In the afternoon, Qingyan sat in her study, carefully looking at the embroidery. Today, she was going to design an outstanding qipao for Consort Tong. After the marriage, Consort Tong would be her mother-in-law. On the first time she paid her respects, as a junior, Qingyan was to give both Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong a set of everyday clothes.
After the wedding was postponed, Qingyan had more time to prepare her everyday clothes. The embroidery book in her hand was obtained by Yin from the Imperial Wardrobe; these were embroidery patterns of Consort Tong's everyday clothes over the years.
"Princess, the princess of the Jue Luo clan has arrived!" Qingyan rarely visited the old residence, as her relationship with the Jue Luo clan was not good.
Since Jue Luo Shi lost her temper with her maternal family, those people have basically dared not make any more moves.
Emperor Kangxi also kept a close eye on them and frequently suppressed them.
"Princess?" Qingyan looked at Sulan in surprise.
The women of the Jue Luo clan's maternal family could barely see the banquet; they longed to have a close connection with the royal family.
"Let them in," Qingyan said helplessly.
If she doesn't meet this woman today, the Jue Luo clan will come out to cause her trouble tomorrow.
A moment later, a pink figure entered through the palace gate. She looked at the other person with a bewildered expression. The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slender waist and a pitiful face, looking as if she were about to cry.
"Qingyan, I apologize for disturbing you!" the woman said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Why don't you tell me who you are first?" Qingyan said, taking a sip of tea from her teacup, somewhat puzzled.
This person gave her the illusion of a skinny horse. How could a member of the legitimate Aisin Gioro clan, a collateral branch, raise such a woman?
The woman stared at Qingyan in surprise, as if she had done something heinous.
"Si Si isn't here. Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Qing Yan said nonchalantly.
This is basically how the Jue Luo family behaves. They only show a smile when they need help; otherwise, they act superior.
"You... I'm here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. Over the years, your aunt has never brought you back, and your grandmother and the others also want to be close to you." Without saying a word, the woman directly accused Qingyan of a serious crime.
She couldn't help but chuckle; women like that were everywhere.
Unfilial!
In the Qing Dynasty, this was considered a serious crime, and those in power would be watching closely. If she wanted to secure her position in the royal family, she would definitely have to obey the other party's orders and be filial to the Gioro clan.
This is probably because Ama didn't give the other party any face and turned his attention to her.
Qingyan was embarrassed; this person was clearly implying that Qingyan did not understand Jueluo's feelings.
"Whose family are you?" Qingyan recalled the situation of the Jueluo family. The legitimate daughters of his two maternal uncles were still very young. It seemed that this girl was either a concubine's daughter or a girl from his aunt's family.
"How could you do this? You don't even recognize the sisters in the rented house!" The woman's face was full of accusation, and Qingyan felt extremely aggrieved.
Since Qingyan's rebirth, Feiyanggu has strictly forbidden Jueluo Shi from bringing her maternal family members to Qingyan's presence. Back then, when Qingyan was injured, besides Qingya, there were two legitimate daughters from the Jueluo sisters' families who, along with Qingya, caused Qingyan's injury. Ultimately, under Jueluo Shi's arrangement, the two legitimate daughters did not bear any responsibility.
"Huh?!" In Qingyan's hazy memory, even her uncle's legitimate daughter didn't get along with her.
"I am the third daughter of your maternal uncle's family." Yechuk's face was full of sorrow. She believed that Yin must have released the person by Qingyan's side.
All she wanted was for the royals to see Qingyan's true colors. Qingyan gave a cold smile.
The third daughter of the eldest master of the Jue Luo clan was born to a favored concubine, and her treatment was similar to that of the legitimate daughter.
"Yechuke, my maternal uncle's illegitimate daughter!" Qingyan remembered the woman's identity after Sulan reminded him, and his mood worsened.
Qingyan had always disliked concubines. Fei Yanggu's concubines never appeared in front of her. After arriving, apart from the imperial concubines, she had never faced any concubines.
"Yes, you know me, so why are you treating me like this!" Yechuk heard footsteps outside, his voice softened, but his words carried a accusatory tone.
Qingyan was speechless; this guy's ability to change his expression was truly remarkable.
A moment later, Yin walked in from outside and saw Qingyan sitting blankly in his seat, with a beautiful young girl sitting at the lower right seat.
He didn't even spare Yechuk a glance. He sat down next to Qingyan and took a sip from the teacup she had used.
"This servant respectfully greets the Fourth Prince." Seeing that the two ignored her, Yechuk quickly tidied herself up and respectfully greeted Yin.
Qingyan rolled her eyes at Yin. Yechuk was clearly showing his best side because of Yin's arrival.
"Little darling, we're going out in a bit, go and get your things ready!" Yin ignored Yechuk's greeting and spoke gently to Qingyan.
He was no longer used to showing his stern side to Qingyun, and always preferred to treat her like a child, protecting her under his wings.
"Fine!" Qingyan didn't care. The Jueluo clan used her as a stepping stone to success. Now that the real person had appeared, she was able to throw the wall over.
As soon as Qingyan left the main hall, her little face drooped, replaced by embarrassment.
"Sulan, go and tell A'dun, whose idea was it to bring Yechuk back?" Qingyan was in a bad mood.
The Jue Luo clan used her silver and jewelry to try and poach her husband.
The red jade hairpin with auspicious clouds on Yechuke's head was Mei'ai's signature piece of jewelry. Today, Yechuke came over, and she not only frequently mentioned the Jueluo clan in her words, but also tried to gossip about her in front of Yin, which was unforgivable to her.
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Su Lan had to admit that their lives had become increasingly difficult since the arrival of the Jue Luo clan.
Su Xin stood behind her and began to dress and do Qing Yan's hair. Yin often took Qing Yan out, and Su Xin and Su Lan were already used to the fact that Yin would often appear.
The sun shone brightly outside, but Qingyan's heart was filled with gloom.
"Princess, please cheer up. Fourth Master finally had time to come over," Su Xin comforted her.
Qingyan pouted and threw the silk flower in her hand onto the dressing table. The silk flower with twin lotus blossoms was specially made for Qingyan by the Bureau of Manufacturing at the request of Master Yin. Her actions were clearly an attempt to vent her anger on the silk flower.
"Princess..." Su Xin couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly reminded her.
"Hmph, if Fourth Prince doesn't handle this well, I'll make him pay." Qingyan trusted Fourth Prince from the bottom of her heart. This emperor, who had grown up with her, was different from the cold emperor recorded in history books.
"Who are you messing with?" Yin leisurely walked into the inner chamber, and seeing Qingyan's arrogant tone, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"You're still coming over? Where's that woman?" Qingyan felt increasingly presumptuous, even though it had nothing to do with Yin's affairs.
"Jealous?!" Yin looked at her with a smile.
He liked it when Qingyan got jealous of him, and he couldn't help but tease her every time.
