Moreover, because of the reforms Mingxiu implemented in the palace, the people in the palace lived a good life and were not bored. There was little competition between them, and they got along very well. Therefore, Yinzhi in this life also grew up in a comfortable environment.
Only Yinzhen still felt a little awkward. Yinzhi looked at his expression, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, don't hold a grudge against the Crown Prince. There is a big age difference between us and him, so there is no need to care. If you really feel that you can't get over him, then just study hard and surpass him, or do something that the Crown Prince can't do, then no one will keep praising you, right?"
Yinzhi gave Yinsi a resentful look: "Seventh Brother."
Yinzhi shook his head with amusement and said nothing more.
On the contrary, Yinreng was surprised when he heard about it outside. He was surprised that he was so outstanding, and that everyone was praising him behind his back.
Why don't you praise him to his face? He won't get arrogant.
Yinreng was secretly pleased, and then he heard what Yinreng said next. He didn't think it was a bad thing that Yinreng was competing with him in his heart. It would be best if Yinreng could really make something that he couldn't make. Then he would definitely give him an important position.
However, Yinreng felt he had high hopes for him. He had just looked at everyone's papers, and this Yinreng was not good at anything else, but he was particularly talented in numbers and got the highest scores.
No, this kind of person needs to be nurtured properly. We can't waste any more time here. Wouldn't it be better if he became successful sooner?
And then there's Yinzhi. Yinreng was also pleasantly surprised. He's quite a good little donkey. His eloquence is excellent, no matter where he's placed, he'll be great.
Yinreng returned home happily, not expecting to discover two promising talents during this trip. He needed to hurry back to organize the math-related materials and then give them to Yinreng to study.
Yin, who was still sulking in the study, never imagined that his good math skills would bring him so much suffering in the future.
Mingxiu was looking at the palace's account books. Recently, several princes in the court had proposed to bring their mothers back to their residences to live in luxury. Kangxi was still considering it, but he would probably agree.
Kangxi didn't have many brothers to begin with, and none of them had much real power. Even if they were brought back, there wouldn't be any turmoil. Mingxiu was thinking about what should be done with the people in the palace after the imperial concubines were brought back.
In fact, Mingxiu's idea was to send some more people out later, so that the palace maids could go home and reunite with their families, and the palace could save some expenses. What a good thing!
However, there are many issues involved, so Kangxi is still struggling with the decision.
After all, if these imperial concubines are taken back, wouldn't those imperial concubines without children feel uncomfortable and then cause trouble?
And if I abdicate after that, will my concubines also be taken back? Will the concubines who don't have children have any objections?
Kangxi wasn't worried about their opinions, but it would definitely disrupt the peace of the harem, and then Mingxiu would probably have to deal with it.
Mingxiu listened to Kangxi's concerns but felt it was alright.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I can handle it. Besides, these concubines in the harem don't have many opportunities to leave the palace. It would be good if they could go out and enjoy themselves in front of their children when they get old. In addition, most of the concubines in the palace actually have children. Even if there are a few with low rank, they won't cause any trouble."
Mingxiu reassured Kangxi, and then the matter was settled.
Suddenly, the harem became lively. Some were happy, and some were sad. After entering the palace, no one thought they would ever be able to leave again.
I never thought I'd have the chance to leave the palace again. Even though I'll wait until the children are older before taking them out, it's still something to look forward to.
Which woman in the palace doesn't want to go out?
People with children are now very grateful that they had a child. For example, Consort Hui and Consort Rong were overjoyed when they learned that their children would be able to take them away in the future, and they found their children even more pleasing to the eye.
However, those without children were more distressed. When Little Hesheli heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. Even so, she really didn't want to serve the emperor when she first came in, and now it was too late to say anything.
"Your Majesty, could we ask the Imperial Noble Consort and the Emperor to..." The palace maid behind Xiao Hesheli couldn't help but offer a suggestion when she saw her mistress in this state.
Anyway, since my lady and the Imperial Noble Consort have a good relationship, could she talk to the Emperor and ask him to grant my lady a child, so that my lady can leave the palace?
"Shut up! Who gave you permission to have such thoughts? I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone about this, especially not the Imperial Noble Consort," said Xiao Hesheli sharply.
"But what will you do, Your Highness?" As your humble palace maid, I truly feel sorry for my mistress.
Little Hesheli looked at her seriously and said, "I am very happy living in the palace, as you should know. Besides, I have never thought about leaving the palace since I entered it. What's so good about leaving the palace? If you leave the palace, you will have to face some people you don't want to see. It's not as good as being in the palace. If you don't want to see them, you have plenty of reasons to refuse." "Moreover, the Imperial Noble Consort treats me very well, even better than my own sisters. So this is something I feel I can't say, you know?"
"I understand, but I certainly won't tell."
Little Hesheli turned around only when she saw that she really knew. She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, her eyes filled with sorrow. That lively and enthusiastic boy, that boy who always thought of bringing her gifts when he went out, was no longer there.
Even if you go out, what's the use? The people who cared about you and thought of you are all gone. All that's left are people who want to drink your blood and eat your flesh.
All the people who care about her are in the palace now, so there's no need for her to leave.
"Your Majesty, you may not have any ideas, but I think many people in the palace do, and I'm afraid others will make a move," said a palace maid beside Xiao Hesheli, recounting news she had heard in other palaces.
It was because he heard the news in other palaces that he thought of having his own concubine do the same.
Little Hesheli sneered: "Then let them dig their own graves. We don't need to worry about it. I'm sure the Imperial Noble Consort knows what's going on. We just need to live our own lives."
