At lunchtime, Yin hurriedly returned to the mansion. Xiao Guai was sitting at the dining table waiting. She had specially asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of food. Recently, her appetite had obviously increased, and she had not experienced any morning sickness. It has to be said that this child is really well-behaved.
However, the servants in the mansion were not very well-behaved. Many of them, relying on the fact that they were selected by the Imperial Household Department, were preparing to compete with Qingyan. Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she was unable to serve Yin at all. This was their opportunity.
Yin Dao didn't care about these servants. In the past, Li Shi, Song Shi and others in Yin Dao's backyard were implicated by him and sent to a nunnery by the family.
He may not take them into his backyard, but he will not allow them to marry other men.
Therefore, they were eliminated in the second round of the talent show, and some were even forced to become a disgrace to their families.
The nunnery was the best place for them. When Qingyan heard about their destination, she couldn't help but sigh. They were once imperial concubines who enjoyed wealth and luxury, but now they could only keep Buddha company with simple porridge and vegetables.
She never imagined that all of this was orchestrated by Yin; he simply wanted a quiet environment for Xiaoguai.
Li and Song were cultivated by the Imperial Household Department entirely according to his preferences. In the past, their schemes actually succeeded, but now she had to admit that these schemes were useless against him.
"Fourth Prince, shall we go for a stroll?!" Qingyan asked Yin, sitting on a large armchair with soft, layered soles on her feet.
He nodded. He had returned early precisely to take Qingyan with him when they went out, since he didn't want Qingyan to remain confined to the mansion. The primary wives around him, if they were pregnant, basically dared not go out. Even the First Primary Wife had changed the time she would pay her respects to Consort Hui.
Consort Hui has come to terms with this. After all, the First Princess also hopes for the safe birth of her first legitimate son or daughter. After Xiao Guai became pregnant, Consort Tong gave many instructions on these precautions, and told Yin to be careful of the petty thoughts of the servants outside and in the mansion, which might cause considerable trouble for Qingyan.
"Really?!" Qingyan was very surprised. Finally, she could go out for some fresh air. She had to stay in the mansion every day, and it would be a miracle if she was in a good mood.
Yin smiled. Could he possibly take back his words?
He started serving Qingyan food, encouraging her to have more of her lunch.
After a while, Xiao Guai started experiencing some morning sickness, and her chubby little body might become thinner again. Consort Tong always said that it's a blessing for pregnant women to be able to eat.
Not everyone has the chance to eat as much as Xiao Guai. Even Yin Genjue Luo Shi mentioned that the child in Xiao Guai's belly really loves his mother.
Yin felt a surge of pride; his child was so well-behaved, he was sure to be a good child from birth.
After lunch, Yin still forced Qingyan to take a nap in his arms, and only after waking up did he leave the mansion with Qingyan.
She was wearing loose-fitting casual clothes, and her flat stomach didn't reveal that a little one was already inside. It has to be said that Qingyan's pregnancy surprised many people.
Qingyan was coveted by many wealthy women, and the New Year's gifts they sent to her were often tainted with something unpleasant, yet she never received any of them.
"Fourth Prince, should we return those problematic New Year's gifts?" Qingyan's anger flared up instantly when she thought of what Imperial Physician Yuan had said.
Those people gave her many valuable gifts, but at the cost of harming her body. She understood that this was just a way for them to help their own children rise in rank, but she had to admit that their methods were too despicable.
"Of course!" Yin had already made arrangements. All the drugged items were to be delivered to the daughters of the families who gave them the gifts. Who would dare not use the items sent by the Fourth Prince's Mansion?
Besides, if Yin is going to make it clear that he is sending them, those women will definitely not make a fuss if they see the label from their maternal family.
"Hehe..." Qingyan was in a great mood. This was fine. After all, she didn't want to make a big fuss.
Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong both hoped that the two children could be more patient and wait until the children were born. Yinzhi had a very stubborn temper, and if those people found a handle against him, they might attack him directly.
Walking along the road, Qingyan breathed in the fresh air, thinking about how she had been locked up in the mansion for days, and how she probably wouldn't have been able to get out if Yin hadn't returned early.
Instantly, her face fell. It was necessary to let her out for fresh air every day; if the weather was bad one day, she would probably have to stay inside the mansion.
Pregnant women need to relax, Consort Tong kept reminding him of this, so Yin naturally paid special attention to Xiao Guai's mood.
Every time Qingyan noticed a woman leaning against him, she would start to exude a cold aura, but he was secretly pleased, as she rarely showed any childlike behavior.
"Fourth Brother, shall we go to the teahouse to watch a play?" Qingyan knew that a teahouse had opened nearby. She had wanted to go there for a long time, but Yin had never had the time. This time, she finally had a way to go, so why should she wait?
"No way!" Yin Ke didn't want his two children to start talking glibly as soon as they were born.
Qingyan flattened his mouth. This is clearly just for amusement.
"Little darling, bear with it for the sake of the child. You don't want the child to become irresponsible as soon as he comes out, do you?" Yin said seriously.
Instantly, Qingyan's face darkened. Was the child already being rejected by his father before even being born?
"Hmph!" Qingyan showed no respect for Yin Yan and ignored him on the main street.
