The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 82: Respect for Age and Distinction

That night, Bu Erhe sent an invitation to the eldest wife and the three little princesses, making an appointment for them to go to the lotus pond in Houhu Lake together the next day.

She had heard that the first wife wanted to take her nieces there last time, but due to other things, it hadn't happened for a long time. Now the weather was getting hotter, and the flowers in the lotus pond were about to wither. If they didn't go, the little princesses would not be able to see the beautiful scenery of "the endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky, the red lotus flowers reflecting the sun" this year.

Besides, Bu Sa also needs to play and communicate with people of the same age. She should also experience the life of a noble lady in this era. The only way for Bu Sa to quickly face the reality and know what the so-called strict hierarchy is is to let her play with the several princesses of the first wife's family.

In the evening, after hearing Buerhe's plan, Jingyi frowned and offered to join in. Tomorrow was the Shangshufang's ten-day holiday. She had originally planned to read with her brother, but seeing her cousin, who had become a nun, so adorable today, she decided to spend another day with her.

Since my mother has proposed to discipline my cousin, she must pay attention to it. No matter what, the sisters in my uncle's family are all royal princesses. No matter how gentle and virtuous they are, their dignity as royal family members cannot be violated.

To put it nicely, my cousin is innocent and naive, but to put it more strictly, she has no rules. It would be fine if my aunt doesn't mind it tomorrow, but if she takes it seriously, my cousin will definitely be in trouble.

Jingyi was overthinking it. Buerhe had explained everything clearly before sending the invitation to the Grand Concubine, and had even given specific instructions, wanting to expose Busa to the rules of the royal family. Only a wake-up call could awaken someone who was pretending to be asleep.

The next day, when Buerhe took the two little girls to the appointment, he didn't expect that the Third, Fourth and Fifth Fujins also came with them.

It had been a long time since they had seen the Fifth Lady. They first asked about her health. After learning that the fetus was stable and she could do some exercise, they went to Houhu Lake together.

The Houhu Lake is mainly covered with lotus flowers, of many varieties, including the well-known Antouchun, Bilian, Danhua, Furong Qiuse, Han Gongchun, Lvfang Hanzhu, etc. The Antouchun flowers were in full bloom at the place they visited this time, and not only could they enjoy the flowers there, but they could also experience the lotus picking activity again.

The boat prepared this time was not a small boat. With so many children wanting to participate in the activities, the small boat would not be safe enough, so the group directly boarded the boat that had been prepared long ago.

After the greetings, Bull arranged for a few little girls to sit on the other side, while the sisters-in-law talked together.

The Fourth Lady, with her large belly bulging, looked at Buerhe suspiciously, "Second sister-in-law, what are you up to today? Why did I only invite my eldest sister-in-law? If I hadn't happened to run into you, would I have missed this event again?"

Buerhe glanced at the Fourth Lady and said, "Haven't you been coming to Houhu Lake quite often lately? I heard you complained to Fourth Brother a few days ago that you were tired of it. Why are you so eager to come here again today?"

The Third Lady loved to join in the fun, and upon hearing this, she joined in the fun: "Yes, yes, Second Sister-in-law, it's not very nice to go out with only the eldest sister-in-law and not take us. You're a little biased. But the Fourth Sister-in-law is also like that. You can see this scenery up close all the time, so why would you care about it once or twice?"

The first wife was an honest person. She just watched them joking around and pulled the fifth wife, who was smiling silently beside them, to sit with them.

Buerhe: "Well, I see you're itching to play, so I'll leave you out when I go out to play. Humph, since you all say so, it would be unreasonable for me not to confirm it. I will definitely not tell you two next time I go out. And wow, since I'm not a good sister-in-law, some people won't get a share of the good things I prepared today. Sister-in-law, Fifth Brother's wife, I'll give you the two extra ones later!"

The First and Fifth Concubines did not expect such a good thing to happen and quickly expressed their gratitude.

The Third and Fourth Concubine exchanged a glance, then walked to Buerhe's side, one on the left and one on the right, each holding an arm: "Good Second Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, what good things did you prepare today, just give me my share." "Yes, yes, good Second Sister-in-law, I was just joking, don't take it seriously, we are the only sisters-in-law here, if only two of you have something and we don't, it would be embarrassing if people saw it."

Buerhe turned around and ignored them: "Humph, don't some people say that I am biased? If I am not biased, wouldn't I be wronging some people?"

The Fourth Lady said, "Who is it? Who is it? Oh, Second Sister-in-law, tell me who said this. I will go find her. You are the most fair and good Second Sister-in-law. Who can say that you are partial?"

The Third Lady was unhappy that the Fourth Lady was pulling her, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters, so she quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, no one here, Second Sister-in-law, would accuse you of being partial. Did you hear wrongly? Hurry up and share some of the goodies you brought with us."

Seeing the Third and Fourth Concubines rocking Burhe on the left and right, the First and Fifth Concubines couldn't help laughing beside them. Burhe lost his temper after being rocked, and nodded at the Third and Fourth Concubines: "You guys, you're all mothers, but you're really annoying." After saying that, she also burst into laughter. For a while, the Concubines were laughing and having fun.

After laughing and joking, Bullhe directly opened the box brought by the palace maid. There were five exquisite small boxes in total, and they were classified according to each person's favorite color.

Buerhe took out a box and handed it to the first wife: "I remember that the eldest sister-in-law likes bright red. Here is a bright red jewel. I hope you like it." The first wife opened it and was immediately delighted: "Oh, how can there be such a bright red? It must be a diamond."

Buerhe: "Sister-in-law, you have good taste. This is a diamond. A few days ago, my jewelry shop received a batch of diamonds. I saw that these stones were translucent and beautiful, so I kept a few to give to you and my brothers and sisters-in-law. This one is bright red, the color is warm and charming, which is most suitable for your temperament."

Seeing Sanfujin and others waiting eagerly beside them, Buerhe quickly handed over the boxes that belonged to them.

The Third Lady's diamond is purple, just like the noble and elegant feeling she gives people; the Fourth Lady's diamond is a pink diamond. Although the Fourth Lady looks tall and big, she is actually a little girl at heart and likes these pink and tender things the most; the Fifth Lady's diamond is a blue diamond. The Fifth Lady gives people the same feeling as this blue diamond, gentle and calm.

Everyone was very happy to get their own diamonds. The Third Lady asked: "Second Sister-in-law, what color is the one you left for yourself?"

Bull smiled mysteriously, "It's a green one. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and even had it made into a necklace. I feel that green represents endless vitality and hope, as well as health and harmony."

After hearing what Burhe had said, the Third Lady didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she turned to discuss with the others how they might use the diamond. Some suggested a brooch, a ring, and a necklace. As they chatted, they began discussing designs for the diamond, and then moved on to their latest jewelry and dresses.

Bull heaved a sigh of relief, but glanced at Qi'er who was serving beside him. Qi'er understood and quietly turned around and went to the other end of the boat.

On the other hand, the eldest of the several princesses was the eldest princess from the first wife's family, so she was the one who entertained them. The eldest princess was very well behaved, and her every move showed the demeanor of a lady of nobility. Whether it was arranging seats, taking the initiative to bring up topics, or taking care of the moods of the others, she did a great job.

This was also the first time that Busa met an outsider, and he was very reserved at first. However, since they were all children, he quickly integrated into the environment under Jingyi's guidance.

Children love to move around and it is impossible for them to just chat like adults. Jingyi suggested that they play a game of pitching pots, which is suitable for both big and small children.

Maybe it was Busa's good eyesight, or perhaps she was born into a family of military commanders with good genes, but she managed to win seven or eight times out of ten. In contrast, the other princesses' results weren't as impressive. Even the eldest princess could only win three or four times out of ten. After a few times like this, everyone started to lose interest in the game.

Of course, playing games is most enjoyable and sustainable when both teams are evenly matched, but Busa only thinks about winning when she plays, and she keeps winning like this. But after just a quarter of an hour, the others can't stand it anymore and can't feel the joy of playing, so there's no need to continue the game.

Jingyi pulled Busa's hand and suggested playing Go again. This time it was not Busa who won, but she who always lost. Even after losing, she did not give up and kept pulling the other party to play chess until the other party became impatient and changed people to continue playing.

Seeing that her sisters from her eldest uncle's family were all pouting, Jingyi quickly thought of another way to play the flower rope game with them. This time, the princesses from the eldest prince's family no longer looked for Busa to play with, but instead took the initiative to team up with Jingyi to play the game. Now Busa was the only one left alone, and the palace maids had to play with her.

Busa also pouted and wanted to protest, but Jingyi gave her a sharp look and she dared not move anymore. She could only play with the palace maid obediently.

Finally we arrived at the spot, and everyone came out to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Children could also experience the fun of picking lotus flowers. This is already the central part of Houhu Lake. Because there are not many people here, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and each one is very bright.

As per the old rules, Buerhe suggested that several little princesses praise the lotus together. No poetry was required, just praise the lotus, and no repetition was allowed.

The eldest princess was the first to set an example: "She is graceful and elegant."

The Second Princess continued, "It's about to bloom."

As soon as the Second Princess finished speaking, Busa interrupted and said, "Keep yourself clean."

The scene fell silent, and several people from Fu Jin's side immediately looked at Buerhe, only to see his brow furrowed. Busa seemed to sense she had just said something wrong, for everyone glanced at her, not with admiration, but with a hint of disapproval. Busa, initially gloating over her own success, lost her smile and retreated to the side with a look of trepidation.

The third princess paused and then spoke: "Double Lotus."

Jingyi concluded: "The inside is straight and the outside is open."

Bull and: "Very good, let's have another round. This time we must respect the order of seniority and the distinction of honor and disrespect."

It all started with the eldest princess: "Out of the mud, untainted."

"Water wears wind-blown clothes", "graceful and graceful", "contains the desire to bloom", and then finally Busa hesitated and continued: "graceful and graceful".

Everyone smiled at Bu Sa, and even Buerhe joined in the praise: "Not bad, that's a good word. Okay, enough praise. Anyone want to pick lotus flowers? The palace maids will go pick the flowers. Just tell them which one you want."

The young ladies went to see Cai Lian in great spirits, and the sisters-in-law followed them. The Third Lady walked up to Buerhe and said, "Second sister-in-law, you have other intentions today. How could you bear to embarrass the eldest princess of the Ulanara Mansion like that?"

Buerhe sighed, "You all saw today that my niece has become spoiled and unruly. The elders in the family are reluctant to educate her, so as her aunt, I have to find a way to correct her. I have to thank my sister-in-law for her cooperation today. Otherwise, I think it will take a long time for her to wake up."

The eldest concubine smiled gently: "It is because of the quietness of the Ulanara Mansion that the eldest princess has been able to develop such a delicate and innocent character. I envy her very much. If my princesses could have a few more years of innocence, I would rather they were not so considerate."

Buerhe patted the eldest wife's hand. Every family has its own problems. The reason why the eldest wife's daughters were so outstanding was because the eldest prince's family was complicated. They were exposed to too much darkness early on, and their personalities had already grown imperceptibly. As a mother, the eldest wife must have felt sorry for her children maturing so early.

However, after seeing the scene just now, Buerhe also knew that today's goal had been achieved. Now it all depended on Nanny Li's ability.

Several people picked a lot of lotus flowers and lotus pods in the lake, and even fresh lotus roots. The group came with great enthusiasm and returned with a full load.
