Yinfu shook his head: "Why do you ask that, Fifth Brother? I'm not scared!"
"I thought you didn't want to come to school like me, which is why Consort Chun sent you."
Yinfu smiled, thinking of Wangshu: "Mother is just reluctant to part with me, Fifth Brother, you're overthinking it."
"Alright then!" he said regretfully.
When the Fifth Prince was born, the environment in the harem had improved considerably. However, Consort Yi, who was still a concubine at the time, was unaware of this. Fearing that she would not be able to raise the Fifth Prince, she gave him to the Empress Dowager to raise after realizing that the Empress Dowager intended to raise a child.
The Empress Dowager spoke Mongolian or Manchu in the Shou Kang Palace. It wasn't until the Fifth Prince started school that Emperor Kangxi realized that his son's Mandarin was not very fluent.
The Imperial Study was a place of intense academic pressure, so he developed a slight aversion to studying.
Yin Fu was escorted to school by Wang Shu. It is said that he was very reluctant to part with her, thinking that he had met someone like himself! It turns out that he was just happy for nothing!
Because Yinqi spoke first, Yinfu became familiar with Yinqi first. Although the people in the room were brothers who were close in age and related by blood, in fact, before they went to school, their understanding of each other was limited to knowing each other's names.

Yinfu officially began his school schedule.
At noon, Yinfu returned to the prince's quarters and said to Zhou Quan, "The Empress had the small kitchen in Qixiang Palace send over lunch, which is all the prince's favorite dishes. The Empress said that the small kitchen has prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for dinner."
Yinfu smiled and said, "I know, the courtyard is well tidied up."
"It's all what a servant should do."
Yinfu ate lunch very comfortably, and even took a short nap before going to the study.
The afternoon passed quickly. After leaving the Imperial Study, Yinfu headed towards Qixiang Palace. Yinqi saw him and asked, "Aren't you going back to the Princes' Residence?"
"I'll have dinner at Qixiang Palace, so I won't go there today."
Yinqi didn't think much of it, as he was often taken back to Cining Palace for short stays by the Empress Dowager's people.
"Okay, just remember not to be late tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Fifth Brother."
