Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Seeing that the prince had made up his mind, everyone stopped trying to comfort him.

They all left, and only Duke Jiang and Marquis Wu'an looked at each other, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

The prince naturally saw the unfinished words of the two, but he also had his own thoughts.

He never expected that the Zhang family would actually want to take what was already in his pocket.

Although Concubine Zhang was not favored, the power of the Zhang family should not be underestimated. He underestimated his fourth brother.

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Duke Zhang had just come out of the Fourth Prince's study when he saw his daughter.

Seeing that his daughter was fine, he nodded with satisfaction, told her to come home for dinner the next day, and then left contentedly with his eldest son and the younger generations of the Zhang family.

Zhang Wenrui didn't like the affairs of the court. He looked at his father's receding back without saying much.

I just feel a little bit reluctant, but there's nothing I can do.

She turned around and signaled the maid behind her to knock on the door, while she held the soup. The moment the Fourth Prince's study was opened, Zhang Wenrui put on a gentle smile: "Husband, you have worked hard. I brought some soup for you."

The man’s luxurious brocade robe, every stitch and every thread reveals the craftsman’s exquisite craftsmanship.

She wore a jade belt inlaid with gems around her waist, and her every move revealed an innate elegance and grace.

There was a heroic look between the man's brows. Zhang Wenrui couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Thinking of the tenderness between the two of them during these days, her ears still blushed.

Although her and the Fourth Prince's marriage was arranged by the Emperor, they lived in harmony and treated each other as equals after marriage.

No matter how chaotic the situation is outside the mansion, their lives are as sweet as honey.

Especially when the Crown Prince’s Mansion and the First Prince’s Mansion were in a mess.

"For this kind of thing, you can just ask the servants to bring it over. Why did you come here in person?" When Helian Ming saw that it was Zhang Wenrui who came in person, he hurried forward, took the soup from Zhang Wenrui's hand, and placed it on the desk in the study.

Then he turned around and took the person into the study.

The palace servants around him had already retreated to other places.

This is also a habit I have developed during these days.

"Husband, I..." Although she had someone she loved when she was young, her mother told her before she got married.

After getting married, all the previous things have become a thing of the past, and now seem normal.

With a husband who loves her, the love of her aunt, and the support of the Duke's Mansion, her life in the future, as her mother said, will be smoother than that of her aunt.

"What's the matter?" Helian Ming had never seen his new wife so shy since their wedding.

The curve of the mouth corners reveals the owner's good mood.

"Doctor Zhang said that I have been pregnant for almost a month..." Zhang Wenrui lowered her head after saying this.

Helian Ming was stunned for a moment, and the joy in his eyes became even greater: "Did you tell your father-in-law about this good news just now?"

Zhang Wenrui looked up shyly, her face full of surprise.

Helian Ming realized that he was being abrupt and quickly explained, "If father-in-law knew our good news, he would definitely have a few more bowls of rice with mother-in-law when he went back tonight. Well, now that you are pregnant, you should come to the front yard less often. Every day after I leave the court, I will go to the back yard to see how you are and have lunch with you. You should not get pregnant if you run back and forth like this."

After hearing Helian Ming's next words, Zhang Wenrui went from confusion to shock, and then to sweetness.

The two of them had dinner together, and after washing up, they went straight to bed in their own rooms.

The look she gave Helian Ming was filled with not only lingering affection, "Well, I know, but I have to go back to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to tell my mother and grandmother the good news. My father also said that my eldest brother will be back tomorrow, so he asked me to go back for dinner."

Facing the Fourth Prince's concerned gaze, Zhang Wenrui lowered her head again.

I didn’t see the fleeting gleam in the fourth prince’s eyes.

"Well, I will accompany you back to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, okay? It just so happens that I haven't greeted my grandmother and mother for many days. My second brother is engaged, and I haven't congratulated him in person yet. He is about to marry a beautiful woman." Under Zhang Wenrui's inquiring eyes, Helian Ming smiled even more: "I hope that tomorrow morning, when I go to court, Madam, please help me choose a gift for my second brother!"

When Zhang Wenrui heard that it was a gift for her second brother, she smiled knowingly.

The couple chatted for a while, and then Zhang Wenrui took the palace maids back to the backyard.

In contrast to Zhang Wenrui's happy life, He Man'er was sitting in her yard with a big belly, sulking.

"Girl, you should have some lunch. Even if you are not hungry, the little grandson in your belly also needs to eat, right?" Xiuzhu looked at her girl worriedly. When her eyes fell on He Maner's belly, she became even more anxious.

He persuaded her again, "Miss, the eldest prince has been a little busy recently, and he has not neglected you. If you do this, won't the Song family in the next courtyard be even more proud? You are pregnant with the eldest prince's only child, so you can't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you will have no one to rely on in the future."

Xiuzhu felt that she had said everything she could, but seeing that her girl remained unmoved, the blisters on her mouth became even more painful.

The wet nurse next to her was also anxious, but the girl had grown up.

She was getting further and further away from herself. Although she was brought here as a dowry by the lady, she was not as popular as Xiuzhu in front of the girl.

"Miss, Xiuzhu is right. If the madam and the master knew about your behavior, they would be so sad. The madam and the master can't do anything about it. After all, the queen is in a difficult situation. Although Concubine Zhang has no biological prince, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zhang is now married to the fourth prince, and the queen has to be on guard. The emperor's health is also getting worse, and the queen still has to keep the prince's position. The prince has been repeatedly reprimanded by the emperor these days, and the queen is exhausted. You should not blame the master and the madam. The queen and the prince are tied together with the entire Marquis of Wu'an. Only when the Marquis of Wu'an is well, you can be well too, right?" The wet nurse received Xiuzhu's look and tried to persuade her.

"Hmph!" After a long while, He Man'er snorted coldly, "Being punished by the Emperor is also Helian Yan's own fault. He didn't want Xinrou, but insisted on taking Su Xinya into the mansion. She is just the daughter of a poor family. How can she compare with Xinrou? Haha, let them fight each other now. Are my father, mother and grandmother really not angry with me? Why were all the invitations I sent to the Marquis' Mansion rejected?"

"Oh, young lady, you have only been in the eldest prince's mansion for a few months. How could they accept your invitation so quickly to reassure the queen and the prince? Besides, the madam even asked the maid to send clothes, shoes and a gold necklace to your little grandson in your belly. It is obvious that the mansion is just a delaying tactic. It will be fine after the prince ascends to a high position. Young lady, you have to be patient for now!"

Seeing their master speaking, the wet nurse and Xiuzhu both breathed a sigh of relief.

They took the opportunity to persuade her to eat something, and they left quietly until He Maner took a nap.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw the little maid running in hurriedly from outside.
