Chapter 139 Pitch-pot and Ink Marks



"Your Highness, Consort Nian requests that a renowned physician surnamed Su be brought into the garden." Su Peisheng followed behind Yinzhen, speaking as he walked, his voice extremely low. "He is a renowned physician that Second Master Nian found in Sichuan, and he is said to specialize in gynecology."

"What's your background?" Yinzhen asked expressionlessly.

"I sent someone to investigate, but there has been no reply yet," Su Peisheng replied.

Yinzhen paused for a moment, then continued walking: "Where is he now?"

"Your Highness, we have already entered Rehe," Su Peisheng said in an even lower voice.

Yinzhen sneered, "Since you're already here, come in." He paused, "Arrange for the physician to stay outside the garden, and have two eunuchs accompany him."

“Yes, sir,” Su Peisheng replied.

Yinzhen then asked, "Where is Tulichen?"

"This servant will immediately send someone to inform Lord Tu," Su Peisheng said hastily.

Yinzhen nodded, but said, "There's no need for him to come. Have him arrange two guards to take good care of Doctor Su."

"twitter."

As they were talking, Yinzhen had already entered the Pianyun Shujuan Palace. However, he did not see Green Willow and the others guarding outside the door. He paused for a moment and asked the little eunuch in the corridor, "Where is your Master Qian?"

"Your Highness, Master Qian has gone to Fanglanqi."

Yinzhen turned and headed towards Fanglanqi. But before he even got close, he heard laughter coming from inside the house, mixed with the distinctive "ga ga ga" laughter of Foerguochun. Just hearing these sounds, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile.

Su Peisheng secretly observed Yinzhen's expression and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing it.

Thank goodness, after a whole day, the prince has finally shown some signs of improvement.

Su Peisheng served Yinzhen closely, so he naturally knew and saw more than others. He was also tight-lipped, knowing what he should and shouldn't say, but even when it came to things that should be said, there were very few people he could share them with.

Because Yinzhen spent the most time with Qian Shengyan, Su Peisheng also became familiar with Aunt Qingxue, who served the former concubine. In addition, Qingxue came from the palace and was loyal to the prince and the concubine, so Su Peisheng gradually became more willing to talk to her about things.

At this moment, Yinzhen went inside, and Su Peisheng saw Qingxue standing at the door, so he stopped and waited outside with her.

Seeing the smiles on Qingxue's face, he gestured towards the inside and asked, "What is Master Qian doing?"

Qingxue rolled her eyes at him: "Since we can't go in, of course we can't let you know."

"Sigh, I tell you everything, and you've become wary of me." Su Peisheng feigned regret. "There was something I wanted to tell you today..."

Qingxue didn't believe him at all, and just watched him laugh. Su Peisheng had no choice but to tell the story of Doctor Su.

"Consort Nian... what is this?" Qingxue gestured to her abdomen. Su Peisheng raised his eyebrows and nodded. Seeing Qingxue's surprised expression, Su Peisheng said "Hey!" and waved his hand, everything was understood without words.

In return, Qingxue told Su Peisheng what was happening inside: "Master is playing pitch-pot with the Fourth Prince."

Su Peisheng: ?

"No, it's just pitch-pot, why would I make you stand guard outside?" Su Peisheng asked, puzzled.

Qingxue only gave him a mysterious smile, without giving a direct answer.

Inside the room, Yinzhen couldn't help but frown as soon as he entered, but then a smile appeared on his lips: "What are you doing?"

With a turtle drawn on his face by ink, Hongli looked up at him with a pitiful expression: "Father..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? I didn't bully you. Even though I lost, I let you draw me!" Qian Shengyan, with three dark lines on her forehead, said angrily, hands on her hips. When she saw Yinzhen looking over, she knew she was embarrassed and quickly turned her face to the side to bow, "Why did you suddenly come, Your Highness?"

“If Your Majesty doesn’t come soon…” Yinzhen glanced around and noticed that even the chubby face of the boy sitting to the side, Foerguochun, had been marked with a line. He was speechless for a moment before continuing, “You’ll be in trouble with three tabby cats.”

"Meow meow meow! Hahahaha..." Folgochun laughed again, pointing to her dark cheeks, overjoyed.

Yinzhen: ...

Qian Shengyan refused to admit defeat: "Wait a minute, this round isn't over yet! Hongli, it's your turn, hurry up!"

Hongli was in high spirits; he had won the last round! He was very proud that his mother could draw a line on his forehead!

And so, right in front of Yinzhen, the two continued to play pitch-pot. Qian Shengyan, as an adult, showed no mercy to the three-year-old Hongli, her eyes full of seriousness and unwillingness to admit defeat.

Yinzhen, left standing to the side: ...

Okay, okay...

After watching this round of pitch-pot, there was almost no suspense; Qian Shengyan won. Hongli puffed out his cheeks and held his head high as Qian Shengyan tapped the tip of his nose, and a black nose immediately appeared.

Qian Shengyan laughed happily, and Foerguochun also laughed heartily. Hongli, who was initially a little angry and unwilling to admit defeat, soon couldn't help but laugh too, his little face covered in ink stains as he chuckled merrily.

Yinzhen also laughed.

He suddenly felt that Qian Shengyan was not bad either. Even though she was a young child, she was an independent person and should be treated with an equal attitude. That way, even if she lost, it would be because she was not as good as him and would not cause trouble.

If we always give in and tolerate others, what kind of children will we raise?

"Father, Father!" Hongli's voice made Yinzhen turn around. He looked over and saw the small figure: "Hmm?"

"Father, would you like to play with us?" Hongli invited enthusiastically. He always lost! It was so infuriating! If we brought one more person to play, maybe he wouldn't lose anymore.

Yinzhen gave him a meaningful look, then looked at Qian Shengyan, who immediately raised her hands in surrender: "This concubine is withdrawing, this concubine is no longer playing!"

"No! No, no! Mother wants to play too!"

Qian Shengyan: ...

Foerguochun clapped his hands happily and shouted, "Eh! Eh play! Ama play! Play gaga!"

Qian Shengyan: ...

Although the result was that Hongli was played very badly, Qian Shengyan was also very miserable!

Her face was dark (not in terms of expression, but in terms of skin tone), but when she smiled, she revealed a set of bright white teeth, which made Yinzhen unable to help but chuckle.

Of the four family members, only Yinzhen's face was clean. Qian Shengyan, driven by malice, grabbed a calligraphy brush and pounced on Yinzhen, even shouting for Hongli to help massage his legs—unfortunately, Hongli dared not. Qian Shengyan had barely swung the brush when Yinzhen countered, and now even the back of her hand was blackened.

Fortunately, despite their playful antics, the family still maintained a proper appearance when going out. After washing up, Yinzhen and Qian Shengyan had dinner at Fanglanqi, and then took Hongli and Fuerguochun for a stroll before going back to sleep.

And that night...

Yinzhen seemed to have found a new source of amusement and began to paint on Qian Shengyan's body. Qian Shengyan was itchy and uncomfortable from the painting, and although she wanted to struggle, her hands and feet were held down, so she could only keep begging for mercy...

The next day, Qian Shengyan had just gotten up when she heard that Nian had invited Geng to go see the miracle doctor together.
