Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After Shen Ruyin followed her into the Imperial Concubine's palace, she immediately noticed that Imperial Concubine Shen's eyes were slightly red, just like her mother's.

"Oh!" Consort Shen covered her face with her fan when she saw the emperor. "Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to tell me beforehand? I've already put on my makeup and haven't had time to reapply the rouge yet."

The Emperor helped Shen Ruyin down to the ground and comforted Consort Shen, saying, "My beloved consort is naturally beautiful. Even if you come to see me without makeup, it will not diminish your beauty in the slightest."

"His Majesty always flatters me," Consort Shen lowered her fan, revealing her eyes, which sparkled with delight.

The emperor patiently coaxed the imperial concubine, while Jinyang, along with her children, followed the palace servants to a side room to wipe her face and reapply her makeup.

Since the emperor and the imperial concubine were still talking, they did not go over to disturb them. Just then, Jin Yang also wanted to ask, "Why do I see tear stains on Yin Yin's face, and why are Ye'er's clothes torn?"

Granny Lin was anxious to apologize, but Jin Yang stopped her with a raised hand and stepped forward to whisper about what had just happened between her and the Ninth Prince.

Jin Yang's face darkened. He touched his children's little hands and after a moment said, "The Imperial Concubine said she wants us to stay for dinner, so we can't go home right away."

"Granny Lin, go and borrow some needles and thread from the Consort's palace to temporarily repair Ye'er's wounds."

Granny Lin agreed and soon brought two sets of new clothes.

The head maidservant beside Consort Shen said, "Her Majesty knows that Princess Chang is bringing Marquis Xin and the County Princess back to the capital. She ordered us to prepare a lot of suitable clothes and items early this morning. Marquis and County Princess, please try them on quickly."

Jin Yang's expression relaxed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Ruyin and her brother were led separately to change into new clothes.

As for needles and thread, what needles and thread? We all have new clothes now, who still brings up that?

Shen Ruyin cried and fussed for a while, and the wisteria flowers in her hair withered and the petals were no longer fresh. The palace maid who was changing her clothes picked new ones to tie on her hair.

When Shen Ruyin came out, the Emperor and the Consort had just finished their conversation. The Consort had cleansed her face and put on makeup again, and she was very pleased to see her nephew and niece dressed up in the same new outfit.

"I knew you were dressed beautifully," the Imperial Concubine said, looking at the flower garland in Shen Ruyin's hair. She then ordered someone to fetch a folding fan that a child could use, painted with wisteria vines, which perfectly complemented the flower garland in Shen Ruyin's hair.

Shen Ruyin held the fan handle in her right hand and gently opened the fan. The tassel at the end of the fan drooped down gently, and her smiling eyes made the Imperial Concubine unable to resist hugging her.

"Why don't you stay in the palace and keep me company for a few days instead of going back?"

The emperor teased Shen Ruyin, saying, "Ruyin, stay in the palace for a few more days. Your uncle will have someone send you lots of beautiful clothes and jewelry, okay?"

Shen Ruyin was not tempted and turned to look at Jin Yang.

Jin Yang stepped forward and replied, "This child is young and spoiled so much that she can't be separated from me and her brother for even a moment. I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in the palace for more than half a day before she starts making a fuss about going home."

Shen Ruyin nodded in agreement: "I need to find my mother at night."

Consort Shen chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, Yin Yin is still just a child."

“Yes,” Shen Ruyin said slowly, pulling up her sleeves, “she’s not even four years old yet.”

Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jin Yang also covered the smile on his lips with his fan: "This child is imitating the old man's way of speaking again."

"Old man?" the emperor asked curiously.

“He’s an old man who rows boats in the countryside,” Jin Yang sighed. “When Yin Yin was little, we didn’t live in the old house. Whenever we went out, we had to take a boat for a while, and that’s how she learned to speak.”

They didn't live in the old house, but rather near the tomb of Marquis Shen.

Mentioning Lord Shen lowered the atmosphere in the hall.

Shen Ruyin was still a child and didn't need to be influenced by the atmosphere along with the adults, opening and closing the fan in her hand.

Seeing that she liked it, the emperor instructed the palace servants: "I have a few antique fans in my private treasury that children can use. Go and fetch them."

The palace servants left as instructed, but when they returned, the one leading the way was Eunuch Sun, who had gone to escort the Ninth Prince.

Shen Ruyin glanced at him.

They came back so quickly; I wonder what the Empress did with them.
