Soetu smiled.
He really couldn't help but laugh.
The Crown Prince is not interested in beautiful women? What a joke!
From the moment he was born, Yinreng knew how to choose beautiful wet nurses, and as he grew up, all the servants he chose were outstanding in appearance.
Not attracted to beautiful women?
Others said they could believe Suo'etu, but Yinreng said he would never believe it.
Soetu's reaction left Yinreng feeling quite helpless.
He is self-aware and aware of his minor shortcomings.
"I do not believe there is anyone in the world more beautiful than my concubine," Yinreng said.
Soetu stopped laughing; he couldn't laugh, and instead felt like crying.
Although he hadn't met Tong Wanyan many times, every time he bumped into her in the palace, Suo'etu was so amazed that he couldn't come to his senses.
Even with his extensive knowledge, Suo'etu had to admit that Yinreng was right.
"Uncle, I believe Father is a wise and virtuous emperor," Yinreng said, extinguishing Suo'etu's ulterior motives.
An emperor cannot tolerate someone sleeping beside him on his bed. A subordinate with ability may be given as much power as he desires. The only exception is that they cannot influence the emperor's choices.
Suo'etu was drenched in cold sweat. He knew the reasoning perfectly well, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to seek wealth and fortune in danger, to take a big gamble.
"That's all I have to say. I hope that Uncle will not do anything to make things difficult for me in the future. The reason why the Tong family has won the Emperor's favor is because they know their limits and don't overstep their bounds," Yinreng said.
The news of Yinreng's visit to Suo'etu's residence was quickly presented to Emperor Kangxi.
Now, Kangxi and Yinreng have a very good relationship. The father and son are close and don't need to hide their feelings. If they don't understand something, they can ask without any misunderstandings.
So, when Yinreng returned to the palace, carrying a plate of Osmanthus Duck, he was invited by Liang Jiugong to the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Kangxi sat in his chair, deep in thought about whether his precious son would be tricked by that old fox, Suo'etu, once again. His brows were furrowed, and he looked very unhappy.
Suddenly, he smelled the aroma of Osmanthus Duck and his stomach rumbled with hunger.
After receiving the news, Emperor Kangxi, who had been worrying for half a day, got hungry.
Yinreng, carrying the Osmanthus Duck as if it were an elegant object, approached Kangxi with a graceful demeanor and gave a crisp bow.
Kangxi forced his gaze away from the small parchment package: "You've left the palace again?"
“A few days ago, Consort Shi visited the Crown Princess in the palace and mentioned that there were rumors circulating outside the palace that my son wanted Nalijia’s daughter to be his secondary consort. The source of the rumors was a flower-viewing banquet hosted by Hesheli. Since she is the Empress Dowager’s niece, my son went to give Suo’etu a warning and told him to keep the Hesheli clan in check,” Yinreng said frankly.
He didn't realize that Kangxi was staring intently at the enticingly fragrant Osmanthus Duck, and even waved his hand.
Kangxi coughed lightly, clenching his fist: "He's getting old, and he's a bit tactless. If something like this happens again, I'll speak to him on his behalf. Your mother was cared for by him when she was young, so she should call him uncle. It's not good for you to go there so bluntly."
Yinreng leaned close to Kangxi affectionately and said, "Father is right. Your son will listen to Father."
Yinreng was standing too close, and Kangxi was startled to see a handsome face magnified in front of him.
However, seeing the trusting and admiring look in Yinreng's eyes, Kangxi was pleased.
"I think Yuanbao'er and the Crown Princess are both very good. Now is the time for you to establish your career, and it is not advisable for you to be obsessed with women. I will not choose any concubines for you. If you see someone you like in the future, and whose status is acceptable, I will bestow her upon you." Having experienced several natural disasters, Emperor Kangxi did not dare to easily bestow people upon Yinreng.
Otherwise, if the protective God were to torment him again, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Yinreng pursed his lips, afraid that he would laugh out loud.
Father Emperor is becoming more and more considerate of him; he truly deserves to be called his father.
You give me a peach, I'll give you a precious jade in return.
Emperor Kangxi always did things in a way that pleased Yinreng, so Yinreng naturally had to be a good son who was filial to his father.
The good relationship between the emperor and his son was the greatest good thing for the Qing Dynasty.
Five months into the Hongsheng reign, the thirty-second year of the Kangxi reign was drawing to a close.
Tong Qinian, who had been sent out of Beijing with his family, returned to Beijing with his wife and children to celebrate the New Year after completing the task assigned by Emperor Kangxi.
Previously, Emperor Kangxi had sent Tong Qinian to Guangzhou to oversee coastal trade, from which Tong Qinian made a fortune.
When he returned to Beijing before the New Year, he specially packed a large box of gemstone jewelry that he had bought from foreigners and gave it to Tong Wanyan.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Princess Jiarong and Princess Shuo led Tong Qinian and her son into the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.
As expected, the family had lunch at Yuqing Palace.
Holding her sleeping son, Jia Rong and Gege were less domineering than before, and more gentle and loving as mothers.
What remained unchanged was her continued attraction to Tong Wanyan. She completely disregarded her son and husband.
The two best friends hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say to each other, showing no signs of awkwardness that comes with getting married and reconnecting.
Yinreng and Tong Qinian became stay-at-home dads, comparing their own children to each other.
The two larger ones are incomparable, but the two smaller ones are exactly the same size, and their temperaments and preferences are very similar.
Tong Qinian received a letter from Tong Wanyan a while ago, saying that Tana and Hongzhao had lost weight. But when he read it just now, he was speechless.
Looking at Hongsheng and his son, who were lying side by side in swaddling clothes, Tong Qinian said, "The Second Prince is being raised so well."
That's right, he's a whole size bigger than his son.
Yin still looked up at the sky, ignoring Tong Qinian's words.
How can royalty appear wealthy if they aren't plump? His children are all round and plump, which is because of the good feng shui of Yuqing Palace and how well he raises them.
Seeing Tong Wanyan and Jiarong and Princess Shuo holding hands and talking, Yin changed the subject and said, "You shouldn't be sent out of the capital this year, so let Jiarong come to the palace often to keep Xiaoyan company."
Tong Qinian was surprised by Yin Reng's words: "Okay."
Tong Qinian's gaze was too obvious, and Yin still felt very uncomfortable.
"The Crown Princess is too attached to Xiao Yan. Rather than letting her be inseparable from Xiao Yan, it would be better to let Jia Rong do it. I reckon that when Hong Sheng selects the Haha Pearls, your son will definitely take a spot. Since that's the case, it's better to let them develop their relationship sooner." After saying what he really thought, Yin still had to make excuses for his jealous behavior.
Tong Qinian couldn't help but laugh. The Crown Prince had already had three children, and he was still so close to his sister. It was a good thing.
"This servant understands," Tong Qinian replied.
Yinreng smiled happily, wanting to see how the Crown Princess would continue to spout nonsense in front of Xiaoyan with Jiarong around.
Although Jia Rong was close to Xiao Yan, she knew her limits and would speak well of him.
My cousin, whom I've raised for many years, can finally be put to good use.
Yinreng thought to himself that if Jiarong and Princess Shuo knew, they would definitely spit in his face.
What a shameless face! She was raised by his older brother and has absolutely no relation to him, the crown prince.
Yin was still with Tong Qinian, and they talked mostly about politics.
Asking them to talk about everyday family matters is simply asking too much trouble.
