During the greetings, news of Consort Tong's mother-in-law versus Consort Rong's mother-in-law spread throughout the camp, and the guards had to admit that Emperor Kangxi was indeed very biased.
They became even more respectful to the Fourth Prince and his wife, and they always followed Emperor Kangxi's wishes.
Inside the tent, Qingyan smiled and talked to Yin, feeling genuinely happy. He had so much that Dong Eshi was left speechless with frustration.
"Little darling, in a good mood?" Yin had to admit that Dong Eshi needed to be taught a lesson.
She nodded her little head, but her peripheral vision caught sight of the Buddhist scriptures on the desk. Because Kangxi had left Suzhou early, he hadn't even gone to Hanshan Temple! Following Qingyan's gaze, he saw the Buddhist scriptures. He had to admit that Xiaoguai was really sincere. Kangxi and Consort Tong were preparing to go to Hanshan Temple to deceive others.
"After returning to the capital, I will have these scriptures enshrined at Hongluo Temple!" He didn't want Xiaoguai's efforts to be in vain.
Qingyan nodded her little head. She liked this. Besides, Hongluo Temple was even more famous. It had been a royal temple since the Ming Dynasty.
"From today onwards, you shall stay in your tent and copy scriptures." Yin directly placed Qingyan under house arrest in a disguised form. Dong E's sarcastic remarks were probably due to the instability in Yin Zhi's harem. Recently, Kangxi was angered by officials from Jiangnan. Initially, their instability was just a matter of instability in their harem, but in the end, it led to bitter consequences.
Qingyan pouted, disliking confrontation with others, but that didn't mean she disliked watching a show!
"Be good, there's a good show coming, Mother will let you go!" When Yin paid his respects, Kangxi secretly ordered Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan to stay at home.
Ugh!
Qingyan reluctantly compromised; as long as there was a show to watch, that was enough.
"Fourth Prince, Mother choked Consort Rong so badly she couldn't even speak!" Qingyan recalled the struggle inside the tent and felt truly ashamed. Consort Tong had clearly taught her a lesson on how to satirize sewing without using any vulgar language.
Pfft!
Yin couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Consort Tong had noticed Qingyan was always being silenced, so she decided to give a live demonstration.
He looked at her with adoration, her eyes sparkling, and felt a pang of jealousy.
"You should learn more. Your mother has spent a long time in the palace, and getting along with the concubines is an art. Don't be foolish and jump into a pit!" Yin sighed helplessly.
Every time there was a festival, and they were going to hold a banquet at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he would be extremely worried, fearing that the banquet would be mistreated.
He wouldn't worry if she had half of her mother's abilities.
"Fourth Brother, I understand!" Qingyan sat at his desk, washed his hands and burned incense, and began to seriously study Buddhist scriptures.
Yin was handling official business at another desk. With her by his side, he always felt that Jingyue was wonderful, and his cold aura subsided.
As evening approached, Qingyan put down his brush, shook his aching wrist, and couldn't help but wonder if he could really finish copying it dozens of times before going to the capital.
The two had dinner in their tent. The table was set with mostly roasted food, which was quite delicious and something they would never have been able to eat in the capital.
"Sisi, can we come here again?" Qingyan ate the roasted whole lamb and Jiangnan dishes, wondering when the next time would be.
Yin smiled, she was already thinking about when they would come over even before they had left Jiangnan.
"meeting!"
Qingyan didn't like the food itself, but rather the life she shared with Yin, a life free from court intrigues, where the two of them could live a leisurely existence.
"From now on, whenever I go out of the capital to handle matters, I will take you with me unless it is a matter of safety!" Yin knew that there would be many opportunities to go out of the capital in the future.
This time, he planned to keep his wife by his side and take good care of her himself, and he would absolutely not trust any outsiders.
"Okay!" Qingyan smiled.
Originally, she thought she would be staying in the mansion for a long time, as the ladies of the court rarely went out except for gatherings and burning incense.
She was raised to be wild and untamed since childhood, so she definitely couldn't bear such a stifling life.
After dinner, Yin took her for a stroll, and he couldn't help but recall the time when Xiao Guai mocked Dong E Shi.
Inside Chenggan Palace, after dinner, Emperor Kangxi would take Consort Tong for a stroll under the night sky, often being held by Li Dequan while standing at a distance.
Childhood memories resurfaced in his mind: his little princess loved to cry, play, and make a fuss.
She was still that soft and cute little girl, while he had grown up and was now able to shelter her from the wind and rain.
"Fourth Brother..." Qingyan noticed that Yin's eyes had changed and called out to him anxiously. She didn't like the look in Yin's eyes.
"Um?!"
Yin walked slowly with Yingenjueluo and Songkelierha. The two brothers smiled slightly as a greeting. Qingyan was led by him to continue walking forward. Soon, they saw the Third Prince and his wife at the fork in the road.
Their situation was no longer as harmonious as that of their two families. The two seemed to be arguing about something. Yin and Yin looked at each other and prepared to drag their respective wives back.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait a minute!" Dong Eshi was annoyed that Qingyan had seen her and Yinzhi's embarrassing moment.
Qingyan pouted helplessly and turned to look in the direction of Dong Eshi.
It turned out that a petite woman was standing next to Yinzhi, and she looked quite unfamiliar.
"Third brother, this person is..." Yin sensed something was wrong and only wanted to dissuade Yin Zhi. It would be unsightly for the couple to quarrel in public, and besides, Yin Zhi represented the royal family.
“Brother, this is a dark cloud!” Yin Zhi said. “It’s the princess I took in on the grassland.”
Qingyan's lips twitched slightly. The name in Mongolian was really strange. Wuyun, when translated into Chinese, means wisdom.
She hoped that the dark cloud in front of her wouldn't bring a thunderstorm. The cloud had a beautiful face and a soft, sweet voice that was very attractive to men.
“Brother, the Crown Prince’s concubine has not yet been presented with her jade tablet, how can this princess serve tea first?” Dong E said coldly.
It turned out that Wuyun had asked to serve tea to Dong Eshi first, which was considered to have gone through the proper channels. Otherwise, none of the servants who followed her out of the mansion would have taken her seriously.
Qingyan smiled and thought to herself, "Consort Rong just made fun of Consort Tong, saying that the Crown Prince's concubine was being improper. And now this is what happens to the princess next to Yinzhi. It's really making us a laughing stock."
"What?!" Yin also came over, and when he heard the conversation mentioning Gegenhas, he couldn't help but stop and ask me.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Yin, Yin Zhi, and Yin, along with their families, bowed to Yin Zhi.
"Enough, all of you, get up." The Crown Prince knew that Kangxi was angry. Gegenhas's tribe was too close to the Borjigit clan, and he had brought trouble upon himself.
The dark cloud beside Yinzhi was originally intended for the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince, fearing that Kangxi would be angered, gave it to Yinzhi instead.
"Third sister-in-law, this princess is different from my concubine. A concubine's records are kept in the imperial archives, while this princess is merely a formality!" the Crown Prince said arrogantly. (To be continued.
