Fourth Master snorted: "Song Shi, are you certain you want this child? Whether it's a boy or a girl, will you not regret it?"
"Yes, I only wish for a child under your knees, whether it's a boy or a girl, I won't regret it." Song Gege kowtowed: "I beg Master to fulfill this wish."
"Alright, I've agreed to your terms. You can go now." Fourth Master's mouth curled up into a cold smile,
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" Song Gege smiled happily and retreated, completely unaware of the Fourth Master's indifference.
After she left, Fourth Master laughed again: "Su Peisheng, you say, why is this Song family so stupid?"
"I... I wouldn't dare speak of Master's affairs." Su Peisheng hastily lowered his head.
However, in her heart, she also felt that Song Gege's move was really not played well!
Look, she has children now, but because of her scheming, the slight difference and guilt that Fourth Master had towards her completely disappeared.
At this time, it's not about competing with Fugui for the child, Fourth Master doesn't dote on Fugui, but that doesn't mean he necessarily likes Songshi either.
After challenging the authority of his wife, it's all over. I'm afraid from now on, Fourth Master won't be able to enter the Song family's house again.
Actually, there's no need to rush. If Yuning is having a son this time, the next concubine will get pregnant and Song Gege will come to ask for him, Fourth Master won't be angry.
"You go and move that Xu family to Song's courtyard. I'll go see Madam Fu!" Fourth Master said, then got up.
Su Peisheng grunted and hurried off to take care of it.
In the main hall, Madame Fu smiled after hearing Fourth Master's words: "The Song family is also having a hard time."
"This child should have been raised by you. Now that she has spoken, Grandfather cannot not give it to her. You don't need to worry, you will have your own children." Fourth Master said.
"Yes, I originally thought to raise this child well. Now that Song has said so, I'm not in a hurry either. Anyway, there will be someone in the mansion. Ye is still young now, and after two years, she will also have children. At that time, I can take care of them together with their mother, which is the same. To tell the truth, I don't particularly like Yuning, who is not as sensible and polite as Ye, and also interesting."
This remark hit the soft spot of Fourth Master's heart.
Yu Ning was truly detestable to Fourth Master. At this moment, wasn't Ye Shi precisely the one favored by Fourth Master?
"It's fine as long as you understand, I'm sorry to trouble you. Fourth Master has already arranged for the Permitted family to move into the Song family's courtyard."
"Yes, although Song Gege took her child, I still protected her well and made sure she gave birth safely. The adults are at fault, the child is innocent." Fu Jin said.
Fourth Master nodded: "Xinku Fu Jin has arrived. I have something to attend to, so I'll head back first and come over for dinner tonight."
The imperial concubine hastily got up and saw him off: "Your humble servant and concubine bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Fourth Master grunted and got up to leave.
The imperial concubine sneered: "This Consort Hui is really capable of jumping around. She's actually found a good person." Isn't she just picking up a soft persimmon?
Song's mother took her child and would never let her die.
From then on, both mother and son were at Song's place, so the child could follow Song's relatives.
This is ridiculous!
"Master! Do you want...?" Yang's nurse made a pinching motion.
"No. The palace already has few children, and since Song Gege wants a child, let her have one. Not only will no one lay hands on her, but also protect her well. From now on, make sure to take good care of her, don't let anyone touch her! Let her give birth! Best if it's a son!"
The child of a concubine, raised by a princess, where did the nobility go?
She is still young, even if she doesn't give birth herself, there will be plenty of children in the mansion for her to raise.
Whether it's a concubine or a princess later on, does one child still worry?
It's better to see how Yu Ning will make Song Shi regret not doing it earlier!
Yang's eyes lit up: "Master is thinking too much, it won't work. I'll instruct them to take good care of Yu Ning, and make sure she takes her daily supplements properly, otherwise when the time comes for her to give birth, Master will be in danger, we must protect Mistress Xu well!"
Let Madam Xū and her son live a good life, and make Song Gēgē feel sick for the rest of her life! Let her compete with Fú Jūn!
"Hmph, Song Gege will be like this for the rest of her life. Father won't dote on her again." Fu Jin sneered.
"Nowadays, Li can't even attend to the emperor's bed, and no one else matters. But this Ye, she's really something. She's got a good head on her shoulders." Yang laughed and said, "We'll just have to see if she's lucky or not with that belly of hers."
"She's still young, even if she gives birth now, it won't be good. No rush, isn't a princess coming to the mansion soon?"
The master and servant exchanged a smile.
It's just a matter of time before Ye Shi gets favored again, so be it.
The next morning, Shirofuku went to the palace.
In Yonghe Palace, Empress Dowager Cixi said: "It's a bother to ask you, but in the backyard of our palace, there are not many reliable people. Li is good, but now that she's pregnant, it's even more difficult for her to serve. I'm also not capable, and since there are few children in the palace, please select two good ones for me."
"Hmm, I've got it. This year's selection of ladies-in-waiting has many good ones, I'll carefully choose two. The one that Fourth Brother likes, I know too." You like petite and fair-skinned ones?
"Thank you, Mother!" Fourth Mistress hastily said.
After she came out of the palace, De Fei had someone bring over a booklet: "Are there any outstanding ones?"
Having a grudge against Fourth Master is one thing, but it's not like he doesn't care that his son isn't doing well.
"As for the Master's words, this time there aren't many outstanding ones. However, those who can be called by us, the Fourth Master, are all here." A booklet, all of them were Han army flags and Manchu people who weren't considered too prominent.
Those prestigious ones can only be bestowed by the Emperor himself.
"What does this look like?" De Fei pointed at Geng's name and asked.
"I haven't seen them myself, but the person who brought them said that both of these albums have good-looking people in them. I suppose they wouldn't dare to cheat."
"That's it, you go and choose another one. Take a look, as long as he looks good and his family background is not too high, that's fine." said the Empress De.
The girl responded with a "yes" and then went down.
When the imperial concubine entered the palace, she went to choose one. There were many who looked good and had an ordinary family background, so she chose casually.
Fourth Master also knew that Fugui had entered the palace, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Recently, Fourth Master has been doting on Ye Zao besides his legitimate wife. Ye Zao is really being pampered now.
While the Xus and Song Gege's matter was known by everyone in the mansion, each had their own thoughts. Li Shi was pregnant and hadn't shown up yet.
I wanted to make a move, but unfortunately, Fu Jin's protection was too tight, and I didn't have the chance.
"Furen is really kind and benevolent, they are not even her own children, yet she still protects them like that! She's truly a virtuous wife and good mother!" Li Shi said with disdain.
"Master, they are no longer the children of Fu Jin, why bother with this? Just a gege, raising children is just a slave's job!" Zhao Fugui smiled apologetically: "You, taking good care of your pregnancy is what matters. Even if Song Gege raises ten more children, can she surpass our Second Prince?"
