The fourth prince strode in, saying as he walked, "Who said our eldest prince is ugly?"

The second princess rushed over happily: "Ama!"

The Fourth Prince picked her up, walked to Shen Jiang's bedside, and said with a smile: "Is there any mother like you? You say your own son is ugly!"

Shen Jiang curled her lips: "When he was just born, it was really... well... hard to describe!"

The Fourth Prince glared at her and said, "How can a newborn baby be so good-looking? It has grown up in three days! I think the eldest prince looks a lot like Fu Jin. Fu Jin, tell me again, is the eldest prince ugly?"

He gave Shen Jiang a chance to reorganize his words. Shen Jiang looked at the other people in the room in confusion and asked, "Brother, do you look like me?"

Pomegranate and the others all smiled. Madam Kong said with a smile: "Madam, the eldest prince looks very much like you when you were just born!" She was Madam's wet nurse and had the most say.

Shen Jiang took a breath and said slowly: "Is that so? Then my son is not ugly at all! Absolutely not ugly! Not only is he not ugly, he is also very handsome! He is the most handsome in the entire prince's residence!"

The Fourth Prince laughed out loud after hearing this and thought that his wife was so interesting.

Although he didn't sleep in Fu Jin's courtyard these days, he didn't go to find other princesses, but slept alone in the front yard. No matter what, Fu Jin gave birth to a prince for him, and he couldn't let Fu Jin be sad at this time.

Shen Jiang rested for a few days and felt that her body was slowly recovering. She walked around as usual and ate and drank as usual. At first, Jingqi's mother would remind her what she could and could not do, but she shut up after being scolded by her.

"It was really not easy to have confinement after childbirth in ancient times!" Shen Jiang complained to the system.

System: “That’s right!”

Shen Jiang: "Fortunately, I am a concubine. I have the power in my hands and can make these people listen to me. If I were unlucky and was a concubine, I would be annoyed to death by these maids!"

The system didn't dare to respond, because not every mission is the first wife. If she is the concubine in the next plane, you can imagine how angry the host will be.

After Shen Jiang dealt with his own affairs, he asked about Li.

The system told her that Li was still lying down, and she would probably have to stay like this for the entire pregnancy.

Shen Jiang sighed: "It's really not easy to give birth to a child!"

System: "So maternal love is great."

Shen Jiang sneered and said, "Don't sing praises to me about this kind of suffering. If I could choose, I would rather not have this greatness!"

The system was so scared that it shut up. The emotions of pregnant women are so changeable. They are sentimental one second and furious the next. But it’s not their fault. It’s all because of estrogen and progesterone.

Everything else is easy during the confinement period, except one thing: you can’t go out.

No matter what Shen Jiang said, even if she got angry, it was useless. The maids and a group of palace maids all knelt on the ground to try to stop her. If they couldn't stop her anymore, they would ask the Fourth Prince for help.

The Fourth Prince kindly assured Shen Jiang: "You are still in confinement, you can't go out and get exposed to the wind. Just bear with it, it will be fine after the confinement is over, be good!"

Shen Jiang boasts that she has power as the legitimate wife, but the Fourth Prince has more power than her, so she must listen to him.

Shen Jiang had no choice but to endure it for a month.

After being stuck in the house for a month, Shen Jiang can finally go out!

She changed into bright clothes, tied her hair up, put on hairpins, and breathed fresh air in the yard.

It was exactly the end of April, a season that was neither too cold nor too hot, with good sunshine, good air, and everything was good.

Today is the baby’s full-month banquet. The Third and Fifth Concubines have both come, and Concubine De has also sent people. Even Emperor Kangxi has given rewards.

Shen Jiang held the child in front of everyone. After a month, the baby's face had lost its vernix caseosa, and his head had returned to a round little shape. He looked even more handsome.

"The little prince is so handsome, even better than our eldest prince." Although she was reluctant to admit it, the Third Lady still spoke her true feelings.

The Fifth Lady lost interest after just one look. The princess in her courtyard had just given birth to a prince, but she didn't even look at him.

Shen Jiang smiled and said, "It is indeed prettier than when it was just born."

The Third Lady started talking: "How can a newborn baby be good-looking? You don't know how our eldest prince looked like a monkey when he was just born..."

The Third Lady and Shen Jiang had a pleasant conversation, while the Fifth Lady sat down silently and ate snacks out of boredom.

At the end of the day, Shen Jiang's cheeks were a little sore from smiling.

Fortunately, the child was very considerate and hardly cried. If he was hungry or had a bowel movement, the system would remind him in advance and Shen Jiang would ask the wet nurse to take the child away.

The Third Lady was very supportive and praised the child for being sensible and Shen Jiang for being able to take care of the child.

The Fifth Lady sneered, "My Fourth Sister-in-law raised the Second Princess before, so this is a piece of cake for her!"

Sanfujin: ...

If you can't speak, just shut up!

Shen Jiang: ...

I can’t chat any more, forget it, let’s go home!

The Fifth Lady seemed to suddenly become excited and asked again, "I heard that Li Gege from your courtyard is also pregnant. I wonder if she will give the child to Fourth Sister-in-law. Fourth Sister-in-law is so good at taking care of children, so it won't be a problem for her to take care of another one, right?"

Shen Jiang asked her back: "Didn't the princess in your fifth brother's wife's courtyard just give birth to a child? Will your fifth brother let your fifth brother's wife raise the child?"

She asked the Fifth Prince in a very "bad" way whether he would let the Fifth Lady raise the child to see how the Fifth Lady would answer.

The Fifth Lady did not play by the rules at all and said coldly: "Why should I help that bitch raise a child!"

It is unclear whether this "bitch" was scolding the Fifth Prince or the princesses around him.

Shen Jiang was convinced, you are the king, you are the best in the world.

The Third Lady is almost driven crazy by the Fifth Lady. She is asking for trouble herself, so don't drag her sisters-in-law into this!

"Fourth brother's wife, it's getting late today. Our eldest prince will definitely cry if he can't see me. I'm leaving now!" The third lady left in a hurry.

The Fifth Lady left soon after. Shen Jiang pinched her cheeks and sighed.

She was still in a daze when the Fourth Prince came in.

The Fourth Prince put his hand on her shoulder and asked with a smile, "What? Are you unhappy?"

Shen Jiang talked about the Fifth Lady and said, "I really don't know whether this temper is good or bad."

The Fourth Prince snorted, "No one can stand this temper, let alone the Fifth Prince."

In fact, everyone knows the Fifth Lady’s temper. In the past, some people advised her to change, but now no one advises her anymore because she simply won’t change.

Live your life to the fullest.

Anyway, the royal prince will never divorce his wife. As long as she is not dead, she will always be the Fifth Concubine!

Shen Jiang accidentally said what was in her heart: "Sometimes, I envy her."

The Fourth Prince glared at her: "Don't you dare imitate her!"

It's already enough to have such a weirdo in the prince's office, and another one? The Fourth Prince will go crazy!

Thinking about his former wife, the Fourth Prince embraced Shen Jiang and said, "You are doing well now. Don't imitate someone you don't have anything to do with."

"Yeah," Shen Jiang leaned in his arms and responded absentmindedly.

She remembered what the Fifth Lady had said. After Li gave birth to this baby, would the Fourth Prince continue to let her raise the child?
