The Yuelai Inn was closed for four days. Yin stayed inside to accompany Qingyan and help her recover. Kangxi was furious. The fourth prince only had twins, a boy and a girl. Qingyan had another child a few years later, and he had some expectations for this child.

As noon approached, Yin's carriage slowly came to a stop in Consort Tong's courtyard. Emperor Kangxi was already waiting in the hall, playing Go with the twins.

"Little darling, slow down!" Yin's voice rang out, and Shu and Shuzhu went out to greet him early.

Qingyan, angered by Yin's orders, walked towards the main hall. When the twins saw Yin and Qingyan returning, they prepared to pounce on them. Kangxi, holding one in each arm, took the two little ones into his embrace.

"Not now, Yiken'e, your mother is not feeling well!" Kangxi said, looking at Yiken'e.

Yiken raised his head and stared at Kangxi, confusion appearing in his phoenix eyes.

"My little darling, no need for formalities," Consort Tong quickly said.

"Mother, it's too much trouble for you and Father to leave the two children with you!" Qingyan quickly said.

Yin held the twins on his lap, and the two children kept telling Yin about the events of the past few days, while Consort Tong inquired about Qingyan's health with concern.

"Little darling, how is your mother's health?!" Consort Tong inquired about the health of Lady Jue Luo. Yin and Qingyan had an accident at the Ulanara old residence, and the three ladies of the Jue Luo clan had been holed up in their respective residences and had not come out since.

Qingyan gave a bitter smile. Her mother was faking illness. If she hadn't gone a bit too far, even Consort Tong wouldn't have heard the news.

"Mother, it must be something Father-in-law said that Mother-in-law is faking illness!" Yin quickly explained when he saw Qingyan's dilemma.

Emperor Kangxi sighed: "Feiyanggu is just too cautious. The Jue Luo clan has little to do with him. During the time you were away, the Jue Luo clan did a good job."

If it weren't for Fei Yanggu, he wouldn't have allowed Consort Tong to keep a close eye on the condition of the old house.

"Father, was Mother-in-law ill before?" Yin had heard Imperial Physician Yuan mention that Lady Jue Luo's health was indeed poor and had not been properly cared for.

Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong exchanged a glance and nodded. On the way back to the capital, Consort Tong heard from her subordinates that the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Gioro clan had run into trouble. The old lady of the Gioro clan had personally intervened and demanded that the Gioro clan rescue the eldest grandson of the family.

Jue Luo firmly denied it and refused to compromise. The mother and daughter had a very unpleasant argument. Fei Yanggu also heard the news. Even though Jue Luo firmly stood on Ulanara's side this time, Fei Yanggu could not let his guard down. Jue Luo had taught them too many lessons before.

"Fourth Prince, Lady Jue Luo asked me to keep this a secret," Consort Tong's eyes reddened. Even though Lady Jue Luo had treated Qingyan badly before, she had been slowly changing. "During that time, her health was too weak, and the three ladies of Lady Jue Luo kept putting pressure on her. I went to see her in person, and only then did the three of them stop bothering her."

Qingyan looked at the blazing sun outside the door. That family had gone too far. Jue Luo Shi didn't say a word, probably hoping that Fei Yanggu and his two sons and she could rest assured.

"Fourth son, little darling, I also have something to say to you." Consort Tong looked at the two children. Now that they had twins, they should understand the feelings of being parents. "Gioro has changed a lot. As the old saying goes, there are no parents who are not wrong. She may be a little biased towards boys, but in fact, many noble ladies in Manchu Eight Banners families are trained in this way. So, little darling, don't blame Gioro."

As soon as the words fell, Qingyan was stunned. Consort Tong actually spoke up for the Jueluo clan. After having Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, Qingyan had been thinking about whether she would do the same thing as the Jueluo clan. Whenever she thought of her childhood, she no longer had much hope.

"Mother, I'll try my best to go back during this short time in the capital!" Qingyan didn't want anything to happen to her mother. "Father will definitely be sad if he comes back!"

Consort Tong shook her head: "Fourth Prince, Xiao Guai needs to rest. You should go and visit the old house more often!"

Yin was considered a cold-faced prince, so many ministers were afraid of him. After hearing about Yin's past, the three members of the Jue Luo clan would certainly not dare to act recklessly again.

"Yes, Mother, I understand!" Yin nodded. He always felt that the three ladies of the Jue Luo clan had some schemes in their hearts. "It would be better for Xiao'er to go more often, to show those censors what to do!"

Upon returning to the capital, Yin discovered that Qingyan was being followed again, which made him uneasy.

"Many people went to the Fourth Prince's residence?!" Kangxi noticed that changes had begun to occur in the capital after Yinzhi and Yinzhi returned.

"Yes, there are many. After leaving the capital, they went directly to the Yuanmingyuan Garden to live and have not yet returned to their residences," Yin replied directly.

News came from Su Peisheng's side that many people had sent invitations, but fortunately Qingyan was pregnant, and Yin used her pregnancy as an excuse that she couldn't overexert herself, so he politely declined them all.

The reality is somewhat worrying for Yin; those people probably won't compromise easily.

“This won’t do, Xiao Guai still needs to go to her social engagements!” Consort Tong shook her head and said.

Qingyan sat upright to the side and echoed, "Mother, I will be able to attend social events starting tomorrow, so please don't worry."

She needs to make an appearance recently, otherwise, things will be even more complicated before the talent show.

Later that evening, the twins were taken back to the Yuanmingyuan Garden, and Yin told the two children to rest for a while.

"Little darling, are you going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet?!" Before the Golden Festival, the palace would prepare various banquets, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet was one of them.

The year before the imperial concubine selection, during the Golden Festival, the wives of officials would dress up the women to be selected and send them to the palace to participate in various banquets. They would not miss such a banquet.

The imperial concubines and female members of the royal family and clan would all participate. Some of the women who needed to become concubines would be selected in advance and discussed with Consort Tong.

“Of course, I won’t let you choose the people, but I still need to show up, otherwise, who knows what those people will say.” Qingyan sat wearily in a chair and discussed with Yin whether they should hold the event at the Yuanmingyuan.

“We don’t need to hold it. If we do, it might give those people a chance to speculate!” Yin cut off a plate of fruit and fed it to Qingyan little by little.

Since the pregnancy was discovered, she has been eating three plates of fruit every day without fail, and Yin keeps a close eye on her.

"Yes, Sisi, I'm fine. I'm much better now. Last time was an accident," Qingyan quickly reassured her.

The maids around her were all punished, and even the head nanny was reprimanded by Yin, for fear that a similar situation would occur again.

"Bring the head nanny, bring everyone!" Yin instructed again, still not at ease.

Starting tomorrow, Changchun Garden will be hosting a series of flower banquets, and he will be by the emperor's side, so he won't have time to accompany Qingyan.

"Hmm!" Qingyan needs to rest a bit more.
