Chapter 74
Early the next morning, Su Peisheng went to the palace to run errands.
"Ma'am, the eunuch next to Fourth Master is asking to see you." Aunt Cui stepped forward to report.
Concubine De subconsciously twitched her eyes, and said calmly, "Let him in."
Not long after, Su Peisheng came in, knelt down respectfully, and presented the mahogany jewelry box in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the fourth master was working in the Ministry of Criminal Justice recently, and he just returned to the mansion yesterday. After learning that Fujin was here with the empress, the fourth master said that Fujin was pregnant, so he would inevitably cause you trouble in the palace, so he deliberately Let the slave give you a set of jewelry that has been treasured for many years to honor you, and please accept it with a smile."
"The fourth brother has a heart, you go back and bring a message to the fourth child, so that he can relax. This palace will let people take care of Ulanara, but my health has not recovered, and I may want to keep her in the palace. It's been a month or so, and besides, I hope that the fourth child can take good care of the backyard of the mansion." Concubine De said casually.
"Hey, the servant will definitely bring it." Su Peisheng is a fine person, even if he understood the meaning of Concubine De's words, he had no choice but to agree.
It's just that he felt a little nervous in his heart. How would he tell fourth master this?
According to Concubine De, Fujin must stay in the palace for at least one month.
What's more, the fourth master's rain and dew have been exposed to it both openly and secretly!
Concubine De had almost finished speaking, so she waved her hand to signal Su Peisheng to back down.
But as soon as Su Peisheng left, Elder Fourteen entered the hall.
"Emiang, I just saw the slave next to fourth brother, did fourth brother enter the palace?" Fourteenth elder brother asked as soon as he entered the palace.
Concubine De sneered, and replied: "Your fourth master is a very busy person, and he has no time to come to the palace to see me for the time being."
In fact, she knew it well. It was not easy for fourth master to speak up about this kind of matter in person.
I can only ask the servants to send some jewelry to try it out.
At this time, Aunt Cui opened the box given by the fourth master, and said with a smile: "Madam, this set of jewelry given by the fourth master is of excellent quality, snow white, delicate and moist texture, it is rare even in the palace."
Seeing that Concubine De's complexion was not very good since Su Peisheng came in, she said so politely.
But after hearing her words, Concubine De's sneer became more pervasive.
A mother who has no understanding will do nothing in vain.
There was a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and she said lightly: "At this time, I know that the gift is so good, so what do I usually do?"
Aunt Cui held her lips, she wanted to say that Fourth Master also sent many top-notch gifts to Concubine De during the festivals.
It's just that it's more common to send it when you usually pay your respects.
It's impossible to send such a good thing every day.
But after seeing Concubine De's gloomy face, she wisely shut up.
The relationship between Fourth Master and Concubine De is also worrying for a slave like her.
Whenever Fourth Master comes, the atmosphere is either embarrassing or cold!
"Emiang, it's okay, you still have me. When I grow up, I will often give you better ones." Elder Fourteen said sensiblely.
And between him and fourth master, the already deep-rooted estrangement between brothers grew stronger.
After hearing Elder Fourteen's words, the corners of Concubine De's mouth immediately burst into joy, and she said lovingly, "You are still welcome."
Even if they are all their own, the ones raised by themselves are different from the ones raised by others.
Seeing that Concubine De and Fourteenth Elder Brother had a good relationship, the servants in the palace lowered their heads and pretended they didn't hear anything.
It's no wonder that the relationship between the fourteenth elder brother and the fourth master is not very good.
Concubine De didn't shy away from speaking at all, she was like that in front of her servants.
In front of the fourteenth elder brother, what is there to say, it's no wonder if it's good!
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ruoyin came to offer tea to Concubine De, please greet her.
She lives in the Yonghe Palace, so she naturally knows that Su Peisheng has been here once.
Grandma Liu told her when she first woke up in the morning.
Concubine De waited for Ruoyin to take her seat, and said calmly: "The fourth child also knows about you in the palace, and even sent a set of jewelry to honor the palace, so you can stay in the palace with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about other things."
The meaning of this sentence is: the fourth child also knows that you are here, and doesn't care about you, so you should stop thinking about other things.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Ruoyin replied politely.
As early as when Concubine De moved Kangxi out, she had expected this kind of result.
So she has no other thoughts.
Only after Su Peisheng entered the palace and sent a set of jewelry, Concubine De is different after all.
She pulled her lips, and said lightly: "I think you are pregnant, so you can be more casual in the palace from now on, and you don't have to come to grind in front of me. As for the morning province, I have to copy Buddhist scriptures, sometimes at night If you sleep late, you can also get rid of it."
Concubine De probably also knew that her relationship with Fourth Master was cold.
After Su Peisheng's experience, she also knew that Ruoyin's position in fourth master's heart was not as cold as before.
Since fourth master sent a set of jewelry as a hint, she should accept the offer.
Don't make the already indifferent mother-child relationship even more incompatible because of such trivial matters.
Ruoyin naturally complied with Concubine De's request.
Of course, she would not feel that Concubine De was doing it for her own good.
She knew that the reason why Concubine De did this was definitely for the sake of fourth master.
Not long after, the two people who were not at odds chatted casually for a while, and then broke up.
------
After Su Peisheng returned to the mansion, he carefully reported to the fourth master: "Master, the concubine Defei said... Fujin is doing well in the palace, and she will take good care of Fujin, but her health has not recovered. It is estimated that Fujin will have to stay with her in the palace for a few months, and besides, probably because Fujin is not in the mansion, Concubine De has specially instructed her, I hope you can take good care of the backyard."
Su Peisheng knelt on the ground the whole time, not daring to look at Fourth Master.
Rao, he thought about this argument several times on the way back.
But facing the fourth master who was as silent as ice, he was still a little panicked, and a line of sweat had already broken out on his forehead.
Fourth Master was writing, but after listening to Su Peisheng's words.
He casually grabbed the cup on the desk, and violently threw it at Su Peisheng.
Finally, a word was squeezed out between the teeth: "Get lost!"
Su Peisheng saw the cup being thrown at him, but he didn't dare to dodge it.
With a "bang dang", when the cup fell to his feet, he responded tremblingly, and then rolled out swiftly.
He could also tell that fourth master was in an unusually bad mood.
If he stayed a little longer, it might not be as simple as being smashed, and he couldn't even bear it in his heart.
