The morning temperature was pleasant. Qingyan was covered with a silk quilt. After getting up, Yin kissed her little face and went out to pay his respects to Kangxi.

"No need to wake your mistress, let her sleep until she wakes up naturally!" Yin had Su Peisheng help her put on her everyday clothes.

He glanced at the dining table. The simple breakfast made him smile. His elder brother had also put in a lot of effort. The imperial chefs who sent the food didn't care about these things and still cooked according to the palace's customs. The food they prepared was insufficient, so they could only make some delicious side dishes.

He used a little bit and couldn't help but feel that there was nothing there, yet he dared to use it recklessly.

The passionate night left Yin in a good mood. Looking at the few dishes on the table, he smiled. The imperial chef was not as clever as Qingyan.

"Go and deliver the fish to the First Prince's private kitchen!" After saying this, Yin turned his head and glanced at the inner cabin, hoping that the fishing net hanging above the window would hold up well.

Su Peisheng was somewhat troubled, as these were prepared for Qingyan's use tomorrow.

"Go deliver it, I'll take care of it!" Yin saw through Su Peisheng's thoughts, smiled faintly, and told Su Peisheng to prepare it.

Yin refused outright, not wanting to be ridiculed in public. Many court officials followed, and Kangxi continued his work as usual, ensuring that his meals on the imperial boat were never missed.

Later that evening, Qingyan collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. She pulled the covers over herself, her body aching all over, and angrily slammed her pillow down.

Afterwards, she simply let it slide, and Yin secretly cleaned her up and changed her into new undergarments, ensuring she wasn't embarrassed.

Hearing Qingyan's commotion at the door, Sulan quickly led a third-class palace maid in to serve her. After washing up, Qingyan sat down at the dining table, quickly ate her breakfast, and then pulled out the fishing net. The contents of the net were quite good, with more items than yesterday.

"Master, the master has prepared everything. You can consider using these for your meals!" Su Lan said softly.

After he finished speaking, Qingyan frowned. Yin Dao was so generous, yet he gave away quite a few of the things he had prepared.

She pursed her lips and looked at the contents of the net. Most of them were eels, but there were two or three catfish and six palm-sized crucian carp.

"Alright, let's clean these six fish in a bit and stew them tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll use the fish broth as a base for hot and sour fish noodles." Qingyan felt a bit conflicted; all that could be served were some local snacks.

"Yes." Qingyan had prepared more than a dozen delicious cold dishes in advance, most of which were made with dried ingredients.

After having breakfast, she lay on the soft couch, rubbing her temples. Her whole body felt weak; it seemed she was really getting old, her body was somewhat frail.

Holding a storybook in one hand, she leaned to the side, looking out the window. The cabin window was half open, and from Qingyan's position, she could see right outside.

As noon approached, Yin managed to escape from the imperial boat and sent his small boat close to his ship. Su Lan, who was waiting at the door, saw this and was about to go in to tell Qing Yan to come out and greet him.

"Sulan, don't make a fuss." Su Peisheng, who had arrived first, quickly stopped them.

Su Lan looked at Yin with some unease. Her master had not yet woken up. If her master did not return, lunch would have to be postponed.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Yin looked at Su Lan and knew that the little one must not be awake yet.

"My lord, I ate, but I fell asleep again not long after breakfast!" Su Lan reported.

Yin walked lightly, afraid of waking Qingyan. Last night, he ignored Qingyan's pleas and insisted on exercising until he felt comfortable. This morning, he wasn't by her side, so the little one must be feeling uncomfortable.

He sat down beside Qingyan, gently took the storybook from her hand, placed it aside, took off his everyday clothes, leaving only his undergarments, leaned against the outside of the soft couch, and pulled her into his arms.

Yesterday, he only slept for an hour before going to the imperial ship. As soon as he entered, he heard Kangxi say that they had been unable to dock for the past few days, not only because these places could not afford their purchases, but more importantly, because they were still within the encirclement and should try to stay away from the shore and move forward at full speed.

As the sunlight slowly faded, Qingyan opened her eyes and saw Yin sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. She rolled over and lay on his chest, reaching out her little right hand to touch his nose.

pig!

At this moment, Yin had already been woken up by her, but he didn't say a word. It was good for the little guy to vent his resentment.

"They actually gave away all the fish I finally got, humph!" Qingyan muttered to herself.

Her little mouth pouted; she was annoyed.

The situation is not good now. There are more and more guards around, and even the food ingredients are prepared by ourselves, without any outsiders.

The food Qingyan purchased from the county town had to be tasted by two layers of servants before it could be given to the masters.

She looked at Yin's calm face, bent down and kissed his cheek. The icy Si Si was gone; in front of her, he was like a towering tree, able to shield her from all disasters.

"Little darling, you're restless!" Yin opened his eyes instantly, flipped over and pinned Qingyan beneath him. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise, her pink lips constantly tempting him.

He gave her a deep kiss and held her tightly in his arms.

"Sisi, you actually gave my things away!" She stretched out her slender finger and poked his chest, making him realize his mistake and determined not to repeat it!

Yin held her small hand and kissed her fingertips.

He informed Qingyan of the current situation, that disasters were lurking in the surrounding counties, and that even the food ingredients they ate could not be guaranteed to be safe, all of which gave Yin a headache.

"Little darling, hang in there for two more days, and we'll be able to get through this really." Yin coaxed Qingyan in a low voice.

These past two days, Emperor Kangxi has allowed Lady Yin Genjue Luo and Qing Yan to skip paying their respects. Yin was relieved, but worried that Xiao Guai might say something inappropriate if she was in a bad mood.

On the imperial boat, many court officials were summoned by Kangxi one after another. Inappropriate remarks at the banquet might attract the attention of the censors, and Kangxi probably did not want any bad rumors to circulate about the royal family.

"Really?" Qingyan was stunned. Kangxi didn't even guarantee these things?

"Originally, Father Emperor's supplies were purchased locally. But since we left the capital, we've often encountered problems and dare not purchase locally anymore. In the end, we have to have them transported from the capital," Yin explained. Yin and he had discussed the temporary difficulties with the wives on their way back. In terms of managing the household, the two of them were really not as good as the wives!

OMG!

Qingyan covered her mouth. How unlucky!

I finally managed to get out of town, and then this happened.

"Cao Yin will make all the arrangements after we arrive in Jiangnan." Yin disliked Cao Yin, but didn't know Kangxi trusted him. As sons, they couldn't say anything even if they disapproved.
