Deyin got up early as soon as the sky was light. He had not yet met the legitimate wife since entering the mansion, and only today did he have some free time.

Qingxuan changed Deyin's clothes. Today was the first time she met the legitimate wife, so she naturally couldn't outshine Ulanara in front of everyone, so her clothes were naturally elegant. Qingxuan spent some time on the accessories, making them simple and elegant without losing their elegance.

"Yinyin, the lotus seed soup is a little cold, come and drink it quickly." Since Deyin got up, he naturally couldn't sleep, so he got up and sat in the small hall waiting for her.

Deyin adjusted her hair in front of the mirror and put on the indigo-colored hairpin that the Fourth Master had given her.

It was the first time Yinzhen saw her wearing a lotus-pink dress. Deyin sat in front of him and ate some lotus seed soup bit by bit.

"You are much more dignified today."

"When paying respects to Madam Madam, one must of course be careful."

Yinzhen gave a few instructions and then hurried to the palace. The recent floods in the Yellow River had not been completely resolved, the Crown Prince was facing frequent problems, the Ministry of Revenue under the charge of the Eighth Prince was in deficit, and now there was no money to provide for the Yellow River disaster relief, so the burden naturally fell on Yinzhen's shoulders.

Wanning Palace is not far from Qingyin Pavilion, and it only takes a short walk to reach it. Deyin arrived quite early, and the maid took her into the palace and went to pass on the message.

"I, Niuhulu Deyin, pay my respects to Madam Madam, and please have some tea." The ceremony of serving tea should be performed by kneeling down. Ulanara took the tea offered by Deyin and was allowed to sit down.

"I've heard that my sister is stunningly beautiful, and today I'm really dazzled by seeing you."

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam."

Ulanara asked Xiangyun to bring in the concubine who came to pay her respects.

Although Deyin and Li were both concubines, Li entered the palace earlier and had more seniority, so she should be offered the first cup of tea according to the rules. Li took the tea from Deyin with both hands, her eyes and eyebrows showing kindness.

The princesses Geng and Song bowed to Deyin and offered her tea. It was already late.

Ulanara asked Xiangyun to give the prepared gift to Deyin, a pair of gold and jade bracelets inlaid with glass beads.

Deyin remembered that when she looked at the furnishings in the palace just now, she knew that Fu Jin was a woman who liked to write and paint. There was an unfinished painting on the table. She had never used the ink and jade inkstone that her father gave her before. Fu Jin rewarded her with a valuable gift when they first met, so she should naturally respond and asked Qingxuan to send the inkstone to Fu Jin.

In Wanning Palace, Xiangyun gave the inkstone to Fu Jin. Ulanara could tell at a glance that it was an official instrument. The gift from the emperor was given to her by her father when she got married, and it had been placed in her mother's home. The gift from Deyin was in line with her status as the legitimate daughter of a powerful official. Perhaps these items were already commonplace for her.

"Xiangyun, put it carefully." Fu Jin wiped the inkstone clean with her hand.

In the Qingyin Pavilion ——

Deyin had just taken a short nap in the afternoon when Li came to visit.

"Sister, are you used to living here?" As soon as Li arrived, she began to care about Deyin.

Deyin showed Qingxuan the tea: "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, sister."

Li mentioned Hongyun from time to time, and Deyin naturally had an impression of this child. Yinzhen didn't have many children, and this child could add some vitality to the mansion. She could tolerate it, but she was afraid that there were people with ulterior motives in this mansion.

Not long after Li arrived, Geng Yuehua came to Qingyin Pavilion with her maid. It was such a coincidence that the two of them ran into each other again.

Geng Yuehua invited De Yinan to sit next to Li first: "Sister Li, why aren't you in the courtyard with Xiao Hongyun today?" Li couldn't help but say a few more words to her when she mentioned the child.

"Does Concubine like children?" Geng's topic revolved around children.

Deyin nodded. The child was extremely cute and she naturally loved him, but there were not many princes and princesses in the Fourth Master's mansion.

Geng turned her gaze to Deyin and said, "Since Madam Fu likes you, it would be great if she could give me a prince." After she finished speaking, she covered her face with her sleeves and smiled.

Li was a little surprised when she heard this. This was not something Geng Yuehua would say. When she was pregnant with Hongyun, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Geng regarded her as a thorn in her side. But now that she could say such words, it was really outrageous.
