Chapter Ninety-Six
The three little ones had no idea why they were so miserable; their father was so cruel to them.
I don't know if it's because I find them too cute, but I can't live without them, so I've made them learn a whole bunch of things.
The Three Character Classic is one thing, they can just read it twice with swaying heads, but... but they also have to learn horse stance? Waaaaah...
When they returned to Yuqing Palace that evening, the three chubby little feet were trembling. "Mother, my feet are sore."
She stretched out her chubby feet in front of her mother, acting coquettishly.
"Then let's take a hot bath and have someone give you a massage." Jialuo knew what the three chubby boys had been up to. When it came to teaching children, Jialuo completely trusted Kangxi and Baocheng.
After all, she didn't understand how Bao Cheng could be taught to be so outstanding. Naturally, Jia Luo trusted the other party's educational methods. Moreover, her thoughts were different from those of people at that time, and she didn't want her own child to suffer so much.
"Mother, Hongxuan misses you. Hongxuan wants to spend time with you tomorrow..." Hongxuan is not a hardworking child; he just wants to play happily every day with his gold and silver jewelry.
“Mother, me too.” Hongyang immediately understood what his younger brother was thinking. He didn’t want to read the Three Character Classic anymore either. Waaah, it wasn’t fun at all.
Hongtun, who loves reading but doesn't like practicing horse stance, also wanted to stick close to his mother. "Father, I don't want to miss you anymore. Go away. I only want Mother."
"Mother, Mother, me too..." The soft, childlike voice pleaded, tinged with a little shyness, but it just wouldn't leave Jialuo's side.
With Yinreng being such an intelligent person, and the little baby not being able to hide the expression on his face, how could he not understand what they were trying to express?
"Alright, when the time comes, you will recite the Three Character Classic to your mother. You must memorize the entire text." Yinreng raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent.
These past few days, the three chubby babies have been exhausted from practicing horse stance in the afternoons. After returning to Yuqing Palace for a meal and a bath, they fall fast asleep, without even having time to play with Jialuo.
Yinreng, who had delegated all his affairs to his three younger brothers, has recently found himself with a bit more free time and has more time to spend with his Crown Princess.
"Jialuo, I'll take you out of the palace to play tomorrow." Yinreng seemed to sense the Crown Princess's boredom and decided to hand over the three chubby babies to his fourth son. Want to go out of the palace to play? Go ahead, play with your fourth uncle.
I heard that the fourth son personally took the two children to the front yard to raise them. The second son was said by the imperial physician to be destined to die young, but they both survived.
It can only be said that the fourth son cares much more about his son than he does about himself.
"Okay, where should we go?" Upon hearing that Yinreng said they could go out of the palace to play, he immediately agreed, forgetting everything else.
"Let's go to the estate." We can stroll around the main streets of the capital first, or if that doesn't suit us, a boat trip would be fine too...
"A boat trip is fine too, if you'd like." Yinreng was a man who respected his wife greatly, and he was willing to do anything to take the Crown Princess out for a trip and make her happy.
"What can we do at the estate?" Jialuo looked at the man in front of her with bright eyes. She knew that Yinreng would definitely make arrangements.
[He's truly my man; everything he does is so amazing!]
The praised Yinreng smiled elegantly, his noble and self-possessed demeanor still able to captivate his Crown Princess. "I have just acquired an estate with a vast grassland where I can gallop on horseback."
This grassland was bought by a Mongolian princess of the imperial clan. She had always loved it, but recently her family was short of funds, so she sold it.
"Grassland? Horseback riding? Boat trip?" Jialuo's little yellow head immediately thought of two things: horseback sex, boat sex?
Isn't that a bit too much? Ahem, her noble and elegant Crown Prince is definitely not such a dissolute person.
Hearing the Crown Princess's words, Yinreng was somewhat puzzled. Horseback riding, boat riding? Did she doubt his stability? Or was she afraid of falling off the horse and into the river?
But the next sentence made Yinreng realize that what he had thought meant was not what the Crown Princess meant.
Exciting? Debauched?
He fell silent. Yinreng still remembered the first thought that crossed the Crown Princess's mind when she saw him, and that bold and straightforward thought never stopped afterward.
Therefore, if Yinreng followed this bold and straightforward idea, he seemed to understand something, but he still couldn't believe that the Crown Princess would dare to think such a thing!
In broad daylight, with so many people around, what do they think he is? A spoiled brat? The kind who frequents brothels?
But for some reason, I still imagined that scene in my mind; it was indeed quite exciting.
"Either is fine, it depends on your preference." I wonder which one the Crown Princess prefers? If it were possible... no, it could never happen in the future, it absolutely cannot happen. One of them is the Crown Prince, and the other is the Crown Princess, the future mother of the nation.
"Can't we both go?" Jialuo still hoped that she could go out and have more fun. Horseback riding in the morning and boating in the afternoon, and she could also see the sunset. What was that poem about sunset, by the lake...?
Jialuo, who was on the cassette tape, withdrew her intention to recite a poem, thinking, "It's my fault for being uncultured; all I can say is 'Holy crap'."
This resentment made Yinreng chuckle as he reached out and ruffled his Crown Princess's hair. So cute, his Crown Princess was always so cute, no matter what.
“Alright, then let’s go boating in the morning and horseback riding in the afternoon. There’s still dew in the morning, so the grassland might still be wet.” Yinreng thought for a moment and gave his suggestion.
Jialuo nodded, overjoyed at the prospect of going out to play, and didn't care whether to play in the morning or the afternoon first.
That very evening, Yinzhen received a wonderful gift from his beloved second brother: three chubby little buns.
The eunuch in charge of guarding the gate of the Prince Yong's mansion was at a loss for words when he saw the person in front of him who claimed to be from Yuqing Palace and had brought three young princes. He had never been to the palace before, so he naturally did not know whether the three people in front of him were the young princes.
But he dared not gamble. "Please, please wait a moment, this servant will go and report to the prince."
Why did they come at this time? It's dark, what's the point of delivering this? And the clothes they're wearing aren't the fine silks and satins that ordinary people can wear.
this……
When Prince Yong, Yinzhen, heard the report from his subordinates, he felt as if they were joking. Sending three young imperial grandsons over so late at night? To Yuqing Palace? Had the Crown Prince gone mad, or had the Crown Princess gone mad?
Without hesitation, he strode out. If he really brought those three children over, he couldn't let them stand outside the door. What stupid lackeys!
Knowing they were the youngest prince, they should have invited them in...
At first, Yinzhen suspected that someone was trying to fool him, but because the matter was too important, he had to come in person to see if he wouldn't teach the person who dared to fool him a lesson...
Then, he saw three short, chubby little babies standing there, calling him "Fourth Uncle" in a soft voice. At that moment, the cold aura around him dissipated considerably.
"Why did you all come here? This is ridiculous." It's so late, and you still don't want to go back to the palace? What is the Crown Prince thinking? How can you entrust three children to him so easily?
"Fourth Uncle, we're not fooling around. We've come to play with our little brother." Hongxuan shook his head. They were fed up with the daily routine of reciting texts in the morning and practicing horse stance in the afternoon. Their mother not only didn't help them, but instead aided and abetted them.
“Yes, I want to play with my little brother.” Hongyang wanted to soak his feet with his mother, but his father teased him, saying his feet weren’t as big as a Batu Lu’s. He got angry.
"Fourth Uncle, Father sent us to visit you. Please play with us tomorrow." Hongtun was a little shy. "Fourth Uncle, we apologize for bothering you."
What could Yinzhen do in front of the chubby, soft-looking little boy? Scold him? Give him a cold look? He could only soften his expression and say, "Come in."
Raising his eyes, he coldly looked at the numerous nannies and servants following behind the three young princes, "Why did the Crown Prince allow them to come here?"
If someone's going crazy, it shouldn't be in the middle of the night.
"Your Highness, His Highness said that you have worked hard these past few days, and you will have a day off tomorrow," the servant replied respectfully.
It's like a deal: help me take care of the kids, and I'll give you a day off.
But... Yinzhen understood. He asked me to take a break and help take care of the children. He glanced at the three chubby kids staring at him expectantly and didn't refuse. "I understand."
The eunuch in front of me is from Yuqing Palace. After bringing the three chubby boys here, he still has to go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Fourth Uncle, where's my brother?" Hongyang hadn't forgotten that he hadn't met his fourth uncle's younger brother yet.
“It’s inside the house. Come on, your fourth uncle will take you there…” He reached out and pulled them towards the front yard.
At this moment, Yinreng successfully sent the three little troublemakers away. Tomorrow, he and the Crown Princess would leave the palace, and their father would not be there. The three mischievous chubby boys were not so well-behaved.
If no one takes care of it, who knows what kind of damage it will cause? The key question is, what if something unexpected happens?
Of all his younger brothers, the only one Yinreng could truly trust was his fourth brother. The fourth brother was meticulous and liked to do things himself.
Knowing that the child had been sent to the Prince's residence, he held his gentle and sweet Crown Princess as they fell asleep, feeling warm and happy.
The next day, Yinreng woke up according to his biological clock. When he woke up, Jialuo was still asleep beside him.
Her rosy cheeks were still delicate and beautiful. He reached out and pinched them, hugged his Crown Princess, and closed his eyes again. He didn't need to get up early; he should learn to stay in bed.
Perhaps it was his noble character that made Yinreng feel that staying in bed was a sin. He wanted to take a nap while holding the Crown Princess, but he got up after a short while.
Wash up and read a book.
When Jialuo woke up naturally, the sun had already risen slightly, around eight or nine in the morning. Seeing that Yinreng was already up, she quickly got up as well.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Didn't we say we were going out to play? I'm used to sleeping in late, and if you don't wake me up, I can sleep until noon.
"You're sleeping so soundly, get up and have your meal. It'll be noon soon, and a whole day will have passed." Yinreng reminded him casually, glancing at the people beside him. The people below immediately understood and served the meal.
Meanwhile, the maidservant who served Jialuo had already brought water over. She got up to wash and then had her meal.
Set off.
Knowing they were going out, they changed into neat clothes, and if they were going horseback riding, they planned to bring their riding gear.
"Wouldn't it be strange to go on a cruise wearing riding gear?" Other people go on cruises dressed in ethereal clothes and with exquisite makeup. I subconsciously reached out and touched my own little face.
How about... we change it to a two-day trip?
Thinking of this, I looked up at Yinreng. I wanted to look my best for the date; I didn't want to rush around...
"Let's go to the estate today; it's quite far from the palace." Indeed, this was something Yinreng hadn't noticed. A woman dresses to please her lover, so it was perfectly fine for his Crown Princess to go boating in riding attire. But if the Crown Princess didn't want to, they could go another time.
"When are we going out next time?" Jialuo asked immediately. If they were going again next time, they wouldn't be in a hurry this time. Otherwise, they wanted to have a good time.
"Let's go again tomorrow." Seeing that Jialuo was bored, he felt a little sorry for her. It was all his fault... no, it was his father's fault for not allowing him to run around. Otherwise, he could have taken the Crown Princess on a trip.
"Really?" Jialuo was overjoyed. "Okay, okay, let's go to the estate first today, I'll go change into riding clothes."
A pretty and delicate face doesn't need makeup; at most, a touch of lip rouge will make it look a little more radiant. After changing clothes, you can set off.
As the morning sun rose, Yinreng and Jialuo sat in a carriage, heading to a large estate in the suburbs... on their date.
