Yinreng was too lazy to pay attention to Yinsi. If he really took him seriously, wouldn't that be giving him too much credit?
Yinreng sat down in the chair, looked at Yinsi, and didn't say a word.
Yinzhi organized his thoughts, bowed, and said, "My wife is under house arrest and cannot leave the house. I have come to apologize to my sister-in-law on her behalf. After my wife is released from confinement, she will come to ask for my sister-in-law's forgiveness in person."
"It's been a few days since this happened," Yinreng said, tapping the table with his finger, making a dull thud.
Yinzhi lowered his head: "Yes."
"I heard that the Princess Consort of Prince An entered the palace today?" Yinreng asked again.
Yinreng bit his lip awkwardly: "Yes."
"Heh." Yinreng let out a cold laugh and said sarcastically, "It's quite surprising that Eighth Sister-in-law would bow down and beg for mercy for the sake of her maternal family."
His unspoken message was that since the Eighth Prince's wife could admit her mistake for the sake of the Prince An's mansion, the Tong family could naturally retaliate against the Prince An's mansion out of pity for their daughter.
Everyone's protecting their own family. Why should others have to go easy on your family just because you're not capable?
You were the one who provoked us first, and now you're the one begging for mercy after being bullied. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I will not entertain Eighth Brother any longer. Please leave." Yinreng directly told him to leave.
Instead of simply offering tea and sending the guest away, Yinreng deliberately turned him away, showing he had no intention of giving Yinsi any face.
Yinzhi clenched his fist in embarrassment, not even daring to glare at Yinreng.
“It was my younger brother who abruptly came to our door and disturbed you, Second Brother Crown Prince. This is an apology gift prepared for your sister-in-law; please accept it on her behalf, Second Brother,” said Yinzhi.
Yinreng glanced at it disdainfully: "Yuqing Palace has no shortage of these things, Eighth Brother, take them back."
With his wishes repeatedly rejected, even the most good-tempered Yinzhi could no longer tolerate it.
He held his breath and returned to the prince's residence, locking himself in his study for half a day.
The following day, Yinreng was summoned by Emperor Kangxi, who specifically inquired about this matter.
Emperor Kangxi laughed at him, saying, "You really have a domineering temper."
Yinreng said confidently, "I follow your example, Father Emperor. Isn't the current state of Prince An's Mansion something you tacitly approved of, or even encouraged?"
Although the Tong family members were known for their strong tempers, they always understood the Emperor's heart and knew how to read Kangxi's mood.
If Emperor Kangxi hadn't tacitly approved, they wouldn't have acted so blatantly.
"I was just asking, and you got angry," Kangxi said indulgently.
Yinreng could act coquettishly in front of Emperor Kangxi, even though he was almost thirty years old.
But Emperor Kangxi fell for this trick. In a father's eyes, even if his son is seventy or eighty years old, he is still the toddler who is taking his first steps and relying on him.
Yinzhi had no way to plead for mercy and could only endure it.
In June, as the weather gradually became hot, Emperor Kangxi once again longed to visit Changchun Garden.
The entire family of six from Yuqing Palace were among those who went to Changchun Garden.
A place that Emperor Kangxi would go to great lengths to stay in every year must be an excellent one.
After finishing his studies with Shi Xiuzhu for half a day, Hongsheng received the news and excitedly ran back to Nanyuan, rushing into Tong Wanyan's arms, covered in sweat.
"Mother, can I go to Changchun Garden this year? I heard that Grandpa Huang's Changchun Garden is especially beautiful!" Hongsheng's eyes sparkled.
Although Yuqing Palace has been expanded, he has long been tired of visiting it after living there for so many years.
The Imperial Garden was indeed large, but as a young prince, he couldn't go there often. Emperor Kangxi's concubines frequently visited, making him, as a junior, feel uncomfortable.
Now that a new place has arrived, and it's not a place that everyone can stay in, Hongsheng is itching with curiosity and can't wait to move in.
