The banquet was still in full swing, with people coming and going, and it was bustling and lively.

In Hengqing Garden, Rouze's face was pale, and she lay sickly on the bed, coughing and crying, mumbling incoherently: "Silang... cough cough, why is Silang not here, Si..."

Wang Ruofu was in high spirits and dressed up newly. She held the infant Honghui in her arms and chatted with the clan wives, accepting everyone's praise and envy.

On one side they were miserable, and on the other side they were in high spirits, which formed a sharp contrast just like in their previous life. The difference was that the situation of the two daughters of the Ulanara family was reversed.

"Dear sisters-in-law and brothers and sisters, please enjoy the food. If there is anything that does not suit your taste, please tell me and I will ask them to change it." Wang Ruofu smiled with joy and enthusiasm, and did not follow the rule of not showing teeth when smiling.

Among the dignified but rigid wives of the clan members, she seems unique, lively and carefree, which makes people feel happy when they see her.

The sisters-in-law, who had seen enough of the jokes of the second daughter of the Ulanara family and the fourth prince from beginning to end, could not help but be stunned and dazed, and at the same time, a question popped up -

How could she still smile so happily when her husband insisted on marrying her elder sister during her pregnancy, and the whole capital knew about it?

Some people showed admiration, thinking that this was the mind and magnanimity of the prince's wife; some people felt jealous and could not help but ask Wang Ruofu for advice.

If Wang Ruofu could hear their inner voices, she would tell them generously: When in doubt, just take action. Beat them up and let off some steam, and then talk about it. At worst, both sides will be ruined. If she doesn't have a good life, then no one will have a good life.

Unfortunately, she couldn't hear and didn't understand the vague hints.

In short, everyone soon started chatting enthusiastically with Wang Ruofu, and the original expectations of exclusion and contempt were thrown out of the window.

The thin and swollen Daifu looked eagerly at Honghui in Wang Ruofu's arms, sighed at an inappropriate time, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "This child is really good-looking."

The others all agreed not to ask any more questions, only Wang Ruofu said stupidly: "Sister-in-law, if you are not satisfied with anything, I will order the servants to change it immediately."

She asked sincerely, and seeing that everyone's breathing held and no one answered, they looked around at everyone in confusion, thinking: Could it be that the fourth child offended their men and came to my son's full moon party to bring bad luck?

There was silence for a few moments, everyone looked at each other, and finally the Eighth Lady, who was also known as a fierce wife, sighed and said, "It's not that you didn't take good care of me. I'm just envious of you having a son and having peace at home."

Wang Ruofu couldn't help but glance at the Eighth Lady. She said, "You live next door and yet you say things like my family is so peaceful. I'm afraid you are making some sarcastic remark about my family."

"Yes, sister-in-law, I really envy you." The first wife felt uncomfortable, but she still pretended not to care. "I have already given birth to three daughters, but my master especially wants a legitimate son."

"Oh, I see." Wang Ruofu breathed a sigh of relief, and flattered and comforted her enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law was able to give birth to three children in a row, which shows how loving she is to her brother. How could they not have a son? I should be envious of my sister-in-law."

After she finished speaking, Wang Ruofu was still laughing happily, and the others were looking at her in surprise or astonishment, as if they had not expected her to say such a thing.

Is the focus on the relationship between husband and wife?

The point is that the eldest prince ignored his wife's health and tried desperately to give birth to a legitimate son, but the first wife couldn't give birth to three children. It's conceivable how dissatisfied the eldest prince was. He can still praise the couple's good relationship. Are you sure it's not sarcastic?

The atmosphere was even more awkward than before. Wang Ruofu finally realized that what she said might be wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The smile froze on his face for a moment, then he quickly smiled shamelessly, awkward but polite.

"..."

Except for Wang Ruofu herself, everyone else present was a shrewd person. How could they not see that this Fourth Lady who had turned the tide against the odds was not only a scheming person, but also a straightforward and stupid person.

Tsk, it's really unpleasant that such a stupid person is the best off among them.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

When Li Dequan's loud voice was heard, everyone rushed to the door and knelt down to greet him. Wang Ruofu and the Fourth Prince, as the protagonists, walked at the front.

The couple looked at each other and smiled sincerely in rare tacit understanding: "Your Highness, I, your son and daughter-in-law, pay my respects to Your Highness. May Your Highness be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Everyone, get up." Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, and even his voice was cheerful.

This was due to the strictness of Wang Ruofu, the housekeeper, who was merciless in handling the matter and not afraid of offending villains, which made the servants dare not disobey in secret. They gritted their teeth and did not leak out what happened in Hengqingyuan yesterday.

Nanny Fang considered that how she would live the rest of her life depended on Wang Ruofu, and Wang Ruofu's life was ultimately tied to the Fourth Prince.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. This saying never lies. Wang Ruofu could be stupid enough not to care, but she had worked so hard to get to her current position that she couldn't help but care.

So when the message was passed on to Kangxi, it was embellished subtly, saying only that Rouze was ill, but the Fourth Prince was still resting in the main courtyard. The key information that Wang Ruofu got angry and that the Fourth Prince had visited Rouze was omitted.

Therefore, Kangxi looked at the Fourth Prince and Wang Ruofu with a kinder look, and praised them: "Not bad, you have established a family and a career. The Fourth Prince has a legitimate wife and an eldest son. He has indeed made a lot of progress."

"The same is true for the Fourth Lady. I heard from Nanny Fang that you have already studied and copied the Women's Virtues and Precepts and the Four Books and Five Classics. Now you are learning Tang and Song poems. This is very good. It is a way to cultivate your character. Keep studying."

Wang Ruofu kept on pretending to smile, and at this moment, she gave the Fourth Prince face by not speaking first.

The Fourth Prince couldn't hold back his tears and choked up, "Son, thank you so much for your praise, Father."

Ever since the incident with Rouze broke out, the emperor's attitude towards him has become even colder than before. When he returned to the mansion, he had to worry about Wang Ruofu getting upset and causing him trouble again, so he could only endure and coax her. This life was really miserable.

Now that he has suddenly returned to his previous treatment, how can he not cry for joy!

"Tsk, you're such a grown-up and still crying. You're really embarrassing me." Although Kangxi's tone was disgusted, anyone could see that he was not unhappy or dissatisfied, and there was a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.

At a time like this, how could the Eighth Prince come out to show off and steal the limelight, or step on the Fourth Prince? He said, "The Fourth Brother and his wife are now in harmony, and the family is harmonious, all thanks to the vision and training of the Emperor's father."

"Yes." Kangxi nodded with a smile, pointed at the Eighth Prince, looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "Old Eighth, what you said is true. If it weren't for my insight, you wouldn't have the peaceful life you have today."

The Fourth Prince wanted to cry again after hearing this. An Sheng, it was so peaceful!
