Along the shores of Slender West Lake, the roadside grasses are lush and green. The afternoon sunlight shines on people, making them feel warm, no longer the cold feeling they once had.
After taking a walk with the children, Yin and Qingyan spread a large picnic blanket on the lawn and had Sulan and Suzhu put the prepared lunch on it.
Soon, Hafenga clapped his little hands and happily began exchanging them.
“Bean paste.” Hafenga pointed at Bean Paste with his short, stubby little finger.
"This is for you!" Yiken'e placed the bean paste directly into Hafeng'a's bowl. After Hafeng'a had the old woman wash her hands, she grabbed the bean paste and started eating it.
All three children started eating on their own at a very young age. Before they were a year and a half old, Qingyan basically let them eat by their own hands, for fear that the spoons would hurt them.
"Si Si, why did Xi Lian jump into the lake?" Qing Yan's gossipy nature was aroused, and she looked at him with curiosity and asked.
The twins exchanged a glance, reached for food, and didn't care at all about Yin's feelings.
"You two should also give your opinions!" Qingyan wanted the whole family to think about it. Whenever a similar situation arose, Qingyan hoped that Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafendo would think about it. After a girl gets married, she will definitely have to face infighting among the women.
The twins looked at Yin and asked him to give his opinion first.
"This woman is a young concubine sent by the Cao family. She is the illegitimate daughter of Cao Yin's half-brother and has been raised in the Cao family since childhood. Before we arrived, Cao Yin specifically sent a message here, instructing the stewards to arrange for her to serve in the imperial palace. The steward of the imperial palace is a man who knows the rules. In the south, he couldn't afford to offend the Cao family, so he specially arranged for her to learn etiquette. This way, Kangxi wouldn't think he was abusing his power for personal gain, nor would he offend Cao Yin!" Yin sighed.
Qingyan's almond-shaped eyes widened; there was so much more to it than met the eye.
"Father, why were you released?" Yiken'e was secretly relieved that Hafeng'a's short legs were fast enough. If she had bumped into him, he would have fallen into the lotus pond and would have survived.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have been released. It's not that the nanny raised her eyes too high and hurt his pride!" Qingyan's lips curled up slightly. "If a servant wants to lose his pride while serving his master, then he has ambitions!"
When this woman spoke, Qingyan almost thought she had traveled from another time, but her demeanor and eyes didn't seem quite right.
“Mother, this woman is not well-behaved. She clearly saw our family boating on the lake, but then she jumped into the lake behind us. Don’t you find that very strange?” Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen shook his head and said, “Moreover, she was wearing flowerpot shoes. The corridor is paved with bluestone bricks. If she ran, we should have heard the sound, but this woman did not make a sound at all.”
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen's questions stunned Yiken'e. These were all real problems. If they were true, they must have been targeted by someone again.
“Hutulifengshengzhalafen, this woman was sent to the palace, she should be keeping an eye on Mafa, how could she be keeping an eye on our family!” Yiken’e objected.
Yin and Qingyan caused the brother and sister to quarrel. The two looked at each other, listened to their brother's words, and fell into deep thought.
"Mother, you be the judge!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen's eloquence is not as good as Yiken'e's, and in the end, he will definitely not be able to win the argument, so he will ask Yin or Qingyan to judge.
“I think what my daughter said makes sense, but it’s not the whole story. We should be keeping an eye on all the royal women. You should be the first choice, and then the other princes!” Qingyan said to Yin.
Pfft!
Yin smiled and nodded: "Xiao Guai is right. This woman is quite ambitious. In the past two days, she must have used various excuses to try to get close to Father Emperor, but Father Emperor did not give her the opportunity."
A few days ago, Emperor Kangxi was staying in a courtyard in the Slender West Lake area, and these maids were constantly looking for excuses to get close to him.
Yin had a smile on his face, but Yiken pouted angrily.
“Father, if I were looking at you, why didn’t I keep bothering you?” Yiken’e had seen those women who fawned over him; they knew exactly how to seize an opportunity and would never let go.
Xi Lian, however, did not. After exchanging a few words with them, she knelt down to the side and did not persist.
“Zhang Desheng rescued her, not by sending one of my guards, which means I treated her as an ordinary servant!” Yin took every opportunity to teach the twins, especially Yiken’e.
"Is there a difference?" Yiken asked, puzzled.
“Of course, Zhang Desheng is your mother’s confidant. Although he used to be my servant, he hasn’t been by my side for a long time. He’s not a guard anymore. She has no best way out. If the guard saves her, it will ruin the girl’s reputation. She can easily rely on him.” Yin saw his son deep in thought and slowly explained the situation.
Qingyan and her daughter were listening nearby, and Qingyan even opened the video in her space to watch what was happening.
Yin Zhi actually came out. Qing Yan looked at the thin Yin Zhi and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
Kangxi wanted to continue his journey south, but to save face, he only kept Yinzhi by his side and did not send him back to the capital directly, nor did he confine him to a courtyard.
Now that his actions are not restricted in any way, Yinzhi believes that Kangxi has calmed down and has started to show off again.
"Father, do you think Xiao Dongzi will punish her?" Yiken'e quickly asked after digesting and understanding Yin's words.
"Probably. As long as no one stops her, this woman will just cling to people!" President Yin felt disgusted.
"As long as they don't try to take advantage of us!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen said angrily.
Pfft!
Yin and Qingyan looked at their daughter with smiles. The little one hated trouble the most. Whenever she encountered trouble, she would solve it directly with simple and crude methods.
"Mother, why are you making fun of me? Am I wrong? Once it gets sticky, it's like Guandong candy, it's so sticky!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen didn't like eating Guandong candy, she always thought it was sticky.
“That’s right, Yiken, you heard what your sister said. From now on, when you go out alone, you must be careful and never let someone like that come back to the manor.” Qingyin said directly.
Yiken tilted her little head back and nodded solemnly.
Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong also said that harmony in the inner palace allows a man to go further in life.
“Father, I know. Our mansion is significantly different from other mansions. Our mansion is much warmer and more peaceful, while other mansions are simply chaotic and unbearable to be in!” Yiken’e exclaimed.
