Since Kangxi went on the expedition, he would write a letter to Yinreng almost every three days, telling him what he saw and heard on the road, and the last sentence would always be: I miss my son.
Yinreng would also reply to every letter carefully. Not only would he reply himself, he would also ask his other brothers who did not see the emperor for many years to write one to each of them.
After a long time, Kangxi would also include greetings to his other sons in his letters, which was really not easy.
Because he brought a Western doctor with him this time, and Kangxi learned from Yinreng's inner voice that he had suffered from dysentery in his previous life, he took medicine according to the Western doctor's instructions when he fell ill halfway.
It was precisely for this reason that although Kangxi fell ill in this life, his illness was not serious. He only rested for two or three days before continuing on his journey. It did not affect the relationship between father and son at all.
Everything is stable in the capital.
Soetu was in a state of preparation for war in the front court to prevent rebellion, and Aljishan also strengthened the patrol of the palace every day, determined to protect the palace like an iron barrel.
All the concubines in the harem had either fallen ill or injured their knees due to kneeling in the memorial a while ago. Now it was too late for them to miss Kangxi, and they were all recuperating in their respective palaces.
The former court and the harem were unusually quiet.
"My Lord, I heard that the Fourth Prince would go to Fengxian Hall to sit for a while after class every day. It wasn't for long, and he seemed to be talking to the tablets of our ancestors."
While He Yuzhu was serving Yinreng with his writing materials, he was also reporting some things in the palace in a low voice.
Yinreng paused.
When the Empress Dowager passed away, Xiao Si cried so much that his eyes almost went blind. Now that it has been a while, he still hasn't gotten over the sadness.
It seems that it was a right decision to give Xiao Si to the Empress Dowager for upbringing. It really changed the character of this naughty little brother for his whole life.
"Go and call him over."
He Yuzhu responded and went to pass on the message. In less than half an hour, Yinzhen walked in.
"Second brother, you are looking for me."
Yinzhen wanted to salute, but Yinreng stopped him with a raised hand.
"Xiao Si, have you been busy recently?"
Yinzhen was a little confused, but still shook his head, "I'm not busy, I'm just attending class."
Seeing that he didn't want to mention the matter of Fengxian Hall, Yinreng didn't mention it either. Everyone has their own little secrets.
Perhaps in Yinzhen's heart in this life, the Empress Dowager is the closest person to him, so it doesn't matter.
"Now that the Emperor is away on a campaign, I am responsible for supervising the country. Although I have Suo Etu's help, there are still many things I can't handle."
Yinzhen understood and said seriously, "Xiao Si can help Second Brother."
Yinreng nodded, this kid is quite sensible.
"I plan to arrange for you to work in the Ministry of Revenue first. It's a department with a lot of money but also a lot of work. Although you are a prince, you are only ten years old this year. If I arrange for you to work there, even if they dare not say anything openly, they may not be convinced in their hearts."
Yinzhen said hurriedly, "My younger brother is young and doesn't understand many things, so it's inevitable that people will not be convinced. But I am willing to learn. As long as it is something that my second brother tells me to do, I will definitely do it well. Whether they can be convinced is their business, and whether I can convince them is my younger brother's business."
Wow, you are quite arrogant.
Yinreng's eyes lit up.
He walked up to Yinzhen, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, since Xiao Si said so, I believe you."
So, Yinzhen became a child laborer in such a gorgeous way and was directly assigned to the Ministry of Revenue.
Fortunately, there were also people from the Hesheli family in the Ministry of Revenue. Under Soetu's instructions, not only did no one openly make things difficult for Yinzhen, but many people also helped him secretly.
Yinreng arranged for Yinzhen to work in the Ministry of Revenue, not to let him really do the work, but to find him something to do so that he would not always be immersed in sadness.
But this matter has a different meaning in the eyes of the concubines and princes in the harem.
A few days later, Yinzhi came looking aggrieved.
"Second brother."
When Yinreng raised his eyes, he saw Yinzhi standing at the door of the palace. He didn't come in, but just stood there as if he was being punished.
Yinreng rubbed his head and said, "What are you doing standing there, Xiaosan? Come in quickly."
Only then did Yinzhi walk in and stand awkwardly beside Yinreng.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
When Yinreng saw him like this, he could only think that he was being bullied.
But in the study room now, Xiao San should be the oldest, and no one should bully him.
"My fourth brother has gone on errands, and I'm still studying in the upper study. How embarrassing."
Yinreng slapped his forehead and said, "Xiao San, you want to go on an errand too?"
Yinzhi immediately looked up, his eyes sparkling, "Yes, yes."
Yinreng laughed at his delighted expression, "Xiaosan, if you have any ideas in the future, just come to me directly. Don't feel embarrassed, understand?"
It's also his fault for not thinking this through.
From the perspective of outsiders, some might speculate that he didn't like the mistress, so he deliberately bypassed her and sent the fourth mistress directly.
"Which department does Xiaosan want to go to?"
Yinzhi shook his head, "I'm not sure, anywhere is fine."
Yinreng probably understood that this kid just wanted to go out and do his job and didn't want to be outdone by his fourth brother.
"Then you should go to the Ministry of Rites first. You have read a lot of books and know a lot. You can play there for a few years. When you are older, we will send you to the Hanlin Academy."
The main reason is that he is only ten years old now, and it is really not appropriate to send him to the Hanlin Academy.
Yinzhi jumped three feet high with joy, almost jumping onto Yinreng.
The other brothers could only envy him, but no one came to see him again.
The main reason is that the remaining two, Yinqi and Yinyou, are only eight years old, which is quite a big age difference.
