"No matter how smart someone is if he comes from a small family, it will be useless without someone to teach him," Huiyue said.
Nan Zhi also nodded, "I heard that Wan Wanrong's father took in three concubines, and there are also concubines from her uncle's and uncle's families. It's a big family with complicated connections. I'm afraid her life in the boudoir is like being in the palace."
After she said that, Ye Jun thought about it and realized it was true.
Among this group of newcomers, although Qi Wanrong is more favored at the moment, it is obvious that Wanshi is more adapted to the life in the palace than her, and she speaks and acts with ease.
"Thinking about it this way, Zhang's life is not easy. Concubine Xia doesn't serve her much anymore. She sticks to the queen wholeheartedly. She is actually better than Xia." Ye Jun smiled.
Although white lotus is not very popular, its tenacity is still worthy of respect.
"But I heard that the Queen Mother has been focusing on disciplining Han Cainü recently and has arranged for a nanny to teach her the rules again. She has paid less attention to Zhang Wanrong." Huiyue said.
Ye Jun narrowed his eyes indifferently.
"Zhang is a thoughtful person, so naturally she is not as easy to control as a newcomer. Han Cainv has also been sitting on the bench for a year. Isn't she more obedient than Zhang? She is also younger and prettier. If it were me, I would also be willing to spend time on Han."
Nan Zhi frowned when she heard this, "But if this happens, Zhang Wanrong will inevitably be unhappy again. She just divorced a concubine, will she..."
"No, if she dares to leave the queen, there will be two people in the palace who will not tolerate her." Huiyue said.
Ye Jun glanced at the two girls and smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good. Huiyue has become more thoughtful and Nanzhi has also been thinking more."
The two of them felt very embarrassed but also very happy when they heard this.
It is a good thing for a servant to be recognized by his master.
And such happy things don’t just happen here.
In Fengqi Palace, Chu Yun, a palace maid who is good at making delicious tea, has been increasingly appreciated by the Queen recently.
After discovering that this girl not only knew how to make tea but was also literate, she was transferred to her side and promoted to a second-class palace maid.
But that’s other things, for now let’s go back to Zhao Chunxuan.
After the master and servants came back, Ye Jun went to see the children first.
The fourth prince had just finished feeding and was being burped by his wet nurse.
When Ye Jun came, he took the child in his arms and kissed him in a very happy mood.
Perhaps it was the bond between mother and son, the Fourth Prince grinned when he was kissed.
Although it can't make any sound now, it can grin, which looks very cute.
After playing with the baby for a while, Ye Jun asked about what happened today.
The wet nurses answered all the questions one by one, very carefully.
Ming Xiuyi was favored, and the wet nurses assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all carefully selected, so no one dared to neglect their care for her.
"You are all in this business, so you naturally know more about raising children than I do. I feel relieved to leave the Fourth Prince to you, but you cannot just follow your experience to raise a child. You have to listen to the imperial physician and me. If you take good care of the Fourth Prince, you will naturally benefit from it. You also know that I am not a stingy person."
Ye Jun held the child in his arms and glanced at the four wet nurses, which meant he was giving them a warning.
Naturally, they all understood what was going on and expressed their loyalty without hesitation.
Ye Jun was quite satisfied and smiled, "Okay, you guys have worked hard every day, there's no need to be so reserved. Hui Shunyi is going to bring the second princess to see the fourth prince today, you guys should coax the child to sleep first, I'll ask someone to hold him later."
After giving this order, he handed the child to the wet nurse and returned to the main hall.
When she went to pay her respects in the morning, for the first time in a long time, she wore a gorgeous palace dress, but she changed it immediately.
It's too heavy and oppressive, it's better to wear casual clothes.
She ordered someone to prepare some cakes and make a pot of hot tea, and then Hui Shunyi brought the second princess here.
The second princess, who just turned three years old, is soft and cute, like a rice ball.
As soon as she came in, Nian Gao started to circle around her.
Nian Gao is a relatively large dog. Standing next to the three-year-old Second Princess, the two are almost the same height.
The wet nurse was afraid that the dog would scare the child, so she went to hold the second princess.
Unexpectedly, before she even squatted down, the second princess was so brave that she hugged the rice cake.
"Mom, what a big dog! It's bigger than the one in the picture!"
"Oh my little ancestor, please don't hurt the rice cake." Hui Shunyi exclaimed.
He quickly bent down and squatted, pulling his daughter over.
"Rice cake?" The second princess asked in confusion, "Is it the rice cake for eating?"
"It's not the rice cake we eat. Rice cake is the dog. It's its name."
At this moment, Ye Jun came out of the house and explained with a smile.
The second princess looked at her and bowed obediently.
Nuonuo said, "My daughter greets the Queen Ming."
The little girl is so adorable, and I don’t know if it’s because she’s a mother and her maternal love is overflowing, or if the second princess is just too sweet, but Ye Jun really wants to rub the second princess’s nipples.
"Don't be polite, just come in and sit down to talk. I have prepared some pastries and Sister Hui's favorite tea." Ye Jun smiled.
The group went into the house and sat down first.
The Fourth Prince was still asleep, so it was difficult to carry him to the palace. Hui Shunyi asked someone to take the Second Princess to see him.
This time he sent the child away, it was obvious that he had something to say.
As expected, Hui Shunyi spoke without hesitation.
"Sister, you gave birth to a prince this time. There are already four princes in the palace. It is uncertain whether there will be more in the future. When the children grow up, there will be fights. What are your plans, sister?"
Ye Jun narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Of course I have to earn it. During the time I was favored, I also had a lot of conflicts with others. If I can't have the last laugh, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy my old age in peace."
Looking at how low-key and cautious the Grand Concubine is now, she no longer seems to be able to compete with the Queen.
If you ask yourself honestly, Ye Jun couldn't bear to put himself in such a situation.
She planned to gain favor, but she didn't want to wait until she was old and then all her efforts would be wasted.
"I knew what you were thinking." Hui Shunyi took a sip of tea.
Ye Jun looked at her and smiled, "Actually, my sister gave birth to a princess, so she should be prudent and protect herself. No matter which prince takes the throne in the future, he will not treat the second princess badly. This is also for the sake of her own reputation."
"Don't test me." Hui Shunyi glared at her. "It's been so many years, and the second princess just showed up yesterday? If I wanted to protect myself, I wouldn't have stayed with you for so long."
Ye Jun's words just now were naturally meant to test him, but he also said them in a joking tone.
Don't take it seriously anyway.
At this moment, she just laughed, "Oh, sister Hui, why are you so anxious? It's my fault. I shouldn't have made such a joke. Don't be angry. We have been friends for five years since we entered the palace."
Hui Shunyi sighed, put down the teacup in her hand, and said seriously.
"I became friends with you at first because I felt that you were not an ordinary person. Later, I felt that you were more reliable. I am not a person who wants to rise to prominence. I just want to live a good life for myself and the Second Princess. No matter which prince takes the throne, it will not affect the Second Princess's marriage. But the Royal Family is the Princess's family. Only if the Princess is really close to the one sitting on the throne can she live a good life."
