After learning the whole story, Yinzhen had a very bad impression of this Chen Yushi who loved to take shortcuts. He then presented the evidence and stripped Chen Yushi of his official position, reducing him to a commoner.

It was no surprise that Imperial Censor Chen was removed from office.

After returning to his residence, Imperial Censor Chen realized that his wife had tricked him. He went to question her, only to be told that she would rather become a nun than not get a divorce.

This Imperial Censor Chen may not have been unaware of what his mother had done, but he secretly condoned it. Imperial Censor Chen was keen on studying, but he was still insecure and always felt that his new wife would look down on him from the bottom of her heart. So he was unhappy with himself and wanted his wife, who came from a good family, to experience the taste of unhappiness as well.

Actually, this matter didn't benefit Chen Yushi's wife either, but she still did it, preferring to spend half her life in asceticism rather than continue like this.

This is also the result of the Chen family's own actions. Even if they couldn't let her have a child of her own, they wouldn't have perished together with her.

In life and in business, one should not go too far. If you drive someone to a dead end, it's fine if you can truly eliminate future troubles, but if you can't, then it will definitely result in mutual destruction.

Aside from being funny, the matter concerning Imperial Censor Chen wouldn't leave much of a mark on the minds of those court officials. Of course, the storyteller in the teahouse would keep it in mind.

Soon, the subject of gossip in the capital became the modern-day Chen Shimei, Imperial Censor Chen.

The fact that the two share the same surname is a small matter, but it serves as a reminder to some people. The old saying, "Marry your daughter up high and marry your wife down," still holds some truth.

Especially those who wanted to find a son-in-law through the imperial examinations, after this experience, decided to find a suitable match for their daughters.

Some people believe that a good match doesn't guarantee love, but in the end, you'll find that most couples who have a good outcome are well-matched in terms of social standing. Even if there's a difference in social status, at least they should be equal in character and ability.

While the real estate market in Xiaotangshan was booming, and land purchases were still underway, Yinzhen had already arranged the geomantic map for the Yuanmingyuan.

The Yuanmingyuan held a very special significance for Yinzhen. He spent more than half of his life there after ascending the throne in his previous life. There, he experienced moments of high spirits, days and nights of hard work, regrets, and resentment...

Throughout his life, he still wanted to continue living in that place. The thought of the Old Summer Palace disappearing completely in his eyes was a very unpleasant feeling.

Emperor Yinzhen wanted to rebuild the Yuanmingyuan, hoping that one day, a hundred or a thousand years later, the Yuanmingyuan would still be a real building.

Yinzhen heard Yunrong talk about some of the regrets that later generations had about the Yuanmingyuan, which made Yinzhen have a strong attachment to the Yuanmingyuan.

Yinzhen himself couldn't draw a geomantic map, but he had lived in that place before, so he could draw a rough sketch. Once he had the sketch, he could just give it to someone else to modify the data.

Thanks to the introduction of Arabic numerals, the work efficiency of various departments has improved recently, and the work efficiency of the Ministry of Works has also increased.

By the end of the year, the geomantic map of the Old Summer Palace was also completed, and the hot spring palace in Xiaotangshan was half-built.

Twenty years have passed since the Kangxi Emperor's reign began. In the twenty-first year of his reign, Yinzhen planned to complete the Hot Spring Palace by March of this year, and then immediately begin the construction of the Yuanmingyuan Garden.

Yinzhen hoped to move into the Yuanmingyuan Garden in the twentieth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.

In the twenty-first year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the inner palace of Yinzhen was very peaceful. Of course, it was also possible that the lingering effects of Consort Rong's actions still made people wary and hesitant to act rashly.

On the other hand, the Qing Dynasty time-traveling princess Jingxian started to misbehave again. After all, she had a cheat code, and her mother wasn't completely indifferent to her.

Jingxian may not be very bright, but she's not really stupid. After being in the nunnery for a while, she realized that her family no longer cared about her.

She started to panic. She had considered running away, but she had heard that a travel permit was required to travel, and as a woman, she would be unarmed and her safety would be a problem if she went out.

Then she started to soften her stance. Her mother had always doted on her daughter, and she was also unhappy about sending her to a nunnery. Seeing her daughter soften her stance, she knew she couldn't bring her daughter back for the time being, but she could at least make her daughter's life a little easier.

With her mother's secret financial support, Jingxian had no shortage of money. She put her thoughts into her mind and decided to make something good.

Yinzhen had been keeping a close eye on her. When he learned that Jingxian had started to act recklessly, he didn't order anyone to take any rash action. Instead, he had people keep a close watch on her and see what she was up to first.

Yinzhen would naturally not allow anyone to do anything immoral or heinous, but he was not the kind of person to go to extremes if it was something trivial.

Besides, Yinzhen also had some selfish motives. If the incense was blended well, it could also be a weapon. Yinzhen used to advocate that a real man should act with integrity and uprightness, but after seeing more things, he realized that integrity and uprightness depend on the person, the situation, and the time.

When dealing with an enemy that must be dealt with, one should use every means possible; when dealing with an opponent, one should be upright and honest.

Yinzhen had no rivals, but he had many enemies to deal with, some far away on the other side of the sea, and others nearby, such as the ever-watchful Galdan.

Although Galdan has been more obedient in recent years, even more so than in his previous life, Yinzhen knew that it was only temporary. The reason Galdan was so obedient in this life was because he had been intimidated when the Three Feudatories were suppressed.

Yinzhen had his own sources of information, and he felt that Galdan wouldn't stay quiet for long.

Spices can be used to obtain useful information when necessary, and can also help avoid many casualties.

Jingxian had no idea that she was being watched. She recently wanted to create a fragrance that could bewitch people.
