"He's almost recovered, but the doctor said he needs to be well taken care of for a few more days, so I didn't bring him here."
"The child's health is the most important thing. It's freezing outside, we can't bring him out and let him freeze..."
Concubine De was not a vicious mother-in-law and was very tolerant of these things. After all, the child's health was important.
Besides, this is Lao Liu’s first child, so nothing can happen to him.
After asking about the affairs of each mansion, Concubine De started to talk to them about other things.
For some reason, the Fourth Lady intentionally or unintentionally led the conversation to the Fourth Master, saying things like the Fourth Master seldom came to the backyard, and that the Fourth Master had never been to their courtyard with his two new sisters.
Although she just said that everything was fine in the mansion, that was only on the surface.
When the Sixth Lady heard her fourth sister-in-law mention the family affairs of her fourth brother's house, she, as the younger sister-in-law, felt it was not appropriate for her to listen to the gossip about her fourth brother and his sister-in-law's house.
She found an excuse to go downstairs to rest. After all, there was a family dinner in the evening and she hadn't rested enough yet. Now was a good time to catch up on some sleep so that she would be more energetic to deal with it at night.
After seeing her sixth brother's wife leave, the fourth lady continued talking for a long time. She knew that she couldn't always trouble her mother with this matter, but she had no choice.
When the Fourth Master came to the backyard, he never went anywhere but Wen's courtyard. Sometimes he would come to her courtyard for lunch and dinner, but most of the time he would just sit for a while, eat, and then leave.
Or if the master had something to discuss with her, he would leave after he finished speaking.
What should the other sisters in the mansion do if this continues? It is impossible that all the Fourth Master’s children will come from Wen’s belly in the future. This is what the Fourth Lady least wants to see.
Defei didn't expect that the Fourth Prince's wife would say such a thing at this time today. She glanced at Mianmian out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing her holding a cup and drinking water, it seemed that none of this had anything to do with her.
What Defei didn't know was that Wen Mianmian was also surprised that Fu Jin would talk about things in the mansion at this time.
You know, today is New Year's Eve. Wouldn't it be a bad mood to say these things?
What's more, she is still sitting here, so should she leave?
After a brief internal struggle, Wen Mianmian put down her teacup, stood up, and said with a smile, "Mother, I'll go check on the children to prevent them from making trouble."
De Fei nodded. It was indeed not appropriate for her to be here at this time. "You go."
Wen Mianmian bowed and left.
Fu Jin's face was a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to keep Wen and listen carefully, but now her mother had agreed, and they were asking her to take care of the child, so Fu Jin could only swallow her dissatisfaction in secret.
When they were the only two left in the room, Concubine De spoke up, "Fourth Master, these are your family affairs. As your mother, I can't say too much... But I will tell Fourth Master about this."
Defei did this to prevent outsiders from saying that the fourth prince favored his concubine and neglected his wife. You know, this word is very taboo in Emperor Kangxi's mind.
This fourth brother is really something. He likes Mianmian, but he also has to be careful about the limits.
If this causes trouble for Mianmian, he will regret it later.
"Thank you, Mother. I know it's not good to trouble you so often, but I really have no choice. The other people in the master's backyard are not going anywhere, so everyone in the backyard is inevitably worried."
"Besides, if the master doesn't come to the backyard, how can the sisters in the backyard have children for the master?" It's impossible for Wen to give birth to all the master's children in the future.
She couldn't and would never let such a thing happen.
Otherwise, with so many children around, wouldn't the Wen family become even more arrogant and more confident in the future?
"I know about this. I'll find some time to talk to him after I'm done with my work." Concubine De felt that having too many people would be troublesome.
But there was nothing she could do in this dynasty. She couldn't let her son have only one woman.
After all, this is the royal family, not an ordinary citizen's home.
She could only ask the fourth son to be more restrained. As a mother, she couldn't force her son to favor another woman.
Wen Mianmian came to the side hall where the children were resting and saw that they were all asleep.
Wen Mianmian also went to another small room to rest for a while.
Nanny Song also took Wen Mianmian's pulse and was relieved to see that the fetus was stable.
Wen Mianmian heard that the child was fine and went to sleep peacefully.
She is pregnant now and gets tired more easily than ordinary people.
Fortunately, the pregnancy reactions have improved a lot in the past few days, and the baby in my belly is more well-behaved today and has no reaction at the moment. I hope she can be as well-behaved as she is now during the palace banquet.
After everyone had rested, Concubine De took them to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The little ones are in particularly good spirits now because they had a good sleep.
The group soon arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony while chatting and laughing.
Everyone found their seats and sat down.
At this moment, Chenchen, who had just sat down, saw the Third Prince from the Third Master's Mansion. Chenchen looked up at his mother, pointed to the front and said, "Mother, I saw the Third Brother."
Wen Mianmian also saw it, and Tian Yurou also saw them and walked over with her third prince.
"Mianmian~"
"Sister Tian~" Wen Mianmian saw a smile on her face.
Looking down, Wen Mianmian saw her belly bulging slightly. She was surprised and delighted and said, "Sister Tian, your belly..."
"Well, it's almost five months." Tian Yurou's face flushed, and her face was full of happiness.
"Congratulations, Sister Tian." Seeing that she was pregnant, Wen Mianmian quickly asked her to sit down and chat.
The seats at their table were originally occupied by the concubines of each mansion, so Tian Yurou also sat down with her child.
"I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you were pregnant again. That's great." Wen Mianmian was really happy for Tian Yurou.
"It wasn't easy to get pregnant this time." Tian Yurou leaned close to Wen Mianmian's ear and said, "I told you I kept it a secret for four months. If I hadn't been able to hide it, I wouldn't have said it."
There are too many evil spirits in their house. Just last month, she said she was pregnant.
There were two times when accidents almost happened. If she hadn't been careful, the child might have been lost. She was almost scared to death during that time.
If today wasn't the New Year's Eve palace banquet, she wouldn't have come, for fear of another accident.
"What's going on?" Wen Mianmian knew that things were definitely not that simple when she heard her say that.
"Let me tell you..." Tian Yurou told Wen Mianmian about all the troubles she had encountered during this period.
Wen Mianmian was a little shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that those people would become restless as soon as Sister Tian said she was pregnant.
"You still have a few months left, what are you going to do during these months?" Wen Mianmian couldn't help but worry about her
