Upon hearing this, Consort Qi's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

At the same time, Lin's parents moved into the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion, which was bestowed upon them by Emperor Yongzheng.

Lin Yun took some time to summon them to the palace for a family reunion, which was a joyous occasion.

Lin's mother held her granddaughter tightly, unable to put her down, and instructed her daughter to be careful with her words and actions.

Lin Feng and Lin Yan did not come. It was inconvenient for men outside the palace to enter the inner palace. They could only be seen on the day of the investiture ceremony.

Three days before the 100-day celebration, everything was ready. Lin Yun finally had a moment of leisure, leaning back on the soft couch and closing her eyes to rest.

Granny Li gently covered her with a light blanket and whispered, "Your Highness, please rest for a while. You'll have a lot to do tomorrow."

Lin Yun hummed in agreement, but her thoughts drifted back to the Emperor's probing that day.

She opened her eyes and suddenly asked, "Granny, has the Emperor mentioned Xie Yu recently?"

Granny Li shook her head: "No. His Majesty has been busy with military affairs these days, but he often asks about the Empress's diet and daily life."

Lin Yun smiled slightly, feeling relieved.

——

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Yongzheng put down his vermilion brush and rubbed his sore wrist.

Su Peisheng handed over a cup of tea at the opportune moment and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine just sent someone to ask if you are going to dine at Yanxi Palace tonight?"

Yongzheng glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and nodded, saying, "Prepare the carriage."

As he stood up, he suddenly asked, "What has Xie Yu been doing lately?"

Su Peisheng was taken aback, and quickly replied, "Young Master Xie has been staying at the Xie residence and has not gone out. It seems... he is looking for a partner."

Su Peisheng was also speechless. The Imperial Concubine had only invited Young Master Xie to the banquet.

The master was on high alert and even sent people to keep an eye on Xie Yu...

Sigh... Master is really doomed!

Yongzheng raised an eyebrow, hummed in agreement, and asked no further questions.

He knew, of course, that he was being unreasonable, but some emotions are ultimately hard to control.
