Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Ye Jingyu smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, get up."

The two kowtowed again and stood up respectfully.

"Your Majesty, please come."

Ye Jingyu nodded and stepped into the house.

Su Minglan looked at the child held by Yuncai again.

Xiao Nanfeng, with pink makeup and jade, was looking around with her fist clenched, her big black grape-like eyes full of curiosity.

What a beautiful child!

Su Minglan liked it and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Yin Qingxuan was sizing her up, and felt that this woman had a kind appearance and regular features, and she did not seem to be capable of any conspiracy.

It's just that people cannot be judged by their appearance. No one knows what she is thinking in her heart.

He winked at Yun Cai and followed Ye Jingyu through the door.

Everyone sat down separately as guests and hosts, but they were very polite but had nothing to entertain the emperor, so they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

There were some coarse tea leaves left before, so I quickly ordered someone to brew them.

Ye Jingyu smiled lightly and said: "General Yin, there is no need to be polite. I will sit down for a while and then leave. In three days, I will order someone to take Xuan'er back to the palace."

"This... the emperor has finally come to the house, so he should stay for a home-cooked meal."

"No, I have to go to the Ministry of Punishment, so these gifts are waived. General Yin and Xuan'er haven't seen each other for a year, so they must have a lot to say, so I won't disturb you to reminisce about the past."

After Ye Jingyu finished speaking, he stood up.

He came here just for a formality. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with back in the court, so naturally he wouldn't stay too long.

And I will go to the Ministry of Industry to see how the gunpowder production is going soon. It is rare to leave the palace, and I have to walk everywhere I should go.

Yin Zhong quickly stood up.

"Old minister, I respectfully send you to your Majesty."

Ye Jingyu nodded and led a group of guards out of the house.

It wasn't until Ye Jingyu left that everyone turned back to the courtyard.

Yin Zhong couldn't wait to take over Xiao Nanfeng.

"Let grandpa take a look."

Xiao Nanfeng stretched out her little hand and grabbed the skirt of Yin Zhong's clothes, looking at him with big watery eyes.

"Don't you know grandpa so soon?"

Yin Zhong chuckled and rubbed the tip of Xiao Nanfeng's nose.

Su Minglan followed, wanting to hug the child, but seeing Yin Qingxuan not talking to her, she closed her mouth again.

Several people returned to the house, and Yin Qingxuan was invited to take a seat.

She looked around and asked, "Where is my second brother? Isn't he in the house?"

Yin Zhong smiled and said: "Your sister wanted to go out for a walk, so your second brother took her with her."

As soon as Yin Zhong finished speaking, a crisp voice came from outside.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back, and my second brother bought me a candy man."

A girl of thirteen or fourteen ran in from the door. She looked somewhat similar to Su Minglan. She had a slightly pointed chin and big eyes. She was pretty, but she was a little thin and looked malnourished.

Su Minglan immediately scolded her.

"Your father's second brother's salary hasn't been paid yet, so how can you spend money randomly?"

She glared at her daughter fiercely and said, "Why don't you meet the Imperial Concubine soon?"

Only then did Yin Ziluo see a pretty young woman wearing nice clothes sitting in the hall.

She was startled for a moment, then shouted excitedly: "Sister, you are really back."

After saying that, he happily rushed towards Yin Qingxuan.

"Zi Luo."

Su Minglan was startled. Everyone knew that Yin Qingxuan didn't like the two of them, and they were afraid that she would push her daughter away in anger.

Yin Ziluo had already raised the candy man in his hand and said as if he was offering a treasure: "Sister, hurry up and eat the candy man. I haven't touched it before."

Looking at these big eyes full of expectation, Yin Qingxuan knew that she was sincere.

She smiled gently and said, "You can eat it, my sister won't."

As soon as these words came out, Su Minglan breathed a sigh of relief.

After not seeing each other for a year, Qingxuan has really changed. If it were in the past, she would never let Yin Ziluo get close to her.

Yin Ziluo still held up the candy man.

"Sister, you must try it. This candy is very expensive."

Xiao Nanfeng on the side heard the word "eat" and became impatient. He stretched out his little hand to grab it. Only then did Yin Ziluo realize that his father was still holding a child.

"Dad, is this sister Qingxuan's child?"

Yin Zhong smiled.

"Yes."

Yin Ziluo did not hesitate, and immediately handed the candy man to Xiao Nanfeng, and said with a smile: "Then consider it a meeting gift for my little nephew."

Xiao Nanfeng stretched out her little hand and grabbed the wooden stick in the candy man's hand. Her mouth opened wide and she was about to bite it.

Su Minglan hurriedly snatched the candy man away.

"This is incredible. The little prince is only a few months old. How can he eat such a thing? Don't stop fooling around."

Xiao Nanfeng frowned when he saw the candy man being snatched away, and his two pink and tender mouths also squeezed together in grievance.

"Nong Niang."

Xiao Nanfeng was very smart. After being wronged, he immediately wanted to find his mother.

Yin Qingxuan took him down, and Su Minglan quickly explained: "The Imperial Concubine, it's not that I don't want to feed the child, it's just that the little prince is too young, and I'm afraid that the syrup will hit his throat."

Yin Qingxuan lowered her head to coax Xiao Nanfeng but did not answer. Su Minglan couldn't help feeling embarrassed and looked at Yin Zhong as if asking for help.

Yin Zhong said hurriedly: "Qingxuan, you two ladies don't have any other intentions. The candy made from this syrup is very hard, and the child doesn't have teeth yet, so he can't bite this thing."

Yin Qingxuan didn't think much about it. Even if Su Minglan didn't grab it, she wouldn't let Xiao Nanfeng eat it. She was really just coaxing her son.

"fine."

Yin Qingxuan hugged Xiao Nanfeng, shook it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him, he will be fine in a while."

Xiao Nanfeng's eyes were red with grievance, and she hugged Yin Qingxuan's neck tightly with her small hands, still looking at the candy man.

Seeing the child in tears, Su Minglan felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing for the child to play with at home, and she couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

When he turned around, he saw a half-embroidered handkerchief and quickly gave it to Xiao Nanfeng.

"Look how beautiful this is. There are butterflies on it."

Although the color of these embroidery threads is old, Su Minglan comes from a master of embroidery, and her embroidery skills are still excellent. The butterflies are embroidered lifelike and fluttering their wings.

Xiao Nanfeng's eyes were immediately attracted, and he stretched out his warm little hand and grabbed the handkerchief.

The voice was soft and waxy as he said: "Butterfly~"

Su Minglan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Butterfly."

Xiao Nanfeng looked at her and said: "Diedie~"

The child laughed through tears, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Yin Ziluo ran over again, stretched out her hand and said, "Sister, can I hug him?"

Su Minglan scolded hurriedly.

"Zi Luo, don't be ridiculous. This is the prince. If he falls, even if you have ten heads, it won't be enough."

Yin Ziluo went to the street with her second brother today. She was originally in a good mood, but when she got home, she was scolded one after another, and her eye circles suddenly turned red.

She withdrew her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and stood aside, not daring to speak anymore.

Yin Qingxuan couldn't bear it, so she handed Xiao Nanfeng to her.

"Zhao'er is very heavy, can you carry it?"
