After lunch, Kangxi took the children to the main courtyard. Yin had a carriage prepared and even Hafeng Adu was brought along. The family sat in the carriage. Qingyan noticed that Yin's brows were furrowed and felt a little strange. Yin was not the kind of person who would bring his emotions into his daily life. What was wrong with him?
"In a couple of days, there will be an exercise at the naval port, and Father Emperor, Mother, and Consort Hui will all be boarding the ship together." Kangxi said this yesterday, and Yinzhi is having a bit of a headache.
Recently, the navy has blockaded the nearby sea areas to prevent anyone from harming Emperor Kangxi.
"Should we go with them?" Qingyan asked curiously.
Just a few days ago, Hutu Lifeng Shengzha Lafen said that he wanted to go sea fishing, and now he has the opportunity so soon.
“Yes, you will be following Mother on the ship.” Yin nodded. “Moreover, Father is here under the pretext of looking after the children, but actually he is here to investigate and see what is happening on the other side of the strait.”
The issues of Hong Kong and Macau will soon be resolved. Yin and Yin suggested that we take back both places, since they are important military locations.
"Sisi, the sooner we take it back, the better it will be for us." Qingyan would never forget the humiliation of that New Year's visit, so she was very happy that everything had changed in front of her.
"Yes, I understand this matter, so you don't need to worry," Yin said, pinching her cheek. "In a while, Father will definitely ask about this. Don't say too much, just mention a few words about business matters!"
Qingyan nodded, indicating that he understood what Yin had said.
In the garden, during the height of spring, Emperor Kangxi sat in the pavilion with Consort Tong and Consort Hui, waiting for the arrival of the two families' children.
"You saw the two children, are they healthy?" When Kangxi heard that Hafenga was born prematurely, his heart sank. It was said that most premature children were not healthy.
"Yes, she's recovered. I have to admit, Qingyan is very good to the child," Consort Tong said with emotion. "The child was a bit weak when she was born, but under Qingyan's care, she has really improved a lot."
Li Dequan walked up to Kangxi and whispered, "The Fourth Prince has come with his wife and children."
At first, Kangxi was worried that Yinzhi might be less likely to have children since he only had one female relative, Qingyan. But now it seems that Yinzhi has definitely turned misfortune into blessing. He was the first among the princes to have a legitimate son, and a pair of twins at that. This is something to be proud of in front of outsiders.
As Yin stepped into the garden, he discovered that there were quite a few guards, both overt and covert, and even members of the Dragon Guard were hidden in the shadows. If something happened in Guangdong and Guangxi, Yin and he would truly be held responsible.
"Come, let me see, is this Hafeng'a?" Kangxi personally picked up Hafeng'a. The little prince looked very much like Qingyan, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"Feiyanggu must be very happy, right?" Kangxi knew Feiyanggu well. If he had a child who resembled Qingyan, this old man would definitely spoil him to the core.
Yin and Qingyan nodded at the same time. Every time Fei Yanggu came over, he would hold Hafeng Adai for a long time, saying that he wanted to cultivate the relationship between the grandfather and grandson.
"Hafeng'a's life still needs to be fulfilled. Let's issue the decree when he turns one year old, so as not to be too conspicuous!" Kangxi also had his own ideas. Both Yin and Yin had made great achievements in the military port. If they were to be accused of having something to hold against them in the matter of their child, the censors would definitely submit memorials.
When the censors were on their southern tour, they kept a close eye on Qingyan's shops. They were really going all out for their masters.
"Grandpa, did Yiken'e also only get a name at the age of one?" For a short time, Yiken'e thought that his face was Yiken'e. Later, he learned that his name was Hongye, and that people did not avoid using the name of Emperor Kangxi, so they called him Yiken'e.
"No!" Kangxi denied directly. He wanted Yiken'e to feel that he had such a sense of superiority.
Yiken tilted his little head back and said, "Mafa, I know I can't be the one to stick my neck out!"
"Yiken!" Just as Yin was about to reprimand him, Kangxi gave him a dagger-like look, which made Qingyan feel somewhat amused.
In front of Yiken'e, Kangxi was just an ordinary grandfather. When his son spoke ill of his grandson, he would unconditionally side with his grandson.
"Why are you making such a loud noise? Are you raising your voice in front of me?" Kangxi shielded his two grandsons, one big and one small, and glared angrily at Yinzhi.
"Yiken'e, right now, your grandfather can help you hide from your father at the military port. But when your grandfather returns to the capital, won't you be dealt with even more severely?" Consort Tong covered her mouth and laughed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yiken'e's face turned pale. She knew that once her father returned to the capital, her days would be very difficult.
"Father, I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Yiken ran to Yin's side like a dog, fawning and trying to please him.
When Emperor Kangxi saw Yiken'e's adorable appearance, he burst into laughter.
"Father, I am disciplining the child. If you are so unrestrained, how can I discipline him?" Yiken'e is growing up and should be more aware of many things.
"Wait until I leave before you try to control them. I can't stand you talking about two children!" Kangxi said directly.
Yin was taken aback. Kangxi had directly named him, not to stop his actions, but simply to avoid seeing him.
"Alright, let him relax for a few more days." Yin knew in his heart that Kangxi had high expectations for Yiken'e, so Kangxi was very satisfied with Yin's good discipline.
Consort Tong felt a sweet warmth in her heart as she watched the interaction between the father and son; the two of them were always together, constantly tripping each other up.
"Consort Hui, now that Yinzhi has a legitimate son, can you finally rest easy?" Kangxi remembered Duoxi Hui, the birth of this legitimate son, which lightened the burden on Consort Yin Genjue Luo's shoulders.
"I'm relieved. The eldest son always cares about his wife, so I can only extend that care to her as well." Consort Hui smiled.
Yin and Qingyan exchanged a glance. Consort Hui was clearly talking nonsense. If it weren't for Duoxi Hui, she certainly wouldn't have been satisfied with her sister-in-law's actions. Back then, it was an open secret that Consort Hui had made things difficult for Lady Yin Genjue Luo in the harem.
"The name 'Duoxihui' is not good. It seems we need to give him a good talking-to. If the eldest son is often spoiled, it will be very bad for his future." Emperor Kangxi was very strict in educating his sons, so most of them became successful.
Having too many capable sons can be a headache, making the struggles between them increasingly brutal.
"Father, you said you were going to give me a dressing down?" Yin carried Duoxi Hui and walked over from a distance. Yin saw that Yin looked completely content with his child and found it a bit jarring.
