Chapter 76: Garden Tour
The turmoil in the palace did not affect the peaceful life in Changchun Garden at all. Yuying just thought it would be great if she could live in the garden forever.
Spring days are short, so in order to make the most of it, even when Concubine Yi invited Yuying to visit the garden, Yuying happily went.
When Yuying arrived, she found out that Concubine Yi had invited not only her, but also Noble Concubine Guo Luoluo and Concubine Xi.
When Concubine Xi saw Yuying appear from afar, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face, but in the end she did not turn around and leave. She just wished to stay away from Yuying.
Seeing how Concubine Xi treated Yuying as if she were a scourge, Concubine Yi thought that Yuying had done something to Concubine Xi, but according to her observation, Concubine Jin was not such a person.
So she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xipin, what are you doing?"
Yuying found Xipin's evasive attitude funny and deliberately said, "Ah, why don't you let me tell you about this..."
Before Yuying could say a few words, Concubine Xi hurried over and pulled Yuying aside.
"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of others, I will make you pay!" Concubine Xi said to Yuying with a grim face.
"Then Madam Xi, please treat me better in the future. It is not a good attitude to grab my sleeve like this."
Concubine Xi let go of Yuying as if she was being pricked by needles.
Yuying straightened her sleeves and said, "Okay, Concubine Xi, don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more curious people will be." Yuying gestured to Concubine Xi to look at Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo who were looking over here curiously.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't interfere with each other in the future, I promise I won't say anything nonsense."
Concubine Xi was skeptical.
"Well, we are here to visit the garden today, so let's hurry over, otherwise Concubine Yi and the others will be waiting anxiously."
Seeing that Concubine Xi turned her head away and ignored Yuying, Yuying could only pull her sleeve and remind her.
"Hmph...you'd better keep your word."
After making the harsh remarks, Concubine Xi took the lead and walked over.
Yuying had no choice but to follow.
Seeing that the two stopped whispering and Concubine Yi was not a very curious person, she said, "Since everyone is here, let's go."
The weather in April has completely returned to spring, with flowers blooming everywhere in Changchun Garden and birds singing and dancing.
If you are in the palace, you can visit the Imperial Garden; if you are in the garden, you can visit the garden. Isn't this just a way to pass the time?
Just as they turned a corner, they heard some sweet laughter coming from the front.
If Yuying was alone, she would definitely turn around and leave.
But Yuying is not the only one here. Concubine Yi and Concubine Xi are not the kind of people who avoid seeing people.
Then, the two of them walked forward with their necks erect, leaving Yuying and Guiren Guo Luoluo looking at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to follow them.
It must be said that there is some fate between these people who were promoted to concubines and consorts on the same day. Aren’t those sitting in the pavilion in front Consort Hui and Consort Rong with the Eighth Prince and the Second Princess?
Several people saluted each other.
"Sisters, please take a seat." Concubine Hui asked everyone to sit down, and the servants beside her brought them snacks and tea in due time.
"What a coincidence today." As soon as she sat down, Concubine Hui smiled and said, "I didn't know that the sisters were also out. If I had known earlier, I would have invited the sisters to go with me."
"I just happened to meet you, my sister. That's our fate." Concubine Yi greeted Concubine Hui.
Yuying didn't need to say anything, she just needed to be a vase quietly, which was exactly what Yuying wanted.
Yuying was admiring the scenery all around her. Qingtao came forward to wipe her hands. Yuying picked up a piece of dessert and was about to put it into her mouth when her thigh was hugged.
Yuying looked down and found that it was the eighth prince Yinsi.
Seeing Yuying noticed him, Yinsi grinned, "Aunt... Xiaoba wants to..."
All in all, Yuying only met Yinsi once. Unexpectedly, he still remembered her. Yuying asked in surprise: "Xiaoba, do you want some snacks too?"
Hearing Yuying's voice, several people turned their attention.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince was actually sticking to Yuying, Concubine Yi asked in surprise: "Why is the Eighth Prince so close to Concubine Jin?"
The smile on Concubine Hui's face froze, and she glared at the helpless nanny beside her, and said, "Noble Lady Jin is Xiao Ba's aunt, so the relationship between them is naturally extraordinary. Why don't you see the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Prince with you today?"
"Little Eleven has had a cough recently due to the change of seasons, so I didn't dare take him out. As for Little Nine?" Concubine Yi laughed, "Little Nine is used to being wild, so he went out with his wet nurse early in the morning."
Hearing Yuying think that he wanted to eat snacks, Yinsi quickly shook his head, "No...no snacks, I want aunt...aunt."
Yuying was a little at a loss for a moment. Ever since Kangxi asked her to adopt the Eighth Prince, she stayed away from the people in the Yanx Palace, for fear that Kangxi would bring up this ridiculous idea again.
But now the Eighth Prince was right in front of her, watching her refuse his consent and almost crying, Yuying couldn't bear it again.
It was Concubine Xi who spoke up to help her out: "I say, Concubine Jin, how can you be so cruel? Didn't you see that the Eighth Prince was about to cry, and you didn't comfort him?"
Then she stretched out her hand to Yinsi, "Come here, Xiaoba, let Concubine Xi hug you."
Yinsi ignored her and insisted on looking at Yuying.
Yuying still picked the person up.
When he sat in Yuying's arms, Yinsi immediately stopped crying, tightly grasped Yuying's hand, and smiled at her. Seeing that Yuying was holding him and it was inconvenient to take the snacks, he picked up a snack with both hands and stretched out his hands to feed Yuying.
Cute cub.
Never mind, what does his father’s madness have to do with a kid? Yuying lowered her head and took the snack from his hand.
She raised her head and saw Concubine Xi looking at her with envy.
Seeing this, Yuying said, "It seems like Concubine Xi also wants to eat some snacks. Can Xiaoba feed Concubine Xi a piece as well?"
Yinsi looked at Xipin, as if he was observing whether she wanted to eat. When Xipin saw him looking at her, although she was surprised that Yuying would speak for her, she quickly pretended to be extremely greedy.
Seeing that she really wanted to eat, Yinsi took another piece of dessert and handed it to Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi happily took it and reached out a hand to touch Yinsi's little face, "Xiaoba is so good."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Yinsi, the second princess who was sitting next to Concubine Rong also looked at Yinsi eagerly.
Noticing her daughter's longing eyes, Concubine Rong was sad and handed her a piece of dessert.
The second princess looked over and saw that it was Concubine Rong. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
She naturally understood her daughter, and her daughter certainly didn't come for a piece of dessert. She just envied the attention that the Eighth Prince received.
Unlike the mother and daughter, no one cares about them in the harem.
Concubine Rong looked at Yuying silently. She thought she had fallen out of favor last time, but she didn't expect that the emperor doted on her even more than before.
How great it would be if the emperor could share some of his favor with her, her son and her daughter.
