Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Yinreng chuckled and nodded.

"It's indeed because of Khan Ama. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Second brother is tired after so many years and wants to take a good rest."

"But now that my second brother has retired, I won't talk about these disappointing things."

"Fourth brother, do you know why second brother wants you to do this?"

Yinzhen shook his head suspiciously.

Yinreng asked directly, "Fourth brother, do you have any ideas about that position?"

Yinzhen immediately looked at the person opposite him with surprise.

"Second brother!"

"younger brother...."

Yinreng said with a smile, "Fourth brother, there's no need to be so nervous."

"We are all sons of the Emperor, so it is normal for you to have such thoughts."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

"As my second brother said, we are all Khan Ama's sons. It is impossible for my younger brother to have no thoughts at all."

“Maybe there was a moment of reluctance and longing before.”

"But since I often follow my elder brother around on errands, I feel ashamed of myself and know I can't compare to him, so I've long since forgotten those unrealistic ideas."

"My second brother was suddenly deposed as the crown prince, and now my younger brother..."

Yinreng looked at Yinzhen with amusement and spoke in an encouraging tone.

"Fourth brother, don't feel embarrassed or ashamed in front of second brother."

"You have your own good points, and Second Brother is very optimistic about you!"

Yinzhen looked at his second brother in shock, unable to believe it.

“Second brother…”

Yinreng did not explain anything, but continued: "You and I have always had a good relationship. We are both brothers and brothers-in-law."

"If you were in that position, my second brother would feel more at ease."

"Second brother can't help you in other areas because Khan Ama is watching you. If second brother helps you, it won't be good for you, but will harm you instead."

Yinzhen was puzzled, "Please help me, second brother."

Yinreng didn't say it very clearly, but just smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

"Fourth brother, think about why Second Brother deposed the Crown Prince."

"My second brother has only one thing to tell you: if you don't fight, you will fight."

"When you can comprehend this sentence, you will be stable."

Seeing his second brother's confident and trusting look, Yinreng became even more suspicious.

"Since Second Brother knows, why is he still here?"

Yinreng filled him a cup of hot tea and then spoke.

"Fourth brother, every loss has its own merits. Although Second Brother is no longer the Crown Prince, do you think Second Brother has truly lost everything?"

"Look at the fate of those princes in history, and then look at the situation my second brother is in now."

"Let's not talk about the distant past, let's just think about my eldest brother who is still imprisoned."

"Second brother is already very satisfied."

"People can't be too greedy."

Yinzhen was startled for a moment, then he picked up the teacup and gestured in Yinreng's direction with respect and gratitude.

"Second brother still sees it clearly, and the younger brother knows it."

"Thank you for the advice, second brother."

Yinreng picked up his teacup, returned the greeting to Yinzhen, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Then Yinreng continued, "You just need to do your job well in the future and don't let others plot against you."

"Second brother has already told Old Ten that he will secretly support you in the future."

"Old Thirteen has a very good relationship with you. Even if Second Brother doesn't say anything, Thirteenth Brother will stand by you."

Yinzhen tried hard to appear to be listening respectfully, but he was already excited and thrilled in his heart.

The hands on his knees were clenched into fists and were trembling slightly.

"Thank you, second brother, for worrying about your younger brother."

Yinreng waved his hand.

"Second brother also needs to ask you for something."

Yinzhen couldn't help but ask: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I will definitely do my best to help you!"

Yinreng smiled faintly and said in a nonchalant manner.

"Now I am completely free. Your second sister-in-law has always wanted to travel all over the mountains and rivers of our Great Qing Dynasty."

"It's just that I didn't have the opportunity or time in the past. Your second sister-in-law has been trapped in the palace and has lost her freedom because of me."

"So now that we have time, your second sister-in-law and I have discussed it. After Hongxi's wife gives birth, your second brother will take your second sister-in-law out of the capital for a tour."

"I'm afraid I'll rarely have time to return to Beijing in the future."

"The older children are already grown up, so your second sister-in-law and I are not worried. The only one we are worried about is Honggui, who is only three years old now."

"He's still young. If his mother and I leave him, he'll definitely have a hard time adapting."

"He and Hongli have a very good relationship, and your second sister-in-law and I treat Hongli like our own son."

"So I would like to ask Fourth Brother, after your second sister-in-law and I leave the capital, to leave Honggui with your concubine, so that he can live and grow up with Hongli."

"With her looking after the two children, your second sister-in-law and I can rest assured."

"I think with Hongli's company, playing and studying with him, Honggui wouldn't be so uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Yinzhen quickly nodded in agreement.

"Brother, you trust me by handing Honggui over to me. I will definitely take good care of him."

"Don't worry, second brother and second sister-in-law!"

Yinreng laughed dumbly, "Don't think that Honggui is a well-behaved and sensible boy."

"Honggui is lively and naughty, and often gives your second sister-in-law and me a headache."

"Second brother is a little worried about you and Concubine, and considering me and his mother, he can't bear to discipline him."

"I've already told Hongxi that he's the eldest brother. If that kid doesn't learn his lesson, Hongxi can punish him at will!"

"So I thought that Honggui would live in Prince Yong's mansion for half a year and in Hongxi's mansion for the other half a year."

"However, Honggui and Hongli are inseparable. I thought that Hongli and Honggui would live together in Hongxi's mansion for half a year."

"My two sons, from now on, you will live in Prince Yong's mansion and Hongxi's mansion for half a year each year. What do you think, Fourth Brother?"

Yinzhen agreed without hesitation.

"I'm very happy to have Feng Sheng'e to discipline Hongli for me."

"My younger brother also hopes that they can have a good relationship with each other."

Yinreng smiled happily.

"Then it's settled."

Yinzhen assured him earnestly, "Brother, just rest assured and hand Honggui over to me!"

.........

After meeting and chatting privately with Yinzhen, Yinreng then looked for Yin'er and Yinxiang.

The content of the explanation was similar to what had been agreed with Yin'e in advance.

Yinzhen had also heard about his second brother's arrangements from his tenth brother a long time ago.

So when Yinreng reminded him again, he agreed without thinking.

He has always trusted his second brother and sister-in-law.

As for Yinxiang, the reason why Yinreng asked him to stay with Yinzhen and help the fourth brother was not only because of their good relationship.

If the fourth prince comes to power in the future, he will definitely use Yinxiang because of his constant support.

When the next generation of children grow up, he only needs to let Yinxiang give more advice to Hongli in front of the fourth son, which will be a great help to Hongli.

In addition, there was the Fucha clan, which he had arranged in advance, as well as the Hesheli clan and the Guwaljia clan.

As long as Hongli is not a hopeless case, and with the arrangements made by Concubine Mu, it is not an exaggeration to say that everything is foolproof.

He didn't believe that his child would be a hopeless case, and Hongxi was watching him!
