The day before the Golden Banquet Festival, Linglong Pavilion delivered the headdress designed by Qingyan. This was prepared for the Jueluo clan. It was made of five-colored warm jade and gold hairpins, and the headdress featured blooming chrysanthemums, each one lifelike.
In truth, Qingyan was against it; in her mind, chrysanthemums were for offerings to the dead.
During the Qing Dynasty's Golden Banquet Festival, many women would use chrysanthemums as decorations, applying them to their hair in two buns.
"Mother!" Qingyan walked into the main hall of Wanfang Anhe and saw Fei Yanggu and Jue Luoshi discussing who would take care of the old house after leaving the capital.
Jue Luo looked up and saw Qing Yan dressed in a bright red palace gown, with a headdress made of purple jade of excellent quality.
"Little darling, what brings you here? Is this the busiest time of the year?!" After spending a few days together, Jue Luo Shi and Qing Yan's relationship had greatly improved.
“Mother, Linglong Pavilion has sent over some jewelry. I’m looking at it to see if it’s suitable for you. You left the old house in such a hurry this time, so you probably didn’t bring any jewelry for the festival.” Qingyan waved her hand, and Sulan brought over a jewelry set of five-colored warm jade chrysanthemum gold hairpins. Fei Yanggu was taken aback.
This headdress is extremely exquisite; every flower stamen in the design is carved out.
"Little darling, this headdress is a bit too expensive!" Jue Luo glanced at the headdress. How could the palace possibly say anything about such an extravagant headdress!
Qingyan discovered that the Jueluo clan had truly changed, and no longer believed that everything Qingyan owned belonged to the Ulanara clan as before.
"Mother, don't worry, these jewelry items are all in accordance with the rules." Qingyan smiled, making the Jue Luo clan member accept them with a smile.
Lady Jue Luo was relieved: "Has Consort Tong made preparations?"
"Of course, it has already been sent to the palace, and the ingredients used are the best," Qingyan explained in a low voice.
Fei Yanggu was very pleased with Qingyan's arrangements. Qingyan had matured a lot in the past few years. Before, during the wedding ceremony, all the gift lists needed to be reviewed by Yin, but now she was able to handle it herself.
“Little darling has grown up, so you can use it. Fourth Master should have already seen it!” Fei Yanggu said casually. “Little darling, when we go back this time, your father wants to take your mother to the military port as well.”
Fei Yanggu planned to inform Qing Yan in advance that the military port was experiencing a food shortage, and he was unsure whether these issues had been resolved.
“Great! Father’s courtyard needs someone to manage it!” Qingyan thought it was a good idea. If they left Jue Luo Shi alone in the capital, the three siblings wouldn’t feel at ease. “The children are very worried about Mother. I think it would be best if they went together. Will Father agree?”
Qingyan was worried that Kangxi would feel that they were out of his control, and that if the twins were raised in the capital, she might complain.
"Yes, it has already been submitted to His Majesty, and he has agreed!" Fei Yanggu inquired in advance. Kangxi felt it was better for the Ulanara family to stay together, so that the Jue Luo clan wouldn't be confused and make mistakes again under the instigation of the Empress Dowager.
"Father, the provisions are all prepared. The vegetables and other supplies that Mother needs should be prepared from the capital," Qingyan requested.
Fei Yanggu waved his hand and said, "That's definitely not a problem. Your mother will prepare the things herself."
When Qingyan agreed, Jueluo Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Initially, she was worried that Qingyan would disagree.
"Little Darling, do you want to discuss this with Fourth Master?" Jue Luo felt that if someone entered a place like a military port, they would definitely have to inform Yin and Yin.
Qingyan shook her head: "Mother, I'll decide what kind of provisions to prepare. You don't need to cause any trouble in the naval port, there's nothing to worry about!"
Lady Jue Luo was relieved. She had been feigning illness for several months in the capital, and the concubines in her mansion had been kept under control. Even their family members were not allowed to visit them.
The huge old house felt like a closed cage. If Fei Yanggu hadn't returned to the capital, Jue Luo would have had no idea how long she had been imprisoned.
Around noon, under repeated urging from Jue Luo, Qingyan finally returned from Wanfang Anhe.
In the courtyard of Jiuzhou Qingyan, Yin was playing with his twins in the garden, and his two Tibetan mastiffs were also released.
"King Kong!" As soon as Qingyan entered the room, a black Tibetan Mastiff walked gracefully towards her, rubbing its huge head against her legs.
"Little darling, Silver Steel is here too!" Yin put Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen off Silver Steel, patted its bottom, and told it to hurry over.
Yiken stood aside, playing ball with Jin Gang. Yin had repeatedly warned him that he must not, like Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, ride on the Tibetan mastiff.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen is a princess. If she rides a Tibetan mastiff, everyone will say that she is a woman who is just as capable as any man. But if Yiken'e rides it, she will say some unpleasant things.
"Yiken'e, come to your mother." She bent down and patted the heads of Jingang and Yingang.
"Mother, did you go to Guo Luo Ma Fa's place?" Yi Ken'e and Fei Yang Gu had a good relationship. Although Jue Luo Shi was not good to Qing Yan, she was very kind to the twins.
“Yes, after we go back from the Banjin Festival, Grandma Guo Luo will also go to the military port, and you'll have someone to keep you company again!” Qingyan said, tapping Yiken’s nose.
Yin entrusted this matter to Qingyan so that Qingyan could consider whether to accept the Jue Luo clan.
As he expected, Qingyan was prepared to forgive Jue Luo Shi.
"Really?!" Yiken was surprised.
Fei Yanggu rarely mentioned the Jue Luo clan, which caused Yi Ken'e to feel confused.
"Alright, you can play with King Kong and Silver Steel. Yiken'e, you need to know some rules!" Qingyan looked around and warned the servants that if anyone dared to scheme against Yiken'e, they should consider whether they could bear the consequences.
The servants regained their composure and dared not lay a hand on their two young masters again.
Yin was very satisfied with the situation before him.
"Let's go inside first." Yin gave Erlu a look, then took Qingyan's hand and walked into the hall.
After the two sat down, Yin carefully examined Qingyan. Back then, when she was hurt by Jue Luo Shi, she had said those words in anger.
"Why did you suddenly decide to forgive her?" Yin asked, looking at Qingyan.
"Actually, I think she has really aged a lot!" Qingyan had to admit that she had softened her heart. The Jue Luo clan was not as good as before. Her father often said that those people had driven the Jue Luo clan to the edge of a cliff. Perhaps it was a painful lesson learned.
This time when she returned, Jue Luo Shi had really changed a lot. In front of those people, she actually defended her.
"Sisi, she was able to choose me over my family... If I don't forgive her, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm not young anymore. For the sake of the children, I have to forgive her!" Qingyan revealed the real reason; she was a mother.
