Hongxi died during the Qianlong era. In one lifetime, he was reborn and returned to the time when he was a baby.
Living again, he decided to use the information he had gathered from his past ...
Yinreng ignored Yinti and continued eating and drinking on his own.
Not long after, Wenying rushed in from outside in a panic. "Your Highness, please go back to your chambers and see what's wrong."
The people who were still eating and drinking in the main hall were all awakened.
The fact that the Crown Princess's head maid rushed in at this moment must mean that something was going on in the inner palace.
But His Highness the Crown Prince has been sitting here the whole time. What could possibly happen in the inner courtyard?
Yinqi stared blankly at Wenying, "What could possibly happen in the bedchamber? What kind of behavior is this, all this panic?"
Wenying was pale, but dared not say a word. She just looked at Yinreng with a pleading expression.
Yinreng knew what was going on, but he pretended to be puzzled.
"Let's go." Yinreng got up and was about to leave, but he didn't forget to call Yinti to come along as he passed by.
Yinti wasn't interested in joining in the fun, but he was happy to see Yinreng make a fool of himself.
Thus, led by the two brothers, a large group of people entered Yinreng's bedchamber.
As soon as they entered, they saw the Crown Princess Guarjia sitting angrily in the main seat, Consort Hai kneeling on the ground with disheveled clothes, and Yinzhen fast asleep on the bed.
Yinti sobered up instantly. He looked at Consort Hai and Yintang several times, seemingly still not understanding what was going on.
Yinreng could guess what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and cursed him inwardly for being brainless, so he stopped making things difficult for him.
Anyway, I brought him here just to be a witness; I didn't really expect him to do anything.
"Your Highness." As soon as Yinreng entered, Lady Guarjia stood up and walked forward, pointing at Consort Hai kneeling on the ground, trembling with anger.
"I thought Your Highness had been brought back drunk, so I brought some hangover soup to serve you. But when I came in, I saw Consort Hai and Ninth Brother in bed..."
Guarjia was so angry that she trembled all over, and looked like she couldn't continue speaking.
"This Consort Hai is Father Emperor's person. How could she appear in His Highness's bedroom and act like this with Ninth Brother?"
Yinti finally understood.
He blinked and glanced at Consort Hai, then looked at Yinzhen and noticed that the other man's clothes were open, but judging from his drunken state, he probably couldn't do anything.
In a flash, his mind, as sharp as a rock, actually came to a realization.
She raised her foot and kicked Hai Guiren, saying, "You bitch, did you mistake the Ninth Prince for the Second Prince? Otherwise, why would you be in the Second Prince's bedchamber?"
The sudden action startled Yinreng, and the words that Guarjia had in her throat were swallowed back by Yinti's actions.
She had come specifically to "catch them in the act" because she had received a message from He Yuzhu. Although Yinreng's message wasn't as detailed, she understood what was going on when Yintang tried to get Yinreng drunk.
They initially thought it was a scheme set up for Yinzhen, but unexpectedly they met Consort Hai instead.
The moment Lady Guarjia saw Consort Hai, she felt a cold sweat break out all over her body. If it weren't for Yinreng's precautions, things might have gotten complicated today.
Sure enough, before Yinreng could say anything, Kangxi led Liang Jiugong inside.
Guarjia swallowed hard and silently retreated to a corner.
Yinti originally wanted to kick him again, but stopped when he saw the old man come in.
As soon as Kangxi entered, he saw Consort Hai lying on the ground, her clothes disheveled, with a large footprint on her nightgown.
"What's going on?" Kangxi asked, frowning.
Hai Guiren immediately perked up, slumped to the ground, and began to sob.
"Your Majesty, I was forced by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yinti kicked him again, sending him flying and crashing hard into the corner of the table.
Kangxi instinctively closed his eyes, then glared at Yinti with a reproachful look, "Eldest son, get out of here!"
Yinqi was not afraid of Kangxi, especially since he was still a bit muddle-headed and didn't take those words to heart.
Pointing at Consort Hai, he cursed, "Open your dog eyes and look! The one you stripped naked in bed is the Ninth Prince, Yin Tang. The Crown Prince you're talking about forcing is standing here. I'm just wondering, how did you get into the palace if your eyesight is so bad? Did you secretly slip some silver in to sneak in?"
Yinreng couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Kangxi was too embarrassed to look.
Consort Hai was indeed placed there by someone, with the aim of winning Kangxi's favor and then framing Yinreng.
But she didn't expect that what happened today would be different from what she planned. When she realized that the person lying on the bed was not Yinreng, her first reaction was to flee the scene. But the Crown Princess arrived too quickly and pinned her to the ground without giving her a chance to cry.
She had finally waited for Kangxi to arrive, but before she could finish speaking, she was kicked away by that brute, Yinqi.
She has no mind to explain herself now.
She felt pain all over her body, inside and out, as if her body was falling apart.
“Father, this Consort Hai is dishonest and full of lies.”
Kangxi pointed at the incessantly talking Yinti and immediately cursed, "You unfilial son, get out of here!"
Yinti finally regained some composure. He glanced at Consort Hai, who was lying on the ground rolling her eyes, and then at Yinreng, who was trying hard to suppress his laughter. In the end, he left the palace with a face full of resentment.
When Li Zhong saw his master being scolded, he originally wanted to say a few words of advice, but when he looked up, he found that his master's face not only did not show any anger, but also a sense of relaxed ease.
"Master, aren't you angry?" When did his master's temper become so good?
Yinti chuckled, "Your Highness did it on purpose. That Consort Hai was clearly setting a trap for the Second Prince. The Second Prince must have sensed it, which is why he dragged Your Highness here to watch the show."
In the past, he might not have gone to such lengths for Yinreng.
But now...
He could sense the change in Yinreng's attitude towards him, which had gradually shifted from more than twenty years of confrontation to trust and relaxation.
At first, he was not used to this change, but now he suddenly felt that it was good to have such an outstanding younger brother to inherit the throne.
He knew he wasn't very bright, and even if he managed to get the position, he might not be able to do it well.
He was just resentful that even though they were all sons, Emperor Kangxi would favor the second son so much.
“My lord, although Consort Hai is suspected of framing the Crown Prince, her inexplicable appearance in His Highness’s bedchamber is a serious matter. If word gets out, the ministers of the previous dynasty might impeach the Crown Prince.”
Yinti kicked a pebble at his feet. "That's something the second prince has to sort out. Does he think the master is his servant and will do everything for him?"
Li Zhong dared not reply and could only follow his master silently.
Inside the bedchamber, Yinreng sat leisurely drinking tea, with Guarjia standing behind him. Kangxi looked at Consort Hai, who had been dragged forward, with a gloomy expression. Yintang had already been woken up by Liang Jiugong and his men splashing three basins of water on him.
