In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

In Ulanala's mansion, Fei Yanggu learned that Yixiu went to the Fourth Prince's mansion, but not long after, she returned home directly.

He was planning to send someone to call Yixiu over to ask about the situation, but he didn't expect that before Yixiu came, Rouze's second letter arrived first.

Xin Lirou changed her previous tone and generously said that her arrangement of accompanying the baby was indeed not appropriate. After meeting Yixiu today, she remembered that Yixiu had already reached the age of marriage.

Jueluo also received a letter sent by Rouze. In the letter, Rouze only made one request, which was to ask Jueluo to marry Yixiu as soon as possible.

Jueluo didn't understand why Rouze suddenly thought of Yixiu's marriage.

After asking the maid who delivered the letter, Jueluo had an idea in her mind. Rouze was afraid that the Fourth Prince would fall in love with Yixiu.

Although Jueluo judged others by herself and believed from the bottom of her heart that the Fourth Prince would never fall in love with a concubine's daughter like Yixiu, she was still shocked when she saw Yixiu again on the day of Rouze's wedding.

I didn’t expect that little bitch would be even more beautiful than Rouze when she grew up!

It seems that I was too soft-hearted when I only let her get sick and miss the audition. If I had known that she would grow up like this, I would have given her a medicine to send her to the west, so that I wouldn't have to find a husband for her now!

Jueluo acted quickly. Within half a month, someone came to Ulanala's mansion. It was General Fuyuan's wife and her young son.

Nian Gengyao also received news about Yixiu, but his parents were out of town and it would take another half a month for them to return to Beijing.

Even though Nian Gengyao was anxious, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Yixiu would not agree, and that Fei Yanggu and Jueluo would not arrange a marriage for Yixiu so quickly.

"That little bitch is such a bargain!" General Zhaojia had good conditions in all aspects, and Jueluo was somewhat unhappy that she failed to choose a bad marriage for Yixiu.

It was also because Rouze urged her so urgently that Jueluo had no time to "select" properly, so she had to bring out General Zhaojia, the youngest son of General Fuyuan, who was originally selected as a temporary backup and shield to be engaged to Rouze after Rouze was eliminated.

Fortunately, there were many children in General Fuyuan's mansion, and the young general, as the youngest son, received little support. After Yixiu married him, she could not compare with Rouze in terms of identity or status.

Thinking of this, Jueluo suddenly felt much happier and was not so reluctant anymore.

These days, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was on business alone outside, would always think of Yixiu inadvertently every time he took a break. He thought of her when he ate, when he drank water, and even when he slept.

Apart from Yixiu, he could not remember Concubine Miao, Yuebin, or Li. Even Rouze, who was pregnant, was forgotten by him.

It was already very late that day, and Yinzhen had not yet rested. He was alone in the study, painting Yixiu's portrait. Su Peisheng and other servants were quietly guarding outside the door.

"The beauty overshadows the present and the past, and the lotus is ashamed of the jade-like face." Gently stroking the cheek of the person in the painting, Yinzhen couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

"I never thought that Ulanara Yixiu was such a stunning woman. If Yixiu had not been exempted from the election..."

Yinzhen did not say the rest of the words.

Yinzhen felt regretful in his heart. He had thought that Rouze was a rare beauty in the world. After marrying Rouze, he would not only get the support of the Ulanara family, but also a wife with both talent and beauty.

Who would have thought that things would not develop as well as imagined. Although she is gentle and beautiful, she has no ability. As the legal wife, she can't even manage the affairs of the house. Not only can she not be a good helper to him, but she is always a hindrance.

Although Rouze was pregnant and her eldest son was about to be born, Fei Yanggu still refused to give in to the Ulanara family.

Seeing that he couldn't get what he wanted, Yinzhen's feelings for Rouze became increasingly weak.

He saw Yixiu again in his mind. Yinzhen recalled the moment when Yixiu appeared. The graceful beauty, rare in the world, still felt a strong beat in his heart. He felt that he had fallen deeply in love with Yixiu and could not extricate himself.

Yinzhen was silently admiring Yixiu's portrait when Su Peisheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, there is news from the mansion."

Knowing that Yixiu would stay in the mansion to accompany Rouze during her childbirth, Yinzhen not only arranged for someone to keep an eye on the news in the main courtyard when he left, but also asked Gao Wuyong to send someone to Ulanala Mansion to check everything about Yixiu.

He thought that if he could find out Yixiu's hobbies and habits as soon as possible, he would be able to understand Yixiu's thoughts and fall in love with her sooner.

After admiring it enough, Yinzhen carefully put away the portrait and said to the outside, "Su Peisheng, come in!"

"What's going on in the mansion? Show this news to me!"

Su Peisheng stood up, handed over the letter, and quietly stepped aside.

Gao Wuyong was ordered to keep an eye on the main courtyard and Yixiu, so Yixiu was unable to see Rouze when she entered the mansion, Yixiu did not stay in the mansion and returned to Ulanara, and Rouze wrote a secret letter to Jueluo and Jueluo wanted to help Yixiu get engaged, etc.

All of this was written in today's letter, but the people sent to investigate Yixiu's situation over the years only found out that Yixiu had the habit of going to the racecourse in the north of the city to race horses, but did not find out that she had a lover, and that the lover was called Nian Gengyao.

In the Fourth Prince's mansion, in the main courtyard, Rou was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking in the mirror, waiting for the women in the backyard to come and pay their respects.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m overthinking or because I’ve really gained weight, but Rouze always feels that her face is no longer as pretty as before.

She couldn't help but confirm with Fang Ruo.

Fang Ruo took a quick look and said with a smile, "I can't tell. In my opinion, no matter what time it is, Fu Jin is still as beautiful as ever."

"No, Fangruo, no, I feel like I've become uglier and not as pretty as before." Rouze refused to accept it.

"No, you are worrying too much. You are a wife and a mother now, which is different from your unmarried period. You are elegant and graceful now, and you were pure and elegant in the past. You are equally beautiful."

"No, no, I can't do this!" Rouze was sure that she was fat. She firmly believed that she would lose her beauty if she became fat, so she began to reduce her food intake.

Since the host was not around, even greetings seemed meaningless.

Rouze had something on her mind and was not in the mood to greet everyone as usual. After speaking a few simple words, she called for the meeting to end.

When leaving, Qi Yuebin held Jixiang's hand and looked back at Rouze. Jixiang was puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with the concubine's wife, the legitimate wife?"

Qi Yuebin looked around, shook his head at Jixiang, and motioned for Jixiang to go back first.

Qi Yuebin sat quietly in Lanyue Courtyard, thinking about something. Jixiang came in from outside. Qi Yuebin asked, "Jixiang, have you seen Fu Jin's appearance today? Is she a lot plumper than before?"

Jixiang recalled the figure of Rouze that she had seen from afar and answered uncertainly, "I couldn't see clearly from a distance, but it seems that she is indeed a little plumper."

After getting a definite answer, Qi Yuebin had a clear idea in her mind. She murmured softly, "It's normal for pregnant women to gain weight, but it's not good for the baby to grow too big."

After reading the letter sent by Gao Wuyong, Yinzhen became very anxious.

My mission is not yet completed, and I have no way to return to Beijing for the time being. What if Yixiu gets engaged to someone else during this period? How can I ask the emperor to give Yixiu to me?

Although it is unlikely that the Emperor would agree, as long as I persist in my request, it is not impossible. However, if Yixiu is already engaged, that would definitely not be possible.

"Su Peisheng!"

"exist."

Seeing Su Peisheng standing aside, Yinzhen felt that he could not just stand there and watched, and he had to do something to stop Yixiu from getting engaged.

"I want to ask you, under what circumstances can a girl who is about to be married stay at home for a longer period of time without getting engaged?"
