"Big Brother"

“Brother, the children are over there. They have one table, and we brothers have one. You can just have someone take the children over there,” Yin Zhi said, pointing to the small open space in front of him.

Before Yinzhi could make a move, someone had already come over and led the children over.

Yinzhi didn't follow, but looked at Yinzhen and Yinzhi: "Do you know why Ming's mother held this banquet this time? I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it." At this time, Li Yinzhi was no longer the same Yinzhi as before. Now he was full of wisdom, but he didn't understand these things very well.

Yinzhen and Yinzhi exchanged a glance, then shook their heads: "I'm not quite sure, but when I came out, I felt that my wife's expression was a bit off, as if she knew something, but she just wouldn't say anything."

Yin Zhi chimed in from the side, "Yes, my wife is the same way, but she treats me rather strangely these days, so I haven't paid much attention to it."

As soon as Yinzhi finished speaking, both Yinzhen and Yinzhi rolled their eyes at him. Why did your wife treat you like that? It's because you're always so irresponsible, bringing people into the mansion all the time. No wonder she doesn't like it.

Seeing the identical expressions on their faces, Yin Zhi was so angry he didn't even want to speak anymore: "You two, don't go too far. Let me tell you, although I didn't get the news from my wife, I went to the palace to see my mother a couple of days ago and learned some things. Do you two still want to know?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me what you know. Do you think I don't want to know?" Yin Zhi said irritably.

"That's right, Third Brother, tell us quickly if you have any news, and we won't laugh at you anymore." Yinzhen was also curious.

"Hmph," Yin Zhi snorted coldly, finally unable to hold back and began to speak, mainly because this matter was related to him: "When I went there that day, I saw the maidservant beside Consort Ming go to my mother. My mother talked with that maidservant for a long time. When she left, my mother looked very happy. I asked her quietly at the time, and it seemed that they were talking about things from when we were young, but I don't know the specifics."

"That's it, that's it. You asked all those questions, couldn't you have asked more clearly? What a waste." Yinzhi was even angrier. Of all the things he asked, the most important ones hadn't been explained clearly. It was really infuriating.

"That's right, Third Brother, why didn't you ask more questions?" A series of voices suddenly came from behind.

The three of them were startled and quickly turned around, only to see that many of their younger brothers had appeared behind them at some point.

Everyone looked at Yinzhi with curiosity. Yintang spoke up, "Third brother, hurry up and tell us, is there any other news? We are all very curious."

Now it was Yinzhi's turn to roll his eyes: "What are you saying? If it were easy to find out, wouldn't I have found out? It's just that my mother came out later and forbade me to say anything, so I couldn't find out." What could Yinzhi do? He was curious too, but when he went to ask again, everyone in the palace had already been instructed by his mother, so he couldn't get any information out of them.

"Oh dear," everyone sighed in disappointment. Yinzhi, Yintang, and Yinzhi had come together. They were all around the same age and had grown up together, so they were very close. They had just arrived and immediately huddled together, still wondering what the purpose of their visit was. Then they heard Yinzhi's words and came to listen, but they found nothing.

"It's alright, it's alright. It'll start soon anyway, and we'll find out then," Yinzhi said gently. In this life, he wasn't raised by Consort Hui, and there were few children in the palace. Although he was raised by Consort Xi, he was well taken care of. Not to mention, he also had his own mother by his side. His personality was more cheerful than before, but he was still very gentle.

“That’s true, but we’ve been here for so long, why haven’t we started yet? I’m starving,” Yinzhi said loudly.

"Wait a moment, no rush. If you're hungry, eat something else first. Right now, we're definitely waiting for the Emperor and Father to come over," Yinzhi said, tugging at Yinzhi's sleeve.

As soon as Yinzhi finished speaking, Yinreng and Kangxi arrived.

Mingxiu had actually arrived long ago and had everything prepared, but she didn't really want to chatter with so many princes, so she hadn't come out until she saw them arrive.

"Greetings, Your Majesty"

"Your subject has met with Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Consort Jia!" The group quickly bowed as they saw Emperor Kangxi and Yinreng approaching.

"Alright, get up. Today is a family gathering, so there aren't many rules. Just do what you normally would," Kangxi said to everyone, then pulled Mingxiu to sit down beside him.

Yinreng stood by with a smile, watching. Although he was the emperor, he didn't need to take charge of the overall situation today.

"There's nothing much going on today, but I was just thinking that it's been a long time since we've all seen each other. It just so happens that your Consort Jia is back, so let's all get together and eat and drink to our hearts' content. Many of the dishes here are things that your Consort Jia saw when she went out of the palace for a trip. She thought they were delicious, so she asked the Imperial Kitchen to make them. Please try them and see if they suit your tastes," Kangxi said, and then began to pick up chopsticks and serve food to Mingxiu.

Seeing that Emperor Kangxi had already started eating, everyone began to eat as well.

As for the children's table next to it, I'm sorry, Mingxiu is still being biased. They've already started eating over there. They're all little kids, at the age when they should be eating. What if they get hungry?

The meal was indeed delicious, and everyone enjoyed it. After everyone finished eating, Mingxiu had the children called over, and then, looking at so many people, she said with a smile, "Our Emperor Father has been away from home a lot lately and hasn't come back often. Since he has some free time this time, why don't you all play a little game? It can also strengthen the bond between you father and son."

Although Mingxiu said this with a smile, everyone who heard it was sweating bullets, feeling that this might not be so funny.

But the children didn't know that they had just eaten a delicious meal and snacks, and were in a happy mood. Plus, they were surrounded by a bunch of friends, so even if one or two of them were scared, they were having a great time.

"Okay, okay, I love playing games the most."

"Me too, me too. I was the best at playing games when I was in school."
