Beside him, Chen Yang, who was on duty with him today, rolled his eyes around a few times. Then, he leaned closer to Chen Ma with an expression of great curiosity and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, Third Brother, Xin Jin and Big Brother asked about Miss Bai a few days ago. Do you know what happened later?"

"Who are you talking about?"

When Chen Ma heard the name said by Chen Yang, his sharp eyes as a knife immediately swept over.

Chen Yang was stared at by him as if he didn't see anything. He tilted his head and answered with a confused look.

"Sochuolun Ahxinjin, what's his father's name? Oh, Sochuolun Guiduo, the eldest son of the eighth-rank official who came back with Lord Gao Bin to report on his work and made meritorious contributions."

In fact, when Chen Yang just said it, Chen Ma already knew who it was. He was surprised that the other party was asking about Bai Ruiji. Could it be that he was interested in Miss Bai?

When he thought of the other party, who was uneducated, often frequented brothels, and now had several concubines in his mansion, and how he dared to covet Miss Bai, Chen Ma gripped the sword with such force that his knuckles turned white.

After observing Chen Ma's appearance without leaving a trace, Chen Yang raised a faint smile but quickly retracted it. Then, he continued to share gossip with Chen Ma with the same heartless look.

"Don't you know? You were on duty with Big Brother a few days ago, I thought you knew."

At this moment, all his attention was on Chen Ma, who wanted to beat Xin Jin up and it was difficult for him to suppress his anger.

It was because he was still on duty and couldn't get away, otherwise he might have gone to Sochoron's house to find Xinjin for a good talk.

Chen Ma's forehead was bulging with anger, but thinking that what if he had misunderstood, he just asked with gritted teeth.

"What did he say?"

The fish has been hooked. Chen Yang is still thinking about the glittering headdress that the prince promised him, and he thinks about how happy his wife will be when he takes it back.

Chen Yang could only say to his third brother in his heart, “I’m doing this for your own good,” and then continue to set a trap for Chen Ma.

"What else can I say? Recently, Nanny has been helping Miss Bai with her fortune telling. Ah Xinjin heard the news and came over to ask about it."

After getting the confirmed answer, Chen Ma felt dizzy. He was so anxious that he didn't even care about standing guard. He came to Chen Yang and asked anxiously.

"Did big brother agree to him?"

Although Chen Yang was also anxious in his heart, he also knew that too much is as bad as too little, so he changed the subject.

"How could that be possible? The prince had asked us to inquire about all the men of the right age in the capital. We all know what Xin Jin is like."

Chen Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought that if Chen Hu had directly rejected the other party, Chen Yang would not have asked him about the follow-up, so there must be something wrong.

"And after that"

"Then Lord Gao came to plead for mercy. I don't know what Gui Duo said to Lord Gao, but Lord Gao found my brother and said that Xin Jin liked Miss Bai so much that he couldn't sleep or eat, and hoped that my brother could say a few good words to the prince."

"But then I was sent out by the prince to do some work, and I don't know the rest. I didn't see my brother when I came back yesterday. I thought you knew, and wanted to ask you about the follow-up."

After finishing what he wanted to say, Chen Yang ignored Chen Ma's gloomy face, turned around and stood guard obediently as if nothing had happened, leaving Chen Ma alone, getting angrier and angrier.

At this time, Yin Qi, the mastermind behind the scenes, had no idea that Chen Ma had fallen into the trap. As soon as he arrived at Jiuzhou Qingyan, he heard the sound of Yongzheng's happy laughter in the room from a distance.

At the door, Xiao Quanzi hurriedly came up to greet Yinqi with a smile on his face, followed by Chunlai and Xiao Manzi who were standing at the door waiting with him.

"Greetings to the Prince"

"Get up, Hongli is here too?"

He waved his hand to ask them to stand up, and Yin Qi continued walking forward without stopping. Several people stood up and hurried to follow him.

"Yes, the emperor said this morning that he wanted to see Prince Yonghuan, so the prince brought Prince Yonghuan to pay his respects to the emperor."

Chunlai, who reacted the fastest, replied immediately, Yinqi nodded, and Xiao Quanzi also said to Yinqi with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you haven't been here for several days. The Emperor was still talking about you yesterday."

"Thinking about me? You are blaming me, right?"

Yinqi couldn't help laughing when he thought about how the old man Yongzheng had complained to Nian Shilan that Yinqi never came to see her, and that he had become bolder after being spoiled over the years. Nian Shilan, who was also tired of hearing his words, rolled her eyes and sent him out of Yikun Palace.

Since those trouble-making women disappeared from the harem and there were two gentle concubines, Consort Jing and Consort Yuxi, leading the harem, it can be said that the harem now lives in harmony.

After all, most of the famous people in the harem have children and their status is not low.

Among them, Nian Shilan, who was the most capable of causing trouble, was the one who was Yongzheng's greatest favorite. Every day, she was immersed in a busy life of talking about love with the emperor, dressing up her daughter, and choosing a husband for her daughter.

How could I have the mood to torture the rest of these poor creatures who are only pampered a few times a year?

Those who have children worry about their children, and those who don't have children want to compete for the emperor's favor, but the emperor ignores them. Over time, the women in the harem all reconciled and got together to play cards and listen to operas.

In addition, the national treasury is now abundant, and Yongzheng is not as stingy as before, and he will give them some rewards every now and then.

Under the management of Prince Yi, no one in the Imperial Household Department dared to do anything that would curry favor with the powerful.

Gradually, the women in the harem discovered that this kind of life was really wonderful, as they didn't have to serve anyone, had money and free time, except that they could not leave the palace.

And the fact that they couldn't leave the palace was nothing to them, as they had all been going through this since childhood.

Even their mother's family did not have a garden like the Imperial Garden, which was large and frequently changed with new designs, for them to play in, nor did they have the best opera troupe in the capital for them to watch plays.

If you think about it this way, life today is much better than before when you had to try to be jealous of others and get punished or even lose your life if you were not careful.

As for what the family said about giving birth to a prince to bring honor to the family.

Haha, let’s not talk about whether the emperor can still have children now, even if the emperor can still let them have children.

In front are Prince Bao and Prince He, both of whom have made great contributions, and behind are the sixth and seventh princes who are about to reach adulthood and have been praised by the emperor for their intelligence many times.

At the very least, the youngest prince, the Eighth Prince, can now go to the Shangshufang to study.

According to the emperor's current age, waiting for them to give birth to a prince to inherit the throne is not only harder than ascending to heaven, but the princes before them will not be able to make them succeed.

They might even lose their lives for it, and they haven't lived enough yet.

Of course, the main reason is that many people have tried to murder the royal heir but failed.
