The commotion at the Yuanmingyuan was so great that Emperor Kangxi sent Li Dequan to inquire about it. Yinzhi did not say much, only vaguely stating that the letter delivered by the Yuelai Inn had been lost.

Li Dequan smiled and prepared to relay Yin's words to Kangxi. Qingyan came out of the inner chamber and saw his dazed look, feeling a pang of sadness.

Don't the royal father and son have even the most basic trust?

"From now on, I will never doubt Yiken'e like that again!" Yin suddenly opened his eyes and said with some sadness.

Fortunately, the ship was sent to Xiao Guai's mysterious place in advance; otherwise, there would definitely have been a lot of trouble.

“Fourth…” Qingyan sighed, “Perhaps, Father Emperor is merely investigating according to the rules.”

Yin glanced at the grandfather clock in the right corner of the study. It was just past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the night market would open around six.

Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, people in the suburbs of Beijing have been preparing food to sell at the night market.

"Let's change into some ordinary clothes and go for a stroll at the night market as a family of four." Yin planned to go for a walk to clear his head and sell some of the family's surplus food at the night market, which would also bring in some extra income for the family.

Qingyan's eyes lit up. When they were in the new house, Saito had told her that the food sold by the people tasted very good. After all, it was prepared for the New Year, and the ingredients would definitely not be skimped on.

"Sulan, change the children's clothes and cover them with cloaks." Qingyan instructed Sulan. The twins had just woken up. Qingyan picked up the two children from the carriage and kissed them twice on their little faces.

“Mother…” Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen hugged Qingyan’s neck, drooling all over Qingyan’s face.

"Let's wear our nice clothes and go out to see the night market together." Yin rarely took the children out at night on his own initiative.

The two children's eyes lit up instantly. Their father and mother often went out, and they could only watch longingly.

"Get out, get out!" Yiken said, his voice muffled.

"Mother...I want to wear pretty clothes!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen patted Qingyan's shoulder, her little face puffing out as she spoke.

"Sulan, go and get the orchid onesie," Qingyan instructed. "Yike'e, Mother will put it on you."

Qingyan held a royal blue jumpsuit in her hand, embroidered with a hundred blessings pattern in gold thread.

Yiken carefully examined the clothes, then nodded with a serious expression.

After Qingyan discovered that Yikene could recognize colors, he preferred dark colors and, like Yin, dressed in a cool and aloof style.

The little girl prefers bright colors; pink, bright red, and golden yellow are her favorites.

"Alright!" Qingyan helped Yikene change into a De'er onesie and handed him to Yin in the main hall, saying, "Take care of the child!"

When Yin was alive, Qingyan preferred that Yin hold the children rather than allow the servants to get close.

Su Zhu dressed Hu Tuli Fengsheng Zha Lafen, and Xiao Guai sat in front of the bronze mirror, wearing a sapphire blue short jacket and a long cyan skirt. Her hair was styled in a ruyi bun, adorned with a plum blossom tassel hairpin.

"Are you all ready?" Su Lan and Su Zhu were both going along. After serving their master, they quickly changed their clothes. When the mother and daughter walked out of the inner chamber, Yin couldn't help but be impressed. Qing Yan's royal blue clothes contrasted sharply with his daughter's fuchsia jumpsuit, making them a striking sight.

"Fourth Brother, are we even having dinner out?" Qingyan asked, puzzled.

At dinner time, Yin did not have the western kitchen prepare dinner, presumably because he planned to eat out.

"That's right." Yin had already changed into his outdoor clothes. Su Peisheng was waiting at the door. Seeing his master's relaxed expression inside, he felt relieved.

After leaving Changchun Garden, Yinzhi frowned. In addition, the blueprints for his study were missing, and Kangxi had even specially dispatched Li Dequan to give outsiders a signal that something important had been lost from the Fourth Prince's study.

Many court officials, having caught wind of the situation, began to use their informants to find out what had been lost.

"Let's go." Seeing the carriage parked in the courtyard, Yin picked up Yiken'e in each arm and held Xiao Guai's left hand in his right, then walked out the door. Hutulifengshengzhalafen clung tightly to his mother's neck, his little face hidden behind the heavy cloak, his watery eyes surveying the courtyard. Once in the carriage, Qingyan removed the cloaks from both children. Yiken'e, unable to stay still, stumbled around inside the carriage, with Yin following behind.

Yiken'e hadn't walked more than a few steps when she sat down on the ground, her little face scrunched up, as the carriage slowly moved forward.

"Yiken, you're not allowed to run around in the carriage, or you'll definitely fall." Qingyan watched Yin discipline his naughty son, but she didn't say a word more. After all, the way fathers and sons teach each other is completely different from the way mothers and sons teach each other.

"Mmm." Yiken nodded obediently, her chubby little legs already sore from the fall.

Soon, Yikene stretched out its chubby little paws and pounced towards Qingyan.

“Father…” Hutuli Fengsheng Zha Lafende opened his little mouth slightly, looked in Yin’s direction, and stretched out his short little hands for the Fourth Prince to hold.

Yin smiled and took his obedient daughter, then took out a South Sea pearl from his purse and teased the little girl.

Recently, Hutu Rifengsheng Zhalafen has developed a new hobby: he likes round, brightly colored items.

Su Lan and Su Zhu kept reminding the nanny to keep a close eye on the little princess and to quickly snatch the pearl away from her mouth if she tried to put it in.

"Little one, feed the two children their complementary food first. We're eating late, so the children will definitely be hungry," Yin quickly said.

Qingyan took out two bowls of prepared porridge from her spatial storage; she had specially purchased this from the system.

"Fourth Brother, you feed our daughter first!" Qingyan instructed Yin to take care of the child, and he became increasingly adept at it.

Yin wasn't annoyed. He fed the two children spoonful by spoonful. The two children weren't picky eaters. Every time Qingyan took the food out from the mysterious place, they ate it happily.

The rice noodles contain various added vegetables and other ingredients, so they should taste much better than the rice porridge here.

As we walked along, there were more and more pedestrians, many of whom were with their families. The children had happy smiles on their faces; they were the happiest people before the New Year.

"The night market must be very lively, with more people than usual," Qingyan remarked, looking at the pedestrians outside.

"The festival is coming soon, and we've got some extra money. We'll definitely take the kids out for a stroll to reward ourselves for a year of hard work," Yin sighed.

Qingyan has been busy with the affairs of the mansion all year, and he has worked very hard. They still have time to rest, but Xiaoguai, as the principal wife, doesn't even have a day to rest while managing the mansion.

"Children are happiest during the Spring Festival." Qingyan didn't mind that the children's smiles grew even brighter. (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.)
