As evening approached, Qingyan changed into comfortable palace attire and a light headdress. After washing and grooming, she helped Sulan to the main hall.

Fei Yanggu and Jue Luo sat on the table, playing with the twins.

"Father, Mother, the banquet will begin soon. You should sit in the lower left seats!" As the general in charge, Fei Yanggu held a higher position than the others.

Saito and Eshuo were the real leaders. The two brothers sat at the head of the table, watching Qingyan's heavy body sway from side to side.

"Ah Hun, what are you laughing at?" Qingyan was annoyed by the looks in Saito and Eshuo's eyes and asked them directly.

“Little darling, you’ve lost a lot of weight. When we were expecting twins, we all worried that you wouldn’t be able to get back in shape after giving birth,” E Shuo said directly.

snort!

Qingyan turned her head away arrogantly, avoiding eye contact with Eshuo. Since childhood, Eshuo and Qingyan had always been bickering, which was their way of getting along as siblings.

"Don't listen to E'shuo, as long as Xiao'ai is healthy this time, that's all that matters!" Saito looked at Qingyan's rosy little face and was very satisfied with Yin's care.

Yin sat down next to Qingyan, a smile appearing on his face. Since Qingyan became pregnant, Yin had been exceptionally attentive. Imperial Physician Yuan had drawn up a list, and Yin would take care of Qingyan according to each rule on it.

“Little Darling is in good health this time, she didn’t have such a strong reaction!” Yin also agreed.

"Fourth Master, a few troublemakers have shown themselves at this banquet. Sang Kui's tone was a bit harsh!"

"A few years ago, Father Emperor sent my twelfth brother, Yin, to Su Mo'er for upbringing. Now that Twelfth is 15, Father Emperor must be eager to take him away. That's why his mother, Lady Wanliuha, was promoted to Consort Ding." Yin laughed. Yin was sent away when he was 11. Lady Wanliuha actually put this honor, which was obtained by exchanging a prince, on the surface.

Pfft!

Fei Yanggu and his two sons chuckled to themselves. The Wanliuha clan had risen to power solely through the influence of their female relatives. Ever since Consort Ding entered the palace, her father, Tuoerbi, had been swaggering around, which Kangxi did not take seriously.

The Wanliuha clan has no capable people; they only use the name of Consort Ding to amass wealth.

“However, after Consort Ding sent Prince Shi away, she had no more children!” Qingyan was stunned. How could Consort Ding bear to do that?

Qingyan nodded. It wasn't a matter of whether she was willing or not, but rather that His Majesty had ordered it to be done, so Consort Ding could only silently endure it.

“Some time ago, Madam Wanliuha visited the mansion, saying she hoped Xiaoguai would take care of Madam Sangkui, and she even tried to get close to me!” Jueluo did not hide Madam Sangkui’s identity.

Yiken looked at Jueluo Shi in surprise. Why did Guo Luoma say this in front of them?

“You two often go to the palace and may see similar situations. You must not tell your grandfather, understand?” Yin said, bending down to look at his children.

"Huh?!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen looked confused. Why couldn't he say? "Father, won't Mafa punish me?"

“No, your Mafia can control the world and also manage all the little things in the harem. He will handle them personally. If you tell him, Mafia will be embarrassed!” Qingyan shook her head and looked at her daughter.

Yiken'e remained silent. He had witnessed similar situations before, where the other party's man was the Crown Prince. That day, he was fortunate to have shaken off Xiao Sula and played hide-and-seek in Changchun Garden; otherwise, if Mafa had found out, he would definitely have been nagged.

"Yiken'e!" When Yin heard from Kangxi that Yiken'e had discovered the Crown Prince's affair with a palace concubine, Yin's face turned dark.

"Uh, uh, uh!" Yiken'e chuckled helplessly. "I know. I apologized to Mafa that day, and Mafa said that I'm not allowed to get rid of my servants again!"

Qingyan looked at Yin curiously, wondering what extraordinary thing Yiken had discovered this time.

Yin Dao did not consider these to be scandals within the royal family. The Crown Prince was confined to his quarters, and Kangxi was preparing to issue an edict to abolish the Crown Prince, but the Empress Dowager stopped him and the matter was suppressed.

"Yiken'e, if you encounter these things again next time, hide first, understand?" Yin patted his son's little head. If the Crown Prince were to encounter this, Yiken'e would definitely be remembered.

"Father, I will be careful," Yiken said, straightening her small chest.

"Master, it's time to go!" Su Peisheng walked in from outside and reminded Yin to head towards the banquet courtyard.

Yin stood up first, holding the twins on his left and right, and the three of them, including Fei Yanggu, led Jue Luo Shi, towards the courtyard where the banquet was to be held.

Qingyan held Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen in her arms as they sat in the sedan chair, the mother and daughter looking out the window at the scenery.

"Mother, spring is coming!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen had been kept in the courtyard by Qingyan during the winter and was rarely allowed to leave the courtyard.

"Hutu Lifeng Shengzha Lafen, do you want to go on a picnic?!" Qingyan asked her daughter softly.

Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen nodded with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes. She was looking forward to Yin Xiu taking a break so that she could go to the suburbs for fun during the holidays, just like in the capital.

"Mother, when can we go?" Hutulifengshengzhalafen asked, tilting his little head up.

Qingyan smiled and said, "Let's go on a picnic in the next few days!"

As the pregnancy progresses further, Qingyan realizes she definitely won't be able to play with the children anymore. So, she decides it's good to use this leisurely time to take the children out and play.

"Really?" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen asked in surprise.

"Of course, your father will have a day off the day after tomorrow, then we can go out!" Qingyan quickly assured him.

Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen nodded quickly, and she began to talk to Qingyan about what they should prepare for their trip.

"Mother, let's take the delicious food and go out for a barbecue!" Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen remembered that the barbecue prepared by Qingyan on the grassland was really amazing.

"Sure!" When Qingyan was pregnant, she ate almost everything except for a few things she was supposed to avoid. As long as she ate a little barbecue, it was fine.

The sedan chair slowly landed, and the mother and daughter got out. Qingyan turned her head and exchanged a glance with Yin, their eyes filled with deep affection.

The soldiers, accompanied by their female relatives, knelt to pay their respects. Fei Yanggu knelt in the lower left position, while Yin had already arrived and sat in the main seat.

With a smile on her lips, Qingyan followed closely behind Yin as they walked up the steps.

"Get up and kowtow!" Su Peisheng said directly after seeing Yin and Qingyan take their seats.

Fei Yanggu and the others got up and sat down. Yin stood up and said a few polite words.

Neither Yin Genjue Luo Shi nor Qing Yan wore makeup, creating a stark contrast with the exquisite makeup of the women below.

The women secretly glanced at the two wives. The fourth wife's face was fair and rosy, and even without makeup, her appearance was excellent.
