Yinzhen stood to the side, completely unconcerned about being ignored by his imperial father. He grinned and said, "Father, Hongzheng and the others have been saying they miss you these past few days, so I brought them in. These are their study books. I'll be leaving now."
Emperor Kangxi was pleased by his grandsons' antics and casually waved his hand, ignoring Yinzhen who was standing to the side.
When he came to his senses, he noticed the box of books in front of him and his six little grandsons looking at him expectantly.
Damn it, that brat, he left the kids with him.
Liang Jiugong smiled respectfully to the side, seeing that Kangxi showed no sign of anger, and neatly put away the book box.
Since the arrival of his six grandsons, the Qianqing Palace has been bustling with activity.
Emperor Kangxi didn't have much time to dwell on other sorrows. With his beloved grandsons by his side every day, he wasn't so angry, and his spirits improved considerably.
Some princes, thinking they could gain Emperor Kangxi's favor through their children, followed suit and sent their own children to the palace.
Kangxi looked at his somewhat timid grandsons and felt a little angry, but he still held back and let the curious Hongzheng and the others pull them to play.
He liked Hongzheng and his sons, not only because of their appearance, but also because of their innocent affection and boldness. His grandsons and sons rarely dared to play freely in his presence, but Hongzheng and his sons were the only ones who dared to be affectionate with him. Moreover, it was clear from their hearts that they genuinely liked and cared for him as their elder. How could he not favor these grandsons? But this didn't mean he could accept everyone without question, no matter their intentions. His sons' ambitions were truly too great, Kangxi's eyes darkened.
After a day, no prince dared to send anyone else to the palace.
Although Hongjung and his friends were disappointed that their older and younger brothers weren't coming, they already had many brothers and plenty of playmates, so they quickly forgot about it after a few days.
In October of the 59th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Qingyin gave birth to her last daughter, Aqina. The birth of the little princess was met with everyone's anticipation and blessings.
Hongzheng and Hongzhang cherished their little sister, who was so much less capable than them, and spoiled her rotten.
Both Yinzhen and Qingyin doted on their youngest daughter, Aqina, and she did not grow up badly in this pampered environment. Instead, she became a gentle and brave princess.
On November 13th of the 61st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the emperor passed away at Changchun Garden. In the same year, his fourth son, Yinzhen, ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Yongzheng.
The boys, Hongzheng and Hongzhang, whom he had personally raised to adulthood, cried bitterly as they saw their grandfather off on his final journey.
Because of the passing of their grandfather, the group seemed to have grown up and become much more composed.
When it came to the issue of life and death, Qingyin had no way to persuade the children; she simply patted their heads gently.
The children were raised exceptionally well by Emperor Kangxi, but because of Qingyin's presence, they developed a tenderness—a tenderness for the people and for fairness. Though in high positions, they still upheld their responsibilities.
This time, Yinzhen did not get close to the Eighth Prince again, but instead became much closer to the Fourth Prince. Yinzhen's ascension to the throne was even aided by the Fourth Prince.
However, his help was not in vain. Qingyin looked at Consort Yi, who was being taken out of the mansion, and smiled gently.
In this world, Qingyin lived out her natural lifespan and went to sleep. The children continued on their own paths, and none of them abandoned their responsibilities of justice. Qingyin was very gratified.
As soon as Qingyin returned to the system space, the system grabbed her leg and said, "Hehe, congratulations on your return, Yinyin."
"As expected of the great host of this system, no task is too difficult for the beautiful Yinyin."
Qingyin raised an eyebrow. What misdeeds had this damn system gotten itself into now? "What, what have you done this time?"
The system chuckled dryly, "Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Lady Yinyin."
"Ahem, it's Yinyin. I snatched this super good mission from among thousands of missions. Honghong (other systems) and the others asked me to buy it, but I didn't agree. I just wanted to save this mission for my great and beautiful Yinyin."
"Just tell me, what's the mission? Don't say anything else, I don't want to hear it," Qingyin said lazily, making it unclear whether she actually wanted to accept the task.
While silently observing, the system tentatively said, "Yinyin's time-travel to the Qing Dynasty world this time is quite different, as it involves the Immortal Realm. However, the inviolable forces in the mission will definitely not be allowed to exist. This mission is to protect Lin Daiyu from Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber and ensure her safety throughout her life."
"The wisher, Lin Daiyu, also known as the Crimson Pearl Fairy, has given out a huge batch of rewards. As long as you complete these, they will all be yours, Yinyin."
Qingyin was not swayed by the system's enticement and temptations. She calmly asked, "How many people failed?"
"Hehe, not many, just a few hundred people."
With so many people involved, missions involving the immortal realm are indeed difficult to undertake. However, the high risk and high reward are also true. Qingyin stroked her chin, thinking that it wasn't impossible to do this.
As soon as the system saw Qingyin's actions, it knew she had something in mind. It flew to Qingyin and said, "Hehe, Yinyin, this task would be a problem for others, but it's not difficult for our Yinyin at all. Why don't we take it on, Yinyin?"
Qingyin thought about it for a while and decided that agreeing was a good idea.
"Alright, let's go then."
Watching Yinyin walk towards the River of Time, the guilty system trembled slightly. It seemed that it hadn't told Yinyin that its identity was random this time, but that shouldn't affect Yinyin, right?
