The Qing Palace Never Meets Spring

On the first day of the eleventh month, Kangxi took away a group of princes as Qingwan wished, but at this point they had nothing to do with them anymore.

She took her two children back to the Zhao family's residence. After Malhan resigned from his official post, the house became much quieter, and there were fewer people waiting outside than before when she returned.

Upon entering, Moyaqi kowtowed to Malhan and Lijia, saying, "Grandson greets Guoluomafa and Guoluomama." The quick-thinking individuals didn't even have time to react.

After a moment of stunned silence, Malhan burst into laughter, picked up the person on the ground, and tried to sit down with her in his arms, but found that he could no longer lift Moyaqi. So he could only let her stand in front of him, squat down and speak to her: "Princess, your Guo Luo Mama and I are not worthy of such a grand gesture from you right now."

Qingwan only taught her to greet the two people when she saw them, but she didn't teach her to perform such a grand ceremony.

Moyaqi looked at Marhan with some surprise: "I also bow to my father's father, that is, my royal father, in the same way."

"You are my father and mother, shouldn't I bow to you like this?"

This time, not only Marhan but also Li Jia laughed out loud. Marhan was still squatting down and talking to Moyaqi: "Your royal grandfather is the most honorable person in the world. Not only you, but also your Guo Luo Mama and I have to bow to him like this."

"Then what kind of people are you, Guo Luoma Fa?"

"We're just ordinary people now."

Moya thought for a moment and said, "This is the first time I've met you all, so I don't know, but I'll come to see you more often with you in the future."

Marhan only squatted for a short while before asking someone to help him up and sit down. He then said to Qingwan with a self-deprecating laugh, "Even I have to admit I'm getting old."

Qingwan felt a pang of bitterness and sorrow in her heart. She knelt before the two of them and said, "It is my fault for being unfilial and causing you both worry."

When Moyaqi saw Qingwan kneeling, she knelt down beside her. Li Jiashi and Malhan had no choice but to pull them up from the ground one by one.

As soon as Hongtun entered the room, Li Jiashi sat him on her lap, and the way she bent over to pull Qingwan was not comfortable.

So Qingwan didn't insist on kneeling. After getting up, she bent over and let Li Jia's free hand slowly caress her face: "As long as you are well, your father and I will be at ease."

"It was your father and I who couldn't protect you, and you suffered so much. When you went in with the Thirteenth Prince, your father went to plead with His Majesty, but was scolded and shrunk back."

Marhan had been quietly asking Moyaqi what books she had been reading, but when he heard Li Jia say this, he tugged at her sleeve and said, "Don't say this in front of your daughter. I'm an old man, give me some face."

There were only a few people in the room at this time, so Qingwan felt at ease speaking to them and said, "You two can rest assured, the grievances were all suffered by the Thirteenth Prince, and His Majesty did not blame us because of the Thirteenth Prince."

Li Jia said repeatedly, "That's good." Since Yinxiang's accident, she hadn't slept a full night. Seeing that Qingwan's complexion was still rosy and the two children were doing well, she was finally relieved.

Before Marhan retired, Qingwan couldn't easily leave the palace, but luckily, the two could still catch a glimpse of each other at palace banquets. Since Marhan retired, she no longer had the opportunity to enter the palace. Fortunately, Qingwan and the others have now left the palace.

Ever since she learned that the Thirteenth Prince had established his own residence, she wanted to go there immediately, but Marhan stopped her, saying that the situation was unclear and that Qingwan would naturally return when the time was right. She has been waiting ever since.

Moyaqi was by Marhan's side, but he couldn't bear to let go of his granddaughter, so he simply let her stand in front of him.

Moyaqi behaved herself and didn't leave.

Marhan originally wanted to ask Yinxiang, but seeing Qingwan and Li Jia chatting about interesting things that had happened in the past few years, he couldn't bear to interrupt.

He also chatted with Moyaqi in a very serious manner. Fortunately, one of them was very good at chatting, and the other was very respectful.

After a while, a maid came to report: "Sixth Aunt has arrived with Young Master Cousin."

Qingwan beckoned Moyaqi to her side, and after Jingwan entered, she told her that this was her sixth aunt and cousin.

Moyaqi still obediently called Jingwan "Sixth Aunt," but her eyes lit up when she saw Fuseng'e.

Although Fu Seng'e was not much older than Mo Yaqi, he had grown up under Wu Yunzhu's care since childhood. Although Wu Yunzhu treated his grandson well, he was a quiet person.

Fu Seng'e also imitated her, but he had only learned a lot of gentlemanly virtues without understanding their deeper meaning, and was very rigid in his adherence to rules.

Under Moyaqi's gaze, her face slowly turned red, but she still had to pretend to be calm and greet her, "Hello, cousin."

Moyaqi was different. She had lived on both sides since she was a child and had a very outgoing personality. Whether it was Qingwan Yinxiang or Fourth Prince Consort Yinzhen, they never restricted her from playing around.

So, like most children her age, she was playful and mischievous, with no inhibitions in her mind.

Seeing that Fu Seng'e liked him, she tried to pull him to play: "Sixth Aunt, can I take my cousin out to play?"

Whether she was at home with Mingxin and Hongchang, or at Prince Yong's residence with Hongshi, she had to wait for them to finish their homework before she could play with them. So she asked Jingwan first.

Fu Seng'e, who was being pulled along by Mo Yaqi and was at a loss, immediately looked to Jing Wan for help.

Jingwan ignored his pleading look and smiled at Moyaqi, saying, "Of course you can. Whatever you want to do with your cousin, however you want."

He then said to Fu Seng'e, "You must not bully your cousin."

Fu Seng'e reluctantly agreed.

Jingwan took Hongtun from Li Jia's arms and said, "This child was better when he was little. Look how cute Fuseng was when he was little. Now he's like a little block of wood, so rigid and inflexible. It's not fun to tease him anymore."

Qingwan still remembered what she had said before: "Are you doing well at home?"

Jingwan smiled and said, "Don't worry, what could possibly go wrong for me? Although it's not a good time to take advantage of your influence now."

But I've seen through it all. I'm always bickering with his two sisters-in-law, while your brother-in-law and his two brothers are very close. It's all meaningless.

Let's not talk about that. Anyway, you know me; I never let myself be wronged.

Is it convenient for you to visit the Thirteenth Prince? Your brother-in-law said he has something he wants to discuss with him.

"If it's inconvenient," Jingwan took out a letter and handed it to her.

Qingwan took the letter and felt that it was quite thick. She sighed inwardly, thinking that it was probably still the same old story.

After checking on the other family members, when it was time to call the two children back, Jingwan laughed so hard she fell onto Qingwan's shoulder. If Qingwan hadn't been supporting her, she probably would have laughed herself to the ground.

Looking at Moyaqi and Fuseng'e, who had just finished making the little dirty cat, Qingwan knew that it must have been Moyaqi who brought them.

Fu Seng'e was initially in high spirits, but after Jing Wan laughed at him, his face froze. Finally, Mo Yaqi said reluctantly, "Cousin, please come to my house often in the future."

Afterwards, Moyaqi excitedly pulled Qingwan along and said, "Oh my, my cousin is so handsome."

He added, "Actually, I know how to greet Guo Luoma and the others."

Qingwan squatted down and hugged Moyaqi in her arms for a while before letting her go.
