At this point, Yixiu was furious. She slapped the dressing table hard and said through gritted teeth, "Humph! It's obviously because my eldest sister is favored that there has been no movement in the mansion. But there are those nosy people who don't know right from wrong. They always say that we two sisters of the Ulanara family control the backyard, and that no one else in the Fourth Prince's mansion can get pregnant! Do you think I am wronged?"

Seeing that the master was still angry, Jianqiu hurriedly advised: "Please calm down, master, and be careful with your hand. If it turns blue or swollen tomorrow, and the eldest prince knows about it, he will definitely feel sorry for you."

The eldest prince Honghui was Yixiu's weak spot. She calmed down her anger immediately. Thinking of her elder sister's sad face and her increasingly fulfilling life now, she couldn't help laughing.

"My elder sister is the head of the household, and no one has been pregnant in the mansion for more than three years. Now I, the concubine, am in charge of the household affairs, and three of them came at once. Isn't this putting my elder sister on the spot? I really hope that these three can safely give birth to grandchildren and give my elder sister a good slap in the face!"

After removing all her makeup and hairpins, Yixiu walked towards the bed, still talking non-stop, "Tell the kitchen to get some milk tomorrow morning. The eldest prince said two days ago that he wanted to drink milk oatmeal porridge, so he must have it in the next two days."

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

……

Yinzhen has been in a good mood recently, with a slight smile on his face, but outsiders cannot see the changes in his expression. Only those who are familiar with him can see it.

He kept repeating things like "After adversity comes good fortune, the ancients were right!" and "Now I have finally gotten my good fortune after all the hardship!"

Honghui, as a son, had the honor to listen to a few words and agreed with them a few times, and was rewarded every time. Father was so proud that he even smiled at his son!

Father should be happy. He has been married for six or seven years, but he is still the only child. He finally had a legitimate son, but he died when he was just three months old. Now three concubines in the mansion are pregnant, which means there will be at least three grandchildren. But these three grandchildren can't all be little princesses, right? There should be a prince!

Not only did he think so, but his father and mama also thought so. It is said that mama was very happy after hearing the news, and she showed off to her old rivals in the palace for a long time.

A few days ago, Mama gave a lot of things to Aunt Li and Aunt Song, and even my mother received some rewards. The two aunts were rewarded because of their pregnancies, but my mother was praised for being virtuous and sensible, and received a lot of rewards from Mama.

He saw all these things, so he knew them very clearly.

Time flies. After April 25th, the study of "The Book of Songs" is officially coming to an end. In about 20 days, I will be able to learn the entire "Book of Songs", which has a total of 300 poems.

Honghui was getting more and more proficient, but Mr. Dai refused to speed up the progress, saying something like, "The courses for the eldest prince were set by the prince, and I dare not make decisions on my own. How about the eldest prince go and talk to the prince himself? If the prince agrees, then I will definitely do it!"

Mr. Dai had a slight smile on his face when he said this. Was he evaluating whether Ama would agree to his request?

Honghui refused to admit defeat easily, and turned around and said a lot of things to his father.

"Father, Mr. Dai is a great teacher. I just want to learn more, but I don't know..." He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

Yinzhen said earnestly: "Honghui, you are old enough, don't aim too high! You are already much better than ordinary children. If you don't do things within your ability, it will definitely damage your mind." Dai Duo had reported to him in advance that the eldest prince was too diligent and studious, and no amount of persuasion would change him.

"But father, my son doesn't find these lessons difficult to learn, and the court physician always says that my son is in very good health and doesn't even feel ordinary fatigue." Honghui refused to give up and was still making a last-ditch struggle.

Yinzhen said firmly: "No buts. Now is the time to take precautions. It will be too late when you really damage your mind! If you really can't sit still, just go to your fourteenth uncle's house. As for speeding up the courses, don't even think about it!" He would rather let the eldest prince go and make trouble with the fourteenth uncle than lose his smart and sensible eldest son.

Honghui pursed his lips and sighed. Since his father was so sure, he would basically have to study according to this schedule for the next two years. It would be completely impossible to speed up!

Was Ama too worried? It seemed that after his second brother died, Ama's attitude changed. Not only did he worry about his health all the time, but for a while he even asked Mr. Dai to reduce his schoolwork. Later, he returned to normal only after he begged him for help.

"A strict father produces a filial son, a loving mother often spoils her son, and spoiling a child is like killing him! Father, you still can't bear it! From now on, my eldest brother will watch over my younger brothers when they study and practice martial arts. I absolutely cannot let them get away with it. I will not stop until my sons have become seven or eight pillars of society!"

Seeing his eldest son's overflowing excitement, Yinzhen couldn't help but twitch his lips. Seven or eight pillars of society? It's good enough for him to have seven or eight sons! How could every son be so talented? He couldn't be as blessed as the emperor!

"As long as you are happy! Just be careful, not everyone is as smart as you."

How could Honghui not know? Take the third brother for example. He is the dumbest. He is already fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has not learned even half of the Four Books and Five Classics. He can forget a book even after reciting it a hundred and twenty times. To say that he is mediocre in talent is already praising him.

The road ahead is long and difficult, but if you keep going you will reach your destination; if you do it you will succeed!

"Don't worry, my son will not be afraid of difficulties or obstacles. No matter how stupid my brother is, I will educate him to be a useful person, so that he can share your worries in the future."

Dull? Yinzhen felt that although he was not as smart as his second and third brothers, he was not unenlightened. How could his son be a dull person?

No, not necessarily! What if the child in Li's belly inherits Li's brain?

Yinzhen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. It would be best if Li gave birth to a little princess, so that even if she was not very smart, it would not be a problem. The only thing he was afraid of was that she was carrying a prince, and a dull one at that!

Forget it, if the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth! He already has such a smart eldest brother to take over the family, so he doesn't care whether these sons are smart or not. If they are really mediocre in talent, it's no big deal. After all, he is still the fourth prince, and he can still afford to raise his own children.

Thinking of this, he calmly looked at the eldest brother who was still standing there excitedly, and had the idea of ​​watching a good show in his heart, "Honghui, father will leave all your brothers to you to discipline, you must 'well' fulfill your responsibilities as the eldest son!"

Since you are such a worrier, why not worry more about it!
