I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

At this time, Jia Yuanchun did not know that the Fourth Lady, who was smiling at her, had already secretly labeled her as "restless".

At this moment, she was bickering with Nian Youran with great interest.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Nian Youran looks delicate and weak and speaks in a soft voice.

But when he encountered the aggressive Jia Yuanchun, he was able to overcome the strong with softness and handle the situation with ease, without giving the other party too many opportunities to take advantage.

Witnessing all this, the Fourth Lady couldn't help but nod secretly to Nian Youran's outstanding performance.

After all, a concubine like Nian Youran, who has both a strong family background and a smart mind, is what the prince really needs.

As for this Jia Yuanchun...

The Fourth Lady couldn't help but frown and sighed inwardly: This Jia Yuanchun is really too stupid and reckless, and lacks some scheming and wisdom.

But on second thought, perhaps this heartless, straightforward and simple character can be considered a different kind of advantage?

Thinking of this, the Fourth Lady suddenly fell into deep thought...

Although Nian Youran appears delicate and fragile, she is actually smart, talented and comes from a prominent family.

If she married into the palace and gave birth to a child for the Fourth Master, her status would certainly rise.

However, Lady Si was not worried about the newcomer entering the mansion, because she knew very well that the Fourth Master attached great importance to rules and etiquette in his conduct and would definitely give his wife enough respect and dignity.

But this respect is only superficial and there is no sincerity at all.

The Fourth Master only respects the position of the Fourth Lady.

After figuring it out, the Fourth Lady's heart, which had been silent for a long time like a dead tree, still couldn't help but feel a stabbing pain.

At this moment, the Fourth Lady was staring intently at Nian Youran's face in front of her, secretly sighing in her heart: Such a pure, elegant and moving appearance will indeed please the prince!

She imagined that after Nian Youran entered the palace, she would quickly gain favor and surpass the old and ugly Concubine Li to become the prince's new favorite.

Although the Fourth Lady was fully expecting Prince Yong to make further progress, she could endure any grievances for the sake of the stability of her backyard.

But she was a woman after all, and seeing her husband giving his love to other people, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

However, this sourness did not make her lose her mind, and she would not harm the woman with a background in the backyard to hinder the Fourth Master.

But the pain, like being bitten by ants, is real.

After all, she is not a person without feelings, she also has her own delicate thoughts and emotions.

At this moment, the Fourth Lady was staring at Jia Yuanchun, who was competing with her age like a fighting cock, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

It seems that having such a restless and unwise pioneer and pawn may not be a bad thing.

Two women of equal family background were allowed to marry into the palace together, one of them was named concubine and the other was named princess.

As a result, a fierce fight is bound to break out between the two.

By then, she can mediate and coordinate the relationship between the two parties to better highlight her own value.

The Fourth Lady has no children so far, and she can only maintain her position by relying on her virtuous, generous and magnanimous image, as well as her excellent ability to manage the backyard.

Thinking about this, she felt more and more that having Jia Yuanchun enter the palace might be a very appropriate arrangement.

Jia Yuanchun saw the Fourth Lady's slightly thoughtful look out of the corner of her eye.

She felt relieved.

She thought that today's brainless performance was not in vain.

Part of Jia Yuanchun's impulsive and irritable behavior today was due to her inner feelings. As soon as she saw Nian Youran's beautiful face, Jia Yuanchun couldn't control her temper.

On the other hand, she also wanted to let the Fourth Lady see that she was a brainless idiot who was easier to control.

Jia Yuanchun has been in the palace for such a long time, and was raised by her grandmother Jia since she was a child. She also has a vicious mother, so it is impossible for her to be brainless.

No matter how stupid Jia Yuanchun was, she knew she had to behave properly in front of the Fourth Lady.

But with Nian Youran as an example, there was nothing she could do even if she tried to behave dignified and generously.

To outsiders, she is just repeating what others have said, which is even more ridiculous.

Jia Yuanchun also understood that being a concubine did not require gentleness and generosity, but only required a good-looking and simple-minded lady.

I wonder if Jia Yuanchun’s hard work today will impress the Fourth Lady, but it is obvious that the Fourth Lady has already put her on the list of candidates.

Jia Yuanchun was ambitious and had already planned how to quickly gain a foothold after entering the palace.

She knew very well that if she wanted to survive and improve her status in this mansion, she had to find a strong backer.

So, she decided to take the initiative to join the Fourth Lady and form an alliance with her to become a member of the same camp.

The Fourth Lady was also quite pitiful. Since the unfortunate death of her beloved son Honghui, she had tried every possible method but had never been able to get pregnant again.

Now that she is getting older, considering her current age, it may be difficult for her to have a child again.

Faced with such a situation, Jia Yuanchun thought to herself: Since the Fourth Lady can no longer give birth to a legitimate son, why not let me take her place?

If she could successfully give birth to a legitimate son, he would have the hope of inheriting the title of Prince Yong in the future.

If Prince Yong continues to work hard, it is not impossible for him to rise to a higher position!

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but feel excited, as if she saw a bright future beckoning to her.

She began to imagine the glorious scene in the future when she would be in a high position, admired and worshipped by everyone, and her heart became more and more happy.

This feeling intoxicated her and she couldn't help herself.

At this moment, Jia Yuanchun was already immersed in the desire for power and glory, and was determined to realize her ambitions at all costs.

Nian Youran looked down on Jia Yuanchun, thinking that this opponent was too weak. How could such a person be favored by the prince?

Even if she has the support of Rongguo Mansion, it doesn’t matter. Rongguo Mansion has only been more prosperous recently.

But after all, it has been in decline for so many years and has long lost its foundation.

Unlike her father who holds real power and has great influence, and her two brothers who are also outstanding people, why should she be afraid of a little Jia Yuanchun?

Nian Youran is young after all, and she tries to hide her bad mood, but a hint of arrogance inadvertently reveals between her eyes and eyebrows.

In fact, she looked down on Jia Yuanchun from the bottom of her heart.

She fought openly and secretly with Jia Yuanchun just to show the Fourth Lady how well she knew how to consider the overall situation.

The two girls each had their own ulterior motives, while the other women in Prince Yong's mansion sat there calmly watching the show, almost wishing they could take out a handful of melon seeds and start eating them.

Concubine Li sat calmly and composedly beside them, as motionless as a sculpture.

She has a son and a daughter, so her status in the mansion is relatively high and she is quite favored by the Fourth Master.

Although her face is getting older now, compared with those dull, boring and unromantic women in the mansion, the relationship between her and the Fourth Master is still quite deep.

She didn't care whether there would be new members in the mansion. No matter what, she would always be a concubine.

She used to be keen on jealousy and intrigue, but those cruel struggles not only caused her to lose her child, but also made her physically and mentally exhausted.

Now she only hopes to accompany her son to grow up safely. As for other things, they are insignificant to her.

Even if she was vying for the Fourth Master's favor, it was for her son. At her age, it didn't matter whether she had a man or not.

Concubine Li looked at Nian Youran and Jia Yuanchun shaking like black-eyed chickens. Concubine Li just found it funny. They were still young and full of vigor.

There is order in the chaos in the backyard, and swordplay in the front yard.

The banquet in the front yard had already begun, with men sitting at one table and a group of children sitting at another.

Hongxi and Hongli sat on Jia Cheng's left and right respectively, like left and right protectors.

Whenever Hongli picked up a piece of meat for Jia Cheng, Hongxi would pick up the same thing and put it on top of Hongli's.

Soon, the bowls in front of Jia Cheng were piled up into a small mountain. Looking at this pile of delicacies, he glared at the people on his left and right.

Somewhat speechless.

Jia Cheng said coldly: "You have piled my bowl so full, how can I eat? Besides, it's all cold, I won't eat it."

When he said this in anger, Hongli immediately panicked and quickly grabbed the furious Jia Cheng to comfort him.

"Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. What do you want to eat? I'll feed you."

Jia Cheng's eyes swept over the shrimp balls, and Hongli immediately understood what he meant. He picked up a shrimp ball with Jia Cheng's chopsticks and fed it to Jia Cheng's mouth.

Jia Cheng frowned slightly without opening his mouth. The shrimp ball was so big, how could he swallow it in one bite? Hongli was really an idiot.

Seeing Hongli's frustration, Hongxi smiled even more, "Hongli, you are still too young and don't know how to take care of others. This shrimp ball is so big that Cheng can't eat it. It would be bad if he choked.

You want to pick up the ball, forget it, you don't know how to take care of people, let me do it."

Hongxi snatched the chopsticks from Hongli's hand, and as the chopsticks loosened, the shrimp balls fell onto the table and then bounced onto the ground.

Hongli looked at the shrimp balls that fell on the ground angrily and glared at Hongxi.

Hongxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then picked up a shrimp ball, cut it into four pieces, and fed them to Jia Cheng one by one.

Jia Cheng did not refuse this time. Who could refuse the service of a gentle and handsome man?

Jia Cheng's well-behaved appearance made Hongli feel uneasy, but suddenly made Hongxi's heart calm.

[Alas, it turns out that these children are all the same. Maybe Jia Cheng’s previous coldness towards him was just a child’s temper, and now he is obediently submitting to him again.

It’s a bit boring.]

Hongxi's favorability towards Jia Cheng dropped rapidly, directly to single digits.

That number seems to be in jeopardy and can't be maintained.
