Chapter 224: Rebellious Heart
Because there were two more children in the Bixi Palace, there were also a lot more palace servants serving them.
The Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother also sent a lot of rewards, and together with the rewards from the Emperor, the Bixi Palace was almost full.
Even all the palace servants serving in the Bixi Palace received generous rewards, and they were all smiling happily.
Qingzhu came in and told Wen Lier, "Your Majesty, Princess Lin is here."
Upon hearing this, Wen Li'er immediately asked someone to invite Ye Caiwei in.
Ye Caiwei came to see her specially and brought her a lot of supplements.
"Sister Li'er, how is your health?"
Wen Li'er smiled happily: "Sister Ye, don't worry, I'm fine."
Ye Caiwei sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Wen Li'er's face carefully.
"Seeing that he looks okay, I feel relieved."
Ye Caiwei looked at the two little guys sleeping soundly beside Wen Li'er and felt extremely envious.
"Li'er is truly a blessed person."
Wen Li'er also nodded in agreement.
She also felt that she was blessed. Her parents and brother loved her, the emperor doted on her, Xiaoxiao was obedient and sensible, and now she had two more little ones.
How many people in the world can have such good fortune?
When she saw the envy in Ye Caiwei's eyes, she smiled and said, "What's there to envy? Sister Ye likes children, so you and Prince Lin should have more."
Ye Caiwei smiled when she heard that. She gently stroked her belly with a loving look on her face.
Wen Li'er looked at her movements and was stunned for a long time before she asked in surprise: "Sister Ye, are you pregnant?"
Ye Caiwei nodded. "It was discovered a few days ago, two months ago. I wanted to tell you earlier, but the Emperor has surrounded your Tourmaline Palace like an iron barrel, so it's not easy to get in."
Wen Lier smiled: "It's not too late to know now. When the baby in Sister Ye's belly is born, Xiaoxiao and the others will have another little friend to play with."
After saying that, she thought about how she had given birth to two children at once, and added, "It could also be two."
Ye Caiwei poked her forehead and said, "Do you think everyone can have a good life like you?"
Wen Li'er said innocently, "That's hard to say. I think Sister Ye is a blessed person."
Ye Caiwei was also very envious of the twin boy and girl she gave birth to, but she did not dare to have such expectations.
Seeing this, Wen Li'er quickly changed the subject and asked her, "Sister Ye, why didn't you bring Xiong Xiong here today?"
When Ye Caiwei heard her ask this, she became a little angry.
"It's none other than the prince. Today, he accepted a friend's invitation and went to his house for a drink. He even insisted on bringing Xiongxiong with him. If I find out that he didn't take good care of Xiongxiong, I will definitely not let him go!"
Wen Li'er disagreed: "How could that be? Sister Ye is worrying for nothing. Prince Lin loves children so much, he will definitely take good care of Xiongxiong."
Ye Caiwei thought about it and it made sense. The prince treated his son like the apple of his eye. Even if something happened to him, he would never let anything happen to Xiongxiong.
She started laughing again, and Wen Li'er laughed with her.
This side of Minghe Palace.
Yan Shicheng had just returned from paying respects at the Cining Palace when he heard a young eunuch come to announce, "Third Prince, Princess Tai'an is here."
Yan Shicheng frowned slightly when he heard this.
Since the day when his mother was sentenced to death, the imperial sister rarely came to the palace. Even if she did, she never came to his place, nor did she go to A Liang's place.
Originally, A Liang used to ask about it often, but later he gradually stopped looking forward to it.
The imperial sister was worried about being implicated, so she deliberately cut off contact with them. She was really cold-hearted.
But now, two years have passed, why is she here again?
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Shicheng asked someone to invite Yan Shiyan in.
As soon as Yan Shiyan came in and saw him, her eyes turned red.
"Acheng..."
She held Yan Shicheng's hand and choked up, "Imperial sister misses you guys so much, are you and Liang'er doing well?"
Yan Shicheng subconsciously withdrew his arm and just nodded at her.
"Royal sister, A Liang and I are both fine."
Feeling her brother's coldness towards her, Yan Shiyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Ah Cheng, are you blaming the Imperial Sister for not visiting you for two years? The Imperial Sister had no choice."
She was a married princess, and after her mother's death, she had no one to rely on.
How could she not keep her tail between her legs when the prince, who hated her and her four children to the core, ascended the throne?
She originally thought that she would definitely not be able to stay with her two younger brothers.
Every day they live longer, they become more of a threat to the emperor.
But she never expected that the emperor not only did not touch Acheng and Liang, but also made them kings and granted them rich fiefdoms.
She just thought that the emperor was putting on a show, doing it for the ministers and the people, in order to gain a reputation for being generous and benevolent.
If time goes on for a long time, it is possible that the two imperial brothers will die of illness for some strange reason.
But she lived in fear for two years and gradually realized that she seemed to be wrong.
She was surprised and delighted that the emperor did not take action against her two younger brothers.
Yan Shiyan thought about the unhappy life she had had in the past two years and started crying in front of Yan Shicheng.
Yan Shicheng didn't say anything, just watched her cry quietly.
Yan Shiyan couldn't cry anymore after being stared at like that by him.
She waved her hand to let all the palace servants in the hall leave, and Yan Shicheng felt a little alert for some reason.
"Sister Imperial, what brings you to the palace today?"
Yan Shiyan said, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to come and ask you. You're getting married soon. After the wedding, will you take the princess to your fiefdom?"
Yan Shicheng shook his head: "I don't plan to go."
Yan Shiyan was stunned: "You are a vassal king, how can you not go to your fiefdom?"
Yan Shicheng did not hide this from her: "My royal brother said that if I don't want to go to the fiefdom, I will take the princess to build a house and live in the capital. I can just visit the fiefdom occasionally."
Yan Shiyan frowned, she really couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.
She asked, "Did Prince Lin and Prince Wu also stay in the capital?"
Yan Shicheng nodded: "Yes."
Yan Shiyan was anxious, and his voice suddenly became louder: "No, no matter whether they go or not, you must go to the fiefdom!"
Yan Shicheng frowned: "Why?"
Yan Shiyan seemed to realize that her voice was a little too loud, and she carefully checked the entrance to the hall.
After making sure that no one was around, he approached Yan Shicheng and lowered his voice again:
"Have you forgotten how your mother died? You are now acting so respectfully with the Emperor, but how can you be worthy of your mother's spirit?! Besides, living under the Emperor's watchful eye is no match for the freedom of a fiefdom. Then, you can take advantage of this opportunity to build your own power. Anything is possible."
Yan Shicheng's expression suddenly changed, he took a step back and scolded: "Imperial sister!"
Yan Shiyan was startled by his suddenly raised voice.
"What are you doing?!"
Yan Shicheng: "Shouldn't I be the one to ask what the emperor wants to do? For the sake of being from the same mother, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything today. But I want to advise the emperor, if you still want to live your life well, remember to be careful with your words and actions and abide by the law! Otherwise, neither the emperor, nor A Liang and I will tolerate you!"
Yan Shiyan was furious, his face flushed red with anger.
"You are such a jerk, Yan Shicheng! Mother loved us three siblings so much, and she died so tragically, yet you remained completely indifferent! Have all your filial piety gone to dogs?!"
"Filial piety?" Yan Shicheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard her say this.
"What were you doing when Mother died? Have you forgotten that you didn't even see Mother off on her final journey? For the past two years, you've ignored A-Liang and me, fearing you'd be implicated. Now, seeing that Brother Royal treats us well, you're trying to incite me to rebellion. What exactly do you want?"
Yan Shicheng was obviously really angry. After he finished speaking, he opened the door and sent the guest away without waiting for Yan Shiyan's reply.
Yan Shiyan pointed at him and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, okay, you're fine!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
