Qianqing Palace

"Khan Ama, when are you going to receive the envoys from the three countries?"

When Yinreng and Yinqi went to pick them up, Yinxiang was in the imperial study asking Kangxi when he would receive the envoys.

By the way, I'd like to find out whether my father-in-law has any idea of ​​delaying his retirement.

Kangxi glanced at him and said with a smile: "See you tomorrow, and retire on time."

In just one sentence, he answered Yinxiang's two questions.

The prince's face suddenly became depressed, "Are you really going to retire on time?"

He thought that with the presence of the envoys from the three countries, Khan Ama would postpone his abdication plan, but it turned out that he was planning to let the envoys from the three countries participate in the power change in the Qing Dynasty.

"Thirteen," Kangxi smiled and rubbed Yinxiang's head, teaching him in a doting manner, "You should know that our rule since ancient times is not to change our plans easily for others, let alone a group of foreigners."

Even if Louis XIV and other kings came to the Qing Dynasty in person, they could not change his decision to abdicate and become the emperor.

So, "Give up."

These few words completely shattered Yinxiang's idea of ​​remaining the crown prince for a few more months.

Alas, he is destined to reach the peak of his life.

Yinxiang sighed a little, and quickly regained his spirits. His expression changed so fast that he could turn the pages of a book faster than he did. "Well, Khan, I will go and arrange for you to meet the envoy tomorrow. You should also get up and move around. Don't lie down and read the storybook like your second brother did."

Sometimes, Yinxiang was really impressed by his Khan Father. If there was any electronic product, his Khan Father would lie down and play with it for a whole day. Except for eating and sleeping, he would not move at other times.

"I know, I know. Stop talking about me like an old man. Go talk about your second brother instead."

Waving his hands lazily, Kangxi immorally shifted the attention of his thirteenth son to his second son. You can blame anyone else, but don't blame him.

"Hmph, Second Brother is working with Fifth Brother now, unlike you..." Yinxiang snorted coldly and didn't bother to say anything more.

"Anyway, you should move around a bit, or your bones will become brittle." After leaving such a treasonous and sarcastic remark, Yinxiang ran away.

Kangxi was left alone, lost in thought, "Are your bones brittle?"

He shouldn't be that age, right?

Unable to help pinching his wrist bones, Kangxi paused, slowly stood up, and began to pace back and forth in the imperial study.

Although he felt that he would not reach that point, but what if?

So it’s better to lie down less and move more. It always does good.

Otherwise, if his bones were really brittle, how could he travel around the world!

Kangxi sighed and began his walking journey.

On the other hand, Yinxiang did not return to Yuqing Palace after leaving, but went straight out of the palace and went to the Ministry of Rites to find Yinzhi.

It happened that Yinreng and Yinqi were also there, so he discussed with them the arrangements for receiving the envoys tomorrow.

"Third brother, the foreign envoys on this mission are different in status from those in the past. You still need to be more careful about the rules."

In the past, there were many foreigners who represented their countries on diplomatic missions to the Qing Dynasty, but they were missionaries and their status could not be compared with that of royal aristocrats like Prince Nongka.

According to Prince Gong Changning, these three princes and dukes have close relations with the kings of their respective countries and are considered to be the most trusted ministers. So the rules of reception would naturally have to change accordingly.

"I know. Let Fifth Brother lead them into the palace tomorrow. Will Second Brother go with Fifth Brother, or will he go directly with Thirteenth Brother to serve Khan Ama?"

Yinzhi asked, the envoys will be received in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow. If his second brother does not want to make an extra trip to the reception hall, then the Minister of Rites and his fifth brother can go together to lead the envoys.

He asked this question many times because he knew his second brother well, and he was definitely someone who didn't want to run around all the time.

Yinreng's answer was not surprising. He said, "You know me. I will not move if I can."

Not only did he not want to go with his fifth brother to welcome the envoy, he was not planning to stay at his fourth brother's house today. He wanted to stay directly in the palace to avoid having to go to the palace to attend court early in the morning tomorrow.

Yinzhi and Yinxiang had nothing to say about this. They could only cover their faces and sigh, "I knew it."

"Okay then, I'll let the Minister of Rites go with my fifth brother. I just don't know if the foreigners can get up to attend the court meeting so early."

While talking about serious matters, Yinzhi couldn't help but have some jumping thoughts.

"They should be able to get up. Their hours are different from ours."

Yinreng thought that even if he was suffering from jet lag, it would take him a while to recover. Otherwise, he and his fifth brother would not have come directly to the Ministry of Rites at this time. It was because the envoys were all tired and went to rest.

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes."

After marking the book in his hand, Yinzhi stopped talking about these things and turned to Yinxiang and said, "So, are you going to look for your fourth brother, or go back to the palace directly?"

Yinxiang didn't even bother to raise his head and said bluntly: "Do you even need to ask this?"

If he didn't look for his fourth brother, he wouldn't leave the palace. Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell people to do things?

Yinreng smiled and put his arm around Yinxiang's shoulders, and said to Yinzhi who seemed to be choking, "Why do you always ask irrelevant questions? If you don't do the business first, my thirteenth brother and I are both in the Ministry of Revenue right now, so how can we be in the Ministry of Rites?"

It must be that there is an important matter pending ahead, otherwise, they would go straight to the Ministry of Revenue!

Yinzhi was choked up and couldn't help but roll his eyes at each of them. He didn't want to talk to them anymore. He just smiled at Yinqi beside him and asked, "What about you, fifth brother? Do you have anything else to do?"

This smile was very polite, but unfortunately it frightened Yinqi. He shook his head repeatedly and said with a stammer: "No, no, Third Brother, I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"

After saying hello to Yinreng and Yinxiang, he ran away directly, refusing with all his heart to join the battlefield.

"See, you scared my fifth brother away." If he didn't cause any trouble for a day, Yinreng would feel bored and anxious.

Yinzhi clenched his fists, looked into Yinreng and Yinxiang's bright eyes, laughed, pointed at the door of the Ministry of Rites and said, "Both of you get out of here!"

Just get as far away as possible so that he won’t be annoyed all the time.

Yinzhi, who is often the one who gets angry, is always angered by his two brothers Yinreng and Yinxiang. One can only say, how can this not be considered love?

"Third brother, don't be angry. At worst, you can just come with us." Yinxiang was afraid that Yinzhi would be too angry, so he said another sentence with an innocent look on his face.

Yinzhi stopped talking now. He took action and pushed the two unruly brothers towards the entrance of the Ministry of Rites. "Get out of here! If you don't get out of here, I'll chase you away with a broom!"
