A simple bow made Qingyan somewhat frightened.
Kangxi had spies everywhere in the palace, so how could he tolerate his eldest son bowing to Qingyan?
"Your Highness, please explain clearly, I'm still completely confused!" Qingyan's face scrunched up. What could have caused this prince, who had fought on the battlefield, to be so emotional?
Yin was also a little puzzled. He rarely hung out with them, and his brothers were all afraid of their eldest brother.
Yin told her about the blood deficiency that had occurred during Yin Genjue Luo's pregnancy. It was only after Qingyan presented her with pearl powder, jujube tea, and the thousand-year-old ginseng slices that she was able to tell her about the troubles of difficult childbirth.
Qingyan's little mouth gaped open in disbelief...
Can these still save lives?
"Uh...it was nothing!" Qingyan said dryly.
Reassured, she began to look around the First Prince's main hall. It was quite different from the Third Prince's main hall. Yin Zhi's hall was decorated with calligraphy and paintings, making it exceptionally poetic and picturesque. The First Prince's main hall was clearly arranged by Lady Yin Genjue Luo, and her elegant personality could be seen in the hall.
"Fourth brother, thank you so much!" Yin was a grateful man; he had given everything for his wife and daughter.
"Brother, this is what Qingyan should do!" Yin touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly.
"Master, the princess is still sleeping!" Yun Tong, who was by the side of Lady Yin Genjue Luo, came to the door. Seeing that her masters were not talking, she quickly came in from outside.
“Sister-in-law, you’ll have plenty of time to see the little one in the future. This is a gift for her when we meet. Wearing it will ward off evil and bring her peace!” Qingyan took out a small jade pendant from He Baoli. It was a piece of mutton fat jade with a hollowed-out phoenix carving, which was quite a good gift for a princess of the royal family.
Yin Genjue Luo accepted the jade pendant, her face full of gratitude.
"Thank you, my little darling!" Madam Yin Genjue Luo realized that some of Qing Yan's things were extremely good for the child, and for the sake of her child, she became even more grateful to Qing Yan.
"Brother, I'm taking Qingyan back to rest. Today is Third Brother's wedding, and her schedule has been disrupted." Yin took Qingyan's hand, preparing to leave with her.
"Go back and rest quickly." Qingyan's listless expression made Yin feel a little sorry for her.
Yin led her out of the princes' quarters, and Xiao Guai's face showed a relaxed expression. The princes' quarters of the First Prince and the Third Prince were unremarkable. What about the Fourth Prince's?
"Fourth Brother, is your brother's residence also so unremarkable?" Little Guai scratched her head, feeling a little annoyed.
Yin chuckled quietly; Xiao Guai was just too adorable.
"Special features?! The Prince's Residence isn't your real mansion, so how can it have any special features?" Yin feigned confusion.
Qingyan stamped her foot, deciding not to argue with Yin outside; she wanted to save face for him.
Upon entering the courtyard, Qingyan was astonished by the furnishings; it was a complete replica of her own courtyard in Xinzai. Yin had put a lot of thought into it. Fei Yanggu had prepared many decorations for Xiaoguai's courtyard, and many of them were brought in from the south. Yin had begged Kangxi for a long time before he was allowed to secretly bring in goods from the south and send them to the princes' quarters.
Of course, Kangxi also made many demands, but Yin endured them all for the sake of Xiao Guai's smile.
"Little darling, see what's still missing?" A few days ago, Yin had someone specially set up a greenhouse. Fortunately, their wedding was postponed, otherwise, the greenhouse would never have been completed.
Previously, he had built a small vegetable shed in a corner of the courtyard, but Kangxi turned a blind eye to it.
"There's a greenhouse?" Qingyan asked in surprise.
Yin nodded. The surprise in her eyes made him feel that his efforts had not been in vain.
"Little darling, there aren't many things planted inside yet. When you come, you can make good use of this greenhouse." Yin didn't mention Yin Zhi's courtyard.
The Emperor had taken notice of the Dong E clan and the Ma Jia clan for not following the rules. In particular, the Ma Jia clan did not even know the rules for noble ladies to observe mourning. When they entered the palace, they were dressed in bright colors.
"Wait until the wedding ceremony begins before you go over!" Yin didn't like Qingyan being surrounded by people, and Dong Eshi clearly wanted Qingyan to be bullied.
"Fourth Brother, I understand." Qingyan nodded in agreement.
She wanted to see the Dong'e sisters make a fool of themselves, but she couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Little darling, go to the study. You can do whatever you want there." Yin poked her forehead. This girl wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so he didn't explain it to her.
"Hehe..." Qingyan smiled and followed Yin away.
Yin's study was simple, somewhat similar in layout to Qingyan's. The treasure cabinet in his study was filled with gifts from Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong. Many of them were tributes from previous dynasties. He picked out some small blue-and-white porcelain ornaments and placed them on it, creating a strong contrast with the gaudy famille rose decorations in Emperor Kangxi's Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Sisi, colored porcelain is bad for girls! From now on, there must be no colored porcelain in our room." Qingyan recalled that many people in modern times had confirmed that colored porcelain could cause indelible disasters to women and children.
etc!
Yin stared at her with wide eyes. "Are all the porcelain things bad?"
"Are you sure?" Yin remembered that there was a set of porcelain with the motif of "One Hundred Children Celebrating Spring" in Consort Tong's palace. It was a gift from the Empress Dowager when Consort Tong entered the palace. The Empress Dowager said that Consort Tong should pass on this porcelain to her daughter-in-law.
Qingyan was slightly taken aback, and quickly explained the harm caused by the Colored Porcelain Association.
"Damn it! My little darling, I have some clothes that I've made for you. Have Sulan change you quickly. I'll take you to Chenggan Palace." Yin checked the time. Kangxi should be having dinner with Consort Tong at Chenggan Palace right now.
"Alright, Sulan, come in quickly!" Qingyan understood the importance and urgency of the matter.
The two of them quietly led Su Peisheng and Su Lan to Chenggan Palace. Today, Yin chose to avoid people on all the routes.
"Little darling, who else knows the dangers of colored porcelain?" Yin was determined to silence everyone. The Empress Dowager had used Consort Tong to arrange colored porcelain decorations for the noble ladies of the Eight Banners.
"No one should know that I overheard a lady talking about it when I went to check the accounts at Yuelai Inn," Qingyan whispered to Yin.
"Think carefully, what are the characteristics of that lady?" Yin was a little worried, as these were things that the noble ladies of Mongolia knew.
No wonder, in their previous life, the Aisin Gioro family had very few offspring. In those years, the Empress Dowager bestowed porcelain upon them, and their mansion acquired many pieces. Honghui's frail health was probably related to this.
"Characteristics?" Qingyan was confused. Yinxian didn't ask her in detail and hurried to Chengqian Palace.
He preemptively struck, making his father wary of the matter before proceeding further. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
