Chapter 196 Meeting
The first thing Yuying did when she returned to Yongshou Palace was, naturally, to reward the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace. From the senior palace maids who served her to the eunuchs who guarded the gate, each of them was rewarded with one year's salary. In particular, Qingtao, Qingdai and Luchen were also given a pair of jade bracelets and a set of head ornaments.
Everyone in the Yongshou Palace had unstoppable joy on their faces. They usually walked outside with a breeze on their faces, which aroused the envy of countless palace maids and eunuchs.
Yuying did not forget her purpose. She turned around and told Qingtao to invite the Eighth Prince over.
Yinsi is here.
It was rare that the two followers who always followed him were not there? Yuying looked outside the door in confusion, wondering if the other two were hiding outside?
"Aunt." Yinsi's tone was not as excited as usual, but rather full of frustration, "You don't have to look, my ninth and tenth brothers are not here."
Being discovered by Yinsi, Yuying withdrew her gaze somewhat embarrassedly and smiled at Yinsi.
but……
What's going on?
Why is this usually happy puppy so unhappy?
It's the first time in history.
Yinsi hasn't shown such depressed mood since he was able to speak normally. Why does he seem to be depressed again today?
Yuying took Yinsi's hand and led him to sit on a chair.
She squatted in front of Yinsi, touched his smooth forehead, and asked gently: "What happened to Xiaoba? Did you have a quarrel with Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi? If you have any grievances, tell your aunt and I will take care of it for you."
Yinsi shook his head and said, "Aunt, I didn't quarrel with my ninth and tenth brothers. It was me who didn't let them follow me."
"Then what happened?" Yuying's voice rose octaves, a little anxious.
Yinsi's eyes turned red as he looked at Yuying, who seemed to be ready to make the decision for him the next moment as soon as he told her the answer.
"Hey, Xiaoba, just say something, don't cry, don't cry." Yuying hurriedly wiped his tears.
"Little Ba, be good, let's talk about what we have to say. Don't learn from your fourth brother's taciturn personality."
Seeing Yuying's encouraging eyes, Yinsi finally spoke: "Aunt, I...I met uh..." Seemingly reluctant to say this title, Yinsi changed his words: "...Wei Shufei."
This story begins on the day when Yuying was welcomed into the palace by Kangxi.
"My dear brother, let's go to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by Khan Ama?" Yinsi and the other two were walking on the way to the Imperial Garden together, and Yinlu asked.
"Let's pick fewer, only the most beautiful ones, so Khan Ama won't know." Yin was very excited about this. "My eighth brother picked flowers to give to Empress Jin, and I will pick a few for my mother. Ninth brother, do you want to send some flowers to Concubine Yi as well?"
…
At this time, in the Yanxi Palace.
"Your Majesty, the person living in the side room... has gone out." Chunxiang dismissed everyone else and whispered to Concubine Hui.
"Really? Did you see which direction she went?" Concubine Hui asked casually.
"I heard from the maid who served her that she went in the direction of the prince's residence."
"Since she wants to reunite with her son, I am kindhearted and will lend her a helping hand. Go and find out where the ungrateful Eighth Prince is now. Once you find out, lead her there."
Concubine Hui showed a malicious smile. She knew that Sister Wei Shuang could not shake Yuying in any way, but she was happy that she could make things difficult for Yuying.
As if accidentally, Concubine Hui exerted a little force with her hands, and the cake in her hand turned into crumbs.
Concubine Hui wiped her hands and said, "I am tired and will go to rest. Chunxiang, you clean up here."
Yinsi and his two companions arrived at the Imperial Garden.
The three of them acted separately, but they were all close to each other. They each asked the eunuch to follow them so that they could pick the flowers they liked personally.
"Are the three princes picking flowers?" The sudden voice attracted the attention of the three.
When Yinsi saw the person coming, a look of surprise first flashed across his face, followed by displeasure.
Yinzhen and Yinsi did not notice Yinsi's expression. Both of them looked unhappy at being disturbed.
"Which palace are you from? Why are you so unruly?" Yin spoke first.
When Sister Wei Shuang heard that she was mistaken for a palace maid, anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
"I am not a palace maid. I am the concubine of the Yanxi Palace. I don't leave the palace often. I guess that's why the three princes don't know me."
Sister Wei Shuang smiled what she thought was a gentle smile and began to explain.
Then she asked in a familiar voice, "I just passed by the Imperial Garden and saw the three princes looking very distressed. Is there anything I can do to help?"
His suspicions were confirmed, and Yinsi's face darkened. He said coldly, "No need. Just go back where you came from. We don't need you to pretend here."
Before Yin'er and Yin could even say that they wanted her to help them choose some flowers, they were interrupted by Yinsi.
The two of them looked at each other in confusion. What happened to the starling?
Yin was really confused, but Yinlu had some guesses about the identity of the person in front of him.
Sure enough, the person who just claimed to be "Wei Shufei" had tears in her eyes and said hesitantly: "Yinsi, mother just wants to help you..."
"Enough! Shut up!" Yinsi interrupted her.
The atmosphere became tense.
Yin was so frightened that he tried hard to signal Yinzhen with his eyes to say something.
When Yin'er received Yin's gaze, his guess was confirmed, but the look in Yinsi's eyes when he looked at Wei Shuangjie was not kind at all. His peach blossom eyes, similar to those of Concubine Yi, were full of coldness.
"My eighth brother, how about letting your younger brother have a chat with this concubine Wei?" Yinzhen was clearly asking Yinsi, but his eyes never left Sister Wei Shuang.
They were born into the royal family. Even if they behaved harmlessly on a daily basis, it didn't mean that they could be bullied.
She was Bage's biological mother, so Bage couldn't say anything. But he didn't have such scruples, and countless ways to convict Sister Wei Shuang had flashed through his mind.
But all of this was rejected by Yinsi.
"Ninth and tenth brothers, you guys pick the flowers first, I'll be back soon."
Yinsi strode away, and when he passed by Wei Shuangjie, he said coldly: "Come with me."
Sister Wei Shuang hurriedly followed Yinsi's steps, "Yinsi, wait for mother..."
When they reached a secluded place, Yinsi stopped, turned around and looked at her coldly, "You are not staying in the Yanxi Palace, how did you get out?"
Sister Wei Shuang was somewhat at a loss, and said awkwardly: "Yinsi, Mother sneaked out secretly, Mother just wanted to see if you were doing well. Mother missed you very much, why don't you go to the Yanxi Palace to see Mother?"
Yinsi was not moved by Sister Wei Shuang's words, "You don't have to show this in front of me, what do you want to say?"
"Yinsi, how could you think like that? Mother really just wanted to see you..."
"Okay, now that I see you, you can leave." Yinsi said and was about to leave.
"Wait..." Sister Wei Shuang was anxious. She didn't expect Yinsi to not give her any chance at all, so she had to tell her purpose: "Can you help my mother? My mother can't eat or sleep well in the Yanxi Palace, and Concubine Hui is always nagging her. Can you tell the emperor about my mother and ask her to move out of the Yanxi Palace?"
There was a flash of hope in Sister Wei Shuang's eyes.
"Where do you want to move to? Yongshou Palace?" Yinsi said with a cold face.
"Actually, any place is fine, but Yongshou Palace would be best. After all, you are in Yongshou Palace, and mother also wants to see more of you." Sister Wei Shuang pretended to be casual, but secretly glanced at Yinsi's expression.
Yinsi saw that she had not made any progress after so many years, and although he had no hope for her, but...
"You're dreaming. Not to mention that the Khan Ama has already said that Yongshou Palace is only for my aunt to live in. What's more, why do you think the Khan Ama will listen to me?"
"You are his son..." Sister Wei Shuang said as a matter of course.
Yinsi remained silent.
He looked at her, and she was still the same as when he was a child, thinking that she could get everything with him.
He suddenly turned and left.
"Wait..." Sister Wei Shuang said hurriedly, "Yinsi, don't go. You haven't said whether you will help me or not. You have to help me! The Fourth Prince helped Depin. I gave birth to you with great difficulty. You can't be an ungrateful person..."
"Concubine Wei, please stay."
Sister Wei Shuang was stopped by Yinsi's eunuch and could only watch Yinsi walk away.
The memories end here.
Yinsi looked at Yuying, his eyes flashing with helplessness, "Aunt, what should I do? I don't care, but I still feel sad."
Yuying looked at Yinsi, and it was as if she saw Yinzhen at that time, and she felt annoyed with Kangxi.
But for now, she still had to comfort Yinsi first, "Don't worry, Xiaoba, leave him to your aunt, okay? Our Xiaoba must be happy."
The follow-up to this incident was that Yuying issued the first imperial decree after becoming the Imperial Noble Consort, which reprimanded Huifei for not being strict with her subordinates and fined her one year's salary. Wei Shuangjie was given the title of Liang Guiren, but she did not move out of the Yanxi Palace as she wished, so she and Huifei continued to entangle.
After all, she didn't believe that Sister Wei Shuang could sneak out of the Yanx Palace under the heavy control of Concubine Hui.
As for Kangxi, who was implicated, he was unable to step into the Yongshou Palace for a whole month.
