During dinner, Fei Yanggu specially had a jar of Daughter's Red wine opened. This was the wine he had personally buried when Qingyan was born. When Qingyan got married, Ulanara opened ten jars of Daughter's Red wine. Now, he had two more jars sent to the palace, as a way of announcing the good news to Qingyan's in-laws, according to custom.
If Kangxi and Feiyanggu were not close, he probably wouldn't have treated them as relatives through marriage.
Inside the Chenggan Palace, Kangxi looked at the two large jars of Daughter's Red wine, and his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. If Fei Yanggu hadn't been happy, he certainly wouldn't have sent this top-quality Daughter's Red wine into the palace.
"Xuan Ye, is Xiao Guai really pregnant?" Consort Tong felt it was strange that Yin would reveal the news of Xiao Guai's pregnancy so soon after the first month of the lunar calendar. Wasn't that a bit inappropriate?
"Two concubine's daughters have gone to the new residence. Yin has his own ideas. There will be another general election in March. Even if the Empress Dowager is concerned about her great-grandson, she won't cause trouble for Qingyan." Kangxi had to admit that Yin had grown up and was starting to plan for his own family.
"The child has grown up!" Consort Tong told Shu to quickly prepare some things that would be good for the pregnant woman, and also sent her experienced nanny to teach Sulan for a few days.
She wouldn't send her personal maids over, after all, the people Consort Tong brought were from the Tong family.
The new house was filled with joy, with Nergi and Negan both wearing smiles. Qingyan felt it was somewhat fake, as if the two sisters were plotting something.
She squeezed his left hand, but the smile on her face didn't reach her eyes. Yin was even more annoyed. Xiao Guai had just been diagnosed with pregnancy and had already started to act up. Regardless of why these two concubine daughters came, Yin immediately added them to his blacklist.
Nergi and Negan were confident that they could deal a blow to Qingyan, so they showed their best side to Yin.
"Father-in-law, these two are..." Yin Ke didn't want Xiao Guai to have any lingering resentment, so he directly pushed the two of them out.
Fei Yanggu's face darkened instantly upon seeing their behavior. He had to take the issue of upbringing in the old mansion seriously. Qingya had been sent to Mongolia, where the rules were different. The Jue Luo clan would probably leave the two of them in the capital.
“They are illegitimate daughters, A-Dun. Send them back to the old house and personally tell the madam what to do!” A-Dun appeared at the door. The two girls felt a chill. They had bribed the servants at the door, saying they were going out to offer incense.
"Father, we can go back by ourselves!" The two girls quickly shook their heads; they were truly terrified of the Jue Luo clan's methods.
Fei Yanggu smiled coldly. He knew their little schemes. The concubines hoped that their daughters could compete with the legitimate daughter. As long as they could win the favor of the Fourth Prince, even the legitimate wife and Fei Yanggu would not say anything.
Qingyan's eyes widened in surprise. What else did they want to do?
"Isn't it too safe for just the two of you to go back?" Qingyan wasn't going to let them go so easily.
Yin echoed, and Negan understood from the situation that Qingyan's words could completely ruin their scheme.
"Listen to Xiao Guai!" Fei Yanggu thought that Xiao Guai was concerned about her younger sisters, which was why she had someone deliver the food.
"Master, have someone send them here," Qingyan said, turning to Yin.
He glanced at them coldly, then nodded in agreement.
"Eru, do as the Fujin wishes!" Yin was in a bad mood. Originally, the new residence would have made Xiaoguai feel better.
The number of servants at the Fourth Prince's residence is constantly decreasing, and most of the new people sent by the Imperial Household Department have been sent back.
After the two girls bowed, they avoided Qingyan and gave Yin a reluctant look.
Everyone present noticed their expressions. Qingyan turned her head to look and saw that they were only avoiding her, while Fei Yanggu and the others did not.
After the two concubine's daughters left, Qingyan's face remained gloomy. Today was an unexpected day. Xiaoguai announced that she was pregnant and came to her door with the two concubine's daughters, which was very strange.
Even if Lady Jue Luo disliked Qingyan, she should have taken care of Xiao Guai's feelings when she was pregnant.
Before dinner, her mood gradually improved. Consort Tong even sent all the items from last time to the new residence and had Shu convey her order that she would personally resolve the issues at the Fourth Prince's residence.
She looked at the food on the table, all prepared according to Qingyan's taste. Fortunately, she wasn't sick yet, otherwise, they would have had problems again.
"Little darling, after the baby is born, Your Majesty will personally take care of you during your postpartum period!" Shu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Little darling's surprise.
When it came to taking care of Xiao Guai during her postpartum period, even Consort Tong, let alone Consort Jue Luo, was not at ease with her.
Qingyan nodded, and Consort Tong helped her come up with a plan.
Yin was worried that the nannies would become arrogant, because the nannies sent by Consort Tong had previously acted like they were the only ones who mattered.
Shu Jianyin instructed Su Peisheng to store the medicinal herbs in the warehouse before taking his leave.
"Fourth Brother, should we give some of those medicinal herbs to Mother?" Qingyan looked at the medicines piled up in the storeroom. There were really too many; both mothers had to give them to her.
"Are you really going to give it away?!" Yin was a little puzzled. Why would Xiao Guai think of giving things away?
She nodded. The two illegitimate daughters went to the old house; who knows how they would report back?
"Sushu, go and tell Mother I'm pregnant. Also, send these medicinal herbs to the mansion!" Qingyan looked at Sushu and prepared to send her to the mansion.
Su Shu was given to her personally by Yin, so she should be the one who reacts the fastest.
"Sulan, go and deliver the pearl powder to the palace!" Qingyan checked the time; as long as she could enter the inner palace before the spoon was shoveled, it would be fine.
"Su Peisheng, you go with Su Lan!" Yin was worried that if Su Lan was delayed on the way, she would not be able to enter the palace.
If Xiao Guai's things can't be delivered to the palace tonight, who knows what those officials' wives will say about her.
“Yes…” Su Peisheng quickly agreed, took the waist token for entering the palace, and went out together.
Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder; the day had really passed too quickly.
"Fourth Brother, how did you know about the changes in my body?" Qingyan was a little confused and didn't notice the deep changes at all. It was always Yin who reminded her in advance about her period.
Pfft!
Yin laughed and said, "I know your body better than you do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyan's face turned red instantly; his words had been a bit too explicit.
Waaaaah!
Qingyan gripped the small hammer tightly and pounded on Yin with all her might. He had said those words in front of outsiders, and she had truly lost face.
"Little darling, it's just the two of us in the inner chamber!" Yin whispered in his ear.
"You can't say that!" Qingyan pouted, afraid that Yin would cause trouble again.
He bent down and kissed her little face, letting her nestle comfortably in his arms.
"Tomorrow, I must pay my respects to Mother!" Yin pondered. Tomorrow is the fifth day of the month, and the Fujin (wife of a high-ranking official) and other court ladies are required to pay their respects according to custom. "Tomorrow, you might get gossiped about by those people!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.
