I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

Zhao Fangyu had been ill for less than half a month before the court physician told him that he could walk freely, but he still had to drink conditioning medicine every day.

"Don't worry if Fourth Miss still can't remember things. It's not necessarily because she hit her head. People are small and their brains are small. It's common to not remember things. It's not necessarily because of illness. Maybe she was just too scared for a moment, so she forgot."

The court physician finished his last pulse diagnosis and said to Zhao Fangyu.

The court physician had diagnosed that it was a head hit, but he did not expect that Zhao Fangyu would secretly tell him afterwards that she could not remember some things from her childhood.

But judging from her pulse, there is nothing serious. The fourth girl is only six years old, so it doesn't matter even if she can't remember the past.

But the fourth lady begged him not to tell others, fearing that others would laugh at her because of this. The court doctor softened his heart and thought of the fourth lady's daily situation, so he did not report to the first lady. He just told her privately to massage the acupuncture points to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, Zhao Fangyu moved into Qingpingyuan.

Mother Cui led Zhao Fangyu into Qingping Courtyard. The eldest lady was sitting in the main room, holding the seventh girl Zhao Fangmo and playing with a rattle.

Different from the desolate Caiyue Courtyard, Qingping Courtyard is truly elegant and noble.

In modern terms, it is simply a standard example of low-key luxury and connotation.

Zhao Fangyu was a small person with small steps. Aunt Qian dressed her in an especially cute way today. Everyone who saw her wanted to tease her. Even Mother Cui, who could not help frowning when she looked at Zhao Fangyu, could not help but hug Zhao Fangyu when she saw her.

Zhao Fangyu always smiled politely to everyone who came to tease him, and even tried very hard to win the favor of Cui's mother.

"Mother is fine. I'm glad to meet you."

Before the eldest lady could speak, Zhao Fangyu bowed first and greeted her in a childish voice.

Zhao Fangyu had been seriously ill and had to wear thick clothes until now, so he looked particularly round and plump.

The eldest lady also remembered to send flowers from Qingping Courtyard from time to time, and smiled and called Zhao Fangyu to sit over.

"Don't be so reckless when you go to school. Learn more from your elder sister. If you go to pick flowers again, the people in the flower house will kowtow to you."

Zhao Fangyu pursed his lips and smiled, looking embarrassed.

The eldest lady couldn't help but pinch Zhao Fangyu's face, which was soft and tenderer than tofu.

"Did your mother apply any ointment on you? How come you are the only one with such tender skin among all the sisters in the family?"

The eldest lady was the mistress of the backyard. Which child in the mansion had she not seen? But none of them was as soft and tender as Zhao Fangyu.

Zhao Fangyu thought for a moment and said, "I have never used any other creams. Like my aunt, I use the white jade cream given by the mansion."

The eldest lady sighed, then rubbed Zhao Fangmo in her arms and said, "This is your seventh sister. I have never seen her before, so I don't think you can recognize her."

Zhao Fangyu nodded honestly: "My sister has grown up quickly. She is much bigger and whiter than last time."

Mother Cui brought tea and snacks, and laughed when she heard this, saying, "At that time, the seventh girl had just had her third day bath, and now it's almost her hundredth day, so it's normal for her to have changed a lot."

"The food at Qingping Court is light, except for the eldest girl who likes sweet and spicy food. The fourth girl, please try it."

"These Longjing white jade balls and sesame crisp candies are the eldest girl's favorite."

The translucent white porcelain bowl is no bigger than a palm. The soup is made of milk and the skin is made of glutinous rice. The filling is made from Longjing tea leaves that are dried and ground into fine powder, sifted several times, and then mixed with lard.

There are also a few osmanthus flowers placed in the middle, the fragrance is so sweet that it makes people salivate.

The sesame crisp candy looks like dragon whiskers, silky and melts in your mouth, with just the right sweetness.

Just from two dishes, you can clearly see the difference between Caiyueyuan and Qingpingyuan.

Caiyueyuan never spent money on additional dishes. Its daily meals were all supplied by the mansion. They were either osmanthus cakes or pea yellow cakes, or at worst mung bean cakes or cloud cakes, which were not as exquisite as those in Qingpingyuan.

While they were eating, a series of "Hello, young lady" came from the door, and then Zhao Fangjin came in from behind the curtain in brocade clothes.

Although he was at home, meeting the master was like meeting a guest. Zhao Fangjin's outfit looked ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was found to be of special note.

Just the two pieces of jewelry used as a base make one look wealthy.

The leaves were made of gold thread, with rubies as petals and sapphires as stamens. It was unknown how much it would cost to make one flower, but Zhao Fangjin's one was like a headband, with nine flowers in a string, separated by white jade beads the size of a date pit. There were also two finger-sized pearls at the back.

She walked in a swaying gait, which was very beautiful. She had the elegance of a legitimate daughter and the prettiness of a teenage girl.

Zhao Fangjin gave Zhao Fangyu some shock as a legitimate daughter.

Zhao Fangyu was not envious. He just sat aside and looked at the new shoes on his feet silently.

The shoes were made by Aunt Qian herself, without any other hands doing anything. Zhao Fangyu had accumulated a box of these beautiful shoes since she was a child.

The fabric is ordinary, but the embroidery is outstanding. It is not expensive, but it is filled with Aunt Qian's deep love for her daughter.

Just like Aunt Qian’s love, it can only be detected in the obscure places.

Mother Cui brought another bowl of Longjing meatballs and sesame candy, the same as Zhao Fangyu's, but the bowls and plates were different.

The gift given to Zhao Fangjin was a set of tea cups with a painting of three raccoons playing at play.

These three cats were raised by Zhao Fangjin himself.

"Sister Yan Zhen sent a message last night saying that she wanted to eat the Baiyun Glutinous Rice Rolls and Qiao Xiangsu made by Mother Cui."

Upon hearing this, the eldest lady smiled and looked at Zhao Fangyu who was sitting aside.

"The fourth girl probably doesn't see your sister Yan Zhen very often. Tomorrow, when Madam Cui goes to deliver some snacks, you can pick some pretty flowers in the garden and send them to your sister Yan Zhen to see."

Before Zhao Fangyu nodded, Zhao Fangjin frowned and glanced at the lady in reproach.

Perhaps it was because he was in front of his mother that he was pretending to dislike Zhao Fangyu.

Zhao Fangyu looked up at the eldest lady and Zhao Fangjin. The mother and daughter seemed to be having a silent conversation. There was a constant exchange of glances between them, and in the end, Zhao Fangjin was defeated.

"Sister Yan Zhen likes the golden jade peach the most. Pick more."

Zhao Fangyu lowered his head and looked at the table. Even Zhao Fangmo stopped teasing him and quietly explored the patterns carved on the table in front of him, looking extremely interested.

The eldest lady's teachings to Zhao Fangjin were not contrary to others. She talked about the harmony of the family and the mutual support in the future.

Zhao Fangyu was not a real child. He knew what the eldest lady wanted to express as soon as he heard it.

Although these words were meant for Zhao Fangjin, they were also meant to serve as a reminder to Zhao Fangyu.

Only the eldest lady's biological daughter was worthy of her explaining all those great principles in detail. She, Zhao Fangyu, was just a concubine's daughter raised in Qingping Courtyard, and her upbringing was borrowed from that of a legitimate daughter. She was not worth the eldest lady's trouble at all.

"Go with Mama Cui to deliver the snacks tomorrow, and take the fourth girl with you."
