At the naval port, colorful flags fluttered in the breeze. Fei Yanggu and E Shuo stood on the dock, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their ships. Their distinguished achievements on this expedition had even earned them an imperial edict of commendation from the Kangxi Emperor in the capital.
Many generals were selected to go on the expedition, and those people generally received some rewards, which made many people who did not go on the expedition feel envious.
"Fourth Brother, Father is actually here at the naval port to greet us!" Qingyan stood on the deck, looking at Fei Yanggu and E Shuo's figures, and quickly waved her small handkerchief.
Yinzhen smiled. Fei Yanggu had sent several secret memorials to Kangxi, repeatedly inquiring about their itinerary. Kangxi was quite annoyed by the constant questioning, so Prime Minister Suo directly told him when the group would return.
"Little darling, go to the flower hall first and go down with your sister-in-law!" Yinti and Yinzhen had to go down with the soldiers.
Qingyan nodded, not wanting to cause trouble for Yinzhen.
Through the telescope, she saw that besides Fei Yanggu and E Shuo, there were also some ministers waiting on the dock of the military port. If she went down directly, those ministers would definitely have some thoughts.
In the flower hall, Lady Yin Genjue Luo was holding a cup of black tea and sipping it; the taste was quite good.
"Sister-in-law, how can you sit here so comfortably?" Shu Yun was a little confused. Instead of watching the child, Yin Genjue Luo Shi was leisurely enjoying her tea.
"Hehe, what can we do if we can't sit here comfortably? All those ministers below are here for us. If Yinti and Yinzhen dare to keep us here, we'll definitely have a hard time." Yin Genjueluo had her own ideas.
Even if Yinti and Yinzhen had some ability, they couldn't leave their wives to handle things. Military campaigns were matters for the outer court, and women couldn't participate.
Firecrackers went off at the dock, and Qingyan felt uneasy listening to them.
"Little darling, do you know why those people came here?" A cold smile appeared on Yin Genjue Luo's lips.
Qingyan probably didn't understand why these people had received the news. Originally, Kangxi had only notified Feiyanggu and Eshuo to come and greet them. Now, more than a dozen ministers were arriving one after another, as if all the ministers on duty here had come.
"I don't know, sister-in-law. Did someone deliberately notify them?" Qingyan asked.
"Of course, besides the people behind those princes, there are probably also people from the Tong family!" Madam Yin Genjue was still very happy to see that her family had sent people to make things difficult for her.
Emperor Kangxi revealed a bait, and Yinti and Yinzhen discussed it in Kangxi's study for half an hour before coming up with this plan.
Inside the naval port, there are many children from aristocratic families. They are basically just numbers, and some have even been abandoned by their families. Now, these children are being used by their families.
"Really?" Qingyan was puzzled. Did those people really dare to do such a thing? "Sister-in-law, judging from their appearance, they don't seem very capable?"
Qingyan held a telescope and observed the people standing on the dock, carefully watching their every glance. He had to admit that these people had all done a good job of concealing the scheming in their eyes.
"Of course, these people are the first batch of cannon fodder. How much power do they have in the navy? Little darling, we got quite a few spoils of war from this expedition. Do you think those people in the capital can sit still?" Yin Genjue Luo pondered Yin Ti's words and felt a little emotional. Those people probably hoped that Yin Ti and Yin Zhen would make mistakes so that they could take control of the navy.
Now, the navy no longer needs designed training courses; under the tutelage of Yinqi and Yinzhen, its capabilities rival those of the new army. Many illegitimate sons of prominent families are beginning to shine, while the legitimate sons, protected like precious jewels by their families, are naturally not getting married.
"Hehe, these competitions have nothing to do with us!" Qingyan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Sister-in-law, we need to pay attention to the people around Brother and Fourth Brother. If they want to find something to hold against us, it's nothing more than gold, silver, and women."
Emperor Kangxi strictly forbade Yinti and Yinzhen from finding women here. Therefore, Yinzhen was always very filial, fearing that he would be plotted against.
Yin Genjue Luo nodded. Qing Yan was right. They were on high alert and determined not to let Yin Ti and Yin Zhen make any mistakes.
“There aren’t many women in the naval port, and none of the places where those people live are close to us. Again, it seems someone deliberately puts women next to them… Wait, little darling, do you think the Crown Prince will generously give away women?” There are reasons why Lady Yin Genjue Luo dislikes Yinreng.
For a time, Yinti and Lady Yingenjueluo did not get along well. The culprit was a woman sent by the Crown Prince who had been sowing discord between Yinti and the Crown Prince for a long time.
"Hmph, if the Crown Prince dares to send women, I wouldn't mind having Father go and speak to the Emperor!" Qingyan wasn't a big deal and always felt it wasn't right to let Fei Yanggu handle it, but to avoid upsetting himself, he decided that it would be better for Fei Yanggu to go out and deal with it.
Furthermore, given the positions of the two Ahhun, if Feiyangu were a little confused, it would be a good thing.
"Huh?!" Yin Genjue Luo looked at Qing Yan in confusion, wondering how she could even voice such a thought.
“Sister-in-law, the greater the power, the more people will be suspicious. If Father does two harmless foolish things, no one should pursue the matter, and the higher-ups will definitely feel more at ease!” Qingyan’s words completely enlightened Yingenjueluo.
Snap!
Yin Genjue Luo clapped her hands together, feeling it necessary to write to her father to complain.
“My father loves me very much, so it’s okay for him to complain to His Majesty, right?” Yin Genjue Luo Shi said in a little secret.
Qingyan nodded. Yingenjueluo was definitely a smart woman; she understood immediately after a little guidance. Before leaving, Feiyanggu had specifically told Qingyan that he must give Yingenjueluo some pointers on the way back.
"Sister-in-law, there's no time to lose. Once you get back, write a letter back to the capital immediately!" Fei Yanggu will soon be writing a secret memorial. If Yingenjueluo can get Father to submit his secret memorial one after the other, the matter will be almost certain.
"Little darling, don't worry. My letter has arrived in the capital, and Father will submit it to the emperor the very next day," said Lady Yingenjueluo to reassure Qingyan.
“Great! Father is definitely not the only one who does this. With Uncle Yin Genjue Luo by his side, he shouldn’t be punished!” Qingyan replied with a smile.
While the two were talking, Su Peisheng stood by the door, listening to what the Fujin said. He felt sorry for his master. This time, even the eldest Fujin had sided with the Fujin. It seemed that the two masters would definitely have a hard time.
"Madam, His Majesty requests that you and the Princess Consort of Prince Zhi leave immediately!" Su Peisheng, seeing the two talking so animatedly, dared not say more. As soon as the two stopped talking, he quickly urged them to leave.
"Alright, sister-in-law, let's go downstairs quickly," Qingyan said directly.
