Seeing that his brothers had also stopped, Yinreng got up from the ground first.
"Let's go. We'll get cold if we stay any longer."
Yinzhi nodded.
"become."
The two of them came to the front of their brothers, and Yinreng asked,
"Did you have fun today?"
“Have fun!”
Their little faces were flushed and their eyes were full of joy.
Yinreng discussed with several people,
"How about you all follow me to Yuqing Palace to eat something and warm yourself up before returning to your respective residences?"
Although Yinreng asked this question to everyone, after he asked, everyone's eyes fell on Yinzhi.
After all, he is the oldest, so we should show him some respect.
Yinzhi shrugged when he saw this.
"I have no objection."
"That's fine with me."
"Sure, second brother."
The others quickly nodded in agreement, and Yinreng led his men towards Yuqing Palace.
During the break from the snowball fight, Yinreng asked He Zhuer to go to the imperial kitchen because he wanted to eat hotpot in the evening.
Even if Yinzhi and others didn't want to join him, he still had to eat.
Yinyou ran a lot today, which caused him to walk a little slowly. Seeing this, Yinreng patted Yinzhi and motioned him to look at Yinyou.
Yinzhi took a glance and immediately understood.
Then he walked to Yinyou, grabbed him and put him in his arms.
Yinreng asked Yinsi for his opinion and then carried him on his back.
When Yinyou was picked up, he was still a little confused about the situation. Only after Yinzhi held him firmly did he have the chance to see what was happening.
After seeing Yinreng also carrying Yinsi on his back, he leaned over to Yinzhi's ear and whispered his thanks.
"Thank you, brother."
Yinzhi smiled.
"What are you thanking me for? We are all brothers."
In fact, in a situation like this, it is not impossible for Yinreng to command the young eunuch to help Yinyou.
Yinreng was mainly afraid that if he did this, Yinyou would think that he was a burden to his brothers and would not want to play with them next time.
When Yinzhi hugs Yinyou, he hugs Yinsi. Yinyou will probably feel that Yinzhi is setting an example for him, and this way Yinyou's psychological burden will be much less.
Seeing this, the other people were also moved.
They had never had such an experience before. Even when they were practicing horseback archery and Bu Ku in the archery pavilion, everyone was accompanied by a martial arts master.
When Kangxi was testing his teachers, he mostly only looked at their riding and archery skills. As for Buku, he mostly played against the Hahazhuzi around him, and there was not much sense of accomplishment in winning.
On the contrary, today they are playing snowball fights with their brothers and sisters. They don’t have to care about the difference in status between each other. No matter whether they win or lose, no one will give in to them, which makes them feel at ease.
After returning to Yuqing Palace, Yinreng realized that he had done something stupid.
He originally wanted to take his brothers to eat hot pot with him to warm themselves up, but he forgot that they had been running in the snow for half an hour, and their boots, pants and clothes were all damp to varying degrees. They should change their clothes immediately.
Yinreng slapped his forehead in frustration.
"It was a bad idea."
Yinzhi was a little confused, but Yinzhen saw what Yinreng meant and took the initiative to step forward and said,
"Are you worried about your brothers' wet clothes?"
Yinreng nodded.
"Well, I should have asked you to change clothes first. I was inconsiderate."
After hearing this, Yinzhi said directly,
"It's just some wet clothes, I can bear it."
Yinreng rolled his eyes at him.
"Do you think everyone is as strong-limbed and simple-minded as you? Yinsi and Yinyou are too young. If they are not careful, they may catch a cold!"
Having said this, Yinreng looked at He Zhuer,
"Where's the ginger soup?"
He Zhuer bowed,
"Everything is ready. I will serve it to you right away."
"Give it to Xiaoqi and Xiaoba first."
“Yeah.”
After each of them drank a bowl of ginger soup, Yinreng followed Yinzhen's advice and asked their personal eunuchs to go back to the prince's house to get clothes, shoes and socks.
They first warmed themselves in front of the charcoal brazier.
After changing their clothes, everyone sat down at the table that had been prepared long ago and started eating hot pot.
The only drawback is that there are not many green leafy vegetables.
Moreover, the base of the pot only contains broth, or chicken soup or mutton soup, and there is no spicy base like the beef oil pot.
Fortunately, he had prepared some chili powder, which he used as a dipping sauce and it tasted pretty good.
Yinzhi found his way of eating quite unique, so he followed suit.
"This tastes so spicy! So weird... but it's delicious."
"If I have time in the future, I'll have someone make some butter sauce so you can experience what real hot pot is."
"hot pot?"
“Just add more to the pot.”
Yinzhi was speechless and then buried his head in eating.
This pot was originally brought to the capital by the Manchus from the Northeast. If you want to talk about authenticity, the pot they eat without adding any condiments is the authentic one.
But he also admitted that the cooked ingredients tasted good when dipped in sauce with some chili peppers.
After eating and drinking, Yinzhi leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said with emotion,
"Compared to this meal, the banquets we had these past two days were really terrible."
Yinreng picked his teeth and answered nonchalantly,
"Are you supposed to go to the banquet? That's for you to connect with other people. Otherwise, when will you ever have the chance to sit down and eat with the Emperor?"
Yinzhi: "...Do you really want to poke people's hearts like this?"
After spending some time together, he gradually became more casual when talking to Yinreng.
"Who among you here has eaten as much as you and the Emperor?"
"I'll give you the chance."
Yinreng smirked.
"Then let's not do that. This is all a special honor for you, Your Highness!"
Yinzhi immediately refused.
In the past, he thought it was a great thing to be able to always be by the side of the Emperor, and he had longed for it for a long time. But ever since he witnessed with his own eyes that Kangxi dragged Yinreng out and beat him with a stick for almost no reason, he no longer had the intention to compete with Yinreng for these "honors".
No wonder the ancients said that serving the king is like serving a tiger.
Everyone's butt is made of flesh. He remembered that he had made the emperor angry many times since he was a child. In the past, he was mostly scolded or punished by copying books.
Now that he had seen how Yinreng would be beaten for the slightest disagreement, he felt that his life was pretty good.
The next morning, I got up on time and went to class again.
Yinreng felt that the prince's life was too tiring.
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. If it were in the future, not to mention educational institutions, even the assembly line factories would be closed. Zhou Paopi would not be able to do this.
But when he thought about it, the wages earned by the oxen and horses in the future after working hard for a year were not even enough to buy a toilet in the capital, and Yinreng felt inexplicably balanced.
Never mind, even if it was just to enjoy the prince's food, clothing and other expenses, he had to abide by the rules.
