The weather is hot, and the hospital feels even more sweltering.
The imperial concubine had been somewhat ill since that day, but it wasn't too serious, at least she didn't call for the imperial physician.
But these days I haven't been sleeping well and have no appetite, it's really exhausting. In just a few days, I've lost weight.
"Old lady Yang pitied her and also had no way: 'My good Fu Jin, what's wrong with you? If something happens to you, won't those petty people be delighted?'"
"The master suspects me. Yang Niangniang, have you handled it cleanly? That Xiuer is dead, where else can she be?" Madam Fu frowned.
"Fu Jin, there's nothing to dispose of. Xiuer is dead, that's all." Yang Ayi said in a low voice: "That medicine, only a little was used, it can't be detected now. Xiuer is dead, everything else is fine, her family doesn't know anything."
The princess nodded.
"What's the most number of days Ye Shi has served in the bedchamber?" asked Fu Jin.
She has been feeling unwell lately and hasn't taken care of this matter. However, the records from the mansion's servants should be available, but it's likely that Ye Shi has served more often.
"The master probably likes her freshness, after all, she looks better. However, recently, Mrs. Geng has also received several favors. But as for Li Ce Fu Jun, the master still went there." Yang's nanny smiled and said.
"Geng's family? This one is quiet and well-behaved, but I don't know if it's true or fake. The women in the backyard are not easy to deal with." Fu Jin said tiredly.
"The most annoying one is that Yun Gege." Yang's nanny sneered: "Plotted once, but didn't see the master."
"Li's reaction was fierce, and Yun said that the kitchen was too harsh. Yang's nanny was very happy!"
It was she who called Fu Jin to cause trouble, now she is suffering, isn't it what she deserved?
"Yun's family. This person, isn't unusable, but needs to be handled with care. Now, no matter what she does, she'd rather suffer than come find me, that's just her not believing me. Wait till she can't take it anymore, she'll naturally come." Furen coldly smiled.
She likes people who surrender to her, but for someone like Yun Shi, she may not necessarily trust them. Such women have too many tricks up their sleeves and are too bold, they might even bite back in the future.
Yang hurriedly responded and ordered someone to bring over the ginseng soup: "No matter what, Master can't go without eating or drinking. Take good care of yourself, there's nothing that can't be overcome."
That year, Xiao A Ge is gone, what else can't be let go?
Obviously, Fugui also thought of this and drank a bowl of soup although she had no appetite.
"Master is back today and called me. I'll rest for a while." The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and there will be an opportunity to talk to the fourth master again.
She is the legitimate wife, and this is a good thing. Even if Fourth Master doesn't want to come, there will always be opportunities to see him.
"Alright, Master, you rest. We'll keep watch. When the young master returns to the manor, we'll invite him over." said Yang's nanny with a smile.
The princess murmured in agreement and lay down.
Fourth Master returned at a not-too-late hour. Emperor Kangxi was not in the capital city, so they didn't have much to do; even entering the palace wouldn't be a problem.
So I went out in the morning and came back before lunchtime.
In the main hall, Li Daquan personally came to the front yard to invite Fourth Master: "Our master said that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, please come to the main hall for discussion. The mansion is not like those years, and a table must be set up."
"What's to be done will be done, we'll go into the palace for lunch and pay our respects to the princess, and in the evening, we'll set up a banquet at home. Since Madam Fu wants to make a big deal out of it, let's just invite a troupe of actors." Fourth Master said unenthusiastically.
Is this what you're saying, then I won't go?
Li Daquan didn't dare say more and hastily responded with a "yes" before excusing himself.
After coming out, he wiped his sweat, although it was hot today, but what he had was cold sweat! It's true that the aura of the Fourth Master is getting bigger and bigger!
He hung his head in distress, feeling anxious and worried about how he would explain himself when he returned. He didn't even want to see the dark face of Fu Jin.
In the main hall, Madame Fu listened to Li Daquan's words and only responded with a hum, then waved her hand for him to leave.
She had expected as much, no big deal, if we don't meet today, it'll be Dragon Boat Festival soon anyway, and we'll definitely see each other then.
"She sighed and said, 'Since Grandfather has spoken, this year's Dragon Boat Festival will be lively. Invite a good theater troupe to the mansion. Instruct the kitchen to have zongzi everywhere, don't miss any place.'"
Nowadays, Ce Fu Jin has regained her favor, and there must be some in the Ge Ge's place.
Ye's family gained favor, and Fu Jin no longer had to worry about being kept waiting by the kitchen staff.
It's all right at ordinary times, but now it's slow, I'm afraid Fourth Master is going to get angry.
That night, Fourth Master went to Jin Yu Pavilion.
As soon as I went in, I was seen by a girl behind me.
That girl naturally went back to report to Green Willow: "Sister Green Willow, the master has arrived!"
She was a little excited and thought to herself that the one in front of her was just a concubine, if the princess were to come out on horseback, wouldn't she be able to summon Master Ye to this place?
Green willow silently shook her head: "Alright, go busy with your own affairs, don't think wildly."
It's not just anyone, it's Ye Shi. Although she is a concubine, she is highly favored.
A concubine who can summon her master at any time is no ordinary person.
It's already difficult for Gege to get married, if she offends someone again, then in the future...
Even if she's just a concubine, as long as she has means, she won't have to worry about being calculated by the princess.
Yun Gege naturally didn't dare to be so eye-catching, but thinking that tomorrow morning, being able to see Fourth Master was also good. Tonight, she absolutely wouldn't dare go disturb him.
Yezao was here and met Fourth Master, with a bright smile he stood up.
She had just washed her hair and it was still damp, but she combed it out and greeted: "Greetings to Grandfather, may Grandfather be auspicious."
"Hmm, is this washing your hair?" Fourth Master asked, looking at her half-dry long hair.
Her long hair was black, dense and smooth, and Fourth Master couldn't help but think of the feeling he had touched at night.
"You've made me laugh, I didn't know you were coming today." Ye Zao felt a bit uneasy.
Fourth Master nodded and sat down: "Next time wash it during the day when the weather is good, it will dry in a moment. Isn't it a headache to wash your hair at night and can't dry it?"
Ye Zao nodded happily: "Thank you, master, I'll remember!"
Fourth Master grunted and beckoned: "Come over."
Ye Zao obediently sat in Fourth Master's arms.
Fourth Master stretched out his hand and stroked her still damp long hair: "Your hair is good, tomorrow ask Su Peisheng to bring some rose oil for you to use."
Such good black hair should be well taken care of.
Fourth Master suddenly understood why beautiful women are called temptresses.
A woman like Ye Zao, with skin as smooth as cream and hair as black as ink, would you let her wear coarse linen clothes or wooden hairpins?
It's only fitting to use the best things to nourish her slender and delicate body.
Isn't it just one's own downfall after all?
Fourth Master sneered at himself, thinking that he had always looked down on those men in history who spent a fortune for the sake of women.
Now he even wants to make good use of this little thing.
Ye Zao called Si Ye laughed and said: "Master?"
Fourth Master looked at her: "Hmmm, I think that fox should be raised in a way that makes it smooth and shiny."
