Chapter 142 Arrival
Yuying had no desire to pry into the conversation between Yinzhen and Zishang. She just waited for Yinzhen to return to Yongshou Palace and quietly observed Yinzhen's expression. Seeing that he did not show anything unusual, she felt relieved.
"Xiao Si is back? Come quickly, we're ready to eat." Yuying greeted Yinzhen.
Yinzhen bowed to Yuying.
The three of them then began to have dinner.
During the meal, Yinsi glanced at Yinzhen after taking a bite, and glanced at Yinzhen after taking a bite. It was obvious that he knew what had happened in Yonghe Palace that day.
Yinsi felt a little guilty. If he had followed his fourth brother today, his fourth brother would not have gone to Yonghe Palace, and he would not have known that he was not the biological son of the deceased Queen Tongjia.
Yinsi had stayed in Chengqian Palace for several years, so he naturally understood that the relationship between Yinzhen and Queen Tongjia was no worse than that between any biological mother and son.
Yinzhen naturally noticed Yinsi's secretive look, but as long as Yinsi didn't say anything, he pretended not to see it.
But it was clear that Yinsi was not a person who could hold back his words. After finishing his meal, Yinsi came to Yinzhen reluctantly and asked, "Fourth brother, are you okay?"
Yinzhen touched Yinsi's head and said, "Fourth brother is fine. I'm sorry that Xiaoba was worried."
Yinsi obviously didn't believe it, and assured Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, I will definitely go with you next time."
Yinzhen agreed: "Okay, thank you, Xiaoba."
Seeing that the two brothers had bonded enough, Yuying clapped her hands and said, "Okay, both of you come over here."
Yinzhen and Yinsi looked at Yuying at the same time.
"Xiao Si, can you tell me what you want to talk to me about now?" Yuying looked at Yinzhen.
Hearing this, Yinsi couldn't help but look at Yinzhen again, hoping that his fourth brother would not blame him for taking the initiative to bring it up to his aunt.
Yinzhen paused, then spoke hesitantly: "Aunt, I..."
Seeing Yinzhen hesitating, Yinsi wished he could speak on Yinzhen's behalf.
"Xiao Si, just say whatever you want to say."
Yinzhen looked at Yuying, "Aunt, can you help the second prince?"
"Huh? What happened to the prince?" Yuying asked puzzledly.
All things are difficult at the beginning. After saying the first sentence, the rest are not that difficult to say. Yinzhen told Yuying everything about the Yellow River like pouring beans, and only after he finished speaking did he express his thoughts.
After hearing this, Yuying thought it was something else.
Yuying stood up and walked towards the inner hall. Soon she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yinzhen, "This is the recipe for making cement. Xiaosi, please give it to the prince for me."
Yinzhen took it blankly, "Aunt..."
"You should go quickly. Didn't you say that the prince is having a headache right now?"
"Yes! Thank you, aunt!" Yinzhen clasped his fists towards Yuying. He didn't expect that Yuying would hand over such a precious recipe to him so easily.
Yuying really didn't care. If she really had to say something, it would only be to sigh that Yinzhen and the prince had a very good relationship.
Yinsi looked at Yinzhen with pride, as if to say that his aunt was such a good person.
"Then aunt, Yinzhen will take his leave."
"Go ahead."
As Yinzhen walked out, he decided to give the prescription to the prince overnight.
"Fourth brother! Wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen stopped.
Yinsi walked up to him and bumped his shoulder against Yinzhen's, "Okay, fourth brother, let's go."
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Crown Prince Yinreng has not returned to Yuqing Palace yet.
Upon learning that Kangxi would return to the palace that day, Yinreng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, shall we go back to the palace?" He Zhuer suggested. He was helpless as he watched his Highness lose so much weight in just a few days.
Yinreng raised his head from the countless memorials and said, "It's nothing, I'll take a look at it for a while." This was his first time as regent, and he hoped to do a better job and that Khan Ama would be satisfied when he returned.
After he finished speaking, he buried his head in the memorial again.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the hall.
Seeing that he could not persuade the prince, He Zhuer walked to the door and opened it a crack, "What's wrong?"
"The Fourth and Eighth Princes are here. Please ask Eunuch He to inform the Crown Prince."
He Zhuer heard this and said, "Let the two brothers wait for a moment."
He Zhuer hurried back to Yinreng.
"What's the matter?" Yinreng asked.
"Your Highness, the Fourth and Eighth Princes are here."
"Oh? What are they doing here at this hour? Please come in."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
"Second brother, the Crown Prince!" Yinzhen hurried in with Yinsi.
"Fourth brother, what do you want from me?"
"Fourth brother! I'm here to give you something." Yinzhen took out the prescription in his arms and handed it to Yinreng.
Yinreng took it nonchalantly and asked, "What is this?"
"Brother Crown Prince, this thing is called 'cement'. If you add water, stir it, and let it dry, it will become extremely hard!"
When Yinreng heard this, his eyes lit up. He was very smart, and he understood the wonderful use of this thing as soon as Yinzhen explained it.
"Great! Fourth brother, this thing really helped me a lot. I wonder who gave me this prescription?" Yinreng asked, but he already had a vague guess in his mind, after all, it was sent by Yinzhen and Yinsi together.
Sure enough, as soon as Yinzhen opened his mouth, his guess was confirmed. It was still the unique Concubine Jin of Khan Ama, the down jacket at the beginning, and the cement now.
Yinreng looked at his two brothers who had rushed over overnight, and felt a little warm in his heart. "Thank you both for making this trip. I will personally thank Concubine Jin another day."
"Then, Prince Second Brother, I will go back first." After all, their royal prince came uninvited, so it would not be convenient for him to stay in the Qianqing Palace for too long.
Yinzhen and Yinsi came and went in a hurry.
Yinreng was holding the cement recipe in his hand. Thinking that Khan Ama would return to the palace tomorrow, Yinreng suppressed the idea of summoning the ministers.
Yinreng was in a state of distress and had no intention of making a memorial at the moment. He would wait until Khan Ama returned to the palace tomorrow to make a long-term plan. Thinking of this, Yinreng turned around and called He Zhuer, "He Zhuer, let's go back to the palace."
He Zhuer naturally wanted it, "Okay, Your Highness, let's go."
After Yinreng left, the candles in the Qianqing Palace were extinguished and the entire palace was quiet, waiting for its real owner to return.
The next day, there was no need to greet anyone, and there was no sign of Kangxi getting up early to attend court, so Yuying naturally slept in bed until she woke up naturally.
Qingtao and Qingdai helped Yuying to get dressed and finish her meal. Qingtao then told Yuying that Kangxi had returned to the palace and had sent people over.
"Hmm? Didn't you say it was noon?" Did she sleep for so long? Yuying couldn't help but look at the sky outside.
The confusion on Yuying's face was so easy to understand. Qingtao shook her head and told Yuying the truth: "Your Majesty, the emperor rode back to the palace on horseback first. The army will not be able to enter the capital until around noon."
Then why did Kangxi rush back in such a hurry?
The people who stayed in the palace had already informed Kangxi of what had happened in Yonghe Palace that day.
When Kangxi found out, he was shocked and angry. He really didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous Concubine De would turn a deaf ear to his repeated warnings.
Kangxi led a group of troops and left first, leaving the rest of the army to Fuquan, Changning and Yinzhi, asking the three of them to slowly enter Beijing.
Kangxi had originally intended to go to Yuying Palace after entering the palace, but he was seen by the prince's men who had been ordered to guard the palace gate early in the morning.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."
Kangxi was sitting on a tall horse, wearing armor, and his murderous aura was unstoppable. Anyone who saw him could see that Kangxi was very unhappy because he was stopped halfway.
The young eunuch lying on the ground was trembling with fear, and he managed to gather his mind, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he has something extremely urgent to discuss with you."
Hearing the eunuch who stopped him claiming to be the crown prince, Kangxi suppressed his displeasure and asked, "Where is the crown prince now?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
"Okay, I got it."
The young eunuch retreated upon hearing this.
Kangxi stopped and thought for a while, and decided to go and see why Yinreng stopped him in such a hurry.
"Gee!" Kangxi waved his whip, and the horse under him galloped forward, bringing with it a gust of wind.
As the emperor, Kangxi was allowed to ride in the Forbidden City. But the rest of the people didn't have the courage to do so. After Kangxi left without saying a word, they all looked at each other, dismounted obediently, and led their horses to the stables.
Kangxi's mount was naturally the best. After a while, Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Along the way, many people knelt down on the palace road. Before they even had time to get up, Kangxi's shadow could no longer be seen.
However, the news that the emperor had returned to the palace spread throughout the palace like wildfire.
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De and her servants had not slept all night. Now that they heard that Kangxi had returned to the palace, they collapsed on the couch exhausted. She held Jinzhu's arm tightly with both hands, "Jinzhu, the emperor is back. How do you think he will deal with me?"
Jinzhu's arm was hurt by Defei's grab, but seeing Defei's frightened look, she didn't dare to say anything.
Kangxi got off his horse and walked straight to the study, asking as he walked, "Is the Crown Prince in the study now?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Yinreng walked out of the study. He had obviously heard the news and was paying attention to Kangxi's movements.
"Khan Ama."
Kangxi looked over when he heard the voice and was caught off guard by seeing his son whom he hadn't seen for several months. Kangxi couldn't help but look him up and down, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying with pride: "You've lost weight."
Yinreng looked up at his father, with admiration in his eyes, "Khan Ama, you have lost weight too."
"Ha ha……"
Kangxi was naturally happy to receive his son's care.
So when he was sick and missed his son and wanted to call Yinreng to his side, but had to give up the idea because of a letter from Yinreng about the Yellow River flood, the slight resentment he felt naturally dissipated.
"Well, follow me into the palace first, and tell me why you are looking for me."
When it comes to business, Yinreng's face changes expression, "Khan Ama, please follow me."
Yinreng and Kangxi entered the palace together. Yinreng handed Kangxi the cement recipe that he had been looking at all night, and said, "Khan Ama, take a look."
Kangxi read it quickly. Yuying wrote very carefully. Although Kangxi did not understand some of the names, Yuying also wrote down all the functions of cement she could think of on the paper.
When Kangxi saw the end, his eyes were surprisingly bright, just like Yinreng's last night.
But after being surprised, Kangxi couldn't help but look at it with scrutiny. Where did such a small thing that benefits the country and the people come from?
Seeing the look in Kangxi's eyes, Yinreng's radar was ringing in his heart. Before Kangxi could speak, Yinreng quickly added: "Khan Ama, this is something from Concubine Jin. She asked my fourth and eighth brothers to pass it to me."
Hearing Yuying's name, Kangxi subconsciously put away the thoughtful look in his eyes.
Yinreng told Kangxi the whole story of what happened after Yinzhen and Yinsi came over last night.
After Kangxi finished listening, his expression became complicated.
His mind raced, and he realized that the prescription in his hand was the "surprise" that Yuying had prepared for him, but he had not expected to stumble upon this flood.
Yuying was always like this, unrestrained, easily bringing out things that had never been heard of before, not afraid at all of others doubting why she had so many fantastic ideas.
Kangxi was thankful more than once that he could hear Yuying's inner voice, otherwise, given his suspicious nature, he didn't know what would have happened to Yuying.
Then Kangxi remembered the "system" that had only appeared once. Although its origin was unknown, at this moment he sincerely thanked it for giving him this magical power.
Kangxi suppressed his thoughts.
Yinreng just felt that Kangxi was silent for a long time and thought that Kangxi was thinking about how to solve the flood problem.
Sure enough, the next second, Kangxi was heard asking Liang Jiugong to notify the ministers to come to the Ganqing Palace to discuss matters.
After Liang Jiugong left, he said, "Khan Ama, I will take my leave first."
After all, Kangxi has returned, so it is natural that he should be in charge.
Kangxi looked at his polite prince, and a trace of satisfaction flashed through his heart. "Baocheng, you should stay and listen together."
He decided to teach Yinreng how to rule his subjects today and not to rely too much on Hesheli.
After all, Yinreng was the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, not the crown prince of his Hesheli family.
Yinreng was delighted to hear that Kangxi had actually kept him. After all, Kangxi had always avoided him during meetings in the past. Did this mean that Khan was very satisfied with his performance as regent and was willing to teach him more?
The ministers came in a hurry.
The door of the study in the Palace of Heavenly Purity was not opened until almost lunchtime.
A group of ministers rushed out like fish leaping out.
Yinreng still stayed in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, as Kangxi had just asked him to stay there for dinner. Yinreng looked at Kangxi with admiration, after all, those ministers who had always been difficult and critical in front of him became extremely obedient in front of Kangxi.
Kangxi had already sent someone to Yongshou Palace to call Yuying over, and while Yuying was not there yet, Kangxi quickly asked someone to fetch water for him to bathe.
He was exhausted from the journey and definitely did not look good. However, he was fine in front of his son and ministers, after all, they did not dare to say anything.
But in front of Yuying, Kangxi still cared about his image.
When Kangxi finished his bath, Yuying had not arrived yet. Kangxi could not help but ask someone to go to Yongshou Palace again.
Then he ignored Yinreng's nervous expression and opened the memorials that Yinreng had reviewed in recent days.
