"Full moon celebration? Full moon celebration... Heh, Madam Yin, I will never let you have an easy time. Just wait, once I've taken good care of you, your good days will be over!" A vicious look flashed across Madam Geng's eyes. She didn't know why, but she just couldn't stand Madam Yin. This dislike made her head spin whenever she thought of Madam Yin.
"..." Xiao Cui didn't respond, but silently walked out, a mocking smile on her lips as she turned around.
Xiao Cui always knew that her princess wasn't very bright, but so what if she wasn't? She always liked to act clever. Now, lying in bed unable to get up is the price she paid for her cleverness. And she was still thinking about the future? I'm afraid there will never be a future.
Yin Qingyi's place, which should have been the liveliest in the entire backyard, was now just like the other courtyards.
"Master, the master probably won't be coming today. You should rest early." Granny Qi looked at Yin Qingyi, who was sitting in a daze in the chair, and thought she was waiting for Yinzhen.
"Hmm? Granny, I'll sit a little longer." Yin Qingyi was puzzled, but quickly understood. She didn't deny it and continued to sit.
"Then this old servant will go and make you some more food. You ate a little less tonight, and you might get hungry in the middle of the night." Granny Qi felt sorry for her mistress. Today, the master was supposed to come to Luoxue Pavilion, but looking at the time, it seemed he wouldn't be coming. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for the master?
"Okay." Yin Qingyi nodded. It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because now that she did, she was actually a little hungry.
After Granny Qi left, only Qiu Ju and Chun Lan remained in the room, while Ming Yue and Feng Qing stood guard at the door.
Yin Qingyi frowned slightly as she thought about what Granny Qi had misunderstood. She hadn't been thinking about that. She was wondering if her brother had spoken to Yinzhen and whether he had agreed to treat her.
Now that she'd come to her senses, she understood what that old nanny's look meant—it meant she was about to fall out of favor.
Today is clearly her big day, and Yinzhen would never refuse to come. That would be a loss of face for her, and after that, how could she, as a concubine, have any prestige in the eyes of others?
What does Yinzhen mean by this? Does he not want her to be a secondary consort? Wasn't it Kangxi who issued the decree, and he requested it? So in his heart, this secondary consort should still belong to Lady Li?
Now that it's her, he's unhappy? So he's directly using this method to tell everyone that she's not his ideal concubine? Is that it?
The more Yin Qingyi thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, if she hadn't come, this year would indeed have been the year Li was to be made a secondary consort. So it was possible that Yinzhen had already secretly prepared to obtain an imperial decree for Li to be made a secondary consort, when she suddenly appeared and intercepted it, and then Yinzhen became unhappy.
Thinking this, Yin Qingyi also got angry. She had gone through a life-or-death ordeal and given birth to three children for Yinzhen, but this scoundrel abandoned her for another woman in the blink of an eye!
Looking at the round fan given to her by Yinzhen, Yin Qingyi gritted her teeth and smashed it towards the door.
"Ouch!" A cry of pain rang out from the doorway.
Yin Qingyi was startled and quickly looked over, only to see Yinzhen standing at the door with a rather unpleasant expression, and Su Peisheng covering his face and looking aggrieved...
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen awkwardly, her words slurred.
"What? Shouldn't I have come?" Yinzhen gritted his teeth. This little woman really knows how to surprise people! He had just opened the door when a dark shadow flashed by. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been the one hit.
"Heh, heh, how could that be? Master can come whenever he wants." Yin Qingyi chuckled dryly.
"Hmph, tell me, why did you throw away the round fan that I gave you?" Yinzhen recognized the round fan as the one he had sent at a glance, because he had specially commissioned a craftsman to make it. There was only one of its kind, and the painting on it was all painted by him personally.
"Well, it's a long story," Yin Qingyi said cautiously, glancing at the round fan lying quietly on the ground.
"Oh? Then tell me how you've got this long story. It's alright, I happen to have some time now, so please tell me slowly." Yinzhen picked up the fan and sat down on the chair next to Yin Qingyi, raising an eyebrow at her, just to see how this little woman would try to explain herself.
Don't think he didn't see the little woman's expression when he opened the door; she looked like a fox with its fur standing on end—so cute!
He had indeed drunk quite a bit, so after Yin Hengyi finished speaking, he didn't come to the backyard. Instead, he went back to his study, sat quietly for a while, and felt better after drinking some hangover soup before coming back.
Today was Yin Qingyi's special day, and he couldn't possibly not come; wouldn't that be letting someone else humiliate this young woman? He couldn't bear to do that. He just hadn't expected that his arrival would bring him such a wonderful gift.
"Well, I see that Master has drunk a bit too much. How about I go and get him some hangover soup first?" Yin Qingyi said as she headed towards the door.
"No need, I drank some hangover soup before coming here. Sit down and let's talk properly." Yinzhen grabbed Yin Qingyi's hand and pulled her down onto the chair next to him.
"..." Yin Qingyi really wanted to be an ostrich at this moment, and she actually did it, keeping her head down and not saying a word.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Isn't it a long story?" Yinzhen's eyes were smiling, but his tone was unreadable.
"I was wrong, please punish me, sir." Yin Qingyi thought that she might as well face the consequences anyway, so she simply closed her eyes, stood up, and knelt down.
Looking at the little woman who had knelt down at the slightest provocation, Yinzhen was truly at a loss for words. He reached out to help her up, but alas, perhaps because he had drunk quite a bit today, Yinzhen failed to pull Yin Qingyi up and almost fell down himself.
"Get up!" Yinzhen withdrew his hand and glanced around uncomfortably. Hmm, everyone was keeping their heads down, so it seemed no one had seen him.
"I am guilty and dare not rise." Yin Qingyi's voice was filled with grievance, and she remained kneeling on the ground. Although it was June, the ground was still quite cold, and in just a short while, Yin Qingyi felt a chill creep up her knees.
"Get up when I tell you to! You've only just finished your confinement period and you're already kneeling? Do you think you're in great shape? Hurry up and help your mistress up! Don't you understand that your mistress is being unreasonable?" Yinzhen spoke relatively gently to Yin Qingyi, but he was furious when he spoke to Qiuju and the others.
"Master, please get up quickly. Have you forgotten what Physician Li said? Your body can't withstand this." Qiu Ju had wanted to help her master up for a long time, but she didn't dare to because of her master's authority. Now that her master had spoken, she immediately stepped forward to help Yin Qingyi up.
