"And I didn't intend to make our affairs public or tell my brothers. I also thought that we were close brothers and didn't want to hide our affairs from you."

Prince Yi understood what Yinqi said, but unfortunately the reality was not as simple as Yinqi thought.

There are some things that others will not discover unless you tell them, but after all, Yinqi is still a child (a child of 186 months old), and it is enough for them, his brothers, to know what he cannot think of.

However, although Prince Yi thought so, he still smiled and pinched Yinqi's nose to remind him.

"Then why don't you two marry and stick together every day? How can others not notice it?"

That's true. After hearing what Prince Yi said, Yinqi's big eyes rolled around as he started thinking. Prince Yi thought he was so cute, so he pinched his little face again, but didn't say anything to disturb Yinqi's thinking.

That night, after Jinzhong secretly returned to Changqiu Palace to meet Yinqi, Yinqi was leaning in Jinzhong's arms and stroking Xiao Xiaobai (the child of the pandas Xiaobai and Xiaohei) and told him what happened today.

"I really haven't thought about this before. What should we do if someone interferes and asks us to get married in the future?"

Looking up, Yinqi looked into Jinzhong's eyes and asked.

Jinzhong, who had been looking down at Yinqi, saw him looking at him, first bent down and kissed Yinqi's forehead, then thought for a moment and answered Yinqi.

"No minister would be so bored as to stare at us all the time, right?"

Of course, Yin Qi also knew that unless someone was extremely bored, this kind of thing would most likely not happen.

But isn't this also a metaphor? So he raised his head and bit Jinzhong's chin, causing Jinzhong to hiss and roar in pain, before he let go and spoke viciously.

"If, I mean if, if someone insists on reporting, what should we do? I'm telling you, don't try to fool me, just speak up."

"Okay, okay, let me think about it."

There was no other way. Since Yinqi had already asked for it, Jinzhong had to agree.

In fact, as early as last year, after Yinqi's fifteenth birthday, some people in the court had been ready to ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for Yinqi.

(In the Qing Dynasty, princes had to get married after the age of 15, but Hongshi had already made an exception, so the rules were not followed here.)

After all, with Yinqi's special status, in the eyes of clan relatives and ministers, he looked like a piece of exquisite pastry emitting golden light.

In their eyes, if one of their family members was lucky enough to marry Yinqi, it would mean that the child born by his woman would have a high chance of inheriting Yinqi's position as the iron-hat prince.

And as long as Yinqi and the person who inherits Yinqi's title in the future do not make serious mistakes, this title can, at the very least, preserve the glory of their family for a hundred years.

Therefore, for those who want to rely on women to get to the top, Yinqi's marriage can be said to be the thing that matters to them second only to the Emperor's selection of concubines.

Unfortunately, after they brought up the matter, Yongzheng's attitude was unusually tough.

It is said that Yinqi is still young, and the matter of marriage must wait until he has passed the coming-of-age ceremony.

Although the ministers wanted to fight for it again, when the first minister who requested a second review was demoted by Yongzheng on the spot, no one else could say a word.

After all, it's not easy for anyone to get promoted. If you get demoted because of this, to be honest, it's not worth it.

Moreover, the emperor also said that he was just pushing it to the point where Prince Yu came of age, not directly rejecting it.

It was just a matter of waiting for four or five years, and there were more than one girls of the right age in the family, so in the end this matter was temporarily put on hold.

As for why Yongzheng was determined not to let Yinqi get married, one reason was that he was afraid of Yinqi's personality and that he would definitely ask to move out after getting married.

Secondly, he had also asked Yinqi about his opinion in a roundabout way. After seeing Yinqi's obvious resistance and the fact that Yinqi ran away and did not dare to return to the palace for more than a month the day after he asked, Yongzheng had no choice but to suppress the matter in the deepest part of his heart.

Later, Prince Zhi also talked about this matter with Jinzhong, and at the same time reminded Jinzhong not to tell this to Yinqi.

Unfortunately, Prince Zhi trusted the wrong person. When he returned home that night, Jinzhong told Yinqi about the incident.

But Yinqi was drowsy after exercising at that time, so he just nodded in agreement and fell asleep. Jinzhong said, "I told you, but you didn't remember it, so don't blame me," and never mentioned it again after that.

Now that this matter was brought up again, Jinzhong thought about it carefully, then put his chin on Yinqi's head and said.

"According to the temper of those ministers, they may obey if you refuse them once or twice, but if you refuse them too many times, who knows what unpleasant things they might say, unless..."

"Unless what?"

This hesitant look was really annoying. Yin Qi suddenly turned around, laid in Jinzhong's arms and pinched his strong chest. Not satisfied, he touched down along his chest muscles.

Jinzhong took a breath and felt as if he was being scratched by a kitten again and again. He felt itchy and had no choice but to grab Yinqi's hand and kiss it.

"Unless we stay away from the capital for a long time and hide from them, they won't pay much attention to us."

What kind of method is this? Yinqi felt that this was not a good idea, so after listening to Jinzhong's words, he frowned and buried his face in Jinzhong's arms.

"If we have to hide away for such a trivial matter, why don't we just go public with it?"

"I don't have a throne to inherit like my brother, and I don't have a younger brother who needs to wait for me to get married. Why are these people so annoying and want to control everything?"

Jinzhong certainly knew that this was not a good idea, so he touched Yinqi's back soothingly.

“I know this is a bad idea, but there is no other way to deal with these ministers. As long as you don’t get married, they will find a thousand reasons to urge you.

Of course, as you said, if we don't get married, it won't hinder the continuation of the Qing Dynasty. But some people don't think so.

Unless my brother is not afraid of trouble and can stand those people's nagging, we can also turn a blind eye to it and keep calm, then we don't have to be afraid so much."

Yinqi felt annoyed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when Jinzhong said the second half, Yinqi's eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, anyway, the emperor is nagged by those ministers every day, so our matter doesn't matter to him. In this case, we can only trouble the emperor to take the responsibility for us."

Thinking of how Yongzheng was confused by the noise made by those ministers, Yinqi felt much better instantly.

However, thinking that this matter would eventually trouble Yongzheng, Yinqi felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart, so he ignored Jinzhong's pulling, stood up and took Jinzhong and Xiao Xiaobai back to the space, preparing to find something to give to Yongzheng.
