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

Once the man released her, Lin Nian immediately continued, "So, between the two of you, whose swordsmanship is better?"

Yin Cheng sighed, then shamelessly pleaded with his wife, "Can't we just not talk about this?"

Lin Nian suddenly realized what was going on. He chuckled for a while before asking, "You lost?"

"I didn't lose," Yin Cheng said vaguely, "but the victory wasn't exactly honorable."

"What happened?" Lin Nian asked curiously. "Tell me, Ah Cheng, I want to hear it."

Yin Cheng's mind raced. He suddenly pointed to the stall in front of him and said, "Ah, there are sugar paintings over there, want some?"

"I'm not eating! Ugh!" Lin Nian glared at him. "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm going back."

"The day he fought me, he had Lan Shu use a mirror on the city wall to dazzle his eyes, which is why he lost. If we had really fought, I'm not sure I could have beaten him in swordsmanship."

Yin Cheng paused for a moment, then continued, "He always thought he was just blinded by the sunlight and never suspected that Lan Shu had tampered with it."

Lin Nian: "...Why would Lan Shu do this?"

"I am the commander of the Northern Army. If I lose to a wandering swordsman, it will shake the morale of the army."

Lin Nian thought, no wonder Lan Shu could be a strategist while he could only be a young master in the inner chambers. In terms of the overall situation, he was far inferior to Lan Shu.

Although this matter is indeed quite unfair to that Bei Dao, there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the peace of the border is related to every citizen of the Great Yin Dynasty, so at this time, we can only ask that Northern Blade Hero to make do.

Thinking about it carefully, my husband must be under a lot of pressure too. Countless eyes are watching him every day, and even the smallest thing will be magnified infinitely.

Thinking this way, he suddenly felt particularly sorry for the man.

He must be very lonely...

Lin Nian pursed her lips, secretly cursing herself for asking so many questions, only to feel bad after hearing them.

"Ah Cheng, let's go, let's go buy some sugar paintings." Lin Nian pulled the man along, "We'll make one for Pearl and one for Hua Yue later."

"And what about me?" Yin Cheng asked. "Don't I have any?"

Lin Nian pouted, "I can't finish it all, why don't you just share one with me?"

Although Lin Nian is now a father, he still hasn't been able to change his old habits.

The two quickly arrived at the sugar painting stall. Lin Nian hesitated for a long time over the various styles of sugar paintings. Yin Cheng suggested to him, "Why don't you buy them all?"

Lin Nian shook her head, "No, I want to choose my favorite one."

Yin Cheng didn't urge her, but quietly accompanied his wife to choose styles.

In the end, Lin Nian chose a design featuring a Fuwa (mascot) holding a koi fish.

Yin Cheng said, "This baby is quite chubby."

Lin Nian said, "The Fuwa mascots are meant to be chubby to look good."

"It looks a bit like a pearl," Yin Cheng said. "Our pearl also has a small, round face like this."

"That's all your fault! Who told you to always be afraid that Pearl would go hungry and feed her so much?" Lin Nian glared at him. This father and son had a lot of little tricks up their sleeves. Once, they even went to the kitchen to stir-fry noodles in the middle of the night.

Yin Cheng looked up at the sky, feeling extremely guilty.

Lin Nian then picked out bamboo baskets with lotus designs, giving one to each of Pearl and Flower Moon.

That afternoon, Pearl received a feeding from her parents.

He took the sugar painting from his father's guard and ran happily to the imperial study to eat it with his uncle.

At this time, a major event also occurred in the capital.

The news that Prince Cheng had killed Prince Yiyang in the Golden Palace somehow leaked out and spread like wildfire throughout the city.

Some say that King Cheng was ambitious and wanted to kill all the collateral branches of the Yin clan; others say that King Yiyang and King Cheng fell in love with the same person, and he drew his sword for her, etc... There are many different opinions, and they are all quite outrageous.

When this news reached Yin Cheng's ears, rumors were already circulating that King Cheng was about to rebel and seize the throne.

After hearing the report from the secret guards, Yin Cheng was already quite calm and numb. He was quite familiar with the work of rebelling.

The other princes are either enjoying their lives or on their way to enjoying them.

He is either rebelling or on his way to rebelling.

Among these rumors, however, was a message deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives.

The Yin brothers' bloodline was impure! That's why they killed the Prince of Yiyang, in order to completely eliminate the last remaining members of the Yin royal family.

Such news could only have come from either the former subordinates of the Prince of Yiyang or the court officials who couldn't stand seeing Yin Mo become emperor.

After the first few fake rebellions, the court officials had come to their senses.

These two brothers have a great relationship; no matter how much mischief they try, they can't ruin their bond.

Right now, they'd love for the rumors to spread as wildly as possible; even if they couldn't deal with the two brothers, they could at least annoy them.

Ultimately, it all boils down to their inability to see a young man become emperor.

This was within Yin Mo's expectations. He didn't let his younger brother handle the matter, only saying that he would take care of it himself.

Two days later, news came from the Prince of Yiyang's residence that Prince Liu of Yiyang had committed suicide.

It is said that letters between Yi Yangwang and Yan Ru were found in Yi Yangwang's residence, confirming that Yi Yangwang was a traitor and a collaborator with the enemy.

Yin Cheng was stunned; his brother's sneak attack was truly ingenious.

From then on, all the rumors that were detrimental to the Yin brothers were completely disproven.

Many years later, Lin Nian learned from his own family that all the letters of treason and collusion in the Prince of Yiyang's mansion were forged by Lin San, and that his elder brother had sneaked in and hidden them in the middle of the night.

Ye Qingyu had originally embroidered a dragon robe, thinking that since the goal was to frame Prince Yiyang, the more crimes the better.

However, Lin San rejected it because the dragon robe made by his own uncle was not exquisite and looked fake.

The Yiyang Prince's Mansion contained not only secret letters of treason, but also clues about many aristocratic families' covert operations, which led to the exposure of most of the aristocratic families in Huzhou who were secretly helping the Yiyang Prince's Mansion.

Lin Nian was puzzled at the time, but Shen Qingheng told him that it was revenge for the bullying he suffered at the hands of Yin Shun back then.

His third brother had endured for years. Even if Yin Cheng hadn't killed Prince Yiyang in the Golden Palace, Prince Yiyang's mansion would still have been ruined.

After hearing this, Yin Cheng only said one sentence: "Their hearts are dirty when they play power games!"

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

Pearl stayed in the palace for half a month, and her fair skin became even smoother and more lustrous thanks to the care of the imperial kitchen.

Although Yin Mo was a boy and didn't like dressing up, he just happened to like dressing up Pearl.

Pearl, who originally only wore fine cotton brocade at home, was completely transformed by Yin Mo from head to toe once she entered the palace.

When Yin Cheng went to pick up his son, he almost didn't recognize that the rich young man dressed in gold and silver was his own chubby baby.

Pearl, still quite vain, asked, "Daddy, am I pretty good?"

Although his speech is still unclear, his chubby face is full of smugness. If you gave him a magic mirror, he would definitely ask who the most handsome boy in the world is.

Yin Cheng simply couldn't bear to look.

Pearl, hands on hips, looked displeased. "What do you mean, 'I'm not pretty'?"

"Beautiful." Yin Cheng transformed into an emotionless magic mirror. "Pearl, you are the most beautiful baby in the world."
