"Second Brother..."
These words snapped him out of his reverie and brought him back to the somewhat cruel but unavoidable reality.
But if he were to actually face this situation, he wouldn't know what to do.
How can I avoid being taken back by Consort De? He is still so young, and Father Khan would never allow him to live alone. He will definitely have to rely on that consort.
All of this created a very chaotic mess of thoughts in his mind, making it impossible for him to find a starting point to think about it.
To be blunt, he would rather there never have been this mother-son relationship than have been used by someone else…
Yinreng frowned as well. This was indeed a difficult matter. After all, the fourth prince's imperial genealogy was still with Consort De. Although he was the crown prince, he was still so young. His father might be willing to send him out to cultivate his abilities, or even give him power.
However, he was really not suited to get involved in such matters, after all, Consort De was his elder.
Others might think that the Crown Prince's status is much higher than that of a mere concubine.
However, he could think this in his heart, but he could not show it outwardly as a disrespectful attitude towards Han Ama's women.
His return to Consort De's side was a natural and logical thing to do.
If the fourth prince were to suddenly say he didn't want to go back, and if he were to clearly express his opposition to this view, everyone in the palace would regard him as a heartless traitor.
Then his reputation would be ruined. If his reputation is ruined, how can he be trusted by the Khan and entrusted with important responsibilities in the future?
Therefore, this matter must never be brought up by him. Even if Consort De brings it up, how could Consort De possibly abandon this son?
And it's not just him who shouldn't say that; even his older brother shouldn't.
And then there's this group of younger generation. None of them are suitable to directly participate in this matter. The only ones who can influence this matter are the elders in the palace or Yinzhen himself.
"Second Brother doesn't have a good solution to this matter right now... First, you shouldn't show any particular friendliness towards Consort De. If you show that kind of affection, Father will definitely arrange for you to go there. But you can't show any strong dislike either... Father likes children who evoke pity." Yinreng said, struggling with the situation. Finding the right balance is actually quite difficult. Yinreng didn't have much confidence in Yinzhen either, and even if he were to do it, it probably wouldn't be easy for him.
He tried to offer some suggestions to Yinzhen, hoping they would be of some help to them!
"If Father asks, just say that you still miss Empress Tongjia... and can't bear it... Don't worry about this. Empress Tongjia has just passed away, so Father can't arrange things so quickly. He'll definitely ask for your opinion first! If there are other things, don't tell his mother directly. Discuss them with us first. It's always better to pool our wisdom than to do it alone." Yinreng felt that he hadn't spoken such a long passage in a long time.
Yinreng sometimes felt sorry for his father, the Khan, who, including his own mother, had already lost three empresses…
Yinzhen pondered for a moment, nodded, and made a mental note of what his second brother had said.
Then he suddenly wondered why he couldn't live alone. After all, his second brother, the Crown Prince, had been raised by his father since he was very young, and moved to Yuqing Palace after reaching a certain age.
He's already quite grown up; he can stay in the Prince's Residence until he's an adult, then move out of the palace and build his own residence elsewhere.
He didn't feel anything was wrong; even without his mother, he felt fine.
He's already nine years old. It shouldn't take him more than nine years to leave the palace! Why must we choose another person…?
He remained stubbornly unyielding, absolutely unwilling to let Consort De, his own mother, tarnish the image of his mother in his heart. He stubbornly believed that his only true mother was Empress Tongjia…
Yinreng comforted him for a while, "Alright, now that you understand, hurry up and have your meal. The nannies around you are all very anxious. They all have to rely on you in the future."
"Thank you, Second Brother." Yinzhen's voice was hoarse. At this moment, he suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, taking on some of the responsibilities that his mother had once carried, because he was the hope of everyone in the palace.
In the past, the entire Chengqian Palace regarded Mother as their hope and depended on her for everything.
Later, after her mother passed away, many of the elderly people in Chengqian Palace were dismissed, and several palace maids left with tears in their eyes.
Yinzhen witnessed all of these things firsthand. Although he was immersed in grief at the time, it was best to help the nanny beside him to sort out the people before returning to keep vigil.
Only if he recovers can the palace maids and eunuchs recover, and the old women be able to retire in peace. If he doesn't recover...
Or perhaps she really was sent to Consort De's side. What would happen to the maids who served her? Would Consort De be willing to keep them by her side?
He felt as if he had gained another reason to be independent, with so many people around him relying on him.
When Yinreng left, it was already completely dark outside.
He led the group forward, with the little eunuchs beside him carefully carrying lanterns.
"Your Highness, if the Emperor finds out you've come..."
Yinreng waved his hand. "Could I just stand by and watch my brother grieve without saying a word? Khan Aman is a man of true feelings, still immersed in grief. I must show brotherly affection and comfort him properly." He said this. In truth, even without considering such things, he couldn't possibly watch his fourth brother refuse to eat.
After all, he was still her younger brother. And now he was also one of Meile's mother's people, so they could be considered to be in the same boat. When Yinzhen saw Yinreng, it was as if he saw his former self, who had also gone through a long period of confusion and unease.
As for winning people's hearts, Yinreng is only doing what he wants to do and what he feels he should do. He hasn't thought that far ahead yet. Besides, his father is energetic and vigorous. If they were to engage in such petty schemes, they would be asking for trouble.
They're all under 10 years old, why would they need to get involved?
The eunuchs lowered their heads. The crown prince's mind was becoming increasingly settled, and sometimes he didn't even need their opinions.
