Mrs. Chang Tai looked at the slightly haggard person in front of her with concern, and said softly: "Since you have returned safely, you must take good care of yourself. It's really heartbreaking to see you running around outside these days! Right now, your brothers are still busy with their own tasks and have not returned yet, but don't worry, as long as they are free, they will definitely come to visit you without stopping." After that, she gently took the other person's hand and patted it to comfort him.

Qingyao smiled and said to her sister-in-law in a firm tone: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! I will take good care of myself. I have experienced childbirth six or seven times, so I am quite experienced, so I naturally know what I am doing. Sister-in-law, please don't worry too much about me." She patted her sister-in-law's hand gently. "After saying that, Qingyao nodded confidently.

Mrs. Chang Tai frowned upon hearing this and whispered, "Although my sister has experience, every childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell. How can I not be worried? Moreover, you encountered so many setbacks this time, so you must take good care of yourself."

Qingyao felt warm in her heart, and she took Lady Chang Tai's hand and said, "Sister-in-law treats me so well, but there are so many things going on in the mansion now, and you have to take care of yourself more." Lady Chang Tai looked at her with annoyance and said, "Look at what you said, sister. We are a family, how can we not take care of each other." As she was speaking, a maid came in with a boiled tonic.

Qingyao had just taken the medicine bowl and was about to drink it when a voice came from outside the door. Chunyu said, "Your Majesty, Prince Li and Prince Yong heard that you returned to the capital and arrived at the Hesheli Mansion. They came to see you."

Mrs. Chang Tai: "Little sister, Prince Li and Prince Yong are your two sons."

Qingyao was delighted when she heard this. She quickly put down the medicine bowl and straightened her clothes. Lady Changtai also stood up and said jokingly, "Sister, your two sons are both outstanding. I'm sure you must be extremely proud."

Soon, Prince Li Yinreng and Prince Yong Yinzhen strode into the room. They first respectfully saluted Concubine Chang Tai and Concubine Chang Hai, then walked quickly towards Qingyao and shouted in unison, "Mother."

Qingyao looked at the two of them carefully, her eyes full of love, "Why are you two brothers together today?"

Prince Li Yinreng spoke first: "I heard that my mother has returned to Beijing. I was very worried and hurried to visit her." Prince Yong Yinzhen also nodded.

Qingyao smiled with relief, "Mother is fine, but you guys should be more careful when doing your work outside."

Prince Li Yinreng responded, "Mother, I always keep your teachings in mind." Prince Yong Yinzhen then pulled out an exquisite brocade box from his bosom and handed it to Qingyao, "Mother, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng I specially found. It's extremely nourishing. I'll give it to you to replenish your body." Qingyao took it and smiled even more broadly, "My prince is always so thoughtful."

At this moment, Prince Li Yinreng's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was unwilling to be overshadowed. He hurriedly said, "Mother, I have also prepared a generous gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow." Qingyao waved her hand, "I am very satisfied that you have such a thoughtful gesture."

Everyone chatted for a while, and seeing this, Mrs. Changtai said tactfully, "Sister, you haven't seen the two princes for a long time. You must have a lot of personal things to say. My second brother's wife and I will take our leave first." Qingyao nodded, and waited for Mrs. Changtai and Mrs. Changhai to leave.

Yinreng: "Mother. Where's Father? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Qingyao's smile froze slightly when she heard Yinreng's question. She took a deep breath before saying, "Your father has important matters to attend to. Besides, he just left after a lot of effort and won't be back for the time being." Yinzhen noticed the strange atmosphere and changed the subject, saying, "Mother, I recently got some good tea from Jiangnan. I'll bring it over for you to try someday." Qingyao looked at him dotingly, "Yinzhen is really considerate."

Yinreng snorted in displeasure. Qingyao saw what he was thinking and said, "How did Xiaowu offend you?" Yinreng quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Mother, don't be angry. I know I was wrong."

Qingyao sighed and said, "You two brothers are both dear to our mother. Don't let such trivial matters ruin our relationship. The situation in the court is complicated now. You must be more cautious in your actions and don't let anyone catch you."

Yinreng and Yinzhen responded in unison: "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

Qingyao: "You guys should help your big brother and don't cause him any trouble."

Yinreng nodded hurriedly: "Mother, my elder brother has always taken care of us. I will definitely assist you with all my strength." Yinzhen also agreed. Qingyao nodded with satisfaction and leaned back on the couch: "Okay. You two brothers, go and do your work. I, your mother, have nothing to do."

Yinreng and Yinzhen: "Mother, I will take my leave now. Please take good care of yourself." Then they turned and left.
