On the first day of hunting, there was basically one group of royal family, one group of clan relatives, and one group of children from other ministers' families.
On the second day, he was free.
Everyone can form their own team, rest in the tent, or just walk around.
So everyone dispersed completely.
Yinzhi and Yinreng strolled in the surrounding woods, chatting while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
"Baocheng, I plan to travel after I return from this hunt."
Yinzhi held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and spoke vaguely.
Yinreng frowned. "Travel? Where to travel?"
"I just want to travel. I haven't decided where to go yet. Maybe south of the Yangtze River, or northwest, or east. Anyway, I just want to go out and see the world while I'm still young and don't hold an official position."
Yinreng remained silent.
Although he was designated as the crown prince at birth, there were still many people in the court who had mixed thoughts.
In addition, Yinzhi had performed outstandingly at a young age, and many people in Mingzhu's party were secretly fanning the flames, wanting to pull him down as the crown prince and then support Yinzhi to take the throne.
"Brother, have you heard those rumors too?"
Yinzhi said nothing.
Yinreng stopped and looked at Yinzhi, "You are my elder brother. I never cared about those rumors. Why did you leave?"
"What's more, if I really cared about those rumors, I could have asked the Hesheli family to quell the rumors. Why would I just stand by and watch like I am doing now?"
Yinzhi remained silent. Yinreng sighed and said, "Brother, I hope we can always stay like this."
Yinzhi spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and said, "Don't overthink it. I just want to see the beautiful mountains and rivers so that I won't get lost when I lead the troops to fight in the future."
Yinreng kicked him and said, "Just be quiet."
The two brothers walked forward and heard a noise.
The two of them stopped at the same time, and then they heard the sound of whispers.
"Your Highness, now that the Eighth Prince is being raised in your palace, he's considered half your son. If we help him grow up, will you still worry that he won't be loyal to you in the future?"
Yinzhen and Yinreng looked at each other, Tong Guowei?
"My daughter naturally thinks so too. As long as she has a prince in her arms, there's nothing to worry about. But now I see with cold eyes that the eldest prince and the crown prince have a good relationship, and the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor is also very stable. It's really not easy to destroy their relationship."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor is in his prime, and the Crown Prince is eight years old. In another ten or eight years, there's no guarantee he'll still be as beloved by the Emperor as he is now."
"But he is the crown prince after all. It's not easy to overthrow him."
Tong Guowei chuckled, "Sometimes we don't necessarily have to attack the Crown Prince. It's enough to let the Emperor see that the Crown Prince has his eyes on the throne. Which Emperor can tolerate the Crown Prince becoming more powerful while he grows older?"
"Your Majesty, you may see that the eldest prince has a good relationship with the crown prince now, but in ten years, this matter will become a threat to the emperor. If the Hesheli and Nalan families are still so stable by then, the emperor will be more anxious than us."
"Father is right. Now we just have to wait patiently."
"Yes. Because of Longkodo's incident, your Majesty's life in the harem has not been easy. I think you have also been complained about by the Emperor. It is really wronged for your Majesty."
"What are you talking about, father? No matter how wronged I am, I still have no brother."
"Hmph. The Crown Prince is arrogant and doesn't take us seriously. The Emperor has been blinded by the Crown Prince. We will avenge this sooner or later."
"Don't worry, father. I won't be competitive in the palace anymore, nor will I give the emperor another chance to reprimand me. I only wish to raise the Eighth Prince well. In ten years, everything will be ready for me."
"Okay, okay. Your Majesty, don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty. Even though we Tongjia have suffered a lot of oppression from them, we are still a century-old clan and will not fall easily."
"Okay, my father is looking after me, so I'm relieved."
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, please go back first. I'll take a walk for a bit before leaving."
When the sound of their footsteps completely faded from his ears, Yinzhi chuckled, "The Tong family is really audacious. They're still thinking about pulling you down."
Yinreng's face darkened. "After all, I'm in the palace, so everything is fine. But you... if you really want to travel or join the army in the future, there's no guarantee they won't do something behind the scenes."
Yinzhen chuckled and said, "Then put the blame on your Hesheli family."
Yinreng rolled his eyes and Yinzhi laughed out loud.
He was laughing when his face suddenly darkened, "If I don't deal with them, they really think I'm easy to bully."
Yinreng turned to look at his suddenly changed expression and frowned, "Are you going to tell Mingzhu?"
Yinzhi shook his head and nodded again, "Of course we have to tell them. After all, the court is their world, and we can't get involved. But... I'm not a pushover either. Since he deserves a beating so badly, I'll oblige him."
After the bonfire party that night, Tong Guowei was put in a sack and beaten on his way to urinate.
Although Tong Guowei had drunk a lot of wine, he could still tell that there was only one person being beaten. However, the other party was ruthless and had no intention of letting go even though he held his head and begged for mercy.
When the other party finally stopped and he crawled out of the sack, the surroundings were already empty. Not to mention human figures, there was not even a footprint left.
In Kangxi's tent, Liang Jiugong reported the matter while trying to hold back his laughter.
The expressions on Kangxi's face were varied.
