Inside the villa, Yin's courtyard became lively. The princes came over every few days, and Qingyan became the busiest of the female relatives, busy with preparing food for the princes along with Ninth Prince's wife and Tenth Prince's wife.
The two wives were around the same age as Qingyan, so the three of them had more to talk about. In addition, the Ninth and Tenth wives didn't treat Qingyan as their sister-in-law at all; they felt that they were all equals.
For them, the Crown Princess was too distant and too rigid. She treated all her sisters-in-law equally, which made the Ninth and Tenth Princesses feel that it was somewhat fake.
The tenth princess had just married into the royal family and had been living on the grasslands. The people she was around were all straightforward, and very few were like the crown princess, who spoke so fluently.
The Eighth Prince's wife appears to be very generous, but in reality, she is somewhat arrogant. If it weren't for the good relationship between the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eighth Prince, they would never have gotten involved together.
Now that they've met Qingyan, they feel an instant connection.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, my master has gained weight recently. Before, he always thought he was suffering from summer heat and couldn't eat well. Now, not only is he not suffering, but even the imperial physicians are doing very well!" Tenth Princess said to Qingyan.
Qingyan smiled slightly: "The situation of the gentlemen is similar. Now that there are more people, there is more food, so their appetites have increased. Tenth Master is still growing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ninth Prince's wife burst out laughing. Ninth Prince always ate like Tenth Prince, and one of them would eventually grow into a pig.
“What Ninth Prince said was a bit inappropriate, and I’m sorry for that. However, sister-in-law, you should also pay extra attention to Tenth Prince’s physique. The princes should be careful too!” Ninth Princess Consort directly advised.
The Tenth Prince's wife was stunned. She had heard others mention what the Ninth Prince's wife had said, and even Consort Yi had hinted at it.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, I understand too. My husband is not as outstanding as his brothers in other aspects, but he is especially outstanding when it comes to food!" The Tenth Princess spread her hands, looking quite helpless.
Ha ha!
The three women laughed; Yin's words were quite truthful.
In a pavilion not far away, Yin was fishing with his younger brothers. Various kinds of food were placed around Yin. He was eating while fishing, and he looked disgusted.
"Why are you eating again? Dinner is coming up soon. Can you even finish this?" Yin was exasperated. Yin's appetite was increasing year by year. Sometimes, Yin would dine at his residence, and the excellent cooks were mostly hired by Yin.
"You can eat it. The chefs at Fourth Brother's residence have benefited greatly. All these things are made delicious by your residence!" Yin was not exaggerating at all, and directly dealt a blow to Yin.
"You brat!" Yin exploded again. "If you don't like it so much, why do you insist on coming to my residence to freeload?"
"My wife mostly prepares Mongolian dishes. It's fine to eat those things once or twice, but I can't stand eating them all the time!" Yin quickly shook his head. His wife basically prepared all the food he ate.
Yin was a carnivore, but he couldn't resist eating like that all the time.
"From now on, if you want to improve your meals, come to Fourth Brother's residence!" Yin said quickly, seeing Yin's pitiful appearance.
As soon as he finished speaking, both Yin and Yin were shocked. Yin had actually invited Yin to dinner.
"Fourth Brother... can I come along?" Yin also felt that the food at the mansion was not as good as what Qingyan's chefs prepared.
"Alright, you two, bring Thirteen and Fourteen out with you. Tenth Brother, once you leave the palace and establish your own residence, Fourth Brother will give you a cook!" Yin looked at Yin's joyful expression after hearing this and a faint smile appeared on his face.
In Qingyan Zong, the bond between brothers is entirely cultivated. If you cultivate it with sincerity, these younger brothers will soon be drawn to Yin.
In the past, Yin always had a stern face, and no one dared to approach him. Now, Yin has slowly warmed up, and Yin and others have discovered that Yin is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"Alright, Fourth Brother, you're much more generous than Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother's cooks are all treasures, he doesn't give me any!" Yin complained directly.
On the women's side, they heard Su Zhu report the situation here and looked at the Tenth Prince's wife.
"I like Mongolian food, and Yin follows my lead, so I've never changed it. If I had known he would complain so much, I wouldn't have bothered with it." The Tenth Prince's wife spread her hands, feeling helpless. Who knew this guy had so many ideas?
Qingyan chuckled. Yin didn't want the Tenth Prince's wife to have trouble getting used to the food. It was already difficult enough for a girl to leave her hometown; it would be too inhumane to force her to change her diet.
"Tenth sister-in-law, this is my tenth brother's thoughtfulness towards you. Don't let Yin's rough and careless appearance fool you; he's never been ambiguous about this." Upon hearing the tenth princess's words, the ninth princess understood that Yin disliked Ming and would probably show it through his actions.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, is yours true?" the Tenth Prince's wife asked. "I also think that Prince Yin is not considerate enough and always goes out to eat."
“The tenth prince’s tastes are somewhat different from yours. The two of you really need to work things out. You two will be living together for so many years. Can the tenth prince keep running away?” Ninth Princess advised.
Qingyan wouldn't interrupt; these were matters for the wives to discuss, not for her.
The Tenth Prince's wife fell silent. She couldn't say certain things in front of Qingyan. As the primary wife, who wouldn't want no other women in the mansion? However, Qingyan was a good person and must think the same way.
"Alright, you two wives can discuss this here. I'll go prepare some things, otherwise we'll have to open the windows again today!" Qingyan made an excuse and quickly left. Qingyan's actions surprised both the Ninth and Tenth Wives.
