Chapter 107 Extra Chapter: Sky Screen Cinema 13
"Only a servant would ask his master to change his name to show his loyalty, right?"
Yin was a man of many talents, but he was much smarter than Qingying.
No, compared to her, I'm completely disgracing myself!
Yin quickly shook his head, "It can't be compared, it can't be compared. What if it gets dirty?"
"With her parents alive and well, and her aunt, the Empress Dowager, also here, Qingying's actions are truly inappropriate... Tenth Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Yinzhen was speaking when he saw Yinzhen suddenly shaking his head and trembling. He couldn't help but move aside and asked, "Aren't you going to catch it?"
These words were so cryptic that even the usually observant Yinzhen darted away, his movements so exaggerated that it was impossible for Yinzhen to ignore them.
"Fourteen! What do you mean?"
Yinzhen gave an awkward smile; the shock Qingying had given him was simply too great, and he was just reacting to the situation.
"Tenth Brother, it has nothing to do with me, it was Ninth Brother who said it."
Shifting the blame, Yin looked at Yin Tang with resentment. Yin Tang touched his nose, and said with a self-righteous but unconvinced tone, "Who told you to talk like that?"
Yin curled his lips, looking at how Eighth Brother treated Fourth Brother, and then at Ninth Brother treated him. There was no love left, and they had broken off their friendship after half an hour, no, an hour!
Yinzhen was thoroughly enjoying watching the Ninth Prince's tantrum until someone grabbed his ear and twisted it: "Who's twisting my ear... hehe... Crown Prince brother..."
Yinzhen looked up and saw Yinreng, his expression changing instantly. Yinreng found it amusing, released his ear, and raised his chin to indicate, "Don't run around in front of so many ministers."
"Okay, okay."
Yinzhen obediently turned back, but didn't actually return to his original spot. He walked behind Yinsi, turned a corner, and stopped, feeling that he would hear more gossip in this place.
Yinreng glanced at him, but didn't say anything more. He returned to his seat, looked at his father who seemed to be unconcerned about anything, and sighed helplessly.
What's this all about? You're really not going to care anymore?
Kangxi looked up at the sky. The Crown Prince was growing up; it was time to share his burdens. These embarrassing blunders by his brothers shouldn't trouble his old father. He hadn't taught them to do it! No!
"What do you look forward to most?" Faced with Qingying's repeated requests, Feng Ruozhao asked this question.
Qingying was taken aback, then blurted out, "Deep affection and loyalty, two hearts pledged to each other."
"Huh—"
Yinti looked disgusted and was glared at by Yintang and Yin.
"You little brat, what's with the 'huh'?"
Shut up!
Yinti moved closer to Yinsi, thinking, "They really can't take this kind of joke. My Eighth Brother is much better."
Yinzhi lowered his eyes, looking at Yinti's trusting expression, and smiled faintly. "You little brat, you don't respect your fourth brother, do you? Just you wait."
"How about we name her Ruyi?"
"Ruyi?" Qingying thought for a moment. "Does it mean that everything goes smoothly?"
Feng Ruozhao shook her head: "I chose the character 'Yi' from 'Yide,' which means virtuous conduct."
"But I don't understand, if Yi is good enough, why Ruyi?"
Feng Ruozhao frowned slightly and said with feigned emotion, "You are still too young to understand. Perfect and beautiful things are too rare and hard to come by in this world. So Ruyi is already very good."
Qingying nodded thoughtfully, "Your Majesty means that in the pursuit of perfection, one inevitably misses the beauty around us. Sometimes, lowering expectations and settling for second best is enough."
"Is that really what the Empress Dowager meant? I don't believe it."
Yinzhi stroked his chin thoughtfully, then looked at Yinreng and thought, "Forget it, the second son isn't worthy!"
Yinzhi turned to Yinzhi and nudged him with his elbow: "Third Prince, what do you think?"
"I'm fine," Yin Zhi smiled.
Yinzhi frowned: "I asked you what you think?"
"I'm really fine."
This was an irrelevant answer, so Yinzhi couldn't help but scrutinize him more closely: "Third Prince, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Yin Zhi smiled insincerely, ignoring everything else; he was truly a good person.
Yinzhi couldn't help but take two steps back; sometimes, people have to learn to grow up. So, Yinzhi immediately turned to Yinreng: "Second Prince, what do you think?"
Yinreng sneered. So you came to him because you were scared by the third prince? Is he someone who is easy to talk to?
“I looked with my eyes open.”
"Tsk," Yinzhi said unhappily, "That's why I don't like talking to you. And you call yourself Crown Prince..."
"Guarantee your innocence!"
Emperor Kangxi called out to him in displeasure.
Yinzhi, stubborn as ever, asked, "Father, you've recovered now. So, what do you think, Father?"
It's not appropriate to hit a child in public; he still cares about his reputation.
Kangxi clenched his fists and replied with a stiff face, "I will look up."
"..." Yinzhi rolled his eyes inelegantly. "Fine, fine, I can tell you two are father and son!"
Seeing that neither his father, elder brother, nor the crown prince were people he could afford to offend, he could only pull Yinzhen aside to discuss the matter.
As for severing diplomatic ties, let's postpone it for now.
"So, Ninth Brother, why do you think the Empress Dowager changed her name to this?"
Yinzhen glanced at him sideways, and seeing his pitiful appearance, he reluctantly forgave him. However, he also had a strong urge to complain: "I remember that the maidservant by the Empress Dowager's side was named Ruyi, the same Ruyi that Qingying wanted."
"Huh?" Yin was shocked. He really hadn't noticed. However, "Qingying didn't know? That can't be, can it?"
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for bestowing this name upon me. From this day forward, there will be no more Qingying in this world, only Ruyi. I will always remember your teachings, Empress Dowager."
"Cough cough cough..."
Yin was instantly taken aback by Qingying's—no, Ruyi's—answer. He could tell that she genuinely didn't know.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Yinzhen shook his head in disdain, looking down on Ruyi completely. Then, his eyes darted around as he looked at Yinzhen and provoked him, saying, "Fourth Brother, Ruyi is your daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
Yinzhen glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
Yinzhen wanted to continue, but Yinsi interrupted him with a smile: "Fourteenth Prince, Ruyi was taught by the former Empress Dowager Wuya, so in a strict sense, she is also your niece."
No, no, no.
Yinzhen shook his head frantically, "Don't get involved! She's from the Ulanara clan, not the Uya clan!"
Yinzhi's smile deepened: "But anyone who has seen the Heavenly Curtain knows that the previous Empress Ulanara was unwilling to teach her; it was Empress Dowager Uya who taught her, Fourteenth..."
Seeing Yinzhen speechless with shock, Yinsi comforted him with a look of regret: "Everyone knows that Consort De was unwilling to raise Fourth Brother. The only person she properly raised was you. Considering this, after seeing Qingying, what will people think of you?"
A bolt from the blue! Yinzhen's world was collapsing!
"However, you should also relax. This news is only circulating in the Forbidden City and the capital. Other people don't know the truth and won't say anything about you... Oh, I almost forgot, whether she was raised by the Uya clan or not doesn't affect the fact that she is a member of the Aisin Gioro clan. We would all be ashamed because of her. Wouldn't it be better to think about it this way?"
Not good at all!
Yinti cried out silently. Only after Yinsi said that did he realize that although both of them had lost face, he seemed to have lost face more!
Ugh, that hateful Qingying, that hateful Ruyi! Why did her mother in that world have to raise her like that?!
Seeing Yinzhen break down, Yinsi revealed a genuine smile. He thought to himself, "Ruyi is a great weapon for indiscriminate attacks. Fourth Brother, take a look at yourself first and see if you're a clown!"
