Chapter 834 Outlining a Tough Profile

Ever since she became pregnant, she basically didn't know how to salute.

But in the past, because of the face of Er Niang and Shisi, he couldn't argue with a pregnant woman.

But today, he felt that there was no need to give them face at all!

Otherwise, there is no such thing as seniority or inferiority.

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De understood everything without him needing to say anything else.

Moreover, I feel guilty for no reason.

Because in the past, she made a lot of fuss because of those rules.

Even if the fourth master has done enough courtesy, she is still dissatisfied.

How can I say more now.

Seeing Concubine De's guilty conscience, Ruoyin said, "Since Er Niang and Fourteenth Brother insist on taking sides, my daughter-in-law will ask Huang Ama if the rules in the Forbidden City are particularly different. A small concubine can not only Seeing the prince and Fujin not being polite, there will be people covering up."

She and fourth master have always treated Concubine De with courtesy and respect.

Even at this moment, she will not be less courteous to Concubine De, and she is only targeting their beloved Wu Shi.

I don't understand why Concubine De has so much hostility towards her and Fourth Master.

To be precise, why is there so much hostility towards fourth master.

Since no matter what they do, it depends on Concubine De's face anyway, so it's better to make things difficult for Wu Shi, who they care most about now.

"You..." Upon hearing about Kangxi, Concubine De tightly gathered her handkerchief, feeling unreasonable fear in her heart.

Then, she said to Wu Shi: "Wu Shi, it was my palace who called you to stop you, and you forgot to salute, now hurry up and salute the fourth son and the fourth son Fujin."

"Yes." Wu shi looked unwilling and reluctant, and saluted Ruoyin and Si Ye: "I have seen Prince Yong and Si Fujin."

"Okay, put yourself in the right place from now on. It's fine if you have no rules in the Fourteenth Brother's house, but outside, if you still behave like this, you will lose face to the royal family." Ruoyin said coldly.

After such a fuss, Concubine De didn't have the heart to chat with Wu Shi anymore.

She waved her hand towards Wu Shi, and said lightly: "Wu Shi, you can go and sit down first."

In the end, she was too eccentric, with a bad attitude and too tough.

Usually she dotes on Wu Shi because of the child in Wu Shi's belly.

But at this moment, she still blamed Mrs. Wu for not knowing etiquette and making the atmosphere too stiff.

If it were someone else, they would obediently salute as early as when it was mentioned.

How could he have waited until such an embarrassing situation happened before he was forced to salute under coercion.

"Yes." With the support of the servant, Wu sat down opposite Ruoyin unconvinced.

Then, Concubine De waved to Lord Fourteen again: "Fourteen, come, sit next to Er Niang."

She can't favor the concubine, but it's okay for her to favor her own son!

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more awkward, fourth master didn't stay any longer.

Anyway, the mid-autumn gift had already been given to Concubine De when she entered the palace.

So, he stood up and said: "There are still some things to do at the son's house, so I will go back to the house with Fujin first, so as not to disturb the reunion of E Niang's family."

When speaking, he put "a family" very seriously.

Every holiday is the same, he is like an outsider.

Concubine De at the head was stunned for a moment, and then said "Mmm", it was right.

And he motioned to Aunt Cui to see Aunt Cui off.

No matter what, she still had some scruples about this taciturn son in her heart.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Ruoyin and fourth master sat on the carriage back to Yuanmingyuan.

In the car, fourth master leaned on the car mat.

A pair of eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

When they arrived at Yuanmingyuan, fourth master got out of the carriage first.

When Ruoyin got out of the car, she heard the man beside her say calmly, "Stay with me for a while."

"Oh." Ruoyin didn't say much.

Just followed Fourth Master to his Wanfang Anhe.

When there, the man did not return to his own room.

Because his Wanfang Anhe had thirty-three houses, he just went to a house that was closer to his residence.

After watching him enter the house, Ruoyin followed him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Fourth Master's nanny, Mrs. Xie, making moon cakes in the room.

Hong Yi and Hong Xiuben were raised in the fourth master's courtyard, and Mammy Xie took good care of them.

Now that the two met Ruoyin and fourth master, they went forward to salute together.

"Ama" and "Er Niang" cried.

After the fourth master asked the children to wake up, he calmly asked Madam Xie, "What mooncakes did Mama make this year?"

"My slave is going to make some lotus seed paste and egg yolk, and some stuffed with five kernels." Madam Xie kneaded the ingredients in her hand, and asked, "What do Si Ye and Fujin want to eat? Just tell the slave, the slave just wants to eat." Do."

"Mommy, let's figure it out." Ruoyin and Nanny Xie weren't particularly familiar with each other, so it wasn't easy to ask for anything.

Besides, this is fourth master's nanny, who grew up serving fourth master.

A nanny with this status is respected.

"Where's fourth master?" Xie Momo asked fourth master again.

"You can do whatever you want, Mommy. Noon Master and Fujin will have lunch here, and you can cook a few more dishes as you like."

"Okay, let's cook a few of your favorite home-cooked dishes and steam a few big crabs. The crabs are the most plump at this time."

Fourth master gave a faint "um", lifted the curtain, and closed his eyes on the rocking chair in the inner room to rest.

Ruoyin only opened the curtain, but didn't enter the house.

She glanced at fourth master who had his eyes closed. The sunlight outside the window slanted on his cheeks, outlining his tough profile.

Under the eyelids, the eyes are moving slightly, as if they are asleep.

Seeing this, she didn't enter the room to disturb him, and let him be alone for a while.

It must be uncomfortable to be misunderstood and treated indifferently by relatives.

Then, Ruoyin put down the curtain, went outside to help Nanny Xie, and talked about some past events.

From what Nanny Xie said, Ruoyin knew that Nanny Xie had been taking care of Si Ye's daily life from the moment he was born.

Even if the fourth master went to Queen Tong Jia's place later, he returned to Concubine De's lap.

During this period, Mammy Xie was always by his side.

Even though he started a family and started a business, he still let Madam Xie take care of the daily life in his yard.

Perhaps for him, Madam Xie is not just a slave, but also the only elder close to him.

Just like Kangxi has always regarded Lagu Su Ma as his old sister.

After all, Aunt Su Ma was the one who took care of him when he was young.

Because in the Qing Dynasty, many princes were raised by other concubines or nanny.

After about an hour, lunch will begin.

Ruoyin had dinner with fourth master, Hongyi, and Hongxiu.

She found that the dishes Xie Momo cooked were nothing special, they were just ordinary home-cooked dishes.

But fourth master ate four bowls of rice.

Probably the children also saw that fourth master's atmosphere was a little cold, and after eating obediently, the two went back to their own room.

Then, Ruoyin followed fourth master back to his own room, and helped him change his clothes and clean his hands.

After the two lay down, the servants all went out.
