On the second day of the Lunar New Year, just as dawn was breaking, several carriages emerged from the Yuanmingyuan Garden. Yin carried the sleeping Qingyan into the front carriage, while the three children were carried into the back carriage.
Since they did not spend the New Year at the mansion this year, it would take longer to return to the new residence in Ulanara. Yin set off with his wife and children at dawn.
I plan to go there early before dawn so that Qingyan can have more time to spend with her family.
As dawn broke, Yin quickly patted the little one beside him. She shifted slightly, seemingly wanting to continue sleeping.
“In another hour and a half, we’ll arrive at the new house. Do you want to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law like this?” Yin said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan quickly opened her eyes and found herself in a carriage.
Looking around, he noticed that the children weren't with them in a carriage, so he quickly got up and sat down.
"Sisi, where are the children?" Qingyan asked curiously.
"All four of you were fast asleep in the carriage behind, and I didn't wake you up." Yin knew that Qingyan and the children were very tired after attending the banquet in the palace the day before, and today they were preparing to go to Feiyanggu's new residence early in the morning.
"Sisi, you're the most considerate!" Qingyan smiled.
"Alright, stop making a fuss here. I'll have Sulan help you wash up quickly, and then we'll have breakfast!" Yin had specially arranged for breakfast to be prepared and placed in the carriage behind, ready to be delivered to Qingyan and the children as soon as they woke up.
After Qingyan had Sulan wash up, Yinze had breakfast prepared and placed on the kang table, waiting for Qingyan to arrive.
"Today's meal was very plentiful, and we finished it early. By lunchtime, the family must have prepared a lot of delicious food!" After Qingyan had a child, she often invited Fei Yanggu and Jue Luo to the residence. Kangxi sat above, turning a blind eye to it, and rarely used this matter to criticize Yin.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a day when everyone goes back to their maternal home, Yin Geng heard Consort Tong say that this year, Emperor Kangxi would accompany her to Tong Guogang's residence.
“It’s customary for married women to return to their parents’ home. After lunch, we’ll go to the Yuelai Inn!” Yin said with a smile.
Qingyan was curious: why did they change locations this year when they went to Linglong Pavilion every year?
"Father has taken Mother to Tong Guogang's residence, so we should go and wait for Father first!" Yin said to Qingyan.
Qingyan smiled. Consort Tong had said before that she greatly envied them for being able to return home and reunite during the New Year. Therefore, a few years ago, Emperor Kangxi made the decision to take Consort Tong back with him.
Inside the new house, the Feiyanggu family was busy. Qingyan was back today, and Saito and Yiken did not accompany their wives to their parents' home; they were allowed to go back on their own.
"You two, why didn't you accompany Madam back?" Fei Yanggu said, looking at his two sons.
He had thought that only the four of them, adults and children, would be gathered at the mansion today, but Saito and Eshuo were there.
“Father, I also want to talk to my sister.” Saito sighed. Since childhood, Feiyangu and his two sons had always liked to compete for Qingyan’s attention, and it was even more so now.
"Alright, stop talking. Now that Xiao Guai is a mother, and you two are married, why are you still bickering like this? How childish!" Jue Luo Shi looked at the three of them and had a real headache.
“Mother, now that my sister is married, can’t we take care of her?” Saito said quickly, looking at Jue Luo’s expression. “Besides, we don’t care what others think. In any case, Qingyan absolutely cannot suffer. We will take care of Qingyan in a meaningful way.”
Jue Luo glared at the two brothers. Before Yinzhi married Qingyan, he had been harassed by them quite a bit. It was very strange that Kangxi did not say a word.
“Before, Tong Guogang led his sons to deal with His Majesty, and His Majesty endured it all!” Fei Yanggu remembered that Kangxi was often harassed during that period, and even asked Fei Yanggu how to please his brother-in-law.
The situation was different for the Jue Luo clan. Given Fei Yanggu's status as a close advisor to Emperor Kangxi, the direct descendants of the Jue Luo clan dared not make things difficult for him.
“I had completely forgotten about it!” Jue Luo’s mouth was filled with bitterness.
How did her family treat her before? Even before the wedding, whenever Fei Yanggu went to the mansion, they would meet the two of them. The two older brothers were eager to get more land and wanted to have something on the two of them that they could use against them.
"Mother, should we make some of the things that Fourth Prince likes to eat?" Saito knew that Feiyangu had instructed the kitchen to prepare Qingyan's favorite dishes, and had long forgotten about Yinfang.
“No need. Our own daughter is coming back. Do we need to find a son-in-law to entertain her?” Fei Yanggu was very firm. Yin was just an afterthought.
Jue Luo spread her hands helplessly: "I'll listen to your father!"
The two brothers exchanged a glance. Jue Luo said that her father was being domineering, but in reality, what she did was not kind.
"Father, Fourth Master is investigating things in the south, and Uncle may have been involved!" Saito was very concerned about the Jue Luo clan, this time worried that his mother would be heartbroken and have a headache again.
Jue Luo's face turned pale; his own brothers always managed to cause some trouble.
"We don't need to pay any attention to it!" Jue Luo Shi is planning to close her doors to visitors recently, and if she gets entangled with her family again, things will definitely become troublesome. "You three, father and sons, must be careful out there. We don't need to concern ourselves with Jue Luo Shi's actions!"
Jue Luo's words put Fei Yanggu at ease.
“We know what we’re doing, so don’t be soft-hearted. These are things we can’t do!” Fei Yanggu said to Jue Luo Shi.
"Yes, I know what I'm doing. Qingyan has finally managed to have a few days of peace. The Eighth Princess Consort is a legitimate daughter of the Jue Luo clan, so I'm somewhat distant from her!" Jue Luo sneered.
Fei Yanggu and his two sons exchanged glances and realized that Jue Luo Shi had recently grown tired of her maternal family.
Today, Jue Luo didn't mention sending anything to her family home at all. If a married woman did that, it would be considered as severing ties with her family.
"Mother, I heard that the Eighth Princess Consort went back by herself today!" Saito heard the news and quickly told Jueluo.
"Those people are probably waiting for me to come back. What does it have to do with them that our family is having a get-together?" Jue Luo sneered.
Those people, seeing the status of the father and his two sons, wanted to curry favor with them, but it depended on whether the Jue Luo clan would cooperate!
"Mother, I'm so glad you miss her!" Saito was relieved. With Qingyan back, he no longer worried that Jue Luo Shi would do anything to harm Qingyan for the sake of her maternal family.
