Especially when several pairs of curious and surprised eyes were staring at him, Yinzhen glared at Yinqi with some annoyance. He had just been a little nicer to him, but he had already revealed his true colors. How come he couldn't keep any secrets?
Yinqi shrank back under his gaze. What was wrong with the fourth prince? His eyes were so sharp. Actually, Yinqi had no bad intentions; he was just a little quick-tongued…
Jingrou suddenly remembered that the thing her cousin had been talking about every day recently was the sudden discovery that the pampered girl in their hometown was not their biological child, and that the biological child was a boy who had been sent away from the family.
When she first heard this gossip, and combined it with what happened on Yinzhen's side, she felt that the two sides were somewhat similar, and she thought it was quite a coincidence!
Seeing Yinzhen's expression now, he suddenly realized something. Perhaps it wasn't just that he was somewhat familiar with this story?
“Cousin, it’s true that the bond of watching someone grow up and raising them is sometimes even greater than the bond of giving birth. Otherwise, that lady wouldn’t have been so reluctant to send her daughter away! After all, it’s like everyone is returning to their rightful place!” Jingrou said with an air of seriousness. She was young, but when she talked about this, she seemed to have an air of maturity that was simply hilarious.
Especially Yinreng, who was completely confused at first—he had never heard of this gossip, and Yinqi didn't dare to bring it up in front of him.
Because he knew nothing about this kind of gossip, and he had never been interested in the gossip that Lao Wu talked about, he suddenly wanted to learn about it.
Even if he just wanted to have more in common with the young girl, Yinreng also wanted to learn more about her.
If Yinqi were to hear his double standards, he would surely complain about it again!
What's going on? Why is the Crown Prince showing favoritism? The little girl's words are different from his! Is he even a real brother anymore?
The idea that "the kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth..." immediately stunned Yinzhen, who seemed to be deep in thought.
He lowered his head slightly, no longer caring about the incident where several people had exposed his shortcomings in front of him.
Mother spent a lot of energy on him, no less than the hardships De Gui endured when she gave birth to him.
Although many nannies and palace maids surrounded her when disciplining the children, Mother had to do many things herself, including many of the small handkerchiefs that I still use today, many of which were sewn by Mother.
The tender scenes from the past resurfaced in his mind, softening Yinzhen's expression and relaxing his previously furrowed brows.
If this still doesn't work to develop feelings, then what should we do?
I am now five years old...
His mother has been with him for five years. Can this time not outweigh the weight of the debt of gratitude for giving birth to him?
******
After talking for a while, Jingrou went back to her study.
She didn't realize that what she had said in that short time was truly useless. But Yinreng had already glanced at her several times, as if he found her words somewhat abrupt.
If we continue talking, everyone in the palace is shrewd and intelligent; who knows if someone might start to speculate?
But she hoped that all the princes would be well, even though there might be a power struggle among them in the future, with all sorts of intrigue and backstabbing.
But to be honest, Jingrou felt sorry for them. They fought for so long, and in the end, countless people died or were injured...
And very few of them end up with a good ending.
But they're still just kids, the kind who are only a few years old and are deeply troubled by whether their mothers like them or not, or by their birth...
Children like this should be at the age when they are most innocent and carefree.
Children at this age should be at their most innocent and carefree.
If you don't take this time to relax, then your life will be too bitter, filled with scheming and intrigue!
Although there are still two months until the Mulan Autumn Hunt, the selection of participants has already begun in a flurry of activity.
Since it was the emperor's trip, the entire process, from preparations to selecting people and actually making arrangements, would take a very long time!
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager will not be able to attend the Mulan Autumn Hunt this time. Emperor Kangxi had originally planned to cancel the hunt because the Empress Dowager had been unwell recently. After all, the Mulan Autumn Hunt could be held next year, but the health of the Empress Dowager was the most important thing.
However, the large-scale investigation into the affairs of the Mongolian princesses had already alarmed many Mongolian nobles.
If Emperor Kangxi doesn't step in this time to ease their sorrow, who knows what trouble might arise?
So we still have to do it this time!
In the past, it might not have had much connection with the princesses' studies.
After all, unless the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage or intended to establish a peace treaty with the Mongols, princesses were generally not allowed to participate in the Mulan Autumn Hunt.
But this time, it was the Empress Dowager who spoke!
I don't know if it's because of what happened at the Imperial Household Department today that made the Empress Dowager and the Emperor feel guilty and want to make amends to them, or what.
In any case, all the princesses were on the list for this Mulan Autumn Hunt! And they were personally instructed to make sure that the princesses went!
This is a rare opportunity for these little girls to go out!
Of course they have to make the most of it!
Moreover, ever since the incident involving the Imperial Household Department's nanny, Emperor Kangxi has been reflecting on how to discipline his group of princesses.
The daughters of the Qing imperial family have always been capable and outstanding. Emperor Kangxi always felt that several of his sisters were doing very well in Mongolia and had now seized power, firmly holding their positions.
They had governesses around them, but they were never manipulated. The governesses always played the role of servants.
Why did the Qing Dynasty choose to marry into the Mongol tribes? Was it really a sign of weakness on the part of the Qing Dynasty?
No.
If it was true that when the Qing Dynasty was first established, it needed to rely on the power of the Mongols to secure its position, the situation changed drastically after several generations of development and several periods of diligent governance by the Qing army.
Firstly, it was to strengthen ties between Daqing and Mongolia, maintaining the friendly relations of so many years; secondly, it was also to allow the descendants of Daqing to gradually influence Mongolia…
As long as the blood of the Aisin Gioro family is gradually mixed into the Mongolian royal family, then the two sides will become one family. Under the gradual assimilation, Mongolia will definitely become dependent on the Qing Dynasty!
