Quing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Pet

What is the feeling of transmigrating into a novel you wrote yourself?

Yin Qingyi: It's hard to put into words.

What is the experience of transmigrating into a cannon fodder charact...

Chapter 69 What's so smelly about it?

Li Mama couldn't understand why the master's wife reacted so strongly just because he changed his favorite concubine. Wasn't it the wife who initially pushed Yin Shi and Li Shi to compete for the master's favor? She should have expected this outcome. The only thing that didn't go as they expected was that Yin Shi didn't get pregnant, but still became pregnant and gave birth smoothly.

“Granny, you don’t understand. The way the master looks at Madam Yin is different. He used to dote on Madam Li, but he never looked at her like that. Didn’t you see when Madam Yin gave birth? When has the master ever been so nervous about a woman in the back courtyard giving birth? Even when Madam Li was at her most favored, the master just sat calmly in the courtyard waiting for her to give birth. When has he ever lost his composure and wanted to rush into the delivery room? When has he ever yelled at me because of something I said when Madam Li was giving birth? But Madam Yin did it. She made the master lose his composure!” The Fujin didn’t care whether Granny Li understood her meaning or not. She just needed to vent.

"This... perhaps it's because Madam Yin is pregnant with her third child? The master might be worried about the baby. Are you overthinking it, Madam?" Granny Li said uncertainly, as she hadn't paid attention to these things that day.

"Then why did the master warn me the other day because of Madam Yin's poisoning? Was it also because he cares about the child? Ha, Granny, you don't need to comfort me. I should have listened to Mother and given my heart to him, otherwise, how could things have come to this?" The princess laughed sadly. Young and naive, she had given her heart to the wrong person, and in the end, only she was hurt and heartbroken.

“Fujin…” Li Mama felt heartbroken looking at Fujin like this. She couldn’t blame her master, so she could only blame Yin Qingyi for everything.

"Granny, let me have some peace and quiet." The princess waved away Granny Li's hand and walked back to her inner room alone.

Granny Li stood outside watching the Fujin (principal wife). After the Fujin went inside, she turned her head to look in the direction of Luoxue Pavilion, a calculating glint in her eyes.

Luoxuexuan

Yin Qingyi was fast asleep at the moment, completely unaware that she had once again taken the blame for some scoundrel. She was clearly the victim, but it was as if she was the one who poisoned someone else.

Fortunately, Yin Qingyi knew nothing about all of this, otherwise she would have been furious.

The third day arrived in the blink of an eye. Today was the third-day celebration for the three children. Because they were the first twins of the dynasty, the celebration attracted a lot of attention. The three children were dressed up early and carried to the front yard by the nanny and several others.

The front yard was already packed with people, all drawn by the fame of the twins. Even Prince Zhi, who was at odds with Yinzhen, had come.

The princess's face looked normal, not as bad as others thought, but everyone present was shrewd enough to see through her forced smile.

"Fourth Prince, we must drink until we drop today! You've got such rare twins, you can't spoil the fun." Prince Zhi said, pulling Yinzhen along, his eyes smiling, as if he and Yinzhen were truly good brothers.

"Of course." Yinzhen was in a good mood today and did not want to have any unpleasantness with his elder brother.

"Fourth brother, where are the twins? Why aren't they out yet?" the third brother, Yinzhi, asked curiously.

"It should be soon," Yinzhen said, glancing at the time.

Sure enough, as soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Granny Naqi came out carrying the child, and everyone immediately looked at Granny Naqi and the two wet nurses behind her.

"These children are really good-looking." Yin Zhi was a little surprised. When he heard that they were triplets, he thought he would see three skinny little babies. Unexpectedly, they looked no different from normal children. No, they looked even better than normal children!

"Fourth Prince, your princess is very fertile; these three children look very healthy." Prince Zhi nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, the time has come." Just as Yinzhen was about to reply, Granny Qi spoke up.

"Yes, go ahead, but don't be late." Yinzhen nodded.

Naqi's nanny, accompanied by two wet nurses, arrived at the third-day bathing area, where three golden basins, each filled with warm water, had already been placed.

The old woman and two wet nurses handed the child over to the three women waiting there. These women were all handpicked by Yinzhen, and all had both sons and daughters and came from respectable families.

The three women quickly and skillfully stripped the three little ones naked and then gently placed them into the basin.

"Wow!" The three little ones were startled by the water in the basin and exclaimed in unison. This was the "sounding basin".

Even Yin Qingyi, who was far away in Luoxue Pavilion, heard it vaguely and was quite startled. She was relieved only after Mingyue came and told her.

"Wow, fourth son, your three kids are something else! They're full of energy! Hahaha." The crown prince heard these three voices as soon as he entered the door and walked over with a smile.

"May the Crown Prince be blessed!" Everyone immediately bowed to the Crown Prince.

"Rise, all of you. I am only here to attend my nephew's third-day celebration. There is no need for such formalities," the Crown Prince waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone stood up.

The third-day-after-birth ceremony continued, and when it came to the part about adding a basin, the three women kept saying auspicious words without repeating themselves.

The Crown Prince went up first to add basins, which contained three jade pendants made of mutton fat white jade. Then it was Prince Zhi's turn, which contained three longevity locks made of gold.

Then came Yinzhi, one by one, until all three basins were overflowing. The Fujin at the head of the table watched, her previously pleasant expression now completely ruined.

After the third-day celebration, the three little ones were taken back to Luoxue Pavilion, and from then on, it was the adults' business; it had nothing to do with them.

Looking at the three little ones crying with a wronged expression, Yin Qingyi felt both amused and a little sorry for them. She hugged and kissed them for a while before finally making them laugh.

The postpartum period may seem short to others, but for the woman experiencing it, it can feel like an eternity!

"Granny, could you please get me some hot water? I just need to wipe myself down. Can't you smell how bad it is?" Yin Qingyi said, pulling on Granny Naqi's hand with a pained expression.

"Princess, it really won't do. Please bear with it a little longer. You'll be out of confinement in twenty days, and then this old servant will let you take a good bath." Granny Naqi refused resolutely. She was only trying to help the princess; how could she take a bath during confinement?

"And Princess, you don't smell bad at all, you smell wonderful." Granny Naqi added, and she wasn't lying. Princess really didn't smell bad. The delivery room was filled with Princess's fragrance every day, so how could she smell bad?

"...What are your noses made of? I can't even stand this smell myself, and you can't even smell it?" Yin Qingyi looked at them in disbelief. These noses must be fake!

"What do you mean by 'stinky'?" Yinzhen's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
