main courtyard.

The Fourth Lady was arranging flowers on the pearwood round table with a gloomy face. At this moment, her mind was not on the pot of flowers in her hand at all.

In the past half month, the Fourth Master has rarely entered the backyard. He has always gone to Piaoxue Courtyard and treated everyone else as decoration.

I originally thought that Song would be the first person the Fourth Master would visit, but I didn't expect that he would forget about her after just a few days. He still couldn't compete with Tong Jia. What a useless waste.

As he was thinking about it, the lily in his hand was suddenly pinched off, and the juice of the flower stained his palm. The nails that he had carefully maintained were now covered with green leaves.

Seeing this, Qiu Li waved away the maids beside her and stepped forward to wipe the dirt off the Fourth Lady's hands.

She looked at the Fourth Lady's face quietly, somewhat confused, and instantly understood what her master was thinking:

"Master, Concubine Tong is only a concubine no matter what, and the prince can't favor her more than you do."

The Fourth Lady listened, and although she was still angry, her face looked much better. With Qiu Li's help, she sat on the couch, her eyes becoming distant.

"Every time my mother asks me to enter the palace, she always mentions that there are few children in the mansion. The fourth master never goes to other people's courtyards. What can I do?"

The Fourth Lady said this abruptly. Qiu Li, who was standing beside her, read it silently twice and then understood what it meant. She was planning to tell the plan from her mouth.

"Master, why don't you bring your concubine over next time? If the Empress Defei asks about it, it will be a good opportunity to deal with it!"

The Fourth Lady smiled with satisfaction, but her face remained calm. She leaned quietly on the soft pillow beside her, looking lazy.

"Mother wants a grandson, and Concubine has given the most, so it is indeed appropriate to take her along. Qiu Li, next time you go back to pay your respects to Mother, remind Concubine."

Qiu Li responded with a smile, and the two of them looked like they were living a peaceful and tranquil life.

Mingxueyuan.

In the main house, the imperial physician arranged by Yinzhen had quite good medical skills. After a period of rest, Song Yurong's frail body finally got better. At least she didn't look as skinny as before.

Although she hadn't gone out for several months, Song Yurong was not completely isolated from the outside news and knew most of it.

For example, when the concubine gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the emperor gave them names on the day of their third birthday, and held a grand full-month banquet. Compared with his own third princess, Jinwen, they were as far apart as heaven and earth.

There was no expression on her paper-white face. After coughing gently a few times, Song Yurong spoke slowly. The imperial physician beside her was taking her pulse.

"The concubine's child is now over a month old, right? Twins, boy and girl, what good luck~"

The imperial physician thought she was envious and didn't think much about it. After taking her pulse, he said, "Princess, you will be fine after taking a few more doses of medicine. Go out for a walk more often and you will get better faster."

Seeing that Song Gege didn't listen to her words, she shook her head and left.

Her personal maid Si Jing was a little worried. She wanted to make her master happy, so she used the third princess as an introduction:

"Princess, when you are well again, we can raise Princess Jinwen ourselves. Princess Jinwen has gained some weight recently and can already roll over."

Song Yurong's face did not improve, but instead showed some disgust, thinking that she had worked so hard to give birth to only a princess, and that she was left with a disgusting scar, and that she would not be able to get pregnant in the future.

Just thinking about this, she couldn't control herself from resenting her daughter, which was why she didn't care much about Jinwen for three months after she finished her confinement.

"Don't mention her! How could the concubine be so lucky? She gave birth to two babies in the backyard, and both were healthy. Why wasn't it me?"

Song Yurong's expression became crazy. She had long forgotten that Tong Nuanyan had helped her and was completely immersed in jealousy.

Si Jing was frightened and dared not say a word. Because of the Song family, he hated Tong Nuanyan in his heart.

The main courtyard of Tingyuxuan.

A pair of white and slender hands carefully applied the "Skin as White as Snow" pure water on the face. It is said to beautify the skin and has become a hot item among the nobles in the capital in the past six months.

This bottle was left behind by Uya, a bondservant, when she was purchasing supplies for the harem. It went through several twists and turns before it came into her hands.

In this palace, apart from the principal wife and the concubine Tong, I am the only one who has it, right?

When she thought of this, Wu Ya Xiruo couldn't help but look proud. Although she was not the most favored person by her father in the Wu Ya family, she was also carefully cultivated by Wu Ya.

She had seen all kinds of good things, but she couldn't get what Concubine Tong made, which made her feel frustrated.

She would compare everything with others, and only after making sure that every part of the face was applied would Wu Yaxiruo apply lip balm and powder with satisfaction.

She leisurely led a maid out of the door, with a clear route, heading straight for the small garden. She knew from her spies in the past few days that whenever Yinzhen went to the backyard, he would come to the garden.

She just wanted to try her luck here. She was the least favored person in the entire palace, so how could she get pregnant with the prince?

"Pay attention later. If you see the Fourth Master coming, remind him. Do you hear me? If you are late, I will teach you a lesson!"

The maid turned pale and repeatedly said that she understood.

Wu Yaxi pretended to appreciate the flowers and walked slowly in the garden. She put some powder on herself today, which would definitely work.

Finally, when Wu Yaxiruo was getting a little impatient, the maid beside her pulled her sleeve hurriedly, and she immediately danced around the pots of flowers with confidence.

Just when she was dancing enthusiastically and felt she had achieved great success, a sarcastic female voice rang out, interrupting her dance.

"Sister Wuya, why are you dancing in the garden in broad daylight? You are so shameless~"

Uya turned around with an ugly look on her face. Not only did she not wait for the Fourth Master, but she was also caught by Li and mocked.

Li didn't expect this either. She hadn't been out for a walk for a few days and wanted to take her daughter out for a walk. Who would have thought that there would be such a big surprise?

"What? Sister Wuya, are you planning to wait for the Fourth Master here?"

Wu Ya glared at the maid next to her fiercely, and then returned to her usual weak appearance: "Sister Li, you are joking. I came out to appreciate the flowers today. Who knew that the flowers were so elegant? I danced on impulse."

Li was holding the six-year-old Huai Ke's hand. When she heard her say this, she sneered in her heart. She saw Wu Ya in the garden from a distance, but when she approached, Wu Ya started dancing.

Obviously he thought of himself as the Fourth Master.

"Huai Ke, was the dance performed by Uyagege good?"

Huai Ke was pulled out by his mother to speak. She was always a man of few words, but she was a little timid and stammered, not daring to look at Wu Ya.

"Uya, you dance beautifully."

But Uya's face was not very good. This Li actually regarded herself as a dancer and asked her daughter to evaluate the dance.

Seeing that she was so angry that she couldn't speak, Li was satisfied and took Huai Ke away, leaving Uya with a resentful look on her face, staring at her back.

Li! She will never endure this humiliation!

Uya felt deeply resentful towards Li in her heart.
