During the family dinner, apart from some necessary procedures, Yinreng did not say a word to Kangxi.
Kangxi's face was visibly gloomy.
After it was over, Kangxi thought that Yinreng should at least submit to him in private.
However, after he pretended to be drunk and left the table, he heard Liang Jiugong say that the prince had returned to Yuqing Palace...
Just...returning to Yuqing Palace? !
Kangxi couldn't believe it.
After coming to his senses, Kangxi still wanted to struggle a little more.
As a result, by the time curfew came, the gates of the harem had already been closed, but Yinreng still did not come to surrender to him.
One can imagine the anger in Kangxi's heart.
The next day, Kangxi went to court with two panda eyes. At first glance, he saw Yinreng, who had an expressionless but energetic face.
Kangxi clenched his fists involuntarily.
This brat!
He was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. But he looked so energetic, how could he be affected?
There was such a big commotion yesterday, he can’t be the only one to suffer.
Kangxi was dissatisfied.
When the Nine Ministers and Six Ministries began to report, that was when Kangxi showed his anger.
From the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to the Doctors of various ministries, if he didn't like anything, he would scold them harshly.
Including but not limited to——
"Does it make you feel awkward to see me with such a sad face? If that's the case, you don't have to come see me again in the future!"
"Why is there still a piece missing from Lord Xu's hat? Will it cost a lot of money to buy another one? Could it be that you think my salary isn't enough?"
"Hey, what's wrong with Prince An Que's legs? He didn't even ask for leave when he was sick. Do you think I'm such a harsh ruler?"
Malhun, who was deliberately limping, trying to deceive Yinreng: "..."
Did the emperor take the wrong medicine today?
Why do you always pick on these trivial things to scold people?
This morning, the ministers were walking on thin ice.
After the court session, Yinreng returned to Yuqing Palace for breakfast. Guessing that Kangxi had almost finished his meal, he went directly to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience with Kangxi.
The purpose is naturally to resign.
It would be better for him to go to Shanxi as soon as possible.
He lives under the old man's nose every day. Who knows when he will go crazy and burn himself?
After hearing his words, Kangxi's face immediately darkened.
"Are you really serious about your mission, or do you just not want to be by my side?"
Yinreng was stunned when he heard this.
Then he sneered in his heart,
'Is that hard to guess?'
"The job at the coal mine was given to me personally by the Emperor, so I naturally want to get it done as quickly as possible."
Yinreng's face was respectful and no emotion could be seen.
Kangxi looked at Yinreng, and the feeling of powerlessness in his heart emerged again.
He didn't know what to do to completely dispel Yinreng's guard.
"In that case...then go ahead."
Yinreng was delighted when he heard this, and his speed of performing the ceremony increased significantly.
"Thank you, Father Emperor. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying this, he turned and left, as if he was afraid that Kangxi would change his mind.
Kangxi looked at Yinreng's departing back and threw a cup hard.
He is a father and an emperor.
Except Yinreng, no one dared to express dissatisfaction with him.
Wasn’t he tolerant enough towards Yinreng?
The more tolerant you are, the more presumptuous he will be!
Kangxi was extremely angry.
He even made up his mind to teach Yinreng a lesson.
Yinreng had just finished packing his luggage when he heard that Kangxi had asked Yinzhi to serve as a secretary in front of the emperor.
Yinreng rolled his eyes and left even faster.
He favored other princes and wanted to make them feel a sense of crisis.
I'm afraid I'm not dreaming.
He even wished that the shackles on his body would be removed.
At the end of June, Yinreng, who had been busy for more than two months, hurried back to the capital.
Over the past two months, the specific conditions of the mineral vein have been explored, and farmers have been recruited to dig some out.
As Yinzhi's wedding date was approaching, he had to put down his work and go back to attend his brother's wedding.
Speaking of which...
Before Yinreng offended Kangxi, the Ministry of Rites had already drafted part of the wedding process.
From the time the marriage was arranged last year until now, the six rituals have only reached the stage of asking for the name.
As for the two steps of accepting the gift and accepting the betrothal gift, everyone in the Ministry of Rites was so angry that they pulled out their hair as to what gifts to send to the Guwalgiya family.
No matter what kind of gift list they drew up, Kangxi felt it was inappropriate.
The prince was not the emperor, so the gifts given to Naji and Nazheng could not exceed those given to Kangxi. However, if they were only slightly higher than the gifts given when Yinzhi married his wife, Kangxi would feel that Yinreng was being wronged.
However, the standards were too high, and the Ministry of Rites did not dare to add any extraneous items, otherwise the word "overstepping the boundaries" would be no joke.
So Kangxi and the Ministry of Rites were like playing a game. The Ministry of Rites sent a draft, Kangxi sent a draft back, the Ministry of Rites added a little bit of specifications and sent it back, and Kangxi sent it back again.
This cycle has been going on for several months.
But since the Wanshou Festival, Kangxi's attitude has changed.
I will never look at the list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites again.
All matters concerning the Crown Prince were postponed, and the matters concerning the eldest prince and others were dealt with first.
Some ministers were ecstatic—
After waiting for so long, they finally see hope!
As a result, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, who were princes who came to the court to perform official duties and were qualified to compete for the throne, became the favorites of various forces in just over two months.
Soetu was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters.
He frantically sent messages to Yinreng, asking him to distribute the tasks and get out of that hellhole of Sanjin.
