As the day for watching the tide approached, Emperor Kangxi, along with Consort Tong and the entire Yin family, went directly to the temporary palace for the tide-watching. The other princes could only arrive at the temporary palace the day before the tide-watching.
The twins arrived at the palace and, as if they were being let loose, immediately began to play and frolic freely around. The two of them began to stroll around the palace, often running to the pavilion in the garden and looking towards the embankment with their binoculars.
Qingyan and Yin sat side by side on a stone bench, with Hafeng'a sitting on his lap, his big eyes looking in the direction of the twins.
"Fourth Prince, this place will be packed with people in a few days!" Qingyan looked at the spacious pavilion with extended corridors on both sides. After the princes came to watch the tide, they would stay in the pavilion and corridors.
"Of course, this is the best spot to watch the tide. If possible, let's not stray too far from it!" Yin glanced around and thought the two places were acceptable.
"Father, shall we sit on the left?" Yiken'e put down his telescope, walked directly to the left side, and began to calculate the distance according to Yin's birth order.
Yin looked in the direction of Yiken'e and measured the distance. If Yinzhi came over as well, they should be in about the same position.
"Almost there!" Yin glanced at the embankment ahead, where the tide was already crashing against it.
Qingyan tilted his head to watch the father and son's actions, a faint smile on his face.
"Fourth Brother, isn't that person coming?" Qingyan thought of Yinzhi and assumed he would attend.
Yin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Fourth brother, your family has found a good place!" Yin Zhi's voice came from behind them, and Qing Yan's small body trembled slightly.
When did Yin Zhi arrive?
"Third Brother, what brings you here?" Yin asked curiously.
"My mother just came from the capital, so she asked me to come along too!" Yin Zhi's face was pale and his expression was haggard, a far cry from the handsome and dashing Third Prince he once was.
A smile appeared on Yin Zhi's face. He had been framed, and his mother had come to help him take revenge. This was very good.
"Is Consort Rong here?" Yin asked in surprise.
"Yes, Mother will accompany me back to the capital!" Yinzhi felt really weak, as if his body had been hollowed out, so he did not refuse when Consort Rong came.
Furthermore, Emperor Kangxi was very dissatisfied with Yinzhi's behavior and even said that Consort Rong should teach Yinzhi manners.
"How are you feeling?" Yin asked as he watched Yin Zhi sit on the stone bench opposite him.
"Fortunately, I can't handle prolonged exercise. I won't come to watch the tide that day; I'm afraid my body won't be able to take it," Yin Zhi said directly.
The twins were making a ruckus in the corridor, and the Third Princess Consort looked over there with envy in her eyes.
Qingyan glanced at it, a sense of curiosity rising within her. This...
"Third sister-in-law, are you missing your daughter?" Qingyan asked.
"Alright, don't we have a daughter by our side? Besides, if the princesses in the manor give birth to a child this time, they can raise it with you too." Looking at the Third Princess's expression, Yin Zhi felt a pang of sadness...
"Third Brother, what happened?" Yin looked at Yin Zhi's actions and felt somewhat surprised. This was definitely not something three people could do.
"You cannot have children within five years, otherwise the child may be deformed, and Father Emperor will not allow such a situation to occur." Yin Zhi rarely went to the courtyards of the Third Prince Consort and Dong E Gege anymore, only going to their courtyards when eating, and staying in the courtyard of the newly recruited female relatives in the evening.
On the very first day the women entered the courtyard, they were frightened by Kangxi's men into taking a sterilization "medicine." In order to ensure that nothing went wrong and that the royal family would be disgraced, Kangxi was determined to be ruthless.
"What?!" Yin and Qingyan were both surprised.
"Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things. On the day of the 'Tide Watching,' Fourth Brother, you must keep an eye on Eighth Brother." Yin Zhi felt that by holding back the matter of the filial daughter, he had helped his brothers. "I won't say more about the matter of the filial daughter. You all should take care of yourselves."
Yinzhi and the Third Princess got up and left. Qingyan stared blankly at their backs, wondering why they had said those things.
"Could it be that Third Master only speaks kindly after encountering a problem?" Qingyan asked curiously.
Yin looked at the servants who had followed him away in the distance. He kept thinking about Yin Zhi's words, which proved that he had stood up for his brothers and that this matter was not just a scheme against him.
If it weren't for Yinzhi, probably all the princes would have faced the same danger!
"No, they must have truly repented!" Yin looked at his brothers, who were no longer the same as before. In their hearts, the sect still cherished that brotherhood.
"Eighth Prince..." Yin was helpless towards Yinsi. He didn't care about the dignity of the royal family at all. Even Kangxi was very annoyed with Yinsi, believing that Yinsi would not care about anything for the sake of that position.
"Is it Eighth Prince causing trouble again?" Qingyan sneered.
Since marrying the Eighth Prince and becoming his secondary wife, Lady Jue Luo has made more and more demands on her mother's side. Her mother has always ignored her, but Lady Jue Luo's clansmen feel that it is only right to help her.
"Hmm." Yin chuckled at Qingyan's disdainful look. "Is the Jueluo clan causing trouble again?"
Yin's words made Qingyan feel terrible. Even during his southern tour, he couldn't escape this. He occasionally met with a female relative who turned out to be a descendant of a concubine of the Jue Luo clan.
"Hmph, the Jue Luo clan is really united in trying to push that person up!" Qingyan was too lazy to pay attention to these people. No matter how much they tried to persuade him, Yin would just give them a perfunctory reply.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to get in!" Yin Zhi reassured Kangxi with his actions. Yin was completely hiding his true intentions. Yin valued martial arts, so the Crown Prince relaxed his vigilance when he saw that his position was secure again.
The Eighth Prince immediately stood out, realizing that his brothers hadn't valued any of the positions, and hoped that his performance would earn him the Emperor's favor.
"Fourth Prince, did Third Master come to tell you this on purpose?" Qingyan looked at Yinzhi's solemn expression, and knew he was speaking from the heart.
Yin shook his head, indicating that it might not have been said intentionally. If there were people following behind, it was probably meant for them to hear.
"Alright, whatever it is, let's not pay attention to it!" Yin said to Qingyan.
Qingyan wasn't confused either, and Yin told her not to think too much about it.
The cries of the twins echoed in the corridor, and both Yin and Qingyan looked over to see their children playing there.
"They'll be here soon, won't they?" Qingyan said, looking at Yin.
Yin chuckled for a moment, then said nothing more.
