Chapter 2103 Talk about Reason
The Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment and said, "The memorial with my name on it has been sent to the Ministry of Rites by Khan Ama. If Li is given the title of concubine, I plan to ask for grace from the Emperor to allow the Second Prince and the Third Prince to study in the palace together. If Khan Ama does not allow it, I will send the Third Prince to the palace."
The Fourth Lady: “…”
This is such a pleasant surprise.
The Fourth Lady was open-minded. She already had two legitimate sons, so it wouldn't matter if the Second Prince, her illegitimate son, became a concubine's son.
Not to mention that because Li was selfish, she was pregnant a month later than the Fourth Lady, but the Second Prince was born earlier than the Third Prince.
The second prince was born prematurely and his body was obviously not as strong as the full-term third prince.
Even though he passed the vaccination test, the Second Prince was still weak and it was unknown how he would fare in the future.
The Fourth Prince felt relieved when he saw the joy on the Fourth Lady's face.
The Fourth Lady has always been like this. She knows the general situation and is not so narrow-minded and intolerant.
The Fourth Prince was once again thankful that he had a wife like Nara.
To the mistress of the house, illegitimate sons and daughters are both eye-catching and heartbreaking, but to her, legitimate and illegitimate children are all the same flesh and blood.
If the Fourth Lady is jealous and treats the concubines' sons and daughters badly, the Fourth Prince will suffer the most.
After being married for more than ten years, Mrs. Si noticed the mood changes of the Fourth Prince and felt very strange.
The second prince was sent to the palace, but he was just like everyone else. He was not as good as his legitimate cousins, nor as good as his two illegitimate eldest sons of the Fifth Beile Mansion and the Seventh Beile Mansion. He had the lowest status among the emperor's grandchildren.
On the contrary, if he stayed in the Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince would probably be more sympathetic to this illegitimate son and teach him personally. Over time, the relationship between father and son would deepen.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Lady said sincerely, "The most important thing is to open up the mind. The people in the Upper Study Room are all veteran scholars from the Hanlin Academy. How can they be compared with the candidates from outside? As for what will happen to other prefectures if they know about this, we can't worry about it for now. Don't delay the Second Prince's studies."
The Fourth Prince nodded and said, "My Lord thinks so too. Nowadays, the examination for the title of a royal family member is becoming stricter every year. I can't be the grandson of the Emperor and end up being a Feng En General."
The Fourth Lady said, "Then ask someone to renovate the west courtyard. The courtyard where Li originally lived is too small, so expand the courtyard at the back as well."
The wife of a Beile's concubine had a lower rank of formal attire than that of a Beile's wife, and was equal to that of a Beizi's wife.
Not only did the living quarters need to be rebuilt, but carriages, ceremonial robes, and court robes also had to be prepared.
Thinking of this, the Fourth Lady felt a little sour in her heart.
The difference between the court crowns of Lady Beile and Lady Beizi is that the former has seven pieces of eastern pearls and six pieces of golden peacocks, while the latter has six pieces of eastern pearls and six pieces of golden peacocks. The difference is almost the same.
Fortunately, the imperial court now advocates ethical ethics and clearly distinguishes between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Children born to concubines are no longer considered legitimate as before.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would own the title of Beile.
The Fourth Prince shook his head and said, "There's no rush. We can change it after the clan government gives us the title."
Just now in front of the emperor, his father stopped him twice.
Although he did not change his mind and still planned to ask for a title for Li, he did not want to go too far and decided to follow the order of seniority...
After lunch, the Fourth Prince went back to Changchun Garden to be on duty.
Today it is the Ministry of Revenue's turn to be on duty.
Here, the Fourth Lady continued to embroider the Five Poisons purse, but she was thinking about the Third Lady's recent success.
It seems that the grace for Hong Sheng to enter the palace has been granted.
Otherwise, the Fourth Prince would not have had this idea.
The Fourth Prince thinks a lot and acts very cautiously. If no one takes the lead, he would not think of asking for mercy to send other sons to the palace to study.
It was this invitation to Lady Feng that was somewhat surprising.
After all, the concubines of the Fifth and Eighth Beile's Mansions are as respectable.
As for the kids reading…
It's rare that the Third Lady is considerate of his feelings and is not in a hurry to show off this matter.
I can't help but think about it.
After a while, there was a noise outside and the Third Lady arrived.
When the Fourth Lady heard the news, she hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him.
The Third Lady did not rush into the house. She pointed to the west and asked, "Why do you seem to be cleaning up the Fifth House?"
After getting the news, she couldn't wait to ask.
Nowadays, every family has their own yard to live in, but it is not very comfortable.
The Fourth Lady said, "Our master has borrowed it from Uncle Twelve for a few days, and the Second Lady will set up a stage there to entertain guests later."
The Third Lady didn't expect this to be the reason, and immediately lost interest, saying, "I thought it was your lady Li who was coming over..."
The Fourth Lady invited people into the house and said, "The mansion also needs someone to look after it."
The Third Lady glanced at the Fourth Lady and said, "Hey, it hasn't been easy for you over the years."
The Fourth Lady lowered her head and drank tea, not wanting to talk about these matters in the inner chamber.
Every family lives their own life, there is nothing to complain about.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the Third Lady changed the subject and said, "When is the date for the banquet? There's a new roast goose shop in Haidian Town. The taste is good. I'll ask someone to buy two for my nieces."
The fourth lady said, "Eighteen, it's just right for a banquet."
The Third Lady couldn't help but laugh and said, "The children are playing house in a very realistic way..."

North Garden, Queen Mother's Palace.
Niguzhu's eyebrows were drooping, and he held the Queen Mother's hand and said pitifully: "Mother Wuku, my second brother doesn't blame me, why does my mother still blame me?"
The Queen Mother also heard from Hazel about Shushu's punishment of Niguzhu and suspended her classes.
The Queen Mother said, "It's hard to attend classes every day, so it's a good time to take a few days off."
Niguzhu looked unhappy and said, "But I still have to teach Sister Hailan how to speak, and I have to watch Sister Tana count..."
The Queen Mother said, "You are the younger sister, and they are the older sisters. You can't always take care of them. Let's take a few days off. Mother Wuku will ask someone to roast some sparrows for you."
Niguzhu was a little anxious and asked, "What should I do if I miss my elder brother and second brother? And my little brother?"
The Queen Mother hugged her and said, "Then why do you think your father was angry?"
Niguzhu pursed his lips and said after a while: "I got angry with my second brother and knocked over his building blocks."
The Queen Mother looked down at her, her eyes full of patience and kindness: "So you know you were wrong, and you apologized to your second brother, right?"
Niguzhu shook her head. She was still angry and cried and complained to her father.
The Queen Mother touched her and said, "Go ahead and apologize to your second brother and tell him that you won't do it again. Then your father won't be angry with you anymore."
Niguzhu lay on the queen mother's knees and said, "But I am younger, shouldn't the second brother give in to me? I usually give in to my younger brother."
The Queen Mother said, "Your younger brother is much younger than you and still doesn't know much, so just give way to him. Your elder and second brothers are the same age as you, so you should still be reasonable."
"All right……"
Niguzhu understood that even his greatest backer was not on his side.
She looked up and said, "My father and Enie both listen to Mother Wuku. Doesn't Mother Wuku want to favor me?"
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "Mother Wuku must also be reasonable. A reasonable child is a good child, and a reasonable old lady is a good old lady."
Niguzhu nodded and said, "Then I will be a good child and go apologize to my second brother. I want to go to school with my brothers and sisters. The Monkey King is about to fight the White Bone Demon, and my fifth uncle wants to take everyone to the horse farm to see tigers..."
The Queen Mother encouraged her, "Good boy, then go there before dinner so as not to delay your class tomorrow morning."
Thinking of the look in Ene's eyes at noon, Niguzhu felt a little timid and said, "Will Ene be angry? He will think that I am disobedient. How about I take the punishment for a day and go over to apologize tomorrow?"
Seeing her intelligence, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, be a good boy tomorrow and let the maid help you recite your lessons. Don't delay your studies. Go over there tomorrow afternoon and make an apology..."
"Uh-huh……"
Niguzhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward to tomorrow coming sooner.

The fifth building in the north is the main house.
The Ninth Prince was struggling, and looked at Shushu and said, "Did you really suspend Niguzhu's classes? The punishment is too harsh, it's not a big deal."
Shushu had asked carefully and did not think Niguzhu was wronged.
"He's becoming more and more domineering. If you don't discipline him, he'll go crazy. He's already taken action today and is just about to attack Akdan." Shu Shu said.
The reason why she warned twice before was because there were some signs.
That was when she was living with her two cousins. Although Niguzhu was the youngest, she was used to making decisions and didn't know how to be humble.
In other words, Tana is soft-hearted and Hailan is slow to react, otherwise the two sisters would have fought long ago.
Hongxuan is young and habitually hangs around Fengsheng and Akdan. He doesn't play with Niguzhu much, so it's hard to tell.
In Fengsheng and Akdan's place, Niguzhu usually doesn't bother with him, but he becomes a little too demanding.
The Ninth Prince was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Fengsheng knows to give in to his sister, but Akdan is too stubborn. Otherwise, the two siblings can't fight each other."
Shu Shu couldn't help but pinch the Ninth Prince's waist and said, "Master is biased again. If they were siblings of the same age, it would be fine. The older one would understand the truth first and give way to the younger one. But now that they are born, the older one must give way to the younger one. How aggrieved the older one is..."
Fengsheng is so sensible that it makes people feel sorry for him.
However, given his status, he will have great responsibilities in the future and will have to behave like the eldest son or brother.
In Akdan, there is really no need to give in to Niguzhu all the time, especially when Niguzhu is unreasonable.
The Ninth Prince said: "The Empress Dowager should be distressed..."
Shu Shu said: "The Imperial Grandmother knows this well. Good children need to be carefully managed and not spoiled all the time..."
