The woman in the backyard, being able to get along well is a good thing indeed.
But sometimes having different stances makes it impossible to get along.
It's just like Song Shi. She also knows that Song Shi is actually a good person.
But on the surface, Ye Zao is a person of Zhengyuan. All along, he has done nothing for Zhengyuan, and now the opportunity is right in front of him.
It just so happens that Yuning dislikes this person, so it's better to let her go. For Song Gege, having this child would be a bad move.
This lifetime, unless she has the ability to gain favor, will continue to give birth to children.
Either it is San Ge's good fortune after this.
Otherwise, Fu Jin would have been oppressed by her all her life, which is a certainty.
So, it doesn't matter about Ye Zao's performance today. It's just a way to give Fu Jin an excuse and a reassurance.
Let Fu Jin know that Ye Shi is also good at serving and pampering, and is an ordinary person.
Otherwise, a concubine who never makes mistakes, looks good and is liked by her husband... isn't that actually very dangerous?
"I understand now, Miss is really kind and thoughtful." Ah Yuan nodded suddenly.
"Go to the cafeteria and bring back a few pumpkins. Let's roast them and eat." Ye Zao smiled.
A-Yuan let out a cry of surprise and rushed out to see Xiao Tingzi in the courtyard, but couldn't find Hua Sheng.
"Little pavilion, where is the flower born?" A Yuan asked.
"A-Yuan sister, look over there." Little Tingzi pointed and laughed.
A-Yuan looked back and saw Hua Sheng hiding behind a pile of snow that the eunuchs had just swept clean, playing with a cat...
"It's really naughty, take it to show the girl, you go to the kitchen and get a few pumpkins back, the girl wants to eat roasted pumpkin." Ah Yuan said.
Xiao Tingzi responded and handed the peanuts to Amber, then patted off the dirt on her body and went to the kitchen to get some pumpkin.
Amber hugged the dog and went in with A Yuan and A Ling.
The little pavilion went to the dining room.
He was young and of low status, so he addressed everyone as "older brother". However, the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen, both high- and low-ranking, still smiled kindly at him.
Xiao Tingzi was very sensible, he knew in his heart that this was because the girl was favored.
He had seen it before, those little eunuchs who used to serve Highness Gao are now miserable.
"Hey, Xiaoting has come to have lunch? Isn't it a bit early? Didn't you just have breakfast?"
"No, I'm here to ask for a few pumpkins. It's been dull these days and our young lady wants to roast some pumpkins." Little Tingzi smiled.
This pumpkin isn't worth much, so today Ye Zao didn't give him any money.
"Oh, that's it. Roasting pumpkins in the house is also good. Come, I'll pick a few good ones for you." A small eunuch said with a smile.
Soon gave him a canvas bag.
There are seven or eight pumpkins inside, three or four potatoes, and a few taros.
"Take it away, come back for more if it's not enough." The little eunuch said with a smile.
The little pavilion saw clearly at a glance, all of which were selected with small heads and red colors.
The smaller ones are not inferior products, but rather that roasted sweet potatoes are more suitable when they're a bit smaller. The larger ones take half a day to cook, and the red ones are sweeter.
The little pavilion thanked the eunuch seriously and then carried the bag back.
Ye Zao personally took action, but... although it seemed like a simple thing, she still couldn't do it well.
Watching Rouge's skilled movements, Ye Zao couldn't help but think that he had been blessed with good fortune in his past two lives.
Can't even get this simple thing done.
Different from the joyful atmosphere in Jin Yu Ge.
Song Gege is formidable on this side.
Returned home and changed into another set of clothes, then went to see Third Brother.
As soon as I entered, I saw Yuning was also there.
"Give Gigi a peaceful night." Yuning bowed his body.
Song Gege's face didn't look good: "How did you end up here?"
She had never said that Yuning was not allowed to look after the child, but she suddenly realized that Yuning should not have been looking after the child in the first place.
"The servant saw that Third Brother was awake and came over to take a look." Yuning lowered his head.
"Go back." Song Gege said irritably.
Yu Ning responded with a "yes", and reluctantly took one last look at Third Brother before leaving.
"You're also getting too ignorant of the rules. Third Brother is still young, who can see him?" Zhen'er scolded the wet nurses.
The wet nurses murmured in agreement, but also didn't say anything about it never happening again.
After all, Song Gege didn't say this.
Song wanted to forbid Yuning from seeing the child, but she thought the child was still young and wouldn't remember even if they saw each other.
She thought to herself, next time there's an opportunity, it would be better for the Xus to move elsewhere.
Living in a courtyard is always inconvenient.
Third brother looks very good, after leaving the month, he grows taller with the wind.
Song Gege hugged her for a while and teased her for a bit, but the child was too young and soon fell asleep again.
After the child fell asleep, Song Gege returned to the room.
"Ba'er pinched her shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, Gige. No matter what, you now have Third Brother's support. You'll also have someone to rely on in the future. The main courtyard... is just jealous."
"Hmm." Song Gege's thoughts had long since wandered off somewhere, and it wasn't until after a while that she responded with a single sound.
The words he wanted to say next were swallowed back down.
She thought Ye was overdoing it.
But thinking that Ye is a person of Zhengyuan, it's better not to say anything.
Gege can provoke Ye Shi, but cannot provoke Fugui.
What's more... can Ye Shi really be provoked?
"I don't know when Master will be able to return." Song Gege suddenly said.
"It seems... we'll have to spend the New Year here." said Zao'er.
It's already December now, and this year is definitely gone.
Song Gege nodded, as long as Fourth Master comes back, it will be fine. When Fourth Master returns, Madame won't dare to be so arrogant and the backyard will be peaceful again.
She just needs to stay in the backyard and raise her children well, nothing else, how dare she argue?
The next morning, Fu Jin and Ce Fu Jin entered the palace.
The New Year's Eve in the government office was spent according to the old rules.
Early in the morning, the porridge awarded by Madame Fu was already seen in the Jin Yu Pavilion. That's it.
He symbolically ate a bit of the date and then pushed it away.
As usual, he ate the breakfast sent by the cafeteria, which was more sumptuous than usual.
Inside the palace, Fu Jin and others were celebrating Laba Festival in Yonghe Palace.
De Fei also inquired about the situation of the Fourth Master.
"This year is gone and won't come back, it's something for next January or February." said Fu Jin.
"Hmm, Laosi is not around, so you'll have to take more care of things in the mansion. The children are all still young and need to be taken care of." said Empress De in a light tone.
But it's just a polite remark, in fact, since the fourth master left the palace and built his own mansion, she hasn't interfered with the affairs of the fourth master's backyard.
The imperial concubine rose: "Yes, I know. This is what I am supposed to do."
"Hmm, you've always been a cautious one." The Empress Dowager waved her hand.
"On the tenth day, you don't have to bring the child in," said Empress De.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Ladyship. I don't know where Concubine Yu has been accommodated," asked Fu Jin.
"Move into Yanxi Palace." De Fei naturally knew.
Although the ceremony has not been held yet, the imperial decree has already been issued, and Yu Pei has moved into the main hall of Yanxi Palace.
"Yu Niangniang is so lucky." Fu Jin smiled slightly.
The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement, wasn't it a good fortune?
With such a background, as soon as she became pregnant, she was promoted to Pin, what about the women who had been struggling in the harem for half their lives?
