"Jing'er, you're awake. Mother is here." Ye Jun immediately turned around and looked at the couch.
After all, I was still young, and I felt even more aggrieved when I saw my mother.
The Fourth Prince's mouth pursed, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Ye Jun thought he was feeling unwell, so she quickly moved closer and held the child in her arms, "What's wrong? Is your head still hurting?"
After saying that, he kissed her forehead again.
The Fourth Prince felt a little shy and shook his head slightly.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good. Are you hungry? How about asking Aunt Nanzhi to make porridge for you?" Ye Jun said gently.
The Fourth Prince nodded and leaned motionless in Ye Yun's arms.
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "Then I will go and cook a bowl of shredded chicken porridge. The Fourth Prince loves to eat it."
"And eggs." The Fourth Prince added.
“Okay, okay, I’ll cook them all together.” Nan Zhi bowed and went out.
Ye Jun was happy to hear that the child was willing to eat.
While coaxing him to get dressed.
Even though I fell, it's not good to lie in bed every day.
At this time, a big white fluffy thing ran in from the door, humming something. It was Nian Gao.
The Fourth Prince was in a coma yesterday, and the servants were afraid that it would disturb the Fourth Prince's rest, so they didn't let it in. Today, it finally came to see him.
Nian Gao was also smart. He saw that the Fourth Prince was not feeling well, so he rubbed his legs obediently today and did not pounce on anyone.
"Nian Gao, I'm fine, don't worry." The Fourth Prince reached out and touched Nian Gao's head.
The dog also barked twice.
After eating the porridge, the Fourth Prince went to the room to draw with Ye Jun.
Children of the royal family are taught to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting from a young age. Even though the fourth prince is not even six years old, he can already draw some simple ones.
For example, today the mother and son are drawing crabs for fun.
At this time, Kong Qing came in from outside and whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jingxian sent some supplements and they are waiting outside."
The pen in Ye Jun's hand paused slightly, and his eyes turned cold.
"No, tell her to take them all back. The Emperor has told her to focus on teaching the Second Prince. She doesn't need to worry about me anymore."
"Yes." Kong Qing nodded, then went out to send the person away.
The person who came to deliver the gift was Tan Xiang.
Seeing that Ye Jun refused to accept it and even said such words, he felt embarrassed and annoyed.
However, the Zhaochun Palace was not a place where she could lose her temper, so she had to pack her things and leave in shame.
After returning to Zhongcui Palace and reporting the matter, Concubine Jingxian was not surprised.
She had long expected that Ye Jun would not accept it, but she had to go this time.
After all, she is not under house arrest and cannot go out, so she has to save face.
Changchun Palace.
Before Concubine Rong Shu sent out the things she had prepared for the Fourth Prince, she heard that the things sent by Concubine Jing Xian were rejected, and she was undecided for a moment.
Her relationship with Ye Jun has never been very good. If Ye Jun refuses to accept her, wouldn’t she be asking for humiliation
Just as she was hesitating, the eldest princess came in from outside and bowed obediently.
"My daughter pays respects to you, mother. The weather is cold, so I made you a pair of knee pads. Please take a look and see if they are suitable."
As he said this, he asked the palace maid behind him to bring a tray.
Concubine Shu had no interest in reading this. She just took her daughter by the hand and sat her down beside her. "Your needlework is the best. Mother likes it. But you should go out more often and don't stay in the house all the time."
"Okay, my daughter understands. I will take my third sister to stroll in the Imperial Garden this afternoon." The eldest princess said with a smile.
Concubine Shu nodded, "Okay, both of you should wear more clothes, it's cold outside."
Although the third princess was born to Yao Xiang, she was raised by Concubine Shu for such a long time that she had developed feelings for her.
To be honest, Concubine Shu was very good to children and never harmed anyone's offspring.
This may be the reason why she was able to hold the position of concubine for many years even though she was not very smart.
After the eldest princess responded, she saw a pile of supplements on the table and guessed it immediately.
"This is what Mother prepared for my fourth brother, right? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
Concubine Shu then sighed, "This morning, Concubine Jingxian sent something, but Concubine Ming confiscated it. Mother and Concubine Ming have always been on bad terms, and she was worried that she would not accept it. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
"Mother is wrong. The Imperial Concubine will not refuse to accept the things you sent."
The eldest princess said seriously.
"My second brother was also present when my fourth brother got into trouble. Although my third brother pushed the man, if it had nothing to do with my second brother, my father would not have punished Concubine Jingxian as well. So the Imperial Concubine didn't accept it. I think she was angry. But you, my mother, didn't participate in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. Besides, Concubine Jingxian was sent away. If you don't send it away, you will be criticized."
After her daughter's explanation, Concubine Shu finally felt relieved and immediately asked someone to send the things over.
The eldest princess thought about it and said a few more words to her mother.
"Mother, the harem is now headed by Concubine Ming, who has two sons and a daughter and is still favored by the emperor. She has more hope than anyone else to become the crown prince in the future. Even if you don't want to bow your head, you should see the situation clearly. A wise bird should choose the right tree to inhabit."
Concubine Rong Shu didn't expect her daughter to say such a thing, and was surprised for a moment.
Suddenly I realized that my eleven-year-old daughter already understood a lot of things, even... more clearly than I did.
After a long while, Concubine Shu nodded slowly, "Mother knows everything, don't worry."
"Well, mother still has the account book to look at, so I will take my leave first." The eldest princess stood up, bowed, and left.
"Look, Jiayu is now starting to worry about me." Concubine Shu smiled helplessly.
Liuying sighed, "Your Highness, the princess is grown up now. Now she can rely on the emperor to find a good husband, but whether she will have anyone to support her in the future depends on the emperor's mind in the future. Choosing a good path early is also for the princess's future. Look at Concubine Hui, her second princess and the fourth prince are so close that they are like two daughters of the same mother. If the fourth prince succeeds in the future, will she have a bad life?"
After hearing these words, the last hurdle in Concubine Shu's heart was overcome.
Finally, he nodded and made up his mind to try to make friends with Ye Jun in the future.
What people didn't expect was that Concubine Shu actually helped Ye Yun to trick Concubine Jingxian.
Of course, this is a story for the future, and right now one problem after another is emerging.
News came from Yikun Palace that the Seventh Prince seemed to be dying.
Poor Seventh Prince, he was just born yesterday and he looks weaker today.
The imperial physician stood by the bed and did not dare to leave even a step, but even so, he could no longer hold on.
When the concubines and the emperor arrived, Qi Xiuyi was sitting on the bed holding her child and crying.
The seventh prince was so thin in his cradle that his cries were so weak that they were pathetically small.
"What's going on? Where is the imperial physician?" Ning Chen's eyes were dark and the air pressure around him was frighteningly low.
Doctor Yang, who was in charge of taking care of the Seventh Prince, immediately knelt down with a grim look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is too weak and has no strength to suck milk. The child is too small and can't eat much even with a spoon. He can't eat anything. I really can't do anything."
