"Second brother, mother is sick again."
Xiao Shi hugged Yinreng's arm and acted coquettishly, "I'm so worried about mother."
Xiaoba and Xiaojiu also nodded.
The prince rubbed Xiao Shi's head and comforted him, "Everyone gets sick sometimes. You will get better slowly after taking medicine."
Xiao Shi pouted, "But mother has been sick for a long time and hasn't recovered this time."
Yinreng sighed, this year is just the beginning, his condition will be more serious next year, and he will die the year after.
But it is indeed a bit cruel to tell this to a nine-year-old child.
"I will accompany you to see the Imperial Concubine."
After saying that, he asked He Yuzhu to invite the imperial physician and the Western doctor to go to Chuxiu Palace together.
The imperial concubine had been ill for a long time. During this period, Kangxi came to her several times and gave her rewards, but her illness was not a heart disease. It was useless to be in a good mood. She still couldn't get up.
At this time, seeing the prince coming to visit with his three children, he was grateful, but he could not get up.
"I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me, I really can't get up."
Yinreng said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine. I saw Xiao Shi in the garden worried about your condition, so I brought them here to check on you."
After saying that, he looked at the imperial physician and the Western doctor and said, "Come here and take a good look at the Imperial Concubine to find out what's going on."
Half a minute later, after the two doctors had a conversation, they both came to the conclusion that it was related to the liver.
Once you get this disease, there is no way to recover.
But at this moment, Yinreng looked at Xiao Shi's expectant eyes and could only smile and say to him, "The Imperial Concubine is fine, but she cannot work hard, so Xiao Shi must be very obedient in the future."
Yinzhen nodded seriously, then rushed to the bedside, looked at the imperial concubine and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, mother, Xiaoshi will be very obedient in the future."
The imperial concubine nodded with tears in her eyes and said weakly, "Our little ten is the most obedient."
Then he glanced at Yinreng again and said meaningfully, "Xiao Shi is already nine years old. I'm thinking of letting him live in the prince's residence next year. I'll have to trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take good care of him in the future. If there's anything that the Nianhulu family needs to do, please feel free to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know."
This is a subtle way of entrusting an orphan to someone else.
Yinreng looked at Xiao Shi and thought that this kid hadn't accomplished anything great in his previous life and was just a little devil.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of my tenth brother."
The imperial concubine closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The Imperial Concubine's illness did not heal until the end of the year, and she was unable to move during the New Year's Eve palace banquet. In addition, Xiaowu and Xiaoqi, who were accompanying the third princess to marry, did not come back, making the palace banquet seem a bit deserted.
Fortunately, Kangxi was more capable this time and directly rewarded Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Heping with a lot of things as a way of appeasing them.
But there are exceptions, such as the Fourth Princess.
Kangxi had previously paid the most attention to the second princess Rongxian, but since he heard that the fourth princess would have great power in Mobei in the future, he paid more attention to and was interested in her.
Especially after the second princess got married, the attention on the fourth princess became even higher.
"Kejing, I see you haven't eaten anything tonight?"
As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the Fourth Princess.
The fourth princess was a little flattered, but she remained calm and said, "My daughter can't eat much."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The fourth princess stood up and saluted, then said, "I just miss my second and third sisters."
As soon as she said this, Rong Fei's eyes turned red.
[The fourth sister was probably a little scared and apprehensive about marrying into Mongolia in the future.]
Kangxi listened to Yinreng's thoughts and felt that they made sense.
The second and third princesses had traveled with him to many places. The fourth princess was born a few years later, so she naturally had less contact with the outside world.
"Kejing is a good child, but your second and third sisters will probably miss you in Mongolia."
Then, Kangxi looked at Yinreng and said, "Baocheng, my father wants to go on an eastern tour in April. Would you like to come with him?"
Yinreng subconsciously glanced at the Crown Princess Li Jiashi beside him and said, "Father, I won't go this time. The Crown Princess is giving birth this year, so I'd better stay."
Kangxi glanced at the Crown Princess with a hint of dissatisfaction, which made Li Jia quickly lower her head to drink water.
"Okay, then Baocheng will stay and supervise the country."
Then he looked at everyone, "I have decided to conduct an eastern tour in April. Concubine Wei, Concubine Jin, Concubine Min, Noble Lady Ping, Noble Lady Guo, and Noble Lady Ding will accompany me. As for the prince and princess..."
Yinreng said hurriedly, "The Emperor's Eastern Tour is a rare opportunity to broaden your horizons. Take all the brothers and sisters with you to broaden their horizons. Just leave the fourth child behind to help me with the affairs."
[There has to be someone left who can work, otherwise I will be exhausted to death.]
Kangxi: ...
You are so lazy.
But when I think about how Yinreng took the initiative to suggest keeping Xiaosi, I think he felt Xiaosi was still useful.
"Your Majesty, please let your son stay as well. Everyone has left, and only Baocheng and Xiaosi are left. It seems that they are not in good condition either." Yinzhi stood up.
He was thinking, what if something happened to these two people if he stayed? If he stayed and something happened, all his years in the army would not be in vain.
Kangxi immediately understood what he meant and nodded with satisfaction, "Boss, you've thought it through. You can stay too."
Then he looked at Concubine Hui and said, "Concubine Hui hasn't been out for a long time. This time, let's go out for a walk together."
Concubine Hui was naturally happy to be able to go on the tour. It had been many years since the last time she went on the eastern tour. If she didn't go out for a walk again, she would be even less able to go out when she got older.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Looking at his mother's cheerful expression, Yinzhi suddenly understood the meaning of a mother's status being elevated by her son.
It was also at this moment that made him more determined to do his job well and strive to give his mother, wife and children a good future.
Kangxi looked at everyone in a good mood and said, "Then let's follow the Crown Prince's wishes. The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, will stay to assist the Crown Prince in handling government affairs, and the other princes and princesses will all accompany him."
The children cheered, and the concubines who were able to accompany them were also happy.
Although Xiao Si was unable to go with him, he was happier that he could stay and help his second brother handle state affairs.
In mid-March, the wedding procession returned. Xiaowu and Xiaoqi were extremely happy to hear that they could rest for half a month and then go on the eastern tour.
Inside Yuqing Palace, Yinreng looked at Xiaosi, who was gradually adapting to handling state affairs, and asked with a smile, "I haven't asked you yet, are you willing to stay? If you also want to go on the Eastern Tour, then I will tell the Emperor."
Xiao Si nodded vigorously, "Of course I am willing. I am very happy to stay and help my second brother handle the government affairs."
Seeing this, Yinreng nodded with satisfaction. Thinking of the talents and abilities of the fourth brother in his previous life, he felt that he could have a much easier time during this period.
