Chapter 105 Closeness
After Tong Jia finished speaking, she became angrier the more she thought about it, so she stopped.
The group stopped moving forward because of Tong Jia's actions.
Tong Jia turned around and glared at Yinsi who was happily held in the arms of the nanny. Yinsi was very happy because he had been with Yuying for a long time. He was not angry when being glared at, and even smiled foolishly at Tong Jia.
Tong Jia paused, and the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated.
Forget it, why is she putting the blame on a child?
She took off the armor on her hands, revealing her well-maintained fingers as green as green onions. She raised her hands and pinched Yinsi's face, feeling that it was relatively rounder than at the beginning. She said with a disappointed tone, "Do you like Concubine Jin so much?"
Yinzhen, who was standing by, had been silently enduring all this time. When he heard his mother say the same thing, he also stepped forward and pinched the other half of Yinsi's face, saying indignantly, "Fourth brother is so good to you, but you just forget about him the moment you turn around."
Yinsi's face was pinched. He endured it for a while, but when he saw that the two men had no intention of moving their hands away, he decided to make a scene!
He flapped his hands and leaned back, trying to save his face from the mother and son.
Seeing Yinsi's resistance, Tong Jia teased the child for a while, was no longer angry, and let go with a smile.
Yinzhen did not let Yinsi off so easily.
After Tong Jia was released, Yinzhen stretched out his other hand to take Tong Jia's place, and said fiercely: "Fourth brother is the one closest to you! Don't forget fourth brother next time! Xiao Ba, do you understand?"
At this time, Yinzhen's petty nature had already begun to show.
Although Yinsi is now well taken care of by the Tonggiya family, he has not been valued by Concubine Hui for a long time.
So, he was forced into a corner and still stumbled when speaking, "Xiao Ba...no...don't!"
Yinzhen was really pissed off by Yinsi, and used some force to torment Yinsi's little face until Yinsi's face turned red, and then stopped, "See if you dare to forget about Fourth Brother!"
However, Tong Jia, who was standing aside, frowned slightly because of Yinsi's words. How come Xiaoba is already four years old, but he still speaks word by word?
So, she turned around and told Zishang, "If I forget when we get back later, please remind me to ask a doctor to take a look at Xiao Ba. Is it really okay for Xiao Ba to keep talking like this?"
"Yes, madam."
Zichang knew that apart from the emperor, her queen cared most about these two princes. The Eighth Prince's current behavior was indeed not quite right, so she kept this matter firmly in mind.
Yinzhen was unaware of Tong Jia's worries, and was still trying to get Yinsi to admit that he was Yinsi's favorite person.
"Xiao Ba, Fourth Brother wants to ask you, who is your favorite person?"
"Yes... Aunt."
"No! Xiao Ba follows Fourth Brother and learns, 'Xiao Ba likes Fourth Brother the most!'"
"Xiao Ba...likes...aunt."
…
Unexpectedly, although Yinsi was small in stature, he had a stubborn temper. Even though Yinzhen had said it countless times, he just refused to give in. Yinzhen was disappointed.
"You are such a heartless kid. I'm so sorry that my fourth brother comes to see you every day after finishing his studies."
The Crown Prince Yinreng had the same feeling as Yinzhen.
In Taoyuan Book House, Yinreng put down the book in his hand and asked He Zhuer who was waiting beside him, "Is my fourth brother still not here today?"
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince finished his study today and went to see the Imperial Concubine. I'm afraid he won't come today."
Only He Zhuer knew that the prince asked similar questions every day. He carefully observed the prince's expression while answering. Seeing that the prince seemed to sigh, he quickly added: "Your Highness, the Royal Concubine is not feeling well, so it is reasonable for the Fourth Prince to care more about her."
Yes, in order to hide the fact that he was obsessed with playing with his younger brother, Yinzhen used Tonggiya as an excuse.
Yinreng didn't say anything else, picked up the book and started reading again.
He Zhuer, who was standing aside, looked at his master and prayed in his heart: I hope the Imperial Concubine gets better soon, so that the Fourth Prince can come and accompany their Crown Prince every day.
Yinreng was not in a very good mood.
He was the second in order of seniority among Kangxi's sons. He did not get along with Yinzhi, the eldest son in front of him, and his third brother was closer to his eldest brother because they lived together outside the palace when they were young. His fifth brother was raised by the Empress Dowager and never interacted with them, and the younger brothers behind him were too young to live with them.
Only the fourth brother would obediently call him the Crown Prince and stand behind him when he and Yinzhi had a conflict.
It was rare for him to feel the brotherly love and respect from his fourth brother, so he naturally cherished it very much. Therefore, he had become accustomed to returning to Taoyuan Book House after school every day to give lessons to his fourth brother.
Now that his fourth brother hasn't come for a long time, he can't help but worry about the Imperial Concubine's health and whether she is really not well.
Otherwise it really couldn't explain why the fourth brother was always in a hurry after school every day, leaving him no time to speak a word.
As for the fourth brother that Yinzhi mentioned, does this mean he doesn’t want to play with him?
impossible!
That reckless man Yinzhi must be trying to sow discord between him and his fourth brother!
Thinking of this, Yinreng could no longer sit still.
Could it be that Fourth Brother really doesn’t want to be with me anymore?
He quickly ordered He Zhuer: "Send the gift to the Imperial Concubine for me and ask her if she is feeling better."
"Well, I'll do it right away."
The people around the prince moved quickly. Soon the food was ready and delivered to Tong Jia.
"You said this was sent by the prince? He also asked if I was feeling better?" Tong Jia looked at the strange little eunuch in front of her with doubt in her tone.
Is this really not someone's prank?
This thought flashed through Tong Jia's mind. But surely no one would be so bold as to act in the name of the crown prince?
Could it be that this was really sent by the prince? Why would the prince send her something for no reason?
Tong Jia was immersed in her thoughts and did not notice that Yinzhen's body had become stiff.
At this moment, Yinzhen was already panicking, and his mind was filled with the thought: It’s all over, it’s all over.
The lies I told are about to be exposed.
How did the second prince find my mother here? Is it because I haven't been to Taoyuan Book House for too long?
"Your Majesty, it was indeed sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The young eunuch replied respectfully.
Tong Jia suppressed the doubt in her eyes and said, "Then thank you for your concern, Prince. I am now in good health."
After hearing what Tong Jia said, the young eunuch continued, "Then I guess the Fourth Prince can keep the appointment tomorrow, right?"
Um?
Tong Jia became more and more confused. What on earth was the prince talking about?
Why is Yinzhen involved here?
His eyes moved between Yinzhen and the young eunuch.
Although Tong Jia was completely confused and wanted to find out the truth right away, she still patiently sent the young eunuch away.
