Wenxi had already discussed this matter with her last night. Such cunning things do happen on the grasslands, but they are not common; most people are straightforward.
But seeing Wen Ke's crazy state today still made her feel quite relieved. "If this matter is really investigated, then I will take the blame. You all came up with this idea just to vent my anger."
Wenxi and Manzhu patted her on the shoulder, "Now that we are sisters, we should naturally help each other."
Fortunately, nothing further came of this matter, presumably because Consort Min suppressed it.
When Hongxi learned of this, he was taken aback.
He never expected that his innocent and adorable older sister would have such a scheming ability.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you standing at the door in a daze?" Wenxi waved to Hongxi.
As soon as Hongxi entered the room, a wave of warmth washed over him. He casually untied his cloak and handed it to Zhang Quan before walking over to sit down on a chair by the brazier.
"Are we going to the horse farm tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Wenxi jumped up happily, "Can we leave the palace? Who will be with us?"
Qingqing, who was standing nearby, also looked over excitedly.
Hongxi smiled and said, "Right now it's just you and me, Qingqing, but you can also invite others. I've also invited Zhang Ruoyan."
Wenxi thought for a moment, "Of course we'll invite Manzhu'er, and we can also invite Aunt Twelve."
Everyone's been busy with the Lunar New Year holiday lately, and Wenxi hasn't seen its first snow for a while.
"Alright, let's write the invitations then, and go out of the palace together tomorrow for some fun."
The next morning, Hongxi, wearing a red fox fur cloak, stood proudly in the front yard, waiting for Wenxi to bring Qingqing over.
Zhang Quan kept flattering him, "Your Highness's cloak is really beautiful. All around is silvery white snow, but your fiery red cloak is dazzling no matter how you look at it."
Hongxi pursed his lips smugly.
He had specially obtained this cloak from his mother. It was originally intended to be a cloak for Wenxi, but he discovered it while checking the storeroom and had to beg and plead for a long time before he finally got it.
Today is the first time I'm wearing this, and I want to stand out in the crowd.
Hey, isn't that my son over there? What's he doing standing there like a peacock?
Hongxi...
Turning around, he saw Yinreng walking towards him in a purple cloak, holding a fan, his eyes darting up and down.
Hey, isn't this my dad who's always fanning himself in the dead of winter?
Yinreng raised an eyebrow.
As the distance between the two people drew closer, Hongxi stepped forward and bowed very respectfully, saying, "Greetings to Father."
You're quite the actor.
Yinreng complained inwardly, but he remained composed in front of his servants.
What are you doing standing here so early in the morning?
"I want to go horseback riding outside the palace with my sister." After a pause, Hongxi added, "You know you promised."
[Hmph, you said you were going horseback riding with your friends, but you didn't say it was with Wenxi.]
etc.
[Hearing good news?]
"Just you and your sister? No one called Qingqing?"
Hongxi blushed slightly, "Of course I'll call you that, since we all live in Yuqing Palace, I definitely have to."
Hehe, I think you just want to be called Qingqing.
"What a coincidence. Your grandfather just sent someone to tell us that my father and I should go to the Qianqing Palace together."
Seeing the astonishment in his son's eyes, Yinreng mischievously added, "Go immediately."
Just as Hongxi was about to say something, he saw Wenxi and Qingqing walking over.
"Hongxi's cloak is really beautiful," Wenxi praised sincerely.
At this moment, Hongxi had no interest in listening to these words. Even when he saw that Qingqing was also wearing a red cloak, he still felt no excitement.
“Sister, Grandfather just asked me and Father to go to the Qianqing Palace together.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Wenxi and Qingqing's eyes.
"You all go out and have some fun first. If I can handle things here quickly, I'll come out of the palace to find you."
Hongxi was also puzzled. What did his grandfather want to see him about?
So the three children quickly split into two groups. Wenxi took Qingqing out of the palace to meet up with her friends, while Hongxi followed Yinreng to the Qianqing Palace.
The father and son remained silent throughout the journey, though they had many thoughts on their minds.
[If Grandfather needs anything, he can ask his father, why is he coming to me?]
"Father is the crown prince, why are you looking for me?"
I really want to go horseback riding! I wonder when I'll have another chance if I miss this one.
Yinreng picked at his ear, thinking that it would be great if there were an on/off switch for hearing such things, so he could turn it off when he didn't want to hear them.
So, when Kangxi saw the father and son arrive at the Qianqing Palace, he was very happy. "The weather is quite nice today. The three of us can take a walk. Let's have a hot pot for lunch."
"Didn't you have something to do? Is it just for hot pot? I don't want to eat, I want to go horseback riding!"
Hongxi inwardly groaned, while Yinreng found it too noisy.
【Shut up. 】
Hongxi immediately became clear-headed and dared not have any more wild thoughts.
After handing the cloak to He Yuzhu, Yinreng sat down next to Kangxi.
"Father, how is the eldest son doing? Has any news come through?"
Kangxi was happy whenever this matter was mentioned.
He took a memorial and placed it in Yinreng's hand, "Guess who the spy is?"
Upon hearing Kangxi's question, Yinreng guessed that his eldest son had already launched an attack, and that it was quite effective.
But he still pretended to be clueless.
