On the day the great tide arrived, in addition to the royal family, wealthy families from the surrounding area brought their entire families to witness the spectacle. Meanwhile, the local people were filled with anxiety, fearing that their homes would be submerged.
When the officials of Suzhou and Hangzhou learned that Emperor Kangxi would be coming, they were afraid that it would bring him danger. So they reinforced the dikes during the winter and renovated them every year. However, the people still suffered from disasters every year.
“Little darling, look at those huge waves crashing against the dike,” Fifth Princess Consort said directly.
"I wonder if there's a risk of the dikes bursting this time," the Seventh Princess Consort sighed.
Qingyan sat silently to the side, watching the sky outside grow increasingly dark.
“We’re going to have dinner!” said Ingenjueluo.
Qingyan glanced at the situation on the other side of the dike, put down his telescope, and went with them to improve it.
As everyone was enjoying their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, Tulichen walked in from outside and whispered a few words in Kangxi's ear. Kangxi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but only for a moment. Soon, a smile returned to his face.
"Little darling, something might be wrong!" Yin whispered in her ear.
Qingyan glanced across the room; the officials still looked happy, constantly flattering Kangxi and the princes.
"Sisi, do you mean over there?" Qingyan glanced outside.
Yin nodded. Although the dike had been repaired very well, he didn't know how far away it was.
"It must be at the edge, and there are still some oversights!" Yin tried hard to recall. They had never come to the Qiantang River to watch the tidal bore, so the people suffered.
"Little darling, let's go take a look tomorrow!" Yin was still a little worried.
"Alright, let's treat it as an autumn outing!" Qingyan liked that Yin always worried about these things. Anyway, Kangxi saw it and just tacitly approved of Yin's actions.
After a night of singing and dancing, everyone returned to the palace to rest. As dawn approached, Li Dequan appeared in Yin's courtyard. Su Peisheng was stunned when he saw Li Dequan descending from the sky.
"Quickly wake up Fourth Master and Fourth Princess. His Majesty wants them to go out together in a bit. What are you doing here watching?" Li Dequan looked at Su Peisheng's appearance, his intentions questioned.
Previously, Su Peisheng was personally trained by Li Dequan. Consort Tong selected Su Peisheng from several candidates. How come he hasn't been trained for so many years, but instead he's become so untrained?
"Anda, wait a minute!" Su Peisheng hurriedly went inside. "Sulan, quickly call the master and the princess over here!"
Su Lan quickly walked to the doorway and called out softly.
Upon hearing Su Lan's voice, Yin quickly shook Qing Yan.
"Little darling, Li Dequan is here. We should go with Father Emperor!" Yin pondered that Tu Lichen must have explained the details.
Qingyan groggily opened her eyes, reluctantly got up, sat on the bed, and kept yawning.
"Master..." Su Lan quickly helped Qing Yan wash and dress, changed her into a light jacket and long skirt for going out, and styled her hair into a Ruyi bun, inserting a hairpin specially made for Jiangnan.
"Si Si, let's hold Hafenga too. I feel uneasy if we don't see him!" Qingyan felt uneasy, as if something bad would happen if Hafenga wasn't with her.
Yin nodded and went to Hafenga's place himself. He asked Hafenga's nanny to pack the bags as soon as possible. The three of them got into the carriage and Li Dequan informed Yin before leaving.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yiken'e and Princess Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen are in His Majesty's carriage. The master said you can rest assured!" Su Peisheng reported.
Yin settled down, and Qingyan, holding Hafeng'a, sat down at the kang table. The family of three was having breakfast, and Yin was feeding Hafeng'a spoonful by spoonful.
In private, Yin is like a "nanny" father, often taking care of his son personally.
"You seem much more skilled now!" Qingyan said cheerfully.
"Of course, I can't let you take care of yourself, can I?" Yin squeezed Hafeng's little hand. His son had almost finished eating before he started his own breakfast.
When Qingyan was in a good mood, Yin was very principled. In front of others, Yin would never let anyone see this tenderness. In front of his children, apart from being stricter on their studies, Yin was no different from a loving father in other aspects.
"Of course, children only have one childhood. If they miss it, the relationship between father and son or father and daughter will be severely damaged!" Yin said directly.
He had devoted all his energy to that position, giving up interaction with the children. In the end, after Honghui left, he lamented that he had too few memories with the children.
"Hafeng...stop making a fuss, it's time to sleep now!" Qingyan checked the time, changed Hafeng's clothes, and then patted him to sleep.
The little guy will sleep until after ten o'clock before waking up. Today, they were in the carriage, and Hafeng was a little too excited. Qingyan was red for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.
"Never mind, I'll coax him myself!" Seeing Qingyan's defeat, Yin smiled and sat down next to the stroller, placing his large hand on his son's body to coax Hafeng to sleep.
Saito and Eshuo were guarding outside on horseback when they heard Yin coaxing his son to sleep. They were shocked and couldn't imagine what it was like for Yin to coax a child.
The guards around the carriage cast admiring glances at the Ulanara brothers. The Fourth Prince's wife had made the Fourth Prince do what a wet nurse would do; they were truly impressed.
"Alright, the little guy is finally asleep!" Yin would occasionally help coax his son to sleep at the mansion. As soon as Hafeng saw his father coming, he wouldn't make a fuss at all and would just close his eyes and go to sleep.
"I told you, Hafeng is good at reading people's expressions. He won't say anything when you're coaxing him to sleep, but he makes a fuss when I try to coax him!" Qingyan complained.
Hahaha!
Yin laughed unkindly. Hafeng was playing around with Qingyan. This little guy was a real handful.
"Alright, I'll talk to Hafeng and tell him to go to sleep!" Yin understood that Qingyan had sent his son to relieve his stress. Now, he couldn't predict what would happen next. Kangxi was clearly on a private visit. Besides them, Yin and his wife and their two children, Yinqi and his wife, Yin and his wife, Yin and his wife, Yin and his wife, Yinxiang, and several others came out. The seven carriages traveled in a grand procession on the palace road.
"Sisi, what exactly is going on?" Qingyan was already in a bad mood yesterday, worried that the tidal bore would bring disaster.
