Qingyan, with his hair loose and wearing a pink undergarment, sat on the soft couch, his eyes filled with a deadly allure from Xiaoguai.
"Hmm, why didn't you call me?" Qingyan complained to Sisi, "We need to prepare dinner soon!"
Yin changed Qingyan into a light blue casual outfit and brought her a cup of warm honey water to feed her.
"I've asked Sulan to prepare, so don't move." Yin let Qingyan sit on the soft couch. No one should be coming over now, so she didn't need to wear heavy clothes anymore.
"Fourth, the imperial chefs in the Imperial Kitchen must be complaining about me!" Qingyan often tormented these servants, and she was a little resentful. These people were obviously the head chefs, and they should know about her daily meals.
He casually pinched her little nose; not just anyone would dare to let Kangxi eat ordinary food.
"How could that be? Servants are meant to serve their masters. If the master has to do everything, what use are these people?" Yin shook his head. Xiao Guai was still too soft-hearted towards these people. In his eyes, servants were there to serve him.
Yin put his arm around Xiao Guai's waist and they sat together on the soft couch. He had just opened a window on one side, and from their position, they could see the scenery outside.
"Fourth Prince, how long will we be staying at the Prince's residence?" Qingyan was a little puzzled. Kangxi hadn't mentioned building a residence in the palace. Did they have to live in the palace forever? They wouldn't have any freedom at all!
Yin remained calm. In his previous life, he and Qingyan had lived here for ten years before they had their own residence. This life was clearly much faster than the previous one. He calmly watched the little guy complaining to himself.
“After a while, the Empress Dowager’s health will be poor, and the concubines will have to attend to her at any time. You granddaughters-in-law will also be part of that. Fortunately, you don’t have to take care of the Empress Dowager all the time!” Yin was glad that Xiao Guai didn’t have to suffer this grievance.
Consort Tong arranged for two concubines of the rank of Pin to attend to the Empress Dowager every day. Many of the concubines felt resentful, as the Empress Dowager was already healthy, yet they were still made to do these things.
These past few days, Consort Rong and Consort Yi have been taking turns on duty, but the Empress Dowager has not given them a kind look, especially Consort Rong, who is always the most exhausted person when she goes to attend to the sick.
It is well known that Consort Yi and Consort Rong had an extremely good relationship. Seeing the two of them, the Empress Dowager, without saying a word, immediately started making trouble for them. As she grew older, the Empress Dowager became increasingly indifferent to the opinions of others, caring only about her own feelings.
"Hehe, I know. There have been quite a few jokes circulating in Cining Palace. It's said that Consort Rong was quite tormented while attending to her illness!" Qingyan was somewhat gloating. She always got into trouble with Dong E Shi. This time, she finally had a chance to let Consort Rong taste her own bitterness.
"Tomorrow, you will also be going to Cining Palace. Your father said that you granddaughters-in-law should go with your mother. You can't go wrong by following your mother's arrangements," Yin said quickly. "In the afternoon, Consort Rong will take over, and the Empress Dowager will definitely keep your mother here. You will stay in Cining Palace under your mother's protection and wait for your father and me to bring you both back in the evening!"
Originally, Consort Tong was the thorn in the Empress Dowager's side. Consort Tong, whom Emperor Kangxi genuinely loved, aroused the jealousy of the Empress Dowager, who had always been neglected. Now, when Consort Tong was seriously ill, she was unable to manage Yinzhi's harem, and a child was born.
Within the palace, rumors circulated that the child's fate was incompatible with that of the Empress Dowager, and many people believed it to be true.
In addition, people from the Imperial Observatory entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation and had a long private conversation with Emperor Kangxi.
In fact, Qingyan has put a lot of effort into spreading rumors!
"Fourth Prince, I didn't spread this rumor, but I did play a part!" Qingyan looked at Yin with a smile. Who told Dong E Shi to always scheme against her? This time, she was going to get her revenge.
puff!
Yin laughed. The little guy was finally not confused anymore. He wouldn't always passively compromise. Sometimes, he would even show his little claws and swat them out.
"Good, you did a good job this time. You didn't give outsiders any leverage, which is excellent." Yin praised Xiao Guai with satisfaction.
****************************
At four o'clock in the morning, Qingyan was awakened by Sulan. She changed into a pale yellow palace dress, put two cloisonné butterfly hairpins in her hair, had breakfast, and then went straight to Cining Palace.
Last night, Yin told Xiao Guai not to be too flashy in front of the Empress Dowager. In the Empress Dowager's eyes, jewelry with Mongolian characteristics is the best choice.
"Your Highness, Consort Shu came ahead of time and asked me to tell you that if you see the Consort making things difficult for the neighboring courtyard, you should pretend you didn't see it and not speak to her or plead for her!" Shu whispered to Qingyan.
This time, the Empress Dowager was truly enraged, clearly believing that Yinzhi and Consort Dong'e were opposing him.
Even the high priest was invited by the Heavenly Queen to tell the fortune of the illegitimate son.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle. Those people weren't fortune tellers at all; they were basically all liars.
The high priest might be capable; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Khorchin. Those who speak well of the Empress Dowager might have been arranged by Emperor Kangxi.
"Yes, I understand!" Qingyan arrived at Cining Palace and was surprised to see Consort Rong and Lady Dong'e standing at the door.
"Your Highness Consort Rong, Third Princess Consort!" Qingyan bowed halfway to Consort Rong and Lady Dong'e, and both of them said they dared not accept such a bow.
Consort Tong was quite satisfied with Xiao Guai's actions. The little guy was quite good; he understood that it was important to maintain appearances in public.
