The Fourth Prince was dragged by Su Peisheng to the main courtyard with a dejected look on his face. As expected, he saw Wang Ruofu, as if nothing had happened, holding the infant Honghui and teasing him.

Even more depressed.

Why is he the only one who is angry and upset and can't sleep? Why? !

Wang Ruofu was stunned for a moment when she saw him coming, then she said naturally as if it was a daily routine: "The prince is here, have you had dinner yet?"

Without waiting for his answer, she continued to ramble on: "Today, Honghui cried so hard for some reason. No matter how Nanny and Randong tried to comfort him, it was useless. I had to hold him. This little guy cried so loudly."

Now it was the Fourth Prince's turn to be stunned for a moment, then he smiled and stepped forward to try to take Honghui from Wang Ruofu's arms, "Really? Let me see what's going on with this little monkey..."

"Wow--"

The little baby Honghui didn't give Wang Ruofu any face at all. He started crying as soon as he left Wang Ruofu's arms. Wang Ruofu glared at him and said, "I shouldn't have believed you. How can a man who just became a father know how to hold a child comfortably?"

Honghui had his eyes closed, but he stopped crying as soon as he returned to Wang Ruofu's arms, and behaved himself and looked very peaceful.

The fourth prince touched his nose, not quite convinced. He did not realize that Wang Ruofu's actions and words were wrong. Instead, he said, "I just became a father, and you are also a mother for the first time. How come you are so skilled?"

"Because I'm smart!" Wang Ruofu said it confidently and proudly without any shame.

Fourth Prince, before the Rouze incident, you did pretend to be very smart, but now... you only look smart.

"Hahahahahaha." The Fourth Prince thought so in his heart and couldn't help laughing out loud, which earned him a cold look from Wang Ruofu.

Seeing Wang Ruofu getting closer, the Fourth Prince quickly put his hands in front of him to block. In fact, it was completely unnecessary. Wang Ruofu was holding the child and had no hands free to hit him.

With Nanny Fang's advice, Wang Ruofu knew that Kangxi would come to the wedding banquet and full moon banquet in two months. If Kangxi saw that the Fourth Prince was injured again, she would not escape punishment, so she restrained herself during this period.

Seeing the Fourth Prince's panicked and messy steps to evade, Wang Ruofu chuckled wantonly. Seeing the Fourth Prince looking at her in surprise, she stopped laughing and pretended to be displeased, "It's your fault!"

She ignored him and walked around the room slowly, holding Honghui in her arms, patting the child's back and coaxing him to sleep. The Fourth Prince was watching quietly beside her.

Late at night, Honghui finally fell asleep and did not respond when he left Wang Ruofu's arms. Wang Ruofu then felt relieved and handed him to the wet nurse to rest.

"This child is probably here to collect a debt. My arms are so sore from holding her that I can't even lift them." Wang Ruofu complained while frowning and rubbing her arms, but if you look closely, you will find that she is enjoying it.

The Fourth Prince casually replied, "Let the wet nurse take care of her in the future. If this one doesn't work, we can replace her. Can a Prince's Mansion worry about not being able to find a wet nurse?"

"what!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Ruofu, who was just complaining, was so angry that she pinched the Fourth Prince fiercely, her eyes widened, "So Honghui is not your son, and you just threw him aside when he was born."

"Hiss... it's bruised." The Fourth Prince was inconsolable. He pulled up his sleeve to show Wang Ruofu the fresh bruise on his arm, and said in a reproachful tone, "What are you doing?"

Wang Ruofu said angrily: "You don't love Hui'er!"

The Fourth Prince was bewildered: "How could I not love Hui'er?" What does this have to do with anything?

Wang Ruofu didn't want to listen, so she got on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and turned over. She didn't even look at the Fourth Prince, but just said, "Hui'er is my firstborn son, and no one should look down on him!"

baffling.

These four words came to the Fourth Prince's mind. He frowned in annoyance, wondering why Wang Ruofu suddenly got angry again. Everything was so peaceful just now.

For the first time ever, the Fourth Prince held back his unhappiness and stepped forward to coax him, "Hui'er is my eldest son and my only child now. How could I not love him?"

Wang Ruofu yawned and turned around, still with her eyes closed, and like a mother, she skillfully pulled the corner of the quilt for the Fourth Prince in the dark, and said in a gentle tone: "Go to sleep, you still have to go to court tomorrow morning."

.........

Different from the main courtyard which is both noisy and harmonious, the atmosphere in Hengqingyuan is quiet and depressing.

tick-

Another tear fell on the rice paper, dissolving the ink, and the rice paper that had just been written with a few words was wasted again.

Rouze gently crumpled the paper into a ball and wiped his tears with a handkerchief. When he reached out to get some paper, he found that there was no paper. He sighed softly: "Madam Zhu, please bring me some more paper."

"My dear Miss, you can't keep crying like this." Nanny Zhu patted Rouze's shoulder with concern, "I see that you are tired today, why don't you take a rest first? There is no rush to copy the books."

She was Jueluo's confidant and Rouze's wet nurse. She understood Rouze's character, so even after she entered the Prince's Mansion, she always called Rouze "Miss" instead of "Nara Gege".

"Mammy, please get some more paper. I want to copy it." The voice, as soft as an oriole or lark, was tinged with sadness and sorrow as she spoke the stubborn words softly.

Nanny Zhu had no choice but to go get it, but Huichun, who was beside Wang Ruofu, told her that it was out of stock.

Huichun was sitting on a bench in the outer courtyard of Hengqingyuan. She didn't stand up when she saw Nanny Zhu coming. She just said, "Each courtyard in the mansion has a set amount of expenses. The papers that Nara copied the female virtues and female precepts have all been taken away."

"It's just a few pieces of paper. Does the Prince's Mansion care about these things?" Nanny Zhu was used to bullying around Gioro. When she saw Huichun, a half-grown girl, she took advantage of her age and acted bossy.

"Go and get the paper quickly and tell them that our princess needs it."

Huichun is not as experienced as Randong, nor as steady as Jianqiu, but her personality is most similar to Wang Ruofu, so she immediately quoted Wang Ruofu's words and cursed her.

"Who do you think you are? Except for Lord Beile and his wife, everyone else is just a servant in the mansion. You are a servant who hasn't even served tea or slept with anyone yet, and you think you can break the rules?"

Seeing that Nanny Zhu's face was getting uglier, Huichun became more and more excited. She stepped on the bench with one foot, leaned back slightly, and said arrogantly: "Humph, Fu Jin said that any part that exceeds the monthly quota needs to be paid by ourselves."

Madam Zhu pointed at Huichun, and was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly: "You! You little rascal, you know who our princess is? Aren't you afraid that I will complain to the prince and drive you out of the house with sticks?"

"Oh, what a great prestige." Huichun smiled and pretended to be scared, "The prince is in the main courtyard now, if you want to complain, just go and see who will be beaten out with sticks!"
