Yinreng did not stay with Kangxi at night, but cleaned up Yinzhi's courtyard and moved in.

In the morning, Kangxi got up from bed and his personal guard helped him put on his clothes.

As for Liang Jiugong, he followed the southern tour team to cover for Kangxi and did not come along at all.

After washing up, Kangxi followed the guards' instructions and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Kangxi sat at the dining table, watching the guards put food on the table, and asked,

"Where's the prince?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ke, who was setting up the table, replied,

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet gotten up."

Yesterday afternoon, after Kangxi settled in, they got to know the surrounding environment, and the breakfast and dinner situations were naturally also within their knowledge.

There was a small kitchen in Yinreng's courtyard, and Kangxi also brought a chef with him. The only thing the guards needed to get was the ingredients.

When Zhuo Dan and others went to the military factory restaurant to get food, they took a look at the courtyard next door and found that it was dark inside and even the lights were not on.

The meal was ready in the small kitchen, but there was still no movement in the courtyard next door.

That's why Zhuo Dan was certain that the prince had not woken up yet.

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"He's tired from the journey, let him rest for a while."

"yes."

Zhuo Dan handed the chopsticks to Kangxi, then bent down to serve the food to Kangxi.

"Has anything major happened in the capital these days?"

Kangxi asked while eating breakfast.

"It's nothing serious, except that the Juercha family has made some jokes again."

"oh?"

When Kangxi heard this, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Dan explained the matter clearly in a few words.

It turned out that Juercha Yunzhang's legitimate wife and concubine had a quarrel. The reason was simply that Yunzhang favored the concubine over his wife and allowed the concubine's son to climb over his legitimate son and act tyrannically.

The legitimate wife could no longer tolerate this and, risking being completely disliked by Yun Zhang, beat her favorite concubine half to death in front of Yun Zhang's illegitimate son.

The bastard was frightened and had a high fever that wouldn't go away.

Yun Zhang wanted to open the ancestral hall to divorce his wife.

Kangxi had some impression of Juercha Yunzhang.

After all, the Juercha family had a great influence in the Bordered Blue Banner, and Yun Zhang was one of the heirs that the Juercha family focused on training. However, Kangxi had no impression of his wife.

In the 37th year, Kangxi stuffed Yinzhi and Yinzhi into the Bordered Blue Banner to divide the power of the Juercha family in the Bordered Blue Banner. Now that the eldest brother and the third brother have formed an alliance, the Juercha family will support the eldest brother.

Now Juercha Yunzhang can't escape the accusation of favoring his concubine and killing his wife. Is it... the work of the fourth and eighth brothers?

Kangxi was thinking in his mind, but his expression did not fluctuate at all.

My son has grown up and has his own little thoughts.

As long as the situation doesn't get out of hand, Kangxi doesn't want to get involved too much.

Moreover, for him, his checks and balances can only come in handy when the court is in chaos.

If the court remained stagnant from beginning to end, he would sleep uneasily.

After finishing breakfast, Kangxi began to review memorials and waited for Yinreng to come and pay his respects.

Half an hour later, Yinreng finally came to pay his respects to him.

Kangxi looked at Yinreng who looked like he was still asleep and felt very angry.

"Look at what time it is now! If we were in the capital, you would have woken up after the morning court session was over! If I were as lazy as you, the Qing Dynasty would be doomed!"

Yinreng curled his lips and said nothing, but he was complaining in his heart.

"It's not good to die. I'm going to die sooner or later anyway..."

Kangxi's eyes widened, and the anger in his body burst out immediately.

He stared at Yinreng closely, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

If Kangxi hadn't had some sense left, he would have wanted to chop Yinreng with a knife right now.

Is what he said something that a member of the Aisin-Gioro family should say?!

"What's your attitude? Do you think I shouldn't say that to you?!"

"You are right. It is my son who is lazy."

Yinreng spoke in a flat tone, as if he was completely unaware of Kangxi's attitude.

"Isn't it just that I got up an hour late? What's going on? Is this old Deng trying to feed me poison again? Tsk... It's not impossible. Anyway, there are not many people in this world who are close to me. I'll just die..."

“Bang!”

Kangxi broke the brush in his hand, and at the same time, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on him, which completely washed away the anger in his heart.

"emperor!"

Zhuo Dan hurried forward to check Kangxi's fingers. Kangxi came back to his senses and gently waved his hand at Zhuo Dan.

"I'm fine..."

Kangxi looked at Yinreng, who was also pretending to be concerned, and suddenly felt a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.

Before today, Kangxi always thought that Yinreng did not build connections in the court and did not get too close to others, all to reassure him.

But it was not until now that he understood that Yinreng did this in order to avoid implicating more people when he was executed.

I can’t describe how it feels.

Kangxi felt like his heart was filled with a pound of cotton, choking him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Does this mean that Yinreng was certain from the very beginning that he would eventually die at his hands?

Kangxi sat there for a long time, and finally asked Yinreng calmly,

"Have you had breakfast?"

“I have.”

Kangxi nodded.

"Then take me to the factory to have a look."

"yes."

Yinreng turned around and went out to lead the way for Kangxi.

As soon as Kangxi went out, he saw a tricycle with a peculiar shape.

Yinreng motioned him to sit down and introduced him,

"The military factory is so large that it's inconvenient to take a carriage up and down. So my son built this to make it easier to travel."

Kangxi had not yet recovered from his previous emotions, and seeing this, he did not say much and sat down as Yinreng indicated.

After he sat firmly, the man holding the handlebars also sat on it and prepared to pedal to the east factory, but Zhuo Dan and others were not happy -

“Bold!”

The master who was riding the bicycle was startled and immediately stopped, looking at Zhuo Dan with a blank expression.

Yinreng also looked over.

"What's wrong?"

Zhuo Dan pointed at the master who was pedaling the bicycle and said with an ugly face,

"How can he be on equal footing with His Majesty?"

Yinreng: “…”

"Wow, this is really good! I thought only old Cixi would have such concerns, but I didn't expect it to be a common practice! Damn, these people must have tumors stuck between their ears! Do you have to kneel down to ride a bike to be respectful?"

Kangxi's face darkened when he heard this. He glared at Zhuo Dan secretly and said,

"This bike is pedaled, that's all. I'm not that particular!"

Zhuo Dan wanted to say something, but Kangxi stopped him with a look and he had to give up.

"Let's go!"

At Kangxi's command, the tricycle slowly started moving.
