Chapter 181 The Truth
After the two of them finished their meal, Qingdai led the others to take the meal away. Yuying looked back every three steps at Kangxi who followed her closely, "Your Majesty, don't you have to deal with state affairs today?" After all, they had already wasted most of the day.
But Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's all right. I can still have time to check tomorrow."
Has Kangxi made up his mind to rely on her?
"Hmm?" Yuying looked behind Kangxi as if she suddenly saw something.
Kangxi also followed Yuying's movements and looked back, but there was nothing behind him. "What is Ah Ying looking at?"
Yuying came back to her senses, and cast her gaze on Kangxi's face, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, where is Eunuch Liang? Why haven't you seen him for so long?"
Yuying looked like she was thinking, as if she was trying to recall when Liang Jiugong disappeared?
!!!
Kangxi suddenly remembered that he had asked Liang Jiugong to take his sons to the Jiujing Sanshi Hall and they had not returned yet! !
Without his order, wouldn't his group of sons still be waiting in the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall?
When Kangxi thought of this, he could no longer sit still and hurried to the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall.
"Aying, I've thought about it and I still can't slack off. I'd better go back to the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall to review the memorials. Aying, don't worry, I will come back to rest tonight!"
After Kangxi gave Yuying his instructions, he took Wei Zhu to the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall. Yuying didn't even have time to say another word and could only watch Kangxi leave.
At this time, the lights in the Nine Classics and Three Affairs Hall were brightly on.
Liang Jiugong dutifully led the people to the back of the Jiujing Sanshi Hall and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the princes, please rest here for a while. The Emperor will come later."
But Kangxi did not say the time, so Liang Jiugong had to be vague.
Since everyone had done something wrong, they naturally dared not disobey and agreed one after another.
"Yes, thank you, Eunuch Liang."
Then the wait lasted from day to night.
The youngest, Yinxiang, was only six years old. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, yawning, and found Yinzhen, tugging his sleeve, "Fourth brother, Yinxiang is sleepy."
Eighty or ninety years old, they watched Yinxiang walk towards Yinzhen in a daze.
When did the Thirteenth Brother become so close to the Fourth Brother???
The three of them looked at Yinxiang and then at Yinzhen.
Yinzhen, whose sleeve was pulled, also had no idea what was going on. He and Depin had long since broken off their relationship. He always kept his distance from people in Yonghe Palace, and even never got close to Yinxiang, who was raised by Depin. They only spoke a few words to each other in the upper study.
He also looked at Bajiushi with a confused look, indicating that he didn't know why Yinxiang wanted to find him?
The reason why Yinxiang went to find Yinzhen was actually easy to understand. First, Depin often talked about Yinzhen in front of him. Second, the most lawless people in the palace were the eighty, ninety, and ten. And because Yinzhen and Yinsi were close, Yinzhen always took extra care of these three brothers. With so much care, Yinxiang naturally noticed them.
So in the heart of little Yinxiang, he also envied the eighty or ninety who were taken care of by Yinzhen. Now he was unfamiliar with the place and was sleepy, so naturally he wanted to be close to the person he felt closest to.
Yinzhen didn't know what to do, but Yinxiang was his younger brother after all, so he couldn't just ignore him. So he had to pick up Yinxiang and put him on a chair beside him, "If you feel sleepy, take a rest here." Yinzhen turned around and told Yinsi, "Xiaoba, come and look after your thirteenth brother."
After handing Yinxiang over to Yinsi, Yinzhen walked over to Liang Jiugong and said, "Eunuch Liang, it's getting late. Can you send someone to ask when Khan Ama will come?"
Although the Crown Prince and Yinzhi were standing on their own sides without saying a word, when they saw Yinzhen speak, they all silently turned their eyes to Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong became the target of public criticism.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liang Jiugong didn't even dare to wipe the beads of cold sweat on his forehead that were about to drip into his eyes.
But Yin still felt it was not enough, and he shouted: "Yes, when will Khan Ama come? I am hungry."
Yin patted his belly. He had never been hungry. In the palace, Concubine Niu Hulu always doted on him and put him first in everything. Even now that he was in the garden and he was still young, Yinsi and Yinlu always took care of him.
"Tenth brother, didn't you eat most of the lotus cake just now? Are you still not full?"
Yinzhi on the side took over the conversation, showing a surprised look, looking at his stomach, as if surprised that his stomach could be so full.
Yin became anxious when he heard this.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I clearly shared some with my younger brothers. How can so many people be full with just one plate of pastries?" Yin raised his head like a victorious rooster.
He said that it was not over yet, and even pulled Yinzhen beside him, "Ninth brother, tell me, should I give some to my brothers as well?"
Yinzhen naturally shared the same hatred with Yin, and when he heard Yin calling him, he stood up and spoke up for Yin.
"Yes, Eunuch Liang, Khan Ama only asked us to wait for him, and he didn't say that we couldn't have meals. We can't just stay hungry if Khan Ama doesn't come, right?"
"My master is fine, but the Crown Prince and his younger brothers have these children. If they get sick from hunger, you won't be able to take care of them."
Liang Jiugong became more and more frightened.
"Yinzhen, come here." Yinzhen waved to his brother, who was born of the same mother, "Tell me, are you hungry?"
Yinzhen was flattered. After all, it was rare for his ninth brother to treat him so kindly.
He walked over obediently, raised his head and said cooperatively: "Brother Jiu, I'm hungry."
When Yinzhen heard this, he immediately turned his attention to Liang Jiugong, "Eunuch Liang, did you hear that? Yinzhen has been in poor health since he was young. If something goes wrong, what will be your punishment?"
Yinzhen also cooperated by making an uncomfortable expression. He knew from a young age that he was not liked by his ninth brother. Now that he saw his ninth brother standing up for him, he felt very happy, so naturally he did whatever Yinzhen said.
Sure enough, Yinzhen touched his head to show his appreciation.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Liang Jiugong looked at Yinreng with a pleading look.
Yinreng had just watched Yinluo Yin making things difficult for Liang Jiugong, but now that Liang Jiugong called him, he could no longer just sit there and pretend not to know what was happening.
He walked over to the front and coughed softly, "Eunuch Liang, serve the meal. If Khan Ama blames me, I will bear the responsibility."
When Liang Jiugong heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Well, I will serve the meal right away. Your Highness the Crown Prince and the other princes, please wait for a moment."
Liang Jiugong retreated quickly.
Yinzhi was dissatisfied with Liang Jiugong's attitude towards the crown prince and his other people, so he endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but mocked: "As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he can even order the eunuch Liang beside Khan Ama around."
Yinzhi was not paying attention for a moment and heard Yinzhi trying to please the prince again. He couldn't help but feel his eyebrows jump and he doubted whether his decision to stand on his eldest brother's side was really the right one.
To be honest, he didn't know why Yinzhi kept staring at the prince. The prince was the next person in power, and their Khan's attitude towards the prince was even better than that of all of them combined. Could it be that Yinzhi wanted to pull the prince down?
Although Yinzhi sometimes envied Khan's affection for the crown prince, he was just envious.
In the current situation, if one wants to dethrone the Crown Prince, it is probably only possible after Concubine Jin becomes pregnant with a prince.
But Concubine Jin is so important to everyone in the harem, so why isn’t she pregnant yet?
He could see clearly that the Crown Prince and his fourth brother were on good terms, and behind his fourth brother were his eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers, while his ninth brother had two brothers as well. Judging from his thirteenth brother's attitude just now, he was afraid that if he had to choose, he would stand on the side of the Crown Prince.
On the other hand, besides his elder brother, there is only one of him, and he could run away at any time. Yinzhi knew what kind of person he was, and he would not watch Yinzhi do something stupid and take himself with him. At most, he would persuade Yinzhi to stop doing stupid things.
Oh yes, there are still the seventh and twelfth brothers who have not taken sides. Looking at the way the two of them are following the crowd, as long as one is not stupid, he or she will know who to choose, right?
But as long as Concubine Jin gives birth to a prince, the current situation may be broken.
Yinzhi still felt a dull pain from the beating he had just received. He tried hard not to grimace, but in his heart he was thinking that this group of people were really cruel.
Then he looked at Yinzhi standing beside him, thinking with glee that maybe his elder brother was in more pain than he was.
Yinzhi had a plan in mind, and he used some force to pull Yinzhi aside.
Yinzhi realized that someone dared to pull him, and was about to shake the person off, but when he saw it was Yinzhi, he remembered that it was only Yinzhi who helped him when they fought just now, so he gave up and followed Yinzhi to the side.
The others, including Yinreng, didn't pay much attention to the two's little actions.
Yinzhi was a smart man. If he could really stop Yinzhi with just a few words, then I should thank him.
Yinreng just glanced over there and then looked away. He was busy asking a few younger princes to sit down first.
Seeing Yinzhi let him go, Yinzhi hurriedly said, "Third brother, why are you pulling me? Do you think what I said is wrong?"
Facing Yinzhi's questioning, Yinzhi cursed him in his heart as a fool with no brains.
The prince took the responsibility, which was a sign of brotherly love and respect. As the eldest brother, he would have been fine if he didn't help the prince, but he even blamed him. Didn't Khan Ama seem angry enough today?
Thinking this, Yinzhi silently moved half a step away from Yinzhi.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Noticing Yinzhi's disdainful look, Yinzhi immediately became dissatisfied and chased after him.
Yinzhi sighed, feeling that he was just being too concerned, but the other party didn't appreciate it. He said earnestly, "Brother, the prince did nothing wrong."
"Third brother! Whose side are you on?" Yinzhi immediately stood up and refused.
"Brother, calm down." Yinzhi signaled Yinzhi to be quiet. "Brother, are you still not giving up? Look at this room, how many people are willing to go against the prince?"
Yinzhi was so angry that he couldn't vent it out. When he heard Yinzhi's words, he couldn't help but look back.
Just one glance and he couldn't help jumping up again.
Except for him and Yinzhi, everyone else sat down around the prince.
You are such a black-hearted bastard, you actually won over everyone's hearts.
If Yinreng knew what he was thinking, he would feel that he was wronged. He just asked everyone to sit down, after all, the meal was going to be served, but in Yinzhi's eyes, it was his way of winning people's hearts.
Yinzhi held Yinzhi's arms tightly, his expression moved, "Good brother, you are the only one who is with me."
Yinzhi's forehead was covered with black lines, and he wanted to say that he didn't want to be with you either. Sometimes he was also surprised at Yinzhi's train of thought. His original intention was to ask him not to go against the prince, but why did Yinzhi only see what he wanted to see?
Yinzhi analyzed the current situation to Yinzhi, and fearing that Yinzhi might not understand, he deliberately spoke directly without beating around the bush.
"So you mean that I should bow down to the second brother?" Yinzhi frowned and spoke carefully.
"No way! How can I bow down to the second brother? Absolutely not!"
Before Yinzhi could even open his mouth, Yinzhi denied it three times in a row.
Yinzhi closed his eyes. He just felt that communicating with his elder brother made all his efforts to cultivate his energy over the years go in vain.
He opened his eyes again, "I'm not asking you to bow your head, that would be too deliberate. We just need to stop contradicting the prince in the future."
"Boss, think about the future, think about the fact that Empress Hui is still in the palace."
Sure enough, when Concubine Hui was mentioned, Yinzhi showed an embarrassment on his face, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."
He couldn't help but look at the prince who was so glorious among his brothers. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his heart. Why could he, Yinreng, be the prince when they were all sons of Khan Ama?
Seeing that Yinzhi was angry again, Yinzhi quickly diverted his attention, "Brother, does it hurt where you were hit just now?"
It would have been better if Yinzhi didn't say anything. As soon as he mentioned this, Yinzhi felt pain all over his body.
He bared his teeth and said, "It hurts so much, I don't know who punched me in the stomach just now."
After saying that, he couldn't help but rub the place where he was beaten just now, but he was thinking about why Khan Ama hadn't come yet. When he went back, he must make Fu Jin feel sorry for him.
"Brother, third brother, let's eat first." Yinsi, who had come over at some point, spoke.
It turned out that the meal had been prepared and all the brothers were waiting for them.
Yinzhi followed him over and felt relieved when he saw that the prince had not picked up his chopsticks, but he still snorted coldly.
Seeing that everyone was here, Yin, who had just said he was hungry, couldn't wait to start eating. Of course, he didn't forget to bring his good eighth and ninth brothers along.
The brothers were having their meal around a table, and it seemed that all the unpleasant things that happened not long ago were forgotten.
Yinreng glanced at Yinzhi who was eating hard. Although what happened today was mentioned by Concubine Jin, he actually wanted to take advantage of the situation to beat up the boss who had always been against him.
He had just let out some anger, and now thinking about it, he felt very refreshed.
Yes, the punch that Yinzhi had been thinking about just now was the result of the conspiracy by our Crown Prince.
Yinreng picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, hiding his merits and fame.
