relationship between the two.
Her confidante was very puzzled. Wasn't it just that Lady Geng had sided with Consort Hesheli? Consort Hesheli was not favored, she had a title but no love and no children, she was not even as good as Consort Li and Consort Guarjia!
Besides, Madam Geng is also an unfavored woman without children, and she's still a princess. What is there to be afraid of?
However, seeing how flustered and anxious the princess was, they figured there was something they didn't know. So, after exchanging glances, the confidantes put their doubts aside and began to think of a solution for the princess.
Just as they were discussing the matter and had basically made up their minds, the Princess Consort suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Let's drop this matter; there's no need for it."
"Madam, why is this?" Granny Liu couldn't help but ask first.
Liu Hong, Yao Huang, and the others were also puzzled and looked at the Fujin with questioning eyes.
The princess was very calm at this moment, just like always, as if she wasn't the one who had been flustered and anxious just now.
"I misunderstood just now. That Hesheli clan is not... Even if Geng clan members sided with her, so what? Without a child, they have no destiny."
She knew that Hesheli had been drugged by the master's men; ha, she could forget about having her own child for the rest of her life. Even if Geng sided with her, she wasn't Niohuru, capable of giving birth to a Hongli.
"Madam, what did you just say about Hesheli clan?" asked Granny Liu.
The Princess Consort said, “You don’t need to know. All you need to know is that Hesheli is destined to have no children. Without children, there’s no way to compete for them.”
Granny Liu and the others seemed to understand, but since their master didn't explain, they didn't ask.
