Yinzhen's leg twitched reflexively.
The black bird, with its beady black eyes, saw him and then fluttered its wings and flew in circles around his head.
"Stop dreaming, you fool!" Xuan Niao shortened Yinreng's words to be concise and to the point, which only incited hatred.
Yinzhen had already told his own brother, but now he was being mocked by a parrot. He couldn't stand it.
He stood up, ready to catch the black bird.
Even Yinreng couldn't control this bird, so how could Yintang possibly defeat it?
He chased the black bird around for a while, but didn't even manage to pluck a single feather.
It wasn't until he bent over, panting heavily, and clutched his legs that he realized he'd been tricked.
"Foolish son, you can't catch it, you can't catch it." The black bird laughed wildly.
Yinzhen's eyes reddened with anger, and he looked at Yinreng with a wronged expression.
Yinreng shook his sleeping youngest son and laughed, "Didn't you always laugh at me for not being able to tame even a parrot?"
Yinzhen bowed and admitted his mistake: "Second brother, I was wrong."
“Admitting your mistake is useless. The only ones who can subdue the Black Bird are your second sister-in-law and Tana,” Yinreng said.
Yinzhen gaped in surprise: "This is a lecherous parrot!"
Yinreng's face darkened. Some things are better left unthought; thinking too much about them can lead to terrifying thoughts.
Considering that there are more than a handful of masters in Yuqing Palace, Xuan Niao only listens to the two beauties, one big and one small, and disdains the other male masters.
"Wait until I pluck its feathers," Yinreng said angrily.
Yinzhen secretly grumbled, "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, tomorrow never comes. My second brother, the Crown Prince, really doesn't have a high position in Yuqing Palace."
If they can't catch the parrot, there's also Yinzhen, who's panting and can't walk.
Yinreng glanced at him sideways and said sarcastically, "Look how fat you are, your face is like a full moon. You were clearly as pretty as a girl when you were little, but now even the Tenth Prince is more refined than you. Don't come to Yuqing Palace to freeload on sweets anymore. How old are you? Still so greedy for food."
"Second Brother, don't insult someone for being fat," Yinzhen said.
Yinreng chuckled: "I need you to go see Hongsheng once, so he doesn't grow up to be like you."
Yinzhen, with his belly protruding, said, "Alright, alright, just don't cut off my snacks. Mother and Consort Gui won't let me eat sweets, and they're keeping an eye on me and my wife. The Tenth Prince is in the same boat as me; he's not allowed to eat fatty meat. You tell me, life is hard enough as it is; if I don't eat something sweet, how can I get through it?"
Yinreng picked up Hongyan and stood up, his movements perfectly executed.
"Is that just a tiny bit of sugar you're eating? You practically add honey to your water. Be careful, or you'll lose all your teeth in a few years." Yinreng walked towards the South Garden.
Yin Tang followed closely behind him: "Second Brother, don't scare me. I rinsed my mouth properly. I was young before and didn't know what was important. Now I know when to stop, and I promise I'll only eat a little bit more."
“It’s easy to discuss. Your second sister-in-law and I haven’t been out of the palace to stroll around the capital for a long time. Would you be the host to accompany us?” Yinreng said, “I will ask the Minister of Revenue for half a day off for you.”
Yinzhen couldn't be happier than to avoid the stingy old face of the Minister of Revenue.
He nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Second Brother. You're such a kind person."
The two brothers chatted and laughed all the way to Nanyuan. Hongyan, who was sleeping in Yinreng's arms, did not wake up at all.
Yin Tang was shocked: "Second brother, my nephew Hong Yan can eat and sleep so much, he was born to enjoy life."
Yinreng looked at him as if he were a fool. He had been reborn as the son of the Crown Prince, and a young one at that. With such a status, unless the entire Qing Dynasty was overthrown, what else could he do but enjoy a life of luxury?
They are destined for wealth and honor, something that can't be envied.
