After a secret conversation, Yin and Qingyan took the children back to the villa, but they felt uneasy.
Emperor Kangxi was aware of the danger posed by the Cao family, but he still valued the reputation of his senior ministers.
Yin placed the twins on the soft carpet, took off his boots and sat down on the floor. Qingyan also abandoned her dignified demeanor, took off her flowerpot shoes, and joined Yin in playing with the twins on the street.
The family of four hadn't had such a leisurely time in a long time. Since arriving in Jiangnan, Yin seemed to be wound up like a clockwork every day, needing to solve some tricky problems.
“Father hasn’t played with Yiken’e for a long time.” Yiken’e still remembers that two days a week, Yin would come back early to play with the twins.
Upon arriving in Jiangnan, Yin was unable to control all the problems, and he could only reduce the time he spent playing with the children.
Emperor Kangxi was a strict father. Seeing how Yinzhi was taking care of the twins, he would sometimes nag Yinzhi, saying that he had to be a strict father. Instead, Kangxi became a kind and loving grandfather.
Consort Tong then asked Yiken'e whether her mafia or her father was better. Without hesitation, Yiken'e replied that her mafia was more benevolent.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent. At that moment, Yin's face was very gloomy, while Kangxi happily hugged Yiken'e and kissed her twice.
Seeing Kangxi and Yiken'e enjoying each other's company, the Crown Prince felt even worse.
Therefore, the Crown Prince tried every means to kill Yiken'e. If Kangxi and Yinzhen did not protect him well, Yiken'e would definitely be in trouble.
"It's Father's fault, Yiken, Father will correct it!" Yin looked at his youngest son and quickly admitted his mistake.
Yin regretted that the family day had not continued; otherwise, Yiken'e would not have harbored such resentment.
"Father, can we not stay at Mafa's place anymore?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen walked up to Yin and said coquettishly.
Qingyan was taken aback. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen liked Consort Tong very much. How could she have changed so much in just a few days?
"Hutuli Fengsheng Zha Lafen, did someone say something to Grandma?" Qingyan asked softly.
She and Yinfei exchanged a quick glance, deciding it would be best to figure out the problem first.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen pouted and remained silent.
"Yiken'e, what happened?" Yin focused his attention on Yiken'e.
Yiken'e's mood instantly plummeted. As a grandson of the direct line, Yiken'e was bound to have some problems.
"Yes," Yiken'e was about to say when Hutulifengshengzhalafen shook his head in horror.
Seeing this scene, Yin felt a chill in his heart; the two children were indeed being targeted.
“Yiken’e, you have to tell your father so that we can solve the problem,” Yin said gently, coaxing his son.
Qingyan hugged her daughter tightly, trying to soothe the little girl's nervousness.
“It was Mafa’s aunt who said that we had taken Hongxi’s place and that we would have to apologize to Hongxi after we returned to the capital. I said that it was Mafa who brought us to his side, and that person even pinched us.” Yiken’e was afraid of them.
Yin was startled. How could this be?
Emperor Kangxi did not have many palace maids around him. If so, the Crown Prince should have been wary of harming Kangxi's servants.
"Eru, quecha!" Yin was annoyed.
Yiken'e and Hutulifengshengzhalafen were still young, and when they were bullied like this, he could only give a brief explanation and could not explain it clearly.
Erlu left directly from the door; he had to investigate thoroughly who had bullied the young master.
Qingyan didn't take it to heart. As long as Yin took care of things, she could just watch from the sidelines.
The two children rarely have their parents around, and they smile more often as they interact with each other.
After dinner, Yin and Qingyan coaxed the twins to rest before going to the study together.
Erlu was waiting for them in the study. This time the problem was very serious. It wasn't the Crown Prince who sold it, but Hongxi who sold it.
“Your Majesty, this time it’s not the Crown Prince’s fault, but Prince Hongxi who bribed the people around His Majesty.” Erlu told him everything.
Yin and Qingyan found it hard to believe that Hongxi, a teenager, could have such abilities.
In fact, Yin couldn't believe it at all, but reality was somewhat unbearable.
“No, Hongxi doesn’t have much power or money,” Qingyan directly denied.
"Was it given to you by Hongxi's mother?" Yin asked.
Erlu nodded in agreement. If Hongxi wanted to regain Kangxi's attention, then Yiken'e's existence was a crucial factor.
Qingyan held the building blocks and teased Yiken'e without saying a word. Now, she needed the silver needles to make a decision. After all, Yiken'e and Hongxi were princes of the royal family, and the occurrence of such a problem could be considered a duel between the princes.
Several years ago, Hongxi hoped that Emperor Kangxi would only pay attention to his grandson. However, things did not go as planned. The birth of Yiken'e completely disrupted Hongxi's plans.
Even the Crown Prince abandoned Hongxi and no longer paid him the same attention as before.
After all, Yiken'e was the legitimate son, while Hongxi was only the crown prince's illegitimate son. Hongxi's life was about to take a major turn, which he could not accept.
“You always say that we must give Hongxi some time to adapt, but I’m worried that something might happen to Yiken.” Qingyan didn’t want to give Hongxi another chance.
Since he bullied the twins, he must be punished.
“I know, little darling, you have to understand that Father Emperor imprisoned Hongxi for several years, and the bond between grandfather and grandson Zhijian is very deep,” Yin Yuqingyan said.
Qingyan remained silent. After all, the relationship between Kangxi and Hongxi was not something that ordinary people could interfere with.
"I don't want the two children to get hurt again. I want to bring them to live with me and raise them." Qingyan has already decided to take care of the two children, and she is also full of anger towards Yin.
Yin made a concession and decided not to tell Kangxi about Hongxi's bullying of the twins.
Qingyan was somewhat confused, and even thought that Yin was a very incompetent father.
She kept her head down, playing with the children, but didn't give him a single glance.
The atmosphere between them instantly turned icy. Yiken looked up at Yin and Qingyan and sensed some conflict between his parents.
"Father, Mother," Yiken'e placed Qingyan's hand in Yin's hand, her little mouth pouting.
Yin smiled and kissed Yiken's little face, then kissed Qingyan's. With these two little troublemakers, their relationship would only get better.
He was like a little mood-maker; whenever the two of them had a disagreement, a single smile from Yiken could instantly raise the tension between them.
"Mother," Yiken called out to Qingyan again.
Qingyan shook her head and kissed his chubby little face twice.
