After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, foreign countries will also come to pay tribute and make pilgrimages.

Yin Cheng was conscripted into the Court of State Ceremonial to serve as a laborer, and he was specially assigned to receive the prince Yan Rulai.

Yin Cheng was speechless. They were all his defeated opponents, yet he still had to entertain them. It was really giving him too much face.

The emperor said this was to demonstrate the grandeur of a great nation, and told Yin Cheng to be more restrained and not to become a laughing stock.

This prince from Yanru has come with ill intentions. In addition to presenting gold, silver and jewels, he also brought two beauties from Yanru.

He is said to be a top-notch musician in Yanru, a talent that is rare in a century, and is most skilled in singing and dancing.

The beautiful women, with their slender waists wrapped in red gauze, resembled two delicate flowers in the main hall.

These two young men were extremely handsome; they practically had my identity as a spy written all over their faces.

With a wave of his hand, the emperor bestowed the two beauties upon Prince Cheng.

Prince Cheng, who was slacking off during court, was suddenly called upon and stared at his brother in shock.

"Give it to me?"

The emperor said, "Why haven't you thanked me yet?"

Yin Cheng looked at the two beauties in red, expressing his gratitude verbally, but his mind was racing.

If we take this musician back, will we need to set up a stage for him?

Will Niannian like Yanru's singing and dancing?

However, after watching too many opera troupes that come to our house, it's good to change things up occasionally, so that the little beauty doesn't get bored at home.

Thinking this way, Yin Cheng felt much better.

The news that Prince Cheng had brought back two beauties from Yanru spread like wildfire.

Even before he was at the palace gates, the news had already spread throughout the entire capital.

This was also thanks in no small part to the maternal uncle's efforts.

After hearing the report from the secret guards, Yin Cheng felt even more annoyed with his uncle.

He's sixty years old; by now, that's retirement age. Yet he's still thinking about using the emperor to command the nobles.

Two beautiful women from Yanru were carried into the Prince Cheng's residence in sedan chairs.

Jingyi hesitated for a long time in front of the waterside pavilion before finally going inside.

These two beauties need to be decided by the King.

Lin Nian didn't make a scene. Instead, she adopted the air of a head of the household, saying, "Since they are people brought back by the Prince, I shouldn't neglect them. Go and prepare Hanxiang Courtyard so that my two younger brothers can move in."

Jingyi wanted to say a few words in defense of her lord, but after thinking about it, she decided to let the lord explain himself.

After he stepped down, Huayue and Xiaofu were united in their hatred of the enemy.

"Your Highness has gone too far!"

"Exactly! Our king embroidered purses for him! And what did he do? He went out and fooled around with other women!"

"Wang Jun, don't let him in the house. Make him sleep in the yard!"

"Exactly! Don't even feed him! Let him starve!"

As soon as Yin Cheng stepped into the waterside pavilion, he heard two young men speaking with righteous indignation.

Lin Nian glanced at him indifferently.

Although she didn't say anything, her expression clearly showed that she was angry.

"Who angered our Prince Cheng?" Yin Cheng squatted in front of the little beauty, like a big bad wolf wagging its tail.

Lin Nian snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.

The only thing that could make my precious child angry was the arrival of those two beauties from Yanru.

"Those two people are from Yan Rulai," Yin Cheng said succinctly. "Spies."

Upon hearing this, Lin Nian's heart clenched. "Oh no, what if they try to harm you...?"

My little fool really doesn't care about his own life or death. "Silly boy, I'm afraid they'll do something bad to you."

Lin Nian pursed her lips, and after a long while, she said, "Hua Yue is still here..."

"Niannian," Yin Cheng said, not wanting to scare him, "Don't worry, someone will be watching them."

Lin Nian said "Oh," and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Yin Cheng thought about it seriously for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Want to gain some weight?"

Lin Nian stopped being angry with the man and smiled sweetly as she clung to his arm, acting all coquettish. She was incredibly easy to coax.

Yin Cheng thought that his precious little one was so soft and cuddly that even if someone bullied her, she would just turn red and remain silent, which was really worrying.

What he didn't know was that ever since Lin Nian learned that the two beauties were Yan Ru's spies, she had used all the methods she had been using in the inner quarters that she hadn't had a chance to use before.

Prince Cheng's residence was truly peaceful; there were no unruly servants, nor any mistreatment from elders.

There was no one else in the man's room but him; he, as the head of the household, couldn't have lived a more comfortable life.

Now that two villains have suddenly appeared, Lin Nian feels that all her life's learning has come in handy.

The two men had originally intended to seduce Prince Cheng, but Prince Cheng was as stubborn as a block of wood, and even with their extraordinary seductive skills, they could not succeed.

Lin Nian, having nothing better to do, would set rules for them.

"What are your names?" Lin Nian asked.

Before the two could answer, Lin Nian muttered to herself, "Now that you've come to Da Yin, you should take a name from Da Yin."

The two men exchanged a glance. "Please bestow a name upon us, my lord."

In the Great Yin Dynasty, only the master bestows names upon his servants; by doing so, they completely concealed their identities.

Lin Nian thought to herself, since these two are spies, there's no need to show them any mercy.

His gaze fell on a willow tree outside the waterside pavilion, so he casually said, "Then let's call it Shui'er and Liu'er."

Such a vulgar name, even if used by a brothel boy, would seem bland.

The two of them were beauties carefully selected and sent by Yan Ru, so they naturally knew how much their looks could captivate a man's heart.

By giving them such names, their hopes of becoming the concubines of the Prince of Cheng were dashed.

"What? Aren't you going to thank the lord for bestowing a name upon you?" Lin Nian looked at the two of them and found them to be neither nose nor eyes.

The two bowed softly and timidly, saying, "Thank you, my lord, for bestowing upon us names."

Lin Nian said, "Did you Yan Ru ever teach your sons manners? They can't even do something as simple as bowing and greeting each other. They're really stupid."

Shui'er began to sob, her peripheral vision darting around unconsciously.

Lin Nian knew exactly what he was thinking, so she said calmly, "His Highness had official business outside today and didn't return until dark."

Xiao Fu mimicked the wicked servant's manner, saying fiercely, "Where did this vixen come from, daring to tattle!"

Upon hearing this, Shui'er immediately abandoned her intention to complain and silently endured the harassment.

Compared to Shui'er's quick wit, Liu'er is more patient and restrained.

No matter how difficult Lin Nian made things for him, he listened to her and accepted it passively.

Lin Nian thought that if it weren't for the war between the two countries, such a beauty would definitely be sought after by thousands.

Unfortunately, their fate was not in their own hands.

As the King of Great Yin, Lin Nian would never allow them to do anything to harm Great Yin out of momentary softness.

After Yanru's prince left, confirming that he was truly gone, Lin Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Cheng was well aware of his little beauty's recent prowess, and he absolutely adored her.

Lin Nian felt exhausted, having to guard against spies in the mansion while also appeasing her husband.

The palace banquet was scheduled for the 29th of the year, and those who could attend were either high-ranking officials or members of the imperial family.

To prevent the two spies in the mansion from doing anything wrong, Yin Cheng specifically ordered that the person be drugged and tied up.

Once today's events are over, the emperor will deal with these two spies under the pretext of purging the Prince Cheng's residence.

Yin's only worry now is his wife; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he and his wife will have to spend this Spring Festival in prison.
