Chapter 98: Couple Chat

It had been a long time since the couple sat together and chatted about gossip like this. For some time before, Yinreng had been busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, going out early and returning late. Today was the first time he could really rest in Yuqing Palace.

After chatting about the gossip in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Bu Erhe talked about Ke Jing's affairs. Ke Jing was about to give birth, but it was still unclear what the specific situation was and whether it would go smoothly.

Yinreng whispered to Buerhe, "It's okay. Fourth sister is a heroine. Besides, when she got married, she brought many guards and royal medicine with her, so she wouldn't be short of anything. I remember Qingqing also sent a female doctor who was an expert in gynecology. If these can't protect Fourth sister, then my Qing Dynasty is too incompetent."

When Buerhe heard what Yinreng said, he remembered the people and things that Kejing brought with her when she got married, as well as the medicinal herbs he had sent from time to time in recent years, and he felt a little relieved.

Buerhe: "I am not ignorant of this, but I am mainly worried. Fourth sister is alone in Khalkha, unlike fifth sister, who has no one around to help her. I don't know if that prince consort is a good person who can respect fourth sister."

Yinreng: "You are just overthinking. Didn't I tell you that Fourth Sister's life is much freer now, and not only that, she also has the possibility of participating in politics?"

When Buerhe heard this, he looked at Yinreng with surprise, as if asking: Did I hear it correctly?

Yinreng smiled and nodded. "Fourth sister is quite powerful now. Even before she became pregnant, she sent word back saying that she had complete control over her husband. Not only that, she now has the right to participate in government affairs. In the future, she wants to turn her princess residence in Guihua City into the political center of the entire desert. By then, Fourth sister will be the most influential figure in all of Khalkha. Even the husband will not be as prestigious as Fourth sister. What dangers could possibly arise around such a Fourth sister? I have explained it so clearly, you should be relieved, my dear!"

Bu Erhe was indeed relieved. He didn't expect that his fourth sister, who was always honest, obedient and well-behaved in front of him, would be so powerful after going to Mongolia. She really should not be underestimated.

Yinreng said, "In fact, none of my brothers and sisters are weak. Just look at my second sister. Although she didn't participate in politics like my fourth sister, she married into the Balin tribe in the south of the desert for less than half a year and I heard she already had a son-in-law firmly in her hands. Now all of Urgun's descendants are from my second sister, and the future princes of the Balin tribe will only be her descendants."

Buerhe was annoyed: "Second sister is marrying the grandson of Princess Gulun Shuhui, how could she be bullied?"

Yinreng smiled but said nothing. He believed that if he married the grandson of the eldest princess, he would definitely be treated well. Otherwise, Princess Shuhui was the granddaughter of Huang Taiji's great-grandfather, and was very distant from their lineage. Besides, the second sister was just a concubine's princess. The reason why she was recognized by everyone so quickly was not just because of her identity as a princess.

Yinreng stopped talking about the Second Princess and turned his attention to the other princesses. "What do you think? You get along well with your Sixth and Ninth Sisters, and you even exchange small gifts with each other. But you don't have much contact with the Eighth and Tenth Sisters, the children of Concubine Min?"

Xiao Ba and Xiao Shi are Thirteenth's biological sisters. If they get along well, and if he succeeds in the future, Thirteenth will also be a great general. He helped him a lot when he was under the Fourth Brother.

Buerhe thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't want to have more contact with my eighth and tenth sisters. You know that I'm not the kind of person who values ​​family background. As long as we have a good impression of each other, I can get along with them.

But I just feel like things aren't going well with my eighth and tenth sisters. It was the same before in Changchun Garden. Every time I asked my sixth and ninth sisters to go out for fun, and sent messages to my eighth and tenth sisters, they would reply that they were busy or sick.

After a few times, I realized that perhaps they didn't want to have any contact with Yuqing Palace, so I stopped inviting them. Besides, the Emperor had specifically asked me to take good care of my Sixth and Ninth Sisters, and my Eighth and Tenth Sisters were always with Concubine Min, so I didn't bother them anymore.

After Buerhe's explanation, Yinreng also understood the reason. Since Concubine Min was unwilling to have contact with Yuqing Palace, there was no need for him to keep sticking to it. Anyway, his own Crown Princess always treated everyone equally when sending gifts, and no one was left out. As for the value and thoughtfulness of the gifts, there are still ten fingers of different lengths. If you are partial to one or like one more, as long as the gift is thoughtful, even if the Emperor knows about it, he will have nothing to say.

After the couple finished talking, the princesses talked about going to Ulanara's mansion to celebrate a birthday in a few days. This year is the 60th birthday of the old lady in Ulanara's mansion, and it must be a grand celebration.

Today, the Ulanara Mansion is no longer the rootless and declining one it was in the previous life. In this life, Fei Yanggu is still alive and well. Not only that, the Ulanara family also has a crown princess. It can be said that as long as the crown prince can be stabilized and the throne is obtained, the Ulanara family is expected to become the next Hesheli family, and will be more glorious than the current Hesheli family.

Bu Erhe had known about the old lady's birthday two months ago in Changchun Garden. This time the prince also accompanied her. Of course, this had been reported to Kangxi. Otherwise, it would be condescending for a prince to visit a minister's house, even if it was his father-in-law's house.

This time, Buerhe had one more thing he wanted to do, which was to visit his eldest brother's home, Sashiku. Hongye was getting older, and he needed to start looking for a study partner. His eldest brother was a simple and honest man with a strong sense of responsibility, and his eldest sister-in-law was gentle and polite. He thought his eldest nephew, Sashiku, would be a good person too.

This is also the only place that Burhe can get for the Ulanara family. The rest have basically been decided by the emperor.

It is said that since Hongye went to the Shangshufang, the emperor's love for him has increased day by day. Yinreng has become so fond of him that he is no longer impressed by him. Even Jingyi, one of the twins, is quite liked by the emperor.

Yinreng also had a good impression of his elder brother-in-law Xinghui. Although he had been a second-class guard serving the emperor in recent years, he had made steady progress and was now a team leader. He believed that in a few years, he would be able to be promoted to a first-class guard.

So when Buerhe proposed to take Xinghui's son to be Hongye's study companion, Yinreng only thought about it for a moment and agreed.

However, it is a bit early to say all this. The fact that my eldest prince is precocious does not mean that other children are the same. Just look at the two younger brothers who often come to Yuqing Palace to play. Up to now, they have not yet finished memorizing the "Three Character Classic" and have only learned half of the characters in the "Thousand Character Classic". They are far behind Hongye and Jingyi at that time.

This inspection is to see what kind of child Sashiku is. If his temperament meets the requirements, he will be taken to Yuqing Palace to stay for a period of time. After he is really six years old, he will go to Shangshufang to become Hongye's companion. Similarly, the emperor will also arrange for another child to occupy the companion position.

Thinking of Hongye's study partner, Yinreng looked at Buerhe doubtfully: "I'm still relieved about the eldest prince, but what about the eldest princess?"

After hearing this, Buerhe was silent for a while: "I wonder if the emperor will allow Jingyi to study in the Shangshufang when the time comes? The rule of the Shangshufang is that you can enter after you are six years old. In the entire Forbidden City, only the twins have broken this rule. No one else has such treatment.

At present, Jingyi's study in the Shangshufang has been recognized by everyone, but that is because Jingyi is still young, less than six years old. If Jingyi really reaches that age, I can't guess what the emperor will think or say at that time.

My idea is to wait and see. If the Emperor continues to allow Jingyi to study in the Shangshufang, I will make arrangements then. As for Sashiku, I also thought about not telling the two children that he is here to be a study companion. I will just take him in and let them be playmates. The rest will take care of itself.

Buerhe's consideration made sense, and Yinreng didn't say much. The two of them just leaned against each other quietly, enjoying this rare peace.

In the evening, the twins, boy and girl, came back soon after, and with them came the two little princes, the fifteenth and the sixteenth, who were inseparable from them.

As soon as they entered the house, after several people bowed and greeted each other, Jingyi ran to Buerhe and happily boasted: "Mother, mother, today Wukuma Ma rewarded her daughter with a pony. It has white fur and is very beautiful."

Then, a surprised voice came from Burhe: "Oh, didn't Concubine Yi go to the palace to play? Why did she go to Ukuma Ma's place? What's the matter with this little pony?"

Hearing the envy in her mother's tone, Jingyi held her head high: "This is the pony Jingyi won with her own ability. It is Jingyi's own little horse. I will raise it in Yuqing Palace. When she grows up, my daughter will learn horse riding and archery."

Yinreng was also very curious. Any horse that could stay in the palace, even a foal, was extraordinary. Such horses were usually owned exclusively by the emperor, kept in the upper courtyard, and not allowed to be moved easily. How could the emperor's mother reward Jingyi with one today?

Yinreng: "What on earth is going on? Can anyone explain it to me?"

At this point, Hongye stepped forward and said, "Since my sister can't explain it clearly, I'll let my sons do it for me. We originally planned to go to Wukuma Ma's Ciren Palace this afternoon, but we ran into Uncle Nine and Uncle Ten on the way. We saw them arguing about something as they walked. We were very curious, so we quietly followed them into Yima Ma's Yikun Palace."

Bu Erhe and Yinreng calculated the time and found that it was the time when Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi returned to the palace from their fourth brother. It seemed that the twins met at that time.

This also explains why when they went downstairs to ask where the twins had gone, the servants came over and said that the young masters were all in Yikun Palace.

Hongye started, and Jingyi quickly added, "My uncle, my brother, and I had just entered Yuqing Palace when Mama Yi found out and sent someone to invite us all into Yikun Palace. At that time, Uncle Nine and Uncle Ten hadn't given up their argument yet, and seeing that we were curious, they told us the whole story."

At this time, Yinyu also added: "We helped the ninth brother calculate the answer." Yinlu on the side was not to be outdone: "We are great, we are good children."

Buerhe pulled his two younger brothers-in-law over, petted each of them, and then pushed the snack plates in front of the two brothers. "Well, Little Fifteen and Little Sixteen are the best. They are both able to help Ninth Brother. That's amazing. This is the snack reward from Second Sister-in-law. Use some quickly."

Jingyi glared at the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Princes with a look of disappointment. While she was showing off her achievements, the two foodies had forgotten their previous agreement and were only focused on eating snacks. But what snacks did her mother prepare today? They looked really delicious.

Seeing that his sister, who had been sticking to her post, was also focusing on the snacks, Hongye had no choice but to step forward again: "Uncle Nine was doing the accounting and wanted to find someone. Uncle Ten suggested taking him with him, but Uncle Nine disagreed. Then Uncle Nine gave Uncle Ten a question, but Uncle Ten couldn't answer it, but my sister figured it out mentally. Later, Uncle Nine was not convinced and asked several more questions, and my sister answered them all.

Finally, Uncle Jiu took out an account book and competed with my sister in calculations. In the end, my sister finished the calculation half an hour earlier than Uncle Jiu and won the competition. Later, we went to Wukuma Ma Palace to tell her about this matter, and Wukuma Ma happily gave my sister a pony as a gift.

The couple didn't expect that this was the truth of the matter, but Boolean was not surprised. The twins had learned mathematics by themselves. It can be said that as long as it did not involve too profound mathematical knowledge, simple calculations would not be difficult for the brother and sister.

Yinreng was surprised. He had always known that the Crown Princess taught the twins math, but he had never taken it seriously. He had never expected the twins to be so good at math. His ninth brother, with his love of gold and silver, was arguably the best math student among the brothers, yet he was actually defeated by the twins.

Yinreng discovered another great advantage of his own Crown Princess: she was very good at mathematics. Thinking of this, Yinreng felt that his Crown Princess was like a book that you could never finish reading. You thought you had finished reading it, but you didn't know there was more to it.
