When Yinreng returned to Yuqing Palace, his little face was still stern. Even though he was still young, he was not to be underestimated, and the palace maids all held their breath.
He Ying hurriedly summoned someone to change Yinreng's clothes, and then gave him a thorough wash, finally managing to evaporate all the moisture from his body, before she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Throughout this process, Yinreng maintained a cold expression, and despite still looking like a little dumpling, he exuded a powerful aura.
At this point, only He Ying, who had grown up by his side since childhood, could say a few words.
He Ying had served in the Qianqing Palace for two years, and she performed quite well during those two years, which made Emperor Kangxi remember her.
However, with Liang Jiugong stationed in the Qianqing Palace, even if he possessed a thousand abilities, he couldn't use them. It wasn't until he was transferred to the Crown Prince's side that he was able to regroup and make a name for himself by the Crown Prince's side.
He stayed by the Crown Prince's side for more than four years, and it can be said that he watched the Crown Prince grow up.
“His Majesty is still thinking of you. The banquet is not over yet, but His Majesty has already lost his appetite… He was too busy earlier today, and as soon as he heard about this, His Majesty sent someone to find you…” He Ying observed Yinreng’s expression.
When the two masters quarrel, the servants are bound to suffer. The Emperor is reluctant to vent his anger on the Crown Prince, but he shows no mercy to these lowly eunuchs.
Yinreng was slightly taken aback; after all, he was only seven years old. Even if there had been some initial misunderstanding or displeasure, his deep affection for his father, the Khan, had certainly not diminished…
Hearing that he couldn't eat made me feel a little heartbroken.
When Khan is busy with official duties, he often doesn't have time to eat, so I have the responsibility to remind him to eat. Now that I've heard about this, I'm extremely concerned.
He bit his lip. "Accompany me..."
He Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, the father and son didn't have a serious falling out; they were just a bit sullen. In the end, it was still related to the Hesheli family and the eldest prince.
It's really inappropriate for him to be absent from the banquet. I'm sure many people have noticed that the Crown Prince isn't here by now.
The emperor was probably angry and spoke without thinking, saying something like, "Make him go out and kneel down."
According to He Ying's sources, after they left, the Emperor stood there silently for a quarter of an hour, clearly regretting his actions...
But both father and son have stubborn tempers!
Without saying a word, the Crown Prince actually knelt in the Imperial Garden at this critical juncture.
The Emperor was just saying that in anger; how could he bear to actually make him kneel?
He silently knelt in the Imperial Garden, which greatly worried He Ying.
The crown prince still valued his reputation highly, so he wore the clothes of one of his personal eunuchs to avoid being seen by outsiders...
At least he managed to persuade her to go back.
He Ying looked up at the drizzling rain outside. The rain wasn't heavy today, but if you didn't wipe yourself off in time, it would feel bone-chillingly cold.
Then, He Ying remembered the little girl from earlier. She was plump and radiant (Jing Rou: ?), and dressed in luxurious clothes. She must have come to attend the banquet today. She wondered which family's little princess she was.
Did they really think his master was a little eunuch? He Ying shook his head helplessly.
Luckily, I didn't recognize my master, otherwise, given his proud and arrogant personality, I don't know how embarrassed he would have been!
He Ying wasn't worried. Although everyone attending the banquet today was a member of the royal family, there were many royals, but only a handful were qualified to appear before Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince. He didn't think that the little girl had such a powerful background.
Moreover, if he were truly of extraordinary birth, wouldn't he have already met his master? How could he have mistaken him for someone else?

Jingrou didn't stay outside for too long.
It was drizzling outside, and her grandmother wouldn't feel at ease leaving her outside, so she sensibly went back inside with her nanny.
The banquet ended early, supposedly because the Emperor was considerate of everyone, as there was a long journey outside the palace, and this saved everyone from a long and tiring trip. It was also a gesture of care for the children who attended the banquet.
However, this trip to the palace was not entirely fruitless; at least he met the famous Empress Dowager, a legendary woman in history.
By the time Jingrou returned to the banquet, it was nearing its end. The music was very soothing, and dancers performed graceful movements. The atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable, and Emperor Kangxi was also talking with those around him.
Although Hesheli was talking to the person next to her, her brows were slightly furrowed until she saw Jingrou. "My dear, did you get caught in the rain?"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the old woman behind her.
The old woman, naturally considerate, took over the conversation.
The atmosphere was so comfortable.
Jingrou sat next to her grandmother and watched the song and dance for a while, but her eyelids could no longer stay open.
She then lost consciousness and slumped in her grandmother's arms. However, she was so young, and no one else was paying attention to her, so it wasn't considered impolite.
It was at this moment that Yinreng returned. His seat was near the front, and he took his seat quietly. The people who attended the banquet were all intelligent, so it was impossible for them not to notice that the Crown Prince had been absent for most of the banquet. However, no one brought up the topic, and no one asked him about it.
When he went in, Yinreng was trying to appear calm. After all, he was still a child. This time, he had defied his father and left, which was not very honorable. Now that he had returned, it seemed like he was deliberately admitting defeat…
Yinreng entered through a side door, which was closer to the center of the banquet hall, towards the front.
That spot happened to be where Jingrou was, but he was already fast asleep.
If he had sat down, he might not have been able to see Jingrou's appearance clearly, but he happened to come in from there, and it just so happened that Jingrou was there.
Yinreng couldn't help but be stunned.
The person who looked like a fairy just now has now appeared in front of me again.
The fairy now looked as if she were asleep, her eyes closed, her thick eyelashes casting heavy shadows beneath them, and her mouth slightly open, making her look adorable.
