A woman cannot be too stupid, but being too smart is also not pleasing.

After Yixiu returned from Kangxi's place, she first sent Gan Ziyun to play with Honghui for a while, while she waited for the Fourth Prince in the tent.

The Fourth Prince lifted the curtain and came in. Yixiu smiled and stood up, bowing respectfully, saying, "I pay my respects to His Majesty! May His Majesty be blessed with good health!"

The Fourth Prince did not help Yixiu up personally as usual, but nodded and gave Su Peisheng a wink, asking him to take all the servants in the tent out.

He looked at Yixiu's gentle and kind face, thought for a moment, and instead of scolding her, he said softly, "Yier, I know you're not a jealous person! Wu Rihan is a weak girl, and she won't compete with you for anything. Why bother with her?"

Yixiu didn't say anything big, but she was still weak, maybe she was pretending to be weak!

After two lifetimes, the Fourth Prince has really fallen for this trick. Rouze in his previous life, Zhen Huan in the previous life, and Wurihan in this life, all pretended to be weak and aggrieved, and this trick has taken hold of him.

However, I can also pretend.

Yixiu first pretended to be shocked, and then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Could it be that in the prince's heart, I am such a petty person? I know that sister Wu Rihan was wronged today, but I am also thinking about the prince! As long as the prince is well, even if I am disliked by the prince and become a villain, I am willing to do it!"

In this life, the Fourth Prince trusted Yixiu quite a bit. When he saw Yixiu like this, he felt a little distressed.

The Fourth Prince stepped forward and took Yixiu's hand, helping her to his side, and comforted her: "This prince has no intention of blaming you, I just want to ask what happened today!"

Yixiu wiped her face with her hand and said softly, "Sister Wu Rihan came to pay her respects to me today. According to our ancestors' old custom, when a concubine pays her respects to the principal wife, the principal wife usually rewards the concubine with something. But Sister Wu Rihan insisted on giving me something. Although Sister Wu Rihan means well, if this matter gets out, others will probably think that our palace is unruly!"

Seeing that the Fourth Prince's expression had softened slightly, Yixiu pressed the issue, saying, "I know that Your Highness has great ambitions, so I naturally cannot let the trivialities of this palace hold him back. These matters can be big or small. On the small side, it's just that the concubine is young and grew up on the grasslands, so she doesn't understand the rules of the capital. On the big side, that's our palace..."

Yixiu hesitated to speak at the right time. The Fourth Prince thought about the interests involved. Even if Wujihan had suffered some grievances, compared with his own grand ambitions, what did it matter?

At this point, the Fourth Prince smiled and patted Yixiu's hand, saying with satisfaction, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for? Yi'er, you did a great job on this matter!"

Yixiu suppressed the irritation welling up in her heart and smiled gently, "I am your wife, and I shall serve you wholeheartedly. However, this matter has really wronged Sister Wu Rihan, so I went to ask the Emperor to find a nanny to raise her. Although learning the rules is a bit difficult, Your Highness, think about this noble lady from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. Who can not learn the rules?"

Yes, let alone Wujihan, a mere concubine, even the empress dowager and the queen in the palace, who doesn’t have to abide by the rules?

Besides, it is for her own good to let her learn some rules. If she doesn't know anything, she will be the one who suffers when she arrives in the capital.

The Fourth Prince expressed his understanding and agreed, "You've thought things through very comprehensively! However, since Wu Rihan is new here, you should be more lenient with her. Gan is known for her explosive temper, and Wu Rihan is weak and doesn't dare to speak up when she's wronged. I can't reprimand Gan for such a trivial matter. You have a good relationship with Gan, so go and try to persuade her! Women should be more submissive. While she should be a bit dignified as a housekeeper, she shouldn't be too overly so."

Gentle, women should be more gentle!

But why do women have to be so submissive? Why do women have to suppress all their emotions in their hearts, even if they have been wronged, they still have to pretend to be submissive.

Gan Ziyun only disliked the Fourth Prince because of her straightforward character and unwillingness to bow her head, but what did she do wrong?

Gan Ziyun is a straightforward person and is a good housekeeper. She treats Honghui better than her biological mother. In Yixiu's opinion, Gan Ziyun is good in every way and has done nothing wrong.

Yixiu didn't want Gan Ziyun to be like herself, pretending to be weak on the surface even though she had a thousand things in her heart.

For the first time, Yixiu refuted the Fourth Prince face to face. "Your Highness, Concubine Jin is just like that. She can't keep things to herself and will say whatever comes to her mind, but she definitely doesn't harbor any ill intentions. If Wu Rihan has any conflicts with her, he can just speak them out in person. Concubine Jin is not unreasonable. Moreover, although Concubine Jin is strict, she manages the palace in an orderly manner. This is also a hard job."

The Fourth Prince wanted to retort, but seeing the determination in Yixiu's eyes, he could only say, "Look at you! I just said a few words casually, and you're so anxious! The relationship between you two is closer than that of sisters! I look into Gan's heart with cold eyes. I'm afraid that now you are the only one left, and even me is gone!"

There's a hint of bitterness in these words!

Yixiu had no choice but to change the subject and use other things to appease the Fourth Prince.

…………

Su Peisheng came to Gan Ziyun's tent with the rewards from the Fourth Prince. He presented the gifts to Gan Ziyun with a smile on his face.

"Concubine, the prince understands the hard work of the concubine's housekeeper, and these are all rewards from the prince to you!"

Gan Ziyun glanced at him indifferently and asked Tao Ye to stuff a purse into Su Peisheng's pocket.

"You've made such a long trip, eunuch. This money is just a treat for you to have a cup of tea to moisten your throat!"

Su Peisheng accepted it with a smile, "Oh, Concubine is so polite! Hey, isn't this Young Master Honghui? Why is he here?"

When mentioning Honghui, Gan Ziyun's eyes were filled with tenderness and kindness that could not be concealed.

"Sister, I'm afraid you have something to do, so you've left Honghui in my care! Is there anything else, Grandpa? If not, I still need to coax Honghui to sleep! I went to visit the Emperor earlier, and he must be a little tired now!"

Su Peisheng politely bowed and took his leave. "In that case, I will not disturb the young prince's rest. I will take my leave!"

Gan Ziyun is just a bit straightforward in character, but he is not worldly-wise.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. I'm really busy here, so I won't keep you here. Taoye, go and see eunuch Su off!"

Su Peisheng said "How dare I" as he followed Tao Ye out of Gan Ziyun's tent.
