This wood embroidery thought that she would be killed this time and would definitely be kicked out by Miss, but she didn't expect Miss to give her a chance, so she was grateful, kowtowed to Fang Dongqiao and went out to work in gratitude.

And at this time, Fang Dongqiao was relieved that she had removed the hidden danger of the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard, but this incident had made her more careful in choosing the maid, and her test of the maid who could be entrusted with the matter in the future became more and more stringent.

The matter of the thief experienced by the bamboo lotus courtyard, from now on, the maids up and down are all called by the hibiscus and Qingluo every day, beating three meals a day, in this way, it really has an effect, those maids who do not * point do not dare to think about it again, and do things diligently.

Needless to say, some wood-embroidered maids who wore crimes and made meritorious contributions naturally gave Fang Dongqiao a good performance, in order to thank Fang Dongqiao for giving her the opportunity to stay.

In this way, when Fang Dongqiao's grounding for a month passed, Fang Dongqiao brewed all kinds of delicious fruit wine in the medicine field space, not to mention, and also made more than 30 bottles of various flower fragrances, and made a lot of various precious medicinal materials.

What's even more rare is that after this lockdown, Fang Dongqiao found that the top and bottom of this bamboo lotus courtyard were becoming more and more cautious in their words and deeds, and their style of action was becoming more and more rigorous and cautious.

And between the pros and cons of gains and losses, there must be losses in this way, those maids no longer dare to joke with Fang Dongqiao easily, except for the hibiscus Qingluo next to Fang Dongqiao and Mama Yu, the other maids really have the kind of awe that the subordinates treat their masters to Fang Dongqiao, and Fang Dongqiao no longer minds this difference between respect and inferiority at this time, she really can't use the power of one person to break the tacit conventions of this world, so she let the maids below fear her and fear her.

Because instead of letting those maids think that you are easy to bully as a master, it is better for these maids to be in awe of you, if there is no way for the emperor to make people happy and convinced of you, then killing chickens and monkeys, this harsh method is also the best deterrent.

Of course, this can be regarded as a kind of loss, but it is difficult to have everything both, since you want to get a part, you naturally have to give up a part, which is reasonable, just like in this month of grounding, Fang Dongqiao has gained a lot, her ears have been clean for a month, she calmed down her pace, sorted out a lot of things that she hadn't figured out before, and gave her a period of rest.

In addition, the month of Fang Dongqiao's grounding happened to be the month of the New Year, and the family members were busy with the New Year, busy with the same level and subordinates to their superiors, etc., preparing appropriate New Year's gifts and giving them to each other, in order to cope with the so-called so-called sophistication in the officialdom and shopping malls.

But Fang Dongqiao did not participate in these complicated things, which can be described as a blessing, this is a gain.

However, there must have been some losses between gains, this New Year's season, Fang Dongqiao had no way to reunite with his family and eat a reunion dinner lively, but stayed in the bamboo lotus courtyard pitifully, celebrating the arrival of the New Year with Hibiscus Qingluo and Mama Yu, which has to be said to be a loss.

Therefore, nothing can be done perfectly, there is something to gain, there is inevitably a loss, this Fang Dongqiao figured this out and naturally let go, and she no longer bothered about how she, the master, should get along with her subordinates.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that she had finally been clean for a month, and she didn't even participate in the atmosphere of the New Year, but when it came to the spring season, she didn't expect that the life of the Fang family, which had just calmed down, would be broken again.

I don't know why, this is just past the sixth day of the first lunar month, or the day when the courtiers are resting at home, but unexpectedly, the situation in the palace has changed, and the four princes, His Royal Highness Zhou Hongli, actually spread the bad news at this time, and the Tao is suffering from smallpox, which everyone is afraid of.

Therefore, something happened to the son of the heavenly family, and the emperor's favorite son had an accident, so as the emperor is in a bad mood, can you courtiers still stay at home and go around drinking and talking with your family, this is obviously impossible.

Therefore, on the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the eldest brother Fang Jingshu was called away, and then his brother-in-law Zhao Anshun also received a message from his father-in-law in the palace, asking his brother-in-law to quickly pack up the news, and when it was sorted out, he went into the palace to see His Royal Highness Zhou Hongli, the fourth prince, to see his illness.

When Fang Dongqiao heard the news, she had already been grounded for a month and three days, and naturally she had been released from the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard.

At that time, she heard that her brother-in-law Zhao Anshun was going to treat His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince who had smallpox in the palace, so she took the initiative to mention it, pretended to be Zhao Anshun's medicine boy, and went to the harem to see what happened to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

But this time, brother-in-law Zhao Anshun ignored Fang Dongqiao's request at all, and her sister Fang Xiayao also stopped Fang Dongqiao and prevented Fang Dongqiao from going into danger.

Of course, the Yun family and Fang Mingcheng were naturally opposed, especially the Yun family, who directly told Fang Dongqiao that if he had such thoughts, he would simply go to the Bamboo Lotus Courtyard and be grounded for three months.

This Fang Dongqiao saw her mother's cold face, obviously she couldn't make sense of what she said, so she could only stop stupidly.

Originally, she was also thinking about smallpox, and it stands to reason that this royal child should not be able to do it.

Because before she went to Xiaoyao Valley, in addition to planting cowpox for her family and those familiar relatives and friends, Rong Ruochen and Mr. Ye also got Fang Dongqiao's pox formula, so this artificial pox to prevent smallpox should have spread all over the world a long time ago, and at this time, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Zhou Hongli had smallpox, Fang Dongqiao was a little puzzled.

However, what she didn't expect was that although Rong Ruochen and Mr. Ye had Fang Dongqiao's pox planting method, the smallpox matter was not a trivial matter, and no one had ever tried it, so Rong Ruochen and Mr. Ye were cautious people, how could they come up with this kind of recipe and present it to the emperor?

You must know that this merit is better than no fault, the emperor's affairs have always been very complicated, this Rong Ruochen and Mr. Ye are smart, they have experienced the affairs of the court, how could they spread this kind of recipe before they are very sure, so only a small number of people who have the benefits of pox are Rong Ruochen's trusted relatives, subordinates and friends, and Mr. Ye is naturally like this.

So the reason for this matter, in the final analysis, is that no one dares to test the royal people rashly, so it is reasonable for His Royal Highness Zhou Hongli of the Fourth Prince to have smallpox this time.

Of course, the Four Princes' Royal Highnesses were rumored to have smallpox, so naturally they have been isolated now, and the entire Four Princes' Mansion can only go in and not out, and the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army in the palace to handle the Four Princes' Mansion, saying that he was here to protect the Four Princes, but in fact, everyone knows that the emperor clearly wants to abandon His Royal Highness the Four Princes, Zhou Hongli.

I heard that the emperor learned that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince had smallpox, not because he was worried about his son's condition, but because he was worried about whether he was infected with the smallpox virus by this son, so he was worried that he couldn't eat or sleep, so he called the doctors of the hospital again and again, and stayed by his side day and night to see if there was anything unusual in his body.

And as soon as he learned that he had no problem with himself, he immediately recovered as before, and began to take His Royal Highness the Third Prince Zhou Hongyu in and out of the imperial study, and the court would also ask the opinions of the Third Prince, so those bright-hearted ministers naturally went to hug the big tree of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, as for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, what if he was favored by the emperor before, it was useless at this time, naturally he was put aside like His Royal Highness the Prince, who was sick and crooked, and was nothing in the eyes of the emperor.

This Fang Dongqiao heard his brother-in-law Zhao Anshun talking about the situation of the four princes' mansions, and talking about the current appearance of the four princes, it can be said that it couldn't be more miserable, a prince who was abandoned by the emperor has no possibility of fighting, so is there any point in his life? Therefore, at this time, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Zhou Hongli, was not only suffering from illness, but also suffering from mental suffering.

At this time, in addition to a few henchmen's subordinates, his mother, Concubine Niangniang, still really loves him, cares about his condition, and worries about him all the time, eager to break into the prince's mansion to see him. But the emperor made it clear that he could only enter but not out, and when he came out again, unless the smallpox of the four princes had been cured, otherwise, he would have to wait for death if he went in. In this way, for the sake of the family's interests, the lady still didn't have the courage to break into the mansion of the four princes to take care of His Royal Highness Zhou Hongli.

At this time, Fang Dongqiao heard his eldest brother Fang Jingshu mention that the emperor only sent two unknown imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital to see His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and he still cared about his son on the surface, but in fact, it was equivalent to giving up this son, because in the emperor's heart, smallpox has not been saved since ancient times, and there is only a way to die, so he has no hope for the son of the fourth prince.

What's more, as an emperor, he has many sons, one less is one less, naturally it doesn't matter, as long as he firmly sits on the most noble throne in the world, then he will have many excellent sons.

In this way, Fang Dongqiao sympathized with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and the previous unpleasantness towards the Fourth Prince was gradually smoothed out.

Who calls the sons of the heavenly family too pathetic, when it really comes to the critical moment, they can all be used to discard, this is the heavenly family, the heavenly family that has never had only interests and no family affection.
