At the hour of You, Yinreng sent his younger brothers out the door with a smile on his face.
Then he returned to the bedroom and asked the kitchen to prepare him a bowl of noodles.
He is in the growth stage, and he won't grow tall if he doesn't get enough nutrition.
The news that several young princes went to Yuqing Palace to visit the prince and stayed there for an hour was also successfully heard by Kangxi.
When Kangxi heard that the prince's attitude towards his younger brothers had become gentler and closer, he was also very surprised.
In the past, Yinreng treated his other brothers from a distance, with a sense of scrutiny, and was not very close to them.
Kangxi thought it was normal. The prince was the monarch and was fundamentally different from the eldest brother and the others. It was enough for the prince to be close to him, the emperor. Now the prince's attitude had changed drastically. Could it be that something special happened in his previous life?
Or will the Eighth Brother be the prince's supporter?
What about the boss?
Kangxi was completely confused.
Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the eldest brother and the adoptive mother of the eighth brother. These two should belong to the same camp. Could it be that something will happen in the future that will cause the eldest brother and the eighth brother to break up?
Or...Yinreng's action was simply to disgust the eldest brother and his mother?
Kangxi frowned. If Yinreng really thought so, then such a method would be too unacceptable.
Kangxi was confused and couldn't sleep all night.
On the other hand, Concubine Hui also thought the same thing as Kangxi and Yinzhi. She thought that Yinreng was close to Yinsi in order to make trouble for her and Yinzhi, so she didn't take the matter to heart.
The next day, just as the hour of Mao arrived, Yinreng woke up on time and sighed as he looked at the dim environment in the room.
Since he traveled to this shitty dynasty, except for some special circumstances, he has never slept in. No wonder later generations praised Kangxi for raising a son. Even if he was in such a mess, he could still be helped to climb the wall.
Now that he was awake, Yinreng had no choice but to sit up from the bed.
It was simply the wrong season. If it were deep winter now, even if he couldn't sleep, he would have to stay in bed for a while.
It was still He Zhuer who helped her get up today, but Ye Hele and Park were also there to help her wash her face, rinse her mouth and have breakfast.
In fact, the oldest of these two maids is only in her early forties, but she can already be a grandmother in this era.
The one who helped him go to bed yesterday was his wet nurse Yehele, and the one who was in charge of the internal affairs of Yuqing Palace was Park, who was originally the head maid beside the Queen.
Although these two people had their own little thoughts, they had not yet come to his attention, so Yinreng decided to ignore them for the time being.
After breakfast, Yinreng went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to Empress Xiaozhuang as usual.
In fact, according to the rules, he had to get up at 3:00 am to read in the morning, have breakfast after reading, and then have morning lessons. Only after the morning lessons were over could he go to the Cining Palace to pay his respects.
But it was his fault that he was sick. Kangxi even approved his leave. If he didn't enjoy this rare vacation, he would be a fool.
When they arrived at the Cining Palace, the masters from various palaces who had come to pay their respects had already gone back. Their morning meeting time was half an hour ago, which would be around six o'clock in later times.
Sometimes, before Empress Xiaozhuang got up, the concubines could only sit in the side hall of the Cining Palace, and some of those with lower ranks could only stand.
When Empress Xiaozhuang was in a good mood, she would send someone to tell them to go back. When she was in a bad mood, she would ignore them even if they sat for a whole hour.
Therefore, no matter who lives in this era, unless they become the Empress Dowager, they must follow the rules.
The time for the princes and princesses to pay their respects was after morning service, which was around nine o'clock. Even babies who were still breastfeeding were not exempted unless they were sick.
But that had nothing to do with him. He came to pay his respects to Empress Xiaozhuang out of his heartfelt willingness.
When the old lady died in her previous life, she called both Kangxi and him to her side, and all her words were about his future arrangements. She even gave him most of her private treasury.
Xiaozhuang may not be a good person, but she gave all her favor to Kangxi and Yinreng, and Yinreng had to accept it.
When Yinreng walked into the Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang had just finished drinking her medicine. When she heard that Yinreng was coming, her face, which had been wrinkled from drinking the bitter medicine, looked much better.
"The prince and his great-aunt have a very close relationship."
After paying her respects today, the Empress Dowager did not return to Ningshou Palace, but stayed to talk with Empress Xiaozhuang. Seeing that Empress Xiaozhuang was so happy about the Prince's arrival, the Empress Dowager praised her.
In the twenty years since she entered the palace, she never followed Emperor Shunzhi in calling her "mother".
Xiaozhuang's cloudy eyes were filled with smiles.
"Baocheng has been a filial son since childhood. When he came here yesterday, I told him to stay in Yuqing Palace to recuperate. But he still came here so early today, which shows that he is sincere."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"Baocheng is a good one."
As soon as Yinreng stepped into the warm room, he saw Xiaozhuang and the Queen Mother sitting at the top. He was slightly startled, but soon put on a smile and walked quickly to the two of them.
"Baocheng pays his respects to Ukuma Mama and Huangma Mama."
It’s a good thing that the Empress Dowager is also here, otherwise he would have to go to Ningshou Palace alone later.
"Hurry up and get up! Didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself and not come here?"
Xiaozhuang was obviously in better spirits today than yesterday. She called Yinreng over and looked at him carefully.
"Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mama Wukuma. Thanks to you two Mamas, my grandson is much better now. Doctor Zhao checked my pulse last night and said I can stop taking the medicine after taking one more dose of herbal decoction today."
"That's good, that's good."
Yinreng answered Xiaozhuang's question and turned his attention to the Queen Mother.
"How is the Royal Madam these days? I wanted to visit you at the Ningshou Palace yesterday, but something happened to the Royal Father and delayed me. I am unfilial and forgot to pass on a message to you."
He spoke Mongolian very fluently, also to take care of the empress dowager.
Empress Dowager Borjigit Altan Qiqige was only in her thirties this year. In terms of seniority, she was actually of the same generation as Kangxi, but she became a victim in the political game and married her cousin, Emperor Shunzhi, who was Kangxi's father and Yinreng's grandfather.
However, one of the reasons is that the old Manchu and Mongolian customs do not care about seniority in marriage.
Seeing Yinreng asking about her situation, the Queen Mother was a little stunned. Although Kangxi and Yinreng, the father and son, were usually respectful to her, they were not very close to her.
The Queen Mother has lived in this palace for twenty years. She used to feel that her situation was unfair, but now she is left with only helplessness and clarity.
People have to live, don't they?
"I am in good health."
The Queen Mother also gave Yinreng a sincere smile.
Yinreng sat on a low stool nearby, very close to the two elders. He raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother.
"My fifth brother went to Yuqing Palace to see my grandson yesterday. He seems to have gained some weight recently."
"Yeah?"
When mentioning Yinqi, the Queen Mother's smile became more genuine.
"I saw him yesterday, and he said he had lost a lot of weight."
"You're just too concerned..."
