Before dinner, Yin returned to his residence. As soon as he entered, he saw two women dressed in pink and blue qipaos, looking at him with shy expressions.
Fei Yanggu followed behind, and his face immediately darkened when he saw the person in front of him.
"Who sent you here?!" Fei Yanggu asked coldly.
Yin knew that light blue was Xiao Guai's favorite color, and the two of them were clearly dressed up carefully, so they must have come for him.
"It's my older sister!" the girl on the left said sweetly, glancing timidly at Yin.
“What about the rules?!” Fei Yanggu said coldly.
Yin's lips curled up slightly as he went straight to find Qingyan. This little darling must have been wronged, and she certainly wouldn't want outsiders to talk about it.
"Little Darling!" As Su Lian entered Little Darling's courtyard, he quickly lifted the curtain of the inner bedroom.
Qingyan was sitting on the soft couch, sulking, when she was told in detail what the two girls had done.
"You've softened again?!" Yin bent his right index finger and gently stroked her little nose. "What did I tell you before?"
Qingyan lowered her head, feeling very upset.
"Sulan, go and invite Imperial Physician Yuan here!" Yin noticed that Xiao Guai's health had changed recently. If he could confirm it, at least he could use it as an excuse to avoid seeing those two again.
At this moment, she was still completely bewildered, not knowing what Yin was up to.
"Yes!" Su Lan hurriedly went out to find someone.
Fei Yanggu got two girls from E Shuo's side, which must have been arranged by their biological mother, and he became even more furious.
It had been several years since I last visited the old mansion, and Jue Luo Shi still hadn't managed to control the women in the inner quarters. Now that Yin was back, Xiao Guai should finally have someone to appease him.
"Fourth...Fourth..." Qingyan sighed, "Mother is really going to make trouble for me!"
Qingyan originally had a great appetite, and she has been very happy ever since she arrived.
Today, after being disturbed by the two of them, she has lost her appetite.
"In a moment, Imperial Physician Yuan will be here. Let him examine her!" Yin knew Xiao Guai's body like the back of his hand. He was the first to notice any slight change in her.
Before the Lunar New Year, Yin began to plan. It would be nice to have a child who was born on the same day and month as him.
Qingyan looked up at Yin. What was this guy saying now?
After a short while, an announcement was made outside that Fei Yanggu and his two sons had arrived.
“Father…” Qingyan said to Fei Yanggu in a coquettish tone.
"Alright, Father, let them go back to the old house!" Fei Yanggushe couldn't bear to see Xiao Guai unhappy, so his two daughters who weren't by his side were no longer his concern.
"No need. Let them enjoy a few days of comfort in the new house. Mother probably doesn't know where they went. Let Adun go and report to them!" Qingyan sighed, deciding to help them out.
The men chosen by Lady Jue Luo were merely paving the way for the Saito brothers; their character and age were not factors in her decision.
She felt a pang of sadness that two girls in their late teens were being sent away like this.
Fei Yanggu and Yin exchanged a glance; Xiao Guai clearly hoped to lend a hand.
If these two don't know their place, just ignore them and let them do what they want.
"Master, Imperial Physician Yuan is here!" Imperial Physician Yuan checks Xiao Guai's pulse every three days. Several times before, he said that Xiao Guai was very likely pregnant, but it was too early to be certain.
Originally, he was supposed to take the pulse again tomorrow, but judging from the appearance of the two women, they were clearly well prepared.
"This servant greets the Fourth Prince, greets the Princess Consort, and greets Lady Ulanara!" Imperial Physician Yuan had always followed Emperor Kangxi and had a good relationship with Fei Yanggu. Whenever Xiao Guai was sick, he would come to take her pulse.
"Rise!" Yin pointed in the direction of Qingyan. "Today, we should be able to confirm it, right?"
Yin noticed that Imperial Physician Yuan had been busy lately and hadn't had time to properly examine Qingyan's pulse.
Imperial Physician Yuan was the head of the gynecology department at the Imperial Hospital. He had once discovered when a concubine was a month pregnant. He knelt respectfully before Qingyan, carefully placing his hand on a silk handkerchief, his eyes closed, feeling for her pulse.
A moment later, a smile appeared on Imperial Physician Yuan's face. Sure enough, the Fourth Prince's scheming ability was even stronger than the Emperor's.
"Congratulations, Fourth Prince, the Princess Consort is pregnant. It's only been a month, and her pulse is still faint." After diagnosing the pulse of the Mongolian concubine, Imperial Physician Yuan was kept by Emperor Kangxi as his last resort.
real? !
Everyone in the hall was surprised. Fei Yanggu and the others were very happy. After Xiao Guai got married, the censors always focused on her belly. Yin was a well-behaved man and never had any affairs. There were no illegitimate sons or daughters in the Fourth Prince's mansion.
"A'dun, reward the servants with three months' salary," Fei Yanggu instructed the steward with a smile.
At this moment, Yin was still a little confused. Did she really have their child?
"Su Peisheng, go back to the Prince's Mansion and reward all the servants there with half a year's salary, and reward the servants in Xiao Guai's courtyard with a year's salary. Also, send someone to inform Father and Mother of the good news!" Kangxi had always been concerned about the matter of the heirs of the Crown Prince. He had a strong attachment to the eldest son.
"!"
At this moment, while the entire household was happy because of the joyous occasion of the banquet, the two girls living in the guest courtyard were not in such a good mood.
"Sister, the Fourth Prince's wife is really pregnant. Isn't this our chance?" As the younger sister, Negan envied Qingyan on one hand, and hoped to take Yin away from Qingyan on the other.
Nergi and Nergan were twin sisters. Their mother hoped that one of them would be clever and insightful, and the other gentle and virtuous. Their names reflected her expectations for them.
However, that person came from a humble background and neglected the education of his children, making the two sisters seem more like a two-faced person than their biological mother.
"Probably not. The Fourth Prince has deep feelings for his wife. We were able to take refuge because of her." Nerji was a sensible person. Yin's methods were ruthless enough, and she didn't want to try it.
"Hmph, sister is so timid. Even if Mother hadn't said anything, there's no guarantee the child would grow up safely. How many children in the manor have grown up safely? Fourth Princess Consort hasn't experienced the struggles in the inner court. Her soft heart is entirely due to the protection of her father and brothers!" Negan was unwilling to accept this. The difference between legitimate and illegitimate daughters made her envious.
She just wanted to outshine Qingyan, hoping that her father and brothers would then focus their attention on her.
"You...wouldn't it be better if we just stayed safe? How did Ah Hun die?" They also had an older brother, whose actions at the Qingyan full moon celebration made Fei Yanggu completely despise him. Jue Luo Shi felt that the root of Fei Yanggu's dislike for her was that banquet.
Two years later, the Jue Luo clan had their maids poison her, and their maid, Ah Hun, died vomiting blood.
"Heh, the Fourth Prince's wife hasn't learned a single trick of the First Wife's." Nergig planned to take revenge on Qingyan's son for Ah Hun's hatred. (To be continued.
