After the banquet, Qingyan sat back in the carriage, listening to the twins making noise beside her. The children's smiling faces calmed the anger in Qingyan's heart.
At the banquet, the Empress Dowager repeatedly urged Qingyan to stay in Beijing to give birth, and even tried to use filial piety to suppress him. Kangxi personally rejected the suggestion and told Yinzhi and Yinzhi that they could set off in a couple of days.
“Mother, when Ah Hun and I were playing hide-and-seek, I overheard two Mongolian wives saying that they wanted to have Angguma keep you here so that they could tamper with your delivery and make Father marry a noble Mongolian woman!” Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen said with red eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the carriage froze instantly, and Yin's face was filled with anger.
"Fourth Prince, we're leaving soon, so be careful. Father Emperor will definitely not let the Empress Dowager have an easy time!" The Empress Dowager had acted somewhat recklessly during the New Year, directly crossing Kangxi's bottom line. Therefore, once the Mongol princes left the capital, the Empress Dowager's days would certainly not be easy.
“My elder brother just said that Father Emperor instructed him in advance to let us leave on the eighth day. I told my father-in-law!” After saying that, Yin stopped talking.
They watched their noisy children and didn't take these things to heart.
Over the next two days, Yin and Qingyan began to busy themselves packing their things, preparing to set off with Yin on the eighth day of the month.
Qingyan watched as the twins packed up their new toys. The two of them would whisper to each other occasionally, and then they would take out the toys they had used.
"Mother, Mother, we want to take all of this with us!" Yiken'e Zhihu carried the small boxes he had packed and placed them next to Qingyan, while Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen echoed from the side.
Inside this small box are the twins' favorite toys from when they were little until now.
"Mother, my sister and I have already gone to the study. These are for our little brother!" Yiken'e has been studying for two years. According to the saying that he grows a year older at the New Year, he is already four years old and completely considers himself a big kid.
Qingyan opened the box herself. Inside were some items that Yin had personally carved for Yiken'e, which she thought Yiken'e would keep herself.
"These were made by your father himself. Are you sure you want to give them to your younger brother?" Qingyan asked, looking at the twins.
“Yes, Father is getting busier and busier, and he definitely won’t have time to carve for our little brother. So, we’ve decided that we want our little brother to feel Father’s care too!” The twins decided that they would make sure their little brother wasn’t lonely.
Yin stood at the door, listening to Yiken'e's words, feeling a warmth in his heart. Yiken'e was his eldest son, and it was truly rare for him to consider his younger brother's feelings.
"Yiken'e, Hutulifengshengzhalafen, take these toys back. They belong to you, and no one can take them away. Father has already carved them for your little brother!" Yin said, patting Yiken'e's little head, and then picked up his daughter from the side.
Sometimes, he would compare Yiken'e with the former Hong in his heart, and in terms of temperament and personality, Yiken'e was more suitable to be the future ruler of the Qing Dynasty.
"Really?" Yiken asked, looking up at Yin.
"Yes!" Yin nodded. "When you are six years old and enter the Imperial Study, remember that you will have another name, Hongye." Yin said, looking at Yiken'e.
To avoid using the emperor's given name, everyone called Yiken'e by his nickname and never by his given name.
Today, Emperor Kangxi specially appointed a tutor from the Imperial Study to accompany them to the military ports in Guangdong and Guangxi. Kangxi's original words were that he was looking for a tutor for Hongye.
Hongye! This name shocked many people. Over the years, many have forgotten how shocking it was when Hongye drew lots.
Even the Crown Prince began to doubt himself. Later, many people said that Hongye's name was too grand, and it was hard to say whether the child could control it.
“Father, didn’t you say that this name can’t be said casually? Ever since I started learning, every time I go there, my grandfather calls me that!” Yiken’e felt that the nickname was more affectionate.
Upon hearing this, Yin felt a thought: Kangxi must have been letting Yiken'e get used to this name in advance.
"Yes, just remember what Grandfather told you!" Yin glanced at Yiken'e and had Su Peisheng bring the two children's toys into the room.
Currently, the twins each have their own room, with a shared main hall in the middle. Since they are both still young, this decision is correct.
On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Yin carried the sleeping Qingyan into the front carriage, while the twins, wrapped in blankets, were placed in the back carriage. Suzhu was temporarily transferred there to lead the nannies in taking care of the twins.
It was still pitch black when Yinhe and Feiyanggu discussed it and decided to set off before dawn, hoping that no one would stop them.
Officials held Yin and Yin in even higher regard. Since they were both in charge of two military ports by Kangxi, they were certain that Yin and Yin would be given important positions by Kangxi.
Many people discussed that on the eighth day of the month, they should go early in the morning to respectfully see off Yin and his entourage.
Fei Yang had anticipated this situation and said directly that they would leave as soon as the hour of Yin arrived.
When Yin's caravan arrived at the city gate, Fei Yanggu's caravan had already stopped at the city gate. Yin's caravan had not yet arrived. Yin got off the carriage and saw that Saito had dismounted.
"Fourth Master, where's Xiao Guai?" Saito looked back, but Qingyan wasn't there. "Is she still sleeping?"
"Yes, my little darling is pregnant, so she's been sleeping more." Yin nodded.
"There's some trouble with the master. Lady Yin Genjue Luo wants him to take her youngest son away, and the First Princess Consort is quite annoyed." Lady Yin Genjue Luo is constantly embroiled in internal strife, and the First Princess Consort rarely visits her family home anymore.
"My elder brother will not agree!" Yin sneered. The clan leader of the Yin Genjue Luo clan was also stunned. On the surface, he did not allow the legitimate wife to have children, but instead he respected the children born to the concubines.
When Lady Yin Genjue Luo became pregnant again, her family did not come to show their concern. Instead, her concubine went to visit her.
"The First Princess Consort said that from now on, she should be treated as if she has no family!" Lady Yin Genjue Luo no longer cared about her family. Her parents were selfish and only used her.
Fei Yanggu stared at the Yin Genjue Luo clan and discovered that the mansion had undergone significant changes; the Grand Consort was no longer under the control of the Yin Genjue Luo clan patriarch.
"Yes, I understand. Did your elder brother ask you to tell me this?" Yin wouldn't say another word about the Fujin (wife).
“Yes, the old man said to let Xiao Guai know that Linglong Pavilion and Yuelai Inn no longer need to give Yin Genjue Luo family any preferential treatment!” Saito said directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a convoy of carriages sped over from a distance, and Yin saw his personal eunuch sitting on the carriage shaft.
"Fourth Master, the Master wants you to get in the carriage as soon as possible. We're leaving the capital immediately. The clan head of the Yin Genjue Luo clan has informed everyone that it's time for the Master and you to leave!" Shunxi hurried over and said to Yin.
Yin was taken aback; sure enough, the Yin Genjue Luo clan had started making trouble again.
