"What's wrong with Fu Jin? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go get the palace doctor to come and take a look."
Ulanara grabbed Nanny Chang's hand and said, "Don't go. I'm just a little tired from standing. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Today is a good day for the master to come back, so don't go to ask the imperial physician." Ulanara didn't want the Fourth Master to worry at all.
"Fujin, you have a little prince in your belly. If not for yourself, you should think about the little prince." Nanny Chang advised earnestly.
"Yes, Madam, let's quietly call the court physician to come over and take a look. If there is nothing wrong, everyone can rest assured..." Nanny Li also advised, but before she could finish her words, Ulanara refused sternly.
"No, I know my own body. I just need to rest for a while."
Seeing that the lady said this, the two maids felt a little worried, but they did not try to persuade her anymore.
——
In the evening
forecourt
The Fourth Master was processing official documents, and Su Peisheng walked up cautiously and spoke.
"Master, it's getting late. We should go to the main courtyard."
The Fourth Master is like this. Once he gets busy, he even forgets the time and needs Su Peisheng to remind him every time.
When the Fourth Master heard what Su Peisheng said, he looked up and out the window. It was indeed getting late, so he stood up after finishing the last document.
"Let's go." After saying that, the Fourth Master walked towards the backyard.
Su Peisheng hurried to catch up.
Having been with his master for so many years, he had already honed his leg skills, so even though the Fourth Master was walking very fast, he could still easily keep up.
In the main courtyard, everyone was chatting enthusiastically and it was very lively. Everyone was here and now they were just waiting for the Fourth Master to come so that they could start the meal.
Mrs. Li also brought the eldest princess here tonight, but the eldest princess was a little timid. The little girl curled up in the wet nurse's arms and didn't dare to come down.
Fu Jin chatted with everyone for a while, and soon the Fourth Master strode in.
Seeing this, everyone quickly stood up and knelt in greeting.
"Everyone, please sit down. Today is a family dinner, so there's no need for so many formalities." The Fourth Master sat down next to Lady Fu Jin.
"Thank you, Fourth Master." After the master called them, everyone stood up and sat back down.
"Master is right. Today is a family dinner and everyone should be happy." Ulanara agreed with a smile.
The food was served soon.
The variety of delicious delicacies and the dazzling array of them are enough to make Wen Mianmian's appetite almost burst out.
Things are different when the Fourth Master comes back. There are even dishes that I have never seen before, filling up a whole table.
Just as Su Peisheng was about to serve the food to his master, his wife got there first.
"Master has been away on business for so long, I guess he hasn't had a good meal. Now that he's back home, you should eat more." Fu Jin picked up a spoon, scooped a bowl of soup for the Fourth Master and placed it in front of him.
"Madam, you eat too. Now that you are pregnant, you should eat more. I have Su Peisheng to serve you." Seeing Madam picking up food for herself despite her big belly, the Fourth Master was a little disapproving.
It is a good thing to follow the rules, but it is not so good to always follow the rules without knowing how to adapt.
After all, rules are dead but people are alive.
"Don't worry, sir. What I do is nothing. Just let me serve you." Fu Jin didn't care at all and said with a smile.
Fourth Master: “…”
Forget it, since Fu Jin wants to serve me, then just serve me and pretend he didn’t say anything.
"Everyone, come and eat." The Fourth Master spoke, and several princesses and concubines also picked up their chopsticks.
Especially Wen Mianmian, who picked up the chopsticks and picked up the Dongpo pork closest to her almost as soon as the Fourth Master finished speaking.
Several princesses at the same table also started eating.
The Fourth Master basically eats whatever his wife picks for him.
Fu Jin has always been a person who strictly abides by the rules, so she only picks up the same dish for the Fourth Master once or twice, adhering to the principle of not eating more than three times a day.
The other princesses are all similar, but there is one who is different from everyone else.
That is Wen Mianmian.
She was already hungry, so when she saw that the food on the table was much better than her usual portion of food, she naturally wanted to eat more.
She didn't look at anyone else, just focused on eating.
After all, nothing is more important than eating.
So when the princesses sitting at the same table with her saw the way she ate, they felt a little contemptuous. But since the master was here, she was not afraid that the fourth master would be displeased by her behavior.
But if she angered the master, that would be fine, as that way they would have one less competitor.
The Fourth Master inadvertently looked up and happened to see Wen Mianmian who couldn't stop eating, and he felt a little funny.
She was still the same as when I first met her, eating everything with relish, her cheeks puffed up, and looking at her made people feel particularly hungry.
Su Peisheng also noticed it.
Oh, this princess's personality hasn't changed at all. She's still so carefree and still eats so much.
But judging from her appearance, I don't think the master will like her.
The master has always been the most disciplined person. Wen Gege is beautiful, but she is really too unruly.
Fu Jin was sitting next to the Fourth Master. She noticed that the Fourth Master was looking forward, so she looked over and saw Wen eating like a whirlwind.
When Fu Jin saw Wen Mianmian like this, she was also stunned. She had never seen her eat so much last time.
He subconsciously glanced at the Fourth Master, and seeing that there was no change on his face, he felt relieved.
Wen Mianmian seemed to notice that someone was staring at her. When she looked up, she saw that everyone's eyes were on her.
