"I only have one little prince, Honghui, and I can't have any more. Wen has given birth to so many little princes. As the legitimate mother, I adopted two of them. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"If it really doesn't work, I only need one, one will do, Master."
"You're right, but I won't agree to this, not even one. Wen is a concubine, and she has the right to raise her own children. Besides, I won't let my child become a pawn to be used by others."
"Fujin, you'd better give up this idea." After saying this, the Fourth Master turned away angrily.
"Master..." Fu Jin looked at the Fourth Master's departing back with tears in her eyes.
"Is it so difficult for me to have a child? Am I such a despicable person in the master's heart?" Fu Jin knelt on the ground and muttered to herself.
When Nanny Chang and Nanny Li saw their master leaving, they hurried in.
When I came in, I saw Fu Jin sitting on the ground with red eyes.
"Fujin, Fujin, are you okay?" Nanny Chang and Nanny Li ran over and quickly helped the person sit in front of the warm couch.
"Mammy, why, why are there so many children in the Wen family, what's wrong with letting me adopt one? Why doesn't the master agree and even says that I will take advantage of the child? Am I really that kind of person?" Fu Jin held Mammy Chang's hand and began to complain.
Nanny Chang and Nanny Li did not expect their master to say such a thing. Nanny Chang quickly comforted him, "No, no, Fu Jin is not that kind of person."
"I've been married to the master for so many years, but I never thought that I would be like this in the master's heart. What's wrong with wanting a child? She, the Wen family, has given birth to so many children. Why can't I adopt one or two and bring them to him to raise?"
"Fujin, could it be that because our master was brought up by Empress Xiaoyiren since childhood, he is unwilling to bring Concubine Wen's child to you?"
You should know that Empress Xiaoyi Ren is the master's adoptive mother, and she was taken away when she was just born. It is said that although Empress Xiaoyi Ren is good to the master, she can't compare with a biological child.
When the master returned to Concubine De's side again, Concubine De was indifferent to the Fourth Master, but she became better later.
That's why the master is very disgusted with the idea of adoption.
"Really?" Fu Jin felt comforted when she heard what Nanny Chang said.
"Of course it is. Don't be sad, Madam." Nanny Li also advised.
After the two maids persuaded her for a long time, Fu Jin finally felt better. However, when she thought about what her master had said, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Wen Mianmian didn't know that Fu Jin had set his sights on her child. Her master hadn't told her about this, and Fu Jin would not tell her either.
This time, Wen Mianmian stayed in confinement for two months at the strong request of the Fourth Master. Even though she said that she had eaten the spiritual fruits in the space and her body had recovered well, the master still wanted her to stay in confinement for the full two months.
Mother Wen went back after the full-month banquet for her four children.
However, he did not return to Jiangnan immediately but returned to his residence in the capital.
Wen Mianmian also gave nicknames to her four children: Manman, the eldest; Yuanyuan, the third; Pingping, the third; and Anan, the fourth.
These names are also chosen in the hope that the children will grow up healthy and safe.
Li has not had an easy time in the past few months. She is tormented by nightmares and hallucinations all day long. Like a mad woman, she hides in a corner with her head in her hands every day, talking to herself. It is said that even Nanny Fang finds it difficult to get close to her.
The court doctor examined her but could not find any cause of the disease, so the matter was put off. After three months when the effect of the medicine wore off, and another month or two later, Mrs. Li gradually calmed down.
But his mental state is not very good, but he is no longer crazy all day long.
Now that Nanny Fang approaches her, she won't resist, but she rarely speaks. Sometimes she sits aside in a daze, not knowing what she's thinking.
"Princess, it's time for dinner." Nanny Fang spoke softly as she looked at Princess Li who was sitting in a daze in front of the couch.
Mrs. Li raised her head and looked at Nanny Fang, "Nanny Fang, I'm not hungry, you can take it away."
"Princess, you have to eat something at least. Otherwise, you will starve yourself and that will be terrible." Nanny Fang urged.
"Besides, you still have the eldest princess, so you can't let your health collapse."
The princess has been eating very little recently, and her body has become noticeably thinner day and night. Nanny Fang is worried that the princess' body will not be able to bear it for a long time.
Mrs. Li looked at the nanny and said, "Madam, how come Mrs. Wen is so blessed? I heard that she gave birth to four little princes. Her belly is really good."
She has been released from house arrest, so naturally she knows what is happening outside.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
However, the only little prince she was pregnant with didn't even have the right to see the world.
Nanny Fang felt the same way. No one had expected Concubine Wen to be so fertile. She was just like a sow giving birth to piglets. The first pregnancy was the third, and this one was the fourth. So, could it be the fourth or fifth pregnancy in the future?
"Princess, Concubine Wen is just lucky, don't think too much about it." No one can be compared with Concubine Wen. With the way she gave birth, no one can compare with her.
Li was silent for a moment, "Yes, I can't beat her. I was defeated the moment she entered the mansion. Let's go have dinner." Li finally stood up from the couch and walked to the dining table.
Sitting down at the dining table, looking at the vegetarian dishes on the table, Li felt mixed emotions. In the past, the servants in the kitchen did not try to curry favor with her, but they would not send these dishes to her either.
Now that I'm in such a bad state, even those servants will take advantage of my misfortune.
"Princess, although these are just vegetarian dishes, they are all fresh and hot. Please eat some."
Although the meals delivered by the servants in the kitchen were not good, they were better than those for other princesses. At least the meals were fresh and hot. If the princess did not have a senior princess, she might not even have these meals.
Li didn't say anything. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
——
Two years later…
A little kid sneaked into the room, looked around and saw that there was no one in the room. He then looked at the table which was filled with local pastries, and couldn't help drooling.
Hey, my little pastry, here I come.
The little girl tiptoed towards the table like a thief, then moved a small stool, climbed up nimbly, took a piece of cake, and climbed down again.
As soon as I came down, I heard a cold and angry voice behind me.
"Yuanyuan, you're eating secretly again." Wen Mianmian stood with her hands on her hips behind Yuanyuan and Xiaowu who were eating the cakes secretly.
Yuanyuan turned around in shock and saw her mother staring at her angrily. She immediately put her chubby hands holding the cakes behind her back and refused to admit it, "Mom, I didn't steal any."
