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

Chapter 95: The crisis brought by the precious ring, the fourth brother is blessed

Regardless of whether Concubine Mi is a smart person or is just confused for a moment, it does not affect the twins having playmates of the same age, even though they are two uncles.

Buerhe had considered finding study companions for the twins, but many of their peers couldn't take care of themselves. Wouldn't it be a joke to ask them to come into the palace to care for them? If they asked for someone slightly older, the twins wouldn't need one because all the children in the Shangshufang were older than them. Since they stayed in the Shangshufang all day, their classmates would be nothing more than study companions.

With the company of the two uncles, the twins' useless afternoon martial arts class was cancelled. You can't really let two three-year-old kids learn horse stance and archery, right?

With such a small body, it was difficult to lift the bow, let alone draw it to shoot. It was really difficult. Moreover, the martial arts master in the Shangshufang said that it was not good for the physical development of young princes and princesses to learn martial arts too early. It was better to wait until their bones were a little stronger before starting to learn.

Thus, the twins' afternoon martial arts lessons became play sessions with the two little princes. Of course, they didn't just play around; occasionally, the twins would take their two uncles to learn how to read, or go to the small garden of Yuqing Palace to plant vegetables, and even go to the palace's cat and dog room to bring home a cute little lion dog.

Speaking of learning to read, this was actually something the twins had planned from the beginning. Now that they had plenty of time in the afternoon, the two of them acted as little teachers and helped Yinyou and Yinlu start learning from the Thousand Character Classic.

Learning to read comes first, which has been passed down since ancient times. However, this activity had just been carried out for less than a quarter of an hour, and the twins felt the powerlessness of being the master of the Fourteenth Prince. The two little princes were not interested in the boring literacy game and even wanted to sleep when they heard about literacy.

This made the twins, a boy and a girl, who had been willing to learn actively from the beginning and had very good memory even though they could not remember everything they saw, feel very difficult. If this activity could not be carried out, then the time they would have for learning in the afternoon would be reduced.

In order to have more time to study, the twins tried their best to get their two new friends into the army of studious people.

Seeing the twins struggling for a long time and almost crying, Bullhe offered them an idea: "You can draw a picture of the word or make up an interesting story about it. Wouldn't that attract their attention? Learn one word at a time, step by step. As they learn more words, they will naturally take the initiative to read and learn."

After understanding what their mother meant, the twins thought the suggestion was feasible and immediately began to make arrangements.

Hongye first wrote the names of some small animals and then added pictures of the animals at the end. Jingyi focused on writing some actions and added corresponding pictures.

They moved quickly, and after just a quarter of an hour, there were no less than ten pictures placed in front of the two brothers Yinyu and Yinlu.

The results of this education were gratifying. Although Yinyou and Yinlu could not write or were easily confused in a short period of time, they remembered these ten words. If they reviewed them a few more times, they would be able to remember them completely.

With the good results, the brother and sister were even more motivated. In the first two days, they no longer looked for extracurricular reading materials to increase their reading volume after coming back in the afternoon, but sat upright at the desk to make learning cards for their two uncles.

So far, the twins have progressed to idiom stories. It's not that we've given up on the Thousand Character Classic, but some characters are a bit far-fetched to illustrate with pictures. Idioms, however, are different. Many idioms, like "covering one's ears and stealing a bell," "waiting for the rabbit by a tree stump," and "drilling a hole in the wall to steal light," require only a simple picture and a funny story to help the two young uncles quickly memorize the idiom. This also adds four more characters to the learning task.

Of course, this learning process only lasted less than five days before the two uncles became bored. They were of average talent, and being able to learn a lot of characters after just a few days of studying diligently inside was already impressive. Furthermore, they were still children, and their natural instinct was to play. Now, even the story of learning characters at their desks every day couldn't stop them from wanting to go out and play.

Seeing this, Buerhe offered advice: It's better to unblock than to block. If you want to go out and play, then go ahead. Didn't the twins also suffer from their overly tight study schedules during the summer? The same principle applies, except that it was Jingyi who was physically overwhelmed, while now the two little brothers are mentally overwhelmed.

Besides, going out and having a good time can not only relax your mind, but maybe it will also make you more motivated to study next time?

After Buerhe’s guidance last time, the twins knew that what their mother said was right, so this time they fully trusted her and put it into practice directly.

That afternoon, the kids spent two hours in the toy room playing like crazy. At one point, they were so tired they didn't want to move anymore, so they even learned to play Go. It was a simplified version of Gomoku, of course, but even simple activities like this can help develop the brain, right?

After playing and joking around, the little friends in Yuqing Palace got along better and better, and the fun began in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

It is said that since the Fourth Master returned to Beijing, he has been living a very comfortable life recently. He has a lovely wife and beautiful concubines, and they get along very harmoniously, which makes the Fourth Master enjoy himself for a while.

Ever since Niuhulu Zhenhuan's life became better and better, Shi and Dong'e's sense of crisis became more and more serious.

Originally, they planned to wait for the Fourth Lady to come back and find a way to make her have a miscarriage or hinder her childbirth, but now their minds have changed. Even if the Fourth Lady gives birth safely to the eldest prince Honghui, there will be no big problem. After all, giving birth to a child is easy but raising a child is difficult. There is still a long time in the future. They still don't take a mere Nara family seriously.

But it was different with Nianhulu, who was Hongli's mother. Shi didn't live to see Hongli ascend the throne and didn't know what Hongli's future position would be, but Dong E knew it clearly. All the descendants of the future Fourth Master had no choice but to let Hongli ascend the throne.

Moreover, that guy was a tough guy. After he ascended the throne, he spent days instead of months in mourning for his father. However, he started celebrating and announced the end of mourning after only 27 days.

After he became emperor, all of the Fourth Master's descendants, including his close relatives, were under his suspicion and surveillance, and even the Third Master's family, which had already been defeated at that time, was not spared.

Then, almost all the national policies set by the Fourth Master during his lifetime were changed. Many of the strict policies set during the Yongzheng period were relaxed, and people were even allowed to carry and sell small amounts of salt. "Poor, young and old, men and women, who carry less than 40 kilograms of salt, are not allowed to fish."

Unexpectedly, soon after the order was issued, many people in Tianjin began to smuggle salt, carrying it on their shoulders and backs, "under the pretext of obeying the order." In Zhenjiang, Guangzhou and other places, smuggling salt openly occurred, forming gangs and disregarding the law.

This also forced Hongli to retract the previous order, prohibiting the sale of salt. Dong E remembered it so clearly because the Third Master had caused a big fuss in the mansion because of this matter. He was drunk as a muddy mud and kept cursing the Fourth Master for being blind and choosing a useless heir.

If she had another chance in this life, she definitely wouldn't want to be inferior to others. She entered the Fourth Master's Mansion because she wanted to be the empress dowager.

Now that Niuhulu has appeared, I should put aside all those meaningless fights and vying for favor and start actively preparing to get pregnant and give birth to a child.

Even if Honghui was born, he would not live long. In this case, it would be okay to let him go this time. Her current goal is to give birth to a prince before Nianhulu enters the palace and gain a firm foothold. In this way, when the Fourth Master ascends the throne in the future, her own son will be ranked before Hongli, so that the Fourth Master will not be left without a choice.

The person who knows you best is always your opponent. Although Shi didn't know who inherited Yinzhen's throne in the previous life, since Dong E had been secretly paying attention to Nianhulu, it meant that she was definitely related to that woman.

Dong E has now begun secretly looking for a doctor to take care of her body and prepare for pregnancy, which means that this is the best time. Although she doesn't know much, since Dong E does this, there is no reason why she can't learn from her. Anyway, her body has been almost recovered, and she is just waiting for the Fourth Master to come back so that she can get pregnant.

Li from the same mansion is also ready to try. She has already miscarried a child, but the Fourth Master still loves her. As long as she is given time, she will be able to get pregnant again. With the Fourth Master's attitude towards her, she believes that after she gives birth to the little prince, she can also fight for the position of concubine in the Fourth Master's mansion.

Originally, Li's ambition was not so big, because besides her, there were two other people of Manchu descent in the mansion. However, after observing for more than a year, she found that the Fourth Master was only indifferent to Shi, and it was considered good if he could visit her once or twice a month. As for Dong E, she visited her a little more often than Shi, but only about three times, and the rest was basically divided equally between the concubine and her.

Originally, she was the most favored one in the entire mansion. The master spent most of his time in her yard every month, and even the concubine had to stay away from her when she saw her.

But no one knew when Fu Jin started to change. She spoke softly and gently, and acted like a lady of the house. Not only that, she managed all the affairs of the mansion impartially, and even if she wanted to find fault, she couldn't find any mistakes.

In addition, the concubine was accompanied by a nanny and a senior palace maid who were awarded by the palace, so the entire main courtyard could be said to be managed impeccably.

If they had not joined forces to take back the power in the backyard, they would have been suppressed by the concubine to the point of suffocation.

But even so, they did not win. Although the power in the mansion was divided among the three of them, the Fourth Master did accompany the Lady to Changchun Garden and stayed there for more than two months without taking any of them with him.

Moreover, they have no control over the front yard of the Fourth Master's mansion. The Fourth Master has ordered them not to control the main yard. The only yards left are the three of them. If they are divided equally, they will each manage their own yard. What's the difference from before?

Oh, there are still some. Ever since they got the power of housekeeper, the three of them have been fighting more fiercely. Any little thing like ice, fruit, needles and thread can become a reason for conflict. Their life is even more difficult than when Fu Jin was the housekeeper.

The only benefit was probably the placement of some servants in the mansion. For example, her people were mostly stationed in the sewing room and the stables, while Dong E occupied the main kitchen, and Shi's people controlled the front and back doors. However, every gain has its drawbacks. The placement of a large number of servants had consumed most of her money during this period. If she hadn't lived in the Fourth Master's mansion with free food and drink and a monthly allowance, she would probably be penniless now.

Three women make a drama, and the Fourth Lady is pregnant and cannot be served. During this period, whenever the Fourth Master returns home, he will definitely run into the princesses in the backyard. The three of them seem to have a tacit understanding. Today it's Dong E, tomorrow it's Shi, and the day after tomorrow it's Li Gege. In short, all kinds of means are used frequently, trying to make the Lady pregnant before she gives birth.
