The imperial carriage remained very quiet throughout the journey, and no one was summoned.
The wives sat obediently inside the carriage, the previous cheerful atmosphere gone.
"Fourth Brother, the convoy has been very quiet lately," Qingyan asked curiously.
Yin looked up at her from the memorial: "Of course, the princes outside the Great Wall have made their move, Father Emperor will definitely retaliate!"
Inside the carriage, the twins were playing with building blocks, while Qingyan sat on the kang table, playing with the children.
"Yiken'e, have you been diligently practicing your calligraphy while your father has been away these past two days?" Yin asked, looking at the two children.
Yiken nodded: "Father, I've been trying my best!"
Yin looked down at the calligraphy practice book, feeling very satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Yiken'e, once we arrive at the border, you will accompany your father to meet some people. Are you ready?" Yin has some very good relationships with people outside the border, so he can introduce Yiken'e to them.
“Yes, I’m ready!” Yiken nodded. “I’ve already learned all the rules that Su Anda taught me!”
Qingyan looked at the father and son with curiosity, neither of them had told her anything.
“Before, I anticipated that I might come to the border to pay respects to my ancestors, so I prepared people who were left behind by my mother. Yiken’e will be my successor, so it’s good for them to get familiar with each other as soon as possible!” Yin also had his own ideas. If Yiken’e could take care of these people, he would be able to help them when he was in danger.
The security issue of the mansion can also be resolved. Previously, Yin saw the crisis at the Prince Li's mansion and immediately felt that the best way was to determine a successor in advance.
"Fourth Prince, you've made this decision at such a young age? What about Hafeng?" Qingyan asked, looking at Yin.
The ultimate tragedy of Yinzhi, besides the struggles among the princes, was largely due to the unfair treatment of his children by Emperor Kangxi, which caused resentment in their hearts.
The princes joined forces to drag the crown prince down, showing Emperor Kangxi that the crown prince he had chosen was not so good after all.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. In our mansion, the two children won't cause as much trouble as we brothers do!" Yin knew Qingyan's concerns.
"These are people that both children will introduce. As long as they are my sons, they can use this network!" Yin Hui will share his network with his children. If anyone wants to stand out, they can directly build their own network.
Yiken raised her little face and looked at Yin with an innocent expression.
"Alright, you two have gone too far." Qingyan was exasperated. "Yiken, you need to take good care of your younger brother, understand?"
"I will!" Yiken'e had understood the role of the eldest son since he was a child, so he performed very well in front of Kangxi.
Now that Yinzhen was subtly grooming Yiken'e, Kangxi tacitly approved it.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arranged for us to stay in the city today!" Su Peisheng reported from outside.
Qingyan looked out the window. It wasn't even noon yet. Were they supposed to fend for themselves for lunch?
"What about lunch?" Yin squeezed Qingyan's small hand, waiting for Su Peisheng's answer.
“We’ll handle it ourselves!” Su Peisheng replied directly.
Qingyan was taken aback. Whenever Kangxi set up camp in a new place, he would invite the princes and their wives to dine together. Why didn't he invite them this time?
“Bayan has already booked a private room. There’s also a large Yuelai Inn here; you should go check on how it’s doing.” Yin was still a little worried about the Yuelai Inn outside the pass.
The princes outside the Great Wall were all fierce and wary of the princes' shops.
The Yuelai Inn is doing quite well outside the pass; it's hard to say they didn't use some kind of trickery.
“Okay, let’s go together!” Qingyan nodded.
The imperial carriage went directly to the imperial palace, while the princes' carriages left the procession and headed to their respective chosen restaurants.
Yin and Yin's carriages stopped in front of the inn at the same time. The two brothers got off the carriages with smiles on their faces.
"Brother, you've come too! Let's have a meal together." The two families have a very good relationship, and it's always been difficult to book a private room at the Yuelai Inn.
"Well, I only managed to book a small private room. My sister-in-law's rules are really effective. They've managed to make the servants so obedient. Even a lot of money can't buy them off," Yin said with admiration.
Qingyan stood at the back, smiling somewhat embarrassedly.
"Master, everything is ready!" Bayan came out of the inn, and Qingyan's top-class private room was put into use for the first time.
The innkeeper has personally arranged the meals. When the master comes to inspect, Yuelai Inn will use specially prepared menus, which are beyond the immediate control of the staff.
The group entered the top-tier standard room, and Yin couldn't help but marvel at how Qingyan's reserved private rooms, while having the same layout as those in the capital, were decorated with local characteristics.
"Little darling, this private room is really nice!" Yin exclaimed, looking at the animal head specimens on the wall.
“Brother, you flatter me. If you wish to dine here, simply present your prince's jade pendant to the innkeeper!” Out of respect for Yin, Qingyan reserved his private room for the first time. “Only your, Thirteenth Prince’s, and Fourteenth Prince’s prince’s jade pendants are useful; other princes’ jade pendants are not.”
Yin was stunned; he hadn't realized he was receiving such generous treatment.
"What about the fourth prince's?" Yin asked, noting that among those who could use the jade pendant, his own was not among them.
"Haha, my Sisi only needs to show her face, this face is all she needs!" Qingyan laughed heartily.
Yin Genjue Luo Shi chuckled. Yin's icy face was unique among the princes.
"Fourth brother, you..." Yin looked at Yin's face and had to admit, this face was more effective than any jade pendant.
"Don't listen to Xiao Guai's nonsense. Only my personal seal is acceptable; nothing else will do!" Yin said directly.
Qingyan nodded: "Fourth Master's face is acceptable too!"
“Every time you come, the manager will personally design the menu. Brother, when you come, you can have someone tell the manager what your taste preferences are!” Qingyan specifically instructed the manager to provide individual service.
Yin sighed, realizing that Qingyan was definitely a business whiz, but he had never thought of this.
"Apart from the top-tier private rooms, the other private rooms don't offer this service; it's just a high-end service!" Qingyan said directly without any attempt to hide anything.
Yin had to admit that Qingyan's concept was good; wealthy people all wanted to buy a satisfactory service.
"Well done. The managers must all have medical training, right?" Yin asked directly.
“Yes, I used to practice medicine in clinics, though I was a self-taught practitioner!” Qingyan said directly.
Yin Zong said that Qingyan's decision to force the managers to study medicine was an outrageous thing, but now it seems that the managers did the right thing.
