She also wanted to save face, so when she was in the palace, she always ate with everyone else. Those people had appetites smaller than those of birds, which made her feel embarrassed to eat too much.
Moreover, most of those dishes were light in nature, which was almost torturing her to death.
Fortunately, I met the young eunuch and asked her to prepare some special food for me, which helped me to have some oil in my stomach and I felt better.
"Princess, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this." Shannai immediately assured.
Shan Cha and Wang An also quickly promised not to tell anyone about this.
As for Wu, the young eunuch led her to the door and said a few auspicious words. As usual, Wu gave the young eunuch a purse, but the weight was not as heavy as the one given by Wen.
She also had two maids and a young eunuch, all of whom were not very old. I guess they were all the same, having just been transferred from the Imperial Household Department.
The three servants kowtowed and greeted Wu before leading her into the house.
Wu took the opportunity to ask them some questions about the Fourth Master, but unsurprisingly, they didn't know much either, because they had only been in the mansion for a few days and had hardly seen the Fourth Master, so naturally they couldn't ask anything.
"Princess, I heard that the Fourth Master is out on business and may not be back for about a month." The little maid Fuling stepped forward and said.
She also heard about this from others outside today.
"A month, so long." Wu frowned slightly. Before entering the mansion, she thought she would be able to see the Fourth Master that day.
I didn't expect that the Fourth Master was not only out on business, but would not be back for about a month.
Seeing that the princess looked unhappy, the young eunuch tactfully changed the subject and stepped forward, saying with a smile, "Princess, it's getting late now. How about I go to the kitchen and bring over tonight's meal?"
When it came to meals, although Mrs. Wu had no appetite, she still nodded.
The young eunuch immediately went to the kitchen to serve the meal to the princess.
The two little maids, one helped Wu pack her things, and the other kept her company and talked.

Yuxiayuan
"Are you going into the mansion now?"
A woman was half-leaning on the warm couch, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were graceful and charming, her hand was gently stroking her still flat belly, she looked at the young eunuch kneeling on the ground and spoke in confusion.
"Yes, Princess."
"Have you found out where they live?" Li was very concerned about this issue.
"I heard... I heard that one princess lives in Zizhuyuan and the other lives in Shuiyunxuan." The young eunuch said this with courage, and then lowered his head even more.
Everyone knew that this person had always wanted to live in Zizhuyuan, but no matter how many times he mentioned it, he was always rejected by the concubine on the grounds that it had not been built yet.
Although the Yuxia Courtyard is very large, it is not closer to the Fourth Master's front yard than the Zizhu Courtyard.
Now that the courtyard has been given to the new princess to live in, who knows how angry Princess Li will be.
Sure enough, when Li heard that the wife had given Zizhuyuan to the new princess, she was so angry that she threw the teacup on the table to the ground.
The servants in the room were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.
"Fujin is going against me."
"I've told her so many times before, but she refused to let me live there. This time she gave Zizhuyuan to the new princess. She's deliberately trying to annoy me."
Li was very angry. That was the yard closest to the Fourth Master's front yard, and the Fourth Master would pass by there every time he came to the backyard.
It would have been fine if Fu Jin hadn't let her live there, but this time, she let someone else live there. Wasn't this a deliberate slap in her face?
"Princess, please don't be angry. You still have the little prince in your arms." Nanny Fang hurried over to persuade her.
As he said this, he waved away the other two servants in the room, who immediately stood up and walked out quickly.
It's really that Princess Li has a very bad temper.
If the master was around, she would be more restrained, but now that the master is out on business, Li Gege can be very scary when she gets angry.
"Mammy, how can I not be angry? Fu-jin did this on purpose. She arranged it this way on purpose." Li was so angry that her face turned red.
"Hey, Gege, keep your voice down. She's the wife of the emperor. No one can do anything about who she wants to live in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard."
"What's more, the master is not in the mansion now. If anything happens to you, who knows how the concubine will gloat over your misfortune." Nanny Fang tried her best to persuade.
I was afraid that something might happen to the baby in Li Gege's belly.
"And if you give birth to a little prince, then the Fourth Master will ask for a title for you. By then, you will have everything you want. It's not worth hurting you and the little prince in your belly for such a trivial matter."
When Li Gege heard what the nanny said, she suppressed her temper.
She gently stroked her belly and her emotions gradually calmed down. The nanny was right. She was pregnant with a little prince. When she gave birth to the little prince, the Fourth Master would definitely ask for her to be made a concubine. Then, what would she still worry about?
After figuring it out, Li's mood was not so bad anymore.
"Mammy, what do the two princesses look like? Will they stop coming to my place when the master comes back?" Li began to worry again.
Fu Jin guessed correctly, the reason why she dared to be so arrogant in this mansion was not only because she gave birth to the eldest princess, but also because of the child in her belly, but more because of the favor the Fourth Master had for her.
Although the Fourth Master seldom came into the backyard, only three or four days a month, he stayed with her the most, so she felt at home in the backyard.
If the Fourth Master doesn't come to her in the future, then she...that kind of situation is definitely something Li doesn't want to face.
"Gege, don't worry."
"Even if those two princesses are good-looking, they can't compare to you. You are pregnant now. Besides, you have the eldest princess here, and you will have the younger prince in the future. No matter who the Fourth Master goes to, he will not come to you. Just relax."
