Jingrou was unaware of Yinreng's inner turmoil.
But after asking her grandmother's opinion, she was still more willing to attend the gathering at the estate.
Hesheli didn't care. Prince An was already in a "semi-retired" state. In fact, Hesheli could have skipped these banquets, but her old friends always thought it best to get together more often.
For older women like them, they probably feel that every opportunity to get together is precious, because who knows when it might be the last time!
Several of Hesheli's close friends from her youth had already passed away, and she had become accustomed to this kind of thing. Even those who were still alive might have health problems or be unable to meet in private.
So this kind of banquet is a good opportunity for them to get together, so Hesheli thought that as long as she didn't really want to go, she should go and take a look!
When Jingrou went to the estate, Hesheli didn't think anything of it.
“You can go, but you definitely need to bring a lot of people with you… You’re usually so reckless, and your grandmother is really worried about you.” Jingrou nodded obediently; as long as she could go, she was willing to agree to anything.
For Jingrou, the manor was a novel experience, as she had never been there before.
Furthermore, they are all relatively more familiar with each other, so going there would definitely be more comfortable than going to the palace.
And just like that, Jingrou had happily decided to go to the estate over there. Not only that, Hesheli was also preparing for her, wondering if she should bring some flower tea or something else, just like a child going on a picnic.
Wen Ying was easygoing; she preferred to follow Jing Rou, and basically wherever Jing Rou went, Wen Ying would go too.
It's mainly because I feel more comfortable being with people I'm more familiar with.
However, when she met Yinreng that day, she hadn't had a proper chat with him yet. The invitation was extended by Yinreng, so Jingrou still had to go and find him first...
I need to tell him that I'm going to attend that banquet, and find out exactly when it is.
At the same time, Yinreng also needed to find Jingrou.
He thought about it all night and decided to tell her about it.
Moreover, the sooner the better. The sooner he tells her, the less likely Jingrou will be angry with him. If he drags it out, wouldn't he become his brother's accomplice?
Today, Jingrou wore a light red narrow-sleeved cardigan with a blue-green twelve-panel cheongsam.
If a young woman is in her prime, wearing clothes of this color will make her look beautiful and charming.
But Jingrou was still young, and her hair was styled in an adorable bun, making her look like a little lucky doll to others. The clothes she wore made her skin appear even whiter.
He didn't have many jewels or jade ornaments on his head, but his maternal grandmother had adorned him with several flowers. Because he was still young, he didn't need to dress too formally or luxuriously. Those flowers were much lighter than jade or anything like that.
She looks refreshing and simple, yet lively and adorable.
Seeing Jingrou walking over from afar, Yinreng's heart was always filled with joy whenever he saw her before.
He was probably thinking about what to say when he saw her, or what interesting topic he could come up with to chat with her for a while. Yinreng didn't have anyone he could talk to very well, so when the two of them got together, they always had so much to say.
His attendants were respectful but not close enough. As they spent more time with him and did things for him, they gradually became more experienced. When they got together, they mostly talked about serious matters and didn't chat idly.
But when he saw her now, he actually blushed.
He wasn't some clueless, reckless young man.
At that moment, the image of his older brother talking about his "good little sister" popped into his head again...
His mother is gone, so no one else can interfere with him.
Since the beginning of this year, Khan Ama has been testing his attitude.
When Emperor Kangxi was young, due to the special circumstances at the time, the palace urgently needed to have a crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the situation and reassure the ministers. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi married early and had women by his side at a very young age. However, this was later proven to be unfeasible.
There are still many drawbacks to getting married at a young age.
Because most of his early princes died young, only Yinzhi and Yinreng survived. The rest mostly did not live past the age of three.
The third child is a little younger than them.
However, Yinreng was already twelve years old, which was neither too early nor too late. Emperor Kangxi's attitude was also very lenient. Although it was not yet time for them to marry a primary wife, it was still acceptable to arrange for a woman to be married at this time. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi summoned him early on and told him about this matter.
Yinreng's face immediately turned red, and he delayed refusing his father, the Khan. He had a good relationship with the Kangxi Emperor. Although they couldn't be said to be completely open with each other over the years, there was no need to be too discreet. He simply told his father that he didn't want it!
It's all my brother's fault!
How could he view his relationship with Jingrou in that way?
When he went to Weihaiwei before, he was accompanied by many soldiers and guards, many of whom came from the military camp.
The rough men who came from the military camps were generally not careful with their words, probably because they thought the princes wouldn't understand them at that time, so they weren't too careful with their language sometimes.
Yinreng also heard some unbearable things from them.
Yinreng didn't take it to heart. As long as those people didn't actually provoke him, and only talked about it, he wouldn't think much of it.
Serving in the army is truly tough. You might not see anyone for a year or two, so sometimes you really need some relaxation. Of course, this is how Yinreng understood the situation.
Therefore, he felt that the title "good sister" was not dignified at all, and that it would desecrate the pure friendship between him and Jingrou!
Has my elder brother gone astray? How could he say such things? Yinreng wondered if he should think of a way to cause his elder brother a little trouble.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing there blankly?" Jingrou saw Yinreng and saw him walking towards her, so she sat down. She also had something to ask him, but then she saw Yinreng standing there blankly.
The people behind him were even more confused as to why the Crown Prince had suddenly stopped, but they followed behind without daring to speak.
Jingrou looked down at herself, feeling very pleased with herself. This was a new dress she had just finished making. Jingrou liked it very much and wore it out. Her aunt also praised her for the dress.
Could it be that he's bewitched by himself?
Jingrou was beaming with pride.
She's a young girl too, of course she wants to see herself wearing a pretty dress!
