Naturally, Depin did not dare to make public what happened in Yonghe Palace. She ordered people to clean up the mess caused by Wang Ruofu and Li Jingyan before she dared to ask her trusted imperial physician for treatment. She only announced to the outside world that it was a cold and high fever.

She was mocked by her mortal enemy, Concubine Yi: "You just got promoted to the throne by relying on your grandson, and now you are causing trouble for your grandson's biological mother. Even God can't stand it. It shows that justice is clear and retribution is inevitable!"

These words were meant to be heard by Concubine De. Concubine Yi did not avoid people at all when she spoke. For a while, many palace maids and eunuchs who believed in Buddhism and Taoism deliberately avoided Yonghe Palace and Concubine De and others, for fear of being contaminated by unclean things.

After so many times, even the old people who had served Depin for many years and knew the truth complained privately, blaming Depin's "bad luck" for causing them to be laughed at and bullied in the palace.

After Depin knew about this, she was so angry that she vomited blood, and she put the blame on Wang Ruofu. Many years of practice were ruined in an instant, and she smashed the medicine and the porcelain bowl fiercely: "Yixiu, has she completely ignored me now?"

After saying this, he could not help but feel startled again, his expression was solemn, his breathing became steady, and he said anxiously: "Zhu Xi, what do you think of Yi Xiu's feelings for the Fourth Brother now? Is it still as good as before?"

This is the key point. Why has it been ignored by all of them before?

Yixiu did not have a good life in Ulanara Mansion. Jueluo either suppressed her or verbally humiliated and treated her harshly, and Fei Yanggu watched coldly. So even if Liu was controlled, Yixiu would not listen to the Ulanara family.

They were able to keep Yixiu stable in the past because of her infatuation with the Fourth Prince, but now she is not so sure.

Zhu Xi watched Depin remain silent for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to see her master deceiving herself, "I'm not sure either. If she cares, then Fu Jin has not taken Fourth Prince into consideration at all. If she doesn't care, then Fu Jin is indeed jealous."

In the increasingly worried eyes of Depin, she told the truth: "But Fu Jin is jealous now, but she is not afraid of being known by the Fourth Prince, nor is she worried that the Fourth Prince will be dissatisfied. I am just afraid that this affection is... no longer the same as before."

This kind of behavior is more like pleasing oneself, just seeking to live a happy life.

"What an injustice." Depin lamented, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. At this moment, she truly tasted the bitterness of regret. "Yixiu has been cold-hearted since she was a child. I'm afraid I won't be able to control her anymore in the future."

"My lady..."

Depin closed her eyes and shook her head, interrupting Zhuxi's words of comfort, "I have done my best to treat Rouze, and from now on, Yonghe Palace will not be involved in the affairs of the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

The implication was to bow to Wang Ruofu and completely draw a line between himself and Rouze.

If you can't afford to provoke her, you can always avoid her. Her old bones can no longer withstand Wang Ruofu's beating. If the fourth brother is still obsessed with Rouze, let him worry about it himself.

The reason why she was able to rise from a bondservant family to become one of the four concubines, apart from being lucky and having good fertility, was because she knew how to adapt to the times and was able to humble herself.

Four Baylor House.

Li Jingyan followed Wang Ruofu obediently all the way. He even took over Ran Dong's work, helped Wang Ruofu get out of the sedan chair, handed her the hand warmer, etc. He didn't dare to say a word. In this life, he truly lived up to his name.

Wang Ruofu nodded to her without saying anything, and said without consulting anyone, "The two side yards of Hengqingyuan are still vacant. You will live there from now on."

Before Li Jingyan could reply, Wang Ruofu suddenly thought of something and said, "The one living in the main courtyard of Hengqing Courtyard is Naragegege. She has been ill. You should be more careful and don't get sick from her."

It was exactly the way an ordinary official mistress treated her concubine.

Li Jingyan was not happy when she heard that she had to live with a sickly person, but she had just witnessed Wang Ruofu's methods and achievements in Yonghe Palace, so she dared not say no now.

She agreed reluctantly and left with the two maids who came with her dowry. Her untidy steps revealed that she might not be very smart.

"He seems to be a quiet guy." Wang Ruofu glanced at Li Jingyan's panicking back, feeling somewhat smug about occupying the high ground of intelligence. "Let's wait and see. If it works, I'll ask him to play mahjong with me in the future."

Everyone thought that Li Jingyan was cute and adorable and would definitely be favored, including Wang Ruofu. However, she didn't expect that the Fourth Prince went to the main courtyard as usual that night.

After that, she went to the main courtyard whenever she was free for half a month. She ignored the newly promoted concubine Gan Shuyi and the newcomer Li Jingyan, gave enough face to the main courtyard, and made Wang Ruofu very happy.

Fourth Prince: "Fujin, Princess Li was given to you by your father and mother after all. For the sake of filial piety, you can't just leave her alone."

"I don't know you yet." Wang Ruofu rolled her eyes, pulled up the corner of the quilt, turned over, and waited for a while until she heard no movement behind her, then said, "Go ahead, go ahead. A wife's husband is her God. If you have that heart, I can't stop you."

It was obvious that these words were spoken in anger. The Fourth Prince felt helpless but also happy about it. Compared with Gan Qi and the new Li Gege, whom he never took seriously, the wife, with whom he was getting more and more in tune, was naturally more important.

The fourth prince pulled out a strand of hair and tickled Wang Ruofu's exposed ear mischievously, saying in a low voice, "Oh, Fu Jin is jealous of a young girl who has not even reached the age of marriage."

Wang Ruofu waved her hand to slap away the fourth prince's mischievous hand. She couldn't help but smile from the shadows, and her voice became much softer: "You also know that Li Gege hasn't reached the age of marriage yet. I don't know what your mother thinks."

The Fourth Prince's eyes dimmed when he heard this, but then returned to normal. Even his wife could see that something was wrong, which shows how anxious Concubine De was this time.

From the moment Li Jingyan entered the mansion, a picture of Li Jingyan's background and character was placed on his desk. His family background was neither good nor bad, but his character was similar to that of the current concubine, but he did not have the concubine's tyrannical, domineering and unforgiving side.

This was found according to his recent preferences, plus Rouze's gorgeous dress... How could they, mother and son, come to this?

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Wang Ruofu asked.

The fourth prince stretched out his not-so-long legs and lay down as if nothing had happened: "Since Fu Jin is not happy, I will stay here and we will talk about it another day."

Wang Ruofu was delighted and finally turned around to look at the Fourth Prince, saying coquettishly, "You have a conscience."

"Honghui won't cry again tonight, right?"

"Probably not."

The next day, the Fourth Prince went to Hengqing Garden to meet Li Jingyan, who had been in the mansion for a long time. After just a few words, he found that he was really a simple-minded person.

When leaving, the Fourth Prince was in a good mood and asked Su Peisheng jokingly: "Who do you think is more, uh... more straightforward, Fu Jin or Li Gege?"

Just tell me who is dumber, Fu Jin or Li Gege.

Su Peisheng could only understand: "I think Li Gege is simple-minded. She believes whatever you say. Although Fu Jin is also straightforward, she can see things very clearly."

"You little dog slave, you are becoming more and more cunning." The Fourth Prince scolded with a smile.

After all, Li Jingyan was too young, and the Fourth Prince was upset about Depin's behavior, so she was not very favored and could not be compared with the main court at all.

This disappointed those who wanted to see a good show, but Li Jingyan had long been intimidated by Wang Ruofu's tactics, and remained unmoved even though Gan Shuyi and Qi Yuebin's hints and provocations made him dry-mouthed.

After sending away Gan Qi and the other two who had tried to persuade him in vain, Li Jingyan said to Cui Guo with a wise look on his face, "In this mansion, it doesn't matter whether you are favored or not, the key is whether you can save your life. They can't see through it."

They are not as good as me.

Cuiguo knew her own princess's personality and showed an admiring expression: "Princess is smart."
