After the envoys from various countries finished their congratulations, it was time for the princes to show off.
Yinzhi presented a jade statue of Maitreya Buddha.
Yinzhi presented a copy of Huang Lao's calligraphy.
His original intention was to find Dong Qichang's manuscripts, but he searched for a long time and couldn't find any, so he had to use the ones sent by his future father-in-law's family to make up for the loss.
Throughout the court, who didn’t know that Kangxi admired Dong Qichang the most?
All the princes were influenced by him and most of them practiced Dong style.
However, Yinzhen had his own ideas and would also look for calligraphy works by other calligraphy masters to learn from.
Yinzhen presented a handwritten picture of a hundred years of longevity.
Most of the remaining princes who did not attend the court presented their own handicrafts or handwritten copies of the Book of Filial Piety.
What Yinreng presented was a golden nanmu screen with pine and crane patterns on it.
It was Soetu who prepared it, he was offering flowers to Buddha.
The wood of Phoebe nanmu can only be used in the palace. Anyone who uses it anywhere else will be beheaded.
Even if it is used by a prince, it would be beyond the rules.
Although Yinreng felt it was a pity, there was nothing he could do as he didn't have any golden fingers like space.
The sieve-like place of Yuqing Palace cannot hide anything.
After the princes presented their gifts, Kangxi praised them a few words and asked the court officials to arrange a banquet.
Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't disband the group, he would probably die of thirst.
This fucking ceremony was held in the scorching sun, and we couldn't even go to the bathroom during it.
Before leaving, Kangxi went to Yinzhen and others to praise them and take a look at what was on the ground.
As a result, he really saw a golden object in the crack of a brick.
It should be a small piece of golden bean.
Well, there really is gold, silver, and jewelry on the ground.
Kangxi glared at Yinzhen unhappily, then turned and left.
He thought this kid had changed, but he didn't expect him to still be as troublesome as before.
A prince stares at those mundane things all day long. Is he short of food or clothes?
Forehead……
Why does this sound so familiar?
Yinreng went to the back hall to use the toilet comfortably, then ran to the room where his brothers were resting and had some snacks.
He has his own room to rest, but it's so boring to stay alone.
It’s more lively when there are more people.
It would be better if I had a set of mahjong at this moment.
"Those vassal states are more stingy than each other. I really don't care about the tributes they offer..."
Yinreng complained bitterly to his brothers, and then secretly pointed fingers at Yinzhi and Yinlu.
"They say gold and silver mines are often found in mountainous areas. Isn't this island nation covered in mountains? And they're on the ocean! What's abundant in the ocean? Lots of seafood!"
"Although seafood can't be delivered in this weather, pearls and corals should be available, right? Why didn't they offer anything valuable? They only sent junk..."
"As for the Mongolians in the northern desert, I don't mind them sending me leather, cattle, horses, and sheep, but the quantity should be increased. They're only sending a small amount, like sending beggars away!"
"With such a small gift, you still want to squeeze out a reward when you leave. You're really calculating!"
In fact, except for Yinreng himself, the other princes had no idea about the gifts sent by vassal states. Even if there were some rare items among them, they were all collected in Kangxi's private treasury.
Only occasionally would I give them some rewards.
Now, after hearing Yinreng's complaints, the princes finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
The older ones were lost in thought.
Younger people pay more attention to the words "the family suffers a loss".
Anyway, everyone was dissatisfied with the vassal state.
What Yinreng wanted was their dissatisfaction.
There is a longevity festival every year, and they participate every year.
The more you see it, the more your dissatisfaction will accumulate.
Suddenly, there were some noises outside, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Yinreng stood up first and wanted to go out to see who was so blind as to make trouble on the Emperor's birthday.
The others couldn't hold back their curiosity and followed suit.
After passing through a not very long corridor, Yinreng saw the culprit.
It turned out to be Baotai.
He was pressing down on someone and hitting him hard.
They had no idea of the seriousness of the problem.
The man he was holding down looked familiar. Yinreng looked closely and found that it was Marhun's son, Huaqi.
Malhun was the fifteenth son of Prince An Yuele.
My mother is Yue Le’s second wife.
Speaking of which, he is related to Soetu. His maternal grandfather is Soni, which means that Soetu is Marhun's uncle.
Hua Qi's mother was the daughter of Tong Guogang.
Therefore, the relationship network in Kyoto is complicated. On the surface, the two are political enemies, but no one knows their private connections. It is possible that because of a small matter, political enemies will become a community of interests.
Baotai is a reckless person, and Huaqi is not someone who is easy to deal with either. How did these two get together?
Yinreng took a look and pretended to be stunned. He let the two of them tangle on the ground for a while longer before speaking in shock and anger.
"stop!"
The two men stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound.
They all looked at Yinreng.
After seeing Yinreng's face clearly, the expressions of both of them became extremely interesting.
There was shock, confusion, and a bit of fear as he realized that he had made a big mistake.
Yinreng picked out a eunuch standing at the front watching the excitement and kicked him.
"What are you all doing here? Allowing two masters to fight here?"
Then, in a moment, a group of people knelt on the ground.
"I acknowledge my guilt!"
Yinreng glared at the two people on the ground with a gloomy face.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you get up? Do you two want to spend the night on the floor?"
Baotai quickly climbed up from Huaqi, secretly kicking him twice in the process.
Yinreng narrowed his eyes.
This kid...
When Hua Qi got up, Yinreng put his hands behind his back and asked,
"Tell me, why did you make such a fuss?"
"Second brother, it's all his fault..."
Baotai opened his mouth and tried to get close to Yinreng, who frowned.
"Don't call me Brother Gu Er!"
Baotai choked and was suddenly at a loss.
Every time he followed his father into the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was always kind to him. Why was he so angry this time?
What Baotai didn't know was that Yinreng was not being nice to him, but was unwilling to pay attention to him.
He doesn't have that template-like smile when he shows it to people he knows.
Yinreng said again,
"Whatever the reason, you two shouldn't be making a scene here! Do you know what day it is today?"
Upon hearing this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Obviously, he also realized what a stupid thing he had done.
