Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 108 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 33

Everything is going well for Le Shu.

Although there were some twists and turns on Yinzhen's side, he managed to resolve them all.

As for this twist, it was mainly due to the different focuses between Yinzhen and the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was used to considering profit issues with a businessman's mindset, while Yinzhen focused more on how to control Mongolia.

The fifth prince supported Yinzhen, and the tenth prince supported the ninth prince, but it was useless as the ninth prince was eventually persuaded by Yinzhen.

Yinzhen discovered the Ninth Prince's strengths and that he was good at dealing with businessmen. After much deliberation, Yinzhen sent him to develop sales channels, and Jiang Liangcai worked with him.

Jiang Liangcai had just followed the Thirteenth Prince before, so he had no shortage of abilities. After training for a period of time, he became quite methodical in doing things.

Shaoguangyuan.

Xiaolan: "Princess, Sister Chamei from the main courtyard is here."

Le Shu stood up and said, "I guess Fu Jin wants to see me for something."

Seeing Chamei, Le Shu smiled and said, "Does Fu Jin have anything to ask you?"

Chamei bowed and stood up: "Just now, the Empress Defei sent a nanny to say that she wanted to see Prince Hongxu, and the wife sent a servant to tell the princess that we will go to the palace together to pay respects to the Empress tomorrow.

I have brought the message to you. Fu Jin wants you to prepare for entering the palace tomorrow. I will not disturb you. I will go back and tell Fu Jin."

Le Shu nodded: "I understand. Thank you for your help. Aunt Su, please see Miss Chamei off."

After seeing off the camellia, the smile on Le Shu's face disappeared.

She hadn't even met Consort De yet! She wasn't the first empress dowager to appear in history books, but she was very rare.

After she gave birth to Hongxu, Concubine De sent people to instigate her. She heard about this from Nanny Su after she got out of the confinement period. Le Shu also understood that Concubine De was hostile to her, but she didn't know why Concubine De wanted to see her at this time.

The next day, Le Shu dressed appropriately and took Hong Xu to the main courtyard.

"Today I am going to pay my respects to the Empress. Once you enter the palace, just follow me and don't talk too much. The Empress is well-known in the palace for her kindness. The Emperor has repeatedly praised her for her motherly heart and outstanding virtues."

I understand. No matter what Concubine De thinks, at least this person does a good job on the surface.

Moreover, Le Shu discovered that privately, Fu Jin called Defei "Niangniang" instead of "Empress", which shows the bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Thank you for your advice, Madam. I'll save it now."

Although Ulanara couldn't say that she liked Le Shu, she was very satisfied with her peace of mind. Hongxu seemed to be more likable than the children born to Concubine Li. Her attitude towards Le Shu was that once she got married, they would all prosper together, so her advice was quite sincere.

After entering the palace and looking at the tall red walls and yellow tiles, she had been to the Forbidden City before, but this was her first time in the Forbidden City. She only felt majesty and oppression.

It’s the same building, but the difference between the two eras has given this great building a completely different “temperament”.

Walking into the Yonghe Palace, one can see that the palace servants are doing things in an orderly manner. It is obvious that Concubine De is a good ruler. The layout of the Yonghe Palace is appropriate everywhere, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Greetings to my mother, may she be blessed with good health and happiness."

"I, your servant, pay my respects to you, Madam. May you be blessed with good health and good fortune."

"Everyone, get up."

Empress Defei was indeed "kind and loving" and did not force anyone to follow the rules.

Then, Defei asked the Fourth Lady to sit down with a loving face. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed, and it was a long time before they remembered their grandson Hongxu.

"Look at me, I was too busy talking to you. Hurry up and bring Hongxu over to me to have a look."

The wet nurse hurriedly carried Hongxu to Concubine De, who took a look and said with surprise: "This child is so good-looking, he looks about 60% to 70% like the fourth child. Honghui also looks like Yinzhen, what a pity..."

Halfway through her words, De Fei seemed to realize that she had made a mistake. Hong Hui's early death was the biggest pain for the Fourth Lady, so she hurriedly said, "Look at me, I'm talking nonsense again. Let's not talk about that anymore."

Ulanara could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

De Fei still felt that it was not enough, and continued: "You are still young. It's time for you to have another child."

Ulanara lowered her head and said, "Mother is right."

But they both knew that she could no longer have children.

Defei finally let the Fourth Lady go. She turned her head and looked at Le Shu. The scrutinizing and inquiring look made her uncomfortable.

Le Shu lowered her head and waited for her attack.

"This must be Chang, the woman who gave birth to Hongxu. Lift your head so I can see you."

Le Shu looked up: "Yes, Madam."

She was a concubine from the Imperial Concubine's family, so Concubine De had naturally seen her before, but she was still frightened by her appearance.

I can't help but say: "With such a beautiful face, it's no wonder that the fourth prince dotes on her. It's just that the backyard can't be favored alone. As a concubine, you should also understand this principle. The fourth prince's wife, you should also act like a legitimate wife and don't make the backyard complain."

Le Shu looked expressionless: "I dare not."

Now that "Old Four" is not at home, it would be more appropriate to wait until the person comes back before grumbling.

Ulanara: "Mother, you are too kind. Most of the concubines and princesses in the backyard were appointed by you, and Princess Chang was appointed by the Empress Dowager. They are the most obedient and follow the rules. They obey their daughter-in-law and dare not disobey her."

Concubine De smiled and said: "That's good! You are a thoughtful person, so I am relieved."

Next, Defei emphasized Hongxu again, expressed her love for him, and occasionally mentioned the past of Ulanara's son who died young.

Ulanara clenched her fists, and there was only unconcealable coldness in her eyes.

Le Shu was terrified. What kind of hatred and grudge did Concubine De have with the Fourth Lady? She was so sensitive and even dragged Hongxu into this. After all, Hongxu was her grandson!

There has to be a limit to instigating conflicts. To instigate conflicts between wives and concubines, one could perhaps assume that the mother-in-law dislikes her daughter-in-law or doesn't like her son's concubine, but using her grandson as an excuse to instigate conflicts is a bit nonsensical.

When she came out of Yonghe Palace, Ulanara's face turned pale and she felt cold all over.

For the first time, Le Shu felt the ability of Concubine De. She was worthy of being the one who broke through the siege in Emperor Kangxi's harem. With just a few words, she could break the Fourth Lady's plan.

It was also the first time that she felt the atmosphere of palace fighting. It would have been better if she was not one of the parties involved.

After leaving the palace, Ulanara's expression eased a little, and she said to Le Shu: "You don't have to take the queen's words to heart. Take good care of Hongxu. If you need anything, send someone to the main courtyard to tell him."

"Thank you, Mrs.

Defei's instigation was open and aboveboard, and she just wanted to stir up Ulanara's resentment. According to her idea, it would be best to adopt Hongxu into the main courtyard, let Le Shu fight with Ulanara, and then fall out of favor.

She didn't like Le Shu, so she tried her best to make her life miserable, but she was from her son's backyard and lived outside the palace, so she couldn't reach that far, so she could only instigate Ulanara to suppress her.

As for why she didn't do it herself, it was simply because she felt that her status wasn't worthy of her doing it herself. Didn't you see that even when she was trying to instigate others, she was praising her grandson Hongxu instead of promoting Le Shu.

The arrogance of a superior person, even though Defei had been a person of a lower position, she still could not avoid such a bad habit.

After returning, Le Shu still had people strengthen the protection of Hongxu. It was not because she did not trust Concubine Ulanara, but she was afraid that Concubine De would do something disgusting.

Judging from the way Concubine De behaved, Le Shu felt that she could do anything. She would not kill Hongxu, but it was very likely that she would make him sick.

Later, Concubine De summoned Le Shu again, and the situation was similar.

Le Shu was helpless, but fortunately Hongxu was fine.

Soon it was the end of the year, and Le Shu received a letter from Yinzhen, saying that he would be back soon, and along with the letter came a painting of peonies.

The painting was stamped with his personal seal, and the flower he painted was so gorgeous that dewdrops dripped from the stamens...

This immediately reminded Le Shu of some scenes that were difficult to describe.

Le Shu shyly asked someone to put the painting away and put it in a place out of sight in the study, hoping it would never see the light of day in this lifetime.
