After the morning court, Yinzhen was walking on the way out of the palace, and someone called him from behind.
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!"
Yinzhen turned around and saw that it was his youngest brother, Lao Shiqi.
Seventeenth is the daughter of Concubine Shu. She is only eight years old now, an age that even naughty dogs would find disgusting. But the emperor thought that he was young and doted on him, so he was much less worried than the adult princes.
"It's Yinli. If you don't go to study today, why are you here? Where are the people around you?"
When Yinzhen saw Lao Qi, he smiled a little. Because this younger brother was young, he was very respectful to him, calling him "fourth brother" all the time, and he was much closer than Yinzhen's biological brother, Lao Shi4.
Yinzhen and the fourteenth-year-old Yinzhen were both born to Concubine De, and they were biological brothers with the same father and mother. However, the child grew up beside Concubine De, so for Yinzhen, who had been raised under the knees of Concubine Tong Jia since childhood, My brother is very cold when we meet him.
Old Seventeen Yinli took two steps forward and saluted.
"Yinli has met the fourth brother, who is auspicious. We were supposed to study today, but... to be honest with the fourth brother, my younger brother doesn't want to go. He studies hard every day and is very tired. The people who follow me are stupid. I turned left and right in the imperial garden and got rid of them all!"
Yinzhen laughed out loud when he saw Yinli pouting like a reluctant child.
"You are not good, be careful if Emperor Ama finds out and punishes you."
At such a young age, Yinli sighed like an adult.
"Sigh... What's the use of studying hard every day? I don't have to be an emperor. Why don't I just be an idle prince?"
People were coming and going in the palace, and Yinzhen quickly covered Yinli's mouth and scolded him lightly.
"Don't make excuses! Emperor Ama likes you, so you should have some sense of proportion. I let you study in order to understand the truth, distinguish right from wrong, and have your own opinions in the face of big things."
Yinzhen asked as he released his hand covering Yinli's mouth.
"Then tell Fourth Brother that you don't want to study today. What do you want to do?"
Yinli's eyes lit up instantly and he said eagerly.
"Fourth brother, can you take me to ride a horse? I heard that the horse racing farm in the suburbs of Beijing is very big! I haven't seen it yet! Huang Ama always said that I was still young and wouldn't let me go!"
Yinzhen grimaced and said.
"The Emperor doesn't even let you go, so I dare to take you there privately? Do you want to see the Emperor break my legs?"
Yinli said hurriedly.
"No, no, fourth brother, I don't have such bad intentions. I just don't want to study today..."
Yinzhen had a headache. This younger brother was usually polite and respectful, but he didn't want to go to school today.
But when he thought about the times when he didn't want to study when he was a child, he felt he understood Lao Qi.
"Su Peisheng, go and report to the Emperor's Ama and ask for the Emperor's instructions. Today, Yunyinli will not go to school. I will take him to my house as a guest."
After Yinzhen finished giving instructions to Su Peisheng, he lowered his body and asked Yinli.
"I'm sure I can't go there on horseback. Do you think this is a good arrangement? I'll just take you to my house for a walk."
Yinli nodded repeatedly, as long as he was not allowed to study, he would do anything!
"Also, follow your palace servants. I will send people to find them. If you get rid of them like this, have you ever thought about the punishment they will receive?"
Yinzhen said to Yinli, and Yinli nodded in response.
Seeing how well-behaved Yin Li was, Yinzhen touched his head. The two of them stood on the palace road and waited peacefully for Su Peisheng to report to the emperor.
About two moments later, Su Peisheng came in a hurry. Seeing that he was trotting all the way, panting, when he saw Yinzhen and the other two, Su Peisheng hurriedly saluted.
"The emperor heard that the seventeenth elder brother was not going to study. He was angry at first, and the servant was too frightened to say anything. Later, the servant dared to say that Prince Yong wanted to take him to the palace for a visit, and the emperor reluctantly agreed. He also said that he would send it before Youshi. Seventeenth brother returns to the palace."
Yinzhen touched Yinli's head.
"Huang Ama really loves you, let's go."
Nian Shilan was sitting in the front yard waiting for Yinzhen when she suddenly saw him bringing in a little boy. She tried to avoid it but it was too late.
The little boy was generous and bowed to Nian Shilan.
"Yinli has met the fourth sister-in-law. The fourth sister-in-law is auspicious."
Nian Shilan was stunned, Yinli? Is this young Yinli?
In his previous life, his name was Yunli. After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he wanted to avoid keeping his name, so he changed it to Yunli.
At that time, Yunli was already an adult. Nian Shilan only knew that he broke into Yukun Palace and took away Zhen Huan, who was forced to kneel by her. She thought that he was only thinking about the royal heirs. Later, Nian Shilan found out that he had the dream. At that time, I'm afraid Yunli had already developed a deep love for Zhen Huan.
But he never did anything to Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan was still surprised, but Yinzhen thought she was shy, so he said something to Yinli.
"This is my side Fujin. It's appropriate for you to call me Fourth Sister-in-law, but what are you going to do when you call Fujin?"
Yinli opened his mouth and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It was my younger brother who was rude. I hope my fourth brother won't blame me."
Nian Shilan calmed down, looked at Yinli and smiled.
"It doesn't matter. I took advantage of it. It's useless for me to call you sister-in-law. If you don't mind, please call me Sister Lan."
Seeing that Nian Shilan was so peaceful, Yinli was so happy that he received the blessing gift.
"Hello, Sister Lan, I am ranked seventeenth. You can call me Seventeen, or you can call me Yinli."
Yinzhen felt relieved when he saw that Nian Shilan had a friendly attitude toward Yinzhen.
After getting along with each other for a year, he knew that Nian Shilan was cold and arrogant at heart. It was rare to see her be so gentle to someone when they met for the first time.
Nian Shilan smiled kindly.
"Okay, then I'll call you Seventeen."
Yinzhen glanced at Nian Shilan, and it seemed that she was avoiding Yinzhen's name.
Nian Shilan turned to Yinzhen and said.
"I was talking to Shi Qi just now, but for a moment I didn't bother to say hello to my master."
Yinzhen sent the little eunuch named Xiao Ke in the courtyard to take Brother Seventeen to go shopping elsewhere first. When he just came in, he saw the account book in the hands of Xiao Linzi who was following Nian Shilan.
Yinli happily followed Xiao Ke to the palace garden. As he walked, Xiao Ke said that he would take the young master to see the beautiful scenery in the garden.
Seeing Yinli leave, Yinzhen took Nian Shilan's hand with one hand and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you don't salute me when you see me. Do you have anything to do if you come here so early in the morning?"
Nian Shilan's hand was held by Yinzhen, and she remembered many moments in her previous life, when Yinzhen also held her hand like this, chatting with her, and rubbing her ears and temples. But now, she deliberately doesn't get too close to Yinzhen. Afraid, afraid that I won’t be able to bear to do it when the time comes.
