The emperor's prestige among the people reached its peak, and the world was at peace with no wars.

For several years in a row, the emperor lived a very comfortable life.

However, the more power the emperor wielded and the more popular he became, the more difficult things became for the crown prince.

Knowing that Yin Yin was only loyal to the Emperor, the Crown Prince gave up on trying to bring her to his side.

Other princes with similar ideas haven't given up yet, but Yin Yin is unyielding, and Liu Cheng outwardly appears to be someone who doesn't care about anything and is only engrossed in painting, so for a while, it's hard to find any flaws in his argument.

It's not that no one has thought of targeting Yin Yin's son, but the child is young and is rarely taken out except when he goes to the palace to see the emperor.

If you can't even see him, how can you expect to win over Yin Yin?

Because of their helplessness, the emperor valued Yin Yin even more.

He kept his promise and on the day of Yin Yin's child's third-day celebration, he issued an imperial edict to confer a marquis title upon the child, implying that the child would inherit the family line of Marquis Qi.

When Liu Cheng initially suggested that the child should take Yin Yin's surname, Madam Liu had some reservations. However, after seeing that the child had already reached an unattainable milestone just a few days after birth, she finally calmed down.

After all, nothing else matters as much as the benefits that are in one's own hands.

Besides, the Liu family has an eldest son and an eldest grandson in addition to their youngest son, Liu Cheng.

Over the past few years, the emperor has focused on domestic affairs, and the country's strength has been steadily increasing. One after another, princes have been born in the harem.

"Sister Yinyin," Yinyin was called out by the Sixth Prince, who was hiding in a secluded spot, as soon as she entered the palace.

The sixth prince glanced around furtively before quietly beckoning Yin Yin closer.

"Sixth Prince, what are you doing?" Yin Yin asked curiously. "Did you upset Consort Shu again?"

"That's for sure..." The Sixth Prince paused, feigning profundity, before finally slumping his shoulders under Yin Yin's knowing gaze.

"Sister Yinyin, can you not be so smart? You guessed way too fast."

"I can guess what's going on, so why should I lie? Do you want to hear it?"

The sixth prince said directly, "Sister, if you're willing to talk, I'll definitely listen."

Seeing his reaction, Yin Yin didn't seem inclined to continue the conversation: "Tell me what's wrong quickly, I still need to go to my father's place."

"Or are you planning to come with me to pay respects to Father Emperor?"

"Then you should go by yourself, Sister Yinyin," the Sixth Prince said righteously.

“I have nothing to report to my father. Going there would only take up his time and make him think of academic questions to test me. There’s really no need for that.”

Yinyin glanced at him sideways.

The key point of the Sixth Prince's words is the second half.

The sixth prince, a mediocre student at the Hongwen Academy, both loves and fears his father.

Of course, what they feared most was the emperor's surprise inspection and assessment.

Seeing the Sixth Prince turn his face away somewhat guiltily, Yin Yin didn't even bother to persuade him anymore and was about to leave when the Sixth Prince stopped her again.

"Sister, my dear sister, please don't go. You're the only one who can help me with this."

After saying that, seeing that Yin Yin had stopped again, the Sixth Prince didn't waste any more words and quickly said.

"Sister Yinyin, when do you have some free time, please visit my mother?"

“At the last palace banquet, I don’t know who my mother listened to, but she got a shock and came back saying she wanted to find me a good wife.”

"She spent a long time choosing and even brought back quite a few portraits and such," the Sixth Prince said to Yin Yin. "Sister, could you please persuade her for me?"

"My marriage is decided by my father, so no matter how much she tries to pick, it doesn't count!"
