Because the Ninth Prince learned the truth about the life-saving grace, he began to pester Yinzhen almost every day for the next period of time.
His daily routine consisted of reporting to the Ministry of Revenue, where Yinzhen worked, early in the morning. He didn't say anything, just drank tea in his room.
If Yinzhen went out to ask for money or run errands, he would follow behind like a tail.
If Yinzhen went straight back to his residence, he would shamelessly come over to freeload a meal.
A month later, Yinzhen finally couldn't stand it anymore and reported the matter to Yinreng.
Yinreng looked at Yinzhen, who looked distressed and frustrated, and found it amusing.
His fourth brother, who always had a blank expression, had recently become quite expressive due to Yinzhen's antics.
"Second brother, what are you laughing at?"
Yinreng was not modest either, saying, "Even the ruthless Prince Yong has moments when he is full of worries and at a loss."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's face, which had just relaxed, fell again.
"Second brother..."
Yinreng stopped laughing and said seriously, "Ninth Prince is a simpleton. He helped Eighth Prince deal with you back then, and now he wants to make amends but doesn't know how to do it, so he came up with such a foolish move."
Yinzhen gave a wry smile.
Knowing that Yinzhen was acting so recklessly to make up for past wrongs, he didn't know how to proceed.
If it were anyone else, he would have sent someone to beat them up with a stick long ago.
"Old Ninth is a shrewd businessman, and he feels indebted to you right now. If we can seize this opportunity to get him into the Ministry of Revenue, it will surely be a great help to you."
Yinzhen recalled that during this period, the Ninth Prince followed him around like a tail all day long, while the Tenth Prince followed the Ninth Prince like a little tail. He subconsciously pinched the bridge of his nose.
"It's fine if the ninth brother gets into the Ministry of Revenue, but what about the tenth brother? That kid is a good-for-nothing and doesn't know anything. We can't just put him in the Ministry of Revenue too."
"why not?"
Yinzhen looked at Yinreng with some confusion, only to see him smile and say, "The Ministry of Revenue is already quite complicated, and you haven't finished collecting the debts yet. Why not let the Tenth Prince take over this matter? With that kid's reckless nature and the backing of the Niohuru clan, I'm sure those old fogies won't dare to show any resentment even if they do."
Yinzhen's eyes lit up instantly.
Because of the Wei Dongting incident, Yinzhen's reputation in the court plummeted. Even though it was later found that the Wei family had framed him, the ministers were still frightened by his upright and incorruptible conduct.
For this reason, in order to appease the court officials, the matter of collecting debts has been suspended for some time.
If the tenth brother takes over this matter in the future, then he can completely extricate himself from this vortex.
"Second Brother's idea is better. Then Second Brother can arrange for Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother to enter the Ministry of Revenue."
After the two brothers finished discussing their business, He Yuzhu came in carrying tea and snacks. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere in the room, he smiled and said, "This servant just saw the young prince playing in the courtyard."
Hongxi can now walk on the ground with his nanny holding his hand. Although he walks very slowly and falls down from time to time, the little guy is stubborn and persistent. No matter how many times he falls, he insists on walking on his own.
Every time Guarjia and Yinreng talked about this, they felt that the child was mentally strong and that if he was properly nurtured, he would definitely be successful in the future.
"Oh, where is my little nephew? Take me to see him."
Yinzhen got up and walked outside. He really liked Hongxi. The chubby little guy always smiled at everyone he saw, and every time he saw him, his heart couldn't help but melt.
Seeing this, Yinreng also went out. The group walked towards the garden, and before they could see the little fat boy, they heard him complaining.
[Couldn't the wet nurse walk a little faster? She walks so slowly, making me keep falling down.]
Ahhh, I really want to walk with my sister! Not only can we improve our speed, but we can also strengthen our bond.
[Sigh, I don't know what Father has been busy with lately. He hasn't come to check on things in the backyard at all. Mother thinks about it every day and hopes for it, but she doesn't dare to go to him on her own. It's really worrying.]
[Oh dear, judging by the dates, Lady Niohuru must be pregnant, right? I remember she got pregnant around this time in my previous life and gave birth to a prince.]
He paused for a moment and then spoke.
[He's so annoying, just as annoying as his mother.]
Upon hearing this, Yinreng just wanted to quickly cover the little guy's mouth; he was too talkative.
"Hongxi, your fourth uncle is here to visit you."
Yinzhen walked over and caught Hongxi, who was about to fall, in his arms. He then spun him around several times, making the child giggle.
[I'm already this fat, and my fourth uncle can still lift me up. It must be really hard on him.]
Yinreng almost burst out laughing.
To my utter surprise, he actually knew I was fat.
"Hongxi, are you looking at the flowers?"
It was almost winter, and there weren't many decent flowers and plants left in the yard, except for a few potted plum blossoms cultivated in the greenhouse sitting on the ground.
Then, Yinzhen pointed to the plum blossoms on the ground and said, "Does Hongxi also like plum blossoms?"
Forget it, it's your Consort Rou who likes plum blossoms, not me.
Yinreng raised an eyebrow. This kid actually knew what the women in other people's backyards liked. He really didn't know how he lived in his previous life.
Hongxi had just finished complaining when he saw Yinreng arriving late. He immediately widened his eyes, stretched out his hands, and made a gesture as if he wanted a hug.
"Does Hongxi miss his father?"
Yinreng then picked up Hongxi and kissed his little face.
Of course I want a father like that, since he's such a good dad.
Yinreng almost couldn't hold him.
[Oh no, why is Father's health suddenly so bad? What happened? Wait a minute, in my previous life at this time, besides the increasingly tense relationship with Grandfather, I don't remember Father experiencing any health problems.]
