Standing outside the peach grove, Yinzhen gazed at Consort Yin, surrounded by petals, his eyes filled with infatuation. At this moment, Consort Yin seemed like a peach blossom fairy to him, breathtakingly beautiful. Behind Yinzhen, Su Peisheng and Qiuju also witnessed this scene, staring blankly at Consort Yin in the peach grove, both thinking to themselves, "Is our master (the concubine) truly a bewitching spirit? She's too beautiful."
Meanwhile, in the peach grove, Yin Qingyi closed her eyes, sensing the changes in her birthmark. She could feel that the birthmark was absorbing the energy of the peach grove. Although she didn't know what changes would occur after absorption, Yin Qingyi subconsciously knew that this would definitely be a good thing for her. Therefore, Yin Qingyi would not stop it, nor could she stop it, unless she left immediately. But why? She didn't want to leave at all; this place made her feel very comfortable.
The wind blew for a long time, so long that Yinzhen began to feel something was wrong, because the wind wasn't blowing on them, but only on Yin Qingyi in the peach grove! And just as Yinzhen realized something was wrong, the wind stopped, and the petals that had been swirling around Yin Qingyi all fell down, and the entire peach grove returned to silence.
"Qingqing." Yinzhen looked at Yin Qingyi, who was still standing in the peach grove with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but call out softly, as if afraid that if he spoke loudly, Yin Qingyi would disappear. Because at this moment, Yin Qingyi seemed to be radiating light, very faint, but there was a layer of light on Yin Qingyi. Yinzhen couldn't help but walk a few steps further in.
"Hmm." Yin Qingyi opened her eyes and looked at Yinzhen, who had walked to the edge of the peach grove, a smile playing on her lips. Yinzhen had really given her a great gift.
"Shall we go back?" Yinzhen didn't want to stay in the peach grove at all at this moment. He was beginning to regret buying the temple and even more so bringing Yin Qingyi here today.
"Why? Didn't we just arrive? The peach blossoms here are very beautiful, I like them very much, thank you for bringing me here, sir." Yin Qingyi didn't want to leave so soon. Although the peach grove was no longer of use to her, it would be a pity not to see such a beautiful sight again.
"...It'll be the same to come back later, let's go back for today?" Yinzhen pursed his lips. He had initially thought this peach grove was a rare sight, which was why he wanted to buy it as a surprise for this little woman. But now, it seemed the surprise was there, and quite successful. However, there was also a scare, for example, he was quite frightened. Now, looking at the peach grove, Yinzhen no longer found it strange, only eerie! Otherwise, why did other peach blossoms bloom in spring, while these bloomed in autumn? And these peach blossoms didn't bear fruit, wasn't that very eerie? What was he thinking when he bought this peach grove!
"But we might not be able to see them again in the future." Looking at the peach blossoms in the courtyard, Yin Qingyi had a premonition that the peach blossoms would not bloom next year, at least not in the autumn.
"Yes, I can. I'll bring you here every year at this time." Yinzhen just wanted to get this little woman away as quickly as possible, saying all sorts of things. But after today, Yinzhen wouldn't bring Yin Qingyi again. Thinking this, Yinzhen only understood what Yin Qingyi meant when she said they might not see each other again at this time next year. Unfortunately, Yinzhen didn't understand the meaning behind Yin Qingyi's words at this moment.
"Alright, let's go back then." Seeing Yinzhen like this, Yin Qingyi looked at the peach blossoms beside her with regret in her eyes. However, she had already gotten what she needed, so there was no need to stay here. She could see the peach blossoms every year. Although compared to the peach blossoms in this courtyard, the few peach trees in her yard were nothing, she still had feelings for them because she had raised them herself.
This outing ended so quickly. In just half a day, Yin Qingyi returned to her little courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard the voices of her darlings.
"It seems you've been quite a handful while I was away." Yin Qingyi and Yinzhen walked into the room together and saw that the three wet nurses who were supposed to be on duty today had been replaced by three others, so Yin Qingyi immediately knew that the three little ones had been making a fuss with the wet nurses.
"Hungry, uh." Upon hearing her mother's voice, Xiao Yue'er immediately turned around to roll over towards Yin Qingyi, but unfortunately, she wasn't on the ground, but in Granny Qi's arms, so she couldn't roll over at all.
"Oh dear, did your little darling miss you?" Yin Qingyi walked over, picked up her daughter, and rubbed her face against her daughter's.
"Ah ah!" Ertubu and Burha were being held by two wet nurses, and they were reaching out towards Yin Qingyi, making "ah ah ah" noises all the time.
"Mother doesn't have that many hands, let your father carry you." Yin Qingyi looked at her two sons, helpless, and could only push Yinzhen out.
"..." Yinzhen didn't expect Yin Qingyi to suddenly appear like this. Before he knew it, Yin Qingyi pushed him in front of his two sons. Looking at the children who had changed so much in the few months he hadn't seen them, Yinzhen didn't know how to handle them for a moment. After all, the children were only a little over a month old when he left, and now they were almost five months old. He hadn't noticed much when he glanced at them yesterday, but seeing them up close today, he found that his fourth son looked like him but even more like his father, while his fifth son looked more like Qingqing, with an incredibly delicate little face.
The two boys hadn't seen their father for several months. Yesterday, the three of them were suddenly taken away without ever seeing him. Looking at the person before them, the two little ones stopped crying and stared curiously at Yinzhen.
"Master, please hug them. You haven't been back for months. If you don't hug them soon, they might not recognize you." Yin Qingyi urged, seeing the three men staring at each other.
"...Let's forget it. What if they start crying as soon as I pick them up? I don't know how to comfort them." Yinzhen stiffened, struggling between holding them and not holding them. To be honest, he really wanted to hold them, but he was also worried that he might hurt them.
"It's alright, you can hold them. If they cry, you can give them to me." Yin Qingyi thought her sons wouldn't cry, after all, these two boys weren't shy at all.
When Yinzhen heard Yin Qingyi say this, he reached out to his fifth son. There was no way around it; this one looked the most like Qingqing, so of course he would hug this one. As for his fourth son, he looked like his father, the Emperor. He couldn't bear to imagine holding his father in his arms; just thinking about it gave him goosebumps.
Bulha didn't cry when Yinzhen held him in his arms. He just touched Yinzhen's face and body with his little hands and then laughed happily. He recognized this embrace! But he couldn't remember where he had seen this person before.
Meanwhile, Etubu, who was in the wet nurse's arms, saw that his younger siblings were all being held, but he wasn't. (Wet nurse: In the end, I've wasted my time.) He immediately pouted and was about to cry.
