At the end of June, Kangxi suddenly fell ill.
After a day of treatment, the imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau said they were helpless.
Kangxi called Yinreng and a group of princes to go to the Qianqing Palace to attend to his illness.
Looking at Kangxi lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, all the princes except Yinreng looked anxious and extremely worried.
"A dose of quinine cream worked wonders. Missionary Hong Ruohan has it. The old man should know about this. Could it be that he's trying to test the brothers' filial piety?"
Yinreng muttered to himself, and his expression soon became sad and worried.
Kangxi was trembling all over. After listening to Yinreng's inner thoughts, he had an idea in his mind.
After all, he knew that he still had decades to live, so he wasn't particularly worried about his illness. However, when the disease flared up, it really made him uncomfortable.
He couldn't wait any longer and immediately sent away all the princes, including Yinreng.
Then he instructed Liang Jiugong to immediately find a missionary named Hong Ruohan.
Since it was Kangxi's order, no one dared to neglect it, so within a few hours, Hong Ruohan was brought to Kangxi's bedside.
Hong Ruohan thought he had committed a crime and was treated so rudely by the Qing officials and soldiers.
Unexpectedly, he was brought to see Kangxi.
Kangxi had been feeling uncomfortable all day and didn't have time to talk to him, so he asked him directly if he had quinine.
Hong Ruohan was stunned for a moment, then replied honestly,
"have."
Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief and sent someone to follow Hong Ruohan to get the medicine.
The medicine worked quickly.
Kangxi only felt uncomfortable for two days before his symptoms completely disappeared.
For this reason, Kangxi specially rewarded Hong Ruohan with a lot of gold, silver and treasures, and also sent a group of imperial doctors to learn from him how to make quinine.
After Yinreng learned about this, he severely denounced Kangxi.
When rewarding others, he would give real gold and silver, but when rewarding his own son, he would give some rubbish that was only good to look at but not to eat.
I am speechless.
At the end of August, Kangxi decided to go on the Mulan Autumn Hunt.
The accompanying list was announced, and only Concubine De and Concubine Yi were brought from the harem.
The prince brought seven older ones, including Yinsi.
Yinzhen was unhappy and went to beg Kangxi for a long time, and finally succeeded in getting two places.
Kangxi also brought the ninth and tenth sons with him.
Even though Concubine Yi had a good temper, she scolded Yinzhen severely after learning about this.
Because when Yinzhen pleaded for mercy, he completely left his younger brother aside. Among the three brothers from the same mother, only Yinzhen was left behind. It would be strange if he was happy.
But the matter was already settled, and Concubine Yi was afraid that asking Kangxi for help again would make him unhappy, so she gritted her teeth and went directly to Kangxi to plead, giving the opportunity to accompany him this time to Concubine Niohuru.
When they reached their age in the harem, their social interactions were mostly centered around the relationships with the princes and princesses. Yinzhen and Yin? were so close that they could even wear the same pants, which led to more frequent contacts between Concubine Yi and Concubine Niohuru.
That's why this time Concubine Yi was willing to give the opportunity to Concubine Niohuru.
Kangxi also agreed directly.
For him, it doesn't matter which one he takes.
He only needed two concubines of higher status to help him suppress those younger concubines.
During this hunting trip, Kangxi mainly wanted to bring the sons of nobles in the capital to see their level so that he could select some talents to expand the firearms camp.
Seeing that Dai Zi's place is gradually getting on the right track, it's time to start preparing for the Firearms Battalion.
He had already decided who would be in charge, and he asked Yinzhi to take over.
On the day of departure, it was sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon, the sky became dark and it looked like it was going to rain.
Kangxi ordered to find a place near a water source to set up camp.
Before the camp was set up, the rain began to fall.
The masters were all hiding from the rain in the carriages, and only the guards and the soldiers in the camp were soaked through.
When Yinreng was about to fall asleep, the guards outside reported,
"My Lord, the tent is ready."
Yinreng stretched, stood up and got off the carriage.
The rain was still falling, not too heavy, but foggy. The sky was shrouded in fog over the mountain tops, which looked quite different.
“Second brother!”
A reckless little guy bumped into him from behind, but fortunately the force was not strong enough and Yinreng easily stood up.
Yinreng lowered his head and looked at the little face emerging from under his armpit, feeling somewhat helpless.
"You, when will you be able to be more steady?"
"Aren't adults the only ones who need to act cautiously? I'm still young, there's no need for me to be cautious!"
Yinzhen was justified.
Yinreng almost wanted to hold his forehead and sigh.
This guy is already nine years old, and his height is almost as high as his chest. Princes are generally precocious, and Concubine Yi must have taught him everything he should know long ago.
He is so reckless now, probably because he knows for sure that he will not get angry with him.
If it was Kangxi standing here at this moment, he would definitely not do this.
Not long after, a silly voice sounded behind him.
"Second brother."
Yinreng turned around and saw the chubby Yinzhen and asked him,
"Xiao Shi, why aren't you with the Imperial Concubine?"
Yin scratched his head and blurted out,
"Mother is boring, she disciplines me every day. It's more relaxing to be with Brother Nine."
Yinreng: “…”
Concubine Nianhulu would not be very happy to hear this.
"Let's go check out the tent."
"good!"
When this was mentioned, the two little ones instantly became excited. In their limited memories, this was the first time they had lived in a tent.
At night, Yinreng climbed onto the bed and wanted to go to sleep directly, but as soon as he lay down, a soft body wrapped around him.
Yinreng was so frightened that he took off immediately.
"who!"
The person on the bed immediately sat up and said in a gentle voice,
"Master, it's the servant."
Yinreng didn't hear her voice clearly, but the appearance of a woman on his bed was enough to make him furious. He shouted,
"How did you get in?!"
He Zhuer and others heard the noise and quickly filed in.
When the lights in the tent were on, Yinreng could see the woman holding the quilt on the bed.
She was one of the palace maids who came with her, her name was Yuan'er.
Yinreng's face was gloomy. He glanced at Yuan'er's naked back, turned around and sat on the chair, and asked in a cold voice,
"Who inspected the tents today?!"
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not answer.
"presumptuous!"
Yinreng was furious.
"Today this woman can appear quietly in my bed, can she be replaced by an assassin tomorrow?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned pale with fear and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Tell me, who let her in?"
Yinreng questioned again.
But it was still silent.
Yinreng was so angry that he laughed.
"Okay, okay, you won't say anything, right? I hope you can be so stubborn even when you get to the Ministry of Punishment."
