When Emperor Kangxi learned that Yinti's wife was pregnant, he was very pleased and sent several gifts to Lady Gioro. This was to encourage the principal wives of the princes to set an example.

On this day, spring was in full bloom, and a feast was set up in the front courtyard of the Prince Heshuo's mansion, prepared in preparation for the pregnancy of Lady Jueluo.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, we are just waiting for the guests to arrive." The steward of the Prince's mansion bowed and reported to Yinti.

"Yes, the good wine is all prepared. His Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Yi, Prince Yong, and the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Princes will all be attending today. Don't neglect them," Yinti said.

"Everything is ready, Your Highness, please rest assured," the steward said.

"Hmm, has the opera clapper arrived? Today, I, the King, will have a good time with my brothers," said Yinti.

"They've already entered. This servant has arranged a room for them to prepare. Your Highness, please rest assured," the steward added.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave now," Yinti said. Last night, he had secretly sent someone to his estate in the suburbs to tell Master Shan and his apprentice that he would plant a Gu worm in the target's body today.

After the steward left, Yinti went to his study. His study was different from others'; instead of books and antiques, his was filled with various bows, crossbows, and swords. Some of these were weapons he had captured from the enemy on the battlefield.

Every time Yinqi saw these things, he felt a sense of pride. They silently reminded him of how many enemies he had killed and how many military achievements he had made.

"Father, why won't you look at me properly! How many military exploits have I made for the Qing Dynasty, how many people have I killed for the expansion of your Qing territory? Why won't you acknowledge me!" Yinti looked at the various weapons and swords hanging on an entire wall.

A chill gradually crept into Yinti's burning eyes as he stared at the weapons on the wall, seemingly recalling the sense of victory and slaughter he had experienced each time he acquired these weapons.

"Those who block my way shall die!!" Yinti recalled the words he had spoken on the battlefield to the enemy leaders whose heads he had chopped off.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince's carriage had already left the Forbidden City. He was wearing a light yellow brocade robe with a blue belt, and a small hat of the same color on his head. In the center of the hat was a piece of jade that shone with a faint light, which was an extremely fine piece.

"Your Highness, this servant is a little worried. What if Prince Heshuo were to harm you?" The high-pitched voice of the personal eunuch, Abao, rang out beside the Crown Prince.

"He wouldn't dare. In broad daylight, under the open sky. Besides, there are other people around." The Crown Prince closed his eyes to rest.

“Your Highness, why don’t I do it for you? You just need to pretend,” said A Bao.

"No, the Prince Heshuo's principal wife has finally given birth to a child. We should at least congratulate him properly. My elder brother hasn't had a son for a long time," the Crown Prince said sarcastically.

"Your Highness, we're almost there." Abao looked outside.

"Let's see if there are any other vehicles at his door. I can't be the first to enter. If there's no one, let's take another look around the neighborhood," the Crown Prince said, opening his eyes.

"Yes." Abao immediately climbed out of the carriage and conveyed the Crown Prince's message to the coachman outside. Seeing that there were no carriages at the entrance of Prince Heshuo's residence, they ran past Yinti's residence, intending to make another round.

"Your Highness, we're almost at Prince Yi's residence. He lives so close to Prince Heshuo, he should be the first person there, right?" Abao said.

“My third brother is weak-willed and actually quite dim-witted. Ah Bao, you think carefully about how to get him to be my pawn,” the Crown Prince said.

“This servant is foolish. This servant thinks Prince Yi is also a slippery fellow. He has never done anything out of line all these years,” Abao said.

"Serving Father Emperor with poetry and prose is a testament to his own abilities. However, my dear third brother has a flaw: he loves to gossip, just like his good wife," the Crown Prince said.

“Your Highness, this servant thinks it’s very important to let Prince Yi know about this matter subtly, otherwise he will definitely think there are ulterior motives and may not be willing to come forward to testify!” A Bao said.

“That’s right. I’m thinking about how to let him know. It has to be very casual, and very unintentional. I don’t want him to have any suspicions,” the Crown Prince said.

“This servant thinks that women love to gossip. It would be good if the Third Princess Consort found out by accident,” A Bao said.

"You're thinking the same thing as me. Consort Dong'e, have someone thoroughly investigate her preferences," the Crown Prince said.

“Yes,” Abao replied.

The Crown Prince's carriage circled Prince Yi's residence once more. Seeing that Prince Yi's carriage had already left the residence, the Crown Prince quietly followed behind him towards Prince Heshuo's residence.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Prince had already left the manor in his own carriage. He didn't like attending such gatherings, but since the Prince of Heshuo had directly invited him, and the Crown Prince was also going, he had no choice but to go.

“My lord, the concubine instructed me not to let you drink too much,” Su Peisheng said from the side.

"Are you the servant of the concubine or the servant of the master?" the Fourth Prince scolded, but there was no hint of reproach in his tone.

"This servant is naturally the master's servant, but I dare not disobey the concubine's words," Su Peisheng said obsequiously.

"Among the batch of jewelry sent by the Imperial Household Department this time, were all the purple jade pieces given to the concubine?" the Fourth Prince asked.

“It was delivered yesterday. Your Highness, the concubine took a few extra glances at that violet jewelry set,” Su Peisheng said.

"Yes, she's never liked wearing gold and silver; she only likes jade. If there are any more of those in the future, send them to the South Courtyard. Just send some gold and silver to the other courtyards," Fourth Master said, showing favoritism.

"Yes, Consort Lanqin really likes jade. I've never seen her wear any expensive gold or silver." Su Peisheng said with a smile, naturally pleased to see the Fourth Prince's doting on Lanqin.

"We're almost there. Find an excuse to get me to come out early. Today is Hongli and Hongzhou's half-year birthday, and I promised my concubine I'd go back early," the Fourth Prince said.

"Yes, this servant understands," Su Peisheng replied.

When the Fourth Prince's carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince of Heshuo, there were already three carriages parked there. Upon closer inspection, they were identified as the carriages of the Crown Prince, Prince Yi, and the Eighth Prince.

"Fourth brother, you've finally arrived. Please come in!" Yinti stood at the door and bowed to the fourth master.

"Has the Crown Prince and the others arrived?" Fourth Prince asked subconsciously.

"The Crown Prince, Third Brother, and Eighth Brother have already gone in and are waiting for you! Please come in." Yinti walked down the steps and came forward to greet them.
