Chapter 208: Misunderstanding
Is the Fourth Master willing?
Who can be willing to give up their ambitions just to see the changes in the Emperor's father, to see the distance between them brothers disappearing, as if they were back to their childhood, and to see that the second brother, the Crown Prince, completely trusts him and makes him the legitimate son!
The Fourth Master did not want to break this peace. If the Second Brother was like this, he was willing to follow him sincerely. He had followed him sincerely in the past and had never had any ambitions. It was only later that the Second Brother became suspicious, and so was the Emperor, that everyone gradually began to develop ambitions.
Now it’s just like going back to the beginning, he… is actually very happy in his heart.
As for his mother being deposed, the fact that she is alive now is a favor from the Emperor. He and his fourteenth brother have benefited from it. The Emperor wanted him and his fourteenth brother to stand behind the Crown Prince forever. If he really wants to fight for it, even if he succeeds, he will be regarded as an ungrateful and ungrateful person in history!
This time it was a clear plan. The emperor's kindness to my second brother really makes people jealous.
"Fourth brother, I will not let you down," the prince did not expect to get this reward. He actually wanted his fourth brother to be remembered under the name of Empress Xiaoyi. This was a knot in his heart. In the past, his fourth brother had always stood behind him sincerely. The prince thought that he would be deposed, so he might as well be a good person for once!
I didn't expect that I could discourage a younger brother's ambition in this way. Oh, that's great!
In fact, if I think about it carefully, it seems that the emperor did this for myself, so maybe I really don’t have to be useless!
This feeling started when he made his brothers busy. The prince's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had found out what he had done wrong in the past. He is the prince, the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and what he needs to learn is how to employ people and how to control his subordinates!
Now, the fourth and seventh brothers are in charge of grain seeds, he and his eighth brother are in charge of the new department, the ninth and tenth brothers are in charge of cement, the third brother and his fifth brother are in charge of vaccination, and he proposed that the eldest brother be in charge of the Suzhou kicksmith riot.
All the brothers who had entered the court were busy, and some other smaller matters were left to the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth brothers who took care of the clan members.
When there are more tasks in the future, if two people are responsible for one task, send out another one. Don't think you can take it easy. After all, according to what his ninth brother said, his ninth brother's wife should record down all the preparations she knows and hand them over to the Emperor!
He felt that it would be difficult to have an easy life in the future, so his younger brothers had to grow up quickly, otherwise there would not be enough for them. He even wanted to let Little Fifteen go out!
Fifteenth Prince: Second brother, are you polite? You might as well let Little Pomegranate take charge!
The other brothers don't know what the prince is thinking...
Wen Yao has already left Yiku Palace and brought the Fourth Lady to the Prince's residence, asking the Fourth Lady to have dinner there today, and the Fourth Lady did not refuse.
In the main hall, the palace maids and eunuchs beside them all left, leaving only the two maids beside them. The fourth wife picked up a piece of dried fruit and smiled, "Recently, there are two more pregnant women in the backyard of my fifth brother. My fifth brother's sister-in-law has also raised her head and is much more cheerful than before. Those little thoughts have faded a lot."
"Her life has improved, so she has become less scheming. As for how bad her mind is, Fifth Sister-in-law doesn't have it." Wen Yao still won't make close friends with Fifth Lady, and doesn't want to talk about this topic. She is not interested in Fifth Brother's backyard, there is nothing good to see there. "Fourth Sister-in-law, is Li in Fourth Brother's backyard really doing well?"
"Now that our mother is no longer involved, Li is very easy to control. The Fourth Master is a man who loves someone to death and hates someone to death. When he is sincere to someone, he will only be sincere to that person," said the Fourth Lady, with a ruddy face and a gentle smile in her eyes that was happy.
"Oh~" Wen Yao stretched out her voice and said with a smile, "I understand, I understand. Fourth sister-in-law is really enviable now. Honghui is smart and well-behaved, and the fourth master loves her. The housekeeper's power is still in her hands. Her life is wonderful!"
"You're still talking about me? You are the Ninth Brother's favorite. When he wanted to take a concubine, he asked others to give him 600,000 taels, which directly cut off the possibility of taking a concubine. You are the most enviable person," the Fourth Lady glared at Wen Yao, her cheeks flushed a little. Her life is indeed very good now, but she did not lose her composure. The Fourth Master is not like the Ninth Brother. The Fourth Lady knows very well that she cannot maintain his exclusive favor.
After thinking for a while, "If there are really no illegitimate sons and daughters born in the future, the reputation of the Dong'e family will be bad. This is the case with my third sister-in-law. If it is the same with you, I am afraid..." The smile on the Fourth Lady's face disappeared. The ninth brother and his wife saved Honghui. The Fourth Lady had a good relationship with Wen Yao, so she would usually tell the truth. She was really worried.
"Then let people look at me with admiration through my achievements. Now the achievements I have made are beyond the reach of any man," Wen Yao said that this was not a big deal. She had already led the Dong'e clan to change their flag. Are the women of the Dong'e clan jealous?
But she is smarter than men and can give birth to children, which is enough to erase her jealousy.
"Ninth brother's wife has indeed made great contributions, which can be passed down to future generations. In this case, there is no need to worry about the sisters of the Dong E family." The fourth wife also thought of this, "Ninth brother's wife, don't blame the fourth sister-in-law for talking too much."
"Fourth sister-in-law is doing this for my own good. How can I not tell the difference? Have you seen other people talk to me about this? They all just praised me for being so lucky. Apart from mother, only you, fourth sister-in-law, would worry about me so much. Third sister-in-law doesn't care about this at all," Wen Yao thought of her own cousin. She didn't care about these things at all, so she would definitely not come to persuade her to take a concubine for Yinzhen?
The sun can rise from the west, but it is impossible for Third Sister-in-law to say such a thing. That is not something she would say!
It would be fine if she didn't ask me to kill those concubines, but she still wanted to take them in? Haha!
The fourth sister-in-law put her index finger to her lips and laughed, "Third sister-in-law is indeed like that, but who can compare to the third sister-in-law's freedom?" The fourth sister-in-law had a trace of envy on her face, "At least I can't be so free and easy."
"Third sister-in-law is very free and easy, and third brother is not a scumbag either. Fourth sister-in-law, do you know that Wang in third brother's backyard wanted to attack Hongqing, but was directly destroyed by third brother," Wen Yao thought of the gossip about third sister-in-law's backyard, and finally found someone to complain about it. She read the gossip, but if no one complained about it, there was no point in reading it!
The true meaning of reading gossip is to share it!
"I do know a little bit. It seems that the matter of Fucha family was also handled by my third brother. I always thought that my third brother just loved beauties and was just... respectful to my third sister-in-law. I didn't expect it to be like this. It surprised me. No wonder my third sister-in-law loved my third brother so much," the Fourth Lady thought about the possessiveness of the third sister-in-law towards the third brother. It was no wonder that she was tempted.
"The prince born to Fucha died a few days later. In fact, the prince she gave birth to did not live past a full month. This had nothing to do with the third sister-in-law, but the death of other illegitimate sons made Fucha worried, so she was too worried when she was pregnant, which led to the young prince's early death. But she blamed the third sister-in-law for the prince's death, so she began to instigate Wang and Tian." Wen Yao did not expect Yinzhi to act so cruelly and decisively. This was inconsistent with her understanding of the third prince.
