After dealing with the matter concerning Yinzhen and the Wei family, Yinreng finally got a few days of rest.
When He Yuzhu was ordered to bring Hongxi over, he saw Yinreng playing with a small wooden horse that had been prepared in advance. When he saw Hongxi arrive, he put him on the small horse and coaxed him.
"Hongxi, do you like horseback riding?"
Ahhhhh... I love it, I love horseback riding!
If Hongxi didn't still have a baby voice, Yinreng would be driven half to death by his voice.
“Your Majesty handled the Wei family matter very well, and the fourth prince also managed to extricate himself from this troublesome affair.”
Fourth Uncle is the best; he's the most upright and incorruptible.
Yinreng was also very curious as to why his son liked the fourth prince so much.
Although he had a good impression of every uncle and elder brother and was happy to meet everyone, he could still sense that his favorite was the fourth brother.
[Father, that Niohuru woman in your backyard is such a nuisance, full of wicked schemes. You should have given her to Eighth Uncle in the first place, so Eighth Aunt could have dealt with her properly.]
Yinreng raised an eyebrow. What had Niohuru done this time to make his son dislike her so much?
"Your Highness, this servant just saw Baizhi meet with Cuiliu, who serves Consort Wenxi. I don't know what they said, but her expression seemed to be one of complaint."
Yinreng sneered.
They were family after all. Even though one was the emperor's concubine and the other was the crown prince's princess, they didn't know how to avoid danger.
It is unknown whether Faka is aware of this matter.
[I almost forgot, she still has an aunt in the palace. Unfortunately, Consort Wenxi isn't foolish enough to help Niohuru clan with their reckless actions.]
Yinreng was somewhat surprised.
Consort Wenxi was Yuhe's aunt, and her current status in the harem was inseparable from the support of the Niohuru family.
Could it be that she really won't help Yuhe cause trouble?
Consort Wenxi may seem innocent and cute, but she's actually quite clever and wouldn't let anyone implicate her tenth uncle.
When his tenth uncle was mentioned, Hongxi twisted his body.
When are you going to Mongolia? I really want to see Uncle Shi's wife.
Yinreng's mind was in a mess; too much information was flooding in at once.
Niohuru Yuhe would seek support from Consort Wenxi, but he would likely be rejected.
The tenth prince's wife might be a noblewoman from Mongolia.
That's unlikely.
Consort Wenxi doted on the tenth prince like the apple of her eye; how could she possibly allow him to marry a Mongolian princess, as that would completely jeopardize his chances of becoming the emperor?
Although he felt quite secure in his position as crown prince, his brothers were all around the same age, and there was no guarantee that nothing unexpected might happen.
Yin'e was the most prestigious prince besides himself.
If something happens to him, even the eldest brother might not be a match for the tenth brother.
Yinreng couldn't understand what kind of fate had led his tenth son to marry a Mongolian princess.
Why does my father always look so thoughtful? I wonder what he's thinking about.
Upon hearing his son's complaint, Yinreng quickly snapped out of his thoughts, picked up Hongxi, and strolled outside.
As they walked, he didn't forget to ask He Yuzhu, "How's Lao Shi's leg lately?"
"I heard that Consort Wenxi sent a lot of ointments, and the Niohuru family also sent a lot of good things, so it's probably nothing serious."
Yes, it's been so long, it should be healed by now.
If something were really wrong, word would have spread long ago.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Baizhi. If she does anything out of line, deal with her. I don't want the women in my harem to have too much involvement with Father Emperor's concubines."
He Yuzhu accepted the order and left.
[Father is so cool! He actually managed to deal with the Niohuru clan in advance. He's much smarter than in his previous life.]
Yinreng always felt that his son's complaint contained a hint of disdain for him.
Time flies when the seasons change.
Autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Hongxi can now climb around quickly and occasionally even take a few steps.
Guarjia truly cherished Hongxi, spending time playing with him almost every day, and even three-year-old Wenxi helped take care of her younger brother.
"Mother, my little brother is so fair and chubby, he's so handsome!"
Wenxi was extremely fond of the chubby little boy crawling on the ground.
【You're the one who's both fair-skinned and chubby, is that even polite of you?】
"Mommy, when can my little brother play with me?"
Guarjia watched the two children play and, upon hearing her beloved daughter's question, smiled and said, "In another year, you'll be able to play together. However, your younger brother is still a bit smaller, so you two might not be able to play together."
When Hongxi was a little over one year old, he was curious about everything. By then, Wenxi was already four years old, so it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't find her younger brother annoying.
Wenxi denied it, saying, "I like my younger brother, and I will take him with me no matter what I do in the future."
Why does Wenxi like her younger brother so much?
A pleasant and cheerful voice rang out, and the group looked in the direction of the sound to see Yinreng walking in with his hands behind his back.
The moment he stepped into the palace, Wenxi rushed forward and grabbed his leg.
“Where have you been lately, Father? I haven’t seen you in Wenxi for so long.”
Wenxi was a child who knew how to act cute, and her grumbling immediately aroused Yinreng's fatherly love.
Yinreng picked up Wenxi and carried her inside, explaining, "Father and Fourth Uncle went out on business, and Father also misses Wenxi."
[I'm curious, what kind of errands require Father and Fourth Uncle to handle together?]
Yinreng glanced at Hongxi, who was sitting on the ground looking thoughtful, seemingly unintentionally. "A group calling themselves the White Lotus Sect has been discovered outside the city. It is said that they have grown to tens of thousands of followers in just two years."
