Yinzhen continued, "Since your youngest son is also going to start his studies, and he's about the same age as my son, why don't they start together? It'll be good for them to have a companion, and they won't find it boring to study together."
Zhang Ying: "Your Majesty is right. This servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of Tinglu."
With just a few words, Yinzhen appointed Bobo's teacher and a study companion.
Of course, Bobo can't have just one study companion. He's still young, and Yinzhen doesn't plan to prepare many for his early education. One study companion is enough.
Yinzhen had told Yunrong about choosing Zhang Ying as Bobo's first teacher. Yunrong was also aware that Zhang Ying was mentioned quite extensively in official history.
Yunrong's first reaction upon learning this was, "Isn't this a waste of talent?" Zhang Ying's approach to her son's early education felt like a university professor giving a lecture to a kindergarten.
Yinzhen didn't expect Yunrong to think of this. Yinzhen said, "Don't worry about that. Zhang Ying has experience in teaching children. In addition, he is cautious and careful. I wouldn't trust anyone else to teach Bobo. Children's temperaments are easily spoiled. Zhang Ying is very suitable to teach her."
Since Yinzhen had said so, Yunrong naturally had no objections.
Yunrong: "By the way, Bobo is starting his education, so we should also pick a name. We can't just keep calling him Bobo all the time, it's not appropriate."
Yinzhen had to consider the name and had even chosen several, but of course he couldn't choose one that started with the character "Yin" from his previous life.
Yinzhen: "What do you think of calling him Tuyuan?"
Yunrong really didn't expect it. Perhaps it was out of habit, but Yunrong thought it would start with the character "胤" (Yin). However, it didn't. With this question in mind, Yunrong asked, "Why doesn't it start with the character '胤' (Yin)?"
Yinzhen didn't know how to explain it. He didn't want to fool Yunrong. The two of them had reached this point, and there was no use in hiding these things. Yinzhen had no choice but to send someone away, and even his son was taken away.
After everyone had left, Yinzhen said, "I have to be honest with you about something. I've told you before that I had a rather magical experience, that I was an emperor myself, but what I didn't say is that I am not the Kangxi Emperor."
Yunrong was startled: "What?"
Yunrong thought he was going to say that he was an emperor from another dynasty.
Yinzhen then said, "I am the Yongzheng Emperor."
Yunrong was startled. This was too amazing! She had transmigrated into her father's body.
Yunrong: "When did you travel here?"
Yunrong was very curious.
Yinzhen: "The ninth year of Kangxi's reign."
Yunrong recalled that in the ninth year of Kangxi's reign, Consort Rong was revealed to be pregnant. This should have been Kangxi's own pregnancy. After that, no one else became pregnant except for her. It is conceivable that Yinzhen lived a life like a monk during that time.
"You've had it tough too!" Yunrong said with deep emotion.
Yinzhen didn't understand Yunrong's meaning. He thought she felt that these years had been difficult, so he said, "Fortunately, before I came, Father had already subdued Aobai and assumed power. The political situation is relatively clear."
Yunrong didn't think there was anything wrong with Yinzhen hiding this matter. She wasn't love-struck and wanted to know every aspect of her lover. Besides, the matter was indeed a bit complicated.
The two of them settled on the name of Bobo: Aisin Gioro Tuyuan. If there is any meaning to it, it is probably that they hope Bobo can go far and have a long life!
It can be considered a beautiful hope.
When Zhang Ying got home, she called Tinglu over first. As the youngest son in the family, Tinglu lived a much more comfortable life than his two older brothers. Tinglu's mother was also willing to spoil him, since he was the youngest son.
However, his personality was not spoiled. He was most afraid of his father, Zhang Ying, because his father would not relax his requirements for him just because he was the youngest son.
Tinglu said he hadn't started learning to read, but that just meant he hadn't formally begun learning to read. He had a good relationship with his second brother, who was three years older than him, and often went to Zhang Tingyu's place. Zhang Tingyu was exceptionally talented in the Four Books and Five Classics and loved learning, so Tinglu learned a lot from him.
When Tinglu was called over, he thought he was going to be scolded! After all, his father would only call him into the study when he was being scolded; otherwise, he would never be called into the study.
When Tinglu first entered the study, he was a little scared and asked cautiously, "Father, why did you call me here?" As he spoke, Tinglu searched his meager memory, but he couldn't remember getting into any trouble recently!
Zhang Ying could tell what he was thinking from his expression, and said irritably, "I won't punish you today, but your father has something to tell you."
Tinglu thought to herself that it would be fine if he wasn't punished, and then smiled and said, "Father, you say it."
Zhang Ying: "You should have officially started your studies last year, but it was delayed for a year. Now that your health has recovered, the Emperor will issue an edict soon. From now on, you will be the study companion of the prince born to the Empress. After the prince's birthday, you will enter the palace to accompany him in his studies."
Although Tinglu was young, he knew what kind of person the Emperor was.
Tinglu felt a little lost when she thought about going to the palace to study, and even going with the emperor's son: "Father, can I not go?"
It's no wonder Tinglu hesitated. He was young and the youngest in his family. With his two older brothers as examples, he originally thought he would be taught at home like them. But instead, he was going to an unfamiliar place, so naturally he was afraid.
Zhang Ying didn't want her son to become a study companion, but it was the Emperor's grace: "Don't worry, your father will be your first teacher and won't let you enter the palace alone."
Tinglu felt much more relaxed after hearing this. Although he thought his father was a bit serious, he was still his father, and he felt at ease with him around.
Tinglu: "Then the son will go with his father."
