At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the ground was at its hottest, Yechuk knelt on the blue brick ground outside the main courtyard, his legs burning with pain.
Her delicate face contorted with rage. Yin hadn't even given her a second glance. After Qingyan left, he coldly ordered her to kneel outside, which made Yechuke lose face.
This day was very lucky for Yechuk, as Yinzhi was able to go outside the palace for some fresh air with Kangxi's approval.
His first stop was the new residence. It was a well-known fact within the palace that Yin would head to Qingyan whenever he left the palace.
A-Dun appeared in the courtyard with Yin dressed in a dark blue casual suit. He saw a woman being punished by kneeling in the distance. She had a very good figure. Yin smiled. His three older brothers knew that he was not interested in women.
Every time a woman gets too close to Yin, Yin's face will have an allergic reaction.
"Ah Dun, who is that woman in front?" Yin liked to collect beautiful women.
As he grew older, it was clear that if the Crown Prince had no weaknesses, Emperor Kangxi would not feel at ease. Especially in recent years, Kangxi's paranoia had intensified. He had collected all the attractive palace maids in Yuqing Palace and placed them in the backyard. Upon hearing this, Kangxi merely smiled slightly and did not interfere further.
"Your Highness, that is a concubine's daughter of the Jue Luo clan. She learned of Fourth Master's whereabouts today and came to pay her respects." Looking at Yechuk's appearance, Adun immediately categorized this woman as someone who wanted to rise in rank.
Yin smiled; this kind of woman was the easiest to hook.
At this moment, Yin is drawing Qingyan's eyebrows. This is a gesture that Qingyan has been gradually cultivated to do since she was a child. Yin has made up his mind that he will spend his life with Qingyan.
"Fourth Sister, you're hiding something from me!" Yin's smile sent a chill down her spine.
Pfft!
Yin laughed; Xiao Guai's emotions were quite perceptive.
"Yes, the Crown Prince is here." Yin Hui was sent by his father, the Emperor, to let him know. In his previous life, he had to beg Yin Hui to allow him to leave the palace and visit the Prince's residence.
She slightly opened her mouth. Was Yechuk not coming for Yin?
Her almond-shaped eyes betrayed her thoughts; he was just having a laugh, after all, Xiao Guai was still a child.
"There must be spies in the palace, Jue Luo clan. In Yuqing Palace, apart from the Emperor's people, every prominent family would send one or two servants." Sometimes Yin would feel sorry for Yin, it was a tragedy that a Crown Prince had to go to such lengths.
Qingyan looked at him; he was the most informed about news from within the palace.
The victors of Kowloon are indeed extraordinary; they have shown outstanding talent at such a young age.
"My God!" Qingyan exclaimed.
Through the images in the space, she looked at the situation in the courtyard, where Yechuk was being held in Yin's arms with a shy expression.
"Close it!" Yin heard Qingyan's exclamation and realized that the little guy must have been watching the outside situation through the system. The Crown Prince was a lecher, and if he encountered someone with good looks, how could he let them go?
Yechuk's appearance perfectly matched Yiran Neng's aesthetic standards, no wonder Yin was so interested in him.
"Alright!" Qingyan was startled by Yin's cold gaze and quickly turned off the video, but it also aroused her curiosity.
"Someone will tell you in a moment that you should use that thing sparingly!" There are spies everywhere in the palace, and he's really afraid that someone will discover Xiao Guai's casual and undisciplined behavior.
Qingyan nodded solemnly, held up three fingers, and swore an oath to the Eternal Heaven, which was considered the highest oath of the Manchus.
"Fourth Brother, should we go and bother them?" Qingyan grinned mischievously.
Yin shook his head. This time, the fact that Yechuke was able to lure him out was largely due to Yechuke.
"Eavesdropping is acceptable!" Yin agreed, a move he had never made before.
Qingyan's eyes lit up instantly, and she felt quite moved.
How childish!
"Alright! Suxin, quickly bring me the embroidered shoes!" Qingyan shouted.
With everything ready, she grabbed Yin's sleeve and quickly walked towards the main courtyard.
At that moment, Yechuk was listening to Yin's promise. Naïve young girls are always fond of sweet words, and Yin's words made her heart flutter.
In the Jueluo family, Yechuke was not outstanding. If it weren't for her favored concubine, the master probably wouldn't even remember that there was such a second female lead.
Qingyan and Yin hid in a blind spot in the courtyard, watching the two people inside.
She could see the disdain in the eyes of the old woman who had come with Yechuk; a concubine's daughter was ultimately no good.
"Su Peisheng, those two chairs! Be quiet!" Yin whispered the instructions.
This charade of mutual affection won't end so easily. Qingyan ignored Yin's arrangements and stared intently ahead. There wasn't a trace of emotion in Yin's eyes, but Yechuke was completely absorbed in Yin's sweet words.
Yin's face, which resembled Yin Sicheng's, revealed a lewd expression, making him somewhat uncomfortable.
"Don't look too much!" When Yin noticed the change in the Crown Prince's eyes, he covered Qingyan's eyes and half-carried her away from that place.
"Fourth Brother, we haven't finished reading yet!" Qingyan protested, pouting.
"No, Second Brother won't do good deeds. Let's just wait for Adun to report back. Let's go take a look at the Prince's mansion first!" Yin didn't care at all.
Yechuk's decision to follow Yin was also due to the poor upbringing of the Jue Luo clan.
Before the imperial concubine selection, all the young women were considered the emperor's women, and even the crown prince could not easily lay a hand on them.
"Won't this involve Ama?" Qingyan also wanted Yechuke to suffer, but she didn't want Ama and the others to be implicated.
He didn't want his new residence to be defiled. If those two did something, the maids serving in the courtyard would probably be executed by Emperor Kangxi.
"No, are there any loyal servants in the courtyard?" Yin had already figured out how to handle the aftermath.
Qingyan shook her head. The servants in the courtyard were usually other people's spies or newcomers to the mansion.
"Never mind, let's go!" Yin was also trying to evade responsibility. If Kangxi found out where Yechuk and Yin met, it would be better if they weren't at the residence.
The carriage slowly drove away from the side gate of the new house, and the two of them put the matter in the courtyard out of their minds.
"Fourth Prince, didn't I see the blueprints for the Prince's mansion?" Yin had given Qingyan the mansion's model early on, so she could modify it according to her own preferences.
“There is a difference between the sample and the real thing. Our main courtyard is the best.” Yin did not prepare a courtyard for his concubines. When Kangxi wanted to bestow one, he simply threw them into the servants’ courtyard.
Qingyan looked at him with a smile. The courtyard was full of fruit trees, so they could eat fruit freely after they moved in!
He reached out and pinched her little upturned nose. The people from the Imperial Household Department had almost run themselves ragged over those few fruit trees; if Qingyan wasn't satisfied, Yin would make a scene again. (To be continued.
