After the ancestral worship ceremony, the women, weary from their journey, headed towards the parked carriages. Qingyan, carrying her daughter, had just stepped out the door when Yin was waiting there.

"How is Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen?" Yin looked at Qingyan's complexion and found that she was fine, so he quickly warmed his daughter.

"Father, I'm tired!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen was held in Yin's arms and placed on Yin's shoulder, muttering softly.

The head maid had taught them the rules beforehand, and Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen understood that loud noises were not allowed here.

"Alright, we'll be at the carriage soon." Yin carried his daughter and walked ahead.

Qingyan felt slightly tired even wearing 3-inch flowerpot shoes. Only pregnant women could wear 3-inch flowerpot shoes when wearing large clothes such as court robes.

After the carriage slowly started moving, Su Zhu helped Qing Yan change out of his court robes. He wore a pale yellow long robe with arrow-sleeved, half-up collar underneath, and a bright red round-necked, wide-sleeved jacket over it. He also changed into a pair of soft, bright red, multi-layered soles.

Su Zhu removed all the heavy phoenix hairpins and used a ruby ​​and gold phoenix hairpin to tie her hair into two small buns. Then, on a flat board, she changed into a light ruby ​​and gold pomegranate headdress.

"This is definitely the most comfortable outfit." Qingyan stepped out from behind the screen. Before their daughter got into the carriage, Consort Tong had also taken her away. Now, only the young couple were in the carriage.

"You'll be going to the palace again in the next few days, so please wear light palace attire." Yin noticed that Qingyan's body had gained weight, and wearing court robes would be too tiring.

Yin poured Qingyan a cup of warm honey water: "During the ancestral worship, the Crown Princess and the Third Prince's family didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Previously, Yin received news that Lady Dong'e had requested the Third Prince's wife to register the daughter born to Lady Dong'e under her own name, so that the Third Prince's wife would bring the illegitimate daughter into the palace during the New Year.

An imperial edict from Emperor Kangxi saved many primary wives from being forced to bring people with them.

"No, Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen is very sensible, and the Third Princess Consort hasn't found any fault with her!" Yin laughed, knowing that his daughter would definitely not disappoint him.

Yin was relieved. The Third Princess Consort was in a bad mood, and if her daughter was blamed, her daughter would feel wronged and would be unable to refute it.

In such situations, if noble ladies are provoked and do something that goes against the rules, their reputation will be ruined.

"The Third Princess Consort... muttered a few words before going in, and soon Mother came to her rescue!" Qingyan had anticipated that the Third Princess Consort would react strongly after learning that she was pregnant.

Just as she expected, the Third Princess Consort was not only angry, but also plotting how to deal with those illegitimate children.

"Hmph, Yinzhi's courtyard will become more and more lively!" Yin sneered.

Yin had hidden several chess pieces in Yin Zhi's courtyard, so the other princes would soon find out about what was happening there.

"Huh?!" Qingyan looked completely bewildered.

“If Lady Dong’e gets involved, the Third Princess Consort will be forced to compromise. I don’t have a good opinion of Lady Dong’e. It is said that Lady Dong’e is favored by the Emperor, while the Third Princess Consort, being the legitimate daughter, has not received the Emperor’s love.” Yin explained close to Qingyan’s ear.

Qingyan was delighted; it turned out that Yin could be so gossipy.

"Don't think this is funny. You need to know that all the information we collect is compiled from such information," the author explained in detail.

Qingyan listened very carefully, hoping to continue to mediate between her sisters-in-law.

"Fourth Brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Father and Mother to take the children back to attend the banquet together?" Qingyan was very worried about the twins' situation.

Hongxi was led into the carriage by the Crown Princess. It is said that Hongxi was able to attend as the Crown Prince's son only because the Crown Princess generously acknowledged Hongxi's status.

"What about you? Did Hongxi cause any trouble?" Qingyan remembered that when Yiken'e first returned from the Imperial Study, he cried and didn't want to go back to study. It took Yin a long time to get a definite answer.

"What a mess! That brat's plan was clearly designed to target Yiken'e!" Yin said with relief.

Yiken'e does things methodically and systematically, which is quite different from Hongxi's approach.

Since the birth of the twins, Qingyan felt that things around her had never stopped, and she even left the twins to Suzhu to take care of.

“Hongxi is always up to his old tricks,” Yin sneered. “Moreover, Hongxi dared to bribe a servant to try and replace Yiken’e’s prayer mat. Fortunately, the secret guards were watching closely. As soon as Hongxi made his move, the secret guards sent by Kangxi replaced him.”

However, Kangxi informed Yin in advance of this news, wanting him to be aware that he absolutely could not be swayed by the Crown Prince's sweet talk again, otherwise, Yiken'e's life would be very miserable.

"What?" Qingyan asked directly. "Are you sure Hongxi did it?"

In Qingyan's memory, she will always remember that on their wedding day, Hongxi was still a child sitting on the throne.

“Yes, several Sulas have been caught,” Yin said directly.

"Why would you do that? How old is Yiken?" Qingyan couldn't understand why Hongxi would react so strongly.

"Therefore, Hongxi's actions have come to a head, and now many people are discussing it," Yin said, feeling quite distressed. "If we want to take action against Hongxi, no one will help us without concrete evidence."

Qingyan discovered that the princes had made many preparations for this ancestral worship ceremony, some of which were aimed at her or Lady Yingenjueluo.

Are they considered royal role models, each with two children?

The carriage slowly came to a stop at the entrance of Taihe Hall. After being helped down from the carriage by Yin, Qingyan looked around Taihe Hall. The little Sulas had cleaned the courtyard in advance.

"Pfft, who would dare to touch Hongxi?" Qingyan sneered. "As long as Father Emperor doesn't depose the Crown Prince, this kid can be so arrogant!"

Yin doted on Hongxi and spoiled him. The Crown Princess was chosen to be someone who could get along well with and love the prince. Judging from Shulu's appearance, one could tell that the Crown Princess was very strict and demanding.

"So arrogant?" Qingyan was stunned.

Yin nodded. That was for sure. Yuqing Palace was standing strong, and besides, he was the only male in the palace, so he had to help Yuqing Palace.

"Originally, Hongxi's views were correct. But ever since he entered the Imperial Study, Kangxi could see with his own eyes that Hongxi had become ambitious. Perhaps Qingyan didn't hear what the Crown Prince was saying!" Hongxi said he didn't care. He was happy to have beautiful women with him and just wanted to go home.

Hongxi couldn't stand the nannies always talking about rules, so he ran away to live somewhere else.
