Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

"Are you going back to the palace today? If you are not in a hurry, just stay at home for one night. Your second mother misses you very much."

Yin Zhong's eyes were kind and his voice was filled with the gentleness of a loving father.

Now that Asilan is dead and all the Dongliu people outside the palace have been wiped out, there is no threat in the palace and Ye Zhan is here, so Yin Qingxuan is not too worried.

Now that I think about my life and death, I really should spend time with my family on behalf of my original owner.

He nodded and said, "That's fine."

"Then let's talk to your second mother. Since your mother passed away, she has worked hard for you brothers and sisters."

It was indeed not easy for Su Minglan these years, but she didn't complain at all. Although Yin Zhong never said anything, he always saw it.

Yin Qingxuan nodded.

"My daughter knows, there is something, I wonder if Er Niang has told her father?"

Yin Zhong asked: "What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, my daughter came home and talked to Er Niang about opening a shop. Er Niang was very interested in it, and I also have some scraps to sell, so I wanted Er Niang to buy two shops and leave one for me. I want to build a clothing store and sell some cosmetics and groceries, but I don’t know what dad means. Are you willing to let my second mother do these things?"

Although she has little contact with Su Minglan, Yin Qingxuan can tell that she is a woman with a very traditional temperament. She typically obeys her father at home and her husband when she gets married. If Yin Zhong can support her, she will definitely be more confident.

At the beginning, Yin Qingxuan was completely thinking about herself, but now she is thinking about the Yin family.

Even if Yin Zhong no longer serves as an official in the court one day, as long as he makes money in his hands, he will still be able to establish himself.

Yin Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Before you got married, your second mother was also a stand-alone woman. Since she came to the Yin family, she has devoted herself to taking care of you, so she has not been involved in business anymore. If she still likes it now, she will be a father." Naturally I won’t object.”

Yin Qingxuan raised the corners of her lips and smiled lightly.

"That's great. Since we have to wait for my mother's death anniversary, I might as well take advantage of these two days to finalize the store."

"This is a matter between you and your second mother. You two can decide for yourself. Dad has no objection to this."

"Thank you dad, my daughter will go find her second mother now."

Yin Qingxuan felt slightly blessed and went to the backyard.

Su Minglan was talking to Yin Ziluo about the little princess. The little girl had been embroidering in the back just now and didn't know what was happening in front. When she learned that a sister-in-law was coming to the house, she wanted to go over and have a look.

Su Minglan said that the princess had rested and asked her to go back tomorrow. When Yin Qingxuan came in, Yin Ziluo was regretting it. If only she had gone to the front hall just now, she could see what her sister-in-law was like.

When I was feeling depressed, I saw my sister walking in, and I felt happy again.

"Sister, haven't you returned to the palace?"

Yin Qingxuan touched her hair gently and said with a smile: "Sister is not going back today, I will stay here tonight."

Yin Ziluo immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Great, I want to live with my sister."

Su Minglan was also very happy, and then she said angrily: "Don't mess around. It's not easy to sleep in a different place. If you stay with your sister again, won't you disturb her even more?"

Yin Ziluo pouted her lips and said reluctantly: "Then I won't live with my sister."

Seeing the disappointment on the little girl's face, Yin Qingxuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let us sisters share a room tonight. I sleep well and can sleep anywhere."

Su Minglan hesitated for a moment and said: "Is this possible? There are many things in your palace, so it will definitely be very uncomfortable if you don't sleep well. Unlike Ziluo, who is idle all day long and can still take a nap during the day."

"I have nothing to do in the past two days. Er Niang doesn't have to worry. I just told my father about the shop. He said that he won't get involved. Everything depends on Er Niang's wishes. If Er Niang doesn't object, I will prepare it tomorrow. I’ll set up a shop and I’ll transport all the things for sale to you.”

Su Minglan was worried about whether Yin Zhong would agree, but when she heard this, her face suddenly lit up with joy.

"That's great. Tomorrow, Er Niang will go look for a shop with you."

Yin Ziluo immediately said: "I'll go too."

Su Minglan nodded lovingly.

"Okay, let's go together. Let's take your sister back to her room first. It's been a tiring day."

"I understand, mother, sister, come with me."

There was no need to talk about red tape at home, and Yin Qingxuan was not the kind of person to show off, so she followed Yin Ziluo to her boudoir.

The little girl's room is very cutely decorated, with light pink gauze hanging beside the bed, and the bed cover is also pink satin embroidered with flowers, which looks very soft.

There are pink flowers and green leaves crocheted with wool on the wall, as well as a large cross-stitch, which was the one given to her by Yin Qingxuan.

Seeing Yin Qingxuan looking at the cross stitch, Yin Ziluo said with some embarrassment: "My embroidery is definitely not as good as my sister's, which makes her laugh."

Yin Qingxuan thought to herself that she didn't have the patience to embroider this kind of thing. She did buy one before, but she only embroidered the beginning and didn't want to do it anymore. She still doesn't have a finished product of her own.

Moreover, a bunch of messy threads were embroidered, but not as neatly as Yin Ziluo's, with a three-dimensional beauty.

"Sister, I don't have such skillful hands as you. This picture is very beautifully embroidered. If you like it, I will get you some more tomorrow."

Yin Ziluo immediately said: "Thank you, sister."

Yin Qingxuan smiled gently and said, "My family, why are you so polite?"

Yin Ziluo immediately said: "Sister, let me help you change your clothes."

"No, I'll do it myself."

Yin Qingxuan took off her skirt neatly and got into bed. Yin Ziluo didn't call anyone and lay down next to Yin Qingxuan.

Then he turned around and asked curiously: "Sister, do you really like the emperor?"

Yin Qingxuan was slightly stunned.

"Why do you ask?"

Yin Ziluo blinked her big eyes and said, "I remember that my sister used to like Prince Anping very much."

Yin Qingxuan coughed dryly and said, "My sister was blind before and mistakenly thought she was a good person."

Yin Ziluo nodded seriously.

"Prince Anping is not as good as the emperor's brother-in-law. He is powerful and good-looking. He and his sister are the real talents."

Hearing the words "Emperor's brother-in-law", Yin Qingxuan's mood suddenly dropped.

I don't know where Ye Jingyu is now, or whether the masked old man did anything to him.

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and I suddenly lost my mood to talk.

She sighed softly and said, "Zi Luo, sister is a little sleepy."

Yin Ziluo immediately said sensibly: "Sister, please take a rest first. I'll blow out the lamp right now."

After a moment, the lights went out.

Listening to the rustling sound, Yin Qingxuan suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness in her heart. She couldn't help but think of the countless days and nights when Ye Jingyu lay naked next to her.

She bit the corner of her mouth hard to prevent tears from falling.
