"Go to Luoxue Pavilion." Yinzhen was exhausted after spending the whole day in the palace, but the thought of that little woman being so angry that she wouldn't even eat made him restless. If he didn't go see that little woman, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
"My lord, it's this late, I'm sure Consort Yin has already retired for the night. You won't see anything if you go now." Su Peisheng hurriedly whispered his advice, inwardly he was really furious with Geng Shi. She had only just been released and she was already causing trouble; she was no good person.
"I'll go check on her. If she's rested, I'll come back." Yinzhen had already reached the door, and Su Peisheng had no choice but to follow.
The master was busy all day, and so was he. He was exhausted and just wanted to come back and rest, but who would have thought that something like this would happen? Su Peisheng hunched over his aching back and had already blacklisted Geng Shi in his mind. Unless Geng Shi suddenly hit the jackpot and gained the master's favor, Su Peisheng would definitely make her pay.
When Yinzhen arrived at Luoxue Pavilion, he thought it would be as Su Peisheng had said, that the lights had already been turned off and people had gone to bed. However, from a distance, Yinzhen saw that Luoxue Pavilion was still brightly lit. His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace. Su Peisheng had to jog to keep up with him.
Su Peisheng also noticed that the lights in Luoxuexuan were still on, and he was shocked. Could it be that Princess Yin had been angered to the point of having an accident?
But as he got closer, Yinzhen heard faint laughter coming from inside, and he stopped in his tracks. What was going on?
"Master..." Little Jinzi, who was guarding the door, spotted Yinzhen and ran out to speak.
Yinzhen raised his hand to signal, and Xiao Jinzi shut up.
Su Peisheng understood and pulled Xiao Jinzi over.
"Master?" Little Jin asked in a low voice.
"What are you princesses doing right now?" Yinzhen asked, hearing the occasional laughter drifting out from inside.
"The princess is playing chess with the nannies and the others," Xiao Jinzi answered truthfully. He didn't know the difference between Gomoku and Go, he only knew that the princess was playing chess.
"Play chess?" Yinzhen was very skeptical. This little woman could play chess?
"Mm." Little Gold nodded.
"Has your princess had dinner tonight? Why isn't she asleep yet?" Yinzhen didn't dwell on that; what he cared about now was whether this little woman was truly angry.
"Reporting to Your Highness, today the Princess went out happily, wanting to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the other princesses, but she returned in a huff not long after. She ate a little something hastily and then went to bed, sleeping until the end of Hai hour (9-11 PM). After waking up to stay up for the New Year, she couldn't fall back asleep, so she dragged the nannies and the others to play." Little Jinzi immediately understood that his master knew what had happened today and had come to see the Princess specifically. So he just needed to embellish his story a little and tell his master what he had seen. After all, he hadn't been there and didn't know anything. He was just stating what he had witnessed.
"Then have Granny Qi prepare some more food for your princesses later. After they eat, they should go to bed early and not stay up too late." After saying this, Yinzhen turned to leave, but then thought for a moment and turned back. "Don't tell your princesses that I came."
"Yes, this servant understands. Respectfully seeing off Master." Xiao Jinzi was very happy, but he couldn't show it. He still bowed to Yinzhen properly.
After Yinzhen walked away, Xiao Jinzi returned to the door and continued to guard it, and she really didn't go in to say anything, but whether she would say anything later was unknown.
Let's talk about this side.
On his way back from Luoxue Pavilion, Yinzhen happened to pass by Geng's courtyard. At this moment, Geng's courtyard was already dark and gloomy. Yinzhen's anger rose up instantly.
That little woman is so angry with you that she can't sleep or eat, while you sleep soundly. In that case, you might as well just keep sleeping from now on.
"Su Peisheng, starting tomorrow, let Geng Shi claim to be ill. Also, tomorrow I don't want to hear any more of Geng Shi's comments about Yin Shi from today." After saying this, Yinzhen returned to the front yard without glancing at Geng Shi's courtyard again.
"Yes," Su Peisheng replied softly, knowing in his heart that the Geng family had absolutely no chance.
So when Geng claimed to be ill and didn't leave the house the next day, everyone thought that she knew she had been reckless the day before and that's why she claimed to be ill. But by noon, everyone realized that Geng's words from the day before were as if they had never been mentioned. No one dared to whisper about it. They knew that their master must have known and taken action. They really didn't know whether Geng's claim of illness was her own idea or something their master had ordered.
When Yin Qingyi woke up this morning and learned that Geng Shi had claimed to be ill, she knew that it was Yinzhen who had done it. Xiao Jinzi had already hinted at Yinzhen's visit last night, since he had come to remind Granny Qi to make some late-night snacks for Yin Qingyi.
"Has the princess's anger subsided?" Granny Qi asked Yin Qingyi with a smile.
"Hmph, this Geng woman is acting like she's taken the wrong medicine. Ever since I entered the manor, she's been targeting me. I don't know what I did to offend her, and now she's ruined herself." Yin Qingyi wasn't angry at all; Geng woman's current state was entirely deserved. She wondered if Geng woman in this world would even live to a ripe old age.
Geng's claim of illness immediately silenced the restless women in the backyard. They should just enjoy the New Year properly instead of making themselves unable to leave the courtyard.
So thanks to Yinzhen, Yin Qingyi had a pretty good year; at least no one bothered her.
The Fujin knew what had happened in the backyard. She was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood, but she had to hold back. It was the New Year, and it was not appropriate to do anything shady. Besides, she really didn't have the time to do it. She had to leave home at dawn and didn't return until dusk. She didn't have the time or energy to deal with these things. She decided to wait until after the New Year to deal with everything.
The New Year holiday passed in the blink of an eye, and Yin Qingyi had gained a lot of weight. Her face had become much rounder, but it was only her face that showed that she had gained weight. It seemed that all the weight on her body had gone to her belly. In just half a month, her already large belly had grown even bigger, making her look almost like an eight-month pregnant woman.
So when Yinzhen saw this little woman again after not seeing her for half a month, he was also shocked by her unusually large belly.
"How did it get so big?" Yinzhen carefully helped Yin Qingyi walk, his heart pounding with fear as he looked at her large belly.
"This is how it should be for a third pregnancy." Yin Qingyi wasn't sure if her belly was considered big for triplets. She asked Granny Qi, who said it was normal. The royal physician also came to check and said it was normal, so she felt a little relieved.
