For several days in a row, Yin avoided Yinsi. Whenever he finished court, he would come to Yuanmingyuan with Yin and would not return to his own courtyard in advance.
The Ninth Prince's Consort came over directly after having breakfast, which made Qingyan very curious.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you should take me in for now. If I'm slow to come out, Eighth Sister-in-law will come knocking on our door!" Ninth Princess spread her hands, this matter was really infuriating.
"What's wrong?" Qingyan asked curiously, looking at Ninth Princess's helpless expression.
"The fact that Master and Fourth Brother were going to the south after the New Year has somehow been leaked, so Eighth Brother wants this job!" Ninth Prince's wife has a very bad impression of Yinsi and doesn't like that Yinsi is always coming to see Yin.
What? !
Qingyan looked at the Ninth Princess Consort in surprise. Could the candidate really be changed?
"Are you serious?" Qingyan asked awkwardly. "How can we change the person Father Emperor has already decided on?"
"Eighth Brother wanted to dissuade the Prince so that he could speak for himself!" Ninth Prince's face was very ugly. Two days ago, Consort Yi had called her to her room and told her that she must persuade Yin to stop getting involved with Yinsi.
Qingyan glanced at the surrounding maids, then gave Sulan a look, signaling her to go back first.
“Sister-in-law, I shouldn’t have said that. If Ninth Master refuses this assignment, will Father Emperor assign him anything else?” Qingyan asked.
Ninth Prince Consort's pupils contracted slightly. What Qingyan said was what worried her the most. When the princes reached a certain age, they were all required to perform official duties. Yin had always followed Yinsi, so he had never performed any official duties before. This made Consort Yi very worried.
Although Yinqi grew up by the Empress Dowager's side and didn't speak Manchu or Chinese very well, he still managed to establish himself firmly in the military camp.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, I'll go back now. Don't worry, I'll definitely persuade the Master!" Ninth Princess said helplessly. No matter who it is, they can't ruin Yin's future.
As Qingyan watched the Ninth Prince's wife's retreating figure, a sense of emotion welled up within him. In truth, the Ninth Prince's wife was the best person to Yin.
"Master, it's being said that Eighth Master is going to the south on business with you!" Su Lan walked in from outside and told Qing Yan the news she had just heard.
Qingyan sneered: "Eighth Master made a mistake this time!"
Yin came from the study and heard Su Peisheng's words. He was secretly curious about what Yin would choose.
"Fourth Prince, have you heard the rumors?" Qingyan asked as soon as Yin appeared.
"Of course, but the two will be even more estranged!" Yin was very satisfied with Yin Si's method.
I have gradually slipped out of Yin Si's control, and Yin Si is very anxious. There are fewer and fewer people around him, and if he is not careful, his position will surely be lost.
"Yin will definitely come crying tomorrow!" Yin knows Yin too well. He may seem carefree, but in reality, Yin is a very sentimental person.
If Yin had been able to get along well with his brothers back then, he probably wouldn't have ended up only having his thirteenth brother's help.
"Fourth Sister, should I continue to analyze things for Ninth Sister-in-law?" Qingyan discovered that she could gain a lot from interacting with her sisters-in-law.
"No need, it's better than nothing." Yin took a sip of tea.
The next morning, after Qingyan had just sent the children to the study for their lessons, Ninth Princess appeared before her with red and swollen eyes.
Just as Qingyan was about to express his concern, the Fujin burst into tears.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, what happened... Did Yin hurt you?" Qingyan looked at Ninth Princess Consort with a hint of anxiety.
Ninth Princess Consort shook her head: "Fourth Sister-in-law..."
Qingyan had no choice but to wait until Ninth Princess Consort's emotions had stabilized before looking at her.
Later, Ninth Princess's crying gradually subsided, and Qingyan finally felt a little relieved.
"Fourth Sister-in-law... Yesterday, Eighth Brother went to the mansion." Ninth Prince Consort said unwillingly, "He really wanted the Emperor to ask Father Emperor to let him be the one chosen this time. The Emperor refused directly, but Eighth Brother mentioned the rumors outside, saying that the Emperor should give in so that outsiders wouldn't laugh at the royal family."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyan looked at Ninth Princess Consort in surprise.
"Did the Eighth Prince really say that?!" Qingyan was shocked. Yinsi shouldn't be confused, so how could he say such a thing?
The banquet was becoming somewhat unsettled. Yin Si was always gentle and refined whenever he appeared, and he would never be so impatient.
"Yes, it was the Eighth Prince who said it!" Yin appeared in the hall, and Yin followed behind him dejectedly.
From a young age, Yin had always been very fond of following Yin Si, and now, Yin Si's words to Yin had deeply hurt him.
"Fourth Brother..." A chill ran through Yin's heart. If Yin was still confused, this might be how his life would end.
"Alright, now that you understand, stop looking so dejected," Yin said, looking at Yin.
Yin nodded angrily: "I will definitely be obedient this time and do everything well so as not to disappoint Father Emperor, Mother Emperor, and Fourth Brother!"
"Have a good New Year, sister-in-law. You'll have to take good care of things this time you go out!" Yin said to Ninth Prince's wife.
"Fourth Brother, don't worry, I will learn from Fourth Sister-in-law!" Ninth Prince's wife was not confident. After all, she would be away from home for a long time and needed to prepare a lot of things.
"Fourth Brother, what's the trouble? I can have someone prepare it. Why do we have to stay in the capital?" Yin asked, looking at Yin with confusion.
Before, he would only carry a lot of money when he went out, and he didn't care about the birth at all.
"You're carrying what you're used to. Do you think you have so much money you can't spend it all?" Yin rolled his eyes at him.
Yin silently backed down, and the way his fourth brother glared at him was somewhat like the expression on Kangxi's face.
"Alright, I won't say any more to you. Remember what you said yourself: when we're out in the world, you'll listen to me completely!" Yin said, looking at Yin.
"Yes!" Yin promised. "I will write a letter to the tenth prince, so he won't foolishly fall into the trap!"
"No need, the tenth brother is more cunning than you. You're the only one who doesn't know anything!" Yin said, looking at Yin.
Yin stuck out his tongue. How could Yin say that?
"Fourth Brother...you'll lose your younger brother if you do this!" Yin looked down on Yin Yi, always thinking that the Tenth Prince was the most reckless. Now, however, he was the one being singled out by his Fourth Brother.
"Alright, stop causing trouble here. We're going to be busy again soon. You work in the Ministry of Revenue, so you need to start preparing things for the New Year now!" Yin instructed Yin again.
Preparing for the New Year in the palace takes a long time, usually two or three months.
"Yes!" Yin nodded quickly upon hearing that he was busy.
