My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The fourth day of October.

The north wind was blowing in Sui'an City, and the streets seemed a little desolate and cold.

People who have nothing to do will naturally not go out, but people who are looking for a living still have to move forward in this howling wind.

He changed from summer clothes to cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold in winter, pushed the stall he used to survive, and headed towards the canal little by little.

In the past few days, the streets and alleys in Sui'an City have lost many pedestrians due to the sudden cold weather, so the business has naturally dropped a lot, because the owner of the wonton stall heard that there was a lot of excitement over the canal, so he planned to Go try your luck.

A few days ago, the fourth prince was ordered by the emperor to supervise the shipping and unloading of goods. Therefore, there were twice as many officers and soldiers inspecting the ship. When the officials came, the common people naturally watched the excitement, so it was a bustling place on weekdays. The crowds at the pier became more and more lively.

By the time the owner of the wonton stall arrived, it was obvious that most of the good seats here had been taken up. They mainly sold cheap food, including those selling pancakes, baked potatoes, and spicy soup.

Pedestrians passing by in a hurry wrapped their bodies tightly in cotton clothes and hid their hands in their sleeves for fear of getting cold if exposed.

Compared with the nobles and nobles who enjoy the warmth of the winter comfortably in the big houses, these lower-class people can ignore the cold for the sake of the three cents to survive.

There is a restaurant next to the pier called Qingfeng Restaurant, which is the best restaurant in the area.

And now it is completely occupied by the fourth prince, because living here, you can monitor everything by pushing the window, and you don't have to suffer from the cold wind, and you don't have to run back and forth, which is convenient and safe.

After standing quietly in front of the window for a while and feeling that everything was normal, the fourth prince asked someone to close the window, walked to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, poured a cup of tea for the seventh prince opposite, and then spoke.

Why are you here?

Fourth brother also said that I went to the palace today to visit my mother-in-law. She said that she hasn't seen you for several days, so brother, I came here to tell you that I still have to go to the palace to have a look at a suitable time.

Compared to the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince visited his concubine non-stop, and would go there every three to five days. Naturally, he was much more concerned than the Fourth Prince who only visited once every ten and a half months.

The fourth prince's expression did not change. Now that his house was in a mess, he could not think of visiting his mother and concubine, but he still had a few words to say.

I understand. After I finish my work here, I will go into the palace to see my mother and concubine.

He said it in an understatement. After the Seventh Prince noticed some of his unhappy emotions, he thought he felt that what he was doing here was boring, so he said again.

Fourth brother, why is this necessary? Just ask two capable people to guard here. Why don't you go back to your home to stay.

The fourth prince naturally had a reason to stay here, so after hearing this, he replied disapprovingly.

You, you are short-sighted in looking at the problem. Since we want to intervene in the river and sea transportation, we naturally have to show it to our father, so that we can ask for orders in the future to do it. Otherwise, we have to let the East Palace snatch such a big piece of fat. How can we do it? Not stupid?

Donggong still wants to rob? The prince has been scolded by the father twice in the past few days. Anyone with a discerning eye can't see that the fourth brother is now the popular person in front of the father! Even if there is an errand, he will definitely do it for you. Fourth brother, relax.

A few days ago, they thought that their father might be sleeping forever, so the Seventh Prince and the others were worried that the outcome would be Emperor Bintian before the outcome was finalized. Wouldn't their calculations be in vain?

So he asked the Zhao family to send some more powerful medicine. After taking it in the past few months, his father seemed to be much more energetic, so he naturally liked people from their group.

Just because he was proud didn't mean that the fourth prince couldn't see the situation clearly.

Don't take it lightly. The prince's status in the court will not change just because of a few words of rebuke. Don't forget, he persuaded his father to send 50,000 tiger soldiers to stay by his side. Ding Youzhi expected How many people can get such honor?

The Seventh Prince took a sip of tea in annoyance, and then cursed a few times, but the scolding continued, and when he got angry, he talked about other things.

I haven't congratulated my fourth brother properly yet. This time I got a son. Not to mention that this fourth sister-in-law is really from a prosperous family. It has been more than a year since she married into your house. Not only did she give birth to a brother, but the maids around her also If I can give you a brother, in the future, among us brothers and sisters, I am afraid that the fourth brother will have the most sons.

The prince is several years older than them all, so it is normal to have more children.

And for some reason, the Fourth Prince's Palace has all the grandsons born one after another. It's full of calculations. Except for Wei Jialian, who is pregnant again, there are now four or five boys, and the imperial doctor in the palace also gave birth to the fourth prince's concubine Wei Jialian. After taking the pulse, it was said that the fetus was still a boy in all likelihood.

That's why the seventh prince said this.

He originally thought that the fourth brother who had gained a son would be happy to hear such words, but the fourth prince's face showed an impatient expression, and he complained to the seventh prince.

How did you know that I was in trouble? I was happy that your fourth sister-in-law had given birth to a son, but the Dingping Marquis Mansion was not happy and hurriedly sent two more good concubines to the backyard. When your fourth sister-in-law saw this, she did not hesitate to give in. I picked two of the best maids and sent them to the study to serve me. Even though I am greedy, I can't bear to do this.

No wonder you took this opportunity to run out. Are there too many warblers in the backyard that you can't stand anymore?

The fourth prince didn't care at all about the seventh prince's teasing.

In the past, he also had concubines and concubines, but there were only a few of them, and they could still take care of them. But now, the Dingping Marquis Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact, his princess and his ex-mother-in-law are fighting. It's awesome.

You make a move, I'll shoot back.

Although no one was killed, he was upset as soon as he returned home. Today he is not here to cry, and tomorrow he is the one to make trouble. Sometimes, he can't even have a stable meal, so he might as well be here People feel more comfortable living in this restaurant.

Seeing that the fourth prince did not speak, the seventh prince also came closer and comforted him.

There are only a dozen of them. By the time Fourth Brother is firmly established, there will be three thousand beauties in the harem. Is it possible that you also want to avoid them?

Can it be the same? If you want to get into that position, you can't offend either the Taiwei Mansion or the Dingping Marquis Mansion, but it's really annoying to please both of them!

Now he is really looking forward to the day when he takes control of the power. At that time, he will clear out all these people to save one or two people who want to take his ideas.
