During their days off, Yin and Qingyan rarely went out, instead staying in their villa and living a limited life.

Bathed in sunlight, Qingyan leaned lazily against the recliner.

(I will update some more on the bus, and it will be finished by noon tomorrow. I will resume normal updates tomorrow.)

During their few days of rest, the five members of the Yin family were enjoying their leisurely time, but things were not so peaceful in Yin Si's courtyard.

When Yinsi's drugging of the women was exposed, Consort Tong summoned Consort Liang to Chengqian Palace and gave her a severe scolding, letting Yinsi know what the bottom line of the royal family was.

"Mother, I've dragged you down with me!" After entering the palace, Yin Si felt very sad when he saw Consort Liang's aged appearance. He felt that his momentary loss of composure had caused his mother to suffer such injustice.

"Alright, Eighth Prince, don't feel guilty. Your mother is fine!" Consort Liang comforted Yinsi.

“Mother, I want the primary consort to give birth to the child, so that I will have the leverage to fight for it,” Yinsi said directly.

Guo Luoluo left a deep impression on Consort Liang. Even though Guo Luoluo was no longer her daughter-in-law, she still wanted to cause her trouble.

"Eighth Prince, you need to be more tactful in handling things!" Consort Liang began to teach Yin Si again.

From childhood, Yinsi had a belief that he must make something of himself so that his mother would no longer suffer.

"Mother, why do I feel that changing my consort has restricted my development so much?" Yin Si looked at Consort Liang with some confusion.

Consort Liang sighed, "Since entering the palace, he decided to replace the favored concubine. He seems gentle, but in reality, he is a very cold-hearted person. Otherwise, such a problem would not have occurred."

“Eighth Prince, I know you’re upset. After all, Lady Guoluo was your former consort, so it would be right for you to help her,” Consort Liang said. “However, you should consider whether Lady Guoluo needs your help. Her current status is much higher than yours!”

Consort Liang was furious at the utterly worthless words spoken by Guo Luoluo clan's Yinsi, for her own son should be the most outstanding.

Both inside and outside the palace, countless eyes were fixed on Yin Si as he entered the palace to pay his respects.

In less than an hour, Yin obtained the entire content of Yinsi's conversation with Consort Liang. Looking at the conversation, Yin smiled bitterly. It seemed that Yinsi had realized the seriousness of the problem.

After Guo Luoluo married into the Mongolian tribe, many people watched Yin Si with amusement. Although the Jue Luo clan was betrothed by Emperor Kangxi, they did not receive the approval of the imperial clan. In addition, both Yin Si and the Jue Luo clan liked to hold banquets at their residence. Of course, most of the people who went there had vested interests in the matter; otherwise, they would not have gone at all.

“Little darling, look at how narcissistic Lao Ba is!” Qingyan said directly.

As Yin looked at Consort Liang's explanation, he had a guess in his mind: why did Consort Liang give birth to Yin Si?

"Isn't this going a bit too far?" Qingyan looked at the proposed solution written by Yinshu, which was definitely going to cause trouble for the Jueluo clan. Of course, Yinsi wouldn't care, as he was a prince and his subordinates wouldn't dare to have too much involvement with him for the time being.

"No, Yinsi is the kind of person who won't give up until he hits a wall. Even if he does, he probably won't come back." Yin pulled Qingyan into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and talked to her about the Eighth Prince.

A few days ago, Yin received news that Yinsi wanted to get his hands on the Ministry of War, with his specific target being the Tianjin naval port.

"Fourth Brother, is there a mistake here? Why does it mention the Tianjin naval port?" Qingyan felt somewhat helpless.

Yin shook his head, still pondering whether he should notify the commander in Tianjin. He couldn't let Yin Si succeed. Yin Si was clearly Yin Zhi's pawn. If he succeeded in attacking Tianjin, Yin Zhi wouldn't be interested in the military ports of Guangdong and Guangxi. Those places were too far from Jing Chen, so he probably wouldn't choose them.

"Little darling, tell me, which is the closest military port to the capital?" Yin propped his head up and looked at the spot he had given Qingyan first.

Qingyan was slightly taken aback: "Did you mention naval ports outside of Tianjin? Was this just a normal conversation?"

Yin had his men investigate and found that several individuals had taken action against the navy, so although the task of training the navy was very heavy, they were able to do so.

“Little darling, I think this news is true. Yinzhi attaches great importance to the navy. Look, Dong Eshi sent her own younger brother to participate in the selection of our naval port. If possible, Dong Eshi will be completely buried.” Yinzhi sneered.

"The 'water army'," Qingyan said helplessly. "Fourth, I have a feeling something's not right. Are these people specifically targeting the water army? They don't know anything about the water army's various missions. They've just entered the camp and are wandering around like this."

"Little darling, have you made any plans with Guo Luoluo lately?" Yin asked directly.

Qingyan nodded: "Of course, you don't need to blame yourself too much. It's very different from the south."

His gestures revealed his good upbringing, and he handled things in an orderly manner, which even the others wanted to emulate.

“The Spring Festival is very lively in the south,” Yin said with great emotion. “It’s a completely different style in the north.”

Qingyan had no choice but to refrain from issuing orders to both Guangdong and Guangxi to hide, as they absolutely could not let the Guoluo clan go to Mongolia.

Recently, things have been quite chaotic in Mongolia. The Left Prince is a good person and knows the responsibilities on his shoulders, so he rarely jokes.

The events of the past few days, with Lao Ba's constant provocations, have forced Yin Yi to endure them with great patience.

"It's Chinese New Year now, I absolutely can't get angry!" Yin kept telling himself, but as he read Yin Si's memorial, his face actually turned angry.

"Father, I want to stay with Mother!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen took on the task of taking care of her younger brother.

As time goes by, I'm getting busier and busier, and I can't even find time to take a vacation during the Chinese New Year.

"Good!" Yin patted Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen's head. "If you wear this and walk around for a while, you'll sweat."

"We can't just stay home all day, can we? What do you guys think we should do?" Qingyan and Ye felt that if they didn't make a plan, they would definitely be delayed again.

“It’s good to rest for a whole day,” Yin replied.

"In front of Kangxi, Yinsi dared not reveal his ambition at all, and could only wait silently. If someone could remember the Crown Prince, he would immediately use all that power for himself." Yinsi had already investigated and found out.

"Fourth Prince, does Father Emperor know about Eighth Prince's actions?" Qingyan was puzzled. If Kangxi knew, why didn't he stop him?

"I know, these aren't big problems. Even if there are to be punishments, in the end, it will only be a minor one as a warning," Yin said helplessly.

Qingyan sneered. Yinsi must have wasted a lot of money to make amends to have been able to do that.
