Shen Jiang was eating the supplements given by Concubine De.

The Fourth Prince was very grateful to Concubine De for this, and he specially thanked her when he went to pay his respects to her.

Defei looked at her son's sincere face and didn't know what to say because of all the things in her heart.

Forget it, forget it. Mother and son were not close to begin with, so why create a rift between them over such a small matter?

It's not like the concubine can't have children. Even if she can't have children, when the selection comes, she can just point to a few more princesses.

Speaking of princesses, Li has been really well behaved lately.

She copied scriptures in her room every day and came to pay her respects to Shen Jiang every five days. Her behavior and expression were very respectful.

Every time she finished copying a volume of scriptures, she would present it to Shen Jiang, who would receive it and put it in a box, and then offer it in the Buddhist temple during the year-end festival.

Every time Li came, Shen Jiang would ask her to meet the little princess, but unfortunately the little princess didn't know her and only knew the people in Shen Jiang's room.

Although Li felt very sad and cried secretly when she returned to her courtyard, she dared not show it.

After Song knew that Li was copying the sutras, she copied them too. Every time she copied a sentence, she would recite in her heart that the eldest princess had gone to heaven. When she saw the little princess at Shen Jiang's place, she couldn't help but think that if her daughter was still alive, she would be able to walk.

Fu Jin raised the little princess so well, so if her daughter is given to Fu Jin to raise, she will definitely raise her well too.

The little princess was born prematurely, but Fu Jin was able to raise her. If I had given my daughter to Fu Jin to raise when I gave birth to her, maybe my daughter wouldn't have...

How could Shen Jiang know that the princesses had so many little thoughts! She brought up her children in a "daddy-style" way. She would play with the children when she had free time, and would let go of them after holding them for less than ten minutes because "the baby missed mommy".

With the system, a hardworking "good mother", she is happy to be a relaxed "good father".

The "Good Mother" system complained: "No wonder everyone in the Quick Transmigration Bureau wants to get married, regardless of whether they are male or female."

Shen Jiang sighed: "I wish I could have two more pounds of meat under my crotch!"

Amid her sighs and the heavy snow falling outside, Shen Jiang welcomed her first New Year in the Forbidden City.

There was a big banquet on New Year's Eve, and Shen Jiang ate two pieces of snacks to fill his stomach before going to the banquet.

The Fourth Prince laughed when he saw this. Shen Jiang pretended to glare at him and stuffed a piece of cake into his hand. He opened his mouth and ate it.

After putting on the crane cloak, the two walked out of the yard together, just in time to see the Third Prince and the Third Lady coming out.

The fourth prince greeted first: "Third brother, third sister-in-law."

The Third Prince was of a friendly disposition. He smiled and nodded, "Fourth brother, fourth brother's wife."

Shen Jiang also greeted the Third Lady, and when the Third Prince and his wife took a step forward, she seemed to hear the Third Prince muttering, "The Fourth Brother's wife seems to be getting prettier."

When the Fourth Prince heard this, his face instantly darkened.

The Third Prince likes to learn how to be romantic and amorous from the literati and scholars, but he could at least pay attention to the occasion!

Fortunately, the Third Prince and his wife walked away, and the Fifth Prince and his wife also came out.

The Fifth Prince walked in front, and the Fifth Lady walked behind, both of them had indifferent expressions.

After greeting each other, the Fifth Prince waited for the Fourth Prince to leave first.

The Fourth Prince and Shen Jiang walked forward together. The Fourth Prince was still angry and said, "What's wrong with Fifth Brother? It's New Year's Day and you don't even know how to give your wife some face!"

Shen Jiang looked back and felt that the Fifth Lady did not seem to need any face from the Fifth Prince. Her expression was even uglier than the Fifth Prince's.

Oh my god, we’re going to meet the big boss Kangxi soon, can they please restrain themselves a little?

When they arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, they saw that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had already arrived early and were greeting the Third Prince, who had a respectful and reserved smile on his face.

Although the Crown Prince lived in Yuqing Palace, some distance away from the princes, all the sisters-in-law knew that the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was not good.

Although they are not as confrontational as the Fifth Prince and his Lady, they are not as good as the Third Prince and his Lady.

The Crown Prince saw the Fourth Prince first and said with a smile, "Fourth brother is here."

The Fourth Prince and Shen Jiang saluted together. The Crown Prince is half-sovereign, so even his brothers have to salute him when they meet him.

"No need to be so polite," the Crown Prince looked quite amiable, but everyone knew that he actually had a bad temper.

When the Fourth Prince came forward to talk to him, the Crown Princess said to Shen Jiang, "I heard that your courtyard has a new little princess. Congratulations."

Shen Jiang maintained a professional smile: "Thank you, Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess looked her up and down for several times, then turned back to the Third Lady and said, "I think Fourth Brother's wife has changed a lot in the past six months. What do you think?"

The Third Lady covered her mouth and laughed, "Yes, she is more beautiful than before. No wonder Fourth Brother treats her like a favorite and keeps his only little princess by her side."

Shen Jiang was feeling a bitch in her heart, but she smiled broadly: "I dare not say it is a favor, it is our master's trust in me."

Sometimes she envied the Fifth Lady, who dared to say anything, and should have said it to the Third Lady's face, seeing that she was still sarcastic.

After a while, the eldest prince and his wife arrived. They lived outside the palace, so it was normal for them to arrive late.

People came one after another, including the four concubines, who came with a few young princes, like naughty monkeys. The hall suddenly became lively.

The Fourth Prince and Shen Jiang went to pay their respects to Concubine De, and also received gifts from the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Prince was only eight years old and dared to say anything. When he saw Shen Jiang, he said directly: "Fourth sister-in-law? Are you my fourth sister-in-law? Is my fourth sister-in-law so beautiful?"

Shen Jiang looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm not the fourth sister-in-law, then who is it?"

The fourteenth prince opened his eyes wide and said loudly: "You are a fairy from heaven!"

Concubine De poked his forehead with a finger and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The Fourteenth Prince covered his head with his hands, looking aggrieved. The Fourth Prince hurriedly said, "The Fourteenth Brother is still young. It was just a child's joke. De'ene, don't blame him."

The smile on Concubine De's face narrowed slightly: "I didn't know it was a joke, but I was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would hear it and think that he was joking with a child."

The Fourth Prince pursed his lips, seeming a little unhappy again.

This mother and son are really...

Shen Jiang was not that sensitive, and still said to Concubine De with a smile: "It's okay, I have a broad mind and won't think about it elsewhere."

Concubine De: ...

The Fourth Prince glanced at her and found that she was really a kind-hearted person.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to feel less uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the Emperor and the Queen Mother arrived at this time. The Queen Mother was also accompanied by the Fourth Prince's biological sister, the Fifth Princess. The Fifth Princess had been raised by the Queen Mother since she was a child and was very much loved by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Everyone knelt down to greet him, but Kangxi said no need for formalities, and then everyone returned to their seats.

Then came a series of etiquette, including toasts, kneeling to offer wine, singing and dancing, etc. The princes would kneel to offer wine to the emperor, and the emperor would kneel to offer wine to the empress dowager. When the emperor was in high spirits, he would sing and dance himself.

As expected of her grassland ancestry, this little girl can sing and dance well.

Shen Jiang enjoyed the food while drinking, automatically skipping over the unpalatable dishes. This lively scene was really exciting!
