Shock! I accidentally entered the Qing Dynasty and was spoiled by the Fourth Master
Chapter 58 Keeping an Appointment
The news that the Fourth Prince personally delivered the wedding dress somehow spread in the palace. Naturally, some people were happy while others were worried when they heard the news. Kangxi had always liked Deyin, and before he was afraid that the title of concubine was a bit unfair to her. Now seeing what his son had done, he felt relieved.
The Zhongcui Palace was not as peaceful as before. Although sending the wedding dress was a small matter, it meant that the wedding date was approaching. Seeing that her plan had not yet been implemented, Concubine Liang was a little anxious. At this critical moment, Juelan was still letting her down. Time was passing fast and she could not wait. If the wedding date was announced before Yinsi, the power in the court would fall to Yinzhen's side. Once the power of the Fourth Prince's Mansion increased, the road ahead would be more difficult for Yinsi.
Geng Yuehua rarely saw Yinzhen since the concubine became pregnant. She was not surprised to hear the news in the palace. She knew that the Fourth Master only liked her appearance. There were many beautiful women in the world, so it was not difficult for Yinzhen to get what he wanted. Now that she was no longer favored, fewer people bought into her account, and she also restrained her arrogant temper a few days ago. She could see clearly that the concubine still failed to win the heart of the prince even though she had a child. If she behaved well in the mansion, she might have a chance in the future.
Geng Yuehua thought about the past and was really annoyed that she didn't seize the opportunity. If she could have given birth to a child for the prince at that time, maybe she would still be spoiled like before, and there would be no need for Deyin now. Geng Yuehua comforted herself in her heart, but it was her who would come next, and she wanted to see how long the prince's thoughts about her could last, because he would forget the old one when he had a new one.
"Princess, the concubine invites you to have a chat. Do you want me to help you decline?" Huang Zhi tentatively asked Geng Yuehua for her opinion when she came in to deliver the message. Unexpectedly, her master actually agreed. It was really like the sun rising in the west that these two people who were usually incompatible actually sat together today.
Geng Yuehua was a smart person and she saw through Li's intentions at a glance. After such a long time, why did she choose to go over at this time? At this critical juncture, what else could it be but for the Fourth Prince's wedding? She wanted to go today to see what Li's intentions were.
Huang Zhi accompanied Geng Yuehua all the way there. Huang Zhi still looked puzzled on the way. It was really strange that he had accepted the invitation of the concubine today after making such a big fuss some time ago.
"Princess, what are you thinking? You actually agreed to it. I think you'd better be careful with the concubine." Geng Yuehua nodded. Of course she knew it. In the past, she thought Li was a non-competitive person because of her timid appearance. But ever since she discovered the aphrodisiac, she could no longer underestimate this woman. It turned out that she was pretending before, and now her true colors were revealed.
Li was enthusiastic today. She was standing in the courtyard holding the little prince before Geng Yuehua arrived. The child in her arms was very eye-catching to Geng, like a trophy that she had brought out to show off. But Geng did not show any extra expression. She walked up and touched the little prince's face: "Sister, this child is really cute. I really hope that the little prince can grow up healthily." She just smiled at Li when she said this. This smile made Li shrink her hand holding the child and quickly ordered the nurse to take the child away.
Li must have understood what Geng Yuehua said, otherwise she would not have retreated. Several princes in the Fourth Prince's Mansion have died young, one after another. It is hard to say what the reason is. Li raised this little prince in the palm of her hand, and she was afraid that something would go wrong.
"It's rare for you to get together with your sister, so don't just stand outside, come in and sit down." Li Shuran asked the maid to bring up the tea and snacks. Geng Shi didn't eat anything first because she was afraid that there would be something that shouldn't be in it. It was only after Li Shuran ate that she let down her guard.
Geng had no patience and went straight to the point: "I guess Sister Li didn't ask me to come here for tea today. If you have something to say, just say it directly." After hearing this, Li couldn't help but cover her face with her hands and laughed: "Sister Geng is really smart. I asked you to come here today because I want to discuss something important with you." Li didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.
"Sister, you know that having new people enter the mansion is disadvantageous to both you and me." As Geng Yuehua expected, this was exactly what she said. From the tone of her voice, it was clear that Li had lost her patience. It seemed that this young prince really gave her the confidence to speak.
"Sister, why do you have to worry? You are the mother of the little prince. It is said that a mother is honored by her son. Now you have the capital, so what is there to be afraid of?" After hearing this, Li was not very happy. Instead, the question of how the child came about came to her mind again. She hoped that this matter would always be a secret and no one would know about it.
"Sister, do you know that the girl is the legitimate daughter of the Niuhulu family?" No one in the Fourth Prince's mansion can compare to her in terms of identity. Even the legitimate wife Ulanara cannot compare to her family background. The legitimate daughter of a powerful official means that the Niuhulu family has stabilized its position in the court, and now it has helped the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince already liked Deyin and they met many times before they were engaged. How could they have a chance now that she has entered the mansion?
Geng knew all this, she was not stupid, unlike Li Shuran who wanted to compete with Deyin. After hearing what she said, Geng felt that Li was a bit unsure of what to do. Although she had never met Deyin, she could see that Li Shuran was definitely not her opponent. Since she was here today, she couldn't refuse her, so she agreed to join forces with her. For Geng, she would not suffer any loss and might even get some benefits from it.
As expected, when faced with a common threat, no matter how strained the relationship was, they could break the boundaries and get on the same boat.
"Princess, are you planning to join forces with the concubine?" Huang Zhi asked Geng Yuehua from the side. He didn't expect that these two people would be on the same side.
Geng turned his head slowly and said: "Yes and not entirely."
