In the middle of the night, just as Qingyan was about to fall asleep, Sulan's voice came from outside.
She let her long hair down, got up, put on her outer garment, opened the door and went out. Yin stood at the door with annoyance, and a delicate pink and blue figure appeared in front of him.
Damn it!
The woman looked up and realized it was the maidservant beside the legitimate daughter.
"Su Peisheng, take him away!" Yin said impatiently.
He turned to go inside, but the maid hugged his legs even tighter.
He had wanted to get back to take care of Xiaoguai as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, he was picked up by someone as soon as he got to the door.
If he hadn't been living at the Cao residence, he certainly wouldn't have had such concerns.
Emperor Kangxi specifically instructed Yinzhi that the people of the Cao family must not be frozen.
"Master," Qingyan knocked on Yin's door, sounding somewhat impatient, "drag Su Peisheng away!"
A pang of bitterness welled up in her heart as she looked at the maid's tear-streaked face. The maid looked up at Yin with pleading eyes. If the cold-hearted Yin had been replaced by Yin Zhi, this woman's methods would probably have worked.
"etc!"
Yin walked into the room and stood next to Qingyan, looking at Qingyan's disheveled hair.
"Sulan, style the Fujin's hair. Su Peisheng, take this person to Father Emperor first. The Fujin and I will go right away." Yin turned and went to the inner chamber, as he disliked being touched by outsiders.
Later that evening, Yin and Qingyan strolled under the night sky, and the two of them, accompanied by their maids, walked toward Kangxi's courtyard.
She pursed her lips, feeling that the Cao family was a deep pit, and if she wasn't careful, she would be filled in.
At this moment, Madam Cao was scolded by Cao Yin and quickly followed Cao Yin to Kangxi's side. Today, she had just brought her daughters to pay their respects, and tonight she had caused a scene involving the maidservant of her eldest daughter.
On the way, Qingyan asked Yin about his situation at the time and couldn't help but sigh that every day was full of routines.
"Watch the show more and talk less!" Yin instructed before walking inside.
Su Peisheng was in the hall telling Kangxi what had just happened. Kangxi frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Cao Yin really disgraced him; he started plotting against Yin as soon as Yin returned to the Cao residence.
“Cai Die.” Consort Tong coldly looked at the maid kneeling in the hall; this woman was an absolute beauty.
Cai Die shuddered. Among Kangxi, Yin and Yin, she abandoned the first two. On the one hand, she thought that Yin was the youngest and should be the easiest to seduce. Now, she had to admit that Yin was the most ruthless.
"Mother, Xiao Guai has been resting, but he rushed out as soon as we got back. The guards need to be replaced too!" Yin complained.
Yin knew Consort Tong well; he would definitely mention Qingyan.
"Hmm!" Kangxi looked towards the doorway, while Cao Yin stared nervously into the hall. "Cao Yin, come in."
Cao Yin rushed in and knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"This servant has failed in his duty of discipline and has angered Master." Cao Yin led his wife in. His wife was dressed simply, as if she had rushed here without having time to tidy herself up after the incident.
Qingyan's eyes turned cold. Madam Cao was clearly hostile towards her, probably because she had blocked someone's path to power.
"Fourth Prince, Cai Die was chosen by this servant for my daughter. She is quite capable. Since she likes to serve by the side of the Fujin (Prince), this servant will let her enter your courtyard to be at your disposal!" Madam Cao doted on her daughter. After hearing her daughter say that she liked Yin, she pondered how to sow discord between Yin and Qingyan.
Cai Die was merely a pawn she had thrown out, and it had not achieved the desired effect. If Yinreng could allow Cai Die into the courtyard, her plan would be one-third complete.
Qingyan pursed her lips, her eyes coldly fixed on Madam Cao.
"Madam, are you saying that the royal family has no servants to attend to them?" Qingyan smiled slightly. Madam Cao's plan should not succeed.
Yin's face stiffened slightly; Xiao Guai's words almost sounded like Madam Cao questioning the Imperial Household Department.
"This servant wouldn't dare!"
Madam Cao was having a headache. Everyone said that the Fourth Prince's wife was young and ignorant, but she didn't seem to be.
"My dear, Madam Cao meant well. Excellent servants accompany the eldest daughter, and when she gets married, they can be considered as part of her dowry!" Consort Tong explained from the side.
A dowry?!
Qingyan's eyes flashed. This should be given to the Cao family's son-in-law. What does it have to do with Yin?
"You've taken a fancy to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi choked on his tea. Little Guai's mouth is quite something.
"My daughter is still young, and there is a great age difference between her and Fourth Master. This servant has no intention of marrying above my station!" Madam Cao said sarcastically, saying that Qingyan was already reserved at such a young age.
Cao Yin inwardly cried out in alarm. The Fourth Prince's wife was personally groomed by the Fourth Prince, and no one could be more suitable for him than her.
"Really?!" Yin looked at her coldly. "Yesterday afternoon, at the courtyard gate."
Qingyan chuckled inwardly, while Yin Shen delivered the final blow.
Yesterday afternoon, the eldest daughter of the Cao family did indeed appear at the gate of the Fourth Prince's courtyard, and many guards saw her.
Madam Cao wanted to harm Xiao Guai, but in the end, she returned her legitimate daughter to the prison.
Today, there are many people serving in the palace, including quite a few around Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong.
"Fourth Prince, please don't talk nonsense. My daughter has always been well-behaved and would never do such a thing." Madam Cao quickly denied it. Cao Yin had extremely high standards for girls, especially since his legitimate daughter was to participate in the imperial selection, which was completely different from that of his illegitimate daughter.
Cao Yin's unfriendly gaze chilled Madam Cao to the bone.
Yin didn't even spare Madam Cao a glance, but Kangxi was annoyed. His two sons had come over, and Madam Cao had gone too far, wanting to choose one of the two princes.
Yin's power was too great; he bestowed Li Xu's niece upon Yin, but not Cao Yin's.
"Fourth Prince, this servant begs for forgiveness on behalf of my daughter!" Cao Yin apologized without saying a word.
