Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 22

"Master, my concubine has lost her composure."

In the small space, the familiar aura of the man made Xiaoyi's body tense, wiped a couple of tears indiscriminately, and sat upright again to become that qualified prince Fujin.

"Are you afraid of Grandpa?"

There was a cleverness in Xiaoyi's heart, but she forgot that fourth master's ability to judge people has never been ordinary.In her previous life, from her marriage to her death, she never really saw through him.And after her rebirth, relying on her experience in her previous life, she was not too guarded against him.

It's too risky, and it seems that we will be more careful in the future.After all, in terms of judging people, she really doesn't have fourth master's talent, and she might not be able to match her in another lifetime.

These complicated thoughts flashed in Xiaoyi's mind, just in a flash.She quickly returned to normal, holding up the standard version of Fujin's face in the palace,

"What did you say, the concubine is just a little sad for a while. I don't know when I will see Ama again."

"Then you are not afraid of Grandpa?"

Xiaoyi had no choice but to lean back.He carefully controlled his movements, not letting his arms bear too much weight.Who would have thought that the person behind him wrapped his arms around her and directly wrapped her in his arms.

A small ball was in his arms, Yinzhen buried her neck, and took a deep breath.Although Fujin was polite on the surface, how could he not see the inadvertent indifference.The memory of his previous life was a little blurry, he couldn't know exactly how Fujin reacted at the moment, but in his impression, she shouldn't treat him like this.

Xiaoyi let him hold her, feeling his gentler movements, and hearing the clacking of horseshoes outside, her heart suddenly softened.In the few days since she got married, she knew how fourth master treated her.Maybe it was to win Ama's support, but she still felt it intentionally or not.

It's just that the things in her previous life affected her, making her close herself and selectively ignore this fact.But at this moment, he had just returned to his mother's house, during which fourth master didn't care about Ama's rudeness, and patiently played with Duo Xihui.

All this kindled a wave of hope in her. If she worked hard, could she expect that the husband and wife could avoid the ending of respecting each other like ice in the previous life.And Honghui will also have an Ama who loves him?

"Master, this concubine has just married into the palace and is unfamiliar with everything, so she is a little afraid of her master. In fact, she is not just afraid of her master. Everything in the palace is unfamiliar to her, so she is subconsciously careful."

"It's just that although I want to be liked by everyone, De'eriang doesn't seem to like this daughter-in-law. I'm afraid, and the Lord will hate me because of this..."

What Xiaoyi said was half true and half false, but the last point was her real concern.Although the fourth master was not raised by Concubine De himself, in his previous life whenever he had conflicts with Concubine De, he always stood by Concubine De and acted as a filial son.After her head was broken and bleeding, she also figured out the way to do it. She listened to Concubine De in everything and became a puppet with peace of mind.

"De'eriang has a master over there, so you don't have to worry too much. The master has been raised by Huang'eriang's side since she was a child, and De'eriang prefers the fourteenth brother."

"With my master's words, I can rest assured."

The carriage fell into silence again, but compared to the embarrassing atmosphere just now, it was peaceful now.All the way into the palace, the two went to greet the Queen Mother non-stop.

"The fourth family is back, how is your mother-in-law?"

"Everything is fine with Ama Erniang. They also asked their daughter-in-law to pay respects to the Queen Mother on their behalf. The emperor's mother is auspicious."

"Hello everyone, by the way, what's going on with your return ceremony today?"

It's coming, Xiaoyi cheers up.The palace is full of human beings. Yesterday at the Queen Mother's place, her return gift list fell out.Yesterday, he put back the things that fourth master had added. Putting these two actions together, combined with Concubine De's previous attitude, anyone can guess what happened.

"If you go back to the emperor's mother, the granddaughter-in-law has been taught that when living in the palace, she should be diligent and thrifty in managing the house and not extravagant. The granddaughter-in-law and the master combined it and reduced some as appropriate."

Seeing Xiao Yi with a troubled face, the queen mother nodded slightly, and the matter was similar to what she had heard.This Concubine De is too outrageous, she actually wants to withhold her daughter-in-law's return gift.Look at the pitiful ones of the old four families now, just like those Han concubines who lived under Concubine Dong E's back then.

"Get up quickly and sit next to Huang Mam."

Xiaoyi sat down on the embroidered pier next to the queen mother, "Thank you, Mam."

Seeing that she didn't take the opportunity to say anything, Concubine Yi at the side was a little disappointed.The queen mother glanced at Concubine Yi, seeing that Xiaoyi didn't say that Concubine De was wrong, she was even more satisfied.Young and old are superior and inferior, even if the elders do something wrong, it is not for the younger generation to make irresponsible remarks.The fourth family is lively and sincere, just like her.

Sensing keenly that the aura on the Queen Mother's body became more gentle, Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.It's something that everyone understands, so there's no need to talk too much about her.So she didn't say a word, and acted like she respected her elders.

"The old four family members are sensible, and Yin Qi will get married in the spring of next year. If his Fujin is as good as the old four family's, the slaves will feel relieved."

Xiaoyi each brought a bowl of tea to the two of them, "I can't take it as a compliment from my mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law is far worse than sister Shuying."

"Oh, I've heard that you two have a good relationship, let's hear it."

Thinking of Wu Fujin who had a hard life in her previous life, Xiaoyi decided to help her, "My grandson-in-law doesn't have much contact with sister Shuying, but I think she is very polite, and there is nothing wrong with her rules. Moreover, sister Shuying is not only good at riding and shooting , female red is also very good."

"During the draft, the Ai family will look after this kid well."

Concubine Yi embarrassedly covered her face with a handkerchief, Concubine De could find a daughter-in-law with the surname of Shang Sanqi.Why is she the daughter of the dignified Guo Luoluo Mansion, born in a family whose appearance is better than that of the palace girl, and the elder brother who was born with gold and jade can only match the princess of the five-flag five-rank official Wailang's family.

But the Queen Mother likes that Princess, and she can't show it too obviously.

"The empress dowager's eyesight can't be wrong."

The Queen Mother took a deep look at Concubine Yi, Yin Qi was raised by her, why would she be willing to find him a Fujin with such a low background.But the emperor planned it this way, she knew that the emperor wanted to not give Mongolia any chance, but this matter was ultimately a grievance to Concubine Yi.

"When Yinqi gets married, the Ai family will give the family two more dowry sets."

"Queen, how did this happen?"

Concubine Yi was happy, but also a little apprehensive, after all, the queen mother only gave one or two items to the first three marriages according to the rules.

"Yin Qi was raised by the Ai family, no one will talk about this. Concubine Yi, this couple lives not because of their background. Yin Qi is sincere and filial, and the Ai family likes him very much."

Tears welled up in Yifei's eyes, and Xiaoyi beat the queen mother's leg carefully, "Huangmamu and Yifei empress are such good people, everyone will like them."

"You monkey, if you say a good word to steal the good things of the emperor's mother, this red coral will be given to you."

"Thank you Mam."

Looking at her innocent smile, the Queen Mother felt as if she saw herself at the age of 13.This child looks at the rules, but her mind is simple, so protect her more in the future.It's just that Concubine De's place is really outrageous this time.

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression, Concubine Yi suddenly felt relieved.She waited here early this morning just for this encounter.Now everything is within her expectations, and she even has a premonition in her heart that the real unlucky days for Concubine De are not far away.

Xiaoyi took Shan Shan to greet Concubine De.Concubine De narrowed her eyes when she saw this thing, said a few words in a neutral manner, and then let go of the daughter-in-law who was full of herbal tea.

Sure enough, Kangxi went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother the next day, and the mother and son chatted a little.In the next half month, Kangxi visited Jingren Palace and Yanxi Palace many times, and the Yonghe Palace, which is only a wall away from the East Sixth Palace, seemed to be forgotten by the emperor.

Concubine De has long realized that she is wrong. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, she finally cheers up and goes to the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. On the way, she "ran into" the emperor.

"Greetings to the emperor."

Kangxi looked at the woman in front of him with a haggard face, and couldn't hide the joy and anticipation in his eyes when he saw him.It was also at this time that year, in order to see the fourth child, she knelt outside Jingren Palace all night in the snowstorm.Although he has had many women, Xiu'er has always been the most honest over the years. She has her own plans, but her scheming has always been open to him.

"It's so cold, you don't wear more."

"My servant has been used to it since I was a child, but the emperor has lost a lot of it recently. The weather is getting tired and colder, so this servant made you a cotton coat."

Kangxi was very moved, and Xiu'er was just confused for a while, besides, she has been thrifty for so many years, half a month's punishment should be enough.

"Li Dequan," as the servant put away his clothes, his eyes softened, "You should go back first when the wind blows, I will see you later."

Concubine De knelt down, waited for Kangxi to go away, got up and straightened her clothes, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Concubine Yi, that bitch, it's normal for the emperor not to come to Yonghe Palace for half a month, why not go now, what a pride.There are also members of the fourth family, who knew they were traitors, and even colluded with Concubine Yi to frame her.

As the sun was setting, Kangxi finished approving the last document, but Li Dequan hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the "Jiashen Catastrophe Record" was discovered by the guards and officers."
