"Fake fairy!"
"Shameless!"
Yintang and Yin'e each said a sentence, and in their hearts, they defined Yinsi's character.
Aside from the life-saving favors that followed, the Eighth Prince Party, which should have been a prominent force in the Qing Dynasty, died out prematurely.
Yinzhen is now clinging to Yinreng's leg and having a great time.
Yin'e is a simple-minded boy. He does whatever Ninth Brother says, and he plays with whoever Ninth Brother plays with.
However, compared to Yinzhi, who made a lot of promises but never showed any action, Yin'e, following his conscience, preferred Yuqing Palace.
Putting aside others, the Crown Prince's second brother is rich!
He let things slip through his fingers, and they got quite a lot. Moreover, the chefs at Yuqing Palace were seasoned veterans who had gone through countless rounds of selection and discarded many good ingredients before they developed such delicious cooking skills that people would swallow their tongues.
Yin'e slurped his saliva: "Ninth Brother, let's go to Yuqing Palace tonight and mooch a meal from Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law."
The Imperial Concubine had just been holding Yin'e when she said, against her will, that he had lost weight.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine looked at him more closely. He was nowhere near thin; he was clearly a dark-skinned, overweight man, like a small coal mine.
The Imperial Concubine gave him a light slap on the bottom, and as Yin'e's cheeks flushed red, she said, "The Crown Prince and Consort Tong have just returned to the capital, and it's the perfect time to reorganize Yuqing Palace. What are you doing there causing trouble? Is your mother short of food or drink? All you ever do is go to Yuqing Palace to freeload."
Yin'e said innocently, "Mother, didn't you and Mother Yi say that Ninth Brother and I get along very well with Second Brother? You used to praise me, but now you scold me. You've changed!"
The Imperial Concubine laughed in exasperation. She turned to Consort Yi and said, "Sister, do you think this brat should be punished?"
"Fight! Fight together! Little Ten is honest and simple-minded, Little Nine must have instigated this." Consort Yi looked at Yin Tang with hostility: "Look how fat Little Nine is now, he hasn't lost weight even after going out, it's because he eats too many sweets and oily foods."
Yinzhen felt wronged. What did Yin'e's love of food have to do with him? They had similar natural interests, and he hadn't forced any food into his stomach.
"Mother, I'm innocent! Yin'e acted on his own; you can't implicate me!" Before Consort Yi could even slap him, Yin Tang wailed.
Yin'e's eyes darted around, and he followed Yin'tang.
The magnificent palace, resplendent in gold and imposing with strict rules, became incredibly down-to-earth under the weight of these two cries.
Both Consort Yi and Consort Gui were respectable women, renowned for their impeccable manners and etiquette. Unfortunately, they both ended up with unruly sons, causing them immense headaches.
The Imperial Concubine rubbed her temples: "You were just saying you'd make me a fox fur coat, but now you're only thinking about your second brother."
Yin'e cleverly replied, "Mother, the fox fur coat is for you. I'm going to eat at my second brother's place to save you money. They say a half-grown boy can eat his family out of house and home, I can't let Mother go broke."
The Imperial Concubine was taken aback: "You're going to Yuqing Palace without bringing a bow?"
Yin'e said magnanimously, "I am the younger brother, isn't it only natural for me to eat at my older brother's house? Mother, don't worry, even if I eat my second brother out of house and home, Father Emperor will still make up for it."
The Imperial Concubine turned her head and looked blankly at Consort Yi, who lowered her head in embarrassment.
She'd bet a tael of silver that Yin'e was definitely being led astray by Yin'tang.
No one knows a son better than his mother; Consort Yi did not wrong Yin Tang.
In the past, whenever Yin'e went to Yuqing Palace, he would always tell the Consort that he would bring some things with him.
Now things are different; the two brothers are only planning to give gifts to Tana and Hongzhao, but not to their elder brother and sister-in-law.
Occasionally, I would see that the flowers in the Imperial Garden were blooming beautifully, and I would break off a branch and bring it over.
The Imperial Concubine and Consort Yi sighed as they watched the two children acting like rascals and let them be.
That's true. There's no need for overly elaborate formalities with such young children. In the future, they can return the gifts as their mothers, and through this back-and-forth exchange, their bond will only grow stronger.
The Imperial Concubine and Consort Yi exchanged a few words of instruction, one finishing her sentence and the other adding to it.
Once he felt he had given enough instructions and saw that the two men were quite resilient, he let them go without worry.
Yinzhen and Yin'e cheered and clapped their hands, then turned and ran out. The servants who served them bowed and retreated after them. The servants walked on tiptoe, trying to follow the rules while keeping up with their masters, which exhausted them.
Consort Yi gazed at Yin Tang's retreating figure with a loving expression: "Sister, look at them like this, they've really given up."
The Imperial Concubine covered her mouth and laughed heartily: "It's good for boys to be a little more robust. You and I have been worried about each other in the palace for so long, but today I can finally relax."
The Imperial Concubine only has one son, Yin'e. Judging from Yin'e's character, it would be best if he stayed away from power struggles and lived a carefree life as a prince.
Consort Yi's eyes suddenly filled with sadness, and the Imperial Concubine squeezed her hand: "Yinzhi has just turned seven. No matter what, he has made it through so long. He is blessed to have met you. You must take good care of your health. Not to mention taking care of the younger one, there is also Yinqi and Yintang. You will need to look after them from now on."
Consort Yi picked up her handkerchief, dabbed at the corner of her eye, and wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes: "Sister, you are comforting me. I understand why the Emperor dares not spend too much time with the Eleventh Prince. Look at me now, every time the imperial physician comes, my heart aches."
"What am I saying? Every family has its own troubles. I've had a smooth life. Let's continue looking at the accounts. There are too many things to manage in the inner palace," Consort Yi said with a smile on her face again.
Consort Yi adjusted her mood and cheered herself up, and Consort Gui was happy to follow her lead and divert her attention to other things.
Yintang and Yin'e chased after him all the way to the entrance of Yuqing Palace, where they happened to meet Yinreng returning from Qianqing Palace.
Upon seeing the main character, Yin'e pounced on Yinreng's legs like a fledgling returning to its nest.
"When are you going to change this habit? How old are you? You've almost broken my leg." Yinreng scolded, but he was smiling.
Yin'e grinned foolishly and said affectionately, "Second brother is in good health, he won't get hurt. Second brother, what are we having for dinner tonight? Mongolian barbecue is delicious, but after eating it for more than ten years, my stomach churns at the sight of oily food."
Yinzhen looked up at Yinreng expectantly: "You have to eat vegetarian food, I have blisters in my mouth."
After Yinzhen finished speaking, he opened his mouth to show Yinreng.
Yinreng pushed his face away in disgust. Who wanted to see what the bubbles in his mouth looked like?
"These matters are under your Second Sister-in-law's management. If you want to eat well tonight, you'll have to please the right person first. You've been to Yuqing Palace so many times, don't you still remember?" Yinreng walked in front, with the two children following behind like little tails.
One after another, Yinreng appeared to be very grand.
Yinzhen said sweetly, "Second Sister-in-law is kind-hearted and will definitely prepare delicious food for us. But Second Brother, you are the Crown Prince and Second Sister-in-law's husband. If we don't inform you first, what if you ask Second Sister-in-law to shut the door and not see us?"
"Prevention is better than cure?" Yinreng said.
Yin Tang hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Yinreng stopped and tapped him on the head: "What you're thinking is, 'It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings,' right? In your eyes, I am that underling!"
