As midnight approached, Yin arrived at Yin Zhi's courtyard. The bright red decorations made the place festive. Yin had already sent Yin Genjue Luo Shi back to her courtyard. The two brothers smiled at each other. Originally, Yin had planned to let Qing Yan stay in the palace and leave early the next morning. Seeing the ill-intentioned looks in the eyes of those noble ladies and socialites, he blinked subtly.
Qingyan's reputation surpasses everything!
"Fourth Prince, where is Princess Ulanara?" one of the girls from Majia clan asked, seemingly casually.
“Xiao Guai is not a relative of the Third Prince Consort. Since the Third Prince Consort Ulanara was unwell and did not come, the Master instructed that Qingyan should return early. Unlike you, you all have your mother by your side.” Yin said calmly. Immediately, someone next to him glanced at Qingya.
Although they belonged to the same lineage as Ulanara Fiyangu, they received vastly different treatment.
"Fourth Prince, Qingya came alone too, look..." The eldest daughter of the Yin Genjue Luo clan also came alone. She is the eldest princess's younger sister, so it is reasonable for her to live in the eldest prince's courtyard.
Qingya was different. She didn't get along with Qingyan. Now, she cast an expectant look at Yin, and Yin frowned.
Today, Qingyan is wearing a pink and blue palace dress, and Qingya is actually imitating her.
If Yin is drunk, he can only be discerned at the closest distance. Immediately, Yin became alert; this grand wedding was a trap, and he could be implicated by Yin Zhi at any moment.
"How dare you! Haven't you been learning the rules of the palace from the old ladies?" Yin's face darkened.
The girls from Ma Jia's family became timid. Unlike Yin Zhi, Yin was not easy to talk to. His cold gaze made them feel uncomfortable.
"I..." The noble lady who stepped forward stood helplessly to the side. The prince had told her in such a tone that she didn't know the rules. What was she going to do during the selection of concubines?
Yin stood aside with a wine cup in his hand, watching the farce unfold with a cold smile. This Third Prince's wife was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Before the matter was even officially settled, she was already causing trouble for Qingyan. Xiao Guai would definitely become the Fourth Prince's wife if she didn't die young.
She was born different from others, and Dong E Wan Ning was prepared to make a fuss, but she also had to see if she was alive to enjoy it.
"Alright, Fourth Brother, for the sake of Third Brother's joy, don't argue with these little girls!" Yin Zhi was a man who cherished women, and the delicate and charming appearance of Ma Jia Shi, a noble lady, made Yin Zhi feel a tickle in his heart.
Yin nodded, not even giving Qingya a glance.
Seeing Yin's actions and comparing them to Yin Zhi, Dong E Wan Ting couldn't help but sneer. Her elder sister was truly unlucky; she couldn't even control the Third Prince.
At this moment, Qingyan was hiding in the space, secretly observing Yin's every move. She didn't like her man being coveted by others. In the Qing Dynasty, the rule of one man for one woman would definitely be broken. At the very least, it couldn't be a girl from the Ulanara clan.
Qingyan felt she didn't have the same fate as Consort Dong'e, and that she couldn't be Consort Chen either.
"Hmph, you brat, you've been pestered by Qingya." Qingyan didn't think he had offended Qingya, but that girl was always going against him.
She felt extremely awkward; she couldn't very well just tell Qingya to disappear.
For her sake, her father made many concessions, sending Qingya away to prepare for a political marriage, and even hiring governesses to properly educate the concubine daughters in the old mansion, in order to meet the requirements of the Ulanara family elders' council.
If Guang Qingyan stands alone in a high position, the clan leaders will definitely be dissatisfied.
At that time, it wasn't just a matter of their own resources; they might have bypassed Feiyangu and sent their illegitimate daughters into the palace.
"You stinky Sisi, you're a jinx!" Yin felt a jolt in his eyes, and the pressure he hadn't felt before increased.
He wondered to himself, "Did Xiao Guai go to a secret place to watch a play?"
Yin held a glass of white wine and slowly walked to Yin's side to hand it to him.
"Go and offer a toast to Yinzhi early, then go back and rest. You still have to attend the morning court tomorrow!" Yinzhi reminded him.
Of the princes present, all except Yinzhi were exempt from attending the morning court session. Yinzhi had arranged military affairs at the Xishan camp in preparation for Yinzhi's wedding and planned to spend a few days with Lady Yingenjueluo and her daughter.
Yin was different; he never missed the morning court session.
"Third Brother." Yin walked to Yin Zhi, who was dressed in a bright red prince's robe. He saw that Yin Zhi was radiating joy and seemed to be very happy.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing..." Yin Zhi was a little confused. What was the fourth brother planning to do?
"Third Brother, I have to attend court tomorrow, so I can't rest too late today." Yin looked at the women who had been prepared. His father had given permission that those who came to celebrate for Yin Zhi today could leave the palace at 11:45 AM.
Yinzhi nodded with a smile. He had guessed that he would have a ten-day holiday for his wedding. Originally, Yinzhi's wedding was earlier than his, but the Empress Dowager's words forced Yinzhi to postpone his wedding. It was heartbreaking to see.
"Third brother, I wish you a happy hundredth day!" Yin knew that Yin Zhi had only been good to Dong E Shi, his primary consort, for the past two years.
Two years later, after several children died in succession, Yinzhi became increasingly prejudiced against Consort Dong'e. The couple even fought in front of Emperor Kangxi, but Yinzhi's words made him feel quite relieved.
"Thank you!" Yin Zhi replied with a smile.
The girls from the Dong'e and Majia clans were unhappy. It was clear that Yinzhi did not value Dong'e Wanning; he only wanted Yinzhi to be happy.
Yin completely forgot about the nagging from Lady Ma Jia and Lady Dong E, and didn't prepare any grand gifts at all.
Back in his study, he closed the door, took out a pocket watch from his purse, and Xiao Guai was making cute faces at the small bronze mirror. Every adorable look in her eyes made Yin's mood even better.
When his face appeared, Qingyan's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief.
"Little darling, why aren't you sleeping peacefully? What are you doing?" Yin had finally managed to coax Qingyan to sleep, but the little guy got thirsty and started fidgeting on the bed.
He casually picked up the bronze mirror used for making calls, and while looking at himself, he started making all sorts of cute little expressions.
"Hmph, scared!" Qingyan said.
He caught her adorable and silly side.
Aww~
She was so ashamed that she buried her face in the embroidered pillow, feeling increasingly upset.
"Little darling, come out quickly, don't suffocate yourself!" Yin shook his head helplessly. The little guy was so cute every time he got a huge amount of stuff.
Yin walked from the study into the bedroom, and began to unbutton the pocket watch one button at a time. Qingyan covered her eyes with her hands, peeking through her fingers at Yin undressing.
"If you want to see it, just look!" Yin chuckled. The way Xiao Guai peeked was really cute. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
