Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Yinzhi began to tell her about what had happened that day.
"Today, the master met his brother-in-law outside the palace. He brought his three sons out, and they had a meal together."
Yinzhi looked disdainful.
"He's getting all cocky. So what if he's given birth to three legitimate sons? His wife is pregnant with another prince, so he can also give birth to three legitimate sons."
If Uncle Yigenjueluo were here, he would definitely cry foul, saying it was just a coincidence that he invited Yinzhi to dinner. He wasn't showing off; he was just someone he brought along for a meal.
(。-`ω′-)
He Zhuo found this kind of old man quite adorable; he was clearly envious of his brother-in-law having three legitimate sons in a row, but he deliberately put on a disdainful act.
"That shop makes really good layered pastries. I brought some back with me. One box is for Mother, and one box is for you."
Yinzhi chuckled at the thought. His brother-in-law even wanted to bring rose cakes for his wife, saying that she loved them when she was little and that the prince had rewarded him with a Liu Bajin cake.
"Yes, and also rose cake from Manfuji."
"How did you know, my lord, that I like their rose cakes?"
He Zhuo was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood. It was probably his older brother who said it. His older brother was a responsible and good older brother who often brought snacks for his younger siblings and knew their preferences.
"That's right, who am I?"
If Yinzhi had a tail, it would be wagging happily right now.
The brother-in-law is still trying to steal the princess's attention; the thing is probably already in Liu Bajin's belly. ＜(?????)
He Zhuo had already guessed that it was his elder brother who said it, but he didn't say it out loud.
However, He Zhuo did not expect that Yin Zhi would give a portion of the snacks that his elder brother had brought to a servant.
Yinzhi knew that it was his brother-in-law who carried his wife to the bridal sedan chair. His wife usually praised her brother-in-law a lot. Humph! So what if he passed the imperial examination at the age of 23!
It's nothing special. I'm still killing hundreds of enemies on the battlefield!
Don't try to hide it, Baoqing. You're just jealous of her. Her older brother is both scholarly and athletic.
You're just a bit better at martial arts. Your wife always talks about how much she admires your elder brother, she's probably jealous.
In fact, Yinzhi was quite popular among the princes, and everyone admired their highly skilled martial arts master.
Under the intense pressure of the academically gifted Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhi's academic performance was not bad. However, with the academically gifted Crown Prince and the literary-minded third son, he paled in comparison. Yinzhi himself was not very interested in academic subjects, which only made him more indulgent. In fact, with a little effort, Yinzhi could have passed the county-level imperial examination.
It can be said that Kangxi's first ten princes were overshadowed by the Crown Prince in the Imperial Study. The most painful thing about going to school is that you are not bad at studying, but you become very ordinary because there is a god-like academic genius.
In fact, each of these princes was a man of both literary and martial talents. The third prince, who was good at literature, was also quite skilled in horsemanship.
Although Yinzhi rested in the main courtyard that day, he soon favored both of his new concubines.
From today's perspective, he's a complete scumbag, which is actually quite normal, and Zhuo didn't react much.
Yinzhi was an exceptionally good husband and father in that era, and his primary wife was the envy of everyone. In those times, a good husband was one who visited his primary wife's courtyard on the first and fifteenth of each month, and whose household management was in her hands.
Now, the Third Prince's wife has become a blessed consort of the prince, because the Third Prince has been staying with her for two consecutive months. Since the Third Prince's wife entered the household, the Third Prince has spent most of his time there. The two are a model of harmonious and loving marriage.
When accompanying Emperor Kangxi to the garden for summer retreat, there was no need to bring a large group of people, as the emperor's grandsons and granddaughters would certainly be present.
Consort Hui truly understood her son's preferences. The two men, Cao and Dong, had been serving him for five consecutive days. In the First Prince's residence, apart from the Fujin (Prince's wife), no one else could serve him for three consecutive days.
Among the ordinary concubines and maids in the inner palace, it was always the twins' biological mother, Lady Fan, who served them the most. Now, even Lady Fan has been relegated to a lesser position.
