Chapter 97 Moving to Yuqing Palace



The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, then looked at Yinreng and said, "Please trouble the Crown Prince to bring it back personally."

Yinreng smiled.

In his previous life, he had a good relationship with this imperial grandmother. She was a kind and nonchalant old lady who had no desire to interfere in the affairs of the court or the harem. Because of this, she got along well with both the emperor and the concubines.

However, the old lady could not speak Manchu, which made it difficult for her to communicate with the concubines in the harem and some family members of the previous dynasty. After a long time, she inevitably felt lonely.

Fortunately, he has always been able to speak Mongolian, so he can communicate directly with the old lady.

So, Yinreng did not listen to Yunzhu's translation, but spoke directly to the old lady in Mongolian.

The old lady was shocked at first, then tears welled up in her eyes as she took Yinreng's hand and said, "Good boy, you can actually speak Mongolian."

Yinreng smiled and nodded, "Grandmother, I can speak Mongolian. I will come and talk to you often in the future, okay?"

The Queen Mother nodded, took Yinreng's hand and wanted to say something, but seeing that it was getting late outside, she could only reluctantly say: "You go back first, and come to play with Xiaowu later."

Yinreng looked at the empress dowager's excited expression and nodded, "Don't worry, Grandmother. I will definitely come over to play with Xiaowu often, and I will also come to visit you often."

When I returned to the Qianqing Palace, I saw Liang Jiugong waiting outside.

"Why doesn't Liang Anda go in? Is the Emperor meeting with ministers?"

Liang Jiugong's expression changed, and he said awkwardly, "It's Concubine Zhang Jia who's in there."

Yinreng pursed his lips and said, "Then I will go in through the side hall."

After returning to the inner hall, Yinreng sat on the bed and thought for a while, and felt that it was time for him to move to Yuqing Palace.

Since he lives here, it is inconvenient for the emperor to have sex with concubines.

Thinking of this, he brought up the matter directly to Kangxi during lunch the next day. Kangxi was shocked and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why does Baocheng want to go to Yuqing Palace? You can just attend classes there. You are still young, so you don't need to move there."

[Ah, actually, I really miss leaving the Emperor, and I always want to spend more time with him. But it's really inconvenient for me to live here all the time, and it makes the Emperor have to be cautious when he invites the concubines.]

He thought so in his heart, but said: "Your Majesty, I am already a big boy. Especially after returning from this tour in the east, I feel that I should work hard to improve myself and strive to help Your Majesty share your worries as soon as possible."

Kangxi didn't care what Yinreng said, but what he thought in his heart was heard by Kangxi.

It turned out that he was afraid of delaying his chance to recruit a concubine.

Oh, this kid is really...

Could it be that my son was unhappy about my favoring Concubine Zhang Jia yesterday?

"Your Majesty, although I've moved to Yuqing Palace, I'll come and have dinner with you every night, okay? If you miss me, you can go to Yuqing Palace to find me. The garden there is large and beautiful. Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to sit under the trees and drink tea?"

Kangxi was amused by what Yinreng said. Although it sounded a bit ridiculous, it was true.

"In that case, I will order the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day and then move to Yuqing Palace."

After some screening, Kangxi finally decided to set the moving date as November 24th.

It happened that the next day was Yinyou's birthday, so Yinreng decided to hold a banquet in Yuqing Palace on November 25 to entertain all his brothers and sisters.

Even Yinzhi in the military camp received the notice and said he would definitely return on time.

Concubine Yi didn't expect that Yinyou and the fourth princess Kejing would also receive invitations. Although these two children were not hers, they were children of the Yiku Palace after all.

Not only that, the prince seemed to have rarely visited since Yinyou and Kejing were born.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some moving gifts for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and asked Xiuhe to bring them along with the Seventh Prince.

Concubine Dai Jia prepared an inkstone. Although it was not the best, it was the best thing she could offer.

Concubine Guo also prepared a set of pens and ink. Although they were good things, they were also brought from her parents' home.

Concubine Yi nodded and said, "I have asked Huanxi to prepare a gift as well, and will have her deliver it later."

Then she looked at Concubine Dai Jia and said, "Today is our Xiaoqi's birthday, and I have a gift for you."

Huanxi came forward carrying a silver plate, on which was a gold necklace inlaid with many gems. It was obvious at first glance that it was very valuable.

Concubine Dai Jia was about to kneel down to express her gratitude while holding the child, but Huanxi pulled her back.

"There's no need for Concubine to be like this. Our Queen loves the Seventh Prince very much and only hopes that everything will be well for him."

Concubine Dai Jia put the gold collar directly on Yinyou's neck. The child tried to grab the gold collar, but gave up when he found that he couldn't take it off.

Yipin was really fond of Yinyou's little appearance. She pinched his little face and looked at Huanxi, "Take them to Yuqing Palace together."

Huanxi led the group, along with two wet nurses, the child, and a bunch of gifts, and headed straight for Yuqing Palace.

Yinreng was waiting in Yuqing Palace, and the eldest brother arrived first.

As soon as the eldest brother came in, he took Yinreng for a stroll, and as he walked, he exclaimed, "Baocheng, your Yuqing Palace is so good! In my opinion, it's even better than the Qianqing Palace."

Yinreng patted Yinzhi on the shoulder and said, "You have good taste."

Yinzhi chuckled, "The Emperor said that the mansion for me is already being prepared. I might as well ask the Emperor to prepare it according to this specification."

Yinreng: ...

He glanced at Yinzhi, not wanting to pour cold water on him, "Perhaps, you can ask the Emperor."

Yinzhi nodded, "I think it's okay."

As they were talking, several other children arrived one after another with gifts. They were first taken around by their older brothers and sisters, and then gathered in the main hall to prepare for dinner.

Just as the banquet was about to begin, He Yuzhu ran in and whispered in Yinreng's ear, "My Lord, someone is coming from Prince Chun's mansion."

Yinreng was a little surprised, "Seventh Uncle? Who is here and what's the matter?"

As he asked, he stood up and was about to walk out, but was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"It was the nanny next to Prince Chun's wife who came over. She said she heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was holding a banquet today and that all the brothers had arrived. She brought the young prince over specially to celebrate the move with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yinreng: ...

"Xiaoliu is here? Come in quickly."

Yinzhi greeted him and Yinreng nodded.

He Yuzhu then ran out, and soon saw a nanny, a wet nurse and two maids carrying Yinzuo walking in.

After entering, she greeted everyone first, and then the nanny said, "The Concubine knew that today was the Crown Prince's moving party, so she asked me to bring the young master here to introduce him. The gifts are already placed in the courtyard, and they were all personally selected by the Concubine and the young master."
