On Yinzhen's birthday, Yinreng gathered all his brothers and sisters in the imperial garden, placed a pot in the pavilion, and everyone watched the snow and ate the pot together.
When Yinzhen and others arrived, Yinreng was sitting in the pavilion, and outside a group of little eunuchs were happily making a snowman.
There are all kinds of shapes, with the most common ones being those shaped like kittens and puppies.
"Oh, it's quite warm."
As soon as Yinzhen came in, he chuckled.
There were windproof curtains hung around the pavilion, and a circle of braziers was placed around it. There was also a small brazier under everyone's feet, so naturally they didn't feel cold.
"After we finish eating the hot pot, let's go out and play in the snow."
Yinreng smiled.
Yinzhen shook his head hurriedly. "It's fine if I go out to play, but if you go out with me and catch a cold, the Emperor will definitely scold me."
Yinreng curled his lips, but Yinzhi was telling the truth, and he naturally understood it in his heart.
After the eunuchs had piled up all the little animals, Yinreng readily gave them a lot of reward money.
"Your eldest brother is happy today, so this is your reward."
Yinreng said with a smile, and a group of young eunuchs who received the reward immediately came to thank Yinzhi.
Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed and gave it another round, which made the young eunuchs even happier.
After all the princes and princesses arrived, the pot was officially opened for eating.
Xiao Si was only a little over one year old, so he naturally couldn't eat this. Yinreng had already arranged for the imperial kitchen to prepare special food for him.
Su Malagu held Xiao Si in her arms to thank him, feeding him while watching the other children eat, drink and have fun.
Xiao San is almost three years old and can eat by himself, but he still can’t pick up slices of meat from the pot by himself. Every time this happens, Ting He needs to come out.
"Brother, my birthday is coming up in a few days. Can we still come here to eat hotpot?"
Xiao San looked at Yin Reng eagerly. Yin Reng smiled and pinched his little face, "Xiao San, do you like to eat pot?"
Xiao San nodded obediently, "I like it."
"Okay, let's eat here on Xiao San's birthday in a few days."
After saying that, Yinreng looked at the others and said, "When someone has a birthday in the future, why don't we just have the meal here? It doesn't matter what pot or anything else."
Everyone clapped and cheered happily.
At midnight that night, the quiet palace suddenly burst into flames.
Kangxi and Yinreng were both confused when they were woken up, and Liang Jiugong hurried in to answer them.
"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, there's a fire in Chuxiu Palace. The guards and palace maids have already gone to help."
Yinreng suddenly woke up and asked, "Why did the fire break out?"
[Could it be that someone wants to burn Empress Hui and Big Brother to death?]
Kangxi also thought of this and looked at Liang Jiugong with a sullen face, "Hurry up and change your clothes. The prince and I are going to take a look."
By the time they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, the fire had already been extinguished.
Concubine Hui and Yinzhi stood in a safe place sheltered from the wind with dark faces. When they saw Kangxi and Yinreng coming, they came over trembling to pay their respects.
Yinreng directly put his cloak on Yinzhi, and seeing this, Kangxi also put his cloak on Huifei.
Then he asked, "What happened to the fire in Chuxiu Palace? Why did it happen out of the blue?"
Concubine Hui was also confused.
"I was sleeping when Ruixue woke me up, saying there was a fire. We ran out and went to look for Yinzhen. We were relieved to see that he was fine."
Ruixue then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, so far in Chuxiu Palace, only a few young palace maids have suffered minor injuries, and nothing else has happened. However, I just looked around, and only the main hall has been severely burned. The other side halls and other places are fine."
Ruixue's words made Kangxi's face darken.
The Chuxiu Palace is so big, but the main hall caught fire while other places were fine. Isn't this just arson?
"Since Chuxiu Palace has burned down like this, it can't be repaired in such a short time. Concubine Hui will...move to Yanxi Palace. Chuxiu Palace will be temporarily sealed. After the cause is determined, we will make arrangements for repairs."
This means that Concubine Hui was given a new palace.
The Yanx Palace is not as big as the Chuxiu Palace, not to mention that a concubine named Wan Liuha is living there now.
Concubine Hui didn't want to move at all, but since Kangxi had already asked her to do so, she had no other choice.
Seeing her reluctance, Kangxi asked, "But what's the difficulty?"
Concubine Hui thought for a moment and said, "There's already a concubine living in the Yanxi Palace. Now I'm bringing Yinzhen in. Although it's definitely enough, it's a bit inconvenient. Furthermore, the Yanxi Palace is smaller than the Chuxiu Palace, so it won't be convenient when Yinzhen gets older."
Kangxi didn't know about the Yanxi Palace being occupied. After hearing what Huifei said, he waved his hand and said, "You are now in charge of the harem affairs. Just move that concubine somewhere else. There is no need to arrange for anyone else to live in the Yanxi Palace in the future."
When Concubine Hui heard this, she was immediately happy.
Who would want to share a palace with others when they can live alone?
Kangxi sent people to investigate the fire in Chuxiu Palace for a long time. The final conclusion was that it was due to the dry weather and the fire was purely accidental.
Although no one believed it could be so simple, there was no trace of human intervention, so Kangxi could only treat it as an accident.
After the greetings were resumed, all the concubines in the harem gathered in the Yanx Palace.
"The fire in Chuxiu Palace a few days ago really scared me. I had already put on my clothes and came out to see what was going on, but then I heard that the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were there, so I didn't bother them."
Rongpin patted her chest as she spoke, "My sister could see the raging fire from her own yard at that time. It was really scary."
