Chapter 174 Returning to the Capital



Highly recommended:

Inside Changchun Garden, Emperor Kangxi was processing memorials in his study, while Li Dequan paced back and forth, preparing some delicious food for the twins as ordered by Kangxi.

The imperial kitchen staff were notified a week in advance that the twins had returned. The servants of the Imperial Household Department also heard the news and quickly discussed whether to take action against Yiken'e.

After Consort Uya was banished to the Cold Palace, the Imperial Household Department sent a talented young lady to the palace for selection. Emperor Kangxi accepted her, but none of them gained his favor, and none of them could reach the level of Consort De.

"Li Dequan has arranged for the imperial kitchen to prepare food for the babies, and forbids anyone from harming the twins." Kangxi discovered that after Yin brought the twins to the capital, some people were getting restless.

During the Golden Festival, many people will come to Changchun Garden, and the wives of officials will pay special attention to the twins.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has already brought the young prince and princess over!" Li Dequan whispered a few words to Xiao Sula and quickly reported back.

Kangxi quickly put down his vermilion brush, turned to look at Li Dequan and said, "Bring all the things prepared for the children over, let's go and deliver them together!"

Yiken'e was unhappy. Kangxi originally intended to bring the twins back to the capital, but Yinzhen insisted on obstructing him and put forward some ideas, so Kangxi was forced to agree.

Kangxi, accompanied by Li Dequan and his entourage, left the study and stepped into Consort Tong's courtyard. They heard laughter coming from the room, where Yiken'e was still talking about the interesting things that happened during the expedition.

When Yinhe and Yiken'e went on expeditions, Kangxi was extremely worried, and even had nightmares that kept him awake all night.

"Grandpa!" Yiken'e, who was on Consort Tong's lap, saw Kangxi enter the courtyard and quickly jumped off her lap to the ground, rushing towards Kangxi.

Kangxi was very happy. He opened his arms and hugged Yiken'e tightly. He stood up and spun around in the air a few times.

"My grandson!" Kangxi said, disregarding the presence of others, and kissed Yiken'e on one cheek.

"Alright, look at you two, grandfather and grandson. You haven't even done anything yet, and you're already getting all lovey-dovey!" Consort Tong, holding Hutulifengshengzhalafen, sat in her seat and watched Kangxi and Yiken'e's behavior, quickly shaking her head.

After Yinzhi and his wife and daughters bowed, Kangxi generously waved his hand, inviting them to sit down.

"This shows how close they are!" Emperor Kangxi was very happy about their return.

Yin and Yin enjoyed Kangxi's nagging; being away from home certainly worried their parents.

"In a little while, Consort Hui will also be here. Let's have dinner in the flower hall. Yin is finally back. Consort Hui will be very happy to see him." Consort Tong specially sent someone to invite Consort Hui early on.

"Sure!" Kangxi nodded. Consort Hui's nameplate had already been taken away. She had reached the required age, and without Kangxi's decree, the Imperial Household Department had directly taken away her nameplate.

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhi; the details in the secret memorial clearly indicated that he was being prepared to have Yinzhi reimburse him.

"Now that there are no outsiders, Fourth Prince, should the Ministry of Revenue prepare the list of light meals you've made, or should the Yuelai Inn prepare them, with the Ministry of Revenue personally providing the funds?!" Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen and his wife. As long as the young couple had calculated it, the imperial family wouldn't be short of such a small amount of money.

"Prepare to transfer them from Jiangnan, Father Emperor, give them the money." Yin was very annoyed by people causing trouble behind his back. This time, Yinqi and the others really caught him off guard.

"Hmm, when you return, take the silver with you." Kangxi was very satisfied. If the Ministry of Revenue were to prepare the supplies themselves, it might take a very long time. In order to ensure that Yin received the winter provisions as soon as possible in case of emergency, he decided to give him the silver directly.

Consort Tong frowned slightly upon hearing Kangxi's words. Yinqi seemed alright, but under the instigation of Yinsi and Yin, he had indeed done some wrong things.

"Fourth Prince, did Yinqi really take your things away?!" Consort Tong glanced at Yin and quickly asked.

Yin smiled bitterly. No one believed that Yinqi would do such a thing, and neither did he. But things didn't go as planned, and he really did it.

"My God, what is this brat up to?!" Consort Tong frowned. Consort Yi had been very restless lately, and even the Empress Dowager was putting pressure on Consort Tong, repeatedly warning her that Yin must marry a concubine.

"Mother... I can handle it!" Yin smiled, not wanting to put Consort Tong in a difficult position.

Emperor Kangxi gently squeezed Consort Tong's hand, signaling her not to pay any attention to it.

"The Empress Dowager has been keeping an eye on the Fourth Prince's backyard. My dear, your mother has blocked the selection of concubines for you. If it's the Golden Festival, the Empress Dowager will summon you to Cining Palace alone, saying she wants to give you someone to serve you as a reward. Just refuse." Kangxi pointed to Consort Tong and said. Those concubines were all candidates from various Mongol tribes. Kangxi would never allow his son to be implicated by these women.

"Yes, Father, I understand!" Qingyan quickly stood up and said.

Yin Genjueluo was relieved to have concubines in her harem. Since Yin did not intend to take them to the military port, the Empress Dowager could not cause trouble.

"Songkelirha, come here to Mafa!" Kangxi stopped the twins and glanced at Songkelirha.

This trip allowed the little girl to see some of the world, and she became much bolder when greeting him, even able to meet his gaze.

"It's good to let the children see the world, but their studies must not be neglected!" Emperor Kangxi valued the education of his offspring, so he specially assigned some homework when the twins and Songkri Yierha went out.

"Yes, grandson understands!" The three children bowed respectfully to Kangxi.

A moment later, Consort Hui, dressed in a royal blue palace gown and wearing flowerpot-shaped shoes, entered the courtyard. After the group exchanged greetings, Lady Yin Genjueluo kept staring at Yin's family.

"Mother, we are all well!" Since Yin went to the military camp, apart from many holidays, only Lady Yingenjueluo was able to enter the palace to pay her respects to Consort Hui. Now that the whole family has gone outside, the concubines who remain in the capital are not qualified to pay their respects. For several months, Consort Hui could only stay in the palace in silence.

Consort Hui's eyes welled up with tears. The Yin family members had lost a lot of weight, and Consort Hui was somewhat worried.

“It’s normal for a child to lose weight when traveling.” Kangxi noticed Consort Hui’s expression and quickly advised her. “Now that you’re back, you should stay at Changchun Garden for the next few days, and let Yin’s family stay there as well.”

Kangxi had heard from people in the Imperial Household Department that apart from Yinzhi building a villa nearby, the other princes hadn't paid much attention to the villas here.

“Mother, Father is right. It’s good for boys to be a little thin when they’re out in the world!” Yin said to Consort Hui.

Consort Hui shook her head helplessly: "The eldest daughter has also worked hard."

Yin Genjue Luo quickly got up, shaking her head with a smile on her face.
