The second day of the Lunar New Year is traditionally the day for brides to return to their parents' home. However, today was quite different. Many brides' families held their gatherings at the Yuelai Inn, where a lucky draw prepared by Qingyan attracted a lot of people.

People aren't here for the lucky draw during the Lunar New Year; many are waiting for the final winner to be announced.

Inside the private room, Kangxi and Fei Yanggu sat side by side, while Consort Tong looked curiously at the center of the table, where someone was already standing.

"Greetings to Father Emperor and Mother Emperor!" Qingyan quickly bowed, but Kangxi waved his hand dismissively.

"Little darling, this lottery is quite novel!" Qingyan has attracted a lot of business. When he and Fei Yanggu arrived, the private rooms were basically all booked. Many people had heard that Kangxi was coming and rushed over from home.

As Qingyan watched the increasingly bustling streets outside, the hidden guards blocked the way, leaving the officials with no choice but to sigh longingly at the restaurant.

"Fourth Prince, can your safety be guaranteed?" Consort Tong's biggest concern was the safety of Emperor Kangxi.

“Father, there are people blocking both sides of the entrance. There are people from the Yuelai Inn at each of the blocking points. They all know who has actually booked the private room. Both sides need to confirm before you can come in,” Yin said directly.

Qingyan nodded in agreement, and Fei Yanggu and his two sons also sent Ulanara's guards to guard the intersection. When the court officials saw the imperial guards coming, those who arrived late felt uneasy, as if they had missed a chance for promotion.

Kangxi didn't care. Fei Yanggu had been the Commander of the Nine Gates for many years. If he couldn't even handle this little thing, he probably wasn't qualified for the position.

"Lanya, we've come here today to experience some romance!" Kangxi patted Consort Tong's hand, telling her not to worry too much.

Qingyan leaned against the window on the second floor, looking down at the bustling hall below, listening to the people discussing the lottery.

The manager stood on the platform and announced directly to the public: "The manager said that the Spring Festival lucky draw will be held separately from the private rooms. I will only be drawing prizes from the private rooms!"

Instantly, cheers erupted in the lobby. The experienced man smiled, pleased that the free meal and the reward of four hundred taels of silver had made them happy.

"Little darling, that's a good idea!" Emperor Kangxi was also pondering whether to hold such a banquet for the royal family on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Yin appreciated Qingyan's planning, which not only encouraged diners to spend more money, but also gave them a chance to win a prize after spending a certain amount.

At lunchtime, Qingyan had the manager prepare many of his signature dishes. After eating them, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but feel that the royal chefs in the imperial kitchen were really not making enough money.

"My dear, this meal is quite good. From now on, it's fine to send a lunch to the palace every few days!" Emperor Kangxi issued a pass to Qingyan.

"Yes!" Qingyan nodded quickly. "Father, you should eat more too. Many of these are your favorite foods!"

Qingyan served Fei Yanggu some dishes, telling him to eat as much as he could.

After lunch, Emperor Kangxi took Consort Tong to the inner chambers to rest, and Fei Yanggu and his two sons finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Eshuo and Saito were in a particularly difficult position, having to hold back certain questions they couldn't ask.

"Little darling, how are things in the palace?" E'shuo and Saito had both heard about it. Dong'e clan had caused Qingyan a lot of trouble, especially after the Dong'e clan was completely abandoned by the Aixinjueluo clan. They needed to find an outlet for their anger, and unfortunately, Qingyan became that outlet.

Qingyan smiled helplessly, "Ahun, I'm really fine. The Third Princess's tricks are useless against me!"

Qingyan was just saying that; in fact, she understood that the reason she was living such a peaceful life was because of Yin's support. If Yin were not around, she would encounter many more problems.

Downstairs, as the list of winners for the lucky draw was gradually announced, many people were excited. Some of the tables that had been given a free meal started adding dishes, but Qingyan, in a rare good mood, didn't care.

"This works too!" Fei Yanggu frowned as he looked at the family adding food to their plate. Wasn't it said that there wouldn't be people like this?

"Father, it's the Spring Festival, why are you so concerned?" Qingyan waved his hand dismissively. "Our Yuelai Inn is supposed to offer some benefits to our customers."

Upon hearing Qingyan's explanation, Fei Yanggu understood that the Yuelai Inn's great reputation was due to the support of the local people.

Yin sat to the side, watching Qingyan's happy face for two days, not caring that Xiao Guai was a spendthrift.

"Fourth Prince, isn't your son going to do anything about Qingyan's extravagant spending?" Saito looked at Yin, feeling that he should stop Qingyan's madness.

Unexpectedly, Yinhao shook his head indifferently. He didn't care about Xiaoguai's things, and it didn't matter that Xiaoguai had squandered all the silver in the mansion.

"No need."

Yin's words left Saito speechless. Did this guy treat money like dirt?

“That’s the behavior of a gentleman.” Fei Yanggu nodded in satisfaction.

Yin smiled. In front of her father-in-law, she could only win his favor by protecting Qingyan.

“Father, Xiao Guai needs to be disciplined properly. If Mother finds out about these things, do you think Mother will let Xiao Guai off the hook?” Saito was also doing this for Xiao Guai’s own good. Jue Luo Shi had more time than the three of them. If Xiao Guai did something wrong, Jue Luo Shi could use her status as Mother to speak directly to Xiao Guai.

Qingyan glared angrily at Saito, "How could you say something like that?"

"Father, look at Ah Hun, all he does is cause me trouble!" Qingyan cried with a mournful face. Suddenly, a sound of a table being overturned came from outside. Qingyan quickly walked to the window and looked at the scene below.

"Fourth Brother, look at that person down there. Is he someone's servant?" Qingyan asked Yin, pointing at the troublemakers. It has to be said that these people are much more arrogant than ordinary people. They have masters behind them, and the common people definitely can't afford to offend them. For the sake of the family's safety, they have lost some of the benefits they had already gained.

He stood behind Qingyan, watching the servants causing trouble below, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Su Peisheng, go and see who's causing trouble downstairs. Have someone bring them over in a bit!" Yin directly ordered Su Peisheng to handle the matter. Yuelai Inn absolutely cannot have such trouble, otherwise... who would come?

These actions were also meant to show the people in the private rooms that Yuelai Inn was capable of investigating all the masterminds behind the scheme.

A moment later, a drunken servant was brought in, staggering as he walked.

"Who is it!" the person shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Yin coldly stared at him. This man was only around thirty years old, and judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a servant of a prince. At least, there was no such person in Yin's residence.
