"But I really can't stand it anymore. I have to go to the garden to sweep the snow early every morning. It's so cold, I really can't stand it." Lin Yueran broke down and covered her face and burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, Nanny Yun said, "Only those who endure the most difficult hardships can become the best. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you talk about wealth and glory in the future?"
"Besides, I really can't help the girl, because it's not up to me to let her go."
"If you really want to leave the mansion, you'll have to wait another two years. Every three years, the mansion lets a group of people out. If you really want to leave, I can help you get them."
"But the previous conditions are no longer valid."
Hearing this, Lin Yueran became a little angry, "You said you would help me, but I have been in the mansion for so long, and now it is the New Year, and I have never seen you help me."
It's been several months and there has been no progress at all. It would be a lie for Lin Yueran to say that she isn't angry.
They had promised to help her before, but now she has never seen them help her.
Nanny Yun didn't get angry when she heard her say this. "Young lady, have you ever heard the saying, 'You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?' No matter what, you have to take your time. If you really can't wait, I can arrange for you to go to the front yard. You know, the master spends most of his time there."
"Of course, this opportunity is given to you, girl. Whether you can achieve your wish depends on your ability. After all, there are some things I can only help you with, but most of the time you still have to rely on yourself."
Lin Yueran was so moved by her words that she was about to take a break.
Since she couldn't get out for the time being, she could only give it a try.
Nanny Yun was considered an old fox. Looking at her expression, she guessed what she was thinking. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
She wants to stand out even with such an impatient look. She's lucky that she doesn't kill herself.
——
At Yonghe Palace, when Wen Mianmian, the Fourth Lady and others came, the Sixth Lady, the Sixth Concubine, the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince's newly married wife had also arrived.
There was a lively conversation going on in the room at that moment. Concubine De was smiling so hard that she couldn't stop. When she saw them coming, she quickly asked them to sit down and ordered someone to bring them some ginger tea to warm them up.
Wen Mianmian and others bowed and then sat down.
The Fourth Lady smiled and said, "Mother looks so happy, is there any good news?"
"Happy, of course I'm happy. How can I not be happy that Lao Liu's wife is pregnant again?"
And now Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen have both married their own wives. Maybe soon she will be able to hold her grandchildren in her arms. Why is she still not happy?
When the Sixth Lady heard her mother mention that she covered her face with a handkerchief, she felt a little embarrassed.
The Fourth Lady looked at the Sixth Sister-in-law with some surprise and said, "The Sixth Sister-in-law is pregnant again."
Wen Mianmian also looked over.
The Sixth Lady looked a little shy, "The imperial physician hasn't come to see me yet. Maybe I just have a stomachache."
Consort De smiled and said, "It can't be wrong. The reactions you just had clearly indicated that you were pregnant. You've already given birth twice and still didn't know it."
"You should ask the court doctor to take your pulse on time. It's freezing cold now and the road is covered with snow. What if you fall?" Although Defei's words sounded a bit complaining, she really cared about her.
As soon as she arrived at Yonghe Palace and sat down, she began to feel nauseous, and then he quickly asked someone to call the imperial physician. Although the imperial physician had not come yet, after listening to his symptoms in recent days, Concubine De was certain that the sixth prince's wife was pregnant again.
As he was speaking, the imperial physician happened to come over quickly at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Concubine De quickly asked him to come over and help the Sixth Lady.
After paying his respects, the imperial physician came before the Sixth Lady.
After taking her pulse, it was confirmed that the Sixth Lady had indeed been pregnant for more than a month.
De Fei's face instantly lit up with joy. "Okay, okay, rewards. I'm happy today. All the servants serving in the room will get rewards."
The imperial physician also received a generous reward. After accepting it, he thanked the emperor and left.
Although she was already somewhat confident in her heart, with the confirmation from the imperial physician, the Sixth Lady's original fear of being disappointed was completely put aside, and her face was filled with joy.
"Congratulations to Sixth Brother's wife." The Fourth Lady congratulated with a smile.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a bitterness in the Fourth Lady's eyes.
His hand couldn't help but quietly touch his abdomen.
If her body hadn't collapsed, would she have been able to bear children again?
If she was in good health, would the master have drifted away from her?
Others also expressed their congratulations.
What no one noticed was that the Sixth Concubine's hands hidden under the handkerchief were secretly clenched, and a hint of ruthlessness and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
Defei's gaze fell on the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Concubine again.
"You two should work harder and try to let me hold my grandson again on the next New Year's Eve." Concubine De said happily.
Both of them blushed after hearing this, and finally nodded softly.
A hint of bitterness flashed in the eyes of Fourteenth Concubine Wanyan Shuya.
Concubine De kept them here and talked for a while, then let them go to rest.
After all, it is really tiring to go to the palace early in the morning.
At the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Wen Mianmian felt a pair of malicious gazes staring at her as soon as she sat down.
She glanced around and her eyes fell on the Eighth Concubine, who was staring at her with resentment at that moment. The Eighth Concubine saw her looking at her and glared at her fiercely.
When Wen Mianmian saw the resentful look in the Eighth Lady's eyes, she remembered that she had not heard from her for a long time.
I didn't expect that she could survive. It's really true that she is a scourge that will last for thousands of years.
However, when Wen Mianmian saw her flour-like face at first, she was really shocked.
But even if she put thick powder on her face, it couldn't cover up the pockmarks left by smallpox under her makeup.
Moreover, he had heard from Nanny Song that the new concubine in the Eighth Master's Mansion was not someone who could be easily bullied. It seemed that the Eighth Master's Mansion was very lively now.
Wen Mianmian didn't look at her for too long. Seeing him staring at her with his eyes wide open, Wen Mianmian couldn't help but complain in her heart, asking him if he was afraid of getting tired by staring so wide.
She nodded and smiled at her politely, then looked away and didn't look at her again, but talked intimately with Mrs. Tian who had just sat down.
When the Eighth Lady saw Wen Shi like this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
