As time went by, Yin and Qingyan got used to taking care of the two children. The day before the full moon celebration, Yin went home early, washed up, and went into the inner chamber. Qingyan could go out the next day, and his eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Really not going to stay in bed for two months?" Yinben wanted Qingyan to stay in bed obediently for two months. When Imperial Physician Yuan came to examine her, she directly asked him about her physical condition.
She nodded frantically; being confined to the bed felt awful.
"Fourth Brother, look at me, I'm perfectly healthy, aren't I?" Qingyan looked at him pitifully. It was the one-month celebration for their two children, a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she was determined to get up and celebrate it properly for them.
Even before the children were born, Qingyan had already begun preparing for the full-month celebration. She not only had Linglong Pavilion and Bolai Pavilion prepare things, but Bolai Pavilion was a shop under Qingyan's name that specialized in selling imported goods, and its business was always very good.
Every time, the imported goods that entered the Prince's mansion came from here. Qingyan put a lot of effort into the two children. The swaddling clothes and longevity locks on them were all carefully prepared by the embroiderers and master craftsmen of Linglong Pavilion.
After the longevity locks were made, Yinyou personally took them to Hongluo Temple, asked the abbot for the scriptures, and ensured that the children could grow up safely.
"That's good, little darling. Don't change in front of me. Just be a good mother in front of the children!" Yin was used to the way little darling was now, and the sudden change made him feel uncomfortable.
Qingyan looked up at his serious expression and nodded directly.
"Sisi, I'm still your little darling!" Qingyan smiled.
These past few days, she has thought a lot and hopes that Yin can give her a clear answer: should she transform into a dignified consort, or should she remain the same as before?
Yin smiled slightly. It was enough for Xiao Guai to be in his arms. The two children were merely a continuation of their lives. The children would grow up and leave them, but the two of them would be the ones to accompany each other until old age.
Early in the morning, Qingyan got up and took a nice bath with the help of Sulan and Sushu. It was really hard to have a postpartum period. Luckily, she didn't have to have a postpartum period when it was hot, otherwise she would have cried herself to death.
"Master, His Majesty wants you to have breakfast first, and then change into your everyday clothes for receiving guests!" Su Lan whispered to Qing Yan. In the inner chamber, the two young masters were still not awake. If she woke them up, the pressure of the duet would be too much for her to bear.
"Speaking so softly?!" Qingyan turned to look at Sulan. "Did the little guy tease you again?"
Qingyan couldn't help but recall a few days ago when Sulan raised her voice a little, and the little prince immediately started crying. Sulan stood there with her mouth agape, as if she had been acupunctured, staring wide-eyed at the little master in the carriage.
"Master!" Su Lan called out to her master in a coquettish tone, "You're teasing me again. Are you happy to see your servant being tormented by the young master?"
As Su Lan and Qing Yan spent more time together, they would sometimes say things that were disrespectful to each other.
"Sulan, today you will hold the little prince!" Qingyan was worried about the wet nurses of the two children, so Sulan and Sushu were to be assigned to the children's side.
Yin will definitely hold the little princess; that person has already become a family that dotes on their daughter.
"Master, Your Highness is holding the little princess, why aren't you holding the little prince?" Su Lan whispered to Qing Yan.
Qingyan reached out and patted her forehead; she had forgotten all about these things.
"Yes, let's replace the longevity lock with the lightest one today!" Qingyan whispered to Sulan.
They prepared several sets of longevity locks for the children, all of which were personally blessed by the abbot of Hongluo Temple. Emperor Kangxi valued these two children highly; the fact that the imperial family had twins put the people of Jiangnan at ease.
Those who wanted to object, seeing the twins growing up healthy, had even less reason to object.
After bathing, Qingyan came out. Yin had already changed the little princess into a pink swaddle, and a longevity lock made of gold thread hung around her neck, adorned with jade. This was designed by Yin himself and sent to Linglong Pavilion to be made.
"Eat first!" Yin glanced at the little prince and put his daughter back in the stroller.
The little boy saw that his father had only changed his sister's clothes, but his own hadn't moved, and he burst into tears.
Qingyan walked over with a black line on her face, picked up the bright yellow swaddle blanket next to her, and started changing it.
"Sisi, can't you put it on your son too!" Qingyan said coquettishly.
Yin glared at his son and said, "Your son was born to collect debts."
After breakfast, the two children held hands and waited for the adults to come over. Qingyan took a look and thought the two chubby little ones were very cute.
"Shall I carry the little princess?" Qingyan turned to look at Yin.
Instantly, his face darkened. The little prince had a grudge against Yin. Every time he picked up the little prince, the little guy would draw a map on Yin's casual clothes. He wouldn't draw a map on casual clothes that Qingyan had made himself.
“Hold the little prince!” Yin pointed to the little prince, and she took him out of the carriage.
In the morning, the wife of Prince Zhi and Lady Jue Luo arrived early to entertain the lady-in-law. Lady Jue Luo had a kind smile on her face, which was quite different from the full moon banquet of Qing Yan.
"Lady Ulanara, you've arrived early!" Lady Dong'e felt increasingly choked up as she looked at Lady Jue Luo's happy face.
The Third Prince's wife and Qingyan got married around the same time. Qingyan had twins, but the Third Prince's wife had no children.
"Lady Dong'e, my little darling has given birth, and as her mother, I must come and check on her. After the Third Prince's wife becomes pregnant, Lady Dong'e will probably spend even more time visiting the Prince's residence."
Dong Eshi was speechless, while Yin Genjueluo sneered inwardly. The Third Princess Consort was not well-liked in the royal family. Her sisters-in-law might even kick her while she was being bullied.
“Princess Consort of Prince Zhi, you are very open-minded. The eldest princess is already quite old, it’s time to give Prince Zhi a son!” Madam Mingzhu glanced at Lady Yingenjueluo.
Lady Dong'e had brought many gifts to show her respect, so she would definitely step forward on this occasion.
The hall fell silent instantly, and many people speculated about the jokes that were going on between the royal sisters-in-law.
“Madam Mingxiang knows a lot. My master treats Songkelierha very well and has never thought of letting the little girl suffer or leave. Yesterday, he even discussed with me that we should have another child in a few years. Songkelierha is his precious treasure.” Yin Genjueluo was not a pushover and no one could bully her.
To outsiders, the Nalan family was an asset to Yinzhen. However, Yinzhen knew that Yinzhen had argued with Mingzhu several times over the matter of Consort Hui, and their relationship had long been broken. Moreover, apart from going to the military camp, he no longer had any expectations for Kangxi's position.
Ever since the Crown Prince was viewed with suspicion by Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhi understood his predicament; if he was not careful, he would become the biggest casualty.
Seeing the unforgiving attitude of the Princess Consort of the Prince of Zhi, the court ladies all understood what was going on. (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.)
