The winter of the 47th year of Kangxi's reign was not as cold as before. People in the palace were talking about some happy event that was about to happen, and even the winter days became warmer.

As soon as the Spring Festival was over, Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial decree to marry the 13th Prince Yinxiang to Shen Jiashi, the daughter of Shen Jiashi. The news spread throughout the capital, and Deyin was so happy that he even looked forward to the arrival of his own day.

I didn't expect that Jiayu would get married so soon, but the emperor gave Ma Xiwei to Yinxiang as a concubine the next day. If these two were to live under the same roof, who knows what would happen.

As the wedding date was approaching, Shen Jiaxu stayed indoors all day long. It was unclear whether she was happy or because Ma Xiwei had locked her up in the mansion and she didn't want to see Yinxiang.

Ten days later, Shen Jiaxu entered the Thirteenth Prince's residence in a red dress, and other princes and nobles also came to congratulate her. Deyin saw that Li, the concubine of the Fourth Prince, was talking to Shen Jiaxu, so he found a reason to stand beside her and help Shen Jiaxu add tea for the guests.

Deyin handed the teacup to Li, but she didn't expect her to refuse it.

"Sister, it's all my fault. It's just that I'm too heavy to drink tea now. I hope you don't mind." Li Shuran couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen with her hand while speaking.

Yinzhen, who was standing by, was also shocked when he heard this. Did they slept together that night? But he had no recollection of it at all. If Li Shuran had not been lying next to him when he woke up that day, he would not even remember it.

A subtle feeling flashed across Deyin's eyes. Was Li Shuran asserting his sovereignty to her? Women's intuition is usually very accurate. Li Shuran has already regarded her as a competitor. Deyin knew that in this era, everything that happened to a man like Yinzhen was normal. He couldn't have only her as a woman, so she only cared about who Yinzhen's heart belonged to. She didn't care about anything else.

After hearing what Li Shuran said, Yinzhen's first reaction was not to care about her, but to look up at Deyin's expression. There was no trace of emotion on the little girl's face, and it was hard to tell whether she was jealous or not.

The ceremony was about to begin, and everyone returned to their seats. Today, only Deyin and Liliang came to attend the wedding banquet, so they were much freer. Liliang let Deyin do whatever she wanted and he didn't want to stop her. Seeing Deyin always glancing at the table of the Fourth Prince while eating, Liliang pressed her head to let her concentrate on eating.

After the wedding banquet, Yinzhen sent someone to send Li Shuran back to the mansion to have the imperial physician take a good look at her body, to make sure there was no accident. Previously, Li's fetus had slipped for some reason, and the cause has not been found yet. This time, Li Shuran was extremely careful and even prepared the meals in her own small kitchen.

Li Shuran was also extremely happy about the arrival of this child. It seemed that this was her fate. Even if Geng had been favored before, she still had not been able to conceive after so many attempts. This time, her wish was fulfilled.

After Yinzhen sent Li Shuran back home, he wanted to stay with Deyin for a while longer. Li Liang also saw through his sister's thoughts and returned home with an excuse.

Although Li Liang thought that the Eighth Prince was good before, now that Deyin already has someone she likes, he also supports her. Status is not important, as long as she can meet someone her sister likes, it is also good. After all, that person is the Fourth Prince, and many ministers want to send their daughters to the Fourth Prince's house, but they were all rejected by Yinzhen.

"Why did you come to see me? Why don't you go back to be with the children?" Deyin thought about what Li Shuran had just said and started to get angry with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen pulled her into an empty room and held her face in his hands: "My little girl is right here. Who else do I need to accompany?"

Deyin was also very easy to tease, and the temperature on Yinzhen's face began to rise as soon as he finished speaking. Yinzhen felt Deyin's temperature and hugged her in his arms.

"I miss you so much, I want you to be my wife." Yinzhen held the person in his arms and even spoke incoherently.

Deyin listened to Yinzhen's heartbeat and nodded.

Yinzhen looked at the little girl in his arms and nodded her agreement. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He had long wanted to ask the emperor for permission to marry her. Finally, the right time came. Yinzhen made up his mind to marry her openly as soon as possible.

Deyin looked at Yinzhen and was happier than when she found out that Li Shuran was pregnant. She knew that she really loved the right person. Deyin put her arm around Yinzhen's neck and stood on tiptoe to kiss him. This surprised Yinzhen a little. Usually when he kissed her, Deyin would always step back, but today she took the initiative.

Yinzhen's desire was aroused by the girl in his arms, and he slowly responded to her. The two of them were so intoxicated in it that they didn't even hear the person knocking on the door outside.

Seeing that no one responded from inside, the man pushed the door open and walked in. When Deyin heard the door open, she kept snuggling into Yinzhen's arms, fearing that her face would be seen by others.

The drunken man was helped in by the hostess. When Yinzhen saw that it was the ninth brother, he lowered his head and said to Deyin that it was okay and he could stick his head out.

Although Lao Jiu was drunk, he could still tell his brother apart when he saw him. He greeted Yinzhen and called Deyin "sister-in-law". Then he turned over and pressed the hostess under him. Yinzhen saw this and quickly pulled Deyin out of the room. The sound coming from the room made Deyin feel shy.

"Do you like the name you just gave me?" Deyin didn't react for a moment, and thought that Yinzhen was wondering whether he liked what the Ninth Prince had just done.

"What are you talking about?" Deyin shook off Yinzhen's hand.

"But you will soon be his sister-in-law," Yinzhen hurriedly caught up with the girl and said to her.

The two came to the courtyard, which was quiet and no one came to disturb them.

Deyin thought about how Laojiu had drunk too much and slept with a hostess, so she began to be curious about Yinzhen. Deyin asked Yinzhen if he was so casual even though he was drunk, but she was surprised by Yinzhen's words.

"Since you are so curious, why don't you try it yourself?" Deyin began to back away when she heard this. Yinzhen looked at her like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time. But these were all just teasing for the little girl. He couldn't bear to get drunk and let the little girl endure him alone.

Yinzhen told Deyin that his mother wanted to invite Deyin to the palace to accompany her. Deyin became nervous when she heard this. This was the order that Concubine De had asked the emperor for, and she could not ignore it. But how should she get along with his mother after entering the palace? She didn't know if Yinzhen's mother would like her. There are so many concerns when you like someone.

Yinzhen thought that if Deyin entered the palace, he would have a better reason to see her and get closer to his mother. No matter which aspect, it was good for him.

When he returned home in the evening, someone from the palace came to announce the emperor's oral order. Everyone in the Taifu Mansion knew that Deyin would go to the palace to accompany Concubine De for a period of time, and they all guessed that the eldest lady of the mansion would be getting married to which prince.

When Guaerjia saw her daughter's happy look, she also followed her joy. However, the palace was not as casual as the outside world. If she offended the nobles in the palace, it would be a big deal. Guaerjia kept telling her daughter to be smart at all times and to be less talkative in the palace. Presumably, Defei would take better care of Deyin because of the relationship with the Fourth Prince, so she felt relieved.

Juelan was even more anxious when she heard this. Every good opportunity was taken by Deyin, and nothing was hers. Why was she the only one who could enter the palace? Aunt Zhao didn't want to see her daughter like a grudge woman, complaining about this and that all day long, so she comforted her that Deyin's entry into the palace this time might not be a blessing. Juelan had always been thinking about the position of the Eighth Lady, and all she could do at this time was to pray that the emperor would never give Deyin to the Eighth Master.

The next morning, Yinzhen came to the Taifu Mansion to wait for Deyin. As soon as the door opened, everyone in the Taifu Mansion came to see Deyin off. Deyin got on Yinzhen's carriage and said goodbye to her mother and father.

When Aunt Zhao saw that the person coming was the Fourth Prince, she patted Juelan on the shoulder and said that everything could still turn out well.
