The marriage between the two clans was no joke. Even if Kangxi was reluctant, he knew that there was no possibility of changing it. He had no intention of changing Yinzuo's marriage just now. He just thought that his son was already grown up, and since he couldn't get married first, it would be better to give him a concubine.
"What are you talking about? What are you thinking about? I just wanted to say that you are not a child anymore. Since the marriage has been postponed, why don't I give you a concubine first?"
What? Of course not. Yinzuo considered himself not a gentleman and had never thought about being faithful to one man, but that didn't mean he wanted to have three wives and four concubines. So when he heard Kangxi's words, Yinzuo immediately objected.
"Stop it, Khan Ama, please give up this idea as soon as possible. Your son can only have one wife in his life. Please don't give me some messy women. I don't want to have a peaceful home."
No, what do you mean by a messy woman? How can there be no peace in the house? Didn't this guy only meet that girl Wu Ren Tuya once? Could it be that he fell in love with her at first sight after meeting her that time? Good man, no wonder he reacted so strongly just now, it turns out he was afraid that I would replace his wife.
"In this life, I only want one wife in my backyard. Yinzuo, do you really like this little girl Wuren Tuya that much?"
Yin Zuo wondered what his father had imagined. He glanced at him in confusion. "What's the connection?" he asked. "Don't you have any idea how we got together?" "Isn't that the same random match you made up back then? How can we say we're in love after just one encounter?"
"What do you mean by like or dislike, Khan Ama? I mean, you can decide who I marry in this life, but I have the final say on how many women to have in the backyard. You know my son is most afraid of trouble, and too many women in the backyard means there will be endless trouble. So my son only plans to marry one legitimate wife in this life. Please don't cause trouble for him when you know he hates trouble?"
Although Kangxi was almost confused by Yinzuo's troubles, he understood what Yinzuo meant. It seemed that he had just overthought it. And how could giving him a concubine be considered as causing trouble for him? Well, it seems that he still didn't understand.
Kangxi knew Yinzuo's temperament. Although he seemed smooth-talking, he was actually stubborn inside. If you forced him to do something he didn't want to do, he would probably stick his neck out and fight to the death. Although Kangxi thought it was ridiculous that Yinzuo, a prince, had only one legitimate wife in his harem, he didn't intend to argue with Yinzuo over such a small matter. After all, the child was still young and his thoughts were inevitably paranoid. He could just slowly change his mind later.
"I've only seen you hanging around me lately. Why don't you go out for a walk? When the weather was cold, you were out every day. Now that it's warm, why are you still staying at home?"
Speaking of this, Yinzuo couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It was because he had been traveling too frequently recently. He had been to all the fun and interesting places near the capital, and now he was too lazy to go out.
"Khan Ama, if your son is willing to stay with you, it's because of no other choice. My eldest, second, and third brothers have been so busy lately that they have no time to play with me. The ninth brother is helping me keep an eye on the Ministry of Works, and the tenth brother is looking after Dai Zi. They can't leave either. As for the thirteenth and fourteenth, forget it. If I ask them to, who knows who will play with whom? Last time I took Fourteenth to the cockfighting arena, he had more fun than me. If it weren't for the time when the palace gates were locked, he wouldn't want to come back..."
There were many things to do at the beginning of the year. Not to mention Yinzhen and others who were busy all the time, even Kangxi didn't have much free time. There was still a pile of memorials in the imperial study. Kangxi naturally didn't have time to joke with Yinzuo here. He chatted with Yinzuo for a few words and then went back to the imperial study to continue working on his pile of memorials.
Such boring days continued until May. It’s not that anything changed in Yinzuo’s life after May, but after May, the royal family welcomed a happy event. Yes, our fifth prince was getting married.
Although there are regulations for the marriage of princes, Yinqi has the support of the empress dowager, so his wedding is naturally more grand than that of ordinary princes. Not to mention the generous rewards from the empress dowager, which makes Yinzuo, a money-grubber, very jealous.
"Madam, you truly love your fifth brother the most. Look at this list of rewards, it's almost as thick as a brick."
It is said that people feel refreshed when they encounter happy events. The grandson that the empress dowager raised is now about to get married. How can she not be happy? The old lady is not short of money, so her way of expressing happiness is very down-to-earth, that is, to reward everyone she meets. When she heard what Yinzuo said, she grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds from the fruit plate next to her and stuffed them into Yinzuo's hand, and then pulled him to sit next to her.
"Don't be upset, Xiaoliu. The Royal Mama loves you too. Don't worry, the Royal Mama has reserved your share for you. It will definitely not be less than your fifth brother's."
The old lady is now so old that she knows clearly that money is just material possessions. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. So why did she leave all that money? Instead of leaving it as an inheritance to her children and grandchildren, why not buy everyone happiness while she is still alive?
If you ask who among her grandchildren is the most favored by the old lady, the first one you would definitely name is Yinqi, whom she brought up, and the second is Yinzuo, who is sweet-mouthed and can make her happy. What's more, Yinzuo's future wife is a girl from Khorchin, so the old lady has no reluctance to give the money to them.
Yinzuo obviously didn't expect that a joke he made casually could bring such a big surprise. He immediately smiled and stood up and punched the old lady a thousand times.
"Grandson thanks the Royal Madam for the reward."
Although the wedding was in the evening, Yinzuo and his brothers arrived at Yinqi's house in the afternoon. Everyone had been very busy recently, and now that they had finally gotten together, they naturally had a lot to talk about. Everyone sat together and first joked about today's groom Yinqi, and then the topic turned to Yinzuo.
"Sixth brother, I heard that you fell in love with your future sister-in-law at first sight. Not only were you willing to wait for her for three years, but you even went to the Khan Ama to ask him not to give you a concubine. Come, tell me if this rumor is true or not."
Yinzuo was originally holding up his chin and watching his fifth brother's show, but who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly and everyone would be watching his show. As for whether this rumor is true or not, it is really hard to say. After all, if you say it is false, it is not completely false, but if you say it is true, it is indeed ridiculously false.
