Just after lunch, news of Qingyan's angry rebuke of the two ladies spread throughout the naval port. When Yin heard Su Peisheng's report, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Qingyan had been holding back her feelings since yesterday's banquet. Yin didn't care about what Qingyan said; he just thought it was good for her to vent.
Inside the flower hall, Qingyan put a cushion under her waist, preparing to welcome the female relatives who came to visit. As the saying goes, one shouldn't embarrass a smiling face.
Jue Luo stayed by her daughter's side, watching her deal with the officials' wives. She sighed inwardly, thinking that if she hadn't been so reckless in the past, Qingyan would have learned more ways to deal with them.
Taking advantage of the absence of the officials' wives, Lady Jue Luo prepared to teach Qingyan some tips. Qingyan couldn't always rely on arguing with people; if he offended all the women, it wouldn't be good for the Fourth Prince's future.
“Little darling, don’t be too harsh with your words. All these women’s husbands are useful to Fourth Master!” Jue Luo Shi quickly said.
Qingyan laughed nonchalantly, "I said that as long as someone dares to cause trouble, we'll shut them down."
When Jue Luo heard Qing Yan's explanation, she sighed helplessly. Since Yin agreed with this approach, Jue Luo would not say anything more.
“Mother, I face a different environment. Those people just want to make things difficult for me, and I will make sure they succeed!” After having twins, Qingyan has gained a firm foothold in the royal family and speaks with more confidence than Yingenjueluo.
"My confidence comes from the children's health and vitality," Qingyan said proudly, tilting her little head back.
Three or four groups of women had arrived. Qingyan understood that these women had probably come here after being rebuffed by the Yingenjueluo clan.
However, Madame Isok and Madame Sanque, considering themselves elders of Qingyan, rushed over directly.
Unexpectedly, Lady Ulanara stopped supporting her family, leaving Lady Sangkui in an awkward position. Some officials' wives would curry favor with Lady Sangkui because of her relationship with Lady Ulanara.
When the Fourth Prince's wife stepped forward and denied Lady Sangkui's status, everyone had a clear understanding of the situation.
"Your Majesty, the Princess Consort of Prince Zhi and the Little Princess have arrived!" Su Lan hurriedly came in to report.
Jue Luo looked at Qing Yan with concern, feeling that she should avoid the topic.
“Mother, don’t be shy. My sister-in-law must have been annoyed by those people, which is why she came directly.” Qingyan waved her hand dismissively. “My sister-in-law also said that when she gives birth, Mother will help her out.”
Unable to receive care from her maternal family, and with the Jue Luo clan here, she can only ask the Jue Luo clan to put in extra effort.
"I don't have much to do. Being able to take care of the Prince Zhi's wife is my good fortune!" Jue Luo Shi quickly waved her hand and said.
"Lady Ulanara, you're too kind. My family couldn't send anyone, so I'm sorry to trouble you!" Yin Genjueluo Shi came alone. Qingyan looked around but didn't see Songkelierha, which puzzled her. "That little girl went to find Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen!"
Ugh!
Qingyan gave an awkward laugh: "Sister-in-law, what brings you here for a visit?"
Since Lady Yin Genjue Luo became pregnant, she no longer wanders around the courtyard as often as before, but stays in the courtyard instead.
"It's all because of those people causing trouble. If we stay in the courtyard, people will keep coming to visit." Madam Yin Genjue Luo was also a little annoyed. These people really don't know what's good for them.
If it weren't for the presence of the Jue Luo clan at Qingyan's place, the women would have come to harass them as well.
They were all worried that they would anger Fei Yanggu, whose fiery temper was well known among the officials' wives.
"I've had several groups of people here too. I think those people have no sense of propriety, trying to subtly probe into what happened yesterday." Qingyan was annoyed. Su Peisheng had already made things clear in the cafeteria, so what were these people still trying to find out?
"They're checking on our health!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi revealed. "If we're not feeling well, they can recommend the maids they've prepared."
After saying that, Qingyan sneered. Those women had already been dealt with several times, but they hadn't shown any restraint.
The three sat in the flower hall and chatted until dinner time approached. Yin Genjue Luo Shi declined Qing Yan's invitation to stay for dinner and went back with her daughter, while Jue Luo Shi was invited to stay by Qing Yan.
A quarter of an hour later, Yin led Fei Yanggu and his two sons in. She quickly got up from her chair and slowly moved over, supporting her heavy body.
"Slow down!" Yin saw Qingyan moving quickly toward him like a clumsy little duck.
Qingyan smiled and said she didn't think it would be a problem. It was just that Yin was always worried about her.
"Sisi, I think it's fine, don't frown!" Qingyan said helplessly.
Yin sighed. Why couldn't Qingyan think of things for him?
"Father, you talk to Mother first!" Qingyan was helped by Yin to go to the inner chamber to change clothes. Qingyan had been sitting for a while, and the back of his palace dress was a little damp.
"Little darling, how long have you been sitting?" Yin checked the temperature of his back, and his expression turned grim.
Qingyan gave an awkward laugh: "Several groups of women have come today, I can't just leave them behind and run away, can I?"
"Explanation won't work, so what can I say to you?" Yin was worried that Qingyan's health wasn't good and that sitting for too long would make Qingyan uncomfortable.
"Okay, I understand!" Qingyan smiled ingratiatingly, quickly using her swollen, pregnant fingers to unfasten Yin's clothes. "Fourth Prince, why are those women coming over to subtly inquire?"
Yin pinched Qingyan's little nose: "I've ordered Su Peisheng to command the stewards to personally inspect the place. If they find anyone adding filler, they'll be implicated!"
These stewards, worried that their own interests might be involved, were certainly extra careful. Upon discovering a problem, their first action was to report it to Erlu.
"Do you remember whose family the officials' wives are who came today?" Yin wanted to see who dared to disobey his warning and come to bother Qingyan.
Qingyan nodded and began to recount the stories of the visiting officials' families. The more Yin listened, the uglier his expression became.
Those people were basically opportunists. When they realized that the Crown Prince's control over Guangdong and Guangxi was not strong, they abandoned the Crown Prince and surrendered to Yinzhi and Yinzhi.
"Fourth Brother, should I pay attention to these people?" Qingyan asked, glancing at Yin.
"No need. We don't need to worry about those opportunists. As long as we can keep these people in check, that's enough." Yin shook his head and, with Qingyan's help, changed into his casual clothes and went out.
Fei Yang had heard about what happened during the day from Jue Luo Shi long ago, and his face was also very ugly. He believed that it was Yin's improper handling that caused Qingyun to suffer here.
"Fourth Master, we've discovered factions within the naval port. You must be extra cautious!" Fei Yanggu warned Yin.
