At the beginning of the afternoon, Yinzhi and other princes who had left the palace to set up their own residences finished their duties and went back with their wives to attend the small banquet in Yuqing Palace.
When they arrived at Yuqing Palace, it was already noisy and full of people.
Yinzhi, Yinzhi and Yinzhen exchanged a few brief greetings with their wives at the door, and were then led into Yuqing Palace by the palace servants guarding the door.
When they walked in, they found that Yinreng was playing snowballs with a group of boys.
No wonder you can hear the laughter of children at the door.
Seeing the Crown Princess and several sisters standing under the corridor, Yinzhi suddenly regretted not bringing his two daughters with him.
Everyone in the yard soon noticed the presence of Yinzhi and his companions, so they all stopped what they were doing.
Yinreng went to greet him, and Yinzhi and the others saluted and said,
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Hurry up and get up. I was just nagging these brats about you..."
The little brats came forward with a smile and saluted Yinzhi and the others. Afterwards, Yinreng took them to the Guwalgiya clan.
The Irgen Jueluo clan and their companions looked at the Crown Princess standing under the corridor from afar, and were somewhat amazed.
As expected of the Crown Princess, her calm and reserved yet noble temperament is not something that ordinary women can possess.
While several people were looking at Guaerjia, Guaerjia was also looking at them.
In the morning, the prince also briefly introduced these sisters-in-law to her.
In the prince's mouth, they are all gentle and kind people.
Yinzhi and his companions saluted Guaerjia, and Guaerjia bowed in return.
After a brief introduction, Yinreng took Yinzhi and Yinzhen away, leaving only the third brother among the wives and sisters.
Yinzhi stayed under the corridor, watching his brothers playing and fighting in the yard, with envy hidden deep in his eyes.
The imperial physician said that even if he recovered, he would never be able to ride a horse across the grassland again in his lifetime.
He now feels breathless after walking a few more steps and is even weaker than a woman.
Of the six arts of a gentleman, "archery" and "charioteering" no longer had anything to do with him.
That’s all…
I can only blame my bad luck. It's a blessing in disguise that I didn't die in that den of thieves.
Dong E had been paying attention to Yinzhi, and when she noticed that her husband was in a bad mood, she moved closer to him.
Yinzhi noticed her movements, turned around and saw that Dong E's eyes were full of worry.
He forced a smile as a consolation.
At the beginning, he actually didn't like Dong E.
Dong E was a Manchu noblewoman who was brought up in pampered surroundings. She had a spoiled and willful temperament, which was completely different from the wife he had imagined.
In his mind, a woman should be gentle and virtuous. She doesn't have to be well-educated, but she should be well-mannered, gentle and humble.
Although Dong E had read a lot of poetry and books, she was not at all well-educated, gentle, or humble.
Soon after getting married, she began to set rules for the princesses in the backyard. Among them, there was a princess whom she favored the most. As soon as Dong E came, she made her kneel in the yard for two hours.
Because of this incident, he ignored her for more than a month.
Later, Dong E gave in first, and he began to stay overnight in the main courtyard again.
Not long after, a concubine in the backyard became pregnant. He was very happy at the time, but the next day he heard the news of miscarriage.
He conducted a thorough investigation and all the evidence pointed to Dong E.
Dong E refused to admit it, so he was so angry that he slapped her on the spot, and she fainted.
After calling the court doctor, he found out that Dong E was also pregnant.
So the matter just ended there.
Although he couldn't do anything to Dong E because she was pregnant, his disgust for her only grew.
Even the joy of becoming a father has diminished a lot.
When his wife was more than four months pregnant, he accompanied the emperor on a southern tour and almost died in Jiangnan. After returning to Kyoto, his disgust for Dong E was not as strong.
Some even look forward to the birth of their children.
It was then that he realized what a despicable person he was.
The child in Dong E's belly is most likely his only offspring.
He no longer rejected Dong E. In essence, he only regarded her as a tool to bear children for him.
During the months he was trapped in the mansion to recuperate, he had some intention of giving up on himself.
At that time, Dong E was in charge of everything inside and outside the mansion. Before giving birth, she also instructed the people around him in every detail, asking them to take care of him without any negligence.
He suddenly understood the meaning of the word "husband and wife".
Dong E was a qualified wife, but he did not give her the dignity she deserved.
He understood it too late.
If it had happened earlier, she wouldn't have had such a hard time.
Now his body is on the verge of being half-disabled, and he can only survive by relying on the guilt of his emperor father.
Yinzhi laughed bitterly in his heart - it was him who was not worthy of Dong E's kindness.
“Bang!”
A snowball hit Yinzhi right in the chest, waking him from his melancholy.
"Hey, Third Brother, don't you feel ashamed standing here among the concubines? Why don't you run over and help me make a snowball?"
Yinzhi yelled at him, and then was hit by a dense barrage of snowballs and ran away in panic.
"Hey—you bunch of brats! Why don't you hit your second brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhi turned around and found that Yinreng's situation seemed to be no better than his.
"Third brother, come here quickly!"
Yinzhi: “…”
Looking at his eldest and second brothers, as well as the fourth and fifth brothers, being crushed by the group of children led by the seventh brother, he suddenly felt that it didn't seem so bad that he couldn't run anymore.
“Here I come!”
Yinzhi resigned himself to his fate and went down the corridor, took a wooden mold from the young eunuch, and began to make snowballs for Yinzhi.
Even though he couldn't participate directly, he felt a lot more at ease.
The sisters-in-law watched their husbands fooling around with their younger brothers, feeling helpless but also wanting to laugh.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that the princes got along like this? When they were still in the boudoir, they had never seen the brothers playing like this.
After the adults and children had played enough, Yinreng took a group of brothers to wash up.
Guwalja arranged the banquet.
By the time the princes had finished washing, the pots were ready.
The female members of the family sat at one table, and the princes sat at two tables.
The usually empty and cold hall was now packed with people, and with the addition of steaming pots, Yinreng dared to say that the atmosphere during the New Year celebrations in the Qianqing Palace was not as good as it is now.
It’s a pity that there is no fat house happy water…
