The study in the front yard.
After seeing off the imperial family officials who came to offer their congratulations, Yinzhen picked up his brush, intending to write something while calming his mind.
Ever since Emperor Kangxi's judgment that he was "reckless and capricious," Yinzhen practiced calligraphy every day to temper his mind.
Today, however, I was unusually distracted. My brush hovered in the air, and the ink fell, ruining a calligraphy work that was almost finished.
The princess consort, dressed in red, was so vibrant and beautiful that she seemed to be standing right in front of me.
"Su Peisheng, how is the Fujin (princess's wife) doing?"
Seeing that his master's tone was unusual, Su Peisheng answered even more cautiously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, after the full moon banquet, Consort Ulanara stayed alone for half an hour. When she left, she gave the gatekeeper a double reward, so she must have been very happy to see Prince Honghui."
"Go to your mistress's courtyard and tell her that I will be there tonight."
"Yes." Su Peisheng thought to himself, the main wife is likely to live a long life. He originally thought it was already difficult to give birth to the eldest son of the legitimate wife, but he did not expect that she would win the master's heart.
Yu Xiao was overjoyed when she received the message from the eunuch in the main courtyard. She couldn't hide her happiness: "Madam, Eunuch Su has come to say that His Majesty will come to see you and Prince Honghui tonight."
Granny Chen smiled ambiguously: "This is a good thing. Prince Honghui also needs the help of his younger siblings."
Previously, the master would only come to the main courtyard on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month and on important days as stipulated by the ancestors. Now that the princess has just finished her confinement period, the master couldn't wait to come. Whether it's because of Prince Honghui or not, it's a good thing.
Yi Hua almost laughed. She had just given birth, and these people were already planning her next one. No wonder people here don't live long; there has to be at least a two-year interval between two children to ensure it's harmless to the mother.
The idea of having two children in three years sounds joyous, but in reality, it means the mother is risking her life to raise the children.
Yi Hua thought to herself that Hong Hui was enough for her.
However, since Yinzhen was coming, she couldn't turn him away; she had to work hard to make a place for herself in his heart.
After all, she might not be his favorite woman, but Honghui had to be the son he cherished most!
Seeing that Honghui was still kicking his legs and playing by himself, Yihua pinched his little cheek.
My little chubby boy, your father is coming to see you, aren't you happy?
When you grow up, you'll be even closer to your mother, you know? Your father has several sons. Thinking of this, Yihua was a little unhappy and used a little more force on her hand.
Honghui thought his mother was communicating with him, so he opened his mouth wide and made "ah ah" sounds, not knowing what he wanted to share.
"Yu Xiao, tell the kitchen to add a serving of sweet soup. We'll serve it when the master arrives." Yi Hua thought for a moment. She remembered that Yinzhen had unique tastes and liked sweets.
The historical records must be true, right? Yi Hua thought it would be a good day to verify it, hoping to achieve some success by catering to his interests.
As soon as the sun set, Yinzhen led Su Peisheng to the main courtyard gate.
Yi Hua, dressed in a light purple casual outfit, greeted the guests with a smile. Large orchids were spread out, and one could almost smell their fragrance just by looking at them.
Yinzhen reached out and helped Yihua up: "Princess Consort, there's no need for such formalities, please rise."
After saying that, Yinzhen took Yihua's hand and went into the inner room.
Yi Hua subtly observed Yin Zhen; this was the first time in a long time that she had seriously looked at this highly controversial emperor in later generations.
He was thin but upright, and although he was only in his twenties, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were dark and bright. When he looked at you, it was as if he could read the secrets in your heart.
With extremely thin lips and slightly pursed corners, he naturally has a serious and stern appearance. In short, he can be summarized in one sentence.
He, Yinzhen, was born with a bad temper and was not someone to be trifled with.
Yi Hua suddenly wanted to laugh when she thought of this. It was a bit of a mix-up. It was all because of those short videos from her previous life that had seriously brainwashed her.
"What are you laughing at, Consort?" Yinzhen released Yihua's hand and sat down to drink tea.
He took only one sip, frowned, and put the tea down: "What kind of tea are you drinking?"
"Milk tea." Yi Hua moved the cup away. "I think goat milk has a strong smell, so I added these dried fruits and boiled it together. It has a unique rustic flavor. It's normal that Your Highness doesn't like it. Yu Xiao, bring me some tea leaves."
"No need." Yinzhen took another sip, the faint sweetness filling his taste buds, a flavor he liked.
She found the white sugar in that cup too sweet, but Yinzhen actually thought it was quite good. He really does like sweets.
Yi Hua thought to herself, "This aloof, icy guy is actually a sweet-loving young master, and quite cute. What should I do?"
***
Admire a gentleman under the moon, admire a beauty under the lamp.
The cool moonlight shone through the shop window, where the Fourth Master, with his crescent-shaped hair, sat upright, drinking milk tea.
Yi Hua couldn't help but look at the top of Yin Zhen's head, where there was a thin layer of almost invisible stubble.
There seemed to be a tiny bit of reflection. Yi Hua checked it several times and thought to herself.
Yinzhen looked at Yihua, who was leaning back, with a smile in his eyes. The cold, hard corners of his mouth that he remembered were now slightly upturned, making people want to get closer and kiss her.
"This outfit looks good. Tomorrow, I'll have Su Peisheng open the storeroom and get you a few more bolts of silk in different colors. You can choose which ones to make clothes from." Yinzhen reached out and gently stroked Yihua's cheek, then moved his hand down suggestively.
The maids, servants, and eunuchs in the room all discreetly withdrew, and the shadows of the two people on the gauze window gradually intertwined.
Before Yi Hua's time travel, she had never had a married life, and her awkward and clumsy reactions only aroused Yin Zhen's interest even more.
When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Yi Hua lay panting with vacant eyes. Yin Zhen patted her shoulder reassuringly: "It's not the first time, why are you still embarrassed?"
Yi Hua's cheeks were flushed, half from holding back her anger and half from embarrassment. She glared at him when she heard this.
