Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 117: Yuqing Palace Hosts a Banquet for the Princes

After leaving Kangxi, Yinreng went straight back to Yuqing Palace.

"Xiao Yu'er, have you prepared the pot and the base for Khan Ama and Huang Mama?"

Wanyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master."

"I've asked Kong Youfu to arrange for young eunuchs to be sent to the kitchens of the Qianqing Palace and the Ningshou Palace."

"For lunch today, Khan Ama and Queen Mama will be able to taste the novel pot."

Yinreng nodded, "That's good."

Wanyu asked, "By the way, brothers, when will the eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife arrive?"

Yinreng looked at the sky and said, "It's not long before the study is over. They should be here soon."

"Fujin, will you please go with me to the front yard and wait?"

"it is good."

The two of them walked hand in hand to the Dunben Hall in the front yard, and then entered Yinreng's study to kill time and wait for guests to arrive.

Yinreng was holding a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian and looking at it with a frown, his face full of seriousness and earnestness.

Wanyu was also in Yinreng's study, reading a local gazetteer with great interest.

Soon a young eunuch arrived at the door and reported to Zhang Xi who was guarding it, saying that he saw the prince coming towards the East Palace from afar.

Zhang Xi hurried into the hall and bowed to report to the two masters the news that the young eunuch had just reported.

Yinreng put down the book in his hand and extended his hand towards Wanyu.

"Let's go and take a look at the gate together."

The gate that Yinreng was talking about was not the Qianxing Gate in the front, but the Xiangxu Gate in front of Dunben Hall.

As soon as the two walked out of the front star gate, they saw through the Yangyao Gate on the west wall that a small group of little rascals had passed through the Renxiang Gate and arrived at the Zhai Palace Gate, heading towards the Yuqing Palace.

The third prince Yinzhi walked in front, followed by a group of younger brothers ranging in age from thirteen to five or six.

Everyone also saw the prince and his wife from the past who had been looking at them.

The third brother Yinzhi was shocked at this time!

[The Crown Prince's second brother actually came out to greet us? ]

【Does the sun rise from the west today? 】

The fifth brother Yinqi looked dazed.

He was only surprised when he first saw Yinreng.

[When did the second prince become so kind that he would even greet us outside? ]

However, when he thought about what the teacher had said in the study today, he realized that he didn't understand most of it, and he immediately fell into distress and depression.

[Alas, spending all day in the upper study with the teacher studying the Four Books and Five Classics is really too difficult for me. I am not cut out for studying at all.]

[I wonder if my mother and the Royal Madam will be angry?]

I'm really stupid.

[No, I must study hard and not embarrass my mother and my husband!]

The seventh brother Yinyou walked behind, carefully hiding his figure, feeling very nervous.

My legs and feet are not good, and I don't know if the Crown Prince's wife will laugh at me if she sees me later.

My brothers are all in good health, but I have a leg disease. My father-in-law doesn't like me, and my mother is not favored either.

[Even my brothers are better than me. Is this how my life will end?]

The eighth prince Yinsi had a gentle smile on his face, but he was actually filled with anger and resentment in his heart.

[The Crown Prince's second sister-in-law is indeed a princess of the Guarjia clan, with a noble and graceful demeanor.]

[Khan Ama is really partial to the second prince! ]

[Not only did he raise the prince from childhood, but he also found a wife with a very distinguished family background.]

[I had heard that my second sister-in-law's father, although a legitimate son of the Guwalja family, was only a minor official of the fifth rank at the time.]

[I didn't expect that Khan Ama would promote me to the third rank right after. Khan Ama really is partial to the Crown Prince!]

[Is it possible that only the Crown Prince is his son, and none of us are?!]

[Although the Guo Luoluo family has the support of Prince An's Mansion, it comes at the cost of my future offspring!]

"She's done me so much harm! I wish I could chop her into pieces! Why did Ama keep her around?!"

[She even wants me to be so servile and careful ingratiating myself for the sake of Prince An's Mansion and Prince An's military power in the Zhenglan Banner. How despicable!]

[Khan Ama, why are you so unfair to me?!]

[Also, Guo Luoluo was originally supposed to be given to Lao Jiu. She's arrogant, domineering, and vicious. I don't want a woman like that at all!]

[Even the Prince An's Mansion has now been downgraded to a County Prince's Mansion. A daughter married out of the family is born to a daughter of a criminal official, and yet Khan Ama appointed her as his wife without hesitation?!]

[Just because the mother is of low status, does that mean the son is even lower-class?]

[One day...One day...]

To the right of the ninth prince Yinzhen is the tenth prince Yin?, and to the left is his biological brother, the eleventh prince Yinzhen, who share the same mother.

From time to time, he would turn his head to look at his brother on the left, whose face was slightly pale, and pay attention to his brother's body.

[Alas~ Eleventh Brother is really too arrogant. ]

[He was not feeling well, so he was asked to go back to his mother's Yikun Palace for dinner, but he refused.]

[I heard that the Crown Prince's second brother was hosting a banquet for all the brothers today, and he didn't care about his frail body at all.]

[If something happens to Eleventh Brother's health in Yuqing Palace later, how will I explain this to Mother?]

[Fifth brother is really something. He doesn't even bother to persuade Eleventh brother. Instead, he just indulges him!]

The tenth prince looked at the prince and his wife in front of him with anticipation.

[My mother told me that the Crown Prince's food, clothing, and other necessities are better than Khan Ama's. I'll give him more food later!]

[Second sister-in-law is such a nice person. I'll eat more later. She will definitely not laugh at me!]

[I wonder what delicious food the Crown Prince's second brother and his wife will prepare to treat us brothers.]

The Eleventh Prince was full of anticipation.

[This is my first time dining at the Crown Prince's palace. I'm really looking forward to it.]

[I hope my body will be in better shape today and not feel unwell again soon.]

The twelfth prince Yinluo followed his brothers, his heart calm.

He only remembered what Su Malagu specifically told him.

Once you enter the Eastern Palace, you must listen carefully to the Crown Prince.

The prince is the ruler, and no one can disobey any of his orders or instructions.

I am of low status, so I should remain neutral among my brothers, not participate in any struggles, and certainly not try to take the lead!

Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang was a little nervous.

"This is my first time eating at the Crown Prince's palace. Please don't embarrass yourself later."

"Mother has had a hard time taking care of my two younger sisters in the harem. I can't make her suffer any more."

"I hope I don't make the Crown Prince angry later, otherwise it will be bad if Khan Ama implicates my mother."

Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen is only six years old now.

Although her biological mother was demoted to Depin, she was always spoiled by Depin.

In addition, because he is the youngest prince in the palace, Kangxi still favors this youngest son.

So he is very domineering and flamboyant, fearless and full of energy.

[The Crown Prince's second sister-in-law looks dignified, elegant, and beautiful, even prettier than the ladies in the harem!]

[Hehe... In the future, I will also ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to find me a wife like the Crown Prince's second sister-in-law.]

......

At this time, Yinreng's mind was full of the chaotic thoughts of the group of younger brothers in front of him, which also gave him a deeper understanding of these younger brothers.

After passing through Yangyao Gate, everyone bowed respectfully to Yinreng and Wanyu.

"My younger brother has met the Crown Prince and his wife." x10

Wanyu smiled and said, "We are all brothers from the same family. There is no need to be so formal with my brothers."

"Now that you're at Yuqing Palace, it's like being at home. Please don't be estranged from me and your second brother."

Yinreng nodded and then asked Yinzhi.

"Where are the eldest and the fourth?"

Yinzhi replied, "My eldest and fourth brothers asked me to tell my second brother, the Crown Prince, that they have returned to the Nansanso first."

"He said he would bring his eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother with him."

Yinreng nodded, "Okay, let's all go in."
