Chapter 128: Fishing in the Water
Perhaps the bait prepared today was very popular, or perhaps the head of the village saw that the hostess did not have a good time last time, so he put a lot of big fish in. Yihua had a good harvest today.

Liuliu caught a crab with her small fishing net. She was curious and wanted to reach out to grab it, but was stopped by Yihuan.

If you get bitten, you won’t be able to stop crying.

The fishing and shrimping activity was successfully concluded. Yihua's eyes turned, and she placed her hands under the water, calling out, "Liuliu, watch!"

Liuliu raised her soft and cute face, and Yihuan gently raised a small splash of water.

Water droplets splashed on Liuliu's face and body. She screamed with joy and then started fighting back without being taught.

The mother and daughter started a water fight. The eldest princess stood on the shore, and occasionally the splashes of water would bounce onto her skirt.

As she watched, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She would never be able to experience such pure mother-daughter love in her entire life.

The sun was setting in the west. Yinzhen had been active all day and was about to take the children for a bath when he heard the laughter of Yihuan and Liuliu.

"What is Fu Jin doing? Liu Liu looks so happy." Yinzhen asked curiously.

Su Peisheng's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and replied, "My Lord, Fu Jin and Er Gege are...playing in the water."

"What?" Yinzhen's expression changed. "Nonsense!"

After saying that, he strode towards the lake following the sound and saw two wet people still splashing water on each other.

Fortunately, there was a sensible person and the eldest princess did not go into the water.

Yihuan heard footsteps, looked up and saw Yinzhen's livid face, and immediately cried out in her heart.

It’s over. I was having so much fun that I forgot about time and summoned this cold-faced King of Hell.

Yihuan stopped, but Liuliu was still in combat mode. A handful of water poured over her, and Yihuan shivered from the cold.

Yinzhen immediately reached out and pulled Yihuan ashore, and put his coat on her. Liuliu was also carried up by Honghui.

There was warm ginger soup next to the eldest princess, and the two of them drank a large bowl of it in full view of everyone.

"Princess, please take good care of Liuliu. If you have a fever at night, feel free to come find father." Yinzhen spoke softly to his two daughters.

The eldest princess agreed, then wrapped her in a small quilt, picked her up and walked away.

Yinzhen carried Yihuan horizontally and quickly returned to their residence.

He stared at Yihuan with a stern face as she drank another bowl of bitter medicine to prevent a cold.

"Fujin! What can I say to you? It's only been a few years, and your health hasn't recovered yet. The lake water is cold, but you can go in the water and play there all day long!"

Yinzhen was obviously furious: "Everyone who followed the concubine out to serve today will receive ten strokes of the cane. The master is making trouble and not knowing how to give advice will be punished even more severely."

Yihua's eyes widened as she tried to plead with the people around her: "It was me who wanted to go into the water, and they tried to persuade me, so please don't punish them, okay?"

"If you can't persuade her, forget it. This is stupid. Don't you know to come to me?!" Yinzhen's decision can't be changed. "Add five more boards. If Fu Jin still wants to beg for mercy, then add more!"

Yihuan's mouth was successfully blocked, and she changed her clothes and wrapped herself in a blanket to keep warm.

"Look, sir. I caught a lot of big fish today. Not only is there enough for us to have as a snack, but we can also send some to the capital." Yihuan said flatteringly.

Yinzhen sighed: "Yihua, I know that you are a playful person in your heart. I knew it when I saw you climbing a tree before."

"I am very happy to see you so lively and energetic. But your health is far from as good as it looks. You must always pay attention to it and don't take your health lightly." After listening to Yinzhen's earnest advice, Yihuan couldn't help but feel that she was indeed being unreasonable.

Seeing that Yihuan had taken his words to heart, Yinzhen said nothing more: "Let's prepare a fish feast tonight."

Yihuan sat on the bed, looking at Yinzhen with bright eyes, and they smiled at each other.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Kangxi looked at Prince Cheng who was kneeling and begging: "Are you sure you want to preside over the compilation of the dictionary?"

Recently, Emperor Kangxi initiated the compilation of a dictionary, which was led by the cabinet ministers and was in full swing. Anyone with a long-term vision would know that this was a major event that would benefit future generations.

Prince Cheng was well-versed in poetry and literature and had always enjoyed great prestige among literati. Kangxi could understand that he wanted to participate in this grand event.

But whether he wants to devote himself to it wholeheartedly is debatable.

"Editing a dictionary takes a very long time and requires your full commitment. Are you sure you want to do this?" Kangxi asked again.

Prince Cheng replied sincerely, "In reply to your Majesty, I am a dull boy, with only some talent for studying. I have been muddle-headed these years and have made no achievements, which I am really ashamed of. Now I am fortunate to be able to participate in compiling the dictionary and contribute to your Majesty. This is my lifelong wish, and I beg your Majesty to fulfill it."

Kangxi pondered for a while, and finally made the final decision: "Yes."

With Kangxi's approval, Prince Cheng left the palace with a much lighter step.

It's not that he didn't have any ideas about the throne, but during this period his brothers had been using various means and setting traps one after another, and as a bystander he was also confused.

If he were also in the bureau, Prince Cheng shuddered, thought about it for a whole night, and made up his mind.

As long as he concentrates on compiling a dictionary for the Emperor, he can not only leave his name in history but also avoid disputes among his brothers. Why not do it?

After receiving the news, Yinzhen nodded. His third brother was a typical thief who had the desire but not the courage. The struggle had just begun, but he was so scared that he backed down.

But is the third brother really willing to exit the stage of history like this?

Not necessarily, Yinzhen thought silently in his heart, one must not take anyone lightly.

Time passes quickly on Zhuangzi.

As Liuliu was getting older, Yihuan began to give her initial enlightenment, and recently added calligraphy tutorials.

Liuliu changed from a mud monkey to an ink monkey. Yihua couldn't understand how she could write and draw anywhere with a brush without leaving any marks on the rice paper.

I finally coaxed her into writing a few big words, and everyone who saw it fell silent.

Honghui opened his mouth and finally said dryly: "The form is scattered but the meaning is not scattered. Liuliu does have some talent."

Yihua had seen Honghui's ability to point fingers at others and say that something was right. She hesitated for a while, circled a few words for Liuliu, and coaxed her to continue writing: "These words are very good. Practice them a few more times."

Liuliu happily continued to play with ink.

Yihuan was a little worried: "Liuliu has been writing for a month, and she still can't write straight horizontally or vertically. Is she a stupid girl?"

Honghui wanted to nod, but he shook his head reluctantly: "Mother, Liuliu is still young. It's good enough for her to be able to hold a pen at her age. As long as she doesn't hate learning calligraphy, it will be effective over time."

"Really?" Yihuan was skeptical.

It’s all Honghui’s fault. This child is so smart that Yihua has no idea what a normal child is like!
