Originally Yinzhi was quite happy.
He thought that his years of hard work had paid off and that he had finally been noticed by the Emperor.
But after Mingzhu came to his house, he finally understood the meaning of the matter.
That's not the case at all.
Before Yinreng returned to Beijing, although he and his two younger brothers Yinzhi were also favored, it was not as obvious as it has been in recent days.
Many people also guessed that it was because Yinreng openly contradicted the emperor on the emperor's birthday, which made him unhappy, that he started to support the other princes.
The purpose was naturally to give Yinreng some warning.
In their view, once Yinreng returned to Beijing, he would surrender himself before the Emperor and cry bitterly, and the matter would be over.
Who would have thought that even though Yinreng had been back in Beijing for seven or eight days, the Emperor still had no intention of forgiving Yinreng.
Instead, he favored them even more.
This made the court officials wonder whether Yinreng was really disliked by the emperor.
Mingzhu probably saw this clearly, so she couldn't wait to run to him and confess her guilt.
When Yinzhi thought of Mingzhu using Concubine Hui to kidnap him, he felt disgusted.
Because of this, he couldn't help but open his eyes again the next second after closing them while lying in bed these past two days, and only after cursing Mingzhu could he vent his anger.
The biggest setback he ever suffered in his life was at the hands of Mingzhu. How could he possibly make the same mistake again?
Could it be that in Mingzhu's eyes, he is a cruel person who only cares about power and doesn't care about anything else?
Yinreng was speechless when he saw his constipated face.
"Do you think these politicians only care about profit?"
"Who knew that? I reacted quickly and beat that bastard out on the spot!"
Yinzhi was still a little angry and his words were extremely impolite.
He did regard Mingzhu as an elder in the past, but the elder he respected in his heart gave him the loudest slap in the face.
However, his brother, whom he had previously looked down upon and regarded as an enemy, had been taking great pains to find ancient remedies and supplements for his wife during the six months that she was recuperating.
Which one is truly for him? Can't you tell by looking at him?
Yinzhen was confused as he listened nearby.
He knew that Mingzhu was a loyal supporter of his eldest brother, and he also vaguely sensed that there was a rift between the two of them, but he didn't know what the cause of this rift was.
Now looking at the ugly face of my elder brother, it seems that this matter is very serious.
Otherwise, with my brother's temper, he wouldn't grit his teeth when Mingzhu is mentioned.
Yinzhi shook his head, not wanting to mention that disgusting thing again, and changed the subject.
"What about you? You really don't intend to admit your mistake to the Emperor?"
Yinreng rolled his eyes.
"I did nothing wrong, why should I admit my mistake?"
"But he is our father after all, you..."
"Stop! I know what you want to say. If you say it again, I'll be angry..."
Yinzhi was embarrassed.
"Okay, can't I just stop talking?"
Yinreng snorted coldly and did not pursue the matter any further.
In this era where filial piety is advocated in everything, sons cannot refute any of their father's actions or words. If they do, they will be considered unfilial.
Even though he knew he had done nothing wrong, going against Kangxi's wishes was a serious crime.
Yinreng didn't want to indulge in this twisted "rule".
The brothers turned to talk about other things, and soon Yinqi arrived.
The four brothers sat at a table, talking and laughing, and the scene was quite eye-catching.
Tong Guowei stood in the yard, surrounded by several important officials in the court, but his mind was not on his colleagues.
Now the chaos in the court has begun to emerge.
He had previously thought that the Crown Prince had not yet married and had no children. Even the eldest prince, who married first, now only had two legitimate daughters and no illegitimate sons.
Therefore, the emperor will protect the prince until his offspring are raised, and then he will allow the court to split up.
Only then will he have the chance to get involved.
And it can't be too obvious.
If the daughters in the palace did not give birth to children for the emperor, the Tong family could not openly take sides.
He must be a staunch royalist.
But now, everything he expected obviously does not match the current time point.
This made Tong Guowei unable to make up his mind for a moment.
Should he end it now, or should he follow his original plan and consider other things after the prince gave birth to a child?
While Tong Guowei was lost in thought, Yinzhi, dressed in the auspicious attire of a prince, walked into the central hall in high spirits.
Following behind him was a group of officials, also wearing auspicious attire.
"This humble servant greets the Crown Prince, Second Brother."
Yinreng had already stood up when he heard the noise in the yard. Seeing this, he hurried forward with a smile to help him up.
"Have you gone to the palace to express your gratitude?"
"Um…"
Nowadays, when a prince gets married, he doesn’t have to go to his father-in-law’s house in person to welcome his wife.
Instead, the general manager of the Imperial Household Department led the team to welcome the bride.
Bringing the bride to the prince's residence shows that the prince has absolute dominance in this marriage.
Yinzhi was the protagonist today. After exchanging greetings with his brothers for a while, he went to show his face in front of the ministers.
When the wedding procession returned to the Third Prince's residence, Yinreng looked at Dong E, who was wrapped tightly, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the farce of replacing the bride in the Qing palace dramas he often watched as a child.
How could it be possible that a prince’s wedding was on the same day as a minister’s son’s?
If the Ministry of Rites dared to draft such a regulation and hand it to Kangxi, he would probably be stripped of his official uniform that same day.
After Yinzhi and the bride had paid their respects to heaven and earth, but had not yet been sent to the bridal chamber.
There was a sharp voice outside the door——
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As soon as the noise came out, the noisy yard fell into silence, and then everyone knelt on the ground.
"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes His Majesty!"
Soon, Kangxi walked in with a rosy face.
He glanced at Yinreng, who was kneeling at the head of the ministers, and a sneer rose in his heart.
If you are not anxious, then I will make Soetu anxious!
Let’s see who can prevail.
Kangxi walked to the main seat and sat down, saying in a gentle voice,
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yinzhi helped his wife get up from the ground, with some excitement still on his face.
He didn't expect that the emperor would come out of the palace to attend his wedding.
The last time my eldest brother got married, the Emperor didn't leave the palace...
"Today is the day my third prince is getting married. I came to take a look. Everyone, don't be so reserved."
"yes……"
There were sporadic responses from the hall.
Yinreng had a smile on his face the whole time and didn't react at all.
Kangxi came here mainly to see Yinreng's reaction.
But he did not hear Yinreng's inner voice, and he couldn't help feeling confused.
"Third brother, you have been intelligent and well-mannered since childhood. I carefully selected Dong E and granted you the title of my wife. In the future, you..."
Kangxi talked a lot, and Yinreng raised his eyelids, speechless.
"No one else can act this well..."
