After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kangxi stayed in Changchun Garden for a few more days and then returned to the Forbidden City with his family.
After all, it was less than two months away from Yinzhi's wedding, so he attached great importance to this first son who was raised and married.
But all this has nothing to do with Yinreng.
He continued to study, practice riding and archery, and pay his respects to his elders as usual.
In this way, the day for Yinzhi to move soon arrived.
After the riding and archery class ended that day, Yinreng immediately returned to Yuqing Palace. After changing his clothes, he got on a carriage, left the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate, and headed straight for Yinzhi's mansion.
Today's Sijiu City is divided into the inner city and the outer city. Only Manchus and Han people with banners can live in the inner city.
The Imperial City is located in the center of the Inner City, and the Forbidden City is inside the Imperial City.
Those who are eligible to own their own residence in the imperial city must be members of the royal family.
The living quarters for the guards and bondservants were all provided by the Imperial City Administration, the Ministry of Clan Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other departments, and were not owned by individuals or families.
The specifications of the mansions where royal family members live are linked to their titles. Yinzhi is still the bald prince, and the mansion he was allocated is just an ordinary four-in-one courtyard house, which was rebuilt on the basis of the mansion of a wealthy family in the late Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, this mansion is not far from the Forbidden City and there is still space around it. When Yinzhi is granted a title in the future, the specifications of the mansion will be upgraded accordingly.
Or perhaps, Kangxi would reward him with another mansion.
When Yinreng arrived, his younger brothers had also arrived.
It’s not that Yinreng was showing off, it’s just that he finished his horse riding and archery lessons late.
Yinzhi's face was full of joy, and he rarely gave Yinreng a cold look when he saw him.
Yinreng felt that Yinzhi was now a little more stable than he was a month ago.
After some greetings, everyone took their seats.
The protagonist today is Yinzhi, but he is not qualified to sit in the main seat, and Yinreng has to sit above him.
In fact, not to mention him, even Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Gong Changning had to kneel down and kowtow to Yinreng in formal occasions.
Yinreng was not qualified to kneel before anyone except Kangxi, Xiaozhuang, the Empress Dowager, his mother, and the tablets of his ancestors.
Perhaps it was precisely such subtle injustices that deepened Yinzhi's desire for the throne.
The atmosphere at the banquet was warm and everyone sincerely wished Yinzhi to establish his own government.
I also wish him to achieve great things and be awarded honors and nobility as soon as possible.
During the banquet, Yinzhi asked Yinzhi,
"Brother, which government office will you be assigned to after your wedding?"
When mentioning this, the smile on Yinzhi's face widened a lot, and he said frankly,
"Ministry of War."
The Ministry of War was indeed where he wanted to go. When he learned that he was going to the Ministry of War, Yinzhi's joy was beyond words.
"oh."
Yinzhi replied calmly with one word. Obviously, he was not interested in the Ministry of War.
Yinreng nodded and praised.
"Brother, your martial arts are amazing. You will definitely thrive in the military department."
The other princes also followed suit.
Hearing Yinreng's praise, Yinzhi looked at Yinreng with a little surprise.
Yinzhi thought that their Crown Prince would be furious when he heard that he was going to the Ministry of War.
Even if she wasn't furious, she would at least show some displeasure. How come she wasn't angry at all and instead blessed him?
Yinzhi was puzzled, then he carefully observed Yinreng's expression and found that there was indeed no sign of displeasure on his face, and he seemed inexplicably bored.
It's like you take a rare thing you finally got and show it off to your enemy. Not only does your enemy not covet the rare thing, but he also praises you for your good luck.
Just... no matter how I taste it, it just doesn't taste right.
Even the joy of going to the Ministry of War to serve has faded a little.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
Yinzhi looked a little tipsy, but Yinreng and the other princes were still sober.
They were still young and drank fruit wine, which was more like fruit juice than wine.
But after drinking a belly full of water, the toilet became a hot commodity.
When Yinreng stood up to go to the toilet, Yinzhi also stood up.
Although he was a little tipsy, his steps were still steady.
The toilet was in the west wing. After leaving the main room, Yinzhi took two quick steps to catch up with Yinreng.
"Your Highness, do you honestly think that my joining the Ministry of War is a good thing?"
Yinreng turned his head, glanced at Yinzhi, who was half a body length behind him, and then stopped.
Yinzhi also stood still, not knowing why.
Seeing that the two seemed to be about to start a conversation, their personal eunuchs exchanged glances and then stepped back a few meters.
The two stood facing each other under the corridor, just like they did outside the walls of the Cining Palace.
Yinreng spoke,
"Whether you believe it or not, I sincerely hope that you, or my other brothers, can have a good future."
"impossible!"
Yinzhi categorically denied it. He always felt that Yinreng occupied most of the emperor's attention, which resulted in him not receiving the emperor's attention for more than a few days since he was born.
Put yourself in his shoes. If he were the crown prince, he would have wished that his other brothers would live a mediocre life and cut off the possibility of competing with him for the throne. How could Yinreng be so generous as to wish his brothers a good future?
Yinreng sighed,
"Since you were little, you've envied me for being favored by the Emperor. You've earned the position of Crown Prince, and you'll be able to legitimately inherit the throne in the future. Don't you know that I envy you, too..."
Yinzhi sneered,
"You're trying to fool me with this nonsense again... Envy me? What should I envy?
