At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yongzheng returned. He changed his clothes in the front yard and prepared to go see Nian.

"Is there nothing going on in the mansion today?" he asked Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng reported it, mainly talking about the concubine's matter: "I have done everything the prince ordered, and the concubine also gave me this."

He stretched out his hand, and there was a purse in his palm.

Yongzheng understood after seeing it and said, "She just came and doesn't know much yet, so just keep it! I'm afraid no one would dare to give you a reward normally."

"I dare not." With his master saying so, Su Peisheng naturally accepted the purse, but he still asked, "I would like to ask the master, should the concubine's courtyard have two more maids?"

Yongzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "No need."

He knew what Su Peisheng meant. The nanny was there to teach the concubine the rules, and he hated people who didn't follow the rules the most.

But for some reason, whenever he thought of Nian, he thought of her big black eyes, which looked very much like a puppy's. There was only purity in her eyes, nothing else mixed in.

Most of the women in the backyard looked the same, and he wanted to see something different.

Yongzheng took a stack of paper on which he could draw and went to Shen Jiang's courtyard, saying that he wanted to design a dog cage and doghouse for Shizi.

Shen Jiang looked at him with admiration: "Grandpa can also draw!"

Yongzheng suppressed the smile on his face and said, "It's nothing special. I drew the blueprint for the construction of this palace."

"You are too modest, this is amazing!"

Yongzheng drew a dog cage on the picture, indicating what material it was made of, what to put underneath, how many inches from the ground it was, and the length, height, and width. It was very detailed.

Then draw two doghouses, like small houses, with roofs, door sizes, and a window for the dogs to stick their heads out for air. Also clearly indicate whether they will be covered with sheepskin or not.

As expected of you, you are a detail-oriented person!

One of them was drawing a picture while the other was flattering someone, and before they knew it, it was already past six o'clock and it was time to send off the late meal.

Yongzheng washed his hands, sat on the kang, wiped his hands with a towel and asked: "Where does the name persimmon come from?"

Shen Jiang recalled and said, "When the persimmon was delivered, I was eating it, and it was round, so I called it persimmon."

Yongzheng sneered: "This name is too casual."

Yes, yes, the dog names you chose are the best, Zaohua and Baifu, right?

Not knowing whether these two dogs were there now, Shen Jiang didn't dare to speak rashly.

"I see that the master likes dogs very much. Do we have a dog in our house?"

Yongzheng paused and said, "No."

Hey? He hasn't got a dog yet? Does he really have to wait until he becomes emperor before he can let himself go?

Shen Jiang recalled that when Yongzheng was young, Kangxi commented on him with the four words "moody and unpredictable". These four words were like a cage, firmly imprisoning Yongzheng's first half of his life.

It may be difficult for people nowadays to understand, or they may think that Kangxi was the emperor and his comments would influence Yongzheng's life.

But in fact, in ancient times, “Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers”, in addition to the emperor, the comments of “relatives” and “teachers” were particularly important.

If a person is given bad comments by his elders or teachers, then he will be judged with tinted glasses wherever he goes in his life, and his career is almost over.

So Yongzheng had been correcting himself all along, wanting Kangxi to take back those four words. Although he did it, it also changed his character.

Shen Jiang imagined that Yongzheng was a poor little boy who was not loved by his father and mother, and who didn't even dare to show that he liked dogs. Her eyes became full of pity.

When Yongzheng saw her lingering gaze, his old face suddenly turned red. What was this girl thinking?

He coughed lightly, and the food came up soon, along with a pot of wine.

"Let me pour you some wine." Shen Jiang took the initiative to fill a glass of wine for him and brought it to his lips.

Yongzheng drank from her hand and felt that the spark between them was growing stronger and stronger, turning into a raging fire.

After getting on the bed, Shen Jiang thought she was just going to sleep, but unexpectedly, Yongzheng covered her again.

Shen Jiang: Hmm?

Yongzheng: Isn’t that what you want?

Shen Jiang: Just take what you want!

The two people's imaginations were completely different, but they still had a very harmonious and intimate communication. After all, Yongzheng only came four times last night, so he reduced it by half tonight.

After finishing, Shen Jiang lay on the bed feeling dizzy.

"System, the quality of this body is not good enough! I need to replenish it. System? System!"

I called several times before I heard the sound of the phone turning on.

The system said aggrievedly: "Didn't you let me hibernate while you were doing that?"

Shen Jiang: “…” You are still feeling aggrieved.

She opened the mall, found the tonics inside, and picked out some that she needed.

System: "When do you plan to give birth this time?"

Shen Jiang: "I will be preparing from now on."

System: "Huh? In the past, you refused to have children until you were 18 years old. Why did you change this time?"

Shen Jiang: "Look at the actual situation! Yongzheng is already 36 years old. If it were someone else's family, he could be a grandfather, but he only has three sons, two of whom are only four years old! He is also a very hardworking person. If I don't have children soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my son grow up before he dies!"

System: "That's true, then give birth soon!"

Shen Jiang: "The foundation of this body is a little weak, it must be adjusted first, I don't want to end up with two dead bodies."

The original owner's health was really bad, and she gave birth to babies year after year but they all died, and in the end she lost her own life.

If all of Nian's sons were alive and Yongzheng lived long enough, the throne might not necessarily belong to Zhazhalong.

The next day is the day to return home.

Given Yongzheng's love for this new concubine, he would definitely accompany her back.

Before going back, Shen Jiang went to see the princess.

Ulanara remained calm and said, "You can go ahead. I have prepared all the gifts in return."

Shen Jiang took his leave, thinking that if Honghui was still alive, Ulanara would not be so disheartened, right?

Yongzheng and Shen Jiang rode in a carriage back to the Nian family. The Nian family had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When they saw that the Fourth Master had personally accompanied them back, they knelt down excitedly to greet them.

"Please stand up, Mr. Nian." Yongzheng personally helped Nian Xialing up and spoke a few words kindly.

Nian Xiyao and Nian Gengyao were both serving in other places, and the two sisters-in-law were in charge of the household. They surrounded Shen Jiang enthusiastically, asking about her well-being with concern.

But Shen Jiang always felt a little awkward. It was not because she was not Nian, but based on her previous memories, she felt that there was always a hint of caution in her sisters-in-law's enthusiasm for her.

Yes, she is no longer Nian Yuyao, she is Prince Yong’s concubine.

To put it more directly, the Nian family was Yongzheng's subordinates, the Nian family were slaves, Yongzheng was the master, and as a concubine, she also crossed over and was no longer in the same class as the Nian family.

Although dinner was prepared at the Nian family's home, Shen Jiang did not feel the joy of returning home.

She only smiled when she talked about persimmons.

The eldest sister-in-law said, "I didn't find the persimmons later, but I was so anxious that I wanted to search the whole house. Fortunately, your second sister-in-law was smart and asked the little girl who stayed in your attic, and then she found out that you took them away."

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "Fortunately I brought it with me. The prince also likes persimmons very much!"

The eldest and second sisters-in-law looked at each other and both felt that Prince Yong's love for dogs was just a pretense, and that he actually loved his younger sister-in-law. It seemed that the younger sister-in-law was so favored after only a few days of marriage, so they had to respect her well in the future.
