That day, Yinzhi returned to the princes' quarters in a huff, looking extremely angry.
"Just because he's the Crown Prince, does that make him so great? I really want Father Emperor to see what kind of face the Crown Prince has in front of his brothers."
"How hateful! In Father Emperor's eyes, who else is there besides the Crown Prince? They are all Father Emperor's sons. Can't he see us?"
This statement was somewhat malicious. In Khoja's view, besides the Crown Prince, Kangxi's favorite son was his eldest son, Yinzhi.
However, everything is subject to comparison. Compared to the Crown Prince, he became utterly worthless.
Upon returning to the prince's residence, Yinzhi launched into a long tirade of complaints.
Before he could even sit down properly, the chief eunuch Zhou Fugui came to report that the Eighth Prince had arrived, and Hezhuo hurriedly ordered people to welcome him in.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Upon entering, he immediately bowed. The Eighth Prince, as expected of the future Eighth Prince, was impeccably courteous. Although he was only 11 years old (by Chinese reckoning), he acted like a little adult. He had inherited the appearance of his birth mother, Lady Wei, and was already a handsome young gentleman.
Upon returning to the princes' quarters, Yinzhi launched into a long tirade of complaints, ignoring Hezhuo.
He Zhuo could only ask the Eighth Prince, "Eighth Brother, what's wrong with you today? What happened in the Imperial Study? Can you tell your sister-in-law?"
He Zhuo personally served the Eighth Prince a plate of snacks.
"Thank you, Eighth Sister-in-law."
Yinzhi bowed to Hezhuo again, but Hezhuo stopped him. A polite child never evokes any dislike.
When Yinzhi heard his sister-in-law's words,
He didn't answer immediately, but looked at his elder brother's expression. Seeing that his elder brother didn't object, he hesitated for a moment. He thought that his elder brother and sister-in-law were usually very close. After his sister-in-law married into the family, his elder brother and mother Hui treated him more seriously than before. He was grateful to his sister-in-law.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a moment, the Eighth Prince told the First Princess Consort about what had happened that day.
After hearing what Yinzhi said, Hezhuo comforted him, "Eighth brother, you should go back to the princes' quarters first. Your eldest brother was just acting on impulse."
Today, Yinzhi and the Crown Prince almost got into a fight, but the Grand Tutor and his brothers intervened and stopped them.
The incident stemmed from yesterday's practice of horseback archery by the princes. Kangxi praised Yinzhi for his good performance but did not praise the Crown Prince.
This then displeased the Crown Prince.
Emperor Kangxi actually praised the Crown Prince when he was in the Imperial Study.
Because of his capture, Yinzhi worked exceptionally hard during this period, studying diligently and practicing archery with great fervor.
It was alright when they were in the Imperial Study. No matter how hard Yinzhi, a poor student, worked, he wouldn't catch up immediately. Besides, Yinzhi wasn't particularly talented in studying, so no matter what, he couldn't compare to the Crown Prince, a top student.
The afternoon's archery and horsemanship class was Yinzhi's show. The Crown Prince couldn't beat him in any way, which annoyed him. Kangxi's praise became the fuse.
After receiving another round of applause that day,
The Crown Prince found an opportunity to provoke him: "What's the use of being good at riding and archery? You still have to slink back to class with your tail between your legs." At this point, Yinzhi was already a little annoyed, but he still held his temper and didn't want to get entangled with the Crown Prince who was in the midst of his glory.
Little did he know that the Crown Prince's next words would ignite Yinzhi's fury: "You only came back to continue your studies because you're useless, right? Just keep giving birth to princesses and contribute to the peace between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia. You, oh? ---- and there's also a baby who I don't know if he can even stand up."
The Crown Prince was mocking Yinzhi for having only children who were a financial burden and were only good for marriage alliances. He was also implying that Yinzhi's eldest son might not even survive.
How could the father, who had such a loving heart for his children, Xiao Zhenbao and Xiao Ping'an, bear it?
Yinzhi threw a punch, and the two started shoving each other.
The Grand Tutor and the princes arrived just in time. Apart from the Crown Prince getting a slap on the eye, Yinzhi wasn't even scratched; he was just a little disheveled.
After being pulled away, Yinzhi felt annoyed.
He simply greeted the Grand Tutor and returned.
