His son was taller, stronger, and younger than him.

He was acutely aware that he was getting older...

Emperor Kangxi's complex emotions were unknown to Yinzhi, who was also too lazy to inquire.

He despised everything about the royal family with an equal sense of disgust!

Including those younger brothers!

He genuinely hoped that the crown prince could ascend the throne, so that his younger brothers wouldn't suffer such tragic ends.

Compared to the other two, he seems to be doing quite well.

After all, the fourth brother is the truly ruthless one.

But is there a difference between a caged bird and a turtle in a jar?

Following the news of Yinzhi and Shirley leaving the palace, Emperor Kangxi appointed Yinzhi as the head of the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade.

According to news from the Qianqing Palace, the Emperor himself praised: "The eldest son, Yinzhi, is of noble character and extremely filial. He is my good son!"

The emperor and the imperial harem were completely dumbfounded!

When Yinzhi returned to the manor, he saw Zhaozhao stumbling and running towards him.

Behind them was Xixi, who was sitting in a car.

The two little girls looked at him with pure, beautiful eyes.

Yinzhi's body squatted down faster than his mind could process it.

Then, one girl was tucked under her armpit, and the two little girls' innocent laughter rang out for a long time.

Sherry wore a gentle smile, but was wary inside.

"Master, the Bobo Chicken is ready!" Hongyu stepped forward.

Sherry nodded slightly: "Have they started eating solid foods yet? What about the twins?"

"Both the eldest and second princesses have started on complementary foods and are eating very well and with great relish. The little ones have also been fed milk and are already asleep."

Zijuan replied as well.

"Get ready!" Sherry said, looking at the figure in front of her.

It was rare for Yinzhi to have a conversation with the two young maids, even though they were talking at cross purposes.

After tidying up, Sherry sat down at the dining table.

Yinzhi glanced at her, then ordered someone to take the children away.

Shirley didn't stop them and let Zijuan take them downstairs to eat their complementary food.

After everyone left, Yinzhi gave her a serious look.

"The children are well-raised, lively, healthy, clever, and adorable! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"That's how they were originally!" Sherry served him a bowl of soup, thinking to herself—"This king..."

Yinzhi looked at her with a probing gaze, but after a long while, he swallowed his words.

Sherry will pretend she didn't see it!

“You’re not quite the same as before,” Yinzhi said, staring intently at her after dinner.

"What a coincidence, you are too!" Sherry leaned back on the tatami in a languid, feigned sleep.

"Heh, so it's only because of Your Highness that I have the honor of seeing this side of the Princess Consort?!" Yinzhi simply sat down next to her.

Sherry looked him up and down without saying a word.

Yinzhi strangely understood that look in his eyes.

“But sometimes I feel that you are not her!” Yinzhi said in a low voice, and even brought his lips close to hers.

Sherry stepped back slightly, but her eyes remained fixed on his eyes before moving to his full lips.

"And where did you come from? If you're not going to explain, then go back where you came from!" Shirley's expression was calm and her tone gentle, but her words made Yinzhi's face change.

"Heh!" Yinzhi chuckled, touching his nose, and suddenly pulled Xue Li into his arms.

Unlike puppies, which are very strong, puppies move as gently as possible.

As if afraid she would run away, Yinzhi held her tightly in his arms.

"Please don't do this, okay? Sitting in your lap, I feel like I'm being forced to have an affair!"

Sherry, feeling a bit uncomfortable, adjusted her posture and continued to be sarcastic.

"Heh, wouldn't that be even better?! The two of us brothers serving you alone?" Yinzhi's tone was ambiguous, neither smiling nor laughing.

"Brother?! Are you sure? This wandering ghost would better know his place, otherwise, this princess won't mind sending you away!"

Sherry still wants to confirm!

After all, it's a bit surreal for a cute puppy to turn into a madman!

If it really is that Yinzhi who was imprisoned for half his life...

"Fujin, you have broken my heart. You recognized me the first time we met, so why did you hurt me like this?" A hint of grievance flashed quickly in Yinzhi's eyes.

"This princess only loves my Yinzhi and the children." Just as Shirley was about to get down, the person beneath her tightly gripped her waist.

"Guo'er! Heh~ It's alright, just consider it as the two of us brothers serving you, okay?" Yinzhi narrowed his eyes and laughed wildly.

"Alright, I don't mind! What should I call you? Baoqing or... Uncle?"

Sherry spoke these words with a breath as sweet as orchids, her eyes showing an unusual keen interest.

This is the true demon!

Yinzhi was somewhat surprised by Xue Li's reaction, and after a moment of stunned silence, he laughed unrestrainedly.

"Oh? Then, Your Highness, you should call Guo'er sister-in-law?" As soon as Yinzhi finished speaking, his eyes and demeanor changed completely.

As if he had spotted fleeing prey, he strolled around leisurely as if taking a leisurely walk...

Yinzhi suddenly kissed her aggressively, his movements rough and impatient, and he kept calling out "sister-in-law" repeatedly in Xue Li's ear.

In an instant, Shirley felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her back was covered in goosebumps.

Her whole body was limp as the other person held her hands behind her back with one hand, and her chest involuntarily rose up.

Sitting on Yinzhi's lap, she had her chin pinched and was at his mercy.

The indoor temperature rose, and the air became hot and dry...

The puppy returned the next day.

He went to court as usual, checked in, and then arranged for someone to send the twins to Yanxi Palace.

Then Yinzhi took Xue Li and his two daughters to the estate to escape the summer heat!

After having a frank and open conversation with Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhi was completely free of worries.

The couple spent their time in the village, either swimming in the Fu River or playing with their two daughters.

The family didn't return until the third son got married.

Perhaps because of the twins, Consort Hui was in good spirits.

She had previously intentionally kept Xue Li at arm's length, and now she looked at Yinzhi with a detached expression.

Instead, he awkwardly tried to have a conversation with Sherry.

Sherry felt awkward and stayed for a while before leaving, making an excuse to check on her third brother's wedding preparations.

Upon exiting Yanxi Palace, the two of them simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief.

The twins were initially somewhat resistant to them.

By nightfall, they were already reluctant to leave.

Soon it was Yinzhi's wedding day. His wife was a princess from the Dong'e clan, and her most striking feature was her beauty!

I must say, standing together, they really do have the charm of a talented man and a beautiful woman.

After his wedding, Yinzhi quickly entered the imperial court and was highly regarded by Emperor Kangxi.

Sherry and Prince Yinzhi watched coldly from the sidelines.

Kangxi then discovered that he was familiar with raising Yinzhi to fight with the Crown Prince.

Unlike Yin Zhi, who was not good with words, Yin Zhi used subtle tactics to pierce the Crown Prince's heart.

The Crown Prince was so angry that he jumped up and down many times, and he felt more than once that Yinzhi, this military man, was more lovable.

Even faster was the Dolon Nor alliance between the Qing Dynasty and the Mongols.

Emperor Kangxi led princes, beile, and ministers to Duolunnuoer (present-day Duolun, Inner Mongolia) to hold an alliance meeting with Inner and Outer Mongolia.

This event established borders, enacted laws, and created leagues and banners for the Khalkha Mongol tribes in Outer Mongolia, bringing them under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. This achieved unprecedented unification in the north and even the northwest, and resolved the Mongol issue.
