Chapter 205 Consort Dong E, the Primary Consort of Yinzhen (12)



"I've figured it out too. I can't pull off that delicate, swaying pose, so I'll just have to fight back when faced with a stronger opponent!"

Sherry gave her a thumbs up!

The two of them happily rode down the mountain in a sedan chair.

When they returned to the estate, Yin Tang arranged for someone to take Yin Zhen down to bathe and change clothes.

Then, grilled fish, vegetables for hot pot, various grilled lamb chops, grilled lamb skewers, and various small desserts made by Shirley's personally trained dessert master, Chef Ling Shi.

They didn't care about such things; they simply sat together and ate under the open roof of the thatched hut.

Yinzhen was quite happy and ate well.

During the meal, the topic of Yinzhi was mentioned seemingly unintentionally.

When the topic of the Eighth Prince came up, both Yinzhen and Yinzhen's faces scrunched up like steamed buns.

"Hey! I don't know what's wrong with Eighth Brother, he's ignoring me! I didn't do anything to him!" Yin Tang said, feeling a little aggrieved.

He tried to contact the myna bird several times, but the myna bird kept making excuses and remained silent when he met it.

He borrowed so much money from him and he didn't complain at all, and the myna bird even gave him a perfunctory response.

Yin Tang pouted, looking aggrieved, and remained silent.

Once Yinzhen had a drink, he would start talking non-stop.

"Oh, who knows! He used to be such a dashing young man, but now, he's probably meditating in silence!"

Yinzhen was somewhat surprised!

His people did mention that Lao Ba had been seeking out skilled doctors, but in the end, they couldn't find out what was wrong with him.

However, in the imperial court, it was heard that the Eighth Prince had lost his voice and could not speak, but he was able to avoid the Ninth and Tenth Princes, which indicated that there were other problems.

They racked their brains for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong with Lao Ba.

It was only after a few days of the grand court assembly that they learned that the Eighth Prince had a sore throat.

His voice changed, becoming rough and unpleasant to the ear.

The voice didn't match the face at all!

But there was nothing Yinzhi could do about it. His voice grew thinner and thinner each day, and his skin became more delicate than a woman's.

He, a prince, couldn't very well be known as a eunuch.

So I simply ruined my voice and then gradually tried to get it treated.

Yinzhi: No destruction, no construction!

He just didn't expect that his recovery wouldn't affect the medicine's effectiveness! He would become the second person to be taciturn.

However, it is also true that I have become distant from Lao Jiu and Lao Ba these days.

Hearing that the fourth, ninth, and tenth brothers were going out to play together, he became restless.

Thinking about how to repair the relationship.

Emperor Kangxi was quite satisfied with them!

He hoped that his sons would be friendly and respectful to each other.

Yinzhen personally prepared a grilled fish to honor Emperor Kangxi and Consort Yi.

Emperor Kangxi also bestowed great rewards upon them.

Yinzhen's pastry shop, grilled fish restaurant, and barbecue restaurant also opened.

Of course, he also set up a charity, donating money and goods himself, and even persuading wealthy businessmen to donate as well.

Then they begged Emperor Kangxi to write a letter of reward and send it to the wealthy merchants who had made contributions.

Believe it or not, Emperor Kangxi's personal letters were in such high demand that they couldn't keep up with demand! For wealthy merchants who lacked connections, that letter of reward was enough to get them to open ancestral halls.

With the future in mind, Sydney also founded a technical college.

This includes carpentry, textiles, medicine, and chemical formulations.

After all, some of the talents that Yinzhen had recruited had already produced glass.

Yin Tang always remembered that if there was anything precious, he should tell his father, the Emperor, first!

His father, the Emperor, will protect him; after all, everyone wants a golden goose that lays eggs.

Yinzhen had a good relationship with his brothers. He was truly loyal, but when it came to money, no one could get any money out of his pocket.

Some ministers suggested that since the Ninth Prince had earned a lot, he should be the one to pay for military expenses.

Kangxi rejected their suggestion.

Yinzhen was somewhat unhappy, but he still managed to get Kangxi to join the investment.

Emperor Kangxi chuckled, but he couldn't be stingy.

Yin Tang was separately granted the title of Dorobele.

Historically, Emperor Kangxi first conferred titles upon his sons in the thirty-seventh year of his reign (1698), up to the time of Yin Tang.

He was 15 years old at the time, but because he was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, he was not involved in the investiture ceremony!

The second investiture by Emperor Kangxi took place in the 48th year of his reign (1709). When Emperor Kangxi reinstated Yinreng as Crown Prince, he again conferred titles upon the princes.

At that time, the seventh and tenth princes were both princes of the county, while the ninth prince and his younger brothers were enfeoffed as princes of the second rank.

They're not even a prince. You don't realize it until you compare them, and the more you compare, the more awkward it becomes.

Thankfully, it didn't affect the brotherhood between the ninth and tenth brothers.

However, at this moment, with Xue Li watching over him, Yin Tang neither extorted money nor knew how to be filial to Kangxi.

And so it became increasingly appealing to Emperor Kangxi.

At least they made a profit, but the civilians rushed to the front lines of disaster relief. Who dares to say that the Ninth Prince was wrong?!

Emperor Kangxi had no objections to this investiture of his court officials.

Consort Yi was always full of energy and radiant.

A month later, Sherry became pregnant.

Yinzhen was so happy that he danced with joy, and Xue Li asked him to give the child prenatal education.

It's because he's been talking too much lately, and Sherry is a little sleepy because she's pregnant.

However, Yinzhen found it particularly reasonable. He didn't even have this much enthusiasm when studying in the Imperial Study. Now, he was reading with great expression, playing several roles and even singing a few lines from time to time.

Some of the storybooks I read even had their own voiceovers.

Sherry was so amused by him that she laughed every day, clutching her stomach.

Of course, she was happy to play instruments with him, and Yinzhen became even more affectionate with Xue Li.

When he was little, he would hum tunes, but his mother would say he was good for nothing and wouldn't let him sing!

He doesn't usually dare to sing it.

He was so happy playing with Shirley right now! He felt that Shirley was a wonderful gift from God!

The Eighth Prince did come looking for Yinzhen several more times.

Yin Tang went once or twice, but he didn't go any more than that.

After all, he's about to become a father, and he doesn't even have time to deal with the tenth prince, let alone him.

Of course, this was intentional on the part of the tenth prince, Yinzhen.

After all, when he went out to play with the tenth prince, his wife wouldn't be idle either.

He took the Tenth Prince's wife on a trip all over the capital.

The key issue is that he always felt that the tenth prince's wife was after his beautiful wife.

It was one thing to send jewelry and materials every now and then, but they also sent cattle, sheep, and horses quite often.

Sherry is always very happy when she receives the gift; she always arranges for someone to cook something delicious for her.

A portion will definitely be prepared for Flana.

As for other gifts, high-end and exquisite soaps will be given to each of the sisters-in-law; it's never wrong to give many gifts!

But her sisters-in-law, probably out of kindness, brought her gifts when they came to visit.

After a while, they actually got along quite well!

Sherry arranged for the palace servants and eunuchs she had previously selected from the horse farm to rehearse and perform a play.

It was entirely her own taste! As for those stories about poor scholars scheming over two women fighting over one man, or noble ladies from wealthy families eloping with poor scholars, Shirley had no interest in watching them.

Watching that is not as good as watching a fight between fairies!

Of course, not only his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, but even the Yinzhen brothers loved to read novel books!

Yin Tang even specially arranged a professional opera troupe and built a grand stage.

The unique opera performance became an instant hit, attracting a constant stream of customers every day.

Yinzhen would count the silver notes every day, then hand them to Xue Li with a beaming smile.
