Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children

What is the four-character motto for smoothing things over?

The child is still young, the people are dead, it’s Chinese New Year, and they are here...

Yes, it’s coming.

The Fourth Prince is already standing in the yard, he can’t go out.

Although the Fourth Prince really didn't like this wife who had been married for less than half a year, the depressing atmosphere every time he was with her was more unbearable than reciting in the Zhaoren Hall.

But the wet nurse and palace maids around his wife came out to greet him, so he had no choice but to go in and saw his wife paying her respects to him.

"Master is here? Have you had your meal?" Shen Jiang asked with a smile while looking at the young man in front of him.

The fourth prince today is not yet the decisive and murderous Emperor Yongzheng, and he does not yet have the "kingly and domineering aura". He is just an eighteen-year-old boy with a youthful vigor.

He was quite handsome, probably over 1.75 meters tall, and was wearing an apricot-colored robe. He was traveling in the hot weather, and there was sweat on his forehead.

His eyes were bright, but the curve of his mouth revealed the awkwardness in his heart.

Without waiting for his answer, Shen Jiang signaled Shi Liu: "Go and get me some clothes to change into."

She didn’t need to say much; those who took clothes took clothes, and those who drew water drew water.

The Fourth Prince didn't say a word. He just changed his clothes, washed his face, and felt much fresher.

When he came out, he saw the dining table was full of bowls and dishes.

By the way, Mrs. Fu-jin hasn’t had dinner yet. She said she wanted to have cold noodles. Are there so many things in cold noodles?

Shen Jiang had already drunk half a bowl of sour plum soup. When she saw the Fourth Prince coming out, she smiled and said, "Master, this sour plum soup is just right. You should try it too!"

The Fourth Prince glanced at Shen Jiang's face several times and felt that the concubine looked a little strange today.

How strange is it?

She actually smiled at you! She even took the initiative to talk so much and filled the table with food and drinks!

The Fourth Prince was doubtful in his heart, but he took the sour plum soup honestly and drank it down. The cool sour plum soup dispelled the summer heat and made him feel refreshed from inside out.

"Any more?"

"Have!"

The fourth prince drank two bowls of sour plum soup before stopping. Then he looked at the dining table and asked, "How do you eat this cold noodle?"

Shen Jiang introduced them one by one, saying, "Noodles cooked in broth, rinsed with cold water, with two kinds of sauces, hot and sour and salty. These are the side dishes, just add whatever you want."

The Fourth Prince swallowed his saliva and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet," Shen Jiang was too embarrassed to say that she missed her noodles because she had to serve him, and the noodles were all clumping together! Looking at him like this, he must not have eaten, so she just asked the kitchen to make two more servings of cold noodles and add some more side dishes.

The people in the prince's kitchen are all smart people. When they heard that the Fourth Lady wanted to make two more copies, what was there for them to not understand?

The noodle chef came personally with two young eunuchs. Each eunuch held a clay pot. One pot contained noodles cooked in broth, and the other contained mountain spring water.

After bowing to the Fourth Prince and his wife, the chef personally took out the noodles and rinsed them with cold water, then introduced the side dishes on the table.

In addition to what Shen Jiang had ordered before, there were also: "This is egg sauce, this is garlic juice, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, diced pickled mustard tuber, sesame paste, braised duck meat, quail eggs..."

Shen Jiang asked the Fourth Prince, "Master, what side dishes do you like?" Then he said, "I think the egg sauce and pickled mustard are both good."

The fourth prince said, "Mix me a bowl with garlic sauce, chopped green onions and coriander, and the rest I want is braised duck, egg sauce, crushed peanuts, and mustard greens and edamame."

The chef quickly prepared a bowl of noodles for him and Shen Jiang, and they both started eating without paying attention to the people around them. Shen Jiang was full after eating one bowl, and the Fourth Prince ate three bowls in a row, looking very satisfied.

"It's really good to eat this on a hot day," the Fourth Prince nodded, "Su Peisheng, give him a reward."

The master chef kowtowed to him excitedly and took his two apprentices out to receive the reward.

Shen Jiang looked at the Fourth Prince with a smile and said, "I came up with this idea, why don't you reward me, Master?"

Fu Jin was actually joking with me?

Fortunately, the Fourth Prince had gotten over his earlier shock and said with a smile, "Whatever Fu Jin wants, just ask."

Shen Jiang said: "Master, please give me some books!"

"Book?"

"Yes, I put away all the Buddhist scriptures today. I will not copy Buddhist scriptures anymore. I will read books instead. But I don't have any other books here, so I would like to ask you to find some books for me to read."

Fujin actually stopped copying Buddhist scriptures?

The Fourth Prince looked at her for a few seconds and asked, "Why don't you copy the Buddhist scriptures?"

Shen Jiang sighed, "If I continue copying, I will become more and more pure-hearted. I am just an ordinary person, how can I be free of desires? I still want a child!"

"Puff!" The Fourth Prince almost spit out his tea.

Fu Jin is becoming more and more courageous, he thought.

However, he didn't seem to dislike such a concubine.

Song and Li were both princesses, so they were inevitably afraid and tried to please him. Fu Jin was his legal wife, and they should have been peaceful with each other, but Fu Jin was always pretentious, which he didn't like.

It feels pretty good to sit opposite each other and chat casually like this.

The Fourth Prince coughed lightly and said, "You just want to read a book. What's the difficulty? I'll pick some books for you tomorrow. Which one do you like?"

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Thank you in advance! I'm not taking the imperial examination, so you don't need to bring the Four Books and Five Classics. Just give me some travel notes, miscellaneous notes and novels!"

"Okay!" The Fourth Prince readily agreed, and then asked, "You didn't copy the scriptures today, so what did you do?"

Shen Jiang said, "I got up early and went to pay my respects to the Empress of Yonghe Palace. The Empress said that it was so hot and there was no need for me to go there every day. Filial piety is not about this."

The Fourth Prince nodded and said nothing.

Shen Jiang continued, "Your Majesty is kind. I should learn a little from you, so I also told the two princesses that they don't need to pay respects every day. Song is weak and Li is pregnant. If something happens to them, won't it be my fault?"

The Fourth Prince did not comment: "You can make the decision on these small matters."

There was an ice basin in the room, and the wind wheel brought cool air. Although there was no incense burning, the Fourth Prince could always smell a sweet fruity scent. He gradually became sleepy while chatting with Shen Jiang.

Shen Jiang waited for him to rest. She had taken a nap herself, so she was not sleepy.

The Fourth Prince woke up after sleeping for more than half an hour. He was still a little dazed when he woke up. He didn't expect that he had rested here with Lady Fu Jin.

What caught my eye was Shen Jiang's smiling face.

"Master, are you awake? The kitchen has sent fruit tea and snacks. Would you like to try some?"

The Fourth Prince got up in a daze and had fruit tea and fried crispy biscuits with Shen Jiang. After the meal, he practiced calligraphy, questioning himself while writing.

What on earth was he doing here? He just ate and slept, slept and ate all afternoon!

It seemed that I had not thought about the embarrassment of endorsing in Zhaoren Hall since I entered Fu Jin's courtyard. Even if I think about it now, I don't think it's a big deal!

It turns out that I can be so comfortable here with Fu Jin. I hope she can stay like this in the future and never change back.
