The women were exhausted after several days of travel, but the three little ones were in high spirits and often gathered in the carriage, the one big and the two little ones making a ruckus together.
“Sister-in-law, there’s still a way to deal with these three children. Songkelierha is a bit lonely in the mansion, and the concubine’s daughters are being taught by the other wives, which makes them too distant from her!” Yingenjueluo believed that this was the best way to teach the children.
The residences of royal family members and princesses were mostly occupied by families with multiple wives and concubines. It was rare to find someone like Yin who treated his female relatives with such devotion.
Therefore, which mother wouldn't want a son-in-law like Yinzhen? The young ladies-in-waiting had already set their sights on the Fourth Prince, but Emperor Kangxi made it clear beforehand that no young ladies would be allowed into the Fourth Prince's residence.
Many families' hopes were dashed, believing that Yin's residence was the most difficult to enter.
"Sister-in-law, when we return to the capital, please bring Songkelierha to the Fourth Prince's residence often. It would be good for us to get together more often." Qingyan had Sulan prepare a lot of snacks so that Songkelierha could have some snacks when he was bored.
"Little darling, you've prepared enough!" When Yingenjueluo saw that Little darling was planning to have Sulan prepare more, she quickly stopped her.
Qingyan nodded, and Songkelierha held the egg tarts in both hands, eating them like a little squirrel.
The two sisters-in-law couldn't help but smile as they looked at the adorable little girl. Each of them held a swaddled baby in their arms, their smiles radiating toothlessness.
It was nearly afternoon when the mother and daughter, Yin Genjue Luo, finally left. Qing Yan looked at the twins sleeping in the stroller and felt relieved.
"Master, the master is here!" Su Lan carried the dinner into the carriage and saw her master looking at the twins with affection.
Since the birth of the two little masters, the Fourth Prince was worried that Qingyan's attention would be diverted, so he always had the nanny and Sushu take turns taking care of her.
"Call the nanny over!" Qingyan glanced at her pocket watch; it was time as Yin had set.
The three of them spent very little time together, only a few hours during the day. After Yin returned, he would focus all his attention on him.
"Yes!" Su Lan replied, her face lowered, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Qingyan was afraid that if Yin came back and saw the three of them being all lovey-dovey, she would be punished again that night.
Later, Yin dragged his tired body in. The corners of his clothes were covered in yellow mud. In the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor could have roads paved with yellow earth.
"Little darling..." Yin walked in, changed into his everyday clothes and washed up. He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Were you happy today?"
Yin specially invited Lady Yingenjueluo over, since Yin and Lady Yin's duty hours were similar, and it was good for the two sisters-in-law to see each other often.
She nodded. The two little ones played with Songkrilha all day, even taking their afternoon nap together.
It was not easy for the three children to have such a friendship. It is rare for royal children to have such a pure friendship. Yin hoped that Yiken'e could help Songkelierha.
After all, there was a significant age difference between Yin's eldest son and eldest daughter. After Songkri Yierha got married, Yiken'e was already an adult and could help her sister.
"Songkelirha really likes the two children; the three little ones move in unison." Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled that scene; it was truly hilarious.
Pfft!
Yin knew that Xiao Guai liked children. When they first got married, Xiao Guai's attention was focused on Songkelierha whenever she appeared, which made him even more jealous.
"Did you take a nap?" Yin asked.
The two children have a fixed amount of sleep. If they get enough sleep during the day, the two little ones will be restless at night.
After discovering this situation, every time Yin returned to the manor, he would first ask the servants if the two young masters had slept enough.
“Yes, Songkrijirha slept with her, and all three children woke up at the same time.” Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh as she recalled the scene during their afternoon nap.
Yin Genjue Luo always says that Songkelierha has changed a lot in front of her two children, and is like an older sister taking care of her younger brother and sister.
Qingyan smiled slightly. When it came to her younger siblings, she realized that girls tend to grow up much faster than boys.
He didn't care; boys don't focus on that. Girls, on the other hand, value family harmony more.
"Alright, let's have more children in a few years. The twins will definitely be responsible too!" Yin was very confident in his children; they were the most responsible.
She smiled. Yinzong had exceptional confidence in his children. On the surface, Yinzong was very strict with Yiken'e, but in reality, he cared most about his eldest son.
"Sisi...you really are...they're still babies in swaddling clothes!" She instantly expressed her helplessness.
His low, deep voice made her blush.
Which parent doesn't praise their child to the skies? To outsiders, Songkrijerha probably seems like an unsociable person.
"Dinner looks good!" Yin glanced at the dinner on the table; it was mostly his favorite dishes.
On the road, even the Emperor himself could not often eat his favorite foods; the menu had to be determined based on the ingredients available in the Imperial Kitchen.
“Yes!” Qingyan nodded proudly. Before leaving the mansion, she specially purchased the ingredients that Yin liked the most. Their mansion had the most carriages. Apart from the two carriages that belonged to the master, the rest were all ingredients brought from the capital.
"It's really great!" He praised Xiaoguai from the bottom of his heart.
Among the wives, only Lady Yin Genjue Luo and Xiao Guai would prepare extra things, while the other wives did not. On the way, the Third Prince often complained to her that the food on the road was really bad.
"Third Brother complained for a long time, saying that the food was not good and Third Sister-in-law did not prepare much before leaving!" Yin wanted to laugh. Yin Zhi only had two snacks to go with his drinks. Compared with his eldest brother and himself, the difference was too great.
ah?!
Qingyan was stunned. Consort Tong had instructed Shu to inform the wives to prepare more ingredients.
"Third Sister-in-law didn't bring anything? Mother told me beforehand!" Qingyan asked curiously.
Did Shu not explain this to Consort Rong and her mother-in-law?
"Yes, Third Brother often complains that he even has to skimp on snacks to go with his drinks." He was somewhat gloating. In the past, Yinzhi had often used Consort Rong to annoy Yin.
Back then, Lady Wuya treated Yinzhi badly, and Consort Rong often sent things to Yinzhi, so he could only think of Consort Tong silently at night.
He must walk the same path he once walked in this life; otherwise, Yin would be even more heartbroken.
"Huh?!" Qingyan asked hesitantly.
Yin held Xiao Guai's hand, and the two walked to the dining table together. Su Lan had personally prepared the dinner, sending a portion to Kangxi and Yin's carriages, and even to Yin Zhi's carriage. Whether they ate it or not, it was all a token of their care.
"Eat quickly!" Yin picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, urging her to eat. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
