Because of Emperor Kangxi and Consort De's fondness for Xiao Hongxuan, they released people in Taoyuan Courtyard so that Jiaming could take good care of this chubby boy.
And Jiaming also received some protection from them, more or less, because of this little guy Hongxuan.
As for the Fujin, she could only return to Duanyuan and grit her teeth to complain about Consort De's meddling. Her plan to launch another major attack was abruptly halted because she was worried that Consort De's people might discover something.
Jiaming, completely unaware that the Fujin had once harbored such thoughts, inwardly complained about the Fujin's constant harassment and grew impatient whenever she thought about it, while happily teasing Xiao Hongxuan.
.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hongxuan is already five months old.
It's said that children should roll over at three months and sit up at six months, but little Hongxuan was able to sit steadily much earlier than expected. So, the little guy, who could only lie down before, has taken his flirting skills to a whole new level after developing the skill of sitting.
If the little guy is lying down, he'll sit up in a flash the moment he sees Jiaming or Fourth Master. His nimble movements show he's very skilled and steady.
A captivating, warm smile instantly appeared on his face. At the same time, he opened his arms and leaned forward, as if excitedly welcoming Jiaming or Fourth Master's arrival. Simultaneously, he was also asking for a hug, which was incredibly cute and impossible to refuse.
With his new skills, the little guy, with the help of Fourth Master, started a new business.
At this time, the only masters living in the front yard, besides the Fourth Master who sometimes lived there, were Prince Honghui, who had just recovered from his illness and was forcibly moved here by the Fourth Master.
The reason why Fourth Master sometimes had Su Peisheng or Gao Wuyong come to Peach Courtyard to bring Xiao Hongxuan to the front yard was that he intended for his offspring to love each other from a young age and cultivate their relationship.
In his opinion, Hongxuan is so lovable, Honghui will definitely like this cute little brother and get along well with him.
Sure enough, the two brothers got along very well on their very first meeting, despite their incomprehensible communication.
As for the Fujin, because Honghui often spoke well of Hongxuan to her, Jiaming never stopped the Fourth Prince from taking Hongxuan to Honghui to cultivate their relationship. Furthermore, she learned from the Fourth Prince that he was helping Honghui in his cultivation.
After a while, the Fujin gradually calmed down, and the troubles from the main courtyard in Taoyuan also gradually disappeared.
Afterwards, Jiaming and the Fujin met again, and subtly, the Fujin's gaze towards Jiaming was no longer as cold and cutting as before.
Little Hongxuan had no idea that he had become Jiaming's lucky star. Today, he was happily waving his chubby little hands and glaring at his short legs, dressed in unusually childlike clothes.
When Jiaming personally carried the little one to the carriage, the little one became unusually excited. He clapped his little hands together, as if applauding.
Xiao Hongxuan was truly excited. Although he was only five months old, he still remembered that every time he entered this carriage, he would see his mother and grandfather who were exceptionally fond of him.
With an excellent memory, although he can't speak yet, he can already recognize people. He knows who his father, mother, mother, grandfather, and elder brother are.
Moreover, he also knew that he was Hongxuan, Fatty Boy, Little Guy.
When little Hongxuan was brought into the palace, he quickly won over Consort De, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes who came to pay their respects, and Emperor Kangxi, who happened to be visiting Yonghe Palace again, with his adorable new skill of wanting to be cuddled while sitting.
One by one, they all reached out and hugged the little guy, and played a game of smearing each other's saliva with him.
It is said that if you don't want others to know, you shouldn't do it. Even though Emperor Kangxi was very careful not to let anyone discover that he had held little Hongxuan, nor did he let anyone know that he had played the game of smearing each other's saliva with this chubby grandson, he would go to Yonghe Palace every time little Hongxuan attacked. This inevitably made everyone speculate about Emperor Kangxi's affection for little Hongxuan.
This naturally includes the wife of Emperor Kangxi, who could see Emperor Kangxi every time she brought Hongxuan and Jiaming to the palace.
The princess consort, who was resting in a side hall of Yonghe Palace, looked at Jiaming with extremely complicated eyes and a very unpleasant expression.
.
The gaze that was directed at Jiaming quickly shifted away. Liu, the old woman serving her, didn't notice at all. She only knew that the Fourth Princess Consort's expression had suddenly turned bad, so she asked with great concern, "Princess Consort, are you alright?"
It's nothing? How could it be nothing?! It's a big deal!
Thinking about it, he glanced angrily at Jiaming again, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
"Granny, you said..." The Fourth Princess Consort, who was just about to speak her mind, suddenly stopped and stopped talking.
"Fujin?" Granny Liu looked at Fujin in confusion. Judging from her words just now, she clearly had something to ask her. Why did she suddenly stop?
"It's nothing!" The princess's expression changed, and she glanced at the palace maid waiting in the side hall. Then, she casually shook the teacup in her hand and said, "Pour me another cup of tea."
Although the Fujin did not reveal anything to Liu Mama, Jiaming, who was also waiting in the side hall and had received many terrifying looks from the Fujin, was about 80% certain that the Fujin's bad complexion was related to her.
Sure enough, after that, the way the princess looked at her became increasingly cold.
Jiaming felt a surge of frustration. Did the Fujin (principal wife) have to change her attitude so quickly? She had only enjoyed ten or fifteen days of peace and quiet, and now she was about to be back to square one, once again caught in the troubles created by the Fujin.
I really don't know what she was thinking just now that made her decide not to let herself off the hook again.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. There's no trace or clue, so thinking about it is pointless.
Moreover, taking advantage of the fact that the Fujin was not paying attention and no one else was looking in her direction, Jiaming glared at the Fujin with annoyance.
Then, when the Fujin glared at her with her icy gaze again, Jiaming calmly picked up her snacks and ate them with great enjoyment, as if she hadn't noticed the Fujin's chilling gaze at all.
She felt no discomfort whatsoever. For the first time, she had been ignored so completely under someone's intense gaze, yet she remained so calm and composed. The Fujin's hand holding the handkerchief tightened suddenly, and her gaze towards Jiaming was icy yet fiery.
The angry Fujin was instantly swept away by impulse, disregarding the fact that this was Yonghe Palace's territory. She instantly unleashed the imposing aura she had cultivated as an empress in her previous life, and in a moment, she pressed down on Jiaming.
Although Jiaming was surprised by the strong aura of the Fujin, she did not show it on her face at all, as if her whole mind was focused on the two plates of beautiful and delicious pastries.
This tactic, which has always worked, almost always makes the Fujin (the wife of the emperor) unleash her full aura. Even the most composed person would feel uneasy. However, Jiaming's reaction shows that the Fujin's aura is merely superficial and is quite a slap in the face to the Fujin, which makes the Fujin feel very aggrieved.
She twisted the handkerchief tightly with both hands; her eyes, her expression, her movements—no matter how you looked at her, she seemed incredibly aggrieved.
Ke Jiaming caught a glimpse of the scene with the Fujin out of the corner of her eye. She felt happy no matter how frustrated the Fujin was! So, in the instant she lowered her head and concealed her grievances, a smile flashed in her eyes.
It's frustrating, isn't it? How can you always be the one to mess with me while I can only silently endure it?
It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it in advance.
As for why it's "to store" instead of "to accept with a smile," that's too much to ask of you, so I won't make that request! (To be continued.)
