The fact that the First and Fourth Princesses, along with their children, accompanied Ye was a great surprise to many. Even many of the officials' wives were stunned.
If these princes are kept under house arrest, won't even the young princes and princesses be locked up?
After a quick lunch, Yin carried Qingyan to bed. Near the window, there was a crib with a little prince sleeping soundly inside.
"Sisi, are you alright here? Is it always this hot during lunch break?" Qingyan had only been lying down for a short while when she felt herself sweating profusely.
Finally, I had no choice but to turn on the air conditioning in the room to cool myself down.
"Isn't it good that Xiao Guai is here?" Yin was most worried about Qingyan and the children. The investigation of those people was still ongoing, and Yin was not at ease if he really went to find Qingyan and the children.
"Fourth Brother, I'll be by your side!" Qingyan was held tightly in Yin's arms, and she calmed down completely, slowly drifting into a dream.
As evening approached, Yin woke up from his sleep, looked down at the person in his arms, and felt very happy.
He glanced at the clock on the table; it was already past three o'clock. Soon, they would be going to Yin's courtyard for dinner. The banquet between the brothers must have been at the eldest brother's behest.
"Little darling, we should go to our elder brother's place!" Yin said directly.
Qingyan slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yin with a smile, and had her cheek pinched by him.
"Are you awake?" Yin leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Of course, shall we go to my sister-in-law's place?" Qingyan asked, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Hmm, should we prepare some gifts for my elder brother and sister-in-law?" Yin asked.
"Everything is ready!" Qingyan had specially prepared a lot of things. "I've included what each courtyard needs, hoping it will be of some help to everyone."
Upon hearing this, Yin felt relieved and stopped asking about it.
After the two got up, they changed into cool summer clothes, and Qingyan directed the servants to start preparing gifts for Yin's courtyard.
"Master, I've taken a look, and the kitchen is missing a lot of things. Moreover, the supplies are incomplete, and even many food items are gone!" Su Lan looked at the state of the kitchen and was worried that the Fourth Master might not have been able to use anything properly while he was confined here.
"What?!" Qingyan listened to Sulan's report and went straight out. The two of them went directly into the small kitchen. When Qingyan saw the things in the small kitchen, a bitter look appeared on her face.
No wonder Yin's face showed relief when she gave the thirteenth and fourteenth taels of silver.
"Little darling, what are you doing here?" Yin had the children pack their clothes, preparing to go visit him.
Qingyan's eyes reddened slightly: "Fourth Brother, they're bullying us so much! They only gave you these things!"
Yin glanced around the kitchen and shook his head: "Little darling, isn't this normal? Those people wouldn't expect that we'll still have to go out after all!"
The servants of the Imperial Household Department wished they could stay confined forever. Yin was a man of principle, so when he came out, he was bound to manage the servants of the Imperial Household Department. After several purges, these servants dared not speak out against Yin.
"They shouldn't have treated you like this! You're princes!" Qingyan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Yin quickly pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back to cheer her up.
"Little darling, it's really okay. From now on, you'll be in charge of tidying this up!" Yin said gently to Qingyan.
Qingyan blinked her teary eyes: "Fourth Brother, can we just deal with those people directly?"
"No." Yin took a silk handkerchief from his purse and wiped Qingyan's tears. "We're going to your elder brother and sister-in-law's place soon, so, do you want to wash your face?"
Looking at the simple kitchen, Yin sighed inwardly, thinking that he should have prepared some food there, as Su Peisheng had suggested.
"Master, didn't you not have a midnight snack last night?" Shu Yun saw that Yin didn't speak and understood that he must not have eaten anything, otherwise, why would Yin be so quiet?
"I've gained some weight recently. Don't you think I look my best now?" Yin could only coax her with Qingyan's words, afraid that she would get agitated again.
After Qingyan successfully changed the subject with Yin, he went to the inner chamber to freshen up before the whole family of five finally came out.
In Yin's courtyard, Lady Yin Genjueluo was shocked by the situation in the small kitchen. Not only was there no food, but there were also very few vegetables. Fortunately, she had brought a lot of things with her and had bought a lot of other things before coming here.
"Sister-in-law, I brought you a lot of food." Qingyan went to find Yingenjueluo, Yin went to find Yin, and the children went to find Songkelierha and Duoxihun. The family split into three directions.
When Yin Genjue Luo heard Qing Yan's voice, she looked up and saw Qing Yan standing at the door.
"Little darling, you've finally come!" When Yingenjueluo saw Qingyan, she seemed to have found a relative and immediately started complaining to Qingyan.
After Peony went to the kitchen, she quickly went to find Lady Yin Genjue Luo and told her everything that was inside. Lady Yin Genjue Luo was astonished.
"Sister-in-law, the Fourth Prince's kitchen is even smaller than this one, and the food is much simpler!" Qingyan was speechless. How could the servants of the Imperial Household Department dare to do this? Had they heard some rumors? If the princes who were confined here were to rise to power, these servants would have a very hard time.
Qingyan walked up to the box that had been delivered, opened it, and found some food inside, which was definitely very practical.
"Little darling, you're a real lifesaver." Yin Genjue Luo looked into the box, which was full of food.
"Hehe, I brought quite a lot of things, and prepared a set for each courtyard. Sister-in-law, how long did my brother say we'd be staying here?" Qingyan also wanted to find out how much more they needed.
Yin Genjue Luo shook her head: "I don't know for now, but it's good to prepare more things!"
"Sister-in-law, once our younger siblings arrive, we need to carefully consider whether to bribe the purchasing servants here, or replace them with our own people," Qingyan asked directly.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do?" Ninth Princess Consort walked in and asked directly.
The Fifth Prince's wife followed closely behind, and all the wives met at the entrance of the courtyard. The princes went to their studies, while the women came here.
"Sister-in-law, we've all looked, and everyone's courtyards seem to be quite similar!" Fifth Princess asked several of her younger siblings and found that the situations were all roughly the same.
