Yinqi's words at the mourning hall quickly reached Kangxi's ears.
Emperor Kangxi was both angry at his son for his unreliable behavior and secretly felt sorry for him.
You brat, if you have such thoughts, just say so. Why bring it up?
"Is Father Emperor worried about my elder brother's affairs?" As soon as Yinreng entered the Qianqing Palace, he saw Kangxi wandering around with his hands behind his back, his face full of annoyance.
Upon seeing his beloved son, Kangxi's smile broadened.
"Baocheng, you're here."
Kangxi walked towards the dragon throne, sat down, and sighed again. "How could Baoqing be so foolish? He should have just thought about his thoughts in his heart. Why did he have to say them out loud? Even if he did say them out loud, why did he have to say them in front of so many ministers? How will he find a good wife in the future?"
Yinreng could tell that Kangxi felt sorry for Yinti, not that he was angry with him.
"That's easy, Father Emperor can just bestow the marriage upon us."
Kangxi raised an eyebrow. "He already said that, and he still wants me to be the bad guy?"
Yinreng personally poured tea for Kangxi, saying, "How can Father Emperor bear to see his son suffer?"
Kangxi took a sip of tea and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I never expected Baoqing to go to such lengths for Hongyu. I heard that Lady Irgen Gioro met with the Crown Princess before her death?"
Yinreng nodded and then recounted the situation at the time.
She concluded with a sigh, "Mothers always worry about their children. After talking with the Crown Princess, my sister-in-law was finally able to put her mind at ease."
Kangxi nodded, then noticed a hint of sadness on Yinreng's face, and realized that the child had never seen his mother since he was a child.
Although it is an unparalleled honor for a prince to be raised by the emperor himself, who wouldn't want to have their mother's care?
Emperor Kangxi sensed the somber atmosphere and tried to change the subject.
"I've heard that Hongyu gets along quite well with Wenxi. Let him stay at Yuqing Palace for a while, so that the eldest son, that unreliable fellow, won't cause any more trouble."
Yinreng also had this idea and planned to personally go to the Prince's Mansion the next day to bring Hongyu back.
The two chatted for a while, and then Liang Jiugong came in to ask if dinner would be served at the Qianqing Palace.
This question was naturally directed at Yinreng.
"I'll stay here with Father Emperor."
Emperor Kangxi was delighted upon hearing this and ate an extra half bowl of rice.
Upon returning to Yuqing Palace, Yinreng went directly to the side hall to visit Wenxi.
The little girl was helping Hongxi learn to read, pointing to the large characters in the book and teaching them one by one.
The palace servants were about to pay their respects when Yinreng entered when they were stopped. He stood quietly at the palace gate, watching the scene unfold.
When did Wenxi become so sensible?
After an unknown amount of time, Wenxi turned around and saw Yinreng standing there. She ran over happily and was immediately pulled into Yinreng's arms.
"Father, when did you arrive?"
Yinreng gently pinched her little nose. "Father came in for a while and saw you teaching your younger brother to read, so he didn't disturb you."
Wenxi laughed heartily, "Father, my little brother is so smart. My daughter only taught him twice, and he could remember it."
Yinreng glanced at Hongxi, who was putting on an act, and found it all amusing.
This kid has been reborn, and he probably knows all the knowledge from books enough to teach Wenxi. It's really hard on him to pretend to be ignorant.
"Is Hongxi that amazing? Father wants to test you."
As soon as Yinreng finished speaking, he successfully saw a hint of mania appear in Hongxi's calm eyes.
[Oh my god, can't a person get a rest? My sister has been teaching me for an hour, and I really want to rest. I don't want to learn any more characters.]
Yinreng found it amusing, but had no intention of letting him off the hook.
He put Wenxi down, took her hand, walked to Hongxi's side, pointed to the words in the book, and asked, "What does this read?"
This was a word that Wenxi had just taught him. Seeing that Hongxi remained silent for a long time, Wenxi felt a little nervous.
She was just praising her brother for being smart, so why can't she answer the question now?
Hongxi originally wanted to play dumb, but seeing Wenxi's nervous and anxious appearance, he couldn't bear it and could only slowly say, "Hong, Hongxi's Hong."
Yinreng nodded approvingly and asked a few more questions. Seeing that Hongxi could answer them all, Wenxi's face showed a satisfied expression.
Patting his chest proudly, he said, "Father, haven't I taught you very well?"
A look of despair appeared on Hongxi's face.
Yinreng suddenly found it really interesting for these two children to be together, and instantly began to look forward to what they would be like five years from now.
Wenxi is a very responsible older sister; she always thinks about protecting and teaching her younger brother.
But this younger brother happens to be someone who has lived a second life, and he knows even more than his father.
"Father, what are you thinking about?"
Yinreng came to his senses and looked at the brother and sister with a smile. "Father was just thinking that Wenxi is so good to her brother. It would be a good thing if her brother could continue to be taught by you."
Wenxi thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said solemnly, "Father, how about your daughter teaches your younger brother his homework every day from now on? We can stop when he enters the palace school."
Let me die.
Yinreng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Father, why are you visiting my brother at this hour?"
Wenxi was not a child without a mind of her own; she knew her father and mother's daily routines very well. At this time, her father should be in the front yard, not here with her.
When it came to business, Yinreng squatted down to be at eye level with Wenxi before explaining his plan with Kangxi. Fearing that Wenxi might not understand, he explained it in detail.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing that Hongyu was to be brought into Yuqing Palace, Hongxi's reaction was even stronger than Wenxi's.
[Big brother is coming! That's great! I want to see big brother!]
"Father, can you take me with you to pick up my big brother tomorrow?"
Hongxi also stepped forward, "I'll go too."
Seeing the two children's eager expressions, Yinreng readily agreed.
So, early the next morning, Yinreng led two children dressed in very plain clothes straight to the Prince Zhi's residence.
When Yinqi saw Wenxi and Hongxi's attire, his gratitude towards the Crown Princess rose to a new level.
The two adults were talking in the study when Li Zhong led the siblings straight to the side hall.
After the death of Lady Irgen Gioro, Hongyu was arranged to live in the side hall of the front courtyard.
When Hongxi stepped across the threshold with his short legs, he saw Hongyu sitting blankly in the chair, his eyes vacant, seemingly lost in thought.
"Big brother!" Hongxi called out happily, then trudged toward Hongyu with his short legs.
Hongyu was in a daze and didn't notice anyone coming in.
When he saw Hongxi running towards him, he was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the chair and hugged the spherical object that was rushing towards him.
"Brother Hongxi, what brings you here?"
