When Yinreng rushed to the courtyard of the eldest prince's family, he saw him teaching Xiaoqi boxing.
Yinreng thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, "Boss, are you teaching Xiaoqi how to box?"
The two looked over when they heard the sound. Xiao Qi happily ran over and hugged Yinreng, "Second brother, are you here to see me?"
Yinzhi, who arrived shortly after, grabbed Xiaoqi by the collar and pulled him away, "He came to see me."
Xiaoqi pouted and didn't dare to speak.
Yinreng glared at him, pulled him aside, and muttered softly, "You should know that Xiaoqi has a leg problem. Why are you still teaching him boxing? What if he gets hurt?"
Yinzhi disagreed.
"He just has a leg disease, he's not crippled. Since he wants to learn boxing, why can't I, as his brother, teach him? If even we think he's useless, how will he live in the future?"
Yinreng looked at his boss's serious expression, was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
"Xiao Qi, didn't the Emperor find a martial arts master for you before? Why are you here to learn boxing from big brother again?"
Xiao Qi was like a child who had done something wrong. "What Master Wu taught me was very simple and boring."
"But...is your body okay?"
Yinreng asked cautiously, for he was afraid of hurting Xiaoqi's self-esteem.
"Sure. Second brother, I'm just a little slow on the walk, but planning and archery are no problem at all."
Yinreng felt really uncomfortable when he saw Xiaoqi's positive attitude, but when he recalled Xiaoqi's achievements in the previous life, he couldn't help but sigh that fate was playing tricks on him.
"Okay, then you should learn from me. If you need anything, just tell me or you can tell me."
Xiao Qi nodded happily.
I thought that was the end of the matter, but a few days later, Xiaoqi was sent to the prince's residence by Concubine Ping along with his luggage.
After paying her respects to Yinzhi, Xiuhe, who was standing beside Concubine Ping, said, "Our young master's intention is to move directly into the prince's residence so that it will be more convenient for the Seventh Prince to learn boxing from the Great Prince. If the Seventh Prince does anything imperfect, I hope the Great Prince will forgive him."
Yinzhi was confused.
He looked at Xiuhe, then at the little one with sparkling eyes.
"Xiao Qi is only five years old this year, right? He's sending her to the abode right now? Aren't you afraid something might happen?"
Xiu He smiled and said, "Our young lady has already arranged for the Seventh Prince to have servants. This servant will come to visit him every day, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"should?"
Yinzhi was stunned.
I have to say, is Concubine Ping too bold or does she trust him too much?
When Concubine Hui found out about this, she was speechless, but Xiaoqi had already been sent there, so she couldn't let Concubine Ping take her away again.
"Ruixue, go tell Baoqing to take good care of Xiaoqi. Now that they are the only two brothers in the abode, he is still the eldest brother. If anything happens to his younger brother in the abode, he will be blamed."
Ruixue nodded in agreement, feeling both amused and helpless. Just as she was about to leave, Concubine Hui called her back.
"Go tell the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Kitchen that although the Seventh Prince has entered the Prince's Residence, his food and daily supplies must be of the best quality and he must not be treated with any neglect."
Ruixue agreed again. When Yinzhi heard this, he felt like the blame had fallen from the sky.
I am still a child, why do I have to start taking care of another child?
After Kangxi and Yinreng learned of this, one pondered for a moment and generously rewarded Concubine Ping, while the other instructed the Imperial Household Department to not only regulate the daily necessities of life, but also to give the Seventh Prince three levels of treatment. Especially regarding custom-made shoes, they had to ensure ten pairs were provided each month, with any excess coming from the Yuqing Palace.
After all this trouble, Concubine Rong was very worried.
She originally wanted to wait until the third prince was ten years old before sending him to the prince's residence, but now the seventh prince was sent in at the age of five. It seemed that the emperor was very satisfied with Ping Guiren's approach.
Between the eldest to the seventh, the fourth and fifth are being raised by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager respectively. It is impossible for them to be sent to the prince's residence in the short term, otherwise what would be the point of letting the old lady raise them?
Xiaoliu was sent to Prince Chun's mansion to be the crown prince, and now only Xiaosan is left.
If the mistress is sent there now, it would be just copying others and may not end well. She may even be accused of following the trend.
If you don't send...
"Your Majesty, it's already like this. It wouldn't be a good idea to send him in now. It would be better to send him in after the New Year. By then, the Third Prince will be eight years old, which would be more appropriate."
Seeing that his master was worried, Ting He had to try his best to persuade him.
Rong Fei sighed, "This is the only way."
"But then again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really caring towards the Seventh Prince, even asking the Imperial Household Department to prepare so many things beyond the regulations."
Concubine Rong didn't care about this.
"Xiao Qi was born with a foot disease, and she is also a child with a miserable life. As for Concubine Yi, it is natural that Concubine Ping will not be treated harshly, but even if she is not treated harshly, she is still just a Concubine."
Ting He also nodded, "Fortunately, Your Majesty is a concubine. After the Third Prince goes to the Prince's Residence, his treatment will not be bad."
Since both the Emperor and the Crown Prince had given him rewards, Concubine Yi had also sent quite a few things to the Seventh Prince. As a result, the Seventh Prince's small private treasury was now almost full.
He is still young and doesn't understand some things, but the eldest brother couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiao Qi, when you become capable in the future, don't forget your second brother."
Xiao Qi was puzzled. Shouldn't the eldest brother tell him not to forget his teachings? Why should he not forget his second brother?
Because the Prince's House had two princes, Xiao San and Xiao Si would occasionally go to the Prince's House together after class.
They rarely saw Yinzhi, mainly because Yinzhi was on duty most of the time. Therefore, the time for teaching Xiaoqi was not fixed.
But they would play with Xiaoqi for a while. Xiaowu rarely came over, as he mainly stayed with the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace.
Originally, Xiaowu could speak some Manchu, but after spending so much time with the empress dowager, he became fluent in Mongolian and became unfamiliar with Manchu.
After going to the school a few times and finding that he could not understand, he returned to Shoukang Palace and burst into tears.
The Queen Mother loved her grandson so much that she rarely let him go to school.
At first, they could still ask for leave for him in various ways, but after a long time, they just sent a palace maid to convey the Empress Dowager's decree.
After Kangxi learned about this, he had a tactful talk with the empress dowager. The general meaning was that Xiaowu was young and still needed to study hard.
When the old lady heard this, she burst into tears and said that she had delayed the birth of the child. This frightened Kangxi so much that he never dared to go again.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. On December 24th, little Twelve was finally born. And Wan Liuha, who had gone through countless hardships to give birth to this child, was finally promoted to Ding Guiren.
