With the general election concluded, the secondary consorts of Yinxiang and Yin were also selected. Kangxi recorded them directly, preparing to issue an imperial edict for the next general election.
Qingyan returned to the mansion, where Yinxiang and Yin were waiting for her in the flower hall. Yin sat in the main seat and scolded them for being too rash.
After hearing Yin's reprimand, Qingyan felt a pang of emotion. Yinxiang and Yin had really gone to great lengths.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you've entered the palace. How did the selection go?" Yinxiang asked anxiously.
"Alright, you two stop standing around here. My sister-in-law and I are just going through the motions. Your primary consort and secondary consort were both carefully chosen by Father Emperor!" Qingyan said directly.
Yinxiang and Yinxi should not have too high hopes for the selection of their sister-in-law; Kangxi was definitely not someone who could be persuaded by others.
The only person who could persuade Kangxi had already left, so no one could tell the truth.
"What?!" Yin was furious. "Didn't Father Emperor say that we can choose our own concubines?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhi and Yinxiang laughed without any sense of propriety. Kangxi talked about equality, but that was just for the people and his subordinates. In reality, the marriage arrangement had already been decided beforehand.
The two men discussed their choice of concubine, and both Yinxiang and Yin were fully aware of it.
"My little darling, how is your mother's health?" Yin asked abruptly.
"Not bad, her complexion is very rosy, she seems to have been well taken care of." Qingyan looked at Yin curiously, wondering why he hadn't suddenly mentioned whether Consort Tong was in good health.
"That's perfect!" Yin exclaimed.
Since their marriage, Yin has entrusted Qingyan with the task of looking after Consort Tong, and Qingyan has done a really good job during this time.
Yin obtained information from Imperial Physician Yuan about the people Qingyan had arranged for duty, and these were all done with care.
"Fourth, this year's talent show almost resulted in a death. We saw that at the end, a contestant was about to go up to the next level when she collapsed to the ground. Later, we had Momo check her shoes and found a razor blade inside."
What? !
In the past few years of talent shows, none of them have had as many bad things happen as Qingyan's year.
"What did Mother do?" Qingyan heard about the situation at the Ministry of Revenue.
"The investigation revealed that he was given 20 lashes." Qingyan sighed with admiration. Consort Tong was truly a talent, able to accurately identify this person's physique.
"Just 20 strokes of the cane?" Yin asked, puzzled.
He had been by Consort Tong's side for a long time, and this marriage arrangement was orchestrated by Consort Tong herself.
Such a punishment is not bad for a man. If he were in a better situation, Yin Gaishi and his wife would still be very harmonious.
"Yes, 20 lashes? I think that's a bit too much. Just how many people are coming to cause trouble?" Yin had a slight urge to transfer the shop to someone else.
These women are the most troublesome. They come to the talent show with great enthusiasm, but once the selection process actually begins, they are all under close scrutiny.
If anything seemed amiss in the Chuxiu Palace, it was reported to Emperor Kangxi. These people were all candidates, and he would not wrong his own son.
"Little darling, what are the backgrounds of the people in this talent show?" Yin was considering the arranged marriage between Saito and Eshuo, and thought that it would be good if there was someone of similar status.
"My sister-in-law said it's very impressive. Master, what are you planning to do?" Qingyan asked Yin.
hey-hey!
"Neither of my two maternal brothers has been betrothed, so I begged Father Emperor to find them gentle and considerate wives," Yin said, seeking credit.
Qingyan was exasperated. No wonder, Jueluo Shi wouldn't let her help find people anymore.
"Master, if Father Emperor sees what you've said, he'll definitely say something!" Qingyan hoped that her brothers could ask for marriage based on their military achievements, rather than relying on Yin's influence to obtain arranged marriages.
"Father is very anxious. He said that my two brothers-in-law are not young anymore, and of course he hopes that they can make a decision as soon as possible." Yin revealed some of the bargaining chips to Qingyan.
"You want to use this negotiation to get him to agree to these things?" Qingyan nodded.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about it. Just get all your things ready, and I'll talk to the two little ones." Yin took on the responsibilities of an older brother.
"They must be unhappy, Consort Tong directly rejected two people." Qingyan remembered that Consort Tong rarely rejected people, so it seems that their judgment is flawed.
"Fourth Brother, do you know about those two families?" Qingyan recalled what Yin had said: "If we want to investigate the power of these people, we'll need your help!"
Qingyan watched as Yin unfolded the letter and called the two old men to the library, where they were shown a room full of books. The old men were very happy.
In the study, the wallpaper on both sides of the wall has slowly developed cracks and needs a good rest.
“I know, these are two hidden families, so if you have any questions, don’t ask me. I’m just responsible for paying the bill,” Qingyan said helplessly.
At times, news travels very quickly.
"Alright, this several dozen kilograms of rice will probably last us a whole year." Yin smiled bitterly.
Every year, everything is distributed, and everyone checks their own allocation. If anything is missing, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
The twins rubbed their eyes and came out of the inner chamber, leaving the two pillows somewhere. When they were in a bad mood, they would grumble in front of Consort Tong.
"Lanya, we must seize this opportunity and quickly arrange marriages for those brats!" Kangxi exclaimed with deep emotion.
Qingyan recovered well after giving birth. If you follow Qingyan's methods, you should be able to lose weight.
Seeing that Lady Yin Genjueluo did not have the Eastern Ring, Kangxi quickly said.
Qingyan had a warm smile on her face, which made everyone who saw her feel warm and cozy.
"Alright, leave the betrothal to Mother. Just don't leave the family quarters!" Yin decided to postpone his trip. "I overheard Qingyan talking to her outside, which basically calmed all her emotions down."
Faced with the unruly behavior of the imperial clan members, who hoped that the heirs would also follow their lifestyle, she bought it. Later, she learned that there were unrecognizable cultural relics around the Imperial Academy, so Yin Si had been keeping an eye on them.
If she replenishes her energy and then starts to dislike those people again, it's better to try to establish rules according to the established norms. Qingyan has already thought it through.
As the time draws closer, the summer weather is starting to feel cooler; it seems to have suddenly turned cold.
"Alright, I'll finish it for you. When the time comes, just say you did it!" Yin said directly, reaching out to take out the bitter Chinese medicine. Others could make one with two people, but today, neither of them could pretend.
