Not long after the show started, heavy snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Xiaozhuang was old, and although she could still see, the gloomy weather had left her with little interest.
So when a play was over, Xiaozhuang asked everyone to stop and then took everyone back to the Cining Palace.
According to Empress Xiaozhuang's wishes, the concubines were sent back to their respective residences by Su Malagu.
Yinreng, Yinzhi, the eldest princess and several other older princes and princesses were left behind.
The Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi were also present.
Empress Xiaozhuang had a strong personality and didn't like to be surrounded by children and grandchildren.
But after her health gradually deteriorated in the past two years, she consciously tried to interact more with the younger generations.
Perhaps he also wanted to leave some impression on his great-grandchildren.
In front of Xiaozhuang and others, except for Yinreng, the other princes and princesses were a little restrained. Yinreng asked Xiaozhuang if they could play mahjong or chess.
Xiaozhuang readily agreed.
He didn't ask Kangxi.
As long as it does not involve state affairs, Kangxi is just a younger brother to Xiaozhuang.
Kangxi also knew what he was planning, but he just smiled and said nothing.
It was true that he was in the wrong at the beginning of the month, and the guilt in his heart had not completely dissipated yet. Besides, he was extremely tired from being busy since yesterday and had no energy to argue with Yinreng.
So Yinreng asked someone to get a few sets of Go and leaf cards, and they gathered in groups of three or five to play.
Yinreng taught his younger brothers how to play Gobang, and then went to teach the Empress Dowager. Xiaozhuang found it novel and came over to watch the Empress Dowager and Yinreng play Go.
After watching for a while, Yinreng felt that it was not a good idea to let Xiaozhuang play alone, so he gave up his seat and let her play two games.
Later, she felt exhausted and went to the bedroom to rest alone.
Kangxi sat on the couch and watched his children playing. It was a lively scene and warmth suddenly surged in his heart.
It seemed that his children gradually became more humane under the guidance of Yinreng.
At the end of noon, Kangxi, Xiaozhuang, the Empress Dowager and several princes gathered in Baohe Hall.
Today's banquet is for the royal family.
The position of empress was vacant at this time, and no one in Kangxi's harem was qualified to attend today's banquet.
The process was almost the same as yesterday's family dinner.
The banquet ended at noon.
After leaving Baohe Hall, Yinreng found that the outside was all white.
The heavy snow had been falling intermittently for several hours, and the snow on the ground had already reached above his ankles. Yinreng quietly measured it and thought that the thickness was about ten centimeters.
Yinreng asked Kangxi to let him go with his brothers to take a look at the prince's residence.
Kangxi was a little tired and agreed without thinking.
Yinreng happily chased Yinzhi and others.
Yinzhi saw that he was still a little puzzled.
"Isn't the Crown Prince going back to Yuqing Palace?"
Yinzhi, Yinzhen and others had the same doubts.
Yinreng smiled and looked at Yinzhi.
"Today I will give you a chance to vent your resentment. How about that?"
Yinzhi was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Yinreng laughed twice.
"Follow me."
Yinreng signaled Yinzhi and others to follow.
He walked forward, and the people behind him looked at each other and followed him in confusion.
Soon, Yinreng stood on the archery training ground.
Because the princes were all on leave today, no one came to the archery pavilion to practice horse riding, archery and Bu Ku, so the eunuch who was cleaning the training ground did not clear the snow.
Besides, the snow is so heavy that it cannot be cleared away unless it is cleared continuously.
Yinreng turned around and looked at his brothers.
"How about we have a snowball fight today?"
"Well……"
Yinzhi was filled with black lines.
"I thought you were going to vent your anger, but it turns out you're just going to have a snowball fight."
Yinreng was calm and composed.
"The rules of today's snowball fight are that each of you fights on your own, and the eunuchs around you are not allowed to help."
"But you can only hit the opponent with snowballs, not with your hands. Otherwise, it will be considered a foul. The eunuch watching from the side will restrain the person who hits the opponent for half an incense stick, and let the others throw snowballs from five meters away. What do you think?"
Finally, Yinreng even looked at Yinzhi provocatively.
"Brother, don't you want to take this opportunity to beat me up? I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time!"
Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and said viciously,
"Who said I don't want to beat you up? Let's make it clear in advance that the loser is not allowed to complain to the Emperor!"
"Of course!"
Yinreng nodded in agreement, then looked at the rest of his brothers.
"What about you?"
After hearing the rules, the five princes Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou and Yinsi were eager to try it out. When they saw Yinreng asking for their opinions, they agreed without hesitation.
Yinreng showed his big white teeth, then stretched out his arms——
“Pah.”
A snowball hit Yinzhi's chest accurately.
Yinzhi looked at the snow stains on his chest in disbelief.
"You're playing dirty, aren't you?"
When he looked up again, Yinreng had already run several meters away.
Yinzhi laughed in anger and started to chase after him.
"Second brother, if you have the guts to cheat, then don't run away!"
Yinsi looked at his two brothers who had run away, then looked at his brothers who were watching the battle intently, and quietly squatted down.
The clumsy little hands were still wearing gloves. After randomly making a snowball, his eyes rolled around a few times, and then he threw the snowball at Yinyou without hesitation.
"whee……"
Yinsi ran away laughing.
Yinyou's gaze returned to himself, and seeing the traces of Snowball on his cloak, he also ran after Yinsi.
"Old Eight, you're playing dirty too!"
