Early in the morning, Yin rose and entered the inner chamber. Looking at the sleeping Qingyan, he smiled slightly, a hint of a smile appearing on his usually cold face. Apart from Kangxi and Consort Tong, only Qingyan could elicit a genuine smile from him.
Within the palace, Consort Tong and Emperor Kangxi could not always be by his side. No matter how good Consort Tong was to him, she would always consider the interests of the Tongjia clan and sometimes even sacrifice Yin's interests.
As the father of all the princes, Emperor Kangxi could not always be by his side. Therefore, he received slightly more attention than the other princes, but not as much as the crown prince. Both of these factors made Yinzhi wary of him.
In addition, Yin was schemed against by Kangxi in his previous life, and he had to suppress the existence of his legitimate son in order to gain more imperial power.
He had some unresolved issues, but Qingyan was different. She relied solely on herself. No matter how many people shared Qingyan's attention, he was the one in control of the situation.
"Su Peisheng, have Sulan prepare Xiaoguai's breakfast. Let's set off immediately!" Yin glanced at the sky outside and decided to leave with Qingyan first.
Yesterday, Fei Yanggu and his two sons did not return home, presumably because they were being entangled by Jue Luo Shi and thus did not come back directly.
"This servant will go right away!" Su Peisheng lowered his voice, his master still not fully awake.
After everything was ready, the group prepared to leave the new house.
The carriage slowly drove out of the mansion. Yin nodded and looked at her. With such a big commotion, the little one didn't react at all. He couldn't help but chuckle.
From a young age, Kangxi cultivated his cautious nature, making it impossible for him to sleep soundly when he was away from home. During the time he was away on campaign, Yinzhi would not have been so alert if Qingyan hadn't been in his arms.
"Hmm..." Halfway through the journey, Qingyan groggily opened her eyes. She felt as if she were on a boat, swaying back and forth.
The bright yellow ceiling immediately put her on edge.
"Little darling, you're awake?" Yin kissed her forehead. She groggily got up, and Yin used the toiletries that Ma Che Pang had prepared to wash her, which made her feel much better.
Once she regained consciousness, she realized they had headed towards the place where she had screamed.
"Where are we going?" Qingyan was puzzled. Why was Yin Xiumu, who was staying in the study reading, running out instead?
"Didn't you say you wanted to harvest lotus roots?" Yin remembered that Qingyan had always been bothered by this matter. Last summer, Xiao Guai's wish was not fulfilled because of the delay.
To fulfill her wish, Yin had pleaded with Kangxi countless times. He even agreed to many unequal treaties. Now that she was finally free, he would definitely let her have some fun.
Let's deal with the Jue Luo clan's matter after they've had their fun.
"Didn't Father and Ah Hun come back?" Qingyan pouted. Fei Yanggu and E Shuo had promised her they would come out together.
Yin stroked Qingyan's hair. The two of them should cherish each other and cultivate their relationship. At the very least, they should stay together for decades to come. E'shuo and the others can only spend more time with her now.
“They don’t have any days off; they need to work,” Yin reassured Qingyan.
Qingyan lowered her head and asked, "Really?"
Fang Jue Luo Shi has always been Qing Yan's biggest worry. She is afraid that Fei Yang Gu will abandon her for the benefit of the Ulanara family.
"Fourth Uncle is off tomorrow, he'll come directly over tonight." Yin gave Su Peisheng a signal, urging him to quickly inform Fei Yanggu that he was coming to the villa tonight, and that the little guy absolutely couldn't be upset again.
Qingyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Yin's answer; her father still put her first.
"Let's start with breakfast." Yin picked up the ivory hairpin and fed Qingyan. The breakfast on the table was all prepared by Sulan herself.
After returning from the expedition, Qingyan's eating habits gradually changed. Imperial Physician Yuan made a detailed list. In the past, Qingyan was very picky about food and would not eat many things. Now, Sulan masked the taste of them so that Qingyan would eat them without noticing.
Yin happily ate her breakfast. He took out a pocket watch from Yin's purse and glanced at it coldly. It wasn't even her usual time to wake up yet.
"Why did you wake me up so early again?" Qingyan was very particular about sleep, and Imperial Physician Yuan felt that she was sleeping a bit too much.
"You're just lazy. Physician Yuan said you sleep too much and should gradually reduce it." As Qingyan gets older, Physician Yuan is not only taking care of her health but also slowly helping her adjust her lifestyle.
Qingyan is a good girl who goes to bed early and gets up early. According to modern habits, her sleep time is less than that of a junior high school student.
"Sleeping more will make you grow taller!" Qingyan muttered softly.
Upon hearing this, Yin frowned. Where did she get such twisted logic from, that she had to apply it to her?
"Who told you that?" Qingyan drinks a glass of milk every morning and evening, which has already attracted a lot of attention.
In the Qing Dynasty, milk was extremely precious. After hearing about the special customs of Qing banquets, Emperor Kangxi personally issued an edict allowing Fei Yanggu to raise dairy cows in his villa. As a subject, this was an immense honor.
"It's mentioned in a book, in a collection of miscellaneous notes. You should drink too!" In Qingyan's space, dairy cows were kept. When Yin was there, the space had not yet reached level 3.
"Fine, I'll drink it when I get back," Yin replied helplessly.
The menu for Qingyan's meals has been presented to Emperor Kangxi for his review. The princesses in the palace have begun to use this menu to improve their health. Imperial Physician Yuan plans to use Qingyan as a test subject.
Afterwards, Yin lost his temper with Imperial Physician Yuan. Qingyan's health was better than that of an average person, but it absolutely could not be ruined so easily.
"Sisi, when will we arrive?" Picking lotus roots at the lotus pond was Qingyan's wish.
Today, in the imperial villas, only the lotus pond in Changchun Garden is in full bloom, which was also within the territory of the Yuanmingyuan Garden, which was destroyed in later generations.
"Another hour has passed!" Yin thought of the Yuanmingyuan in later generations, the place where he had devoted countless efforts, which was destroyed by foreign powers. Yin was really unwilling.
Starting with Emperor Qianlong, the emperors after him were mostly mediocre. The most crucial years of development were wasted by Hongwu, who became arrogant and conceited due to excessive flattery.
At this moment, Yin's heart was filled with turmoil. He decided that he would protect his eldest son for the rest of his life and would never allow the fourth son to be selected.
Niu Hulu's...
That woman was a very good actress. Back then, if Honghui hadn't died young, Yin would never have chosen Hong.
Later, when the cause of Honghui's death was discovered, his health had already deteriorated, and Honghui's path had been paved by him. At that time, he was at his most frustrated.
However, Niohuru could only be the Empress Dowager. Compared with her mother, the Empress Dowager, apart from what Hongzhi gave her, the rest of the burial gifts were not as good as those given to Empress Xiaojingxian.
"Fourth Brother, Lianhua is a good thing, he's a treasure from head to toe," Qingyan murmured softly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
