Qing Yan needs to calm down. Transmigrating is one thing, but becoming an infant? Is this a joke? When she was three years old, she met a jade-carved little boy. Qing Yan's eyes immediately lit...
Highly recommended:
A few days later, Fei Yanggu hurriedly walked in from outside. Yin was still reading to the child in Qingyan's belly.
"Su Peisheng, you can all leave now." Fei Yanggu waved everyone away and told them some of the rumors circulating outside.
Yin stood up, holding a book in his left hand, and paced back and forth in front of the soft couch with his hands behind his back.
The sunlight outside felt warm inside. Qingyan lazily leaned against the soft cushions, covered with a silk quilt, watching Fei Yanggu carefully examine the blue and white porcelain covered bowl in his hand.
"Father-in-law, is what you're saying true?!" Yin quickly calculated the time; it was almost time to depose the crown prince, and he had to get Yin out of there as soon as possible.
Feiyanggu nodded. Suoxiang’s residence was frequented by many trusted confidants of the leaders of various Mongol tribes. Feiyanggu informed Kangxi of this and then mentioned it to Yinzhen.
"Father-in-law, please go back and tell Mother-in-law that we're leaving the capital immediately!" Yin pondered for a moment, then decided not to get involved in the delicate situation.
Fei Yanggu nodded; he shared the same sentiment, and the situation in the capital was not looking good.
"Little Darling, you go and have someone clean up too." After clearing the list of people, everything was quiet again. "Father-in-law, I'll discuss it with my elder brother right away. Little Darling, you'll come with me!"
Fei Yanggu nodded in satisfaction, and the three of them went their separate ways.
When they arrived at Yin's courtyard, Songkelierha's laughter rang out. Yin had specially made a swing for her, and she was happily swinging around.
"Little darling, what brings you all here?" Yingenjueluo glanced at the doorway. Qingyan accompanied Yin as they walked in, standing there watching the happy family gathering in the courtyard.
"Fourth brother!" Yin tossed his braid behind him, picked up his daughter, and walked towards the stone pavilion. "What brings you here?"
“Let’s set off back to the naval port in the next couple of days, and let my sister-in-law go back to her parents’ home for a visit,” Yin said in a low voice.
Yin Genjue Luo was taken aback. Why would Yin leave so suddenly?
"The capital will be in chaos!" Yin sighed.
The Golden Festival was filled with bloodshed and chaos, and Yin felt the warmth of home, which made him even more eager to maintain peace.
"Let's get started as soon as possible, elder brother, let's say goodbye to Father Emperor." Yin stood up first, and the two brothers went to Changchun Garden together to say goodbye.
Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Qing Yan sat together, discussing how much stuff they should take together.
"Sister-in-law, are you...?" Qingyan noticed that even someone as fond of tea as Yin Genjueluo had started drinking plain water.
"Yes, I'm not feeling well," said Yin Genjue Luo Shi vaguely.
Qingyan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, does brother know?"
Yin Genjueluo nodded: "Master said we'll talk about it in three months. This year's Golden Festival was a bit chaotic, so let's not cause any more trouble. Also, since you're pregnant, Imperial Physician Yuan will be leaving with us. On the way, I'll have someone to take care of my health!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyan was somewhat surprised. Kangxi had originally intended for Imperial Physician Yuan to stay in the capital and not accompany them to the military port.
The following morning, after breakfast, Consort Tong, with the twins on either side of her, went to the Yuanmingyuan Garden. Emperor Kangxi informed Consort Tong that Yinzhi and Yinzhi should prepare for a few days and then leave the capital to return to the military port.
No one knows how Yin and Yin replied to Kangxi, but in the end, he relented.
"Mother, why are you here?!" Qingyan came out of the study, and the two children ran towards her.
"Look, it's with your mother. Little darling, come and sit down quickly. You still need to take care of your health." Consort Tong did not answer her directly.
Qingyan glanced at Sulan and then dismissed everyone.
"My little darlings, you won't be able to come back for the Spring Festival this time." Consort Tong relayed Emperor Kangxi's instructions. "The capital will be in some chaos next year, so try not to come back. Everything will be settled before the Golden Festival."
Kangxi released Yin and Yin because he didn't want his princes to get involved.
"Yes, I understand." Qingyan nodded obediently. "Mother, if we don't come back, you..."
"Don't worry about me. Write to me anytime. Aren't your Imperial Father and Consort Hui still in the palace? As long as you're alright, that's all that matters." Consort Tong didn't care about these things; it was just that not seeing the twins made her a little sad. "No matter what rumors circulate in the capital, you must not go to the capital unless Shu personally delivers a message to you. Understand?"
Emperor Kangxi had stated beforehand that the Hesheli clan must be removed from the court within the next year. Therefore, it was necessary to maintain balance in the court, and Consort Tong might feel somewhat aggrieved.
Qingyan understood the implication in her words: "Mother, you'd better talk to Sisi yourself. If I tell him, he definitely won't listen."
When it comes to Consort Tong, Qingyan really dared not say much, as there was a grudge between the young couple.
"Of course I will! Your mother is telling you this so that you can remind him once when something happens!" Consort Tong laughed heartily. "My little darling, your mother won't let you tell him."
Qingyan awkwardly ran her fingers through her hair, unable to face Yin's anger.
“Husbands and wives will bicker all the time. You can’t live your whole life if you’re always so careful. You weren’t this careful when you had a fight with the fourth prince before. Did he scare you?” Consort Tong noticed that there was a problem between the two and quickly tried to help resolve it.
The fourth brother has always been a quiet person; if he finds out something, he'll be too clumsy to explain.
"It was when he was cleaning up those servants that he got angry, which scared me. I know that Fourth Prince wouldn't get angry at me, but..." Qingyan said helplessly, her thoughts were beyond her control.
"Mother, I heard it!" Yin walked in from outside and overheard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking.
"Fourth Prince, the children have been brought back to you. They will set off the day after tomorrow morning. Go to my courtyard to say goodbye. Your mother has also prepared some things." Consort Tong's eyes moistened. The children will eventually grow up, and they will have more time to go out on official business in the future. When the twins grow up, they will also follow in Yin's footsteps.
Yin quickly agreed. Consort Tong had come to see him off, and the villa was on high alert, so she came in person to see him off.
After several busy days of preparation, Qingyan felt that there weren't enough days left, but she still managed to finish packing before leaving.
"Little darling, we need to hurry to Mother's courtyard." Yin led Qingyan to Consort Tong's courtyard. "Besides, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law leaving the old house is also to avoid being noticed."
Consort Tong was waiting in the palace early on. Two carriages were prepared in the courtyard. Emperor Kangxi had given prior instructions not to let the children stay in the palace for too long.
"Mother, we are leaving!" Yin led Qingyan to kowtow to Consort Tong, hoping to put her at ease. "I have kept your instructions in mind."
