Life on the sea is boring, especially for Yin Qi who has always lived in modern times. It is almost killing him. Fortunately, there are a lot of game stocks bought in the previous two worlds in the space for him to kill time.

However, no matter how fun a game is, one will get bored after playing it for a long time, so occasionally at night when everyone is resting, Yinqi and Jinzhong would go to the bottom of the sea to buy goods, or rather, to go shopping.

As a result, many shipwrecks were discovered, one of which was a cargo ship from the Tang Dynasty. Yinqi found a lot of sealed porcelain, books, gold and silver in it, which made him happy for several days.

Since they finally arrived at the place and landed, small countries like Dongying and North Korea were not so difficult to deal with, after all, they came from our place. Although Yinqi was not used to their lifestyle, it was still tolerable.

But after arriving in the Western countries, he saw that even their imperial cities were filthy, which was really unacceptable to Yinqi.

Although China is not as prosperous as their country, it is much cleaner in comparison. The living environment is a little dirty because technology is not well developed now.

Most of the means of transportation are livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep, which will have some excrement and so on. Yinqi used to be able to pretend not to see it, but there was no way around it. This was a drawback of the ancient times.

But that was only the case outside the city. Even if there were any inside the city, they would be in hidden places.

That would have been fine, Yinqi just hid in the sedan chair and refused to go out.

What Yinqi could not accept the most was the Westerners' body odor and their concealment of their body odor.

As we all know, well, this is also something that Westerners themselves are extremely troubled about. The key problem is that they don’t think about how to solve it, but choose to rack their brains to cover it up.

When Yinqi learned that the perfumes, wigs and other things they made were for this kind of smell that was hard to conceal, Yinqi and Jinzhong, who were animals, could not accept it either in terms of smell or psychologically, and felt nauseous.

Not to mention the blatantly chaotic relationships between men and women here. It is extremely common for a grandfather's grandson to be actually his son, and it is even more common for friends to exchange wives.

When he first encountered this incident, Jinzhong was stunned for a moment and then sighed.

"Lang Shining had repeatedly praised his country's concept of monogamy and free divorce before, so why didn't he say these things?"

Huh? Yinqi really didn't know. He tilted his head and looked at Jinzhong in surprise.

"I also heard that when Emperor Qianlong first ascended the throne, Concubine Xian and Ruyi went to Ruyi Pavilion to talk with Lang Shining. This matter was known to the whole palace at that time. The emperor and Concubine Xian even had a fight over it, and they reconciled after more than a month."

After Jinzhong's explanation, Yinqi remembered that this was indeed the case. However, since it had nothing to do with Jinzhong, Yinqi didn't care about it and just complained.

"Who would say bad things about their own family when they are away from home?"

After this incident, the two's curiosity about the West, which had never been to this era, was completely exhausted. If they wanted Yinqi to come to this place in this era again in the future, Yinqi would rather be locked up in Changqiu Palace for recuperation for the rest of his life than come out for half a day.

Because everyone on the ship often has to live in different places, they don't feel that life is that difficult even though they have been away for a long time. It's just that being away for so long makes them miss their hometown very much.

So after they had sold all the supplies that filled their three ships, they immediately set off for home without any delay.

After two years and seven months, at the end of September in the sixth year of Yongzheng's reign, the ship finally returned to Tianjin Port.

Because they sent someone back by land to deliver the message when they passed by Xiamen Port, the picking team was able to wait for them at the dock early.

But Yongzheng did not come this time. In fact, he originally wanted to come to pick him up in person, but the incident of Prince Cheng's bribery was exposed in early June, and the person who bribed him was none other than the Baoyi family whom Yongzheng had immediately eliminated after he ascended the throne.

Yongzheng was furious when he heard the news. He directly demoted Prince Cheng to a prince and confined his entire family to the prince's palace.

But after all, he was his brother. Although Yongzheng wanted to punish him severely, he softened his heart in the end and pinned all the charges on his second son Hongsheng, and imprisoned him in the clan house as a punishment.

“I didn’t expect it would take so long this time.”

On the deck, Jinzhong, who was eight years old this year, stood next to Yinqi, who was eleven years old, and looked out at the dock that they had just seen in the distance.

"Yeah, I'm finally back. I feel like I'm almost being marinated by the fishy smell on my body."

"Is there? Let me smell it."

As he spoke, Jinzhong put his face close to Yinqi's chest. The angle was just right so no one else could see, so Jinzhong kissed Yinqi directly at a certain spot on his heart.

Yinqi rolled his eyes when he felt Jinzhong's action, raised his hand and pushed his head away forcefully.

It’s not that Yinqi doesn’t accept Jinzhong’s approach, but whenever Yinqi thinks of the age of their bodies, a sense of guilt instantly comes up.

After being pushed away, Jinzhong glanced at Yinqi's cute expression, snickered, and then leaned over again. However, this time he did not do anything to embarrass Yinqi. He just tilted his head and leaned on Yinqi's shoulder.

Yin Qi moved his shoulders twice but failed to move Jinzhong's head. He had no choice but to give up. However, looking at Jinzhong, who was almost the same as him, Yin Qi felt suffocated.

In this life, he didn't know if he inherited the height of the Aisin-Gioro family, but at the age of eleven, he was only half a head taller than the seven-year-old Jinzhong. Yinqi was worried that he would not grow taller, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought that he would not even grow taller than his previous shortest time in this life.

So since he was five years old, he has been drinking milk, eating eggs and exercising every day, but unfortunately the effect does not seem to be very obvious.

The two of them leaned there quietly enjoying the sea breeze. Not far behind them, the two princes had just put on their court uniforms and walked out of the cabin.

Looking at the two children leaning against the fence on the deck, they looked at each other tacitly, then turned to look in the direction of Yin Qi and smiled dotingly.

This voyage was quite tiring for these two men, who were nearly sixty years old. Fortunately, they brought more people with them and the nautical charts were drawn very carefully, so next time they go out to sea, they won't have to put their old bones through the hard work.

They had suffered a lot in the early years, especially Yinreng. Those days were exhausting for him both physically and mentally. Although his health had improved a lot in the past two years for some reason, he also knew that he was now at the end of his strength.

But in order to give his wife and children a better life in the future, when the emperor ordered them to build ships and go to sea, he agreed, whether for the Qing Dynasty or for his family.

Now that he was back safely, he could finally put his mind at ease, feeling that his life in this world was worthwhile.
