Four Lords dote on his wife daily
Chapter 59
On the way back, Fujin and fourth master went back in the same carriage.
Fourth Master relaxed and half-lyed on the carriage, resting with his eyes closed.Fourth master was toasted a lot of wine today, and drank a little too much, and his head was a little dizzy at this time.
Fujin looked at Fourth Master hesitantly, and finally said without holding back: "Master Belle, is it appropriate to keep Qi Jia in the palace?" Fujin was full of jealousy for Mingxi being kept in the palace by the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager has never left juniors to spend the night in her Compassionate Palace, not even Wufu Jin has this blessing.
Fourth Master didn't open his eyes, and casually replied, "Why isn't it suitable?"
"The concubine is worried that Mrs. Qi Jia doesn't understand the rules of the palace, that she accidentally contradicts the nobles in the palace, or that it will be bad if she loses etiquette." Fujin's tone was full of worry, "The concubine is also worried that Mrs. Qi Jia will not be able to serve you well. good queen."
Hearing what Fujin said, fourth master opened his eyes and took a deep look at Fujin.
"With Aunt Zhou here, Qi Jia will not break the rules." Fourth Master's tone was a bit cold, "Since the imperial grandmother has left Qi Jia to accompany her, it means that she likes Qi Jia very much."
Hearing what the fourth master said, a faint light flashed across Fujin's eyes, and his tone was still very worried: "The concubine is afraid that Qi Jia will take advantage of the empress dowager's favor and then do something self-satisfied. The rules in the palace are strict. Be careful to say the wrong thing, it is a serious crime.”
Hearing this, Fourth Master frowned in dissatisfaction: "Fu Jin thinks that Qi Jia is a person who gets carried away?"
Naturally, Fujin heard that the fourth master's tone was a little unhappy, but she was even more upset now, so she didn't stop as usual, but continued: "I don't mean that, what I mean is that Qi Jia suddenly got the Queen Mother Dear dear, I was too happy or excited for a while, and did something out of the rules."
After hearing Fujin's words, fourth master naturally knew what Fujin was thinking, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.
"Don't you often praise Qi Jia's understanding of the rules, why do you think she doesn't understand the rules now?"
Hearing Si Ye's tone suddenly became very calm, Fujin's heart felt inexplicably cold, took a deep breath quietly, and pretended to be calm and said: "Qi Jia understands the rules in the mansion, but the mansion cannot be in harmony with the palace. In comparison, there are not only many rules in the palace, but they are also very strict. If you don’t pay attention, you will make mistakes. The concubine is worried that because Qi Jia is favored by the empress dowager, he will get carried away for a while and do things that break the rules. At that time, Lord Baylor will be implicated." Fujin's words were very sincere, as if he was thinking about fourth master.
"So, you think Qi Jia's family is not suitable to stay in the palace?"
"Yes."
"Fu Jin, are you asking me to disobey the emperor's grandmother's order and bring Qi Jia back to the mansion?"
The words of disobeying Yizhi frightened Fujin's face, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said quickly: "I don't mean that."
"Do you think Qi Jia's staying in the palace will bring me trouble, and asking me to bring her back from the Palace of Compassion and Ning is just to make me disobey the emperor's grandmother's order?"
"Master Belle, I don't mean that by my concubine, I just..." Fujin panicked for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"I understand what you mean." Fourth Master interrupted Fujin.
After hearing this, Fujin raised his head and looked at Fourth Master in surprise: "Master Baylor..."
"You should stay with the imperial grandmother, not Qi Jia."
The words in his heart were answered by the fourth master, Fujin became flustered unconsciously, and hurriedly retorted: "No... Lord Belle, that's not what I meant by concubine..."
"Fu Jin, you want to stay with the imperial grandmother because of your filial piety, but..." Fourth Master paused intentionally, and his tone suddenly became cold, "If you can speak Mongolian, you have been to Horqin. These two conditions, you Can it be done?" I didn't expect Fujin to be so careful, that girl Xi'er was just kept by the imperial grandmother, which made her jealous.
Fujin's face was a little pale, and he lowered his head and whispered, "I can't do it..."
"If you can't do it, don't you allow others to do it?" Fourth Master's tone suddenly sank.
It was only now that Fujin realized that the fourth master was angry, a look of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a panic, "Master Belle, this concubine doesn't mean that...the concubine is just worried about sister Qi Jia..."
The fourth master said expressionlessly: "She doesn't need your worry, you'd better take care of yourself."
After hearing this, Fujin's eyes flashed a look of unwillingness, but he didn't show it on his face, and his expression became obedient: "The concubine knows."
Fourth Master closed his eyes again and did not speak again.
Fujin was reprimanded by the fourth master, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The atmosphere in the carriage became silent, and the two remained silent all the way back to Lord Baylor's mansion.
"Su Peisheng, send someone to Mingxu Garden to inform you." If that girl Xi'er didn't come back, the minions in Mingxu Garden would definitely be worried.
"I'll do it now, slave." Su Peisheng sent Xiao Guizi to Mingxu Garden.
Lushui and Luyi were very happy and proud when they learned that Mingxi was left in the palace to accompany the queen mother.Their side Fujin is very powerful, the first time they entered the palace, they won the favor of the empress dowager.
Fourth Master returned to Lord Baylor's mansion, and instead of going to the main courtyard in a hurry, he went to Li Gege's courtyard to visit Second Elder Brother.
The second elder brother just finished drinking the milk, and he is very energetic. He opened his big grape-like eyes and looked at the fourth master curiously.
"Second elder brother, I am your Ama."
When the second elder brother heard this, he immediately gave fourth master a bright smile and giggled.
Seeing the second elder brother's smile, fourth master was slightly taken aback, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.
The nanny at the side said with a smile: "I have been taking care of the second elder brother for so long, and this is the first time I see the second elder brother smiling so happily. It seems that the second elder brother knows that Lord Belle is his ama."
Fourth master was very happy when he heard nanny say that, and his expression became very gentle. "Second elder brother is really smart."
The second elder brother continued to giggle, looking very happy.
"Second elder brother is in good spirits." Fourth master often hugs elder brother, but he has never seen such a bright and happy smile on elder brother's face.
"Yes, the second elder brother has always been in good spirits." The nanny said respectfully, "The second elder brother is more lively."
"It's better to be lively." Compared with the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother is too quiet. "You guys did a good job of serving the second elder brother."
"This is what slaves should do."
"There is a reward!"
"Master Xie Belle!"
The fourth master teased the second elder brother for a while before leaving. Before leaving, the second elder brother stretched out his hands towards him, babbling, as if he was reluctant to let the fourth master leave.
"Second Elder Brother is obedient, Ah Ma will come to see you tomorrow." Fourth Master lovingly patted Second Elder Brother's little head.
The second elder brother held his mouth shut, with tears in his big eyes.
Seeing that the second elder brother was so reluctant to let him go, the fourth master couldn't help but soften his heart: "Second elder brother, be good, Ah Ma will come to see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told the nanny, "It's getting late, let the second elder brother go to bed." "
"Yes, Lord Belle!"
Seeing that the fourth master had left, the second elder brother burst into tears, very loudly.
The fourth master couldn't bear to hear the crying of the second elder brother, but he also knew that he couldn't spoil the child, so he didn't turn around and go back.
After watching Second Elder Brother, Fourth Master called Liu Yue over and asked some questions about Li Gege.
Seeing that fourth master cared about Li Gege, Liu Yue felt relieved.She was really afraid that the master would ignore Ge Ge.
After asking Li Gege, fourth master asked about Xia Da Gege's situation with concern.
After Fourth Master left, Liu Yue went back to the room to meet Li Gege, and told Li Gege all the questions that Fourth Master asked.
Li Gege was very happy after hearing this.It seemed that fourth master still remembered her.
"Gege, the servant said that the master will not leave you alone."
"Lord Baylor still cares about me."
"Gege, there are still four days before your confinement, you don't need to worry about anything during these four days, rest well, and then appear in front of the master beautifully."
"You're right." Li Gege suddenly became very energetic.
After Liu Yue waited for Li Gege to fall asleep, she quietly backed out, and then saw Chen Zhongyi standing at the door with a sullen face.
"What's wrong, what happened?"
Chen Zhongyi dragged Liu Yue to a corner, far away from Li Gege's room.
"I just got the news that Ce Fujin did not come back with Lord Baylor and the others, and was left in the palace by the Queen Mother."
When Liu Yue heard this, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked shocked: "What? The Empress Dowager left Fujin in the palace?"
Chen Zhong put his fingers on his lips: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Grid hear you."
Liu Yue quickly covered her mouth, then lowered her voice and asked, "Is it true that Fujin was left in the palace?"
Chen Zhong nodded: "Yes, she was left in the palace by the Queen Mother."
"Did Cian Fujin make any mistakes?" Liu Yue asked deliberately.
"If you make a mistake, it is impossible to stay in the Palace of Compassion." Chen Zhongyi's expression was very solemn, "I heard that the Empress Dowager Ci Fujin is very fond of him, so the Empress Dowager left him to accompany her old man."
Liu Yue looked shocked: "How is it possible, this is the first time that Fang Fujin has entered the palace today?"
"I don't know the exact situation. I only know that Cian Fujin will stay with the Queen Mother in the palace for a period of time and will not return to the residence for the time being."
"Don't let Grid know about this, or Grid will be angry again."
"With Gege's temperament, if he learns that the Empress Dowager has left Ci Fujin in the palace, he might lose his mind and do something thoughtless."
"Why does the Queen Mother like Ce Fujin?" Liu Yue asked in puzzlement.
"Who knows." Isn't Fujin's luck on this side too good?
"Now that Fujin is favored by the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to get rid of her in the future." With the backing of the Queen Mother, Fujin is afraid that Fujin will give way to Fujin and dare not offend Fujin.I'm afraid that the master's opposite side, Fujin, will become more and more doting on him.
Chen Zhongyi frowned and said: "Yes, I really didn't expect that Fujin would be favored by the Queen Mother."
"Let's pretend we don't know about this."
"we can only do this."
After Fourth Master left Li Gege's courtyard, he went to the main courtyard to visit eldest brother, who happened to wake up too.
Compared with the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother is much more dull.A pair of eyes are not as agile as the second elder brother, nor will he have a bright smile like the second elder brother, let alone be reluctant to bear him like the second elder brother.
"Mommy, isn't Eldest Brother too quiet?"
When Mother Zheng heard Fourth Master's question, her heart skipped a beat, and then she smiled and said, "Brother is quiet and well-behaved, not as lively and active as other children." Actually, Mother Zheng was a little skeptical in her heart, but the eldest Elder Brother is still young, so he can't prove anything for the time being, we will only know when Elder Brother grows up a bit.
"It's too quiet." The fourth master felt that the elder brother was a little dazed. "Brother still can't laugh?"
"Brother doesn't smile very much." No matter how much she coaxed him, he would never laugh and would just stare blankly at her.
"Crying?"
"I seldom cry." It's just that the big brother seldom cries now. In the past, the big brother would cry when he was hungry or when he peed, but now he doesn't cry when he's hungry or peed.
The fourth master frowned slightly, and asked, "Nurse, is it normal for eldest brother to behave like this?"
"Don't worry, Lord Belle. There are many quiet and well-behaved children like Big Brother. When Big Brother grows up, he will become naughty."
"Really?" If you don't compare yourself with the second elder brother, the fourth master won't think there is something wrong with the elder brother.But compared with the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother is really too quiet.
"When big brother grows up and becomes naughty, you will have a headache." In the case of big brother, I hope she is thinking too much.
Hearing Madam Zheng say this, Fourth Master suddenly thought of his younger brother, Lao Shishi, who was a naughty child.
"If Mammy says that, then I can rest assured." The elder brother has been quiet and well-behaved since he was born, so it's not bad.
Seeing that Fourth Master trusted her so much, Madam Zheng was very moved, but also a little uneasy.
"Master Baylor, don't worry, this old slave will take good care of Eldest Brother." If it is really what she thinks, then she must tell Bayelle.Now because the elder brother is still young, he can't judge for the time being, so he can only hide it from Lord Belle.
"Of course, I'm relieved to have Mammy take care of Eldest Brother." Fourth Master returned Eldest Brother to Nanny Zheng.
"Thank you, Lord Baylor, for your trust!"
Fourth Master and Nanny Zheng left after a few words and came to Fujin's room.
"Master Belle, the hot water is ready, this concubine asks someone to wait for you to take a bath."
"kindness."
When Fourth Master went to take a bath in the ear room, Zhao Mama quietly asked Fujin: "Fujin, did you mention the new couple to Empress Defei today?"
"mentioned."
"What did Empress Defei say?"
"She didn't say anything." This morning, Fujin found an opportunity to mention to Concubine De that there were too few people in Lord Belle's mansion, hoping to arrange a few newcomers to serve Lord Belle in the mansion.Concubine De didn't say anything after hearing it.Fujin didn't know whether Concubine De agreed to this matter or disagreed with it.
"Does Concubine De agree?"
"I don't know." Fujin couldn't figure out what Concubine De was thinking.
"Now that Fujin is favored by the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid..." Zhao Nanny felt that Mingxi was a big trouble more and more.
When this matter was mentioned, Fujin's face turned cold: "I didn't expect Qi Jia to be liked by the Queen Mother." She really underestimated Qi Jia.
"Fujin, the maid said that side Fujin would be troublesome and should be removed as soon as possible." No matter how arrogant Li Gege was, he still didn't get the Queen Mother's favor.However, as for the Qi Jia clan, he was conferred the title of side Fujin within half a year after entering the mansion.Then, when he entered the palace for the first time today, he was liked by the queen mother.
Fujin also regrets a little now, but things have already happened, and it's useless to regret any more. "She's still useful."
"My servant thinks that Fujin will be more difficult to deal with than Li Gege." Now that Fujin is favored by the queen mother, I am afraid that the master will favor Fujin more and more, maybe...
"She has no children." Regardless of Qi Jia's favor being favored by the queen mother now, how long this favor can last is still a question.
Seeing that Fujin insisted on using side Fujin to deal with Li Gege, Mother Zhao knew that no matter how much she persuaded her, it would be useless, so she said nothing more.
"Ms. Li will be confinement in a few days, and then Lord Belle will ask her to be a side Fujin." Fujin said with a sullen face, "Mother, do you think that a side Fujin without children and a side Fujin with children are Which side Fujin has a more stable position?"
"Of course there are children."
"Since you know, then don't talk about getting rid of Qi Jia." Fujin said with a deep expression, "Qi Jia can't move for the time being."
"The old slave knows."
"Emiang's side..." Fujin said helplessly, "I'll mention it again next time I enter the palace." There are too few women in the mansion.
Mother Zhao suddenly thought of something, and suggested to Fujin: "Fujin, why don't you let Madam arrange for other daughters of the Wulanara family to come into the mansion to be your helpers?"
When Fujin heard Zhao Nanny's suggestion, he refused without thinking: "No need."
"But, Fujin...it will be much more convenient to have a helper to help you."
"Nurse, there is only one person in Ulanara's family who is suitable to enter the mansion. Do you know who it is?"
Zhao Momo thought for a while, then her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly pleaded guilty to Fujin.
"This old slave is talking too much, Fujin forgive me!"
"I will never let Wulanara's Furong enter the mansion." The Ulanara's Furong that Fujin said was her concubine, 13 years old this year, very beautiful, like a lotus out of water, which matches her name very well.
The relationship between Fujin and her concubine sister is not very good, mainly because Ulanara's Furong's mother is Fujin's father's favorite concubine.Relying on being favored, this concubine often challenged Fujin's mother in the mansion.Fujin hated this mother and daughter very much, how could she allow Furong to come into the mansion to serve Fourth Master with her.
"Fu Jin, that little bitch Furong is not necessary, the Ulanara family has other daughters." The Ulanara family has more than one or two daughters.
"Mommy, I don't want people from the Wulanara family to enter the mansion." In the past few years, she has not been pregnant, and Ama wants to arrange for another daughter of the Wulanara family to enter the fourth master's mansion and help her give birth to a child , to help her consolidate Fujin's position, but she refused.
Hearing what Fujin said, Mammy Zhao didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
"Master Belle is about to take a bath, you go down."
"Yes, the old slave is retiring."
Suddenly, Fujin thought of something and called Zhao Nanny to stop.
"Find a way to let Mrs. Li know that Mrs. Qi Jia has been left in the palace by the queen mother." In four days, Mrs. Li is going to give birth, and she will not let Mrs. Li go out of her confinement safely.
Momo Zhao instantly understood Fujin's meaning: "The old slave will make arrangements now."
Fourth Master came out of the shower and rested with Fujin.
Seeing that Fourth Master was lying beside her again, Fujin didn't move at all, and felt very disappointed.
Is Lord Belle so uninterested in her?
Fujin raised his hand to touch his face, could it be because of her average appearance?
Suddenly thinking of Mingxi's beautiful face, Fujin was full of envy.If she was beautiful, would Lord Belle like her?
Fourth master didn't touch Fujin, firstly, what Fujin said when he came back made him a little dissatisfied, and secondly, Fujin was too rigid on the bed, which made him feel very boring.
Fujin really wanted fourth master to touch her, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative, so she could only watch fourth master fall asleep beside her.
Fourth Master naturally didn't know what Fujin was thinking. He had been socializing all day and drank a lot of wine. He was a little tired and fell asleep soon.
Fujin moved his body lightly, lying on his side beside fourth master, looking at fourth master obsessively.
Master Belle dotes on Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qi Jia, is it because they are beautiful?
Thinking of her concubine sister, Fujin was full of jealousy.If Wulanara's Furong is allowed to enter the mansion, she will definitely be favored by the fourth master, which is something she will never tolerate.
Forget it, whether it's Li's or Qi Jia's, they can only be side Fujin forever, and it's impossible to replace her.
She will always be Baylor's Fujin in her life!
It doesn't matter if she doesn't get the favor of the fourth master, she still has a big brother.
Thinking of this, Fujin felt much better, and fell asleep after a while.
However, Ming Xi, who is far away in the palace at this time, suffers from insomnia.
Ming Xi was arranged to live in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, probably because of a change of environment, Ming Xi accepted the bed very timidly, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Aunt Zhou who was sleeping on the couch woke up in a daze when she heard Ming Xi's sigh, and asked with concern: "Cian Fujin, are you still awake?"
"Auntie, I woke you up."
"No, the servant just woke up."
"I can not sleep."
"Cian Fujin, probably changed places, so I'm not used to it."
"Perhaps." In an unfamiliar environment, with no familiar people around, it was difficult to fall asleep.
"If Zan Fujin doesn't dislike it, my servant can sleep with you."
"Okay."
When Aunt Zhou lay down beside her, Ming Xi asked: "Auntie, I'm in the palace now, do I want to pay my respects to Empress Defei tomorrow morning?"
"Of course it is."
"Okay, I'll go to the Yonghe Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager tomorrow morning after breakfast." To be honest, judging from her contact with De Concubine yesterday, De Concubine is a very indifferent person, probably because she doesn't like Fourth Master's son, So he didn't like fourth master's daughter-in-law very much.
"Cian Fujin, you are now favored by the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will not make things difficult for you."
"I know this."
"Cian Fujin, it's getting late, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, go to bed quickly."
Hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Ming Xi remembered that from tomorrow onwards, she would not be able to sleep in late, and had to get up early every morning.For those who love to sleep late, this is really too painful.
Probably because Aunt Zhou was lying beside her, Ming Xi felt inexplicably relieved, and fell asleep after a while.
Seeing that Ming Xi had fallen asleep, Aunt Zhou continued to sleep in peace.
Early the next morning, Ming Xi was woken up by Aunt Zhou.
When Ming Xi finished her dressing and went to see the Queen Mother, she was told by the nuns beside the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother hadn't woken up yet.
"Yesterday I forgot to tell Fujin that the Empress Dowager gets up every morning at four o'clock." Four o'clock is eight o'clock.
"So that's how it is. Then I'll go to the Yonghe Palace to pay my respects to Er Niang, and then I'll come back to have breakfast with the imperial grandmother." I didn't get up until eight o'clock in the morning. It seems that the Queen Mother also likes to sleep late.
"Cian Fujin walk slowly."
As soon as Ming Xi took Aunt Zhou out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he ran into Fourth Master who just came over.
Seeing Fourth Master, Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became sparkling, and she ran to Fourth Master with joy on her face.
"Master..." Ming Xi just opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that this is the place in the palace where the rules are the most important, and immediately bowed to the fourth master, "I have met Lord Baylor, good luck to Lord Baylor!"
The fourth master who was greeted was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared in his eyes: "Get up." Fujin was also worried that the girl Xi'er would break the rules because of the Queen Mother's favor, never thought that this girl would be very cautious in the palace. .
"Master Xie Belle." Ming Xi stood up and smiled brightly at Fourth Master, "Master, are you in court?"
"Well, come here to pay respects to the imperial grandmother." Greetings to the imperial grandmother is a cover, but the real purpose is to come to see Mingxi.
"Grandmother hasn't woken up yet." Ming Xi said with a smile.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Yonghe Palace and pay my respects to Er Niang."
"go together."
"Master, haven't you been to the Yonghe Palace yet?"
"No, I plan to greet the emperor's grandmother before going to Yonghe Palace."
"Nurse said that the imperial grandma didn't get up until four o'clock every morning, sir, don't you know?"
"I don't know, the imperial grandmother doesn't like to be disturbed, so she rarely asks us to pay her respects." Every time there is a big event in the palace, the imperial grandmother will let them, the younger generation, pay her respects.
"So this is ah."
Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi who was walking beside him, and asked with concern: "Are you used to it in the palace?"
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master say that, she immediately said with a bitter face: "I'm not used to it, I almost lost sleep last night."
Fourth Master expected that Mingxi would be in a new environment, he might be uneasy and might not be able to sleep.
"Stay a few days longer and get used to it."
"It is."
"Didn't you upset the imperial grandmother?"
"How is it possible, the emperor's grandmother is very happy with me." Ming Xi raised her chin slightly, with a smug expression on her face.
Seeing Mingxi's triumphant appearance, Fourth Master showed a smile on his face: "What did you do to make the imperial grandmother happy?"
"I told the story of "Journey to the West" to the imperial grandmother." Ming Xi said with a smile, "The imperial grandmother likes to listen to it very much."
Fourth Master suddenly thought of something, and looked at Mingxi with a very ambiguous look: "You are quite good at telling stories, especially reading stories."
Ming Xi instantly understood what Fourth Master meant, her fair little face was immediately flushed, and she glared at Fourth Master angrily.
"Grandpa, can you play hooligans early in the morning?"
Fourth Master raised his hand and touched Mingxi's forehead: "Speaking is becoming more and more indifferent."
Ming Xi snorted coldly: "Hmph!"
"Since the imperial grandmother likes to listen to your stories, you should tell more stories to the imperial grandmother."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "I know. In fact, the imperial grandmother is very lonely."
Fourth Master nodded slightly: "En."
"Master, I'll stay in the palace for a few more days and spend some time with the imperial grandmother." The imperial grandmother has been married into the palace for decades without a single child.It turned out that there were her closest relatives in the palace, and they depended on each other for life with the Empress Dowager.As a result, the Empress Dowager also left, and the Empress Dowager was left alone in the palace with a language barrier, so she inevitably felt lonely in her heart.
Hearing what Mingxi said, fourth master felt a warm feeling in his heart, and his expression became very gentle: "Okay." Why is this girl so kind.
"The emperor's grandmother can't speak Chinese or Manchu. She can only speak Mongolian, but there are very few people in the palace who can speak Mongolian. She wants to have a good chat with others and has no one." Queen Mother, she may not be able to bear this kind of loneliness. "Fortunately, I can speak Mongolian, and I have been to Horqin, so I can talk to the imperial grandmother and help her old man relieve her boredom."
Fourth Master reached out to hold Ming Xi's hand, squeezed her palm gently, and said with a smile: "My Xi'er is really filial."
Being praised, Ming Xi raised her chin slightly, and said with a proud face, "That is."
The two walked and chatted, and soon arrived at Yonghe Palace.
Seeing Fourth Master and Ming Xi coming in together, Concubine De frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
"I send my greetings to Er Niang, Er Niang is auspicious!"
"Get up!"
Concubine De motioned for Ming Xi and Fourth Master to sit down.
"Qi Jia, you served the Empress Dowager in the Compassionate Ning Palace, did you not offend the Empress Dowager?"
"Return to my mother's words, my son did not."
"It's your honor for the Empress Dowager to keep you here to serve her. You have to serve the Empress Dowager carefully and energetically, you know?" In fact, Concubine De looked down on the Empress Dowager, so she seldom went to the Palace of Compassion.However, Kangxi respected the queen mother very much, and now that Mingxi was liked by the queen mother, she pushed the boat and asked Mingxi to serve the queen mother well, so that she could gain a good impression in front of Kangxi.
"My son knows that this son will definitely serve the imperial grandmother with all his heart."
Hearing what Mingxi said, Concubine De nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, Mother Shen brought some worries.
"Master Belle, these dim sums are specially made by the small kitchen for you, please try them."
"Thank you, my mother." Fourth master picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. The sweet and greasy taste spread from the tip of his tongue in an instant. Fourth master paused for a moment, and then finished a piece of pastry with normal expression.
"How does it taste?" De Fei asked.
"It's not bad." Fourth Master knew without thinking that these dim sums were probably made by Er Niang in the small kitchen for Fourteenth Brother, and then took out some for him to eat.
Concubine De frowned a little dissatisfied when she saw that the fourth master said that the taste was not bad with a cold expression. No matter what she did, the fourth son would always look indifferent.
Seeing that Concubine De was a little unhappy, Shen Momo sighed slightly in her heart. In order to make the atmosphere better, she changed the subject and said to Ming Xi: "Ci Fujin, you should try it too."
"Thank you mother, I'm not going to be polite there." Ming Xi picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, a milky and sweet taste instantly spread on the tip of her tongue. "Delicious." Wait, this cake is so sweet... Fourth Master hates sweets the most. Doesn't Empress De Fei know that Fourth Master doesn't like sweets?
Seeing Mingxi's eyes narrowed and her face glowing, Concubine De knew that the delicious food she said was really delicious, which made her feel a little better.
"Eat it all if it's delicious." Anyway, it's left over for Fourteen.
"I'm not polite over there." Ming Xi just didn't have breakfast, so she quickly finished a plate of pastries. "Er Niang's small kitchen is very good at cooking, and the cakes they make are really delicious."
When Concubine De heard what Mingxi said, thinking that Shisi had said the same thing before, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
"A small mouth is so sweet."
"Ah?" Ming Xi pretended to be innocent, "I really think that Er Niang's small kitchen is very good at cooking, and the cakes they make are really delicious."
Seeing Ming Xi's small appearance, Concubine De couldn't help but think of Fourteen, the youngest son's mouth is also very sweet.
"I see, you want to come to my place to eat pastries every day."
Ming Xi felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were said, "I never thought that Er Niang would find out."
Concubine De laughed at Mingxi's shy look: "You girl... If you want to eat, come and eat."
When Ming Xi heard this, her face was full of joy: "Thank you, Mother!"
Seeing that Mingxi coaxed Concubine De to smile, Shen Momo was very shocked. She never thought that Lord Belle's side Fujin...has a bit of ability to make her master happy.
The following atmosphere became much warmer, no longer as cold and depressing as before.
After staying in Yonghe Palace for a while, Ming Xi left with Fourth Master.
Fourth Master looked at Mingxi who was walking beside him, thinking that she had coaxed Erniang into laughing all the time, his mood was very complicated.Ever since he was a child, Erniang had never smiled at him that much.
Seeing Fourth Master looking at her, Ming Xi raised her head and smiled sweetly at him, and said as if asking for credit: "Master, how did I behave in front of Er Niang just now?"
Seeing Ming Xi begging for compliments, Fourth Master couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and gently tapped her on the head.
"Not bad."
Ming Xi said with a smile: "I'm good." Just now she deliberately flattered Concubine De, in order to make the atmosphere between Fourth Master and Concubine De not so stiff and unfamiliar.
"I see you are greedy."
Ming Xi pouted, and said in a low voice: "I'm still not doing it for you." In fact, the craftsmanship in the small kitchen in Defei's Palace is the same, similar to that of Master Ma Benshan in the dining room of Lord Belle's Mansion.
Fourth Master was slightly startled when he heard Ming Xi's words, and then a touch of emotion appeared in his eyes.
"You..."
"I know I don't like sweets. That plate of pastries just now was too sweet." Obviously, that plate of pastries was not specially prepared for Fourth Master, but for Fourth Master's younger brother, Fourteenth Master.
The fourth master thought that Mingxi knew that he didn't like sweets even half a year after he entered the mansion, but the mother who gave birth to him didn't know that he didn't like sweets, so he felt a little blocked.
Ming Xi stretched out her hand to hold Fourth Master's hand tightly, raised her head slightly, and said softly, "Master, don't worry, I will always remember your taste."
Hearing this, the fourth master felt a warm current flow through his heart, and unconsciously grabbed Ming Xi's hand forcefully, his voice was a little low: "My Xi'er is really considerate!"
"I've always been considerate." Ming Xi winked playfully at Fourth Master.
Fourth Master raised his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Mingxi's nose, and said with a broken smile, "I'm already proud of you before I even praised you."
"Grandpa, are you hungry?"
"Not very hungry."
"I'm going to have breakfast with the imperial grandmother later, so you can join me." Ming Xi said with a smile, "The imperial grandmother will be very happy."
"it is good."
The two returned to the Compassion Palace, and the Empress Dowager had just woken up.
"Greetings to the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's grandmother is blessed and golden."
"I'm back."
"My son guessed that it was time for the emperor's grandmother to wake up, so he came back."
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"No, I have the cheek to want to have breakfast with Grandmother." After Ming Xi finished speaking, she pointed to the fourth master at the side and said, "Grandmother, Lord Belle also wants to have breakfast with you."
"Okay." The Queen Mother said happily.
The Empress Dowager's three meals are the taste of the prairie, but fortunately Ming Xi and Fourth Master can both eat them.
With Ming Xi and Fourth Master having breakfast together, the Queen Mother is in a very good mood.It's been a long time since I had such a lively breakfast.
After breakfast, the Queen Mother urged Ming Xi to continue telling the story of Sun Monkey.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so anxious, Ming Xi laughed inwardly, and continued talking about last night.
Fourth Master did not leave in a hurry, but sat aside and listened to Mingxi's story.After listening for a while, Fourth Master found that Mingxi's words were so lifelike that people couldn't help but listen to them fascinated.
In order to make the Queen Mother happy, Mingxi used exaggerated tone and expressions when telling stories.
Now, not only the queen mother listened with gusto, but also the fourth master.
Speaking of the most exciting moment, I saw a little palace lady walk in and say Concubine Liang came to pay her respects.
Concubine Liang learned that Mingxi was staying in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and in order to get closer to Mingxi, she planned to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects every day.
Fourth Master relaxed and half-lyed on the carriage, resting with his eyes closed.Fourth master was toasted a lot of wine today, and drank a little too much, and his head was a little dizzy at this time.
Fujin looked at Fourth Master hesitantly, and finally said without holding back: "Master Belle, is it appropriate to keep Qi Jia in the palace?" Fujin was full of jealousy for Mingxi being kept in the palace by the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager has never left juniors to spend the night in her Compassionate Palace, not even Wufu Jin has this blessing.
Fourth Master didn't open his eyes, and casually replied, "Why isn't it suitable?"
"The concubine is worried that Mrs. Qi Jia doesn't understand the rules of the palace, that she accidentally contradicts the nobles in the palace, or that it will be bad if she loses etiquette." Fujin's tone was full of worry, "The concubine is also worried that Mrs. Qi Jia will not be able to serve you well. good queen."
Hearing what Fujin said, fourth master opened his eyes and took a deep look at Fujin.
"With Aunt Zhou here, Qi Jia will not break the rules." Fourth Master's tone was a bit cold, "Since the imperial grandmother has left Qi Jia to accompany her, it means that she likes Qi Jia very much."
Hearing what the fourth master said, a faint light flashed across Fujin's eyes, and his tone was still very worried: "The concubine is afraid that Qi Jia will take advantage of the empress dowager's favor and then do something self-satisfied. The rules in the palace are strict. Be careful to say the wrong thing, it is a serious crime.”
Hearing this, Fourth Master frowned in dissatisfaction: "Fu Jin thinks that Qi Jia is a person who gets carried away?"
Naturally, Fujin heard that the fourth master's tone was a little unhappy, but she was even more upset now, so she didn't stop as usual, but continued: "I don't mean that, what I mean is that Qi Jia suddenly got the Queen Mother Dear dear, I was too happy or excited for a while, and did something out of the rules."
After hearing Fujin's words, fourth master naturally knew what Fujin was thinking, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.
"Don't you often praise Qi Jia's understanding of the rules, why do you think she doesn't understand the rules now?"
Hearing Si Ye's tone suddenly became very calm, Fujin's heart felt inexplicably cold, took a deep breath quietly, and pretended to be calm and said: "Qi Jia understands the rules in the mansion, but the mansion cannot be in harmony with the palace. In comparison, there are not only many rules in the palace, but they are also very strict. If you don’t pay attention, you will make mistakes. The concubine is worried that because Qi Jia is favored by the empress dowager, he will get carried away for a while and do things that break the rules. At that time, Lord Baylor will be implicated." Fujin's words were very sincere, as if he was thinking about fourth master.
"So, you think Qi Jia's family is not suitable to stay in the palace?"
"Yes."
"Fu Jin, are you asking me to disobey the emperor's grandmother's order and bring Qi Jia back to the mansion?"
The words of disobeying Yizhi frightened Fujin's face, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said quickly: "I don't mean that."
"Do you think Qi Jia's staying in the palace will bring me trouble, and asking me to bring her back from the Palace of Compassion and Ning is just to make me disobey the emperor's grandmother's order?"
"Master Belle, I don't mean that by my concubine, I just..." Fujin panicked for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"I understand what you mean." Fourth Master interrupted Fujin.
After hearing this, Fujin raised his head and looked at Fourth Master in surprise: "Master Baylor..."
"You should stay with the imperial grandmother, not Qi Jia."
The words in his heart were answered by the fourth master, Fujin became flustered unconsciously, and hurriedly retorted: "No... Lord Belle, that's not what I meant by concubine..."
"Fu Jin, you want to stay with the imperial grandmother because of your filial piety, but..." Fourth Master paused intentionally, and his tone suddenly became cold, "If you can speak Mongolian, you have been to Horqin. These two conditions, you Can it be done?" I didn't expect Fujin to be so careful, that girl Xi'er was just kept by the imperial grandmother, which made her jealous.
Fujin's face was a little pale, and he lowered his head and whispered, "I can't do it..."
"If you can't do it, don't you allow others to do it?" Fourth Master's tone suddenly sank.
It was only now that Fujin realized that the fourth master was angry, a look of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a panic, "Master Belle, this concubine doesn't mean that...the concubine is just worried about sister Qi Jia..."
The fourth master said expressionlessly: "She doesn't need your worry, you'd better take care of yourself."
After hearing this, Fujin's eyes flashed a look of unwillingness, but he didn't show it on his face, and his expression became obedient: "The concubine knows."
Fourth Master closed his eyes again and did not speak again.
Fujin was reprimanded by the fourth master, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The atmosphere in the carriage became silent, and the two remained silent all the way back to Lord Baylor's mansion.
"Su Peisheng, send someone to Mingxu Garden to inform you." If that girl Xi'er didn't come back, the minions in Mingxu Garden would definitely be worried.
"I'll do it now, slave." Su Peisheng sent Xiao Guizi to Mingxu Garden.
Lushui and Luyi were very happy and proud when they learned that Mingxi was left in the palace to accompany the queen mother.Their side Fujin is very powerful, the first time they entered the palace, they won the favor of the empress dowager.
Fourth Master returned to Lord Baylor's mansion, and instead of going to the main courtyard in a hurry, he went to Li Gege's courtyard to visit Second Elder Brother.
The second elder brother just finished drinking the milk, and he is very energetic. He opened his big grape-like eyes and looked at the fourth master curiously.
"Second elder brother, I am your Ama."
When the second elder brother heard this, he immediately gave fourth master a bright smile and giggled.
Seeing the second elder brother's smile, fourth master was slightly taken aback, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.
The nanny at the side said with a smile: "I have been taking care of the second elder brother for so long, and this is the first time I see the second elder brother smiling so happily. It seems that the second elder brother knows that Lord Belle is his ama."
Fourth master was very happy when he heard nanny say that, and his expression became very gentle. "Second elder brother is really smart."
The second elder brother continued to giggle, looking very happy.
"Second elder brother is in good spirits." Fourth master often hugs elder brother, but he has never seen such a bright and happy smile on elder brother's face.
"Yes, the second elder brother has always been in good spirits." The nanny said respectfully, "The second elder brother is more lively."
"It's better to be lively." Compared with the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother is too quiet. "You guys did a good job of serving the second elder brother."
"This is what slaves should do."
"There is a reward!"
"Master Xie Belle!"
The fourth master teased the second elder brother for a while before leaving. Before leaving, the second elder brother stretched out his hands towards him, babbling, as if he was reluctant to let the fourth master leave.
"Second Elder Brother is obedient, Ah Ma will come to see you tomorrow." Fourth Master lovingly patted Second Elder Brother's little head.
The second elder brother held his mouth shut, with tears in his big eyes.
Seeing that the second elder brother was so reluctant to let him go, the fourth master couldn't help but soften his heart: "Second elder brother, be good, Ah Ma will come to see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told the nanny, "It's getting late, let the second elder brother go to bed." "
"Yes, Lord Belle!"
Seeing that the fourth master had left, the second elder brother burst into tears, very loudly.
The fourth master couldn't bear to hear the crying of the second elder brother, but he also knew that he couldn't spoil the child, so he didn't turn around and go back.
After watching Second Elder Brother, Fourth Master called Liu Yue over and asked some questions about Li Gege.
Seeing that fourth master cared about Li Gege, Liu Yue felt relieved.She was really afraid that the master would ignore Ge Ge.
After asking Li Gege, fourth master asked about Xia Da Gege's situation with concern.
After Fourth Master left, Liu Yue went back to the room to meet Li Gege, and told Li Gege all the questions that Fourth Master asked.
Li Gege was very happy after hearing this.It seemed that fourth master still remembered her.
"Gege, the servant said that the master will not leave you alone."
"Lord Baylor still cares about me."
"Gege, there are still four days before your confinement, you don't need to worry about anything during these four days, rest well, and then appear in front of the master beautifully."
"You're right." Li Gege suddenly became very energetic.
After Liu Yue waited for Li Gege to fall asleep, she quietly backed out, and then saw Chen Zhongyi standing at the door with a sullen face.
"What's wrong, what happened?"
Chen Zhongyi dragged Liu Yue to a corner, far away from Li Gege's room.
"I just got the news that Ce Fujin did not come back with Lord Baylor and the others, and was left in the palace by the Queen Mother."
When Liu Yue heard this, her eyes widened in shock, and she looked shocked: "What? The Empress Dowager left Fujin in the palace?"
Chen Zhong put his fingers on his lips: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Grid hear you."
Liu Yue quickly covered her mouth, then lowered her voice and asked, "Is it true that Fujin was left in the palace?"
Chen Zhong nodded: "Yes, she was left in the palace by the Queen Mother."
"Did Cian Fujin make any mistakes?" Liu Yue asked deliberately.
"If you make a mistake, it is impossible to stay in the Palace of Compassion." Chen Zhongyi's expression was very solemn, "I heard that the Empress Dowager Ci Fujin is very fond of him, so the Empress Dowager left him to accompany her old man."
Liu Yue looked shocked: "How is it possible, this is the first time that Fang Fujin has entered the palace today?"
"I don't know the exact situation. I only know that Cian Fujin will stay with the Queen Mother in the palace for a period of time and will not return to the residence for the time being."
"Don't let Grid know about this, or Grid will be angry again."
"With Gege's temperament, if he learns that the Empress Dowager has left Ci Fujin in the palace, he might lose his mind and do something thoughtless."
"Why does the Queen Mother like Ce Fujin?" Liu Yue asked in puzzlement.
"Who knows." Isn't Fujin's luck on this side too good?
"Now that Fujin is favored by the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to get rid of her in the future." With the backing of the Queen Mother, Fujin is afraid that Fujin will give way to Fujin and dare not offend Fujin.I'm afraid that the master's opposite side, Fujin, will become more and more doting on him.
Chen Zhongyi frowned and said: "Yes, I really didn't expect that Fujin would be favored by the Queen Mother."
"Let's pretend we don't know about this."
"we can only do this."
After Fourth Master left Li Gege's courtyard, he went to the main courtyard to visit eldest brother, who happened to wake up too.
Compared with the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother is much more dull.A pair of eyes are not as agile as the second elder brother, nor will he have a bright smile like the second elder brother, let alone be reluctant to bear him like the second elder brother.
"Mommy, isn't Eldest Brother too quiet?"
When Mother Zheng heard Fourth Master's question, her heart skipped a beat, and then she smiled and said, "Brother is quiet and well-behaved, not as lively and active as other children." Actually, Mother Zheng was a little skeptical in her heart, but the eldest Elder Brother is still young, so he can't prove anything for the time being, we will only know when Elder Brother grows up a bit.
"It's too quiet." The fourth master felt that the elder brother was a little dazed. "Brother still can't laugh?"
"Brother doesn't smile very much." No matter how much she coaxed him, he would never laugh and would just stare blankly at her.
"Crying?"
"I seldom cry." It's just that the big brother seldom cries now. In the past, the big brother would cry when he was hungry or when he peed, but now he doesn't cry when he's hungry or peed.
The fourth master frowned slightly, and asked, "Nurse, is it normal for eldest brother to behave like this?"
"Don't worry, Lord Belle. There are many quiet and well-behaved children like Big Brother. When Big Brother grows up, he will become naughty."
"Really?" If you don't compare yourself with the second elder brother, the fourth master won't think there is something wrong with the elder brother.But compared with the second elder brother, the eldest elder brother is really too quiet.
"When big brother grows up and becomes naughty, you will have a headache." In the case of big brother, I hope she is thinking too much.
Hearing Madam Zheng say this, Fourth Master suddenly thought of his younger brother, Lao Shishi, who was a naughty child.
"If Mammy says that, then I can rest assured." The elder brother has been quiet and well-behaved since he was born, so it's not bad.
Seeing that Fourth Master trusted her so much, Madam Zheng was very moved, but also a little uneasy.
"Master Baylor, don't worry, this old slave will take good care of Eldest Brother." If it is really what she thinks, then she must tell Bayelle.Now because the elder brother is still young, he can't judge for the time being, so he can only hide it from Lord Belle.
"Of course, I'm relieved to have Mammy take care of Eldest Brother." Fourth Master returned Eldest Brother to Nanny Zheng.
"Thank you, Lord Baylor, for your trust!"
Fourth Master and Nanny Zheng left after a few words and came to Fujin's room.
"Master Belle, the hot water is ready, this concubine asks someone to wait for you to take a bath."
"kindness."
When Fourth Master went to take a bath in the ear room, Zhao Mama quietly asked Fujin: "Fujin, did you mention the new couple to Empress Defei today?"
"mentioned."
"What did Empress Defei say?"
"She didn't say anything." This morning, Fujin found an opportunity to mention to Concubine De that there were too few people in Lord Belle's mansion, hoping to arrange a few newcomers to serve Lord Belle in the mansion.Concubine De didn't say anything after hearing it.Fujin didn't know whether Concubine De agreed to this matter or disagreed with it.
"Does Concubine De agree?"
"I don't know." Fujin couldn't figure out what Concubine De was thinking.
"Now that Fujin is favored by the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid..." Zhao Nanny felt that Mingxi was a big trouble more and more.
When this matter was mentioned, Fujin's face turned cold: "I didn't expect Qi Jia to be liked by the Queen Mother." She really underestimated Qi Jia.
"Fujin, the maid said that side Fujin would be troublesome and should be removed as soon as possible." No matter how arrogant Li Gege was, he still didn't get the Queen Mother's favor.However, as for the Qi Jia clan, he was conferred the title of side Fujin within half a year after entering the mansion.Then, when he entered the palace for the first time today, he was liked by the queen mother.
Fujin also regrets a little now, but things have already happened, and it's useless to regret any more. "She's still useful."
"My servant thinks that Fujin will be more difficult to deal with than Li Gege." Now that Fujin is favored by the queen mother, I am afraid that the master will favor Fujin more and more, maybe...
"She has no children." Regardless of Qi Jia's favor being favored by the queen mother now, how long this favor can last is still a question.
Seeing that Fujin insisted on using side Fujin to deal with Li Gege, Mother Zhao knew that no matter how much she persuaded her, it would be useless, so she said nothing more.
"Ms. Li will be confinement in a few days, and then Lord Belle will ask her to be a side Fujin." Fujin said with a sullen face, "Mother, do you think that a side Fujin without children and a side Fujin with children are Which side Fujin has a more stable position?"
"Of course there are children."
"Since you know, then don't talk about getting rid of Qi Jia." Fujin said with a deep expression, "Qi Jia can't move for the time being."
"The old slave knows."
"Emiang's side..." Fujin said helplessly, "I'll mention it again next time I enter the palace." There are too few women in the mansion.
Mother Zhao suddenly thought of something, and suggested to Fujin: "Fujin, why don't you let Madam arrange for other daughters of the Wulanara family to come into the mansion to be your helpers?"
When Fujin heard Zhao Nanny's suggestion, he refused without thinking: "No need."
"But, Fujin...it will be much more convenient to have a helper to help you."
"Nurse, there is only one person in Ulanara's family who is suitable to enter the mansion. Do you know who it is?"
Zhao Momo thought for a while, then her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly pleaded guilty to Fujin.
"This old slave is talking too much, Fujin forgive me!"
"I will never let Wulanara's Furong enter the mansion." The Ulanara's Furong that Fujin said was her concubine, 13 years old this year, very beautiful, like a lotus out of water, which matches her name very well.
The relationship between Fujin and her concubine sister is not very good, mainly because Ulanara's Furong's mother is Fujin's father's favorite concubine.Relying on being favored, this concubine often challenged Fujin's mother in the mansion.Fujin hated this mother and daughter very much, how could she allow Furong to come into the mansion to serve Fourth Master with her.
"Fu Jin, that little bitch Furong is not necessary, the Ulanara family has other daughters." The Ulanara family has more than one or two daughters.
"Mommy, I don't want people from the Wulanara family to enter the mansion." In the past few years, she has not been pregnant, and Ama wants to arrange for another daughter of the Wulanara family to enter the fourth master's mansion and help her give birth to a child , to help her consolidate Fujin's position, but she refused.
Hearing what Fujin said, Mammy Zhao didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
"Master Belle is about to take a bath, you go down."
"Yes, the old slave is retiring."
Suddenly, Fujin thought of something and called Zhao Nanny to stop.
"Find a way to let Mrs. Li know that Mrs. Qi Jia has been left in the palace by the queen mother." In four days, Mrs. Li is going to give birth, and she will not let Mrs. Li go out of her confinement safely.
Momo Zhao instantly understood Fujin's meaning: "The old slave will make arrangements now."
Fourth Master came out of the shower and rested with Fujin.
Seeing that Fourth Master was lying beside her again, Fujin didn't move at all, and felt very disappointed.
Is Lord Belle so uninterested in her?
Fujin raised his hand to touch his face, could it be because of her average appearance?
Suddenly thinking of Mingxi's beautiful face, Fujin was full of envy.If she was beautiful, would Lord Belle like her?
Fourth master didn't touch Fujin, firstly, what Fujin said when he came back made him a little dissatisfied, and secondly, Fujin was too rigid on the bed, which made him feel very boring.
Fujin really wanted fourth master to touch her, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative, so she could only watch fourth master fall asleep beside her.
Fourth Master naturally didn't know what Fujin was thinking. He had been socializing all day and drank a lot of wine. He was a little tired and fell asleep soon.
Fujin moved his body lightly, lying on his side beside fourth master, looking at fourth master obsessively.
Master Belle dotes on Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qi Jia, is it because they are beautiful?
Thinking of her concubine sister, Fujin was full of jealousy.If Wulanara's Furong is allowed to enter the mansion, she will definitely be favored by the fourth master, which is something she will never tolerate.
Forget it, whether it's Li's or Qi Jia's, they can only be side Fujin forever, and it's impossible to replace her.
She will always be Baylor's Fujin in her life!
It doesn't matter if she doesn't get the favor of the fourth master, she still has a big brother.
Thinking of this, Fujin felt much better, and fell asleep after a while.
However, Ming Xi, who is far away in the palace at this time, suffers from insomnia.
Ming Xi was arranged to live in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, probably because of a change of environment, Ming Xi accepted the bed very timidly, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Aunt Zhou who was sleeping on the couch woke up in a daze when she heard Ming Xi's sigh, and asked with concern: "Cian Fujin, are you still awake?"
"Auntie, I woke you up."
"No, the servant just woke up."
"I can not sleep."
"Cian Fujin, probably changed places, so I'm not used to it."
"Perhaps." In an unfamiliar environment, with no familiar people around, it was difficult to fall asleep.
"If Zan Fujin doesn't dislike it, my servant can sleep with you."
"Okay."
When Aunt Zhou lay down beside her, Ming Xi asked: "Auntie, I'm in the palace now, do I want to pay my respects to Empress Defei tomorrow morning?"
"Of course it is."
"Okay, I'll go to the Yonghe Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager tomorrow morning after breakfast." To be honest, judging from her contact with De Concubine yesterday, De Concubine is a very indifferent person, probably because she doesn't like Fourth Master's son, So he didn't like fourth master's daughter-in-law very much.
"Cian Fujin, you are now favored by the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will not make things difficult for you."
"I know this."
"Cian Fujin, it's getting late, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, go to bed quickly."
Hearing what Aunt Zhou said, Ming Xi remembered that from tomorrow onwards, she would not be able to sleep in late, and had to get up early every morning.For those who love to sleep late, this is really too painful.
Probably because Aunt Zhou was lying beside her, Ming Xi felt inexplicably relieved, and fell asleep after a while.
Seeing that Ming Xi had fallen asleep, Aunt Zhou continued to sleep in peace.
Early the next morning, Ming Xi was woken up by Aunt Zhou.
When Ming Xi finished her dressing and went to see the Queen Mother, she was told by the nuns beside the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother hadn't woken up yet.
"Yesterday I forgot to tell Fujin that the Empress Dowager gets up every morning at four o'clock." Four o'clock is eight o'clock.
"So that's how it is. Then I'll go to the Yonghe Palace to pay my respects to Er Niang, and then I'll come back to have breakfast with the imperial grandmother." I didn't get up until eight o'clock in the morning. It seems that the Queen Mother also likes to sleep late.
"Cian Fujin walk slowly."
As soon as Ming Xi took Aunt Zhou out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he ran into Fourth Master who just came over.
Seeing Fourth Master, Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became sparkling, and she ran to Fourth Master with joy on her face.
"Master..." Ming Xi just opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that this is the place in the palace where the rules are the most important, and immediately bowed to the fourth master, "I have met Lord Baylor, good luck to Lord Baylor!"
The fourth master who was greeted was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared in his eyes: "Get up." Fujin was also worried that the girl Xi'er would break the rules because of the Queen Mother's favor, never thought that this girl would be very cautious in the palace. .
"Master Xie Belle." Ming Xi stood up and smiled brightly at Fourth Master, "Master, are you in court?"
"Well, come here to pay respects to the imperial grandmother." Greetings to the imperial grandmother is a cover, but the real purpose is to come to see Mingxi.
"Grandmother hasn't woken up yet." Ming Xi said with a smile.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Yonghe Palace and pay my respects to Er Niang."
"go together."
"Master, haven't you been to the Yonghe Palace yet?"
"No, I plan to greet the emperor's grandmother before going to Yonghe Palace."
"Nurse said that the imperial grandma didn't get up until four o'clock every morning, sir, don't you know?"
"I don't know, the imperial grandmother doesn't like to be disturbed, so she rarely asks us to pay her respects." Every time there is a big event in the palace, the imperial grandmother will let them, the younger generation, pay her respects.
"So this is ah."
Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi who was walking beside him, and asked with concern: "Are you used to it in the palace?"
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master say that, she immediately said with a bitter face: "I'm not used to it, I almost lost sleep last night."
Fourth Master expected that Mingxi would be in a new environment, he might be uneasy and might not be able to sleep.
"Stay a few days longer and get used to it."
"It is."
"Didn't you upset the imperial grandmother?"
"How is it possible, the emperor's grandmother is very happy with me." Ming Xi raised her chin slightly, with a smug expression on her face.
Seeing Mingxi's triumphant appearance, Fourth Master showed a smile on his face: "What did you do to make the imperial grandmother happy?"
"I told the story of "Journey to the West" to the imperial grandmother." Ming Xi said with a smile, "The imperial grandmother likes to listen to it very much."
Fourth Master suddenly thought of something, and looked at Mingxi with a very ambiguous look: "You are quite good at telling stories, especially reading stories."
Ming Xi instantly understood what Fourth Master meant, her fair little face was immediately flushed, and she glared at Fourth Master angrily.
"Grandpa, can you play hooligans early in the morning?"
Fourth Master raised his hand and touched Mingxi's forehead: "Speaking is becoming more and more indifferent."
Ming Xi snorted coldly: "Hmph!"
"Since the imperial grandmother likes to listen to your stories, you should tell more stories to the imperial grandmother."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "I know. In fact, the imperial grandmother is very lonely."
Fourth Master nodded slightly: "En."
"Master, I'll stay in the palace for a few more days and spend some time with the imperial grandmother." The imperial grandmother has been married into the palace for decades without a single child.It turned out that there were her closest relatives in the palace, and they depended on each other for life with the Empress Dowager.As a result, the Empress Dowager also left, and the Empress Dowager was left alone in the palace with a language barrier, so she inevitably felt lonely in her heart.
Hearing what Mingxi said, fourth master felt a warm feeling in his heart, and his expression became very gentle: "Okay." Why is this girl so kind.
"The emperor's grandmother can't speak Chinese or Manchu. She can only speak Mongolian, but there are very few people in the palace who can speak Mongolian. She wants to have a good chat with others and has no one." Queen Mother, she may not be able to bear this kind of loneliness. "Fortunately, I can speak Mongolian, and I have been to Horqin, so I can talk to the imperial grandmother and help her old man relieve her boredom."
Fourth Master reached out to hold Ming Xi's hand, squeezed her palm gently, and said with a smile: "My Xi'er is really filial."
Being praised, Ming Xi raised her chin slightly, and said with a proud face, "That is."
The two walked and chatted, and soon arrived at Yonghe Palace.
Seeing Fourth Master and Ming Xi coming in together, Concubine De frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
"I send my greetings to Er Niang, Er Niang is auspicious!"
"Get up!"
Concubine De motioned for Ming Xi and Fourth Master to sit down.
"Qi Jia, you served the Empress Dowager in the Compassionate Ning Palace, did you not offend the Empress Dowager?"
"Return to my mother's words, my son did not."
"It's your honor for the Empress Dowager to keep you here to serve her. You have to serve the Empress Dowager carefully and energetically, you know?" In fact, Concubine De looked down on the Empress Dowager, so she seldom went to the Palace of Compassion.However, Kangxi respected the queen mother very much, and now that Mingxi was liked by the queen mother, she pushed the boat and asked Mingxi to serve the queen mother well, so that she could gain a good impression in front of Kangxi.
"My son knows that this son will definitely serve the imperial grandmother with all his heart."
Hearing what Mingxi said, Concubine De nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, Mother Shen brought some worries.
"Master Belle, these dim sums are specially made by the small kitchen for you, please try them."
"Thank you, my mother." Fourth master picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. The sweet and greasy taste spread from the tip of his tongue in an instant. Fourth master paused for a moment, and then finished a piece of pastry with normal expression.
"How does it taste?" De Fei asked.
"It's not bad." Fourth Master knew without thinking that these dim sums were probably made by Er Niang in the small kitchen for Fourteenth Brother, and then took out some for him to eat.
Concubine De frowned a little dissatisfied when she saw that the fourth master said that the taste was not bad with a cold expression. No matter what she did, the fourth son would always look indifferent.
Seeing that Concubine De was a little unhappy, Shen Momo sighed slightly in her heart. In order to make the atmosphere better, she changed the subject and said to Ming Xi: "Ci Fujin, you should try it too."
"Thank you mother, I'm not going to be polite there." Ming Xi picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, a milky and sweet taste instantly spread on the tip of her tongue. "Delicious." Wait, this cake is so sweet... Fourth Master hates sweets the most. Doesn't Empress De Fei know that Fourth Master doesn't like sweets?
Seeing Mingxi's eyes narrowed and her face glowing, Concubine De knew that the delicious food she said was really delicious, which made her feel a little better.
"Eat it all if it's delicious." Anyway, it's left over for Fourteen.
"I'm not polite over there." Ming Xi just didn't have breakfast, so she quickly finished a plate of pastries. "Er Niang's small kitchen is very good at cooking, and the cakes they make are really delicious."
When Concubine De heard what Mingxi said, thinking that Shisi had said the same thing before, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
"A small mouth is so sweet."
"Ah?" Ming Xi pretended to be innocent, "I really think that Er Niang's small kitchen is very good at cooking, and the cakes they make are really delicious."
Seeing Ming Xi's small appearance, Concubine De couldn't help but think of Fourteen, the youngest son's mouth is also very sweet.
"I see, you want to come to my place to eat pastries every day."
Ming Xi felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were said, "I never thought that Er Niang would find out."
Concubine De laughed at Mingxi's shy look: "You girl... If you want to eat, come and eat."
When Ming Xi heard this, her face was full of joy: "Thank you, Mother!"
Seeing that Mingxi coaxed Concubine De to smile, Shen Momo was very shocked. She never thought that Lord Belle's side Fujin...has a bit of ability to make her master happy.
The following atmosphere became much warmer, no longer as cold and depressing as before.
After staying in Yonghe Palace for a while, Ming Xi left with Fourth Master.
Fourth Master looked at Mingxi who was walking beside him, thinking that she had coaxed Erniang into laughing all the time, his mood was very complicated.Ever since he was a child, Erniang had never smiled at him that much.
Seeing Fourth Master looking at her, Ming Xi raised her head and smiled sweetly at him, and said as if asking for credit: "Master, how did I behave in front of Er Niang just now?"
Seeing Ming Xi begging for compliments, Fourth Master couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and gently tapped her on the head.
"Not bad."
Ming Xi said with a smile: "I'm good." Just now she deliberately flattered Concubine De, in order to make the atmosphere between Fourth Master and Concubine De not so stiff and unfamiliar.
"I see you are greedy."
Ming Xi pouted, and said in a low voice: "I'm still not doing it for you." In fact, the craftsmanship in the small kitchen in Defei's Palace is the same, similar to that of Master Ma Benshan in the dining room of Lord Belle's Mansion.
Fourth Master was slightly startled when he heard Ming Xi's words, and then a touch of emotion appeared in his eyes.
"You..."
"I know I don't like sweets. That plate of pastries just now was too sweet." Obviously, that plate of pastries was not specially prepared for Fourth Master, but for Fourth Master's younger brother, Fourteenth Master.
The fourth master thought that Mingxi knew that he didn't like sweets even half a year after he entered the mansion, but the mother who gave birth to him didn't know that he didn't like sweets, so he felt a little blocked.
Ming Xi stretched out her hand to hold Fourth Master's hand tightly, raised her head slightly, and said softly, "Master, don't worry, I will always remember your taste."
Hearing this, the fourth master felt a warm current flow through his heart, and unconsciously grabbed Ming Xi's hand forcefully, his voice was a little low: "My Xi'er is really considerate!"
"I've always been considerate." Ming Xi winked playfully at Fourth Master.
Fourth Master raised his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Mingxi's nose, and said with a broken smile, "I'm already proud of you before I even praised you."
"Grandpa, are you hungry?"
"Not very hungry."
"I'm going to have breakfast with the imperial grandmother later, so you can join me." Ming Xi said with a smile, "The imperial grandmother will be very happy."
"it is good."
The two returned to the Compassion Palace, and the Empress Dowager had just woken up.
"Greetings to the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's grandmother is blessed and golden."
"I'm back."
"My son guessed that it was time for the emperor's grandmother to wake up, so he came back."
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"No, I have the cheek to want to have breakfast with Grandmother." After Ming Xi finished speaking, she pointed to the fourth master at the side and said, "Grandmother, Lord Belle also wants to have breakfast with you."
"Okay." The Queen Mother said happily.
The Empress Dowager's three meals are the taste of the prairie, but fortunately Ming Xi and Fourth Master can both eat them.
With Ming Xi and Fourth Master having breakfast together, the Queen Mother is in a very good mood.It's been a long time since I had such a lively breakfast.
After breakfast, the Queen Mother urged Ming Xi to continue telling the story of Sun Monkey.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so anxious, Ming Xi laughed inwardly, and continued talking about last night.
Fourth Master did not leave in a hurry, but sat aside and listened to Mingxi's story.After listening for a while, Fourth Master found that Mingxi's words were so lifelike that people couldn't help but listen to them fascinated.
In order to make the Queen Mother happy, Mingxi used exaggerated tone and expressions when telling stories.
Now, not only the queen mother listened with gusto, but also the fourth master.
Speaking of the most exciting moment, I saw a little palace lady walk in and say Concubine Liang came to pay her respects.
Concubine Liang learned that Mingxi was staying in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and in order to get closer to Mingxi, she planned to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects every day.
