When Yinreng came out of the teahouse and walked around to the back of the house, Longkodo was no longer in sight.

So Yinreng went straight back to the Dragon King Temple.

This place has not yet been completely converted into a palace, and the area inside is not very large.

Yinreng originally wanted to meet Kangxi to satisfy his curiosity, but halfway through, he turned back to his residence.

Curiosity killed the cat. Why would he cause trouble for himself?

Even if he saw Longkodo, the old man would not reveal the progress of Longkodo's investigation to him, so it would be a waste of time to go there.

But just as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he ran into a flattering man—

But it was Li Xu.

"This servant greets the prince."

Yinreng raised his eyelids. This guy... is not a good person.

"Master Li, please stand up."

After he stood up straight, Yinreng asked,

"Master Li is here to look for me, but what's the matter?"

"I just want to ask if there is anything wrong with your living conditions so that I can urge the servants to correct them."

Li Xu was respectful.

The emperor's attitude today was also very ordinary, so he had to keep a close eye on things to avoid any more mistakes.

Yinreng sneered in his heart, thinking that he really treated himself as a slave.

Although a Suzhou weaver was only a fifth-rank official, he was appointed by Emperor Kangxi and was a true imperial envoy. In addition to purchasing official fabrics, he also had the power to supervise local affairs and report secret matters.

The actual status of Li Xu and others is on par with that of the governor, but now they are so servile and have thrown the integrity of scholars to waste?

He was impatient in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"I live very well here. Besides, I followed the Emperor to understand the people's sentiments, not to enjoy myself. If the people, embroiderers, and river workers here live well, even if the food and accommodation are poor, I believe the Emperor will not blame you."

Li Xu's face was stiff for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly.

"Your Highness is right."

Li Xu's father, Li Shizhen, was of Han ethnicity, but when wars broke out, Li Shizhen was captured by the Qing army. Later, he was favored by Li Xiquan, a lieutenant of the Plain White Banner, and was adopted as his son. Therefore, Li Xu was considered to be a bondservant of the Plain White Banner.

He entered the Imperial College at the age of sixteen and was appointed as the prefect of Shaozhou at the age of twenty-four. Later, after the Li family and the Cao family married, Li Xu was officially classified as "one of Kangxi's own".

Ever since Cao Yin was appointed as Suzhou Weaving Supervisor in the 29th year, the three in-law families, Li, Cao and Sun, seemed to have formed a big net and began to firmly control the three weaving supervisors in Jiangnan. It was not until Yinzhen ascended the throne that the three families were officially removed from the power field.

Yinreng did not have a good impression of Cao Yin and others.

In his previous life, Cao Yin and his men were still alive and well until his death. The bottom line is that he was too cautious. It was easy to get rid of Cao Yin and his men, but it was not easy to make up for it after slapping Kangxi in the face...

After meeting Li Xu in the afternoon, Yinreng did not take it to heart and turned around to play chess with Yinzhen.

At night, he returned to his residence and was about to take a hot bath. Before he took off his clothes, he saw his personal eunuch approaching and whispering,

"Lord Cao sent two maids over."

He didn't dare say anything extra, after all, his master was notoriously averse to women.

Back then, the palace maid climbed into the bed and implicated the old woman, Madam Yehele, who was close to the Empress Yuan. It was heard that some time ago, she had conveyed a message to the master, hoping to continue to serve in Yuqing Palace.

The master didn't agree.

Yinreng's hazy eyes suddenly became clear.

It’s true that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die!

Before it was completely dark, a dozen people came out of the prince's residence, "escorting" two beautiful maids and heading towards the county government office.

Cao Yin was not qualified to live in the palace.

He lived in a small courtyard separated from the county government office.

There was no shyness along the way, and even when someone looked over, the leading eunuch kindly stopped to explain.

"These two girls were sent by Lord Cao to be used by the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince said he had no shortage of servants, so he asked me to send them back to Lord Cao."

After he finished speaking this long string of words, the smile on the young eunuch's face was uglier than crying.

The expressions of those who listened to the explanation were not much better.

In other words, Lord Cao gave a beauty to the prince, and not only did the prince confiscate her, he also spread the news so easily?

this……

So before the team left the palace, the news had spread everywhere.

Cao Yin not only sent Yinreng's maid, but also Yinzhi and others.

When everyone heard that the second brother had openly publicized Cao Yin's act of giving the woman away, they were a little surprised.

This is not just a slap in the face of Cao Yin. He is the Jiangning Weaving Supervisor appointed by the emperor, and also represents the emperor's reputation.

Once this matter gets out, Cao Yin will become the topic of conversation in the entire Jiangnan officialdom tomorrow.

The emperor will also be embarrassed.

The second brother's operation is really eye-opening!

In addition to being shocked, Yinzhi also felt an unspeakable shame.

Today... he wants to recruit one of them.

Anyway, he already has his own mansion, so it's not surprising to bring back one or two maids. As long as their family background is clean, even the clan affairs office won't say anything.

After his second brother made such a fuss, he seemed like a lustful wolf.

Fortunately, he hasn't confiscated it yet, so I should go to my second brother's place to check on the situation first.

The other princes had the same idea as him, so in less than half an hour, the five princes who came with the emperor gathered together.
