Concubine Hui never expected that such a big piece of cake would fall on her head while attending the New Year's Eve palace banquet today. She immediately knelt down in joy to express her gratitude.

After thanking the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi, he did not forget to stand up and bow to Yinreng. Although he did not say much, his gratitude was beyond words.

Yinreng nodded at her as a return gesture.

Empress Hui has always had good intentions, but since she's supporting the eldest prince, it's inevitable that she might have some ambitions to fight for the throne. However, she's never made a move against the other princes, which makes her much better than others.

Kangxi was quite thoughtful after hearing this.

It is normal to have conflicts in the harem, and any concubine who has a prince will want to compete with him.

But how to fight?

Killing someone else's son for the sake of your own son is vicious.

But blindly urging one's son on just to fight for the throne is called diligence.

Kangxi glanced at Concubine Hui and saw that her face was full of pride and joy. She was a person who could express all her emotions clearly. No wonder she was so simple-minded.

When Concubine Hui was promoted, Mingzhu's party immediately became active.

More and more ministers gathered around them, and Soetu's face looked very ugly.

After three rounds of drinks, Yinreng finally remembered his uncle and immediately searched the crowd for him.

It didn't matter that he looked at me. The old man drank alone with a wronged look, and from time to time he glared at Mingzhu who was surrounded by people.

Yinreng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

My uncle was always thinking big for me, but unfortunately, in his previous life, he was starved to death by the Emperor because he was trying to protect me. In my next life, I will never let my uncle make the same mistake.

Kangxi's eyes immediately swept towards Soetu, only to see that the other party was drinking and glaring at Mingzhu, which was really unbearable to watch.

"Soetu."

Kangxi called out, and Suo Etu immediately stood up with a start, "I am here."

Kangxi waved at him. Suo Etu stepped forward quickly, confused, and said, "Your Majesty."

Kangxi patted Yinreng's little head, pointed at Soetu and said, "Your uncle is truly sincere to you."

When Soetu heard this, he immediately knelt down with tears and snot all over his face.

Yinreng jumped down from Kangxi's arms, walked steadily to Soetu, patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "I know that my uncle is thinking only of me, but you are a minister of the Qing Dynasty, so you must learn to be loyal to the emperor."

Suo Etu was startled for a moment, then kowtowed with tears streaming down his face. "I will remember the teachings of Your Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, I will put the country first and be loyal to the emperor."

Kangxi felt very comforted when he saw the appearance of the little master Yinreng.

He believed that Yinreng's words were a warning based on what Soetu had done in his previous life. Although he didn't know what Soetu had done in his previous life to be starved to death by him, Yinreng's ability to warn him was a sign of respect for himself.

"Soetu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good intentions for you."

Suo Etu knelt down to express his gratitude, "I will serve Your Highness the Crown Prince well and will never let Your Highness down."

Yinreng was speechless.

"I am the crown prince, why do I need you to serve me? You should serve the emperor, the loyal monarch."

Soetu was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

"I am confused. In the future I will definitely..."

"Okay, okay." Kangxi couldn't bear to see Soetu's confused state.

This old guy's heart and eyes are all about Baocheng. I'm afraid he might even rebel against me for Baocheng.

"It's a rare auspicious day, so why not have a drink with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

As soon as Kangxi gave the order, a palace maid immediately handed Soetu a glass of wine, and Liang Jiugong immediately handed the rose water to Yinreng.

Yinreng looked at the overly happy Soetu, and he had so much to say that he couldn't express it in his throat. In the end, he just clinked his glass with him and drank it all in one gulp.

Soetu put aside his previous grievances, glared at Mingzhu with great interest, and then returned to his seat.

Yinreng was really embarrassed to see this.

Just sit back and enjoy yourself, why are you glaring at Mingzhu?

Do you think people pay attention to you? -_-||

Everyone had their own thoughts while eating the meal, but Yinreng enjoyed the meal very much under the care of Kangxi.

After dinner, Kangxi carried Yinreng and sent Xiaozhuang back to the Cining Palace, and then took a sedan chair back to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as the father and son got off the sedan chair, they saw a little man standing at the door of the hall.

"Brother?"

"Bao Qing?"

Both father and son spoke together.

Yinzhen, who was frozen stiff, walked towards the two of them tremblingly and said tremblingly, "Your son pays his respects to... Your Majesty..."

Upon seeing this, Kangxi immediately kicked the guard at the palace gate and said, "You bastard, why don't you let the eldest prince in? It's so cold, what if he gets frozen?"

All the guards guarding the door knelt down, but no one dared to explain.

There's no way, this is the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Except for the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who can enter without His Majesty's permission, everyone else needs to be notified before entering.

Yinreng struggled to get out of Kangxi's arms, and only then did he see clearly that there was a layer of frost on Yinzhi's eyebrows. He was so angry that he glared fiercely at Li Zhong who was following behind him. He wanted to curse a few words, but when he saw that the other's lips were frozen purple, he swallowed the words back.

As a last resort, Yinreng led Yinzhi directly into the house, then turned around and told He Yuzhu, "Take Li Zhong downstairs to drink some ginger tea."

He Yuzhu took Li Zhong away, and Liang Jiugong quickly arranged for people to serve ginger tea to the three masters, and at the same time added two more pots of charcoal fire in the inner hall.

Yinreng had a sour look on his face. It was Kangxi who helped him take off his fur hat and cloak. He turned around and helped Yinzhi do the same.
