A few days before the winter solstice, large red lanterns were hung in the military ports of Guangdong and Guangxi, and many red silk flowers were hung directly on the branches of trees in the courtyards.
"Little darling, look at this message!" Yin received the message from the capital and rushed back.
At this moment, Lady Yin Genjue Luo and Qing Yan were sitting in the flower hall, discussing what they needed for the winter solstice. They heard Yin's voice and saw Yin and Yin walk in together.
"Fourth Prince, what's wrong?" Qingyan looked up and glanced at Yin.
He handed the folded document to Qingyan, asking her to look at the message inside. Qingyan glanced down and was stunned.
"Is there some commotion at Yuqing Palace again?" Qingyan handed the memorial to Yingenjueluo Shi.
She looked at Yin; they didn't even need to intervene, Yin was already ruining his reputation.
"The Crown Prince's life is really not easy." The Crown Prince's reputation was almost ruined during the domestic violence incident. In several consecutive selections of imperial concubines, Emperor Kangxi could not betroth the daughters of important officials to the Crown Prince, for fear of disheartening those officials.
"Was it Lady Li Jia who made the move, or was it the Crown Prince?" The Crown Princess's daughter is pregnant, and now the Crown Princess has closed her courtyard. All the affairs of Yuqing Palace have been handed over to Lady Li Jia, the concubine.
In the Imperial Study, Hongxi became even more arrogant, keeping his head down in front of the other third-generation princes, as if he were the one with the highest status.
“Hongxi has been taught a bit too far. No wonder Father has shifted his attention to Yiken’e!” Yin said with a cold laugh.
The fact that the three feudatories of Hongxi had twice attacked Yiken'e had already greatly angered Yinzhi. Yet Yiken'e was still obstructing him from taking action, saying that he could handle it himself.
"Hongxi has already made things difficult for Yiken'e, and Fourth Brother isn't helping him!" Yinxiang and Yin walked in and happened to hear Yinhe's words.
While in the Imperial Study, Yinxiang and Yinjun witnessed Hongxi making things difficult for Yiken'e.
"Yiken'e won't let us interfere!" Yin spread his hands, there was nothing he could do, his son was so stubborn, he couldn't persuade him.
Qingyan also sighed. Yiken'e's stubborn temper left the two of them feeling helpless.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, there's nothing we can do. Thirteenth Brother and I are also being nagged by Yiken, so we can only watch from the sidelines." Yin also said helplessly.
The twins ran outside the flower hall and listened intently to what was happening inside.
"Yiken'e, Hutulifengshengzhalafen, come in quickly!" Qingyan looked towards the doorway and noticed a shadow suddenly appearing in the sunlight.
Thump thump thump!
Yiken ran in with small steps, holding her younger sister's hand.
Upon entering the hall, the twins politely bowed to everyone, and Qingyan wore a smile on her face.
"What are you two little ones doing here?" Yinxiang asked with a smile as he looked at the twins.
"Father, I heard that Hongxi Ahhun is causing trouble again?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen came to Yin and sat directly on his lap.
Yin nodded: "How did you all end up here?"
He tapped Hutulifengshengzhalafen's little nose and watched as Yikene stopped puffing out his little chest.
“Father, I’ve noticed that after training, there are always a few people loitering around the Crown Prince during his training.” Yiken’e likes to stay in the pavilion in the courtyard, where he can see all the places in the military port using the telescope that Kangxi just sent him.
Um?
"Your Majesty, His Majesty's decree has arrived!" Su Peisheng entered from outside. "Eunuch Li has come in person."
Everyone present stood up. Yin glanced at him and quickly said to Su Peisheng.
"Su Peisheng, go to the training ground and call Yin here too!" Yin felt that something big must have happened, otherwise, Kangxi would never have sent Li Dequan over.
"Yes!" After giving the notification, Su Peisheng quickly ran to the training ground.
Yin led everyone toward the main courtyard. The courtyard where Kangxi had stayed had been left unused and was only used for important events.
Li Dequan stood in the courtyard, waiting for the princes to arrive.
"Greetings to all the princes!" Li Dequan respectfully bowed to the princes.
"Get up, Anda, is there something urgent that brings you here today?" Yin quickly reached out to help him up. Li Dequan was a trusted confidant of Kangxi, and under normal circumstances, Li Dequan would not leave Kangxi's side.
“Prince Zhi, His Majesty requests that you, the Fourth Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and Lord Ulanara return to the capital. Lord Feiyanggu requests that you take several princes and transfer troops from the Xishan Camp!” Li Dequan’s eyes were bloodshot.
"Anda, what's wrong with Father?" Yin thought to himself, something must have happened in the capital.
"The Prime Minister is going to rebel!" Li Dequan traveled day and night to reach the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.
Prince Zhi and the others were stunned, quite the opposite.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" Yin was the first to recover, and the first thing he asked was the Crown Prince.
"When this servant left the capital, the Crown Prince had already been confined to his quarters by His Majesty!" Li Dequan was very worried about Kangxi's condition, so he rushed over as quickly as possible, intending to read out the imperial edict before returning to Kangxi's side.
"Anda, please rest for a bit. We've prepared everything and will set off with you today!" Yin glanced at Li Dequan's exhausted appearance and quickly arranged for him to rest.
After some consideration, Li Dequan concluded that it would be best if they could go to the capital together.
After a quick lunch, the princes were all in the courtyard preparing for their return to the capital. Yinzhi even handed over all the training matters to his subordinates.
"Fourth Prince, will Father be alright?" Qingyan was a little worried. How confident was Hesheli?
"Logically speaking, if Father Emperor is in trouble, Mother Mother would definitely send someone to express her condolences. It's possible that..." Yin felt a sense of worry. Kangxi's dispatch of Li Dequan must have been prepared.
The Crown Prince is in danger!
After hearing Yin's hesitant words, Qingyan began to imagine a mini-drama in his mind, wondering who Kangxi was planning to target.
"Xiao Guai, spread the word that all shops must behave themselves. At this time, it's better to earn less money than to engage in any more promotions!" Yin glanced at Qingyan.
Qingyan frowned slightly: "Fourth Brother, this definitely won't work. You know, the winter solstice is coming soon, and Linglong Pavilion and Yuelai Inn will be offering discounts for it every year. We can't make an exception this year, can we?"
Yin frowned. Qingyan was right. If they prepared as usual, wouldn't the censors find something to use against them?
"Little darling, just do it as usual. Don't do any big promotions or lucky draws this year!" Yin instructed.
"Hmm!" Qingyan glanced at Sulan, found her beside him, and gave her a few instructions.
