Chapter 290 I have done nothing bad!
After all, this was the first time that Hongchang made such a formal request. Even though Yinreng felt that it was a bit shameful for his son to pursue a little girl, he still met his request. However, before that, he still recruited the secret guards who went to the grassland with Hongchang.
Since he ascended the throne, each of his sons has been protected by no less than two secret guards. He believed that there must be something fishy in the letter written by Hongchang this time. In that situation, even if he got rid of the guards, the secret guards were still there. If it was really a dangerous situation at that time, it was just a pack of wolves, which was a piece of cake for the two secret guards.
Sure enough, when the secret guard beside Hongchang revealed the truth, Yinreng couldn't help but twitch his mouth again: "This brat, I never thought he had such a mind!"
It turned out that although there were some discrepancies, they were not too big. The situation was indeed critical at that time, and the secret guards were about to take action, but the appearance of the Saker Falcon was too coincidental. For this reason, Hongchang directly ordered the secret guards to continue hiding, and then he would go to meet the owner of the Saker Falcon in person.
Well, what happened next was basically the same, except that the original love that grew over time was actually love at first sight. Hongchang fell in love with Ageqi at first sight, and later because he knew that she was on guard, he took his time to win her heart.
If it weren’t for the Second Princess Subuda, well, it would probably take Hongchang a little longer to write the letter.
Yinreng was relieved that his second son's marriage had been arranged so smoothly. He didn't need to worry too much, as everything had been arranged.
After some investigation, it was discovered that while the woman's family background wasn't top-notch, it was certainly not low-class. Furthermore, her relationship with her natal family wasn't particularly close, which was undoubtedly a significant advantage. After all, if in-laws were too close, it would inevitably lead to numerous complications and disputes over in-laws. Furthermore, the secret guards' meticulous investigation revealed all signs that this young woman was indeed exceptional.
Yinreng then discussed the matter carefully with Burhe, ultimately agreeing to draft an imperial edict and dispatch a capable minister to the Khorchin grasslands to announce it. He also instructed them to bring the young girl back to the capital. After the mourning period was over, a grand and solemn wedding could be held immediately.
Meanwhile, within the bustling capital, Yinreng generously gifted Hongchang a luxurious mansion. This mansion was grand and imposing, and even the slightest observation revealed its distinct designation as that of a prince of a county. This suggests that upon Hongchang's wedding, he would undoubtedly be promoted to the rank of prince of a county.
Yinreng had other plans for the title of prince. He secretly thought that he would not consider conferring the title of prince on his sons during his reign, but would save it for Hongye's succession as an important means to win over his brothers and win over the people.
After writing the letter home, all that was left was to wait for the envoy to go to the grassland. What Burhe needed to worry about next was the schooling of the three little ones.
It can be said that Lao Kang and Lao Deng are really fertile. By the time their three little ones are about to enter the Shangshufang, there are still several princes who have not graduated yet.
Yinreng also treated them equally. After all, they were the sons of the emperor and his younger brothers. He had never participated in the previous fight for the throne. So he focused on cultivating their abilities over the years. What's more, except for the nineteenth who loved calligraphy and painting and wanted to become a master of calligraphy and painting in the future, the rest, twenty, liked to wield guns and sticks, twenty-one, liked to study machinery, and twenty-two, liked to make money.
Since they have such talents, they must not be wasted. Yinreng made arrangements directly. After they graduate successfully, the nineteenth can be left to the third brother, the twenty can follow the tenth, and the twenty-first can be with the fifth. The twenty-second is even easier to arrange, and can directly follow the ninth.
With several younger brothers as references and accumulated experience, Yinreng already had a clear educational philosophy in mind when facing his three little ones. That is, after laying a solid foundation for them, he would further carefully cultivate them according to their interests and hobbies.
After all, everyone has unique ambitions and talents, and only teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the correct way to educate people.
Yinreng was well aware that he had already appointed the crown prince and had been committed to teaching Hongye how to become a qualified monarch. Because of this, he must not give his other sons too many unrealistic expectations.
Recalling the hardships and physical and mental trauma he had experienced in the past, Yinreng secretly vowed never to let these sufferings befall his children again.
However, ideals are full of hope, but reality is often shockingly skinny.
On the first day that these three little kids stepped into the Shangshufang to start their studies, before an hour had passed, their teacher came hurriedly to complain.
It turns out that none of these little guys can sit quietly in their seats and listen carefully!
Even more troubling was that not only did they constantly ask the teacher all sorts of bizarre questions, but Prince Hongchen even slept soundly in class. No matter how much the teachers called out to him, the young prince continued to sleep soundly like a pig, showing no sign of waking up.
At this moment, Yinreng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Those three adorable little kids were the treasures that Buerhe had sacrificed his life for! Over the years, due to Buerhe's frail health, everyone in the family had doted on them. When they were at home, they were warm, well-behaved, and caring little angels. However, unexpectedly, when they entered the Shangshufang, they seemed to have completely changed.
In fact, this matter can be attributed to Yinreng himself to a certain extent. It was because Hongye and Hongchang had been passionate about learning since they were young, showing extraordinary talent and enthusiasm, so Yinreng subconsciously believed that these three little guys must be good materials for studying.
So, in the past few years, he has been preventing his children from receiving too much enlightenment education, and he just wants them to play to their heart's content and enjoy a carefree childhood.
But now, after letting them have so much fun in the past few years, I find it harder than climbing a mountain to bring back those long-lost hearts. Just now, I sent them to school, and they couldn't calm down at all, let alone sit there and listen attentively or study seriously.
Yinreng was busy with state affairs, and Hongye, the Crown Prince, naturally had to accompany him to assist with many matters. Jingyi, on the other hand, was busy managing the affairs of the palace, all while learning how to prepare her own dowry - after all, in just one year, she would be married in grand style!
As a result, Bull was the only one left in the family who could spare the time to discipline the three naughty children.
There was no other way, so Yinreng had to bite the bullet and ask He Zhu to go to Kunning Palace to invite the Queen Mother over.
When Buerhe hurried over, she saw three cute little kids standing there timidly, blinking their big eyes and looking innocent, which made people feel pity. After Buerhe asked in detail and understood the whole story, she raised her head in annoyance and glared at Yinreng, who was sitting at the top seat.
Yinreng naturally sensed Bull's unfriendly gaze, and without needing to guess, he could read the underlying meaning. Recalling his earlier boasts, only to be ruthlessly slapped in the face by these three little guys' actions, Yinreng felt his face flush with embarrassment, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
However, Buerhe didn't dwell on the matter. She simply waved her hand, signaling the maidservant beside her to take the three children back to Kunning Palace. For Yinreng, taking this precious time to attend to household matters was a real achievement. After all, the Maoists had recently been harassing civilians in border areas, raising tensions. As the ruler of a nation, he needed to quickly find time to discuss strategies with his ministers to address the current situation.
Even though the three children had been away from home for less than two hours, they were naturally active and lively, and their frequent exercise made them hungry quickly. So, upon their return to Kunning Palace, the first thing Buerhe did was to order the palace maids to quickly serve delicious snacks so that these little darlings could fill their bellies.
Seeing the children wolfing down their food with such contentment, Burhe finally felt a sense of relief. After the children finished their snacks and washed up, Burhe turned serious. "Tell me, what happened this morning? This is the first time my mother has been called to the head of the household! I heard the teachers have complained to your father-in-law."
After saying that, Burhe's eyes swept over the faces of each child in turn. The Third Prince had a look of "I have something to say", the Fourth Prince was just confused, and the Fifth Prince was even more so. If it weren't for the fact that he had just eaten the snack, Burhe would have thought that this son was still asleep.
At this time, the Third Prince, Hongyan, stepped forward and said, "Mother, we really can't be blamed entirely for this. Think about it, Fifth Brother just loves to sleep, and those teachers only know how to read in class, reciting over and over again, just like monks chanting sutras. In such a boring environment, isn't it the perfect atmosphere for Fifth Brother, who loves to sleep, to fall asleep? I'm afraid anyone would find it hard to resist, right?"
As for Fourth Brother, he simply has a lot of questions on his mind. Remember what Big Brother once said, "A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts?" And Big Sister also once said that the teachers in our Shangshufang are all renowned Confucian scholars. While we're not entirely sure what a Confucian scholar is, since Big Brother and Big Sister agree that they know everything, isn't it only right that I help Fourth Brother resolve his confusion?
As for my son, he's just tracing with a brush, so there's nothing wrong with him, right?"
