Chapter 268: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 14
"Congratulations, Eighth Lady, you are pregnant." said the imperial physician after taking her pulse.
"Really?"
The imperial physician said respectfully, "It is absolutely true."
The Eighth Lady touched her belly happily, and then asked someone around her to give the imperial physician a purse.
The imperial physician took it and found the purse bulging in his hand. He knew it was full of silver as soon as he touched it. His smile immediately became more sincere.
After the imperial physician left.
Mingyu gently touched her sister's belly and said, "Luckily, the Fourth Lady reminded me today. Otherwise, I don't know when my sister would have noticed it."
The Eighth Concubine: "Yes, we should thank the Fourth Sister-in-law." The Eighth Concubine thought that she should give the Fourth Sister-in-law some generous gifts to express her gratitude.
Such a big happy event should also be told to Lord Beile.
The Eighth Lady asked, "Where is Beile? Where did Beile go?"
The people around him hesitated, but under the gaze of the Eighth Lady, they still told where they were going: "The prince went to the concubine's place."
Mingyu stood up, looking angry: "What, you said that my brother-in-law went to the concubine's courtyard."
"No, sister, your pregnancy is such a happy event, your brother-in-law should know about it. I will go and call him over now."
The Eighth Lady held her back and said, "Okay, Mingyu, don't go. No one can stop Lord Beile from going anywhere."
There was obvious disappointment on the face of the Eighth Lady. She managed the mansion well for the Prince so that he would not have any worries. In order for him to have a smooth career in the court, she used her family background to win over many people for him.
She was wholeheartedly doing good for him, but he was indifferent to her sincerity and trampled on her sincerity.
He favors his concubine and assigns such an important matter to her, which makes her lose face.
She is a human being, and she would be sad if he treated her like this again and again.
She has been married to Grandpa Beile for a long time. She was in love with him from the beginning, but now she is more and more disappointed in him. Perhaps, it is very likely that one day, her feelings for him will completely disappear.
Seeing the disappointed look on her sister's face, Mingyu felt very sorry for her. When she thought of the two Maertai sisters, she became angry.
"My brother-in-law is really too much. And there are the two Maertai sisters, especially Maertai Ruoxi. She doesn't seem to be well-behaved at all. With such a person in the mansion, how can my sister rest assured to take care of the baby? I really hope that the selection will come soon so that she can be married off quickly."
The Eighth Lady was also very annoyed with a woman like Ruoxi who had no rules. It would be good if she had a lively personality, but Ruoxi was not lively at all. She was too lively. She was crazy.
Even if she wasn't pregnant, she would also want to discipline him. After all, she was the one in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, and she couldn't let the Eighth Prince's mansion be ridiculed because of her.
But now she is pregnant, this is the child she has been waiting for so long, and now nothing is more important than her child.
Speaking of getting married, the Eighth Lady glanced at her younger sister. Her younger sister was also of marriageable age, but for some reason, she had never thought about this matter before, nor took it to heart.
It seems that she doesn't care enough about her sister.
The Eighth Lady was thinking about the young talents she knew, and she must choose someone for Mingyu who has a similar family background and is suitable.
Thinking of this, the Eighth Lady was no longer disappointed that Yinsi did not come.
Ruolan's place.
Ruolan was apologizing to Yinsi, but Yinsi did not blame her, saying that this was her first time to handle such a big thing, and her unfamiliarity was expected, and it was not entirely her fault.
How could Yinsi bear to blame Ruolan? Ruolan was the concubine. There were some things she didn't understand, and he could understand that. But as for Fu Jin, he frowned when he thought of Fu Jin. Ruolan didn't know, but didn't Fu Jin know either?
Why didn't she help the concubine for him? Did she hate Ruolan so much?
It really disappointed him.
Ruolan glanced in the direction of Ruoxi's room. Yinsi sensed it and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry about Ruoxi. Ruoxi is still young and a little lively. She will become more stable in a few years."
The reason why he made Ruolan his concubine was because when he saw her for the first time, he was deeply moved by her handsome and beautiful appearance riding on a horse.
He thought to himself that after Ruolan married him, he would be able to take her riding horses, and she would smile brightly at him.
But since Ruolan entered the mansion, everything was different from what he had imagined.
There was no longer a bright smile on Ruolan's face. She abided by the rules, lived a peaceful life, and was very cold to him.
He didn't know why she became like this.
He thought of many ways, but none of them worked. The current Ruolan is no longer the same Ruolan as before.
Ruoxi is Ruolan's younger sister, and she and Ruolan have different personalities.
Ruoxi was very lively and loved to laugh, and she looked somewhat similar to Ruolan. When he saw her, he felt like he was seeing the Ruolan of the past. Her arrival just made up for the unspoken regret in his heart.
Although what Ruoxi did was a bit too much, it was harmless and still under control.
Yinsi turned the ring on his thumb, his eyes flashing with deep thought, maybe he could let Ruoxi be his concubine.
In this way, when he missed Ruolan's bright appearance before she got married, Ruoxi was just a thought.
Of course, he could also personally make Ruoxi look like Ruolan before.
When he thought of this, his heart became excited and he wished the draft would come soon.
On the other hand, after Yu Ludai returned home, Yinzhen went to the front yard to deal with some things, while Honghui accompanied Yu Ludai for dinner and then went back to study.
Yu Ludai had nothing to do, so she asked the people around her to play chess with her.
The four maids around her, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, were all literate. After staying with her for a long time, they had learned a lot of skills, such as housekeeping, embroidery, flower arrangement, and chess.
Among the four, Cuichun was the best at chess, so Yu Ludai asked her to play chess with her.
It snowed for about an hour, and Yu Ludai didn't want to snow anymore.
After Yu Ludai finished washing up, she returned to the inner room and asked someone to extinguish the candles. She didn't like having people keep watch all night, so she asked everyone to leave.
Lying on the bed, Yu Ludai pulled the bed curtains and entered the space.
Yu Ludai picked some fruits and made a fruit plate, then lay on the recliner under the peach tree, looking at the scenery in the distance and the peach blossoms falling from time to time.
The peach tree is now very sturdy, and there are many peach blossoms on the tree. If you look from a distance, it looks like a pink color.
Very romantic.
The peach tree grows in space. It will never wither, and its petals will never fall. It will only bloom forever. If the peach blossoms grow too mature, they will fall off.
These fallen peach blossoms are very bright, and she doesn't want such beautiful flowers to go to waste.
