In any case, the meeting between the brothers and sisters-in-law was successfully completed.
I was originally going to pay my respects at the Ning Shou Palace, but the Empress Dowager caught a cold a few days ago, so the visit was cancelled.
Since they can't move out of the palace anytime soon, they'll always have time to kowtow and pay their respects.
"Mother is still waiting for us. My brother and his wife will go and pay their respects first."
Rather than remain silent, Yinzhi chose to go directly to pay his respects to Consort Liang.
After Yinzhi and his wife left, Dong'e Hailan said gloatingly, "This is going to be quite a show. With Eighth Brother's wife's temper, it'll be interesting to see her clash with Consort Liang."
"Third sister-in-law is right." With Yin You around, Seventh Princess Consort has become much bolder.
Fifth Prince's wife felt uncomfortable thinking about what Eighth Prince's wife had said earlier.
Among her sisters-in-law, her family background was the lowest. She was even treated coldly because of this when she first got married.
The Eighth Prince's wife's arrogant and disdainful attitude really stung her.
Fifth Princess Consort couldn't help but say, "Yesterday when I paid my respects to the Empress Dowager, I mentioned Eighth Sister-in-law. The Empress Dowager said that she is old and there is no need for the younger generation to visit her so often."
The Empress Dowager has always enjoyed lively discussions, and everyone knows perfectly well who she was referring to when she said those words.
The First Princess Consort glanced at everyone's expressions and roughly understood that the Eighth Princess Consort, this new bride, had incurred the wrath of the crowd.
She no longer tries to be a peacemaker; ever since Yinti stopped trying to compete with Yinreng, she's had a much easier time.
Finally, Tong Wanyan stepped forward and said, "Since it's not easy for all the brothers to get together, why don't we have lunch at Yuqing Palace?"
It was indeed a rare opportunity for all the princes, plus their wives, to gather together.
Yinreng agreed, saying, "In a few months, most of you will have to move out of the palace, and it won't be as convenient to meet as it is in the palace. Let's have a good get-together today, brothers, and enjoy the good food and wine to our hearts' content."
Yinti said, "You haven't drunk the good wine you snatched from me last time, have you? You have to bring it out today."
"Why are you always staring at me? Fourth Prince also has good wine, go ask him." Yinreng was reluctant to part with it; he planned to hide a batch of good wine for Tana's wedding.
Yinti raised an eyebrow and slapped Yinreng on the shoulder, the pain resounding.
“I’ve been at odds with you for over a decade, and I have no intention of finding someone else to bully,” Yinti said.
"Alright, alright, just keep an eye on me, I'll let you keep an eye on me. The court is short of people right now, and since you came back from Fuzhou, I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. Brother, you're capable, so keep up the good work!" Yinreng patted Yinti's shoulder in return.
It is impolite not to reciprocate, and Yinreng has always been the most polite person.
The First Princess grabbed Yinti's sleeve, telling him to shut up.
You haven't won many times in all these years, so don't go looking for thrills.
Since the brothers are going to Yuqing Palace for a get-together, they will definitely bring the young princes along as well.
With so many people, Yuqing Palace was so crowded that there wasn't even room to move.
When the young princes went to Yuqing Palace, they would definitely have to report to Emperor Kangxi.
Unsurprisingly, Kangxi happily praised Yinreng to Liang Jiugong once again.
The Crown Prince is a good Crown Prince; he is so loving towards his brothers.
Given the eldest son's bad temper, he often provokes the Crown Prince, yet the Crown Prince still treats him well, which shows how magnanimous he is.
After I pass away, I can confidently hand over the Qing Dynasty to him.
Liang Jiugong chimed in obediently, praising Yinreng even more lavishly than Kangxi himself. He practically declared that Yinreng would be comparable to Yao, Shun, and Yu, a wise and virtuous ruler following in Kangxi's footsteps.
The palace maid serving tea listened in the tea room and clicked her tongue in amazement.
As expected of Chief Steward Liang, his ability to coax people is unmatched by anyone in the entire Imperial Household Department combined.
