Ten days later, the capital city fell completely silent. Emperor Kangxi secluded himself in Changchun Garden, showing no intention of returning to the palace. Some ministers had their homes confiscated and were imprisoned, while others even prepared to surrender to the princes' residences. (Please search on Baidu for the most complete information!)
The princes all closed the gates of their residences and villas, following the same actions as Emperor Kangxi.
Inside the Yuanmingyuan Garden, Yinzhen and Qingyan lived with their four children in a two-story Western-style building behind the Great Fountain. Batu Buhe leaned against the French windows, gazing intently at the twelve animal head fountains outside.
Qingyan remembered the significance of the twelve animal heads in modern times. Back then, the Yuanmingyuan ruins even restored 3D reconstructions of these heads. When their original appearance was truly displayed before her eyes, she was deeply shocked.
No wonder the robbers who broke into the Yuanmingyuan were dazzled. The Yuanmingyuan, which was temporarily without the 41 scenic spots of its heyday, made her linger.
"Mother, this place is really amazing. I'm looking at the fountain outside, and it's spraying water every hour." The twins and Batu Buhe were both lying there watching.
Yinzhen sat in the grand master's chair in the hall. The building looked like a sunset from the outside, but once inside, Qingyan burst out laughing. It was completely in the style of traditional Chinese architecture.
"You like it here?" Yinzhen noticed that Qingyan's expression changed completely as soon as he entered, especially when he saw the fountain with the twelve animal heads; his eyes were filled with shock.
The fountain of the Great Waterworks was originally built within the Changchun Garden, but Emperor Kangxi disliked such Western architecture and rejected it outright. Yinzhen obtained the blueprints from Emperor Kangxi and thought that Qingyan would like them, so he specially ordered them to be built here.
He had just finished the project after the Spring Festival this year, and he originally planned to bring Qingyan and the children here to escape the summer heat.
“Of course, this place is really great. There’s a fountain in front, and it’s not far from the ‘maze’ area. The children love it there. And the study is in front, so the children can sleep a little longer.” Qingyan nodded directly.
All three children were to study in the study. Even after Batu Buhe arrived at the garden, the tutor sent by Emperor Kangxi began to teach him.
Inside the hall, the three children were all looking at the fountain outside, something that neither you nor the mansion had.
“Father, why can’t we build a fountain in the mansion?” Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen turned to look at Yinzhen.
"Does it match our mansion?" Qingyan asked, stroking her daughter's head.
“Mother, I love it! It’s like a clock; it tells the time right on the hour,” Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen said.
Qingyan nodded. Her daughter's happy smile gave her an urge to give her everything.
Under Yinzhen's gaze, Qingyan had to admit that if she made proper arrangements for her daughter, it might cause Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen to suffer even greater harm later.
According to regulations, such a building should not exist in the residence of Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen unless it was personally approved by Emperor Kangxi.
"Fine, I'll just stay here and see it. Will I be able to live here by myself in the future?" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen asked, tilting his head.
Yinzhen resolutely refused: "This place is not only far from the Nine Provinces Banquet, but do you really want to be here, far away from Father and Mother?"
Qingyan took a sip of tea, listening to the father and daughter haggling beside her. The two had similar temperaments and would always argue whenever they encountered a problem.
“Father, I really want to live here. It’s so close to the study and Changchun Garden. I can sleep in a little later when I go to court!” Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen said, counting on his fingers.
Qingyan chuckled. Yinzhen really didn't care much for his own daughter.
"Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, Yiken'e. What are your thoughts?" Yinzhen hoped that Yiken'e could take care of her younger sister.
“My sister wants to live here, and I will take care of her!” Yiken’e took on the responsibility of an older brother early on. No matter how much trouble Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen caused, Yiken’e was always the first to protect him.
Yinzhen saw it all and was satisfied.
"Alright, we'll stay here until spring," Yinzhen said, no longer teasing the children, and made the promise directly.
Very good!
The three children cheered, but just as their cheers subsided, a child's cry came from the second floor. The three of them simultaneously covering their mouths completely woke up Hafon the Devil.
The three children looked at each other, none of them wanting to comfort Hafeng.
"Remember next time, Hafeng, when you're sleeping, no one should make too much noise!" Qingyan shrugged helplessly.
Behind her building, she was still grumbling to herself. The awkwardness here was still unbearable. Luckily, the child lived some distance away from them; otherwise, some of Si Si's actions that night would have made her completely humiliated.
Pushing open the door to the nursery, Qingyan saw that Hafeng had woken up and, after crying, looked towards the doorway with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Hafeng, let's go downstairs and see how your brothers and sisters are doing?" Qingyan picked up Hafeng. The nannies had just fed him milk and changed his clothes and diapers.
When it came to taking care of the child, Qingyan felt that having someone to help take care of him made things much easier; the nannies here were all very responsible.
"Master, it's time to feed you fruit puree!" The head nanny walked to Qingyan's side and reminded her.
Qingyan walked down the stairs on the left from the second floor to the first floor. Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng to bring over the fruit puree and also brought over Hafeng's baby chair.
She placed Hafeng in the high chair, and Yinzhen began to feed Hafeng spoonful by spoonful with a wooden spoon.
In front of Yiken'e was afternoon tea. He looked at his younger brother with a hint of envy, for his father was actually feeding him.
“When you were little, your father fed you a lot!” Qingyan saw the envy in Yiken’s eyes and could only say.
Yiken scratched his head sheepishly: "Mother, why did you expose me so directly?"
Batubuhe looked at Hafeng with envy; Abu had never fed him.
“Batubuhe, your Abu must have fed you, it must be something you don’t remember back then!” Yiken’e said directly.
Batubuhe's eyes reddened: "Yes, I don't think I remember. Mother, Abu loved me the most. He often kept me by his side and even fed me when he came to eat!"
