The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 66: Are there enough jewelry to share?

After lunch, a group of people came down from Lilac Embankment and sent the Empress Dowager back to her residence. Then Kangxi took the twins back to Qingxi Study, while Buerhe said goodbye to his sister-in-law and brothers and sisters and returned to their respective gardens.

Seeing Yinreng come back so early today, Buerhe was a little curious: "Why did you come back so early today? Did you have lunch?"

Yinreng was leaning on the chaise longue, reading a travelogue that Buerhe had collected earlier. When he heard Buerhe's words, he put down the book in his hand and said, "When the Emperor brought Hongye and Jingyi to look for you, I took the opportunity to come back. I just had lunch. Did you enjoy your day today?"

Buerhe was no longer sleepy when he mentioned this: "I didn't expect this lilac embankment to be so beautiful. Today, I built two swings with my fourth brother and his wife. There is the fragrance of flowers and the breeze and birds singing. I won't get tired of it even if I stay there all day."

Thinking of Lilac Dike, Buerhe remembered what Hongye said: "By the way, sir, what's the matter with Hongye's teacher?" That was the teacher that Yinreng had found with great difficulty. He had a gentle temper and was good at adapting, which was very much to the taste of the twins. Under his teaching, the twins became much less naughty.

Yinreng sat up and replied, "The old man is old. The imperial physician came back today and reported that he needs at least six months of recuperation before he can return to work. I was thinking about finding another child to teach the twins first, and then come back when the old man recovers."

Buerhe: "No need. Before lunch today, our son said that the emperor intended to let Hongye enter the Shangshufang to study in advance."

Yinreng stood up and sat down in front of Buerhe. "What's going on? Tell me more."

Buerhe: "It's like this, Hongye said that after his master had health problems this morning, they originally came back to look for me, but I was at Dingxiangdi at that time, so they had no choice but to go to Qingxi Book House to look for me.

On the way to Dingxiangdi, the Emperor asked Hongye to enter the Shangshufang and asked him to reply after lunch. So on our way back, the Emperor took the two children away.

Yinreng: "What will Hongye decide? Should he go or stay in Yuqing Palace to study?"

Buerhe: "Hongye wants to go, because the current small class teaching makes him unclear about his own learning progress, and his sister's can only be used as a reference. Also, he wants to take Jingyi to the Shangshufang with him, because he is worried that Jingyi will be lonely studying alone in Yuqing Palace. So, I gave him an idea and told him to talk to the Emperor. The final decision on whether to go or not still lies with the Emperor. Where the twins will attend school in the future still needs to wait for the Emperor's decision."

Yinreng thought for a moment and said, "Given our son's cleverness, the Emperor must have been overjoyed. The idea of ​​sending him to the Shangshufang must have occurred to him last night, but today Hongye's teacher gave him an opportunity, which the Emperor took advantage of. So, he sent Hongye directly to the Shangshufang to study under his watchful eye."

As for Jingyi, the Emperor knew the twins had a deep bond, so he didn't mention it because it wasn't customary for royal girls to study in the Shangshufang, and secondly, it was probably to test whether Hongye would ask him to take Jingyi with him to study.

Buerhe opened his eyes wide. "No way! Hongye is only three years old this year. Is the Emperor testing him like this?"

Yinreng shook his head at Buerhe, signaling her to speak more quietly. This garden was a mixed crowd, and they had just moved in. There were many places and people that they had not yet gotten to know well, so some things were not suitable to be spoken loudly.

Yinreng: "You don't know the Emperor Father at all. His energy is the most powerful I have ever seen. You saw my work and rest schedule before, and you thought I was the most powerful and very hard-working. That's because you haven't seen the Emperor Father's work and rest schedule.

"The Emperor wakes up earlier than me and goes to bed later than me every day. He also takes time to accompany the concubines in the harem and pays attention to me and my brothers. I can't stand doing all this for a single day. But the Emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years. Except for New Year's Eve, when have you ever seen the Emperor take a day off?"

After a pause, Yinreng continued, "And the biggest problem for the Emperor is that he is too suspicious. If it were just suspicion, it wouldn't be a big problem. Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was also a very suspicious person. He doubted others all his life, but he believed in his own prince wholeheartedly from beginning to end. But the Emperor is different. He has never trusted anyone in his life, anyone..."

As he was talking, Yinreng couldn't continue. Buerhe had already opened his arms and hugged him tightly when Yinreng was in a bad mood. At this time, Yinreng's voice was already hoarse.

Although, as a daughter-in-law, she has seen the emperor's trust in her father in the past few years since she got married, this kind of trust can only be felt by being in it. Perhaps Yinreng knows a lot of things that she is not aware of, or perhaps what she, an outsider, sees is just an act?

After all, the best actors must belong to the royal family!

After a long while, Yinreng calmed down and came out of Buerhe's arms. He pulled Buerhe to sit on the bed, hugged her, and said quietly: "Let Hongye take care of this matter. His future will not be smooth sailing. Now we have us behind him to protect him, so no big problems will arise. When that time comes and we can no longer make the decision, the future can only rely on himself. Jingyi can always accompany him, so that he will always have someone he can trust. Even if he really takes that position in the future, he will not be alone."

Bu Erhe understood what the prince meant, but Hongye and Jingyi were still so young, and he just couldn't bear to let them face the conspiracies and intrigues in the deep palace.

But what the prince said was right. The eagle must spread its wings and fly. Now she and the prince are there to catch them and hold them up. But in the future, when the forces behind her and the prince can no longer hold on, will her eagle still have the chance to spread its wings?

No one can give a definite answer to this question. Even the emperor, the king of a country, will have his own way when the time comes. Therefore, it is the best way to train the eagle early and let it start learning to fly now.

At Qingxi Book House, after bringing back the twins, Kangxi did not ask Hongye for the answer right away. Instead, he asked Liang Jiugong to take Jingyi to the warehouse to choose gifts. That was something he had promised before, and now it was time to fulfill it.

After the room was clear, Kangxi raised an eyebrow at Hongye, motioning him to sit down, and then asked, "Do you have an answer?"

Hongye nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, your grandson wants to go to the Shangshufang, but your grandson would like to ask Your Majesty to let him take his sister with him."

Kangxi looked at Hongye with interest: "What if I don't agree?"

Hongye: "The Queen will definitely agree. My sister is so smart and cute. How could the Queen not agree to let my sister go to the Shangshufang together?"

Good guy, he even learned moral kidnapping.

Kangxi was interested: "But you should know that boys and girls have different seats after the age of seven. Even if Jingyi goes with you this time, she can only learn for three years. How much can she learn in these three years?"

Hongye didn't think too much about it. He only wanted to fulfill his sister's wish to study. If he went to the Shangshufang, he would take his sister with him.

So he looked up and looked Kangxi in the eye: "My grandson hasn't thought that far ahead. Besides, things are always changing. Who can predict the future? Maybe in three years, Your Majesty, you will agree to let my sister go to school again? After all, there has never been a precedent for a daughter to study in the Shangshufang, right?"

Kangxi laughed heartily. "It seems you're convinced that the Emperor will allow Jingyi to enroll in school?"

Hongye also laughed, showing his cute little canine teeth: "The Imperial Law didn't say that it's forbidden. In this case, my sister can go to school with me."

Kangxi could no longer hold back, and walked up to Hongye. He pinched Hongye's armpits with both hands and lifted him up high: "You are worthy of being the unicorn son of the Aisin Gioro family. My grandson is so smart." After that, he smiled and threw Hongye up several times, which made Hongye scream and shout excitedly to do it again.

From a distance, Liang Jiugong could hear his master's hearty laughter, and his regard for the twins, especially Prince Hongye, increased even more. Previously, Yuqing Palace's position was secure, and Prince Hongye would be the most prominent among all the emperor's grandchildren, even surpassing some of the other princes.

That evening during dinner, the prince and his wife saw the twins, a boy and a girl, followed by many rewards, large and small.

Bull and joked, "Are you going to rob your Royal Mafa's warehouse?"

Jingyi blushed after hearing this and nestled in Buerhe's arms. Hongye answered honestly, "These were all given to me by my father-in-law. I picked them myself."

Buerhe raised an eyebrow and looked at Yinreng, then lifted Jingyi's head from his arms: "Jingyi, your Majesty didn't let you choose so many, right?"

Jingyi pouted unconvincedly, "The Emperor told Jingyi to pick whatever she wants, so what's wrong with Jingyi picking the ones she likes? Besides, Jingyi has left behind a lot of favorites. If she wasn't afraid that the Emperor wouldn't have anything to give to the Empress in the Harem, Jingyi would have wanted to bring them all back."

Buerhe didn't believe Jingyi's words. That was several large boxes of jewelry. How could this be considered too little? So, the couple turned to look at Hongye.

Hongye's smile immediately tightened. "The Emperor said on the imperial palanquin that he would give me a gift, but when we were at Qingxi Book House, he told me to choose it myself. Although he didn't emphasize it again, he actually let me pick one. But after I entered the storeroom, I heard from Grandpa Liang that I picked out all the things I liked and even found a big box to pack them all in. In the end, she couldn't carry it all and asked a few eunuchs to help her. It was not until Grandpa Liang reminded me that I reluctantly left."

Yinreng had a smile in his eyes and a sly smile on his lips: "Then wouldn't your Royal Father feel sad when he saw this?" He knew that his eldest prince had amazing insight. If the Royal Father had handled his expression inappropriately at that time, Hongye would definitely have noticed it.

As expected, Hongye finally spoke out after a struggle: "The emperor was shocked at first, but then his son saw that after his sister opened all the large boxes behind him, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously a few times, and there was a look of heartache in his eyes. Finally, he saw his sister hugging all the boxes tightly like treasures, with no intention of returning them. So he had no choice but to let the eunuch bring his son and sister back."

Yinreng appeared expressionless on the surface, but he was actually almost laughing like crazy inside. He knew that the tribute from Jiangnan had just arrived at Qingxi Book House yesterday, and the Emperor probably hadn't started to distribute them yet.

I heard that only four or five boxes of jewelry were delivered this time. Looking at what Jingyi brought back today, there must be at least two boxes. Now the shares of the concubines in the harem will be reduced!

Yinreng was so happy to see the emperor's joke, which was accidentally caused by his own daughter. He couldn't help but pick up Jingyi and started spinning around with her: "Daughter, you are really a good daughter of father, you are really great!"

Bu Erhe and Hongye looked at each other, not understanding why this matter made their husbands/fathers so excited. However, being happy is better than being sad, so they just shrugged their shoulders and opened the boxes one by one to look at the gifts Jingyi brought back.
