When they set up camp, Yinreng took Gelfin, Wang Chong and Akduo to hunt nearby, while Yinzhi took Li Zhong to make a fire and set up a pot to prepare roasting game.
"Master, we're not going hunting?"
Li Zhong asked in a low voice.
Yinzhi glared at him, "If you don't go with them, I'll take you there alone in a few days."
Li Zhong clapped his hands happily, "Great, we won't be traveling with the Crown Prince."
"say what?"
Yinreng's voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Zhong.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness."
Yinreng glared at him and asked, "What are you trying to do to your master?"
Li Zhong chuckled, "Master wants to go hunting, and I promise to accompany him after his leg injury heals."
Yinzhi glanced at him, snorted and stopped talking.
You little dog slave, you're even playing tricks on me now.
"Boss, we agreed that I would lead the hunting and you would lead the roasting."
Yinreng threw the two rabbits and a chicken he had hunted at Yinzhi's feet and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to rest for a while. Remember to call me when you're done roasting them."
Watching Yinreng and Gelfen leave, Wang Chong and Akeduo immediately stepped forward and said, "Big Brother, we'll just grill it. You can go and rest aside first. We'll call you and the Crown Prince when we're done."
Yinzhi got angry, glared at the two of them, and then snorted, "Just pack the rabbits and chickens, I'll roast them myself."
In the tent, Gelfin poured tea for Yinreng. "Your Highness, are you only going to have two rabbits and a chicken for dinner? Isn't that enough?"
Yinreng looked at the silly child in front of him and sighed silently.
He told his uncle last time that he should have more children while he was still in good health.
I don’t know if my uncle listened to me.
"Do you think Ukuma Mama and Empress Hui will arrange for someone to bring us food?"
Gelfen thought about it and laughed, scratching his head a little embarrassedly, "As long as I can eat enough, it's fine. I'm just afraid of eating... I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't have enough."
Yinreng smiled bitterly.
This kid hasn't been hungry along the way, why is he so greedy?
"Why didn't your elder brother come this time?"
According to my uncle's habit, whenever he goes out, his two sons must accompany him.
Why is the small one here this time? Where is the big one?
"Big brother is giving birth."
Yinreng was shocked.
Gelfen realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself, "My eldest sister-in-law is going to give birth soon. Since it's her first time giving birth, my eldest brother stayed with her."
Yinreng understood.
"Uncle didn't assign you a mission this time?"
Gelfen smiled embarrassedly again.
Yinreng laughed, "Tell me, let me hear, what mission did your uncle assign you?"
"Father said that our only task this time is to take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he can arrange the rest as he pleases."
Yinreng became interested. "Other arrangements? What arrangements does your father have?"
Gelfin didn't quite understand, but he said, "I've heard from my father and eldest brother that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to Mount Wutai to pray, auspicious signs appear on Mount Wutai. It seems to mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the chosen one."
Yinreng closed his eyes for a moment, then said, "Gerfin, go check on the boss to see if his food is ready. Don't let him steal it."
Upon hearing this, Gelfen immediately stood up and left. He Yuzhu then stepped forward and said, "Prince, do you think that what Lord Suo did was inappropriate?"
Yinreng sneered.
"I was wondering why my uncle was so quiet this time and didn't send anyone to keep an eye on the boss. It turns out he was setting a trap for me."
He Yuzhu was puzzled. "Lord Suo was also trying to build momentum for the Crown Prince, so how did that become a trap?"
Yinreng snorted coldly, "He thinks that since the Emperor isn't here this time, he has more room to maneuver, so he wants to create some auspicious omen."
"But he didn't consider that the Grand Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince were traveling together. Even if the Emperor didn't come in person, wouldn't there be fewer people who followed them, both openly and covertly? If the Emperor found out, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
"Even if it was discovered, it was done by Lord Suo's men. It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
He Yuzhu was also a little anxious.
Yinreng glared at him. "Are you stupid? If I say I don't know, will the Emperor believe me? Who knows what rumors will spread. I'm the Crown Prince now. I just need to live a peaceful and stable life. There's no need to create any auspicious signs."
The more Yinreng thought about it, the angrier he became. "Bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I want to write a letter to the Emperor."
Instead of waiting to be discovered, it’s better to just say it yourself.
By the time Gelfin ran back happily and said that it was time to eat, Yinreng had already sent someone to deliver the letter back to the capital.
Over the next month, Yinzhi's injuries recovered better and better, and by the time the group arrived at Mount Wutai, he was able to ride horses.
"These past few months have been so frustrating."
After riding for a long time, Yinzhi took a deep breath and said, "You must take good care of my legs from now on. They must not be injured again."
"It's good that you can remember this sentence." Yinreng said with a smile.
After entering Mount Wutai, Xiaozhuang and others went straight to the royal palace, Bodhisattva Peak, where the abbots of all the large and small temples in Mount Wutai came to welcome them.
On the second day, Empress Xiaozhuang led everyone in praying according to the procedure. After most of the day had passed, they were completely free.
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come out, so you can have fun on your own for the next period of time. If you want to listen to the sutras, go listen to the sutras. If you want to go to other temples to worship, go and worship."
After Xiaozhuang finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Hui and said, "You've worked hard on this journey. You don't have to accompany me during this period in Mount Wutai. I want to go sightseeing on my own."
Concubine Hui obeyed the order.
So, Yinreng and Yinzhi took a group of younger brothers to visit various temples every day, worshipped as soon as they entered, and donated incense money after worshipping.
Concubine Hui took a few days of real rest before she began to pray for her eldest son. She also bought some amulets and planned to take them back to share.
As for the eldest son... he is never seen at all.
Concubine Hui sent people to invite Yinzhi to have dinner with her several times, but she was never able to see him.
After that, she stopped sending people to invite him.
Although Yinzhi was unreliable, Yinreng was reliable.
Every two or three days, he and Yinzhi would go to pay their respects to Empress Xiaozhuang and Concubine Hui, and tell them where they had been and what had happened in the past few days, which helped to entertain them.
People in Mount Wutai were having a great time eating, drinking and having fun, and the summer palace also welcomed a large number of people led by Kangxi.
Because the Empress Dowager could not speak Manchu, the Imperial Concubine was pregnant, and Concubine Hui was not around, all matters in the harem temporarily fell on Concubine Rong's head.
Although she had not done these things yet, fortunately Concubine Yi and Concubine Gui were about to give birth and had no time to make trouble, so she naturally did not care about the remaining skit fees.
When arriving at the palace, the first thing to do is to arrange accommodation.
Except for the emperor who has a special courtyard, everyone in the harem needs to be arranged by Rong Fei.
