MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 456 Move quickly
This pacification of the Marquis Mansion has caused her a lot of obstacles, both overtly and covertly.
Not to mention the slaves left behind by the fourth prince's concubine, the concubine Jia sent in to take care of her legitimate son was not easy to deal with.
Beautiful, attentive, gentle and considerate.
After the confrontation in the past few years, she, as the principal concubine, has not gained much benefit. If it weren't for Concubine Ying and Concubine Liu, who had strong family backgrounds and made no mistakes, she would have been the first concubine long ago.
Wei Jialian can even imagine that if the fourth prince really takes over the world, then in the harem, with the current competition between the Dinghou Mansion and their Taiwei Mansion, she may not be able to successfully ascend to the post.
That's why she rushed to conceive again and again, even giving away the loyal maids around her, just to prevent the favor from leaking out and to gain more bargaining chips on her side.
While I was thinking about this, the doctor came over.
Along with the doctor from the government, naturally there was also the fourth prince. I don’t know why, but he came here. Wei Jialian said this half-acting and half-sincerely.
"Why are you here, husband? Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with Wu'er?"
The Wu'er in her mouth was naturally referring to the child left by the fourth prince's concubine to Jia's concubine. He was the eldest son of the fourth prince's family. Speaking of it, he was more noble than the son she gave birth to.
Therefore, she just kept eating the wild dates, and she was a little unhappy about it.
"It's almost done, so I told you to come over and check on you, mother and son. Well, I just walked to the entrance of the hospital and saw the doctor coming over. How are you? You're celebrating the New Year, are you okay?"
Wei Jialian snuggled into the arms of the fourth prince, and then said with tears in her eyes.
“As long as the husband is here, there will naturally be no serious problems with me.”
When the doctor saw this, he was also very embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should come forward to check his pulse. Naturally, the fourth prince had something to say, so he let Wei Jialian rub her in his arms.
“It’s better to let the government doctor take a look first, so that I can feel more at ease.”
"Um."
Wei Jialian was not seriously ill in the first place, but she was overthinking and ate too many jujubes. Therefore, after seeing her, the doctor said everything was normal, but she just needed to control her diet. She could eat sour foods but not be greedy for them.
“Have you remembered everything?”
“Go back to the fourth prince, all the servants have taken note of it.”
“Well, then go down, I’ll stay with my wife here.”
"yes."
As soon as the others left, the fourth prince and Wei Jialian were left in the dormitory. It was a rare close relationship. Compared with Wei Jialian's usefulness, the fourth prince obviously had other agendas.
First he comforted her with a few words, and then got down to business.
“It’s my father-in-law’s birthday in a few days. Madam, have you thought about any gifts?”
"My husband is very thoughtful and has made all the preparations. It is the Taihu stone that my father likes. I picked one with thousands of strange spiritual shapes. It is suitable for birthday celebrations."
Taihu stone is not cheap. The fourth prince had nothing to say about his wife spending so much money, but since money was spent, it had to be spent appropriately, so he continued talking.
“Then we can take our seventh brother over to celebrate. He also has great respect for his father-in-law, and he always says that he needs to make more friends.”
Hearing this, Wei Jialian's eyes also showed something strange.
I'm afraid that the seventh prince is not interested in his father, but in the power in his hands.
Seeing it through without telling it off, anyway, the stronger the power in the family, the more stable her position in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so Wei Jialian responded "Okay" with a smile as usual.
Seeing that his wife was so easy to talk to, the fourth prince naturally showed a more sincere expression. He pulled her and started talking about the children.
"Wu'er's health is not very good, and he needs to take medicine all the time. However, our Zhang'er is still smart and healthy. If he is well cultivated, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."
The fourth prince has not yet been crowned king, so it cannot be said whether he is the prince or not. But if he becomes emperor in one step, then the crown prince position will be the top priority for the two families to compete for.
Hence, when Wei Jialian heard this, she became energetic. The sick air she had just now completely disappeared, and her eyes were full of charming feelings towards the fourth prince.
“I obey my father at home, and my husband when I get married. I just listen to what my husband says.”
She was not in a hurry to express her position, but the look in her eyes was sure to win. The fourth prince was not blind, so he could naturally see it, and this was what he wanted.
Although the Dingping Marquis Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion frequently attacked his back house, irritating him to no end, at such a critical time, naturally neither family could be spared.
The same words he had just said to Concubine Jia once, but the words were changed.
The attitude shown by Concubine Jia was roughly the same as that of Wei Jialian. She wanted to get the throne first, and the rest would be discussed later.
After reaching this consensus, the fourth prince had other ideas in his mind.
The emperor couldn't hold back the news for a long time, so he finally sent it from the imperial concubine to the fourth prince. After thinking about it in the study, he used the pretext of paying homage to his relatives and personally sent the news to Taiwei's Mansion and Dingpinghou Mansion.
Naturally, the Dingping Marquis Mansion expressed its full support for the fourth prince, so it wanted people to give people and money to give money. The only thing was that it did not have the military power to bring it. However, Wei Mingxian of the Taiwei Mansion played into the hands of the fourth prince. .
In a few years, Wei Mingxian had already been promoted from deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Division to Zheng Zheng. Now he was also assisted by the father and son of the fourth prince, Liu Fangfei, Wei Jiaheng. It could be said that he had great power.
With his orders, the entire entry and exit of Sui'an City is under his control. Therefore, if the fourth prince wants to seize power, this current father-in-law can be said to be the key!
Therefore, the atmosphere in the study room of the Taiwei Mansion was also high and cool at the moment, making it difficult to move forward.
"My mother-in-law is well aware of my father's situation. Now that she has sent the news, it's time for us to take action. We have been preparing for so long, why don't we just wait for now? My father-in-law, what do you think?"
Wei Mingxian did not express his position clearly, but looked at his father. Naturally, he was unhappy because the fourth prince was left out, but now was not the time for him to express his position at will, so he had to look at Mrs. Wei. Lieutenant Commander.
A few years later, he still looks as good as ever.
Times seemed to have stopped moving forward on him, and the sharpness in his eyes was not inferior to that of any young person.
"Fourth Prince, please be patient. We still have one more chance. If we take action rashly, do you think the two hundred thousand tiger soldiers outside the city will agree?" (End of Chapter)
