"Can I really win her over?" Yin Zhi murmured.
He really lacked confidence. This incident had really hit him hard. He had never thought he was so bad that even if he wasn't particularly liked by others, he shouldn't be so bad that girls would avoid him.
Yinreng had a headache. He had never experienced anything like this before. When did he become an emotional mentor?
And he really has absolutely no experience. Brother, please don't come looking for him. Is he asking for my opinion now?
The word "mentor" sounded strange. He had heard Jingrou mention it before, and it seemed to mean a tutor or instructor.
Fortunately, Yinzhi was still an optimistic person, and his eyes lit up again. He seemed to have found a goal to strive for. He dusted himself off and stood up. "Second brother... you really have to help me... Look, it was because of what you did before that I ended up like this. Shouldn't you also take some responsibility? I don't need anything else from you, you just have to give me some advice..."
His eyes sparkled as he looked at Yinreng with a hint of eagerness.
He could let bygones be bygones, but the Crown Prince needed to lend him a hand.
Under such intense gaze, Yinreng could only nod.
What can we do?
He knew he was in the wrong. He was a little guilty when he first told Jingrou, worried that his older brother would beat him up. But his older brother was probably too busy grieving to care about him.
At this moment, Yinreng truly believed that his feelings for Wenying were real, at least for now. If this had happened normally, someone as calculating as his elder brother would have definitely grabbed him and given him a good talking-to.
I might even go up and complain, but I really don't have the mood to deal with this right now.
That afternoon, Jingrou finally got to eat the hot, roasted lamb leg she had been craving.
Not only do they have lamb legs, but also lamb chops. The lamb is very fresh. After being grilled over charcoal, it doesn't need much seasoning. Just a thin layer of salt is enough to make it delicious. It's all about enjoying the original flavor.
If you want to be a little more particular, you can pick a kind of grass from the grassland. This grass has a special effect of removing fishy smells. This is an experience summarized by people who often stayed on the grassland. Squeeze the juice on it or marinate it a little, and it will be a delicacy. You must eat it while it's hot!
After Minghui and the others returned, the group of people ate together around the campfire in the courtyard.
They didn't go inside, but instead used the fire from the barbecue to sit around on soft cushions. In the middle was the fragrant food and the wine they had prepared in advance. Jingrou also drank a little bit of wine.
The weather was slightly chilly, but they had been active all afternoon and had gotten plenty of exercise. Plus, they were warming up around the campfire. Sitting outside in this kind of weather was the most comfortable thing to do, and it would be perfect if there was a gentle breeze.
The liquor isn't high in alcohol; it's made from fruit and has a very low alcohol content.
The liquid is clear and sparkling when poured into a cup, and it looks incredibly appetizing.
However, most of the girls in this group were drinking for the first time, so they were very happy and sipped the little bit of alcohol very slowly.
Yinzhi drank the most. No one else knew about his relationship with Wenying. This matter was kept secret until the very end, and only the three people present knew about it.
However, he seemed to be trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol, drinking quickly and heavily, which Yinreng couldn't stop him from doing...
Later, they simply stopped stopping them. After all, the alcohol content of the wine was low, and they were currently on the estate with guards protecting them, so there was no need to rush back that night…
Of course, it wasn't just about eating; they also spent a lot of time chatting... After the day, the princesses relaxed a bit and started talking to the people around them.
Yinqi brought up the recent gossip... yes, it has almost become a staple of his repertoire.
Anyway, Jingrou had often listened to him before, and Yinreng was no exception to his influence.
However, some things were indeed very new to the princesses. They stared wide-eyed and even held their breath, perhaps forgetting what they were eating, as they listened intently and began to ask questions...
“This man is a terrible person. Why doesn’t that woman divorce him?” Mingxuan frowned.
Minghui glared at Mingxuan, but her anger wasn't directed at her; it stemmed from the story. "Didn't you just hear Fifth Prince say that even your own brother is siding with that man? Without the support of her family, how can a woman possibly get a divorce? Sure enough, men understand men best; they're all birds of a feather!"
Yinreng and Yinzhi exchanged a glance, and indeed dared not say anything more; they would not be the kind of people who would do that.
Moreover... although they have not yet married a primary wife, nor do they have any intention of getting married, they would never do the thing of favoring their wife over their concubines.
Even with all the education they've received from their father over the years, they would never do something so absurd!
Anyone who plans to favor their wife over their concubines will likely face dire consequences if the Khan finds out!
Even if the person's official position is low, it's not a good thing for their superior to find out, as it will affect their career.
A harmonious family relationship and peaceful relations between wives and concubines are also important criteria for a superior to evaluate a person, since no one likes a subordinate whose harem is in chaos.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of etiquette and morality or for one's own development, such a scandal is impossible!
Yinzhi and Yinreng shook their heads... Actually, they had entered officialdom a little earlier, and had encountered both overt and covert temptations when they went out. Of course, that included the sexual aspect—although they were young, some officials had already set their sights on them. If the women they sent could gain a foothold in the prince's harem, wouldn't the prince often think of them in the future?
Therefore, there are quite a few people who hold this view.
But such things are not suitable to be discussed here.
Whether what Yinqi said was true or false is still in doubt!
Even if it's true, this person must be brainless and only cares about momentary pleasure!
The princesses were all quite empathetic, and after hearing about this, they all started asking Yinqi about the follow-up. However, Yinqi had only just heard about it and was unaware of the subsequent events.
Just now, these people weren't very close, but a single piece of gossip was enough to draw all the princesses' attention to the fifth prince.
Unable to get any answers from him and with nowhere to vent their frustrations, the princesses could only begin to bitterly complain about the man!
