Last year, Emperor Kangxi went to Yongding River and beyond the Great Wall, and neither Yinzhen nor Yinzhi went with him.

This year, Emperor Kangxi was thinking about them.

He could still bring his maids and concubines this time, although the number of people he could bring was not large. But after the disaster relief incident, Yinzhen still decisively asked Yixiu to go with him.

Because of Xinghui, he now favors Rouze, so he plans to take Rouze with him.

Needless to say, many stories will arise along the way.

-----------------

Yinzhi became alert.

This time, Emperor Kangxi went on a southern tour to Hangzhou, but because the trip would not be long, he did not plan to bring too many people.

Naturally, Yinreng and Yinxiang, the two sons most favored by Emperor Kangxi, would go together.

But why did Yinzhen and Yinzhi do so?

Even though he was the emperor's eldest son, he still couldn't get along with them.

Yinzhi felt depressed.

At that time, Gao Shiqi reported Soetu, which made Emperor Kangxi decide to execute Soetu.

However, the content of the report against him pointed to his collusion with the prince in an attempt to seize the throne.

But two years have passed, and the emperor's attitude towards Yinreng seems to have not changed at all.

Doesn’t Yinreng care about his great uncle?

Isn’t Soetu the most powerful supporter of the prince’s party?

What’s worse than the fact that the emperor’s attitude towards Yinreng did not change is that the emperor gave Yinzhen and Yinxiang more and more opportunities.

He worked hard but ended up making wedding clothes for others, which was something he didn't want to see.

But no matter what method Yinzhi came up with, he was not included in the list of candidates chosen by Emperor Kangxi.

Nalan Mingzhu advised Yinzhi, "Your Highness, don't be anxious. Going on a southern tour is nothing. Your Highness, why don't you think about it and think about whether there are things in the court that others are unwilling to do and Your Highness can do them to gain the emperor's appreciation."

When Yinzhi heard this, he raised his head suddenly and looked at Nalan Mingzhu with resentment.

"Are you saying that I was wrong for not wanting to provide disaster relief in the past few years?"

Nalan Mingzhu lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at the boss.

"Your Highness is worrying too much. I don't think so."

"When the disaster relief work was underway, the epidemic almost spread, and even his close associates almost died in Shandong. It was a narrow escape."

"Now that I think about it, it was the right decision not to go."

Yinzhi knew that what Nalan Mingzhu said was true.

Fortune and wealth can only be achieved through risk, and Yinzhen finally achieved it.

So he was jealous.

"Your Highness, please do not compete with the Fourth Prince. He is not important. What is important is the Crown Prince."

Yinzhi suppressed his anger and discussed carefully with Nalan Mingzhu what to do next.

-----------------

Spring comes earlier in the south than in Beijing.

Although it is only the end of February, it is not as cold as in Beijing.

They went to Shandong first.

Yinzhen and Yixiu have deep feelings for this place.

They stayed here for half a year to provide disaster relief.

Rouze naturally didn't know about their past.

She was still grounded at the time.

Today, the counties and cities in Shandong have presented a thriving scene.

When Emperor Kangxi saw that the people now had smiles on their faces, he also laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"If you hadn't come up with those methods and raised the money, I'm afraid the people in Shandong would still be living in poverty now."

"Although we cannot resist these floods and droughts, everything depends on human efforts. You have done a great job, and the people of Shandong have suffered less."

Kangxi praised his fourth son sincerely.

Shandong was in a state of disaster at that time, which could be described as hell.

Officials of a higher rank were unwilling to do this hard work in person.

He, the precious prince, volunteered to take over this mess and achieved great results.

How could Emperor Kangxi not value Yinzhen?

Yinreng was impressed by the praise given to Yinzhen by Emperor Kangxi.

Yinreng rode his horse to the side of Yinzhen and said, "Congratulations, fourth brother. The emperor thinks highly of you. It's not long before you are crowned a prince."

Yinzhen looked at Yinreng and always felt that there was something else behind his words.

But it's true that over the years the two brothers have drifted apart and are no longer the same as before.

Although on the surface he still stood on Yinreng's side, only those who were involved could feel what the actual situation between the two of them was like.

"We are all the emperor's sons, so he will naturally treat us equally. However, the emperor values ​​you the most, my second brother. You are a steady person, and you are good at learning and governing. I still need to learn more from you."

Seeing that what Yinzhen said was flawless, Yinreng stopped talking to him.

Although he and Yinreng were drifting apart, Yinzhen was still very happy to be praised by Emperor Kangxi.

Although he is much more stable than before, this is still a happy thing for him.

Just as Yinzhen approached Yixiu's carriage, Rouze came over.

"Fourth Master."

Rouze called him in a tender voice.

Yinzhen didn't want to share this joy with Rouze, but when he saw her coming, he still asked her in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Rouze blinked her eyes, her eyes full of charm.

After two years of confinement, Rouze's skin became whiter and her body became thinner.

Although she insisted on riding a horse for this section of the journey, she was still as weak as a willow in the wind.

That thin waist seemed almost broken.

"Fourth Master, this is the first time I go on a long journey with you. I feel anxious when I can't see you, Fourth Master."

Yinzhen's gaze fell on her heart.

"Frustrated?"

"Yes, Fourth Master."

Rouze smiled tenderly and hooked Yinzhen's sleeve, "Master, listen to whether I am anxious tonight?"

Yinzhen laughed and said, "Okay."

"By the way, I am very happy to see the Fourth Master, but what good news has happened?"

The smile on Yinzhen's face faded when this was mentioned. He didn't want to tell Rouze about this kind of thing.

What do these women know about the affairs of the court? In his heart, only Yixiu can discuss these things with him.

"Nothing, go and rest in the carriage. You are weak, so don't ride a horse."

Rouze obediently returned to the carriage.

However, Yinzhen's mood had calmed down by then, and he was no longer in the mood to share with Yixiu.

-----------------

On the sixth day of March, they entered the Jiangnan area.

The first stop is Yangzhou.

Half of the famous people in the world gathered in Weiyang.

Emperor Kangxi admired Han culture, so he decided to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days.

The people accompanying him were already getting restless.

When you come to Yangzhou, how can you not go to see the skinny horses?

It would be wonderful if you could take in one or two concubines.

Emperor Kangxi would naturally not detain these ministers, but he had to finish his important business first.

River engineering in Jiangnan is the most important. Places like Yangzhou and Suzhou have abundant water systems. If the river engineering is not done well, floods are likely to occur.

Only after the river workers have completed their inspection can we relax.

The local officials who received Emperor Kangxi specially arranged a banquet and invited famous local prostitutes to sing and play music for the guests.

The local salt merchants tried their best to have an audience with the emperor, but were refused, so they had to go round and meet the sons of Emperor Kangxi.

As soon as Yixiu lay down on the bed, visiting cards from the salt merchant and local officials were handed to her.

Yixiu spent half a day selecting the ones she wanted, and then sent the remaining ones to Yinzhen, asking him to select them himself.

Yinzhen picked a few people and let Yixiu arrange her own time.

When Rouze heard what Yinzhen did, she suddenly had an idea.

Those who wanted to see Yinzhen must bring some skinny horses.

Even if they didn't bring digital cameras, they would probably intentionally bring their own female relatives to Yinzhen.

She had asked around and found out that it was the same with the Crown Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince.

Why doesn't she take the opportunity to arrange someone around Yinzhen?

After all, she only has Qi Yuebin as her helper now.

Moreover, she has her own little thoughts, so it is really not easy to use.

Just do it.

Now, Rouze has more servants around her. In addition to Fangruo and Fangluo, there is another one named Fangchun.

Fangchun was trained by Xinghui and was sent by Xinghui specifically to be Rouze's assistant.

Xinghui now knows how to manage his own power. Fangchun is his confidant and can mobilize Xinghui's power outside to a certain extent.

Rouze told Fangchun her idea, and Fangchun said, "Fujin, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

-----------------

On the second day, Yangzhou salt merchant Ma Jue hosted a banquet to entertain Yinzhen and the thirteenth and fourteenth princes.

There were many talented scholars among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and they also invited a group of talented people from Jiangnan.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was already a little tipsy.

Some people who have poor alcohol tolerance have already gotten drunk at this time.

Someone asked Ma Jue, "How can a banquet in Yangzhou be without those beauties? Brother Ma, why don't you arrange it? It will also allow the princes and the princes to experience the customs and culture of our great Yangzhou."

When others heard what he said, they said, "I'm afraid that what you're experiencing is not the local customs, but the human nature."

Ma Jue said, "Don't worry, I have naturally arranged the best. I have even invited Miss Ziyun."

Ziyun is the top prostitute in Yangzhou. She does not sell her body but her art, and is proficient in poetry and songs.

These talented men are willing to spend huge sums of money just to have a candlelight night conversation with a beautiful woman.

Ma Jue was the leading figure among the Yangzhou salt merchants. As long as he was willing to spend money, he could naturally invite Ziyun.

There were not many people who could invite Ziyun to this field, and they were all stunned when they heard that Ma Jue had made such a big move.

While they were stunned, they were also excited.

Miss Ziyun is so hard to meet. Today, not only can they make friends with these princes, but they can also meet Miss Ziyun. This trip can be considered a good deal.

Yinzhen originally didn't have much to think about these things, but when he heard the praises from others, he couldn't help but become interested in the girl Ziyun that everyone was talking about.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, a group of women walked in, all of them wearing veils.

The room was suddenly filled with a delicate and alluring fragrance.

Without anyone introducing her, everyone recognized who Miss Ziyun was.
