Chapter 125 Confrontation
The more gentle Concubine De smiled, the more the people in front of Yuying were on high alert. It seemed that the person in front of them was not Concubine De, who always had an excellent reputation, but some kind of ferocious beast.
However, it was not their fault. After all, in the palace, although it was forbidden to talk about it openly, everyone knew the relationship between Concubine De and the Fourth Prince. Now Yuying was just like snatching the Fourth Prince from Concubine De. Qingtao and the others were really afraid that Concubine De would rush up and fight with Yuying.
Yuying signaled to everyone to move aside first. Defei could not do anything to her in public.
Yuying stood face to face with Concubine De, with a fake smile on her face, "I wonder why you came to visit me so early in the morning?"
"I heard that my sister was coming to pick up the two princes today. I was afraid that my sister would be too busy, so I came here to help."
Yuying's smile became even more fake. If she hadn't seen Defei waiting here on purpose, Yuying might have actually believed that she came to help out of kindness.
But Concubine De was obviously not.
"No need. I appreciate your kindness, sister Defei. But you can see that the people in Yongshou Palace behind me are not kept as decorations. They can handle these trivial matters. Why bother you, sister?"
Although Yuying spoke softly, her tone was uncompromising. She didn't believe that Concubine De was so kind-hearted. She was clearly targeting the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.
She would never let Concubine De and Yinzhen come into contact today. Even if Concubine De was Yinzhen's biological mother, Yinzhen had the right to know everything. But this truth should not be revealed today.
What's more, she had promised Tong Jia, so she had to do it.
Defei looked at Yuying, and the smile on her lips disappeared.
Yuying also had a stern face, with the corners of her eyes raised. Yuying's current expression was exactly what Tong Jia had taught her.
As both of them lost their smiles, the atmosphere became tense.
Qingtao and others wanted to protect Yuying behind them, but Yuying did not take a step back.
After a moment, Concubine De smiled again, "In that case, I will not bother you today. I will go to Yongshou Palace another day to ask you for a cup of tea. I hope you will not refuse."
Yuying understood that Concubine De had given up when she heard this, "Of course."
The atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared, as if it was an illusion.
Yuying finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Concubine De walk away. But this incident was a big thunderbolt after all. Yuying planned to take the two children back and then ask Kangxi what to do.
Yuying retracted her gaze and said, "Leave two of you to guard the door. If Concubine De comes back, send someone in to report. The rest of you, follow me in."
"Yes, madam."
Yinzhen and Yinsi had packed their things and sat together. They had different expressions on their faces, Yinzhen looked unhappy, while Yinsi looked very expectant.
Yuying finally led the group into Chengqian Palace.
In just a few months, the once magnificent Chengqian Palace became deserted. The originally magnificent palace also became dull and gloomy because its owner was gone.
Zishang was standing in the yard, waiting for Yuying.
Of course, she heard the noise outside the palace gate just now. After hearing that Yuying drove Defei away, she finally felt relieved.
Tong Jia and Yuying did not avoid Zishang during their conversation, so Zishang was well prepared for Yinzhen's departure from Chengqian Palace.
She was waiting here to remind Yuying once again not to forget what the Queen had told her.
"This servant pays respects to Concubine Jin."
"Miss Zishang."
"The two princes have packed up, please follow me, Madam."
"aunt."
"Empress Jin."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Yuying waved at them, "Xiao Si, and Xiao Ba."
After getting a response, Yinsi walked over to Yuying and asked, "Aunt, are we leaving?"
"Yes." Yuying looked at Yinsi, "Xiaoba, do you want to say goodbye to Aunt Zishang?"
Yinsi glanced at Zishang, seemingly thinking.
Soon, he got the answer. He looked at Yuying and said, "Can auntie wait for Xiaoba for a while?"
Yuying nodded, then looked at Yinzhen who was silent at the side, "Xiao Si, let's say goodbye together."
Then Yuying asked the people in Yongshou Palace to move the things out first.
After all the things were moved, Yuying walked in at the end and considerately closed the door for them.
Yuying signaled Lu Chen to take everyone back to clean up their residence first, as she would stay in Chengqian Palace and wait for the two children.
After a while, Yinsi came out.
"Aunt, Fourth Brother will take a while. Let's wait together."
"good."
Yuying followed Yinsi around Chengqian Palace, and Yinsi would point to places from time to time and tell Yuying what interesting things had happened there.
In the palace, Zishang was telling Yinzhen: "Fourth Prince, when you go to Yongshou Palace, just stay there peacefully. Don't come back to Chengqian Palace in the future, and don't mention the Empress Jin often in front of the Empress."
Zichang was afraid of making Yuying unhappy.
"I understand." Yinzhen said in a sullen tone, "Don't be sad, aunt. I will take you out after I leave the palace and build my own house."
"It is enough for me to have the Fourth Prince's words." Zishang looked at Yinzhen with a look of relief on her face, "But I don't want to go anywhere. I still have to stay with the queen."
Zichang wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Fourth Prince, please go out quickly. Don't let Concubine Jin and Eighth Prince wait anxiously."
Yuying finally met Yinzhen and Yinsi and returned to Yongshou Palace.
It was the first time for both of them.
Yinsi followed Yuying closely, listening attentively as Yuying introduced his room to him.
And Yinzhen was a little further away.
Yuying looked back and said, "Xiao Si, do you think you are not satisfied with anything? If so, we can change it. Although you are all living in West Building 5 now, there should be a place for you in Yongshou Palace. If you want to live here, you can live here."
"Thank you, Lady Jin. I think everything is fine."
"That's good." Yuying nodded, "From now on, you can follow Xiaoba and call me aunt."
"Yes, thank you... Aunt." Yinzhen hesitated. It felt weird to hear this unfamiliar name coming out of his mouth.
Yuying, on the other hand, happily agreed.
When Yinsi heard Yuying mention him, he said excitedly: "Then I will come and stay here every day!"
"Okay! Xiaoba can live here if you want."
A little later, Kangxi arrived.
Kangxi accompanied Yuying and the other two for dinner, and during the meal, Kangxi did not forget to show concern for his two sons.
After the meal, Yinzhen proposed to return to the West Five Houses. Yinsi was not happy about it and insisted on taking Yinzhen to sleep in the Yongshou Palace.
Yinzhen naturally couldn't persuade Yinsi, so he had to agree.
Yuying doesn't interfere in the affairs between the two of them. She just hopes that the relationship between Siba can be more harmonious.
Kangxi and Yuying were finally able to talk behind closed doors.
Kangxi seemed to feel guilty because the mourning period for Queen Tonggia had not yet ended and no wedding could be held in the palace, so Yuying's enthronement ceremony was delayed.
"I will definitely hold a grand ceremony for Ah Ying to be crowned as the next king."
Yuying didn't care about these empty things, after all, she was still tired, and she had already obtained the vested interests. Yuying then mentioned that she met Defei at the gate of Chengqian Palace today, and wanted Kangxi's advice on how she should treat Defei from now on.
Kangxi just told Yuying not to worry and he would solve the problem.
On the second day, Kangxi went to Yonghe Palace. I don’t know what he said to Concubine De, but Concubine De finally calmed down.
So Yinzhen and Yinsi settled down in Yongshou Palace.
