Yin Qingyi wandered around the room, finally fixing her gaze on a teacup. She picked it up, pinched the rim of the teacup with two fingers, and gently swiped it.
"Snap." The rim of the teacup that Yin Qingyi was holding immediately separated from the body. Looking at the neatly separated rim, Yin Qingyi was glad that she hadn't held the three children that afternoon, otherwise, if she had used force... Yin Qingyi quickly shook her head, she really couldn't imagine it.
It seems I need to control my strength first. It's okay if I don't hold them today, but if I don't hold them for several days in a row, other people won't be affected, but those three little ones will definitely cry themselves to death.
Looking at the teacup in her hand, Yin Qingyi decided to stick with it! After all, it already had one spout, so she could just have one sip. She could deal with the others later if she hadn't mastered them yet.
Then, for about an hour, Granny Qi felt that there were always faint sounds coming from inside the room, but when she listened carefully, she could not hear anything. She was worried that her mistress was crying inside because she was upset. She wanted to go in and comfort her, but she was afraid that Yin Qingyi did not want anyone to see. Granny Qi's heart was in turmoil.
So, what was Yinzhen's mood like at this moment, inside Niohuru's courtyard? Indeed, Yinzhen had come to Niohuru's courtyard. After all, she was a princess from a prominent Manchu family; if he hadn't come, people would have gossiped. As for why Yinzhen hadn't visited Fucha, another prominent Manchu family, it was because Fucha's behavior that afternoon had displeased him, and that little woman had even gotten angry with him. Yinzhen was clearly taking his anger out on her!
"Your Majesty, it's getting late." Niohuru was surprised that Yinzhen would come to her first, and she felt a little excited, with a blush on her face.
"Hmm, take a rest," Yinzhen said calmly after regaining his senses.
Not far from Niohuru's courtyard was Fucha's Orchid Courtyard. Looking at the darkened Yuhua Pavilion, Fucha's once pretty face contorted in disbelief, and the handkerchief in her hand was now a tattered mess. She couldn't understand why the master had gone to Niohuru's courtyard first. Wasn't she clearly prettier than Niohuru? Hadn't she even 'bumped into' the master this afternoon? Was she not beautiful enough? How could the master have fallen for that ugly Niohuru!
At the stroke of midnight, when all was quiet, Yin Qingyi suddenly opened her eyes. A giant peach blossom appeared before her. Yin Qingyi looked at the blossom calmly, without moving. The blossom looked familiar; it resembled her birthmark. Thinking this, Yin Qingyi reached out to touch the blossom, but her hand passed right through it, touching nothing.
But the peach blossom seemed to know that Yin Qingyi was touching it, and its petals danced lightly, as if responding to Yin Qingyi.
"So what are you doing here?" Yin Qingyi looked at the peach blossoms that she could see but not touch, somewhat puzzled. So, the changes that this peach grove brought to her were the birthmark appearing in front of her eyes and the changes in her vision, hearing, and strength?
The peach blossom seemed to tilt slightly, like a person tilting their head, then it spun around and began to sway again. As it swayed, the stamen in the center began to scatter golden specks.
As the scattered golden light fell down, it disappeared upon touching her. At first, Yin Qingyi thought these scattered points were just pretty and had no use. However, as more and more of these scattered points entered her body, Yin Qingyi clearly noticed changes in her body.
It seemed as if a stream of energy was flowing in her lower abdomen, but Yin Qingyi didn't understand what to do, so the flowing energy quickly dissipated, and then gathered again as those tiny specks entered, repeating the cycle endlessly. Yin Qingyi was puzzled and could only watch helplessly.
The peach blossom floating above Yin Qingyi seemed to know about her situation, but it did not stop, continuing to diligently scatter its golden light.
"So what's the use of all this light? Why can't you talk? It would be so much better if you could." Yin Qingyi stared at it for a few quarters of an hour, then, finally bored, she whispered to the peach blossom.
Yin Qingyi's words made the peach blossom freeze for a moment, as if it was thinking, how could there be such an unreasonable person? If a flower could talk, how could anyone live? But it only lasted for a moment, and then it continued to dutifully scatter its light.
Yin Qingyi was helpless. She really didn't know what these lights were going to do after entering her body. But she didn't want to play a game and get a tutorial. She could only figure it out herself. But there wasn't even a hint. She didn't even know which way to touch.
Yin Qingyi was no longer sleepy. Looking at the peach blossoms still scattering like stars, she got up, walked to the window, and opened it. The peach blossom followed her to the window, continuing to shower her head. A night breeze blew in, and Yin Qingyi shivered, not from the cold, but from being startled by the scene before her. The ordinary backyard of the day had become different. Yin Qingyi's Luoxue Pavilion did have a backyard, but it was very small, just behind her room. That small area had been completely filled with peach trees planted by Yinzhen—nine trees in total.
Because it was already late autumn, the leaves on the peach trees had all turned yellow and fallen, so there wasn't much to see. But right now, these nine peach trees were glowing! It wasn't very obvious, but they were definitely glowing. As the peach petals above her head scattered golden light, the peach trees outside would light up for a moment. The scene was both beautiful and eerie, and Yin Qingyi couldn't help but shiver.
Yin Qingyi didn't realize at this moment that she was wearing an undergarment, and she should have felt cold in the late autumn night wind, but she didn't feel cold at all.
Anyone else would be terrified by such a sight, but Yin Qingyi was more curious than afraid, because she had a feeling that she would understand the things she didn't understand once she entered these nine peach trees.
Thinking this, Yin Qingyi placed her hand on the windowsill and, with a burst of strength, flipped over the meter-high ledge. Looking back at the ledge that reached her chest, then at her legs, she was amazed that she had actually made it out so easily. Yin Qingyi stared incredulously at the window and then at herself, still feeling like she was dreaming. She felt as if she was about to realize her childhood dream from her previous life: to become a female knight-errant who could leap across rooftops! Thinking this, Yin Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle softly. Luckily, no one was around; otherwise, seeing a disheveled woman in white clothes in the middle of the night would have made them think they were seeing a ghost.
