Li carefully served tea to the Fourth Prince and said gently, "Master, please have some tea."

The Fourth Prince took it casually, blew away the foam on the surface of the tea, and took a sip.

Li knelt at his feet, held his feet, took off his boots and socks, and put his feet in the foot basin.

After washing his feet, she placed a piece of soft white cotton cloth on her legs, then held the Fourth Prince's feet on the cotton cloth, wiped them carefully, and put on slippers.

The slippers originally belonged to the wife of the emperor, and the fourth prince liked them very much, so he asked Su Peisheng to make him a few more pairs. He kept a pair in his study, and one pair each for the two princesses.

"Master, let's take a break, shall we?" Li looked at him lovingly.

The Fourth Prince nodded and walked into the inner room.

After finishing, Li lay in the Fourth Prince's arms. She felt that it was time.

"Fujin is almost five months pregnant, right? I still remember when I was pregnant with the second princess, her condition was not good at first. When she was five or six months pregnant, her body became heavy and cumbersome, and she was exhausted from doing anything."

The Fourth Prince closed his eyes and said casually, "Fujin's pregnancy looks good. It's been more than four months but she's still not very pregnant. However, her belly will be bigger in another month. If you can share some of the burden on weekdays, please share more for Fujin."

Li said, "I am willing to share the burden for you, as long as you give me a nod and you... are willing to open your mouth, I will be willing to go through fire and water."

The Fourth Prince heard something off-screen, opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "What do you want to share with Fu Jin?"

Li got up and knelt on the bed, her eyes full of hope, and said, "Master, can you please show mercy and let the second princess come back?"

The Fourth Prince's eyes suddenly turned cold. Before Li could react, the Fourth Prince suddenly sat up and said sternly, "What are you thinking! Has the Lady done anything wrong to you? Didn't you raise the Second Princess well? Why do you have to let the Second Princess follow you?"

Li was so frightened that she trembled and rolled off the bed onto the floor.

The Fourth Prince had already gotten out of bed and called out, "Su Peisheng!"

Su Peisheng hurried in to help him get dressed, not daring to look at the Fourth Prince's expression.

He just heard the Fourth Prince scolding Li outside. This Li Gege is really something. What's wrong with raising the Second Gege with the wife? You are just a Gege and a concubine now! Raising a concubine's daughter with her stepmother will only benefit her in the future, not harm her. You don't even understand this!

Yes, mother and daughter are connected by heart, how can a mother bear to let her child be raised by someone else? But she also has to think about the child's future!

You actually want to take the Second Princess back? Isn't that a slap in the face of the wife and the prince?

The Fourth Prince also cursed Li for being stupid in his heart, and became even more determined not to take the Second Princess back. What good things could he learn from a woman like Li!

After putting on his clothes, the Fourth Prince returned to his study.

The noise here naturally did not escape the eyes of Madam Kong. She excitedly told Shen Jiang: "Gege Li has offended the prince again. The prince left angrily, probably back to the study."

The system also excitedly told Shen Jiang: "Li actually wants to take back the custody of the second princess. Don't you think she is courting death?"

Shen Jiang could understand Li, but he really couldn't sympathize with her.

Because Li made the Fourth Prince angry, everyone in the entire courtyard suffered.

When the Fourth Prince got angry, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard became extremely gloomy, and even Shen Jiang had to be careful in what he did.

Can't we just calm down a bit?

The Fourth Prince was angry with Li and came to Shen Jiang's place to spend the night the next day.

The two of them were just chatting under the quilt. The Fourth Prince placed his hand on Shen Jiang's belly and said, "If this baby is a boy, he will be my eldest son. When the time comes, I will definitely raise him myself and entrust him with important tasks!"

Shen Jiang blinked, leaned over and said, "Then I'll ask for mercy from you!"

"You said."

"My master will be a prince anyway. Once I am crowned a prince, this child must be crowned a prince, right?" The Fourth Prince has no intention of competing for the throne yet. Shen Jiang cannot say that her son will be a prince in the future, so she can only be conservative and make him a prince.

"Look at what you said. This is inevitable."

In the eyes of the Fourth Prince, it is only natural for him to be crowned as a king and his eldest son to be crowned as the Crown Prince!

Why does Fu Jin still ask for this?

Was it because he favored Li? Was he afraid that he would lose his integrity due to his favor and let his illegitimate son surpass his legitimate son in the future?

The Fourth Prince sighed, held Shen Jiang's hand, and said, "You must have thought too much during your pregnancy. Don't worry, no one can surpass our child. No matter how favored those princesses are, they are just kittens and puppies. They can't be compared with you."

Shen Jiang believed what he said, and it was because of this belief that she felt chilled to the bone.

If her identity in the next mission is a concubine, she will probably be called a "cat and dog" by these feudal emperors!

Seeing that she was still serious, the Fourth Prince thought she didn't believe him, so he said, "How about this, I will go to the princess less often and come to you more often."

Going less often does not mean not going at all.

Shen Jiang hurriedly said: "Master, that's not what I meant."

If this were true, Shen Jiang would be criticized.

Later on, wasn’t the Eighth Lady scolded for being jealous every day?

The Fourth Prince smiled and patted her, saying, "Alright, alright, go to sleep! Stop having these random thoughts."

Shen Jiang had no choice but to close his eyes and end the topic.

I thought Li would be neglected for another year or so, but the system told Shen Jiang: "Li is pregnant."

It also said with regret: "If I had given the drug at the beginning, this wouldn't have happened."

Shen Jiang rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "You have even less moral integrity than I do."

The system cried out that it was wronged, and made excuses for its own lack of bottom line: "Everything is for the mission, host!"

Shen Jiang: "I can win without using these tricks! Think about it, what is my status? The legitimate wife! What's in my belly? The legitimate eldest son! It's simply a king bomb at the beginning, with a flying dragon riding on my face, it's hard for me to lose!"

System: "Then why did the original owner lose?"

Shen Jiang: "First, no favor; second, the death of the child. So, as long as you can keep my favor and save the child's life, it will be enough."

System: "The host's favor depends on you, and the child's future is in my hands! When the two of us join forces, our harem will be invincible! Ahahahaha..."

Shen Jiang: "Don't smile like a psychopathic villain."

System: "Okay, host."

The emotion was completely cleared up in an instant, he is truly a master at changing his expression.

Shen Jiang sighed, this system is really difficult to manage!

After more than half a month, Guixiang, who was beside Li, reported that Li had stopped changing her clothes. Shen Jiang invited the imperial physician to come, and after checking her pulse, the imperial physician said that it was too early to tell whether she was pregnant. After another half a month, the pulse was obvious, confirming that Li was pregnant.

The palace maids around Li all breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the princess would completely fall out of favor after angering the Fourth Prince last time, but they didn't expect that this child would come so timely!

Li was still frightened, stroking her flat belly and praying silently: God, please give me a son this time! It must be a son!
