Chapter 456: Hurry Up

This Pingding Marquis Mansion has set up many obstacles for her, both openly and secretly.

Not to mention the servants left by the Fourth Prince's wife, the Concubine Jia who was sent in to take care of her legitimate son is not easy to deal with.

She is beautiful, thoughtful, gentle and considerate.

After the confrontation in the past few years, she, as the main wife, has not gained much benefit. If it were not for the strong family background of Concubine Ying and Concubine Liu, and they did not make any mistakes, I am afraid she would have been the leader of the concubines.

Wei Jialian could even imagine that if the Fourth Prince really won the world, then in the harem, with the current confrontation between the Pingding Marquis Mansion and their Taiwei Mansion, she might not be able to ascend to the throne smoothly.

Therefore, she would rush to get pregnant again and again, and even send her loyal maids around her, just to prevent the leakage of favors and give herself more bargaining chips.

Just thinking about these in her heart, the palace doctor came over.

Along with the court doctor, the Fourth Prince also came. It was unknown why he came over. Wei Jialian said half in a pretentious and half sincere way.

"Why did my husband come over? Didn't he say he would accompany Wu'er to dine?"

The Wu'er she was referring to was the child that the Fourth Prince's wife left for Concubine Jia. He was the legitimate eldest son of the Fourth Prince's family. In theory, he was more noble than her son.

Therefore, she was a little unhappy about eating the sour dates just now.

"It's almost done. I said I would come to see you and your son. Look, I just walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw the court doctor coming over. How are you? It's New Year's Day. Are you okay?"

Wei Jialian snuggled into the Fourth Prince's arms and then said with tears and sobs.

"As long as my husband is here, I'm fine."

The court doctor was in a dilemma when he saw this. He didn't know whether he should come forward to take her pulse and ask questions. The fourth prince also had something to say, so he let Wei Jialian rub against him.

"Let the court doctor take a look first, so I can feel more at ease."

"Yes."

Wei Jialian was fine to begin with. She was just overthinking and ate too many sour dates. So the court doctor said everything was normal after seeing her. She just had to control her diet. She could eat sour food, but not too much.

"Have you remembered everything?"

"Reply to the fourth prince, we have remembered everything."

"Well, then go down. I'll stay here with my wife."

"Yes."

After everyone left, the fourth prince and Wei Jialian were the only ones left in the bedroom. They were so close. Compared to Wei Jialian's enjoyment, the fourth prince obviously had other intentions.

He comforted her a few words first, and then talked about business.

"My father-in-law's birthday is coming up in a few days. Madam, have you decided what gift to give?"

"My husband is thoughtful and has prepared everything. It's the Taihu stone that my father likes. I picked a strange and spiritual one, which is just right for birthday celebrations."

Taihu stone is not cheap.

The Fourth Prince had nothing to say about his wife's generosity, but since he had spent money, he had to spend it appropriately, so he continued to talk.

"Then we can take the Seventh Brother to celebrate together. He also has a lot of respect for the father-in-law and always says that he wants to make more friends with him."

Hearing this, Wei Jialian's eyes also showed some other strangeness.

I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince is not interested in his father, but in the power in his hands.

Seeing through it, she didn't say it. Anyway, the stronger the power of the family, the more stable her position in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so Wei Jialian smiled and answered "OK" as usual.

Seeing that his wife was so easy to talk to, the fourth prince naturally showed more sincerity in his expression. He pulled her and talked about the children.

"Wu'er's health is not very good. He needs to take medicine all the time. But our Zhang'er is 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 as a king, so there is no question of whether he is a prince or not, but if he becomes the emperor overnight, then the position of the prince will be the top priority for the two families to fight for.

Therefore, when Wei Jialian heard this, she also became energetic. The sickly spirit just now was completely gone, and her eyes were full of charm for the fourth prince.

"I obey my father at home and my husband after marriage. I will listen to what my husband says."

She was not in a hurry to express her opinion, but the determination between her eyebrows was not blind. Naturally, the fourth prince could see it, and this was what he wanted.

Although the Dingping Marquis Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion had frequently made moves in his backyard, which annoyed him, at such a critical moment, naturally, neither family could be let go.

He had just said the same thing to Concubine Jia, but the words were changed.

And Concubine Jia's attitude was roughly the same as Wei Jialian's, first to gain the throne, and then talk about the rest later.

After reaching this consensus, the fourth prince had other ideas in his mind.

The news that the emperor could not hold on for a long time was finally sent to the fourth prince from the imperial concubine. After thinking about it in the study, he took the excuse of paying a visit to the relatives and personally sent the news to the Taiwei Mansion and the Dingping Marquis Mansion.

The Dingping Marquis Mansion naturally expressed its full support for the fourth prince, so it gave him people and money, but the only thing was that it had no military power to show off, and this point was exactly what the fourth prince wanted, Wei Mingxian of the Taiwei Mansion.

In a few years, Wei Mingxian has been promoted from deputy commander of Jingji Division. Now he has the help of the father and son of the fourth prince Liu, Wei Jiaheng, and can be said to be in power.

Under his order, the entry and exit of the entire Sui'an City are under his control, so if the fourth prince wants to seize power, this current father-in-law can be said to be the key!

Therefore, in the study room of the Taiwei Mansion, the atmosphere at this moment is also a group of highs and encounters a chill, and it is a bit difficult to move forward.

"Mother knows the situation of the father very well. Since she has sent out the news, then we should take action. We have been preparing for so long, isn't it just waiting for now? Father-in-law, what do you think?"

Wei Mingxian did not make a clear statement, but looked at his father. The fourth prince was left out, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart, but now was not the time for him to express his opinion casually, so he had to look at Wei Taiwei.

After a few years, he still looked as old as ever.

Time seemed to have stopped moving forward for him, and the sharpness in his eyes was no less than that of any young man.

"Fourth Prince, please be patient. We are still short of an opportunity. If we act rashly, do you think the more than 200,000 Tiger Guards outside the city will agree?" (End of this chapter)
