Two days later, Changchun Garden was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. In addition to the main gate, the side gates and side gates were opened. From today onwards, the wives and children of officials will come to pay their respects one after another.
Yin and Qingyan got up early, and after breakfast, they went to Kangxi and Consort Tong's side to prepare to be guests.
"My dear, if anyone says anything unpleasant, just ignore it. I will get my revenge later!" The matter at Yuqing Palace had just subsided when the court officials heard a little bit of the news and assumed that Kangxi was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.
At least, the news of the Crown Princess's suicide was suppressed, and the royal family's reputation was preserved. Kangxi took the blame for the Crown Prince.
"Fourth Brother, I won't say a word, okay?!" Qingyan asked softly as she buttoned up Yin's collar.
Yin nodded. Consort Tong would help Qingyan smooth things over, so Qingyan didn't need to worry so much. At the military port, Lady Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan had to navigate the social circles of the officials' wives to ensure smooth operations at the port.
After returning to the capital, Consort Tong took the lead in supporting Qingyan, who had become a junior, and the officials' wives no longer targeted her.
Qingyan rode in a sedan chair toward the courtyard of Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong. When she arrived at the gate, she heard that it was already quite lively inside.
“Master, Madam did not come. She said she was feeling unwell!” Su Lan whispered in Qing Yan’s ear.
What? !
The fact that the Jue Luo clan wasn't coming was probably to avoid entanglement with the Jue Luo family. Qingyan frowned slightly and turned to look at Suzhu.
"Suzhu, go prepare some medicinal herbs, and have Bayan take you to the old house for a look. While you're there, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Physician Chen to come and take your pulse!" Qingyan turned around and ordered.
Women from the surrounding area came over and overheard Qingyan's order. They all knew about the struggle between Jueluo Shi and Qingyan and her daughter. As a child, one should be as magnanimous as Qingyan.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Su Zhu quickly left.
Qingyan changed her expression and walked directly into the courtyard. Many officials' wives had already arrived. Looking around, she saw that even the three wives of the Jue Luo clan had arrived. Her cold gaze stopped the three of them from coming over to fawn over her.
"Fourth Princess Consort, His Majesty requests that you come with me!" Shu Cong came out from the inner quarters and saw Qingyan frowning slightly, looking unwilling to be questioned by the officials' wives.
Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and followed Shu directly into the inner chamber. Tong Guogang's wife was sitting in the lower left seat of the flower hall, chatting with Consort Tong.
"Grandma Guo Luo, Qingyan greets you!" Qingyan politely greeted Madam Tong Guogang.
"Fourth Princess Consort, you flatter me!" Madam Tong Guogang quickly stood up, resolutely refusing to accept the courtesy.
"Mother, please sit down," Consort Tong quickly persuaded Madam Tong Guogang. "It's alright for Xiao'ai to call you that."
Tong Guogang's wife was relieved. The Fourth Prince's wife was very respectful to Consort Tong. During this time, although she was not in the capital, she often prepared small gifts for Consort Tong.
"Fourth Princess Consort, Lady Ulanara has been ill for several days. Shouldn't you go back to see her?!" Madam Tong Guogang was implying to Qingyan that regardless of the mother-daughter relationship, she should go back to see her elder.
"At the entrance, after hearing what Su Lan said, I immediately dispatched Su Zhu with the imperial physician and medicine to take his pulse!" Qing Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Madam Tong Guogang nodded in satisfaction. Qingyan was a sensible person, much smarter than the women of Yuqing Palace.
"Grandma Guo Luo, do you know why Mother is ill?" Qingyan wanted to find out if Jue Luo was in any difficulty.
Su Lan's hesitant manner made Qing Yan feel that something was wrong.
Madam Tong Guogang looked to Consort Tong for help, lamenting the internal scandals within the Jue Luo clan.
"My dear, this is an internal matter of the Jue Luo clan!" Consort Tong said vaguely.
Today, the three wives of the Jue Luo family are all dressed in their finest attire, hoping that Qingyan can lend a hand to the Jue Luo family. They have learned that Qingyan has not been able to return home since his return, so they are hoping to get his help.
really......
Qingyan frowned, carefully considering how to deal with the three women from the Jueluo clan. If she showed herself, the three would definitely pester her.
"Mother, I understand!" Qingyan nodded, indicating that she understood.
Later that evening, Qingyan helped Consort Tong to the main hall. By then, the officials' wives had already arrived, preparing to pay their respects to Consort Tong before going to pay their respects to the other wives.
The three ladies of the Jue Luo clan were very anxious. Lady Ulanara had not come, and their relationship with Qingyan was not good, so they needed a middleman.
Seeing that Madam Tong Guogang and Qingyan were getting along very well, they began to have their own ideas.
Lady Tong Guowei was left out in the cold. Her repeated hurtful words to Consort Tong had completely broken Consort Tong's heart. From the time of the audience after the Spring Festival, Consort Tong stopped speaking and simply ignored Lady Tong Guowei.
"Madam Tong, we... want to speak with the Fourth Princess Consort, but our aunt hasn't come. We're worried that the Fourth Princess Consort will disrespect us!" Under Fei Yanggu's influence, very few women of the Jue Luo clan were allowed to visit the Ulanara residence.
Their words were unintentionally implying that Fei Yanggu had gone too far; otherwise, Qingyan would not be unfamiliar with her maternal relatives.
"That's strange. You rarely see Fourth Princess Consort, so it's understandable that she might not recognize her. Fei Yanggu spends relatively little time at the mansion," Madam Tong Guogang sneered.
The upper-class officials' wives were all aware of what the Gioro family had done, and the women all looked down on the Gioro family. They even thought of using the reputation of the Fourth Prince's wife to save people.
"Your Fourth Prince's wife should know what you did before," the wife of Prince Zhi said with a sneer.
If a member of the royal family loses her reputation, the consequences are very serious. Therefore, even though Qingyan was being driven to the brink of death, the Jue Luo clan still wanted to gain benefits.
Qingyan walked over and felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched Yin Genjue Luo Shi argue with someone.
"Little darling, what brings you here?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi looked a little embarrassed when she saw Qing Yan.
"Sister-in-law, Mother said you should go and keep Lady Yin Genjue Luo company!" Qingyan said with a smile.
Yin Genjue Luo's cheeks were slightly flushed. She hadn't seen her mother for a long time, so she was naturally even happier.
“Alright, I’m going to keep Mother company!” Madam Yin Genjue Luo nodded to Madam Tong Guogang and left immediately.
Qingyan sat in the seat of Lady Yingenjueluo and glanced at the three ladies of the Jueluo clan. They did not look at their mother or even ask her a question.
"Fourth Princess Consort, I am your mother." The First Madam of the Gioro Clan smiled at Qingyan.
After speaking, Qingyan put on a stern face and looked at Madam Jueluo, who was only about forty years old, but whose face already showed the marks of time.
