As Qingyan waited with anticipation, the morning light of the third day slowly rose. As soon as Qingyan opened her eyes, she jumped out of bed, dressed in a pink undergarment and embroidered shoes, and directed Sulan to prepare lunch.
As Yin lifted the curtain and entered, he saw that she was full of joy, and her little face was full of happiness.
"You, hurry up and wash up. We need to send your father and mother their lunch too!" Yin Gang had just returned from the imperial boat. He agreed to Consort Tong's request that everyone have lunch together.
Aha!
The imperial kitchen prepared the ingredients that Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong liked, and all the soup bases were sent from Yinzhi's place.
"Mmm." Qingyan's complexion was much better than the previous two days. She was able to move around more and recover as soon as possible.
She changed into a lake-blue cheongsam, and her hair was adorned with a lotus flower pattern made of pink pearls, with cloisonné hairpins on either side. Her hair was styled in a double bun with a swallowtail style at the back.
"Why aren't you using the 'one-character' hairstyle today?" Yin was puzzled; Qingyan preferred that hairstyle.
"So heavy! Wouldn't it be lighter to have this kind of head?" Qingyan complained inwardly. It was all because she hadn't been properly diagnosed with baldness and thought that only a straight head could be this shape. Even if the wig was heavy, she would have tolerated it.
Now, she heard about the two little bosses from Su Lan, and her feelings changed instantly, though she felt a little heartbroken!
Xiao Zhaozi clenched her fist, pondering what to prepare, as this would be her first time hosting guests as the primary wife.
"You should prepare a few more non-spicy ones, Songkelierha will be coming along too!" Yin sighed, the little guy and Qingyan both love sweets. "Physician Yuan said to reduce the number of snacks Yierha eats and try to get her to have three meals a day!"
Qingyan flattened her mouth and wanted to take this opportunity to make more desserts.
"I know!" Qingyan pouted and went outside. After the two of them had a quick breakfast, she got busy.
Qingyan had just arrived at the kitchen when she saw the bone broth simmering at the bottom of the pot. This broth was specially prepared for Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong.
"Sulan, keep one portion of this and make three small pots." Songkriyirha liked tomato pot. "And use this bone broth to make a mushroom pot as well."
In most cases, Qing banquets use chicken or duck broth to make mushroom soup, but this place does not meet that requirement.
Just before lunchtime, she changed into her new palace attire. As soon as she came out, Yin was stunned.
"Didn't you change your clothes?" Qingyan glared at Yin angrily, but the other person hadn't reacted yet.
snort!
Men don't pay attention to details, so Yin should be more meticulous than the average person.
"Look, the previous outfit was like a budding purse, and look at this one... a fully blooming lotus!" Qingyan proudly tilted her head back. These were two palace outfits she had specially designed, and she rarely wore them on the same day.
Snap!
Yin patted his forehead and sighed helplessly.
Little Guai has used up all his cleverness on food and clothing; he'll be needed to protect you in other areas.
"Alright, as long as Xiaoguai likes it!" Yin realized he had said the wrong thing and softened his tone.
"Fourth Brother, I will do it properly after I'm better, and I won't embarrass you!" Qingyan sternly vowed to Yin.
After a short while, Yin arrived with his entire family. Songkelierha boarded the boat, saw Qingyan, and immediately pounced on him.
"Wok, Wok, Yierha is here!" Accompanied by a small pink figure, she rushed into Qingyan's arms like a small cannonball.
"Yierha, are you still feeling unwell?" The little one had also caught a cold, and Yingenjueluo had no choice but to stay in the cabin to take care of her, which is why she didn't go to the banquet.
"Alright, Wok, Yierha's egg tarts!" Yierha and Qingyan were together, and suddenly they looked about the same age.
Previously, Qingyan often helped Yierha smuggle food, which was difficult for Yin and Yingenjueluo to organize.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please come in quickly." Qingyan ushered the two into the living room. Yin stood up and offered Yin the seat of honor, while he himself sat in the lower seat.
Yin frowned. What... why is Yin here?
"The Crown Prince will be here soon," Yin said helplessly. "I've already spoken to the Crown Prince about Li Jia's matter."
"Unaware?"
"right!"
Yin Genjue Luo left the living room, leaving it to the two brothers.
"Sister-in-law, Li Jia is coming too!" Su Lan brought over the egg tarts, her little mouth pouting, in a terrible mood.
Before lunch, Li Jia followed the Crown Prince slowly in. The gold hairpins on her head made Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Qing Yan frown. She was obviously trying to suppress the two of them.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Shu has come over and said that the eldest princess should be brought to the imperial ship for lunch!" Kangxi gave his brothers a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Lady Yin Genjueluo felt very honored that Yierha had won Emperor Kangxi's favor, and that she would not suffer any grievances when she got married in the future.
"Okay, Yierha, be a good boy, Wok will take your hotpot over too!" Qingyan bent down and said to the little guy.
Li Jia stood at the door, seemingly ignored by the two. Songkelierha was Kangxi's own granddaughter, but her status was not high enough for a member of the royal family to pay her respects.
In an instant, Li Jia felt a great deal of resentment. She had to endure it and wait for the future, when the Crown Prince would ascend to a high position, so that she could use her superior status to demand that the two of them kneel and pay their respects.
"Fourth Princess Consort, are you feeling better? The other day, the Crown Prince took me to see you, but I didn't get to see you in person!" When Li Jia saw Shu leave with Songkelierha, her attitude was no longer as respectful as before, and she became exceptionally lazy and arrogant.
"Really? My second brother, the Crown Prince, has been taking care of me for over a month and knows my situation well. As for Consort Li, do you think this coral ornament is quite nice? Where has the Crown Princess not seen such exquisite jewelry? It must have been made from Linglong Pavilion, right?" Qingyan glanced at Li Jia's headdress and couldn't help but chuckle.
Linglong Pavilion had made a set of coral headdresses. Because too much coral and jewels were used, it appeared too luxurious. They originally intended to present it to Consort Detong during the New Year. However, just as it was finished and they were preparing to find a sandalwood box to package it, it was bought by a wealthy family. The price was beyond the reach of ordinary court officials.
Li Jia was speechless. This set of headdresses was a gift from her family. The headdresses from Linglong Pavilion Qingyan must know the price. She knew perfectly well how many bad things her family had done outside, relying on the Crown Prince's connections.
"Linglong Pavilion, Little Darling, is this your shop?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi and the Crown Prince's female relatives didn't get along, and on top of that, Li Jia Shi had a disdainful look on her face.
"Well, that set of headdresses was originally meant for Mother, but someone bought it for a high price, so I had to prepare another set for Mother." Qingyan complained to the First Princess Consort, as if he had been hit by a brick wall.
Li Jia's mood became increasingly nervous. She liked the headdress very much when she saw it, but also felt that it was a bit too extravagant.
Imperial Concubine!
This was also her vision for the future, planning to properly punish them after the Crown Prince ascended the throne. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
