There was still some time now, she could take a nap.
After all, I have to learn the rules later, which is very tiring.
"Your stomach feels uncomfortable, but are you okay? Do you want to go to Nanny Wang and ask the imperial physician to come and see you?" Tian Yurou half-sat on the bed, supporting herself with her hands, and asked worriedly at her.
The general election is the day after tomorrow. It would be bad if I had health problems at this time.
"Don't worry, Sister Tian. I think I just ate something bad. My stomach feels much better now." Wen Mianmian felt a little guilty when she said this and didn't dare to look at Tian Yurou.
Tian Yurou didn't notice the guilty look in Wen Mianmian's eyes just now.
Instead, he said, "Then take a nap, you'll have to get up again soon."
"good."
The two of them lay down and closed their eyes to rest.

As for the Fourth Master, after paying his respects to Concubine De at Yonghe Palace, he left the palace and returned to his residence.
Today he was summoned into the palace by the Emperor, and together with his third brother he was assigned an assignment to patrol the south.
After he returned to the mansion, he directly ordered Su Peisheng to pack some personal items he used frequently, without being too complicated, and then went to the main courtyard to tell his wife.
He will be away for at least a month. His wife is pregnant now, so if things in the mansion are difficult to handle, he can ask Nanny Song to help.
Nanny Song is the Fourth Master's wet nurse. Before the Concubine came into the mansion, Nanny Song helped take care of all the affairs in the courtyard.
After hearing what the Fourth Master said, Fu Jin refused to do so. She had finally managed to hold the power of the housekeeper tightly in her hands, and she was not willing to give it up just like that.
She looked at the Fourth Master with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, Master. I can still take care of these trivial matters. Nanny Song recently caught a cold and is now recuperating in the house. Please don't trouble Nanny with these matters."
"Besides, I have Nanny Li and Nanny Chang by my side. They will help me manage the account. I only need to check the accounts occasionally to see if there are any problems...so you don't have to worry about me."
Ulanara understood what had just happened as the Fourth Master being very worried about her and not wanting her to suffer too much, and she felt very relieved.
"Well, it's good that Fu Jin knows what's going on."
The Fourth Master was not the talkative type, so he gave a few instructions and told Lady Fu that he would be away on business for about a month.
Fu Jin was a little surprised to hear this, and then smiled and said, "Since Master will be away for such a long time, why don't I let Song accompany him to serve him? With someone by his side, I can feel more at ease."
In the past, the Fourth Master only went out on business for a few days, but this time he would be gone for such a long time, so he must bring someone to accompany him.
There are simply not enough people in the mansion who can serve the Fourth Master. Now both Li Gege and she are pregnant, and there are only Song and a few concubines in the inner courtyard.
It’s nothing like the Third Master’s mansion, where there are so many princesses and concubines.
Even in the mansion of Prince Zhi, who doted on his first wife, there were many princesses and concubines.
Now the one whom the Fourth Master favors the most in his mansion is Li. She has a daughter and is pregnant now. If she gives birth to a son this time, the Fourth Master might ask for her to be made a concubine.
She hasn't even become a concubine yet, but she's already very arrogant in her daily life. If she becomes a concubine, that would be terrible. Wouldn't she even look down on her, the concubine?
It would be great if two people could come and share Li's favor at this time.
Fortunately, she had specifically mentioned this selection to her mother, asking her to select two more close friends for the Fourth Master. Her mother also said that she would carefully select two outstanding-looking girls to enter the mansion.
She was relieved then. She wanted to see if Li could still enjoy the Fourth Master's favor after the newcomer came into the mansion.
"No need. I want to go with my third brother this time. Besides, it would be inconvenient for me to take a female relative with me when I go out on business." He usually doesn't take female relatives with him when he goes out on business. It's too troublesome.
Besides, he went out to do his job, not to enjoy some romantic life, so why would he bring female relatives with him?
He is not the third brother, who has to bring three or five concubines with him when he goes out on business.
Then there was chaos all along the way, it was very lively.
What the Fourth Master didn't know was that what he said would completely slap him in the face one day in the future.
After hearing this, Fu Jin nodded quickly in agreement. Since the Fourth Master said so, she would naturally obey.
"Then I'll have someone pack up the luggage that I need to take with me when I go out." Just as Ulanara was about to ask someone to come in, she was stopped by the Fourth Master.
"No need, Fu Jin, just take good care of your pregnancy. I've asked Su Peisheng to pack up my things."
"By the way, Mrs. Li, please ask someone to take good care of these things. After all, Mrs. Li is pregnant now."
Although Fu Jin felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, she did not show it on her face. She smiled lightly and said, "I know. I will definitely ask someone to take good care of her. You don't have to worry."
The Fourth Master nodded with confidence, "Well, I'm sure I can trust Fu Jin to handle things."
Then Ulanara told the Fourth Master that two new people would be chosen to enter the mansion during the beauty contest.
The Fourth Master had no objection after hearing this. He had already heard about this from his mother when he went to pay his respects to her. It would be up to the Lady to arrange things for them. He was not too keen on women.
I only come to the backyard occasionally when I have free time.
He doted on Li a little bit because Li had a lively personality, which was different from the women in the backyard, so he went to her more often.
The Fourth Master sat with Lady Fu Jin for a while and then went back to the front yard.
——
Soon the day of the general election arrived. The sky was covered with a faint crimson. The sun rose slowly, and the soft light shone on the red walls and yellow tiles. Outside a magnificent and solemn palace, there were rows of pretty and charming young ladies wearing gorgeous costumes.
"Empress Yi, Empress Rong, Empress Hui, and Empress De have arrived." A eunuch sang loudly at the top of his voice.
