In the Prince Ping's residence, everyone knows that the one who truly makes the decisions is neither the Prince Ping himself, nor the young master Fu Hanlai, but rather the Princess Ping, who appears to be good-tempered, well-mannered, and a model of a wife.
When she actually made the decision, neither Prince Ping nor his son Fu Hanlai could do anything about it.
They didn't even dare to plead for themselves.
Especially after the father and son discussed the matter together in the front yard that evening and learned what had happened, they dared not provoke the princess at this time.
After shifting blame among themselves, the father and son finally rested.
The next morning, both father and son were yawning. They got up before dawn and went to the backyard.
"Kangtai, go and send a letter to Ling Chun at the Prince's Mansion in the capital. Tell him this and that, and ask him to make arrangements as soon as possible." Despite feeling tired, Fu Hanlai returned to the courtyard and sat for a while before suddenly summoning Kangtai and giving him this instruction.
After listening, Kang Tai's expression was a little strange, but he quickly agreed, took the letter that Fu Hanlai had just written, and left the house before the ink had dried.
Green Ivy had just returned from the small kitchen and was about to serve Jiang Xuelin when she saw Kang Tai about to leave. She casually asked him what was going on. Kang Tai was a little embarrassed when he saw Green Ivy and didn't dare to explain too clearly. He only said that the young master had asked him to send a letter back to the capital.
After returning home, Green Ivy mentioned this matter to Jiang Xuelin.
Jiang Xuelin was practicing her martial arts under the watchful eye of her nanny when she heard that Fu Hanlai had sent Kang Tai to deliver a message to the capital. Her movements immediately paused, and the expression on her face became subtle.
"Green Ivy, send a letter back to the Prince's mansion. Tell them that no matter what the young master orders, they don't need to pay attention or write to inquire. Just tell the nanny to cooperate."
Green Ivy was surprised to hear this, but quickly agreed.
Fu Hanlai originally thought that this situation wouldn't last long. Once Princess Ping calmed down and allowed his father to return, he would be released as well.
Coincidentally, Prince Ping thought the same thing. He also felt that it wouldn't last long. Once Princess Ping calmed down from Fu Hanlai, he wouldn't have to watch over this troublesome son anymore. At that time, he could naturally come back and live with the Princess.
Unfortunately, this time both father and son underestimated the determination of Princess Ping.
During the day, Fu Hanlai could visit Jiang Xuelin, and the two would go out together for fun. Life couldn't be more comfortable. But once night fell, Fu Hanlai would definitely be sent by the nanny to the front yard to accompany Prince Ping. The father and son could only live together and dislike each other.
Even after the Emperor's southern tour ended and he returned to the capital, they still couldn't change Princess Ping's mind.
Father and son: "..."

For Fu Hanlai, it was fine during the day; he could stay by Jiang Xuelin's side and notice any of her reactions immediately. But what about at night? Jiang Xuelin wasn't used to having someone in the house.
Things should get better when we get back to Beijing, right?
Then, as soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Princess Ping had all of Fu Hanlai's belongings sent to the small study in Qiutang Courtyard, and left a message with him.
"Shou doesn't want to keep sleeping in the front yard, does he?"
At least this little study is in Qiutang Courtyard, not even outside the courtyard. But if you were to live in the front yard, that would be quite far.
"Mother, please rest assured. Your son now understands and will certainly not do what he did before. Staying in the small study is fine too." Upon hearing this, Fu Hanlai immediately assured her that he would never climb out of the window. "You can have someone guard the window. Your son truly knows his mistake now and will certainly not trouble you like before."
Princess Ping narrowed her eyes, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. "That would be best."
In fact, Princess Ping's heart was not as it appeared. Jiang Xuelin was now six months pregnant, but her belly was quite large. Although Jiang Xuelin had not had any symptoms and ate and drank as usual, and had never encountered the difficulties that other pregnant women would experience, Princess Ping was still uneasy.
Because Jiang Xuelin's belly was quite large, the imperial physician had already said that there were two children inside.
Pregnancy is already difficult for women, and childbirth is like stepping into the gates of hell. Having two fetuses would be even more dangerous.
The saying "The mother runs to her death, the son runs to his life" perfectly describes this situation.
That's why she's become even more cautious.
Coincidentally, Fu Hanlai thought the same thing.
Jiang Xuelin couldn't sleep if there was someone in the room. It was only because Fu Hanlai had made her used to his presence that she could sleep. But now that Fu Hanlai couldn't be with her, even though there were maids and servants guarding the door, someone would immediately come in as soon as Jiang Xuelin made a sound. Fu Hanlai was still uneasy.
Jiang Xuelin herself didn't really think it was anything.
The child wasn't fussy, and apart from changes in taste and occasional nausea, she really didn't feel any hardship, probably because she was in very good health.
If she weren't in good health, she wouldn't have come back with the emperor. It was because she understood her own condition and missed Lady Jing'an that she came back with the emperor.
Qiutang Courtyard already knew about her situation and had prepared everything to ensure that their mistress would be comfortable upon her return.
Half a year has passed, and Wenruo has grown up a lot. She is still well-behaved and gentle, but the timidity she once had has almost disappeared. She has obviously been well taken care of by Consort Yang.
The family had a simple dinner that evening, and then everyone went home to rest.
Prince Ping looked at Princess Ping and reached out to help her remove the jewelry from her head. "Wan Niang, is something on your mind?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Ah Shou agreed too readily today, and I still feel a little uneasy about it."
It really makes me feel uneasy.
Has my son done well in his studies?
She does hope so.
Prince Ping chuckled. "You should trust Ashou. Besides, he's slept with me for so long, he should have learned his lesson by now. He's already satisfied enough to be living in the small study in Qiutang Courtyard instead of the front courtyard. How could he dare to continue acting recklessly?"
Princess Ping thought about it and agreed, finally putting her worries to rest.
Jiang Xuelin had already lain down and had the lights turned off, leaving the room completely dark.
Of course, she wasn't asleep; her eyes were wide open, as if she were waiting for something.
After a while, she finally heard a faint sound.
However, this time the sound didn't come from the window, but... from the bedside.
After a while, the commotion became more obvious, and then a head popped out from under the bed curtains in front of the canopy bed.
She peeked around for a while before sneaking out, lifting the bed curtains, and slipping inside.
"Jiang Xuelin, are you surprised?"
