March 18th, Longevity Day

The emperor's birthday must be celebrated with great fanfare.

Empress Tong Jia was fully aware of the significance of this Longevity Festival, and she did not dare to slack off when organizing the banquet, for fear of making the slightest mistake. She even ordered Concubine Nianhulu and Concubine Min to assist her, and everyone in the palace worked hard.

This year's Wanshou Festival was held with extra grandness due to various special factors.

The entire capital city was decorated with lights and there was singing and dancing, and it was extremely lively.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a banquet was entertained for all officials, vassal states came to pay their respects, and foreign envoys presented gifts.

The sound of wind instruments continued slowly, there were songs and dances on the stage, ministers celebrated the birthday below the stage, officials presented gifts and sang page after page of scrolls, and the dazzling array of treasures looked even more dazzling under the candlelight, which was amazing.

After drinking for more than thirty minutes, Emperor Kangxi, who was sitting at the top of the table, directly called Crown Prince Yinxiang to come forward, toasted three cups, and then pulled Yinxiang to sit next to him.

This happened so smoothly that it did not attract anyone's attention for a while.

Just by chance, they glanced upwards and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting on the dragon throne, and all the ministers were speechless.

How can this ...

Can this really happen?

All the civil and military officials in the court hesitated and dared not speak.

But the foreign envoys had something to say. They were not officials of the Qing Dynasty, but their own countries also had kings, and they had never seen any prince sitting on the same seat with the king.

So the three of them sighed: "Your Qing emperor and prince have a great relationship!"

The minister who heard this sigh didn't dare to say a word.

No matter how good the relationship is, there is no such thing as letting the crown prince sit on the dragon throne in public. This is the first time they have seen this!

The minister was full of complaints, but seeing the envoy's admiring eyes, he could only hold back his words and echoed: "Yes, our emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have such a good relationship..."

Otherwise, would he dare to say anything?

Not at all!

However, there were a few old ministers who had some concerns in their minds. They had followed the emperor all the way to the present and knew him very well, so they couldn't help but think more deeply about his every move.

Looking at the scene of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting on the dragon throne, several old ministers couldn't help but think of the Emperor's decentralization of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over the past year or so. Could it be that ...

Thinking of a certain possibility, several old ministers looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

But, is this really possible?!

The emperor is still young and strong. Is he really willing to hand over his supreme power like this?

But if it is not like this... Could it be that the Emperor is testing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

With their minds full of entanglements, several old ministers were unable to enjoy the banquet. They now only felt that the singing was noisy and the dancing was eye-catching. They wished they could go back home early and think about the matter in a quiet and deserted environment.

It's a pity that the party hasn't ended yet.

The old ministers all have their own troubles, but the culprit for their troubles is no matter what they are thinking.

On the dragon throne, Yinxiang whispered to Kangxi, "Khan Ama, although you are going to issue an imperial decree of abdication tomorrow, you haven't abdicated yet. Can you let me go? I don't want to attract attention here!"

Yinxiang was really convinced. He just came to congratulate Khan Ama on his birthday, but he was accidentally pressed down on the dragon throne by Khan Ama. He even saw that the Queen and his mother were both choked by the wine!

Even the Emperor and his mother, who knew the situation well, were frightened. Wouldn't the ministers under them be scared enough?

After all, they were his future laborers, so Yinxiang was very considerate of them. He wanted to get up quickly, get away from the noisy Khan Ama, and go find his fourth brother.

As a result, his Khan Ama insisted on keeping him here and refused to let him leave.

Looking down at the hand that was hooked on his belt, Yinxiang was so upset that he just wanted to grit his teeth and pry Khan Ama's hand apart, even if it broke a bone!

"Give up. Just sit here tonight. You will be sitting here during the morning court tomorrow anyway. It doesn't matter whether you sit here early or late."

With a smile on his face, Kangxi toasted with his ministers below, without changing his expression or beating his heart, and did not take his thirteenth son's refusal seriously at all.

"But I'd like to sit down later. Khan Ama, can you please behave yourself?" Yinxiang wailed softly, his face expressionless while his hands behind his back began to pry Kangxi's hands apart.

"Don't move. I'll ask your mother to punish you. Do you believe me?"

Kangxi, whose bones were almost broken, could hardly hold back his expression. After curling his fingers in pain, he decisively brought out Concubine Min who had been paying attention to this side.

It must be said that this threat was quite effective. As a filial son, Yinxiang gritted his teeth and endured it: "Khan Ama, remember this, things will change over time..."

"Don't look down on young people because they are poor, right?" Kangxi directly responded to Yinxiang's words and said with a smile, "Xiang Aotian, you are still young now."

As a Khan with a great sense of evil, Kangxi was really afraid that he would not be able to anger Yinxiang to death.

The word "Xiang Aotian" made Yinxiang get goosebumps and he was short of breath. He didn't really want to talk to his own Khan Ama, so he just rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and concentrated on watching the singing and dancing.

Thirty years?

Humph, I’ll let Khan Ama see how powerful he is soon!

Yinxiang narrowed his eyes slightly, sharpening his knife in his heart.

The princes sitting together below were whispering.

"In my opinion, Khan Ama has angered Thirteenth Brother again. He will definitely suffer next."

Yinreng, who loved to watch the fun, didn't care at all that the person he said was going to be in trouble was his own Khan Ama. He was just looking forward to seeing his own Khan Ama being tricked.

"Khan Ama is really enough. He always makes Thirteenth Brother angry. I wonder if he has a grudge against Thirteenth Brother?" Yinzhen expressed his doubts in his real name.

Yinsi said silently beside him: "Isn't this just like my third brother? He and Khan Ama are really father and son."

They all love to provoke Thirteenth Brother and will not stop until they make him angry.

"That's different. Third brother and thirteenth brother are not destined to get along." Yin shook his head decisively, indicating that these two people cannot be discussed together.

What the Eighth Prince's party said was said in front of him. Yinzhi's mouth twitched when he heard it. He wished he could borrow a whip from Yinreng and teach these unruly brothers a lesson.

"That's enough, you guys, don't you know where you are? You're just making a fuss!"

As a mature and good brother, Yinzhi started to educate his troublesome younger brothers as soon as he opened his mouth.

But he seemed normal, but the next second he blurted out: "By the way, how do you think the Thirteenth Brother will fight back against Khan Ama?"

How to say it, no matter how mature he is, the liveliness of Khan Ama is something you can’t miss.

The liveliness of the Wanshou Festival lies in the peace and prosperity in the world and the happiness of the people.

The fireworks had been burning for half the night, and the streets, which were usually quiet, were now filled with people coming and going for fun.

The emperor's birthday is celebrated together with the people.

After the palace banquet was over, officials in groups of three or five slowly left the scene. Officials from the Lifanyuan were responsible for sending the envoys back to the reception hall, while the princes and princesses all lived in the palace.

Their Khan Ama said: "It's so late, don't rush around, just stay in the palace, there's room for you."

So, one by one, they all stayed there.

Those who came with families and those who were alone, the princes went to the prince's residence and the princesses went to the South Three Residences, but there were some exceptions.

Side Hall of Chengqian Palace

Yinzhen and his wife did not go to Qiandong Sanshe where Yinzhen used to live, but came to Chengqian Palace. After serving Empress Tongjia to rest, the two went to the side hall.

"You should take a good rest. I promised my Thirteenth Brother that I would go to Yuqing Palace to look for him."

After talking to Nemin, Yinzhen left Chengqian Palace and went straight to Yuqing Palace.

At this time, Yuqing Palace was also extremely lively.

Because Yinreng and Yinzhi, who were both alone, came over in unison, saying that they were a little scared to be alone and needed their brothers to accompany them.

After these words were spoken, Yinxiang, who had been drinking for a while, almost couldn't help but vomit in front of them.

"Please stop it." Yinxiang looked disgusted. He looked at Yinreng with a slight twitch of his lips. "Second brother, you obviously don't want to live in the Qianqing Palace, so you came to me, right?"

He looked at Yinzhi again, frowned slightly, and snorted, "Third brother, did you see that there was no one in Fourth Brother's yard and knew that he would come to my place, so you ran over here?"

Although he used a questioning tone, Yinxiang's expression was very certain. He knew without guessing that this was definitely what he said.

Yinreng silently looked up at the sky, "Oh, the moon is so round today!"

Yinzhi blinked and looked at the ground. "Yes, the floor of Yuqing Palace is also very bright."

Seeing their performance, Yinxiang was speechless. He could only cross his arms and said firmly, "I don't care. I want to sleep with my fourth brother tonight. You two can find a room to rest by yourselves. Don't bother me and my fourth brother."

After tomorrow, his status will undergo a qualitative change. Although Fourth Brother always says that he will not distance himself from him, he is still a little panicked, otherwise he would not have asked Fourth Brother to come to Yuqing Palace tonight.

Unfortunately, the fourth brother hasn't arrived yet, but two unreliable brothers have arrived instead.

The second and third brothers are really something. With them around, they will definitely disturb him and the fourth brother!

Yinxiang felt unhappy and looked at Yinreng and Yinzhi with a wary look.

The two people who were on guard couldn't say anything, because the Thirteenth Brother was right to be on guard. The two of them would indeed disturb the world of two of them, namely the Fourth Brother and the Thirteenth Brother!

"Sleeping with your feet touching? Thirteenth brother, a world of three is also very beautiful."

Yinreng was talking nonsense in all seriousness, and he was just about to take Yinxiang's hand and tell him: "I am here to join you, not to separate you."

Fortunately, he didn't say that, otherwise Yinxiang would have sent him back to the Qianqing Palace directly.

Yinzhi was more normal. He said frankly and in a bad way: "I am here just to disturb you."

Otherwise, why would he come?

Change sleeping place?

Isn't that funny!

Yinzhi was a bachelor, and Yinxiang was so angry that he really wanted to pick up a broom and drive him out of Yuqing Palace.

Compared to his third brother, he likes his second brother a little better.

The angry Yinxiang soon welcomed his beloved fourth brother.

As soon as Yinzhen arrived at the door, he saw the three brothers confronting each other inside. He looked around curiously and called out, "Thirteenth brother, second brother, third brother, why are you standing there motionless?"

He walked forward quickly, but Yinxiang hugged his arm and pulled him away from Yinreng and Yinzhi, "Fourth brother, don't go over there, they have bad intentions!"

Yinxiang looked alert and complained to Yinzhen in a low voice, "Second brother and third brother are so unreasonable. They came here on purpose to disturb us brothers."

"Fourth brother, let's ignore them and leave them alone!"

It was obvious that Yinxiang disliked Yinreng and Yinzhi, which made the two of them want to laugh, "You little Thirteen, you are really stingy."

Isn't it just asking for the bed to be divided between them? Why are you complaining to your fourth brother about this?

Yinreng and Yinzhi shook their heads, "Thirteenth brother, you can't do it."

The two of them were so in tune with each other that Yinxiang got angry again: "Fourth brother, look at them!"

"Okay, okay, second brother and third brother, why do you always tease my thirteenth brother?"

Looking at Yinreng and Yinzhi disapprovingly, Yinzhen patted Yinxiang on the head and pulled him behind him before saying, "Second brother, third brother, my thirteenth brother and I want to chat alone tonight. Can you give us this space?"

Since Yinzhen had said so, Yinreng and Yinzhi were not the kind of people who wanted to get involved, so they both nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you two can go to your own world."

The two of them walked over with a smile, stretched out their hands to pinch Yinxiang's cheeks, and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied? You little thirteen."

Yinxiang was speechless, he looked young but that didn't mean he was really that young, on the contrary it was his two older brothers who were in their twenties and their every move were truly childish!

"Let go, you two bastards!"

Resolutely pulling away the two hands that were playing tricks on his face, Yinxiang looked at his two brothers Yinreng and Yinzhi with eyes full of contempt, "You unbelievable brothers, just wait for me!"

With a cold snort, Yinxiang pulled Yinzhen away, saying, "Let's go, Fourth Brother, let's ignore them."

The two brothers who were despised and rejected looked at each other and shrugged: "Well, it looks like we are doomed next."

He was so used to teasing his Thirteenth Brother that he almost forgot that this guy would be their new boss starting tomorrow.

What should I do? I feel like there's a big possibility that I'll be used as a vengeance against myself!

Yinreng shuddered: "It seems that I need to go back and pack my bags and run away quickly."

"Take a copy for me!" Yinzhi raised his hand decisively and applied to join.

After all, compared to the second brother, he seemed to be the one who made the thirteenth brother angry the most.

Alas, no wonder people say "It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet". If he had known this, he would not always provoke the Thirteenth Brother.

Yinzhi felt a little regretful, but not much, because he knew himself very well. If he could control himself, he would not be called Aisin-Gioro Yinzhi.

"Please ask the Eternal Heaven for help, otherwise, you are absolutely doomed."
