For several days in a row, Qingyan was harassed by Jueluo Shi, who hoped to get her hands on the clothes as soon as possible, since it would take a long time for her to enter the palace.
"Sulan, kick her out!" Qingyan was really having a headache. Every time Jueluo came to the mansion, she would definitely ask for something.
Su Lan looked at Qing Yan with a troubled expression; this was clearly a matter between her and her daughter.
"Get out of the way!" The old woman outside was annoyed. She had served the Jue Luo clan for many years, and both Saito and Eshuo respected her.
Qingyan was the least favored of the three children of the Jue Luo family. Following her mistress's preferences, she was even more contemptuous of Qingyan. When she spoke too harshly, the nanny simply wouldn't listen to her.
"Who's making a fuss outside? Su Peisheng, go and see!" Yin returned from his study just as he heard the nanny making a scene outside.
At the entrance, the old woman saw Su Peisheng walking towards her in the distance, and her face immediately darkened. The servant that the madam had bribed clearly said that the fourth master was not at home today.
That's why she dared to come directly, causing such a commotion that the Fourth Prince's wife couldn't save face, and the Lady's jewelry would be taken away in advance.
"Little darling, what's going on outside?" Yin asked Little darling as he stepped into the room.
She asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go to court?"
They shouldn't be taking a day off today, but he suddenly appeared at home.
"Yes, we won't be going for the next few days. There are quite a few things to prepare for the Golden Banquet Festival. Father Emperor has instructed us to prepare some things in advance," Yinhan said vaguely.
Qingyan sighed helplessly. The Jueluo clan had sent servants over several times, clearly informing them that they couldn't give them the jewelry for the time being. On one hand, the craftsmen were short-handed, and the large number of orders had overwhelmed them. On the other hand, many officials' wives had come to visit, hoping to order more sets.
The Linglong Pavilion collection is limited. Before the Golden Offering Festival, each official's wife can only order one set of headdresses. The remaining headdresses will be delivered to each other in batches before the Golden Offering Festival.
"Fourth... Did the limited orders for Linglong Pavilion cause you any trouble?" Qingyan was worried that the ministers would sympathize with Yin and wanted him to come up with a solution.
In the imperial court, Yin could not afford to offend anyone; otherwise, he would find it impossible to move an inch.
"No!" He pulled Xiaoguai back onto the soft couch, stroking her head with his large hand. "Those people can't do anything to me!"
After Linglong Pavilion placed its limited order, several people did come to him. However, Kangxi summoned Li Dequan and publicly ordered another headpiece for Consort Tong.
This action deterred the ministers, even though they understood that it was Kangxi's excuse to support Yinzhi, and they could no longer make demands.
"Your Highness, the old woman has come to inquire when Lady Ulanara's jewelry was sent over." Su Peisheng tried his best to beautify the words of Lady Jue Luo.
Yin sneered. Could the people around the Jue Luo clan let Qingyan off so easily?
That sounds like a fairy tale!
Ugh!
Qingyan's lips twitched. When did her mother become so gentle?
"Su Peisheng, say it exactly as it was!" Yindu no longer believed that Jue Luo Shi was gentle.
From Qingyan's childhood, Jueluo's nature had never changed; he had seen it all and felt deeply sorry for him.
"Are you causing trouble again?" Qingyan asked Su Peisheng awkwardly.
As a servant, how could Su Peisheng speak ill of his master? Besides, Jue Luo was his mother, so Su Peisheng could only be respectful.
"Go and send the messenger away. Tomorrow, I will accompany the Fujin (principal wife) to the old residence to deliver the jewelry." Yin Dao wanted to see what Jue Luo Shi (principal wife of the princess) wanted.
Two days ago, the elder brother of the Jue Luo clan was dismissed from his official post by Emperor Kangxi. They only have an empty title, and the rest has vanished.
On the day of the investiture ceremony, the noble wives of the Gioro clan would attend the ceremony in their finest attire at the mansions of those with titles.
"These are probably jewelry pieces for the palace. Every time, Mother would take a few extra sets from me. This year, Father won't allow me to give Mother any more jewelry." Qingyan leaned against Yin, muttering to herself.
"Did the people my mother-in-law sent ask about the two children?" Yin pondered, "Shouldn't they ask my grandson?"
"No, every time Father comes over, he holds the two children tightly!" Qingyan had long given up the warmth of home, hoping only that Father and the children could be by her side.
Yin hugged her slender waist tightly, hoping to use his strength to drive away Xiao Guai's irritability.
"Don't worry too much. It's enough that the children have three grandparents who love them." Yin didn't care. These two children basically grew up under the care of Kangxi and Consort Tong, and Fei Yanggu and his two sons spoiled them without any limits.
******************************
The next morning, Qingyan got ready early and arranged breakfast for the twins. Yin ate breakfast at the table. The thought of going back to the old house made her feel extremely depressed, and she had no appetite at all.
"Little darling, have some. I had some wonton noodles specially made for you." Yin was worried about Little darling's health.
After Xiaoguai finished her postpartum confinement, she followed the prescribed three meals a day without ever missing a single one.
The title of Jue Luo is not enough to justify her skipping breakfast; she is not qualified.
“I don’t know her, that’s my mother…” Qingyan could understand Consort Tong’s inner turmoil. That was her mother, not someone else.
Although her mother didn't take care of her every day during her unmarried life, and mostly arranged for nannies to be by her side, she was still grateful to Lady Gioro.
"Never mind, I don't want to use it now. When we get back, I'll take you to Dashilan for roast duck!" Yin remembered that Qingyan really liked roast duck.
Sometimes, when she got angry, he would coax her with roast duck.
