As a result, Yinzhen, having come to terms with things, became a completely different person.

Today, when I left the Imperial Study, I ran into the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince playing around. I bumped into them. According to his usual temperament, he probably couldn't help but say a few words to them. Such behavior is not in accordance with the rules.

The two apologized somewhat nervously, waiting for him to scold them.

He simply said, "It's nothing serious, but be careful, it wouldn't be good if you bumped into something."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince almost thought that the person in front of them was their Eighth Brother in disguise, otherwise how could they have detected a hint of concern in his words?

Yinzhen didn't care, but he did intend to change. He used to speak formally, so this change in his manner gave them the illusion that he cared.

After saying this, Yinzhen left, leaving the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince looking at each other in bewilderment.

The Tenth Prince, known for his outspokenness, asked, "Has Fourth Brother taken the wrong medicine?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "Who knows! But it's fine this way too."

The Tenth Prince thought of his Fourth Brother, who used to love lecturing him, and thought that he was much better as he was now. However, he wondered, "Won't Fourth Brother change back?"

Ninth Prince: "How would I know? Let's see! Who knows if he's just playing a prank on us today?"

Yinzhen was unaware of the various speculations his two younger brothers had about him after he left. After listening to the teacher all day, he suddenly realized something. Perhaps because it was all a dream, he found the teacher's lectures unusually simple.

Things I used to find incomprehensible suddenly became clear, as if my meridians had been opened.

Yinzhen thought to himself, it was all a dream. Although it felt unreal, the benefits of studying had indeed been very helpful to him.

Emperor Kangxi paid close attention to his sons' studies and would inquire about them regularly. He then learned that Yinzhen was exceptionally gifted in his studies, able to apply his knowledge to new situations.

Yinzhen's studies weren't bad in the past, but with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince around, Yinzhen, while not bad among his many sons, wasn't particularly outstanding either.

The joy of his son's enlightenment only lasted a short while before he heard another story from the servants he had sent to take care of Yinzhen, and he began to worry again.

"Are you telling the truth?"

“What this servant says is absolutely true. Recently, the Fourth Prince has been searching for Buddhist scriptures everywhere, and from what this servant can see, the Fourth Prince seems to be interested in studying them in greater depth.”

This news made Emperor Kangxi uneasy. What was Yinzhen planning to do?
