It was already evening and when Concubine De saw that Deyin had not returned to the palace yet, she became worried that Deyin might have lost her way.

As soon as she went out, she saw Lingwei bringing Deyin into Yonghe Palace. Lingwei was raised in the deep palace and had not seen Empress Defei many times, so she paid her respects and went back.

Deyin went forward and helped Defei into the house. The weather was still a little cold, so Defei put the hot water bottle in her hand into Deyin's arms to warm her hands.

"You two really look like a couple. Even your favorite children are the same." Defei knew that Yinzhen had the best relationship with Lingwei among all the princesses. She didn't expect that her future daughter-in-law would stay with her for a long time and not return to the palace. She didn't know how likable the child was.

As soon as Deyin heard it, she knew that Empress Defei was talking about Lingwei. If Empress Defei liked the child and could bring her to Yonghe Palace to raise her, wouldn't that be a great thing? On the one hand, she would be able to spend more time with Lingwei, and secondly, the child would be freed from suffering and Yinzhen would feel at ease.

I couldn't express my thoughts directly, so I had to wait until the next time Yinzhen came to talk to him about this matter. I was sure that his mother would agree to his request.

Empress Defei had the South Palace cleaned up for me to live in. I didn't expect that once I came to the Qing Dynasty, I would have the opportunity to sleep in this palace. This feeling is really a little unreal.

"Your son pays respects to my mother." Yinzhen went straight to Yonghe Palace after the court session. Defei counted the number of times Yinzhen came here more and more frequently in recent days. It seems that his whole mind is here. Defei is also relieved to see that her son can meet someone he really likes. For those born in the Aisin-Gioro family, it is a luxury to have a true love. This is Yinzhen's blessing, and his mother should help him.

Defei remembered that Kangxi asked her to go to the imperial study yesterday and left this private space for the two of them.

As soon as Defei left, Yinzhen sat down and put his hand on Deyin's waist and pulled her in. Before Deyin could react, she sat on the same chair with Yinzhen. The two of them were so close that Yinzhen's face was almost touching Deyin. He had been holding her waist, so she couldn't move.

"Yinyin, I miss you so much." Yinzhen took the opportunity to rub Deyin's face, making Deyin feel itchy.

It had only been two days since they last met, but Deyin saw Yinzhen actually acting like a spoiled child towards her. She didn't expect to see another side of the Fourth Master, who was considered mature and steady by the ministers.

Deyin thought that she had something important to discuss with him, so she pushed Yinzhen's head away from her. Yinzhen became more serious when he heard that it was about Lingwei. He felt that Deyin's idea was just what he wanted, so he thought about talking to his mother about it later.

As soon as Defei arrived at the imperial study, Kangxi had been waiting for her there for a long time. Defei took off her cloak and walked forward to grind ink for Kangxi and watched him review memorials.

"Deyin has been staying at your place for a few days, my dear concubine, what do you think of her?" Kangxi asked Deyin as soon as he arrived. Deyin talked about how well matched she was with Yinzhen, which made Kangxi laugh. He didn't expect that Deyin would still choose Yinzhen, but this position would be unfair to her.

Since the thirteenth wedding, Yinzhen had mentioned to him that he wanted him to grant them marriage, but he was afraid that Deyin would not agree before. It seems that he thought too much. Now the time has come. After finishing the matter of the Mongolian Khorchin tribe, he will issue an imperial decree to grant them marriage, which can be regarded as a wish of his.

When Defei knew that the marriage was arranged, she thanked Kangxi on behalf of Yinzhen first.

During lunch, Concubine De wanted to give Yinzhen a surprise, so she didn't tell him about the conversation in the imperial study. Yinzhen saw that his mother was in a good mood today, so he told her that he wanted to bring Lingwei to Yonghe Palace.

Defei knew that the two children liked the Tenth Princess, so she agreed to their request. She thought that if Deyin married into the family, Lingwei would be able to accompany her and entertain her, which would be a good thing.

The next day, Deyin went to pick Lingwei up. Lingwei's mother was unwilling to let her go at first. Since the emperor stopped visiting her, she had been living in the deep palace for many years and her mental state was a little abnormal. She shouted in the yard that someone was trying to snatch her child. Her daughter, whom she had ignored for many years, was taken away by Concubine De at this time. She refused to let go and even wanted to use this child to make a deal.

Deyin couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she asked someone to pull An Jia away and protect Ling Wei behind her. When Ling Wei left, she didn't seem to be reluctant at all, but seemed to be relieved to leave this place.

She brought Lingwei to meet Concubine De. When Concubine De saw the child, she was impressed by her ability to speak. In addition, Deyin mentioned this girl to her every day, so she had a good impression of her.

Lingwei looked at the smile on Concubine De's face. It was a smile she had never seen on her own mother's face. It was the smile she had imagined. She had never expected to see it here today. Lingwei was a strong-willed person, but today she inadvertently shed tears. Concubine De stepped forward to help her up and wiped away the tears on Lingwei's face with a handkerchief.

Deyin asked Lingwei to live with her in the South Palace, so it was rare for her to clean up a room.

Deyin knew that Lingwei liked to eat pastries, so she thought of trying to make bread so that Concubine De could also have a taste.

The palace maids had never seen this thing and couldn't help. Fortunately, Deyin fell in love with baking when she was in college and taught herself some desserts.

Deyin tried hard to recall the steps and finally succeeded. Although it was the simplest brown sugar bread, it was soft and fluffy, which was enough for people here to try.

After taking a small bite, Concubine De praised the brown sugar bread highly and asked Deyin repeatedly what this new thing was.

"Your Majesty, this is a pasta dish that Westerners call bread. I've also heard people in the folk say so." Deyin saw that Defei loved this bread very much, so she thought of making it for her in different ways in the future.

Yinzhen did not come to Yonghe Palace today, but the news of Li Shuran's pregnancy was known to the entire Fourth Prince's Mansion. Geng Yuehua was even more shocked when she heard it, because she did not expect that this vixen had seduced her Fourth Prince away right in her mansion.

Today, Geng Yuehua wanted to take the opportunity to kill her child under the pretext of visiting Li. Fortunately, Li was careful and knocked the bowl of medicine to the ground, so Geng's intention was not fulfilled.

Li Shuran's maid asked someone to look at the bowl of medicine, and found that it contained musk that could cause miscarriage. The maid felt that the matter had to be told to the Fourth Prince, after all, the loss of the concubine's first child had become a source of worry for Li Shuran.

After Yinzhen found out, he punished Geng and forbade her to leave the palace for a month. After all, she was his own flesh and blood, and he would not let anyone who wanted to harm him go. Yinzhen did not expect Geng Yuehua to be so bold.

After being under house arrest, Geng's temper calmed down a lot. She thought that the Fourth Master must have her in his heart. As long as she could win the Fourth Master's heart again, she would not lose anything that Li had now.
