The fourth girl, Xie Qi, was sitting aside, playing with her handkerchief in boredom. When the fourth wife saw her, she said, "If you don't want to accompany me, just go back and read and paint."
Xie Qi shook her head like a rattle, "I will accompany you."
Sitting in the house all day long, either reading or painting, almost drove her crazy.
What she dislikes the most is summer. If she can't leave the house, it's like being grounded.
The fourth wife was cutting flower branches while looking at her daughter. Why didn't she want to go out? As her daughter got older and reached the age where she should be married, people used to ask about her. Since the incident with the third girl, no one has expressed to her that they want to marry her.
The fourth wife was worried about what her daughter meant.
If she lowers her head to marry a wife and raises her head to marry a daughter, she must not fall in love with some young master from aristocratic family and want to marry her daughter to others. Such initiative should not be looked down upon.
She was feeling worried when suddenly, she was startled by the sound of a tea cup being smashed.
She looked up and saw a maid in a goose-yellow dress walking in quickly. She blushed and said, "Madam is very happy, the master has been promoted."
The fourth wife was startled at first, then she was ecstatic and asked in disbelief, "How come you got promoted?"
The maid hurriedly replied, "The prince promoted me to an official position. The father-in-law who came from the palace to announce the good news said that King Zhao has fallen. The emperor demoted two of King Zhao's accomplices and promoted two to others, leaving four positions vacant. The prince
Just with the emperor
I recommended the master, and then the master was promoted to a higher level. The father-in-law told me what the official position was. I was so happy that I was too stupid to remember it. I only knew that the job was good and had real power. Manager Zhao gave the good news to the father-in-law ten taels of silver."
It is not an easy job to become a fourth-level master and become a fifth-level official. It would be great to be promoted to a higher level. If you have real power, it would be an unexpected surprise.
The fourth wife never dreamed that the prince would help the fourth master get promoted. After all, the prince did not even help the third master, and the old lady’s pressure on the prince was ineffective. Unexpectedly, the fourth wife did not ask the prince, so the prince took the initiative to help.
The fourth wife felt that going to Tianxiangyuan every day to talk to the princess to relieve her boredom was really in vain. The prince saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He just said a word to them, which was more effective than giving away eight thousand taels.
The fourth wife was very happy, and Xie Qi was also happy. She said, "My mother used to support Princess Nankang every day, and my eldest uncle didn't help my father. Now you just talk to my eldest aunt, and he helps me. My eldest uncle likes it the most."
Is she the eldest aunt?"
Xie Qi didn't say anything. The fourth wife hadn't thought of this yet. She said, "What you said is true."
The prince and the princess often quarrel, and I don’t know when they will get over it. It’s so good that when the princess slaps the prince, he doesn’t even get angry.
If she had known earlier that the princess was the prince's favorite, she would have been attracted to the princess long ago. There was no need to flatter Princess Nankang against her will. In the end, she gained nothing and was still angry.
The fourth wife is happy here, but Princess Nankang is not happy in the Buddhist hall over there.
Princess Nankang was angry that the prince not only refused to help King Zhao, but also helped the fourth master to steal the official position of King Zhao's confidant. She was very angry.
The old lady is even more angry than Princess Nankang.
She thought that the prince was afraid that others would say that he was nepotistic, so he asked him several times to help the third master get promoted, but the prince refused, forcing the third master to find someone else. He gave away an unknown amount of money, but Song Guogong helped him get promoted. As a result,
Because Xie Boting made his own decisions and took back his wife and his illegitimate son, he was demoted two ranks even though he was finally promoted.
The prince refused to help the third master to avoid suspicion, so the old lady let it go. But now that he is helping the fourth master, he still refuses to let her return to Songhe Hall. The old lady only feels cold and chilled to the bone.
When the prince and the fourth master returned home, they heard that the old lady fell ill again.
Both the prince and the fourth master knew why the old lady fell ill this time. The old lady was just expressing her anger in this way.
However, the old lady's health has not improved since she entered the Buddhist hall. Her falling ill again will not affect the joy of the fourth master's promotion, nor will it affect Su Tang's congratulations to the fourth master.
Of course, with Su Tang's current status, there was no need to go to the West Courtyard to congratulate him in person. Xu's mother prepared the congratulatory gifts, and Su Tang asked Fuling to deliver them. This chapter has been completed!
