In the afternoon, Qingyan dragged her tired body back to the ship, her mood becoming increasingly bad.
What the old man said irritated Qingyan. The things he bought in the small kitchen were all purchased from the alleyways, and he learned a lot about the excessive things the county magistrate had done.
She angrily gulped down several glasses of chilled plum juice, but she still couldn't suppress her anger.
"Fourth Brother, I never thought there was such a thing as bullying people!" Qingyan looked at Yin. If she hadn't met Yin back then, what would her life have been like?
Intimidated?!
The fact that even her business was controlled by the fairy spirit made her feel terrible.
She slammed the teacup down on the table, her face tense.
"Still angry?" Yin calmly looked at Xiao Guai's agitated state and quickly smoothed her down.
She stood up and paced back and forth, her little mouth chattering incessantly. She wanted to go out for a stroll in hopes of getting firsthand information, which was very important for running Linglong Pavilion.
Qingyan pouted, her face full of unhappiness, while Yin sat to the side waiting for the little girl to vent her anger.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhi has arrived with his wife and the princess!" Su Peisheng said softly, standing beside Yin.
Su Peisheng nodded. The little girl was in a bad mood, but her mood gradually calmed down after hearing Songkelier's laughter at the door.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why did you bring Yierha here on such a hot day?" Yin quickly ushered his family into the cabin. A wisp of cool air drifted over from the iceberg, where there were one or two lotus petals.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please have some chilled lotus seed soup!" Su Lan brought up five bowls of lotus seed soup, with Yi Erha's bowl being slightly smaller than the other four.
Yin nodded, gave Yin a look, and Yin ordered all the servants in the cabin to leave.
Qingyan wondered to herself, what terrible thing has happened now?
The cabin was extremely quiet. Yin took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him and told him what Kangxi had asked him to convey.
"What? You want the Crown Prince to come too?" Yin stared at him in astonishment. This...
That's so weird!
Emperor Kangxi rarely allowed the crown prince to accompany him. At least one of the emperor and the crown prince had to be stationed in the capital to prevent any unforeseen events from happening.
"Well, Xiao Guai, you should also prepare more. The Crown Prince is not bringing the Crown Princess, so Consort Li Jia will accompany him!" Yin looked down on Yin. Both Yingenjueluo and Qingyan were primary consorts, so why would the Crown Prince bring a secondary consort?
Qingyan frowned. The Crown Prince's concubine should be of higher status than them.
Her hand paused for a moment. The Guarjia clan and the Dong'e clan were in cahoots and often caused her trouble. Now, she couldn't be sure if this Li Jia clan was also like the Guarjia clan.
After seeing the Yin family off, she sat cross-legged in front of the soft couch, leaning against the window frame on the left side of the cabin, looking at the azure sky outside.
In a few days, there will be another sister-in-law! No!
This person is not among the primary consorts, and her feelings are extremely complicated.
Yin sat cross-legged opposite her. There were many folded documents on the kang table. She needed a quiet space to calm her mind.
"That person has to come?"
"Yes, the county town was almost completely cleared out by the county magistrate. Seeing the situation, Father Emperor took Mother and left."
When the ship stopped last time, Kangxi sent a message to have the Crown Prince escort the grain supplies over!
Looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, she wondered to herself how to deal with Li Jiashi.
Qingyan pouted, her little hands clutching a small handkerchief.
"Little darling!" Yin looked at the little guy's annoyed words, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
He put down the folded document in his hand, walked behind her, hugged her tightly, and swayed her gently to make her feel better.
"Apart from greetings, we don't need to pay any attention to her." Yin was very worried. When teaching etiquette, he stopped the nanny from teaching how to get along with the concubines.
In the new house, Fei Yanggu never allowed Qingyan to touch the darkness of the backyard.
"Hmph, you make it sound so easy!" Qingyan's relationship with her sisters-in-law was not good. Apart from the wife of the Prince of Zhi, the Crown Prince and Lady Dong'e were on her opposite side.
She lowered her head, starting to feel down.
In the following days, her mood did not improve; instead, she became increasingly depressed.
Early in the morning, just as she got out of bed, Su Peisheng came to tell her that the Crown Prince and his concubine had arrived at the imperial boat, and that Yin wanted her to go there.
She stood in front of the wardrobe with a pout, looking at the rows of bright red cheongsams. The resentment in her heart could never be vented. She pointed to the bright red cheongsam with blooming flowers, and wore a peony hairpin that Yin had given her before leaving the capital. She got up and went to the imperial tent.
As soon as she stepped onto the imperial ship, Consort Tong couldn't help but smile. Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan were dressed in bright red qipaos, which was somewhat jarring to Li Jia.
On the surface, Li Jia was the only concubine among the three sisters-in-law, but because she was the Crown Prince's secondary consort, this regret was made up for, and she was able to perform half-courtesy with the two princes' primary consorts.
The bright red clothes and jewelry were unusable; the two women were clearly trying to stab her.
snort!
Qingyan scoffed inwardly, but a smile appeared on her face. She seemed dignified and elegant, but Consort Tong knew that Qingyan disdained to have any conversation with Li Jia.
"Fourth Princess Consort, your headdress is extremely exquisite; it looks like it's made of the finest coral." Li Jia could easily sense Qingyan's exclusion.
She couldn't defeat the Yin Genjue Luo clan, so Qingyan became her target.
"This is deep-sea coral. It's nowhere near as good as the coral on the concubine's wrist. Mother, look at the color, it's almost a true red. Second sister-in-law meant well by giving this bracelet to the concubine!"
