The Reborn Lady

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

With the passage of carriages and horses, the reply letter from Emperor Jianlong to Prince of Yan arrived at the end of February.

This letter arrived at a very good time, because the fifth day of March was the wedding day of Wei Shan and Yang Pengju. If the Prince of Yan was as moody as before, this marriage might be overshadowed.

Fortunately, after reading the letter, Prince Yan regained his former spirits and took the initiative to call Princess Xu and Concubine Li to inquire about the progress of the wedding preparations.

This good news was also conveyed to all the courtyards in the palace by Princess Xu and Concubine Li, including the touching poem by Emperor Jianlong.

Yin Hui hugged Xiao Heng and kissed her son's little face hard.

She knew very well that at the banquet that day, her father-in-law just wanted to vent his anger on Xiao Heng, but Xiao Heng was lucky and accidentally recited a poem about missing his hometown, which either caused her father-in-law to express his true feelings or he took the opportunity to act for the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. In short, he cleverly conveyed his feelings of longing to the old emperor in the capital and alleviated the old emperor's suspicion that he might be resentful of her father-in-law.

After the old emperor wrote back, her father-in-law didn't feel so aggrieved anymore. Although with her father-in-law's character and scheming, he would definitely prepare what needed to be prepared in secret, and it would be more smooth because there would be less suspicion in the capital.

Yin Hui fully supported her father-in-law in seizing the throne. Only when her father-in-law held the power could their whole family be well. If her father-in-law surrendered like the other two princes, and the court conferred a crime on him, deposed him as a commoner, and exiled him to a remote place, their whole family would suffer.

"Mom, I want to go out and play." Seeing his mother smiling happily, Xiao Heng made a small request.

He hadn't been to the garden to play for a long time. Every time he wanted to go, his mother said it was too cold outside, but Xiao Heng was not afraid of the cold.

"Let's go, mom will accompany you." Yin Hui replied with a smile.

Xiao Heng jumped for joy.

There is a garden behind the East Six Houses and the West Six Houses respectively, which are connected to the main garden of the palace on the Qinzheng Hall side. There are only two moon gates. However, daughters-in-law such as Yin Hui seldom take their children across the moon gate on the East Six Houses side, in case they run into their father-in-law when they go out, which is inappropriate. On the contrary, the wives and concubines in the West Six Houses have more freedom. Even Concubine Li often goes to the main garden to meet Prince Yan.

The weather is good today, the sun is warm, and the breeze blows on your face, bringing a faint plum fragrance.

Xu Qingwan had to assist Princess Xu in preparing for the wedding. Ji Xianxian was free, so she brought Silang and Zhuang Jie'er to the garden, while Erlang went to the study to study.

Seeing Yin Hui, Ji Xianxian immediately came over. The children went to play aside, and the two sisters-in-law sat in the sun and chatted.

Ji Xianxian patted her chest with a handkerchief and complained to Yin Hui in a low voice, "I have been so depressed for the past month. I dare not go anywhere. Not only that, but I was scolded by my father because of Silang."

When the father-in-law is in a bad mood, it is useless for them to just hide. The father-in-law will call the men and children over. The men will be scolded, and the wives will also feel discouraged.
