The morning sunlight shone into the courtyard, and the princes got up early and started jogging around the villa. Yin ran in the lead, and the other princes followed him in order of their rank.
The women got up early to prepare breakfast for their families. Ever since Yin bribed the gatekeepers, their standard of living had really improved a lot.
In the Fourth Prince's courtyard, Yiken'e practiced horse stance, while Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen started jogging. Yinhe Qingyan meant that as a princess, Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen should be even more physically fit.
“Master, Little Princess has been running for half an hour. Shouldn’t we let her rest?” Su Lan asked directly, looking at Hu Tuli Fengsheng Zhalafen’s rosy face.
Qingyan walked directly down the stone steps, and Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen ran right up to Qingyan, panting heavily.
"Mother, I really want to run today. Ah Hun hasn't finished practicing yet. Should I continue too?" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen asked, looking up at her.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Exercise can't be done in one go; it has to be consistent." Qingyan took a handkerchief and wiped her daughter's sweat.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen's rosy face looked towards Yiken'e, and she was completely distraught.
"Hutulifengshengzhalafen, you take a break!" Yikene ran over directly. "I'll train hard so I can protect you guys in the future!"
Yiken'e was given excellent instructions by Yinzhen; he would shoulder all the responsibilities as the eldest son.
"Ah Hun is so great!" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen liked the feeling of her brother protecting her. Every time, Yiken'e would protect his sister.
Under the sunlight, Qingyan stood aside, watching the brother and sister smile at each other, and felt that her life was truly wonderful.
"Have you all finished practicing?" Yin walked in, covered in sweat. Su Peisheng quickly instructed Xiao Sula to prepare bath water. Yin was a very clean person and would take a bath after every morning exercise.
"Ama, you smell so bad!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen said, pinching her little nose and frowning slightly.
"You two should go take a bath too." Yin sent the twins away, took Qingyan's little hand, and walked into the bathroom together.
Inside the dining room, Qingyan changed into a lake-blue summer outfit, styled her hair in a new double bun, and adorned herself with a lotus-patterned headdress. Just now, Yin had insisted that she serve him a bath, and while she was making a fuss, she was dragged into the bathtub.
"Father, are we going to Uncle's courtyard again later?" Yiken asked.
"Go!" After having breakfast, Yin and the others would go directly to Yin's place. All the princes gathered in the study and taught the children according to their own preferences.
Yiken'e was the most direct beneficiary. He was taught by several professional teachers. In the Imperial Study, Kangxi had many great Confucian scholars tutor the princes, so the princes' studies were all very good. Yinzhen was an exception.
"Yiken'e, do you like to read in the study?" Yin asked, looking at Yiken'e.
"Of course, Songkelierha and her sister can study together!" Both Yin and Yin doted on their daughters, and their methods of raising daughters were different from those of other households.
In other mansions, when the princesses reach the age of six, they no longer study with the princes. Songkriyirha has already grown up, and logically, she should start to avoid suspicion.
"Of course, do you like it?" Yin asked directly, looking into Yiken's bright eyes.
“Father said that the princesses should read more books so that they can benefit in the future. Besides, with me here, neither Sister Songkelierha nor her younger sister will be bullied!” Yiken’e assured Yin.
Inside the dining room, the family of four were at the table, eating and talking.
“Okay, you can remember that. But when you have children, you must stick to this method of handing them over, understand?!” Yin said, looking at Yiken’e.
Yiken nodded his little head: "Of course, I will definitely listen to my father's teachings."
After breakfast, Yin changed into his everyday clothes and took the study prepared by Qingyan. He then prepared his lessons for the day, which were Yinqi's Mongolian language class. Previously, Yin had asked Qingyan to audit the class, but Qingyan found that his vocabulary of Mongolian was not enough to keep up with the pace of Yinqi's lessons, so he refused.
"Little Darling, do you want to continue listening in?" Yin returned to the inner chamber and, seeing Qingyan preparing to go to the Yin Genjue Luo clan's place, quickly asked.
Ugh!
Qingyan gave an awkward laugh: "Of course I'm not going. Wasn't it embarrassing to go last time?"
"Haha!" Yin laughed heartily. "Little darling, you need to work on your Mongolian. Do you really want me to tutor you?"
"No need!" Qingyan refused decisively.
Every time Yin tutors her, the end result is that she ends up being tutored on the bed, which is not good.
"Alright, let's hurry up and get out of here. The children must be getting impatient!" Yin quickly changed his clothes and left.
Inside the flower hall, the twins, a boy and a girl, were sitting on chairs, while Hafeng was being held by his nanny and playing around on a chair.
"Hafeng, wait a little longer!" Yiken said, tapping Hafeng's little nose.
When Hafeng saw his brother standing in front of him, he immediately stretched out his little paws and started scratching at Yiken's face.
"You brat, how did you manage to scratch your brother's face?" Qingyan walked in, saw Hafeng scratching Yiken's face, and scolded him directly.
Ahhh!
Hafeng reached out to Qingyan directly, hoping she would hug him.
"Don't talk about him. Hafeng is still young. If you say too much, this brat won't remember it!" Yin said, looking at Qingyan.
"Okay." Qingyan discovered that Yin was a person who doted on his youngest son. He was very strict with Yiken'e, but even more doting on Hafeng.
Yin glanced at Yiken'e, noticing the fleeting hurt in his eldest son's eyes, and immediately picked Yiken'e up.
"Do you think Father only dotes on his younger brother and sister?" Yin asked, looking at his eldest son.
Yiken lowered his head, listening to Yin's question, which pierced his heart.
"Yiken'e, you are the eldest son, and it is your responsibility to take care of your younger brother and sister!" Yin kissed Yiken'e's little face and said, "When you were little, your father also doted on you just like he did on Hafeng!"
Yiken felt a warmth in his heart. Yin kept reminding Yiken of the responsibilities on his shoulders, and he understood even more clearly that he could not act like Hafeng, who could act spoiled in front of his parents.
“Father…” Yiken’e snuggled into Yin’s arms in a coquettish manner.
