Wen Mianmian spent most of the day in this inn, listening to the storyteller talk about Emperor Kangxi's romantic affairs.
I have to say that Wen Mianmian learned a lot after listening to these, although most of them were made up.
But the storyteller here is really good at speaking.
She saw that the man didn't have any script in his hand, and everything he said was purely based on his own imagination.
Other people even pause when writing their stories, but this storyteller didn't have any pauses at all. He spoke for more than two hours without repeating himself, and people still listened with great interest.
If Nanny Song hadn't urged her that it was time to go back, Wen Mianmian would have wanted to continue listening.
It was the first time that she was so fascinated by listening to a story. There were many people here, and many people would ask the storyteller when they heard something they didn't understand. The process was very interesting, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
"If Madam likes to listen, we can come over tomorrow." Nanny Song saw that it was getting late outside and the Fourth Master should be back soon.
Wen Mianmian lowered her head and stood up, "Then let's go back first."
I've actually been here for quite a while.
Wen Mianmian returned to her temporary residence and happened to meet the returning Fourth Master at the door.
When the Fourth Master saw her coming back from outside, he knew without hesitation that she had gone out.
He walked over quickly.
"Master."
"What did you go out for today?" The Fourth Master took her hand and they walked towards the mansion.
"Nothing much, just wandering around, but I spent most of the time listening to storytelling in a small inn."
Wen Mianmian happily shared what she encountered and saw today.
"Once I have arranged things here, I will go shopping with you."
There are quite a lot of things to do here, especially in the first two days. He needs to familiarize himself with a lot of things, so he goes out early and works late every day.
Once he has arranged everything here, he will have time to come.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry about this matter. There's plenty of time anyway. Master, you should finish the things at hand first. I can go shopping by myself."
The two returned to the courtyard where they lived, and Nanny Song quickly ordered someone to prepare dinner.
During the time that the Fourth Master was away, many people came to the Fourth Master's mansion hoping to establish friendship with the Fourth Lady or to send her gifts.
Fortunately, the Fourth Lady always remembered what her master said when he left, and did not take these things. She also found an excuse not to meet those people.
She also knew something about the current situation in the court. To be honest, she didn't want the Fourth Master to do this job at all.
The Fourth Master is not in the court, which means that there are many things happening in the court and he cannot participate in them.
Now is the critical moment for selecting the crown prince, and if the Fourth Master does this, he will definitely miss many opportunities.
The position of the crown prince has been vacant for many years. She actually has her own selfish motives. She hopes that the Fourth Master can take that position so that she can be the mother of the country. Then, their Ulanara family will be able to return to its former glory.
Thinking of this, Fu Jin thought of her son Honghui. Although he was the crown prince now, he was not yet qualified to attend the morning court and could only handle some small matters assigned to him by his master.
She had to urge Honghui to work harder. If he also entered the court, maybe he could help his master.
"By the way, Madam Chang, what is Honghui doing now?" Fu Jin looked up at Madam Chang who was serving beside her.
"The prince came back at noon and should be in his own courtyard now."
At noon, she happened to meet the prince on her way back from the kitchen.
"You're back so early?" Fu Jin fell into deep thought.
"How's the person I asked you to find?"
Speaking of this, Nanny Chang realized that she had missed this matter and quickly said, "Replying to the Lady, the person has been found two days ago, but, do you really want to send him in now?"
The master is not here now, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess currently live in the same courtyard. If we really send someone in, we will have to find another courtyard. Not to mention whether the Crown Prince is willing or not, there will definitely be a lot of trouble if there are too many people.
The Fourth Lady thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for a while. If Honghui's wife hadn't been so disappointing, I wouldn't be so anxious to choose two princesses for Honghui."
Speaking of this, the Fourth Lady became a little angry. She had originally hoped that Tong Jia could give her a grandson, but she didn't expect it to be a princess.
And the wife of Wen's son gave birth to a chubby little prince. How could she not be angry?
Why do all the good things happen to the Wen family?
"The Crown Prince's Consort is still young. She gave birth to a princess now, and maybe her next child will be a prince."
"Fujin, there's no need to be too anxious."
She felt that the Crown Prince's wife was still young and had only been married for a few years, so she would definitely be able to have another child in the future. After all, it was the Lady Fu who was too anxious.
Moreover, even if the prince married a princess, there would be so much intrigue and intrigue that even if she got pregnant, she might not be able to give birth to the child.
Fu Jin has been in the mansion for so many years, and she may have seen through all these things, but she just wants the prince to have a prince too much.
"How can I not be anxious? The Wen family has so many sons, but I only have Honghui as a son. I place all my hopes on him. How can I not be anxious?"
Fu Jin also knows that there are pros and cons to doing this, but she just won't give in?
"I understand Fu Jin's worries, but no matter what it is, we need to take our time and not rush into anything. The Crown Princess is already in good health, and perhaps she will be able to give the Crown Prince another little prince next year."
The Fourth Lady felt that what Nanny Chang said made sense. "I hope she can live up to your expectations as you said. Let's put the matter of those two princesses entering the mansion aside for now."
She would give her some more time, but the matter between these two could not be put off for too long. She would wait until next year to bring the person into the house. She hoped that by then her belly would be better.
——
Two years later…
A low-key carriage was driving on the official road.
Wen Mianmian leaned in the Fourth Master's arms, chewing the grapes that the Fourth Master fed her with his own mouth.
"I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Two years have already passed." Wen Mianmian swallowed the grapes in her mouth and sighed.
In the past two years, the Fourth Master has accompanied her to many places, and their life has been more comfortable and happy than ever before. In fact, Wen Mianmian is still reluctant to return to the capital now.
Seeing her sighing like that, the Fourth Master rubbed her face in amusement.
The voice was low and said, "Mianmian, you really don't want to go back?"
