Qian Shengyan knew that asking this question at this moment was a bit of a mood killer, but she really wanted to ask, so she did.

Yinzhen didn't feel offended at all. He even chuckled, and the vibration of his chest reached Qian Shengyan's ears, making her belatedly feel a little shy.

She pursed her lips: "That's not what I meant..."

"Either Hongli or Hongzhou, and as for the other one, I want to give my seventeenth brother a concubine. He has no sons yet, and I am worried about him," Yinzhen said slowly.

Qian Shengyan felt a sense of relief. She bit her lip and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds."

"No, I was going to entrust this matter to you anyway." Yinzhen smiled again, looking very pleased.

Qian Shengyan became even more embarrassed. She pushed against Yinzhen's chest to sit up straight, coughed lightly, and tried to change the subject: "Has Fuerguochun come to see Your Majesty?"

"Yes, I wrote an imperial edict for her," Yinzhen said calmly, but one hand was still on Qian Shengyan's waist, stroking it.

Qian Shengyan grabbed his hand, somewhat curious: "What imperial edict?"

Judging from what Yinzhen said, the destination of the two Mongolian princesses had not yet been decided, so why was there an imperial edict?

“Oh, an imperial edict bestowing marriage upon them,” Yinzhen said with a smile. “An imperial edict bestowing marriage upon Foerguochun and Errongan.”

Qian Shengyan: ?

Qian Shengyan jumped out of his arms: "Your Majesty? A marriage decree? An imperial edict? Now? This is it?"

Yinzhen chuckled and pulled her back to sit on his lap: "It was already arranged..."

"No, this..." Qian Shengyan wanted to say that this was too hasty, but since Ferguchun was willing, Erong'an probably wouldn't have any objections, and as her mother, she seemed to have no right to object.

But she couldn't help but complain to the man, "Why didn't Your Majesty discuss this with me first?"

"Alright, alright, I won't lie to you." Yinzhen laughed, "I didn't affix my imperial seal to that edict; I just used it to intimidate Fuerguochun."

Qian Shengyan: ? ? ?

No, do you even remember who you are? Emperor Yongzheng?

Your daughter is allowed to play with an imperial edict? To scare people? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?

While she was still staring wide-eyed, Folgochun's clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the carriage curtain: "Father Emperor!"

Su Peisheng was probably keeping a distance, and Ferguchun rashly lifted the curtain and came in, holding a golden scroll in her hand. Before she even entered, she happily exclaimed, "Thank you so much, Father Emperor, for helping your daughter! I'll show this to Qiqige, hahaha—"

Folgochun's loud laughter stopped abruptly the moment he saw his parents.

Qian Shengyan didn't react immediately. She was still sitting in Yinzhen's lap, staring blankly at Foerguochun.

If we're talking about calmness, then Yinzhen was the calmest. He tapped the table lightly and said, "Get out."

Folgochun shuddered, as if he had just come back to his senses, and forgot to take his leave. He immediately turned and ran away.

Qian Shengyan: ...

It’s over…

I'm too ashamed to be a mother anymore...

She raised her hand to cover her face, but the tips of her ears that were exposed were bright red.

Yinzhen was also a little embarrassed, feeling somewhat uncomfortable that his daughter had seen their intimate moment. But seeing Qian Shengyan so shy, he found it both amusing and heartbreaking.

Without hesitation, Yinzhen called out, "Su Peisheng!"

Qian Shengyan quickly jumped off his lap. She was unusually a little awkward. She felt uncomfortable sitting next to him, so she stood up and turned her back to the car wall.

It was like being punished by standing in the corner.

Yinzhen found it amusing. He silently pressed down on the corner of his lips. He had only been thinking about scolding her and had forgotten about her embarrassment.

But the carriage curtain had already been lifted, and Su Peisheng entered and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"Where did you go just now? You didn't even stop the princess from coming in," Yinzhen said displeased.

Su Peisheng was startled and immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness: "This servant is guilty. This servant just went to serve the Emperor and the Princess their meal. Xiao Quanzi was guarding outside. He probably didn't dare to stop the Princess..."

Su Peisheng's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, suggesting he had guessed some of what was going on.

Xiao Quanzi was still young and spent little time with the Emperor. He probably didn't know what the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine were doing in the carriage, so he didn't stop the princess. The princess, perhaps, also witnessed the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine being intimate...

Ah, speaking of this, Su Peisheng is very familiar with it.

He was a eunuch, yet he almost knew what intimate intimacy meant...

"Your Highness, what do you think should be done with this servant?" Yinzhen had summoned Su Peisheng to let Qian Shengyan vent her anger, and now he asked her directly.

Qian Shengyan remained standing facing the carriage wall for a moment before replying in a muffled voice, "...Eunuch Su, please go and prepare lunch. I'm hungry."

This means no punishment will be imposed!

Su Peisheng was overjoyed and guessed that the Emperor must be in a good mood today. He immediately kowtowed to Qian Shengyan, responded, and then looked at the Emperor.

Yinzhen laughed and scolded, "Why don't you thank your noble master for sparing your life?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you! I'll go serve you your meal right away!" Su Peisheng said, getting up and rushing out. Just before leaving, he subconsciously glanced back, only to see the Emperor coaxing and pulling him into his arms—

Tsk, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't look at what you shouldn't see...

Eunuch Su quickly ran away, but he didn't forget to teach Xiao Quanzi that no matter where they were, as long as the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort were together, whoever came had to wait outside to be informed.

Xiao Quanzi nodded blankly, but Su Peisheng still knocked him on the head and punished him by cutting off his monthly allowance for three months, telling him to reflect on his actions.

After punishing the person, Su Peisheng quickly ran to serve the meal. He now understood that he could ignore the Emperor's words, but he absolutely had to listen to the Imperial Noble Consort's words.

The caravan arrived at the Chengde Mountain Resort a few days later. Yinzhen decided to follow the example of the late emperor and come here to rest and spend the summer after the hunt, before returning to the capital when the weather cooled down.

After getting off the car, Qian Shengyan originally thought she would stay at the Lion Garden again, but she was surprised to find an even larger garden. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was the Summer Palace where Emperor Kangxi used to live.

"My lady, this is the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace. Please come this way." Su Peisheng bowed and scraped as he introduced the new bedroom to Qian Shengyan.

Qian Shengyan hummed in agreement, and Su Peisheng took the initiative to say, "His Majesty went to the front first. He has a few urgent memorials and said that Your Highness should rest for a while and have dinner in the side hall in front."

After speaking, Su Peisheng gave a general introduction to the situation of the Summer Palace. In front of the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall is the Danbo Jingcheng Hall. Together, the two are the main palace of the Summer Palace, which was originally where Emperor Kangxi lived. However, now Emperor Yinzhen has Qian Shengyan live here as well.

Just like the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Forbidden City or the Nine Provinces Garden in the Old Summer Palace, wherever Yinzhen was, he wanted her to be there too.
