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 ...
After resting for a few days, Yinreng went to class again. Because Li Guangdi went to Fujian, the main teacher was now Tang Bin.
He was a Neo-Confucianist, and what he said was somewhat different from what Li Guangdi said, but it was very interesting.
That day, Yinreng finished class early and planned to go to the study to see what others were learning.
At this time in the Shangshufang, the eldest son had returned to the military camp early and naturally did not study in the palace. The children below the third child were still young and did not need to come. There were only two princesses in the palace, and the rest were children of the royal family and the children of some important officials.
Yinreng looked around at the door and found that the two princesses were not in the classroom. He asked the palace servants here with some confusion.
"In reply to your Highness, the two princesses originally attended classes together here, but after returning from their Eastern Tour, the Emperor ordered a separate classroom to be opened for the two princesses and also arranged separate teachers, stating that the princesses would all study separately when they grew up."
Yinreng frowned.
In his impression, whether in the previous life or this life, Kangxi was not the kind of person who liked to make a fuss about taboos between men and women. Why did he suddenly think of studying separately?
"Take me to see the princesses."
The palace servant led the way respectfully, and after passing the front yard, they went straight into the back yard. When they got closer, they could hear the teacher's voice.
Yinreng waved his hand to signal the palace servants not to inform them. He stood at the door and looked at the scene inside the house. It was spacious and bright, and the layout and furnishings were completely different from the style of the front yard. It was obvious that it was prepared for the princesses.
The two princesses were currently listening to the teacher's lecture with their heads tilted back, and they didn't even notice there were people standing outside.
After listening to the teacher's lecture for a while, Yinreng's frown gradually relaxed, and he was even a little surprised at Kangxi's decisiveness and courage.
The reason is that the teacher did not teach the princesses the Four Books and Five Classics, but how to govern the country.
Some of the content is similar to what he taught in class, except that the teacher will analyze the situation for the princess based on the actual situation in Mongolia.
Yinreng understood instantly that the emperor was training the princesses to be the future rulers of Mongolia.
Although Mongolia was not as powerful as the Qing Dynasty, the knowledge it had learned was not much different from that of the prince.
Although the affairs of the Mongolian tribes are not as complicated as those of the Qing Dynasty, if the princess who marries there is completely in the dark and knows nothing, let alone whether the people will listen to your arrangements, it would be a good thing if she doesn't get cheated by them.
If you still want to be in power, you can dream on.
Thinking of this, Yinreng once again admired the Fourth Princess in his heart.
As princesses raised in the Qing Dynasty, the fourth sister was able to quickly take charge of a government without any active teaching. This is something that should not be underestimated.
If he were a man, he would probably be no worse than me.
He sat in the yard for a while, with no intention of disturbing their class. It was not until the class was over that the palace servants went in to report that the Crown Prince had arrived.
The two princesses came out with their teacher and everyone in the palace to pay their respects, but Yinreng just smiled and waved his hand.
"I was surprised by what the teacher said to the princesses just now. Is this what the Emperor intended?"
The teacher stepped forward nervously and replied, "To answer your Highness, the Emperor is saying that the princesses will be serving the Mongols in the future. To protect them from being bullied and even to establish power, they must start learning how to manage the tribe from now on. They must also study the Mongol economy, transportation, food, etiquette, and other subjects in detail."
Yinreng wanted to laugh. The emperor was aiming to take power directly by marrying a princess.
"Everything will be done according to the Emperor's request."
After saying that, he looked at the two princesses again, "What do you think, second sister and third sister?"
The two of them smiled and nodded in unison.
Rong Xian said, "This kind of course may sound a little unbelievable, but when I think about how it will be closely related to my future life, it's not hard to learn."
Duan Jing also nodded, "Yes, it's better than learning palace rules and the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Yinreng laughed. She was indeed a princess of the Qing Dynasty. Her vision and knowledge were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"I haven't seen Xiao San for a long time. Let's go with Second Sister to see her."
Everyone came out together, so Duan Jing naturally couldn't go back to Changchun Palace halfway, so she followed the two of them to Xianfu Palace.
When the three arrived at Xianfu Palace, Rong Fei was not in the palace, so they went directly to the side hall to visit Yinzhi.
At this time, Yinzhi was writing big characters, and the teacher was watching and guiding him. Every time he finished writing a character, he would point out some advantages and disadvantages.
The teacher spoke very seriously and Yinzhi listened very attentively.
After listening, he continued writing without any impatience.
Yinreng looked very pleased.
He is worthy of being the literary leader among his brothers. His patience alone is beyond the reach of ordinary brothers.
It was not until the palace servants in the hall discovered Yinreng kneeling on the ground that Yinzhi looked out the window.
"Second brother..."
Yinzhi threw down his brush and ran over happily, throwing himself directly into Yinreng's arms. "Why did Second Brother come to see me so suddenly?"
Yinreng wanted to pick up Xiaosan, but found that the boy was growing a little too fast and was a little heavy, so he had no choice but to rub his head instead.
"Second brother missed Xiao San, so he came to see what Xiao San was doing."
Yinzhi took Yinreng's hand and walked into the room. He glanced at the teacher who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Teacher, please stand up."
The teacher didn't dare to move.
Yinreng said, "Get up. This is Xianfu Palace. Just listen to the Third Prince."
The teacher thanked En and stood up, but he was also very considerate and stood a little further away.
Yinzhi pointed to the large characters he had written and showed them to Yinreng, "Second brother, this is what I wrote, okay?"
Yinreng took a closer look and found that it was actually better than what his eldest brother wrote.
"Well, our Xiao San writes really well. Since you love reading and writing so much, why don't you become a Grand Secretary in the Hanlin Academy in the future?"
Yinzhi didn't know what the Hanlin Academy was, nor what a Grand Secretary did, but he felt that since his second brother had mentioned it, it must be a good place.
So I nodded decisively.
This scene was seen by Rong Fei, who had just rushed back, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as Rong Fei spoke, everyone turned around to look.
"You're welcome, Empress Rong."
Yinreng turned his body to the side, thus avoiding Rong Fei's greeting.
"I just went to Sister Hui's place, and when I came back I learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Princess had arrived. Since they are here, let's have dinner in Xianfu Palace. I will arrange for someone to prepare it right away."
Yinreng waved his hand and said, "I plan to take my brothers and sisters to the Palace of Heavenly Purity for dinner. It has been a long time since we have eaten with the Emperor. Let's use the pot together tonight."
Rong Fei knew that Yinreng intended to let the children show their faces in front of the emperor.
