After Yinreng's Thoughts Are Overheard by Kangxi, Father and Son Share a Warm Bond

Ever since Kangxi discovered he could overhear Yinreng's inner thoughts, the father and son duo entered a mode filled with chaos along with a warm and filial relationship.

Yinreng wanted ...

Chapter 101 Mulan Paddock Hunting

Concubine Yi nodded in understanding. "Both Prince Yu's and Prince Chun's mansions have had difficulty in having children. Now that Prince Yu has a child, whether it's a boy or a girl, they will be pampered in the future."

Huanxi also nodded, "Who says not? Even though he's a child of a prince, he's not much worse than the princes in the palace. At least he's much better than the unpopular prince."

Concubine Yi thought of Yinqi, "Xiao Wu was raised very well by the Empress Dowager. If he were raised here in the palace, he might not be raised so well."

Huanxi was happy to see that Concubine Yi looked pretty good, and thought that she was not too sad about giving the child away, so she agreed.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager truly loves the Fifth Prince. Now that the Emperor is kind to you, and with the Empress Dowager's support, it will be much easier for you to get pregnant again in the future."

Concubine Yi touched her flat belly and said, "I hope so."

On the evening of April 7th, news came from Prince Yu's Mansion that his concubine, Guaerjia, had given birth to a little boy.

At the same time as the news came, there was also news that Prince Yu requested to be named the Crown Prince.

Kangxi naturally agreed, and then gave him generous rewards, only saying that the Ministry of Rites should take good care of the full moon celebration.

In the backyard of the study, Rongxian and Duanjing talked about this matter while taking a break.

"Second sister, Second Uncle has just asked to be named the Crown Prince. What should we do if the First Wife has a son in the future?"

Rong Xian thought for a moment and said, "Who knows? But since Second Uncle brought this up, it means the family has definitely discussed it."

Duan Jing nodded, drinking tea and looking at the sky.

"Didn't the Emperor say we'd go hunting in Mulan Paddock at the end of the month? We're sure we'll get a lot of prey this time."

Rong Xian also looked at the sky, "Yeah, we must have a good time this time."

She is already nine years old this year, and it will be time for her to get married in three or four years.

She had less and less time to play with her sisters. Sometimes she didn't even dare to think about it. Once she did, she would feel endless sadness.

The hunting date was changed from the end of April to the beginning of May, mainly for the full moon ceremony of Prince Yu.

The ancestor wanted the Ministry of Rites to handle it personally, so Kangxi changed the departure date to May 15th.

On the day of the full moon of the youngest son of Prince Yu's mansion, the crown prince and his brothers came to the mansion to congratulate him. Emperor Kangxi also attended in person and publicly named the youngest son Aisin-Gioro Baotai.

After the excitement, May 15th soon arrived.

The hunting trip was tentatively scheduled for half a month, and all the people in the harem except the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine were going.

Even the Queen Mother went there carrying Xiaowu.

Along the way, the two princesses had already become skilled in riding horses to compete with their brothers. Even Concubine Rong couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart when she saw her daughters' unrestrained and free-spirited look.

"Your Majesty, the Second Princess has become more free and easy-going now."

He obediently coaxed Yinzhi while talking to Rongfei.

Rong Fei lowered the carriage curtain and nodded with a smile. "Since returning from the Eastern Tour, this child's personality has changed a lot. It's not that he's completely cheerful, but... he's no longer as fearful and timid as before."

Ting He nodded, "After all, she is a princess of the Qing Dynasty, so she is naturally confident."

Rong Fei didn't say anything, but she didn't think so in her heart.

She knew that her daughter had been thinking about Fu Meng since she was old enough to understand. How could she want her daughter to be Fu Meng, but this was the fate of the Princess of Daqing, and no one could change it.

But after returning from this eastern tour, the daughter could not only talk calmly about Fu Meng, but also had some plans for her life after getting married.

This surprised her greatly.

Later I learned that the emperor had changed the direction of his teaching of the princesses, and the content of his teachings to them was exactly the same as that of his teaching to the prince.

She thought, since she knew some things were bound to happen, instead of feeling anxious and sad, she should be well prepared.

Rong Fei glanced at Yinzhi who was reading and asked softly, "Do you feel tired reading in a carriage?"

Without even looking up, Yinzhi said, "No."

"It's rare for us to come out and play, so why not take a look at the scenery outside? It's not too late to read again when we return to the palace."

Concubine Rong felt sorry for her child because he was always so hardworking.

"No. The teacher has taught me a lot of knowledge. If my son doesn't study hard, he will forget it when he returns to the palace."

As he was speaking, Yinreng's voice was heard outside the carriage.

"Xiao San, do you want to go out and ride a horse?"

Yinzhi suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted happily, "Yes."

Concubine Rong: ...

Yinreng glanced at Rong Fei and said, "I will bring Xiao San to play with me, please rest assured, Rong Fei."

Rong Fei naturally would not stop it. Which concubine would stop her son from being close to the prince?

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Prince."

After Yinreng took Yinzhi onto his horse, he raised his whip and chased Yinzhi in front.

The car curtain was lowered and Tinghe burst into laughter.

"I really thought that Third Prince was only interested in studying."

Rong Fei even smiled and shook her head, "That boy just wanted to go out riding, but he was young and embarrassed to ask his two brothers for help, so he just kept reading."

Ting He couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Yinzhi naturally had no idea that his mother was complaining about him. Sitting in front of Yinreng and feeling the breeze on his face, he felt so comfortable.

"Brother, riding a horse is so fun."

Yinzhi cried out with joy, and Yinreng smiled and patted his head.

When they reached the front of the team, they saw Xiao Si sitting in front of Yinzhi, while Rongxian and Duanjing were riding their horses.

"elder sister."

When Yinzhi saw Rongxian, he cheered and waved, "I want to go with my sister."

Rong Xian hastily refused, "With my current skills, I can't take you with me."

She had no problem riding by herself, but she didn't have the courage to take her brother with her.

It's not that my skills are not good enough, it's just that I simply don't have the courage.

What if my brother falls?

A group of children were galloping on horseback. Kangxi would lift the curtain of the carriage from time to time to take a look. He was happy to see his beloved son's unrestrained and free-spirited appearance from afar.

Along the way, he wanted Baocheng to get on his carriage countless times, but he couldn't help it every time.

He didn't want to trap Baocheng with the love between father and son or the etiquette between monarch and subject.

He was only eight years old, the right age to play with his brothers.

Since they were having fun, he shouldn't try to hinder them.

Kangxi silently lowered the curtain, feeling very disappointed.

Liang Jiugong, who was waiting on the side, had to be very cautious. Seeing Kangxi was silent, he asked tentatively, "The Fifth Prince is in the Empress Dowager's carriage now. If the Emperor feels bored, I can bring him here."

Kangxi glared at him. "Everyone knows that Xiaowu is accompanying the Queen Mother. Why are you still thinking of bringing him back? Are you trying to snatch the child from the Queen Mother?"

Liang Jiugong hurriedly apologized.

"That's not what I meant, my slave..."

"Alright, alright, let... Concubine Yi come over."
