"Really... Oh, Master Yin's appetite has increased recently. The imperial physician examined her and said that Master Yin's pregnancy is likely multiple." Su Peisheng wanted to say that there was really nothing wrong, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. This master was probably asking about that person. Sure enough, when the master mentioned that person, his eyes were obviously different.
"What? Does Your Highness Yin feel unwell?" Yinzhen was initially pleased to hear that his appetite had increased, but upon hearing that it was another multiple pregnancy, he was immediately shocked and stood up from his seat.
"This servant returned to the manor today and saw that Mistress Yin is in good condition. She is not as uncomfortable as she was when she was pregnant with the Fourth and Fifth Princes." Su Peisheng returned to the manor every day to inquire about his mistress's condition.
"That's good. No, I still need to go back and check before I can feel at ease." Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried. After saying that, he walked towards the door, but not towards the palace gates. Instead, he walked towards Kangxi's bedroom.
Hall of Mental Cultivation
"The fourth prince has come to see me?" Kangxi raised an eyebrow in surprise. Wasn't the fourth prince supposed to be swamped with work? How come he has time to visit me today?
"Yes, they said they wanted to check if you've recovered your health," Liang Jiugong said with a smile.
"Yes, let him in," Kangxi said, putting down the memorial he was holding.
Not long after Liang Jiugong left, he brought Yinzhen in.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be well!" Yinzhen bowed upon entering.
"Rise, there's no need for formalities between you and me, father and son." Kangxi smiled, his voice still quite strong.
"Yes, Father Emperor, how have you been lately?" Yinzhen asked with concern as he stood up.
"Hmm, much better, but you don't look so good to me. How come you've lost so much weight?" Kangxi nodded and then looked at Yinzhen knowingly.
"Your Majesty is foolish. Your Majesty has entrusted me with the affairs of state, and I dare not slack off. I can only be more careful than ever, which is why things have turned out this way." Yinzhen said with a look of shame on his face.
"You have done very well, there is no need to belittle yourself." Kangxi praised Yinzhen in this way. Although he was recuperating from his illness, he was not unaware of what Yinzhen had been doing these days. He knew what he needed to know, and he had done a very good job. He was indeed worthy of being the person he had chosen.
“Father, I think it’s almost the end of the year, so why don’t you…” Yinzhen said cautiously, looking at Kangxi.
"You want me to take back control of the government?" Kangxi saw through Yinzhen's thoughts at a glance, but it was precisely because he saw through him that Kangxi was surprised. How could the power that everyone wanted seem like a hot potato in the hands of the fourth prince? Thinking this, Kangxi couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes." Yinzhen nodded. It wasn't that he didn't covet the power, but he was already illegitimate and there was really no need for him to stay.
"Alright, then you can go back. From tomorrow onwards, you don't need to concern yourself with state affairs." Kangxi nodded and said quite readily.
"Yes! Then I will take my leave. Father Emperor, please take care of yourself! Don't overwork yourself." Yinzhen immediately put on a smile, and as he left, he did not forget to remind him to take care of his health, as if he was afraid that his father would not take care of himself and then make him manage state affairs.
"Go away, go away," Kangxi said with a laugh, shooing Yinzhen away.
After Yinzhen left, Kangxi watched the direction Yinzhen had gone, and the smile on his face never faded.
"Liang Jiugong, this fourth prince is indeed different. I was right about him," Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong beside him, his voice full of satisfaction.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's excellent upbringing," Liang Jiugong said with a forced smile.
"You're good at saying nice things," Kangxi said, pointing at Liang Jiugong.
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yinzhen quickly left the palace and rode back to his Prince's Mansion. Yes, because Emperor Kangxi valued Yinzhen, his Prince's Mansion was quickly cleared out by the Ministry of Works, all so that Yinzhen could move into a Prince's residence before the end of the year.
Without even glancing at the brand-new mansion, Yinzhen dismounted and headed straight for Luoxue Pavilion.
At this moment, in Luoxue Pavilion, Yin Qingyi looked at the table full of food, and to be honest, she didn't really want to eat.
"Why isn't Your Highness eating? Didn't you just say you were starving?" Granny Naqi asked, puzzled as she looked at Yin Qingyi, who wasn't eating.
"Granny, hehe, I don't want to eat these anymore." Yin Qingyi smiled awkwardly.
"...Didn't you just say you wanted to eat these?" Granny Naqi was helpless. These past few days, her mistress had been so difficult to please. She would want to eat one thing after another, but after it was prepared and served, she would no longer want to eat it. She really didn't know what to do.
"Granny~" Yin Qingyi said coquettishly, holding Granny Naqi's hand.
"Alright, alright, tell me, what do you want to eat now?" What could Granny Qi do? Of course, she'd spoil him. Could she possibly let him go hungry?
"Hehe, Granny is the best! I want to eat hot pot! I won't change my mind this time, really, just thinking about hot pot makes my mouth water." Yin Qingyi said, making a slurping sound, she was really craving it.
"It seems you've been doing quite well these past few days," Yinzhen said with a smile after hearing Yin Qingyi's voice from outside the door, lifting the curtain to enter.
"Why are you back?" Yin Qingyi was a little confused when she saw Yinzhen suddenly appear. Wasn't he supposed to be extremely busy in the palace?
"What? Don't you want me to come back?" Yinzhen's smile vanished, and he looked at Yin Qingyi with a stern face.
"No, it's just that I heard from Su Peisheng that you were busy. I didn't expect you to come back so suddenly. Have you eaten?" Yin Qingyi was not at all intimidated by Yinzhen's sternness and asked naturally.
"Not yet. I came out as soon as I had a free moment, and came straight here when I got back. I didn't have time to eat." Seeing that he hadn't scared her, Yinzhen's expression softened. He washed his hands in warm water and warmed them on the brazier for a while before taking Yin Qingyi's hand.
"Then have some with me. Do you want some of this on the table? If not, just wait for the food to be cooked." Yin Qingyi nodded and pointed to the food on the table.
"Why aren't you eating these? Don't you like them? Did they bother you?" Yinzhen, who hadn't heard the first few sentences, looked at the table full of dishes and asked with some concern.
"No, it's just that these two little ones are too picky eaters. They want to eat too many things, so these are what they wanted to eat half an hour ago. Now they don't want to eat these anymore, they want to eat hot pot." Yin Qingyi shrugged after saying that. She was also helpless. Fortunately, Yinzhen was rich, otherwise, who could afford to gorge themselves like this?
"...So you're just two greedy little devils, causing all this trouble. But it's fine if they bother others, just don't bother your mother! Otherwise, come out and see how your father will beat you!" Yinzhen was also helpless, but seeing that the little woman's expression was still relatively good, it meant that the two children were bothering others, so it was acceptable. As long as they didn't bother this little woman, it was fine for them to bother others.
