Chapter 22 Princess Wu
After Yihuan finished teaching Honghui, she asked someone to invite Wu and Geng in.

Judging from their appearance, they are two completely different people.

Wu Gege was wearing a light pink Qi-style makeup, which made her look charming and beautiful, with lively eyes. Geng Gege stood with her head down, her hair combed meticulously, and you had to look closely to see the pattern on her light blue clothes. She knew how to hide her shortcomings.

Yihuan looked at Geng with interest. It was she who raised the famous Prince Yu Hongzhou in later generations. After Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, he graciously allowed Hongzhou to take Geng out of the palace to take care of her. This was something that many women in the harem envied.

It is really hard to imagine that this calm and peaceful woman in front of me actually raised a devil. It really shows that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

As for Wu, Yihuan thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember that there was such a person in Yongzheng's harem. She thought that she had been drowned in the conspiracy in the backyard long ago. This person was not to be feared.

Yihuan didn't plan to do anything to them. As long as they didn't reach out to Honghui, they would be harmonious sisters. Otherwise, they would be enemies of life and death.

According to the rules, Yihuan said some nonsense like observing etiquette, serving the Fourth Master, and giving birth to a son as soon as possible, and then had someone take them to familiarize themselves with the courtyard.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Hong Xiao spoke up, "Fujin, I see that Princess Wu is very bright and beautiful. We must be on guard in advance."

Yihuan smiled, motioned Hongxiao to massage her shoulders, and turned to ask Nanny Chen, "What do you think, Nanny?"

Nanny Chen said confidently: "In my opinion, Geng Gege has some hidden talents. We must not let our guard down."

"We still have a long way to go before we get along. As long as the two of them behave themselves and don't offend the Fourth Master and me, everything will be fine. If they deliberately cause trouble, then I won't care about the Empress's face." Yihuan took a sip of tea.

Yinzhen returned to the study and Su Peisheng came over to answer.

"Master, according to the rules, the Fu Jin is hosting a banquet in the garden today to welcome the two new princesses. Please come over and take a look."

Yinzhen nodded when he heard this. This was because Shihuan had informed him in advance. Ever since Yinzhen was injured, Kangxi seemed to realize that he did not care enough about his son.

How does a father show his concern for his son? By giving him a woman.

So even before the selection of concubines, the palace welcomed a registered beauty, which was considered eye-catching among the princes.

"How did Fu Jin arrange the two princesses?"

Su Peisheng said quickly, "Fu Jin said that the two princesses should not disturb Li Gege's pregnancy, so they were all placed in the South Garden, which is close to the garden and far from the East Courtyard. A Bao had someone clean up the room in advance, and all the furnishings were picked out from the storeroom. I went to check it out, and Nanny Chen is very experienced in her work."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen wanted to praise his wife for her virtue, but he inexplicably felt a little unhappy: "Is your wife acting differently from usual?"

This..., Su Peisheng groaned in his heart.

He had to serve Yinzhen all day, and it was good enough that he could give a ear to the main courtyard, and he had to send someone to ask about the East Courtyard occasionally. How could he know the mood of this concubine?

"Master, I am stupid, what do you mean?"

Yinzhen was silent for a while, then knocked on the table: "Forget it, how do you know?"

Su Peisheng looked up at his master who seemed a little moody, then lowered his head and thought to himself, this servant really does know.

It’s just that I feel that Fu Jin is not jealous.

If he were to say, the master was really difficult to serve. The concubine had been jealous every day since the birth of Prince Honghui, which made the master more and more annoyed with the main courtyard.

Now that Fu Jin has come to terms with it, the master thinks it’s better to be jealous. How can this be justified?

As a eunuch, why should I, as a eunuch, pretend to be so smart about the emotional entanglement between my master and me? Even if I am beaten with a stick today, I will not understand it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yinzhen changed into casual clothes and went to the garden.

As soon as I walked in, I heard a female storyteller telling a story in a very emotional voice.

The eldest princess and Honghui surrounded Yihua and listened intently. Yinzhen chuckled. She knew how to take the opportunity to amuse herself.

"Father!" Honghui has been sticking to Yinzhen recently. It should be that the previous injury left a little psychological trauma in the child.

Therefore, during this period, Yinzhen responded to Honghui's every request, and the relationship between father and son made rapid progress.

When Yihuan saw Yinzhen coming, she waved to the storyteller to leave. She couldn't think of anything to talk about with these nominal sisters, so she came up with a clever way to pass the time, and even Honghui liked it.

"I, your servant, pay my respects to you, Master."

Li listened to Wu's hoarse voice and glared at her fiercely, "You little bitch, you still have two faces. Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you."

Seeing Wu, who was wearing pinker clothes and had a younger face, Li was somewhat stimulated.

During this period of pregnancy, she clearly realized a reality: she had fallen out of favor again.

If it weren't for the baby in her belly, Yinzhen probably wouldn't have come to see her even once.

This reality almost drove her crazy, but it also made her cherish the baby in her belly even more.

As long as this is a son, she will be able to turn the tables.

Therefore, Li has been very well behaved these days and has been staying in the east courtyard without going out.

However, when she heard that the emperor had bestowed two princesses, both of whom were extraordinary in appearance and behavior, she could no longer sit still. In the end, she went against Yinzhen's wishes and appeared in the garden.

Yihuan did not stop them. After all, Yinzhen did not explicitly order Li to be confined to her home. If she were absent from such an occasion, it would be a signal to the two newlyweds that this princess was either in extremely poor health or had disliked her master.

Yinzhen reached out and helped Yihuan to stand up. After they sat down at the main seat, Yinzhen said, "Today is a family dinner. Don't be so formal. Please take a seat."

Hearing Yinzhen's voice, Wu bravely looked up at him, and the corner of her eyes swept over Yinzhen like a hook.

Simply put, Wu threw a wink at Yinzhen.

This made Yinzhen frown subconsciously.

Yihuan sat there and saw the whole lawsuit clearly. As expected, Wu Shi started to seek her own death from the beginning.

If she had behaved well, Yinzhen would have doted on such a beautiful little beauty sooner or later for a while. Unfortunately, her behavior was frivolous, and it would be strange if Yinzhen, a little old-fashioned man, could appreciate her.

Yinzhen turned around and saw a woman in red banner makeup, who was facing Honghui with her head tilted to the side and fed him a mouthful of egg custard. The mother and son were very close, as if they were whispering something.

The hairpin on her head swayed slightly, and Yinzhen felt that he was getting drunk, and fell drunk in the dimple on the corner of Fu Jin's mouth.

Seeing Yinzhen staring at Fu Jin without blinking, Li felt even more sad. She picked up the water and stood up and said, "Master, I am pregnant. I am using this cup to wish you good health and success in everything."

Yinzhen looked at Li's slightly bulging belly and took a sip of his cup: "Take good care of her. Tell Fu Jin if you want anything."

"Thank you for your concern, Master. This time I will definitely give you a healthy little prince."

Li was a little excited and spoke without thinking for a while.

The eldest princess lowered her head upon hearing this and tried hard not to cry.

Yinzhen motioned for her to sit down: "Remember what I said, stay in the yard and take good care of your pregnancy."

It’s better not to say this too much in the future. Li sat back in his seat somewhat awkwardly.
