Once or twice, Yongzheng dragged his feet for a long time before agreeing to the minister's memorial, just like in the case of Jinzhong.

However, during the morning court session, the court officials could clearly see that his expression was becoming increasingly uglier.

At the same time, because he lost his imperial composure on several occasions and repeatedly obeyed the ministers' reports, his brothers, led by Prince Zhi, all became estranged from Yongzheng.

In an instant, the scene in the court seemed to have returned to the horror of the Nine Dragons' fight for the throne.

However, in private, out of sight of the court officials, Prince Zhi and Prince Dun had already begun secretly sending people to monitor the movements of the ministers who had made memorials, and were also beginning to uncover who were the backup officials for these clan members.

After three or four times, the time Yongzheng stayed for became much shorter, and without the support of his brothers, he even began to show signs of decline.

This made those clan members, who had tasted success several times, gradually become blinded by the power in their hands, and finally began to do things in a careless manner.

Little did they know that the names of their officials had almost all been discovered secretly by Prince Rui and Prince Yi.

And they have already begun secretly training replacement officials to replace these officials who have become disloyal.

After five or six times, Yongzheng began to be less diligent in his work than before. Even in the more than ten years since he ascended the throne, Yongzheng, who had never intended to travel, actually took the Imperial Noble Consort and two concubines, put aside state affairs and went to Ganlu Temple and Lingyun Peak for three days.

This made the clan members who felt that Yongzheng had delegated power even more delighted, and they acted more and more recklessly.

What Yongzheng was waiting for was the moment when they relaxed their vigilance, so he made secret arrangements for more than half a month and captured several people who had realized something was wrong and were about to escape.

Yongzheng, who had been prepared for a long time, directly ordered to catch all the relatives and ministers who were causing trouble.

Looking at those people being dismissed from office or stripped of their titles, Yin Qi waved his hand and recalled those who sent the news, keeping his merits and fame to himself.

Yinqi, who was completely happy after avenging Jinzhong, turned his attention back to the construction of the mansion. In order to build the mansion, Jinzhong even stopped going to the military camp and focused on building their little home with Yinqi.

From that day on, because they were tired of commuting between the palace and outside every day, Yinqi and Jinzhong, amid the competition among many brothers, turned around and moved into the small courtyard that was separated out in the Prince Li's mansion by their eldest nephew Hongxi for the current Prince Li.

It was not for any other reason, but simply because this small courtyard was very close to the back door. Every day, as long as the two of them went out of the back door of Prince Li's Mansion, they would arrive at the gate of their unfinished home.

It really made it much easier for the two of them to communicate with the Imperial Household Department and discuss how to build their own mansions according to the blueprints.

At the same time, Yinqi was also busy taking people to the other courtyard to make glass to beautify the mansion. Although there was already a glass workshop in the capital, what was sold there was just ordinary colored glass.

And it doesn't look very clear, and there is no larger one if you want it, and the price is shockingly high.

Even in the imperial palace today, only the palace where the master lives is used, and other places cannot afford to install glass.

The same was true in the palaces of the royal princes, not to mention the homes of the ministers who were frightened by Yongzheng's house raids.

So for his own convenience, and also to be able to make glass and utensils that suit his taste, Yin Qi and his men worked in the villa under the scorching sun for nearly half a year.

(see comments)

Amid the disappointed looks of Prince Zhi and Prince Dun, Jinzhong turned to the Imperial Household Department and began to learn how to make furniture from the carpenters.

After all, this is the home they will live in for decades to come, and they personally supervised and built it, so of course they have to do their best.

Although Changqiu Palace and Changchun Garden were also their homes, they were gifts from Kangxi to Yinqi after all, and had different meanings.

The two of them had been busy outside the palace, and Yongzheng and others had also been busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, so apart from the two of them, few people knew what Yinqi's mansion looked like.

It was not until Yinqi and his partner's mansion was completed and they invited a few of their brothers who happened to be free to come and see it that everyone realized that Yinqi had built their mansions together.

There are only two words on the plaque at the main gate: Wangfu.

Looking at the plaques on the two people's mansions, Yongzheng's forehead was pounding.

He still remembered that when Yinqi came to ask for calligraphy for a plaque, he wrote several pieces before he finished it and sent it to him.

Now looking at the two big characters "Yu" and "Cheng" placed by Yinqi above the two side doors, the incongruous appearance really made Yongzheng want to raze the mansion to the ground, and he ordered people to build two new ones.

But when he thought of the money that Yinqi and the other had invested in building the mansion, Yongzheng had to force himself to hold on until his teeth were almost broken.

Since the mansion had just been built and the two had not yet moved in, the residence was now completely empty and without any decoration.

But Yinqi called everyone here today not to see the inner hall, but to see the exquisite garden of the mansion, which is the most prosperous in early autumn.

Unlike other royal palaces which are mostly residences, the palace of Yinqi and his companions is more of a scenery. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a smaller version of Changchun Garden.

The two of them put a lot of thought into designing this scenery, and Yin Qi looked through all the plants in the mall before picking out the suitable ones to put in the garden.

Even the space of the Old Summer Palace in the late Qianlong period, where there was a scene every five steps and a painting every ten steps, is not enough to describe the spring scenery in Yinqi's mansion.

Especially the special planning that was different from that of this dynasty, which made all the brothers stare at it with curiosity.

After all, Yin Qi and the other person traveled around the world in later generations, so their perspectives were certainly different from those of the ancients today.

The unique design has a bit more novelty and a bit less antiquity, which even people who are used to seeing beautiful scenery find it strange.

After viewing the scenery of the mansion, Yin Qi led everyone to a second-floor observation deck on the east side of the garden to rest.

Nanny Liu had already prepared the tea and snacks, while the other brothers were still curious about what kind of tea was so sweet.

The oldest Prince Zhi had already gulped down the entire cup. After drinking the spiritual tea that Yinqi took out from the space, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked for another pot.

While waiting, he suddenly seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Yin Qi who was standing by the fence and asked.

"This palace is beautiful, but you only built the main courtyard. How will you live when you two get married?"

In fact, even if Prince Zhi didn't say it, the brothers were thinking about this question as soon as they finished touring the mansion.

Yongzheng frowned and thought in some difficulty about how to improve the situation where Yinqi and the other two were too close.

It didn't matter before when they were both young, but now they have both grown up to be independent men, and they still live together every day, which inevitably makes people think more.

Yongzheng, who had already thought a lot at this moment, felt even more flustered, especially after hearing Yinqi's next reply, his heart sank completely.
