The morning sun shines on the earth, and the servants in the villa begin their duties. In the garden, Su Lan is leading the young palace maids to prepare lotus leaves. Today, Qing Yan is preparing to make lotus leaf porridge and lotus leaf chicken.
The twins loved lotus leaf chicken the most; they remembered it vividly after just one serving.
"Little darling, get up quickly. Didn't we agree to take the children to Slender West Lake?" Yin patted Qingyan's back, preparing to wake her up.
Hmm.......
Qingyan pulled the blanket over his head and hid completely under it. Yin looked at the little ball of blankets and chuckled.
"Little darling, the twins are almost up. What will they think if they see their mother still in bed?" Yin kept bothering her. Every time she had a day off, it would be difficult to wake Shuyun up.
"No!" Qingyan refused firmly, disturbing her sleep every time.
He reached out and pulled the blanket off. She covered her face with the pillow, closed her eyes, and gave a vague refusal.
"Get up quickly." Yin threw away the pillow, rolled over, and pressed down on her.
He reached out and lit a flame on her body. His touch disturbed her sleep, and she quickly opened her watery eyes. She looked at him with a wronged expression; he never let her sleep until she naturally woke up during her days off.
"Who said the children were getting up? They're still asleep at this hour." Qingyan was annoyed. Why was Yin disturbing their peaceful sleep? It was such a headache.
Yin pinched her little nose and said, "You should get up first too. We're not in the capital after all. There are many eyes watching us here." Yin said softly.
Qingyan wanted to complain in her heart that every time they went on an inspection tour, the sisters-in-law would compete with each other, making such a commotion that no one could have a peaceful time.
"Hmph, those people are just asking for trouble. Everyone needs a break." Qingyan doesn't have to manage the backyard, and there are no concubines waiting to pay their respects to her.
Other women were different. Even the women of the officials in Jiangnan envied Qingyan. They kept trying to send women into the Fourth Prince's harem, hoping to make Qingyan less happy.
Jealousy among women is often the most terrifying, and Dong Eshi was one of them.
"Is there any royal sister-in-law who is easy to deal with? Dong E's claws are reaching too far." Yin sneered.
During the thorough investigation of the villa, Yin discovered several informants, with the Crown Princess and Dong E being the first among them. After all, the Crown Princess was trained to meet certain standards, so it was to be expected that she would have some methods.
What about Dong Eshi?
Yin Dao didn't understand. Dong Eshi was learning from the Crown Princess in everything, and Yin Zhi also had ambitions for that position.
Yinzhi once had an excellent relationship with the Crown Prince, which is why he was able to become Prince Cheng in this life. It seems that his life has undergone a great change.
The relationship between the Crown Prince and Yinzhi was very cold, but the relationship between the Crown Princess and the Third Prince's wife was very harmonious, unlike the other sisters-in-law.
"Her people are involved?" Qingyan was very troubled by Dong'e. Every time she warned Dong'e, the latter would become more secretive, but also more blatant in her actions.
Yin nodded. Originally, the backyard should have been managed by Qingyan herself. It would have been better for Qingyan to handle the spies of the sisters-in-law herself. Yin did not want Xiaoguai to encounter these things.
"I understand!" Qingyan prepared to make his move. "In a moment, I'll have Sulan return the people we found to the Third Princess Consort. I want to see what she has to say."
Qingyan had no good feelings towards Dong'e, and after her repeated attacks, she couldn't even be bothered with pretense anymore.
“Yes,” Yin agreed.
Qingyan rolled over and pinned Yin beneath her, lying on his chest. She then activated the screen within the space, which directly displayed Dong Eshi's courtyard.
Since the southern tour, officials from the south have been sending female relatives to him, and Yinzhi has not set foot in Dong Eshi's courtyard for a long time.
Early in the morning, Lady Dong'e got ready and sat upright in the main seat, waiting for the thieves to pay their respects.
Qingyan closed her eyes and watched the "battle" of greetings at the Third Master's residence. The women mocked and ridiculed Dong Eshi, and even the newly arrived concubines used their weak demeanor to confront Dong Eshi.
"Fourth Brother, what's the advantage of having more female relatives? When paying respects, you have to keep bickering with each other." Qingyan tilted her head and looked at him.
He didn't speak, but touched Qingyan's hair.
When Consort Tong received the palace concubines, those who did not know the rules constantly made sarcastic remarks, which hurt Consort Tong. From then on, Yin did not want to repeat his previous life, and it was more important for him to have a warm home.
“There’s no need,” Yin said.
She nestled herself into his arms, still hearing Dong Eshi's angry words. Qingyan wanted to advise Dong Eshi, "Why should women make things difficult for other women? A smart woman only deals with men."
"Fourth Prince, let's get up." Qingyan remembered that the villa was two streets away from Yinzhi's residence. If Dong'e suddenly decided to show up at the villa, she would be caught off guard. "How many days of leave do you have?"
"On the tenth day, we can go out for a trip. Father and Mother are planning to visit nearby places." This southern tour of Kangxi broke with convention, and he did not summon officials from the south, treating it as a vacation.
real? !
Her eyes lit up; in ten days, they could live comfortably in the villa.
“Last night, I specifically sent a message to my father-in-law and brothers-in-law that we will go directly to the other residence this evening,” Yin said, leaning close to her ear.
Qingyan immediately got up and got out of bed. Sulan heard the commotion in the inner chamber and came in from outside to help Qingyan get up.
Yin propped his cheek up and watched Qingyan sit upright in front of the bronze mirror, with Sulan serving her as she washed and dressed.
"When you go out today, just wear your hair in a simple bun, and keep the head ornaments simple." After Qingyan finished giving the instructions, she saw Yin's lazy posture in the bronze mirror and wanted to complain. "Fourth Prince, stop looking and get up quickly."
Yin's deep laughter came from behind her, and Qingyan blushed instantly.
"Alright!" Yin sat up abruptly. "Su Peisheng, come in."
Seeing that he had teased Qingyan enough, Yin quickly got up.
After washing up, Yin and Qingyan walked hand in hand into the twins' room. The two little ones had just been woken up and their faces were still sleepy. When they saw Qingyan appear, the two of them quickly showed big smiles.
"Mother...hug me." Yiken rubbed her eyes, clearly still half asleep, and reached out her little hand to Qingyan.
Qingyan picked up Yiken'e, and Yin coughed twice behind her. Yiken'e shrank back. Qingyan smiled and comforted her son, then rolled her eyes at Yin.
"My dear mother, thank you for your love!" Yin said five words directly, and picked up Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen from the carriage. The little girl softly nestled on his shoulder.
