Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

When the third baby was bathed in the water, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen simply used the excuse that the twins were weak and cancelled the grand ceremony, instead holding a low-key one.

Those who were waiting to see the twins and share in the joy did not even see them, and the wives who were thinking about getting unhappy could only give up their thoughts for a while.

When Mu Xi was one month old, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen originally asked her to stay in confinement for two months. However, after Mu Xi kept acting coquettishly and asked the imperial physician to check her pulse to prove that she had recovered, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen allowed Mu Xi to stay in confinement for only one month.

When the twins, boy and girl, were one month old, the wives dressed up beautifully and vowed to outdo Mu Xi. However, when they saw Mu Xi, they were dumbfounded.

How come they gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and they were beautiful? How come they didn’t become yellow-faced women, fat and haggard like they did in their previous pregnancies and childbirths, and it took them a long time to recover?

"Eighth brother's sister, I didn't expect you to care about me so much. Are you coming in excitedly to give your sister-in-law some expensive gift?"

Mu Xi looked at the Eighth Lady and a group of other ladies coming to watch her fun with a smile on her face.

"You...how come you are out of confinement?" The Eighth Lady asked stutteringly.

"Why can't I leave the confinement period?" Mu Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at the Eighth Lady.

"Don't twins need to have two months of confinement? Fourth brother asked Fourth Sister-in-law to leave the confinement so early. It seems that Fourth Brother didn't care much about Fourth Sister-in-law after she gave birth. After all, according to the care that Fourth Prince showed to Fourth Sister-in-law before, how could he not even know this..."

The Eighth Lady couldn't hide her ears, and she began to sow discord secretly.

When the Third Lady heard what the Eighth Lady said, her eyes were filled with eagerness to try and get involved.

When the other wives heard what the Eighth Wife said, they thought maliciously in their hearts that it would be great if the Eighth Wife could sow discord between the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Wife. Why was it that they were all princes' wives, yet they had so many masters, princesses and concubines, while they always gave birth to daughters and were still not favored by their own masters?

The Fourth Lady, on the other hand, was a lifelong couple. Now she has a son and a daughter, and a legitimate grandson. She lives a happy life. She is doted on by her in-laws and the Fourth Prince. Even her mother-in-law, Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia, and her father-in-law, Emperor Kangxi, do not cause trouble for her.

Unlike them, they are set rules by their mother-in-law every day, and from time to time their mother-in-law and the emperor bestow a few princesses and concubines on their masters.

Every day there is either vying for favor or palace fighting. Nothing goes well. It's still a shame to watch the Fourth Lady live a happy and fulfilling life.

When Mu Xi heard what the Eighth Concubine said, she secretly counted the talismans in her hand. If today was not the wedding day of her twins, Mu Xi would have made the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo feel ashamed and brought shame to the whole capital.

"Whether my master favors me or not is the Fourth Prince's business, so don't worry about it, Eighth Sister-in-law."

"After all, you are my fourth sister-in-law. You are just showing concern for me. It's really true that good intentions are not rewarded." When the Eighth Lady saw that Mu Xi did not refute directly, she thought she was right and became even more arrogant.

"Oh! If anyone is concerned, it should be Imperial Noble Consort Tong Jia, that is, Mother. How can it be your turn? Does the Eighth Lady want to interfere in the affairs of the Fourth Prince's Mansion? You should not bring out your little thoughts, lest you embarrass yourself."

Mu Xi snorted coldly and looked at the Eighth Lady Guo Luoluo sarcastically.

"you......."

The Eighth Concubine wanted to say something but was stopped by the Concubine next to her.

When Mu Xi's personal maid Jinse saw that the Eighth Lady had calmed down, she turned around and went out to tell the Fourth Prince Yinzhen everything that had happened here without leaving out any words.

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen felt like cold air was gushing out of his body, and he rushed towards the Eighth Prince with a sharp knife.

The eighth prince Yinsi was confused by the look and said unhappily, "Fourth brother, did I offend you in any way? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Eighth brother, don't you know that the fourth prince looks like this? He is not looking at you on purpose! Are you overthinking it?" The tenth prince Yin E'xin blurted out the rebuttal.

The Eighth Prince Yinsi: I am really speechless because of my Tenth Brother. Which side are you on, Tenth Brother? Why are you speaking for the Fourth Prince?

Ninth Prince Yinzhen: My silly tenth brother, how can I say hello to you?
