After lunch, Qingyan sat in the study with a book in his hand, staring blankly into space. Outside the window, Yinzheng was listening to Erlu report on Kangxi's secret decree. They had been in Yangzhou for several days and had hardly gone out.

Two days ago, when Granny Lin suddenly tried to persuade Qingyan about the matter, Yin noticed something was wrong and immediately sent her back to Kangxi's side. Their lives gradually became peaceful again.

“Master,” Su Lan stood beside her, looking at Qing Yan with a hint of hesitation, “Master said that you should change into your clothes for going out, and that you will be going to the night market later.”

Qingyan put down the Buddhist scripture in her hand, her eyes slightly probing.

"Go out?!" Qingyan tilted her head. Sulan brought Erlu's secret decree. "His Majesty intends for His Highness to stay in Yangzhou and wait for the imperial carriage to pass through Yangzhou before proceeding together."

Qingyan sighed. She knew that when Granny Lin went back, she would definitely not say anything good about her.

"Little darling, we'll have dinner at the night market." Yin walked in from outside. She was still sitting in the chair, looking dazed, not ready to go out.

Yin waited for Xiao Guai to change her clothes, but his expression remained tense, and his mind was in turmoil.

"Fourth Brother, we're going out again!" Qingyan, having changed her clothes, swaggered around. "How many more days are we going to stay?"

"Sweetie, we won't go out by carriage." Yin pinched her little cheek. "We'll walk!"

Qingyan exclaimed "Ah!" and followed Yin out.

As evening approached, the shops on the street were still open, and the shop owners were cautiously serving their customers. Customers who were well-dressed were especially invited to private rooms, and their smiles became particularly ingratiating.

"Little darling, let's go check out the restaurant," Yin whispered to Qingyan.

“Sure!” Qingyan nodded. “I’ll take a look at the shops around here. If I want to open a medicinal cuisine restaurant when I get back, that would be the best place.”

As soon as the two entered the shop, she noticed that it was different from the capital. These restaurants were mostly built around bridges. When she opened the window of the private room, there was a small stream outside, and some had bustling street scenes, which were very characteristic of Jiangnan.

If there were such a place in the capital, the court officials would have a place to gather for meals.

Yuelai Inn hasn't done enough in this regard and needs to make some changes.

"Sisi, don't you think this feels more like home, more relaxing?" Qingyan felt it was easier to relax here. In the officialdom, there was always intrigue and backstabbing, and even at home, they had to maintain a calm demeanor. They needed a place where they could let loose.

"Um!"

Qingyan noticed that Yin's mood had soured again, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. What was wrong with him this time?

With a wave of his hand, Su Peisheng and the others went outside.

"Little Darling, once you've finished renovating the restaurant, don't interfere anymore!" The restaurant is a clandestine operation, so it's most appropriate for him to step in.

He was easier to talk to than Qingyan in front of the Crown Prince. Recently, the Crown Prince's spies kept saying that the Crown Prince's attitude towards Qingyan had changed, which caught him off guard.

"Not intervening?!"

"right!"

Yin didn't want to admit he was jealous, but he had to admit that the Crown Prince's methods were despicable.

The Crown Prince?!

This thought was revealed in her watery eyes. In front of outsiders, Kangxi's doting on the Crown Prince was as unparalleled as ever, and none of the other princes could compare.

"Fourth Sister, I understand!" She didn't want Ulanara to get involved in this matter; that small restaurant was something she had given back to the family.

Those places are basically frequented by distinguished guests. Even if Fei Yanggu and his two sons lose their status, as long as they have this small restaurant, they can maintain the royal family's trust.

"Father Emperor's tacit acceptance of the existence of that small restaurant is merely a promise to you. He needs more sources of information. In addition to news from the north and south, the most important thing is the gossip among the court officials. After the Shadow Guard was discovered by everyone, Kangxi mentioned it quite a bit."

She took a sip of tea from her cup, and it tasted excellent.

Clang!

A loud bang came from outside. Qingyan stood up immediately. Was there someone causing trouble at the restaurant?

“Su Peisheng…” Yin frowned. They had only been out for a short time when they encountered a problem.

He never believed in coincidences; these things must have been done deliberately.

She followed her out and saw a woman dressed in a light blue Hanfu, her eyes filled with tears, asking Si Si for help.

"Sulan, you and Su Peisheng handle this well." Qingyan had a headache. Couldn't the officials in Jiangnan use another method?

Yin took Xiao Guai's hand and asked her to stop for a moment.

"Watching a show here. We haven't been out for several days. It must have taken a lot of effort to find us so quickly. Don't you want to see who's causing trouble behind the scenes?" Yin smiled mysteriously.

These people really don't mind making things bigger. Yin had already arranged for all sorts of spies to be hidden in Yangzhou. No matter who it was, he would know everything if they made any moves behind the scenes.

Pfft!

Watch the show!

Qingyan understood that Yin insisted on coming out only to relieve her boredom.

"Alright!" A cap fell over Yin's head, obscuring his handsome face.

At this moment, many people were standing on the stairs to the private room, all looking in this direction.

Qingyan's appearance caught many people's attention; Yin's aura was undeniable, and they quickly averted their unrestrained gazes.

"My lord, I only wish to live a peaceful life!" Erlu stood at the front, while the guards shielded Yin and Qingyan on the inside, just to prevent anyone from causing trouble behind their backs.

Erlu coldly looked at the woman in front of him. This woman's temperament was somewhat similar to Qingyan's, but her appearance was even better.

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, her heart ached even more.

Is this karma?!

Just a few days ago, she made a move against Si'er, and now, her life is being plotted against too.

"It must have been chosen by Si'er!" Si'er has been able to control Longke for many years; he is by no means a kind person.

Recently, the people from the Sticky Rod Office reported that the Fourth Prince's family members have appeared here. Since Yin's status is noble, even if he really gets entangled with a woman from the Qinhuai River, Kangxi will not order anyone to attack him. He will probably change the woman's status.

What?!

Qingyan was speechless; such a strong desire for revenge.

"Master, this woman is from that kind of place. She probably still has her indenture with the Tong family!" Lin Mama was sent to Consort Tong's side, and the Tong family was unable to get any news from the Fourth Prince's side.

If Si'er offers a plan at this moment, those people will definitely be very happy and will not say anything out of turn.

"Heh heh!" Qingyan sneered, feeling it was a bit embarrassing to argue with a concubine.

She won't back down if someone bullies her.

“Eru, it seems she has feelings for you!” Qing Yande smiled, this woman didn’t even remember Yin’s portrait.

Erlu deliberately wore a robe of a similar color to Yin's, hoping to deceive the eye. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
