Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Knowing what Eunuch Wu was doing, Yin Yin fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind, and the faces of Zhao Mama and the others beside her also showed joy.

As the emperor's most trusted chief eunuch, Eunuch Wu represented the emperor's will to a certain extent.

Yin Yin was just a newborn child, yet he still remembered to bow, the significance of which is self-evident.

Eunuch Wu straightened up, his face sharp, and said to Granny Zhao, "Take good care of Miss, and you'll be rewarded in the future."

Granny Zhao hurriedly bowed and agreed.

When his gaze fell on Xi Yan's face, Eunuch Wu's expression became more friendly, and he led him outside to talk.

When Yinyin woke up again, she found that she had been moved to a different place.

Seeing her big, curious eyes looking around, Granny Zhao whispered, "Our young lady will be living next to the old master and old lady from now on!"

After Yin Yin's father passed away, she was left with almost no choice but to live with her grandparents.

After all, the emperor cares about her, so the household's attitude must be made clear.

However, there is one downside to living with the old master and old lady: male servants such as Xi Yan are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.

Fortunately, Ruhua and Xiyan are husband and wife, and Ruhua is also Yinyin's wet nurse, so Xiyan and the others are not left without a place to know about Yinyin.

When Yinyin first moved here, although the old master and old lady would come to see her, it was relatively infrequent. Most of the time, they would call over Granny Zhao to ask about the situation.

When Yin Yin grew a little older, and was able to laugh out loud and roll over, she was taken to them by Chang.

Yin Yin could sense that, although the two of them cared about her in every way at the beginning, they weren't really that close to her.

Yinyin was aware of this.

They longed for a grandson, but instead, a granddaughter was born, and their daughter-in-law committed suicide.

The truth is that the daughter-in-law couldn't accept her husband's departure and committed suicide out of love.

But there were also many people outside who secretly speculated that their family had driven someone to their death.

On one hand, they felt that their daughter-in-law truly loved their son, but on the other hand, they felt that she was useless, abandoning their daughter who was only a few days old. They had mixed feelings.

This complexity was transferred to Yin Yin, and naturally, they also felt a bit awkward.

However, now that she was under someone else's roof, Yin Yin knew very well who her relatives were for the sake of her future life. Even if she hadn't seen the old master and old lady for several days, she still treated them with affection and smiled at them.

Yin Yin was so adorable that within two months, the old man and his wife couldn't stop thinking about her. They had to see her and play with her for a while every day.

At this point, all the maids and servants in the courtyard truly began to treat little Yinyin as their proper mistress, and they burst into tears, rushing to see if she needed anything.

When Yinyin turned three, she was almost grown up. On New Year's Eve that year, Granny Zhao brought her beautiful new clothes.

"Granny, this dress is so beautiful! Don't I look even better in it?"

Seeing Yin Yin admiring herself in the bronze mirror, Granny Zhao laughed and said, "Miss looks good in anything."

As she spoke, Granny Zhao called for the dressing table to be opened and began to comb Yin Yin's hair.

Yinyin is small and her hair isn't long, so she simply tied it into two small buns.

When Yinyin was brought to the old lady's place, the old lady pulled her in front of her and examined her carefully: "Not bad, our Yinyin looks like a lucky doll today."

Yinyin shyly hid in her arms: "Grandma is holding that lucky doll now!"

The old lady was even happier to hear this, and coaxed her a couple more times before touching her little face and saying, "How about Yinyin goes to the palace with her grandfather, grandmother, and uncle this year?"

In previous years, Yin Yin was still young and had not yet completed her mourning period, so the Qi family's masters would not take her with them when they went to the palace for banquets.

Now that Yinyin has finished her mourning period, her face has gained a lot of baby fat, her complexion is fair with a rosy glow, her skin is tender and soft, and she has several freckles on her hands, which shows that her family has taken good care of her.

If we don't take her to see the emperor now, when will we?

"Go to the palace?" Yin Yin deliberately tilted her head and thought for a moment. "If Yin Yin goes to the palace, will she be able to celebrate the New Year with her grandparents and uncles?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady's face softened. Before she could speak, Yin Yin was picked up by Old Master Qi, who had just entered: "That's right, this year our family can have a reunion in the palace."

Yinyin sat comfortably in her grandfather's lap: "Then Yinyin wants to go."

"That's great," said Uncle Qi, who followed in behind, gently pinching Yin Yin's cheek. "When the time comes, your uncle will take you to play with the other uncles, and they'll all give Yin Yin a gift!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi pointed at her son and was speechless for a moment: "In just two years, she will be of marriageable age. You should be more prudent in your actions. How can you take Yinyin to ask for a betrothal gift?"

"Oh," Young Master Qi only straightened up for a short while before picking up Yin Yin and playing with her.

Grandpa Qi and his wife ignored them and went about their own business.

Suddenly remembering something, Young Master Qi asked, "Father, Mother, have you taught Yinyin how to bow?"

"She's just a child, Yinyin doesn't need to be perfect. Just being able to roughly imitate what we've taught her is enough. There's no need to be so careful in teaching her," Old Master Qi said, ruffling Yinyin's hair with deep eyes. "Our Yinyin has a bright future ahead of her."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yin outwardly mimicked her uncle's expression of confusion, but inwardly she felt a sudden tightening of her muscles.

Surely the emperor wouldn't have made such a promise to the crown princess so early on?

We need to find out indirectly.

Regarding the identical expressions of the uncle and nephew, Old Madam Qi remarked, "These two, uncle and nephew, have exactly the same little expressions."

"It's a pity that Consort Shu is missing; otherwise, the three of them together would certainly look even better."

Consort Shu was Yin Yin's aunt. She entered the palace after His Majesty ascended the throne and was one of the five concubines initially appointed in the palace. Later, she was promoted to Zhaoyi. After Yin Yin's father passed away, she was quickly promoted to Consort Shu and ranked first among the four virtuous and wise consorts.

“We’ll be able to see her once we’re in the palace,” said Old Master Qi. “These past two years, Consort Shu has been asking about Yin Yin. This year, we can finally pay our respects to her.”

Listening to his parents' words, Young Master Qi secretly pursed his lips.

Seeing that Yinyin was looking over, he quickly made her be quiet, and then whispered in her ear, "Yinyin, be good, please don't tell your grandparents what you saw, okay?"

Yinyin looked at him and tilted her head: "But Yinyin didn't see anything!"

Young Master Qi's eyes lit up: "Good Yinyin, when your uncle goes out in a few days, I'll bring you back some candied hawthorns!"

Yinyin then made a condition: "I also want a sugar figurine."

“Alright, bring them all.” Bringing an extra sugar figurine was no big deal for Young Master Qi. “I’ll draw whatever you want to draw later!”

"I can paint anything—birds, insects, fish, flowers, trees, people. Last time I even saw someone ask for a phoenix amidst peonies!"
