The brothers and sisters decided here.

We just waited for Honghui to go back and report to Yixiu before we set off.

"By the way, do you want to take your second brother with you?"

Hongshi asked.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Taking Hongchang with them was a burden for them.

Besides, studying abroad has no meaning for Hongchang.

It's good enough that he can take care of himself.

Hongli said, "Brother, take our second brother with you. Opportunities like this will become increasingly difficult to come by in the future. Now that we brothers are here, we can help take care of him a little."

Hongli was precocious and intelligent, and he could speak logically and logically at a young age.

Honghui said: "Since Hongli said so, let's go together."

A few days later, Prince Yong's group prepared to leave.

However, he brought one more person with him on this trip, the seventeenth prince Yinli.

Yinli and Honghui are the same age, and they get along very well, so they have a good relationship.

As soon as they set off, the two men rode ahead on horseback.

Although Yinli is his uncle, Honghui won't let him.

What's the point of respecting the old and loving the young? Yinli is not old yet.

"Uncle Seventeen, come again, come again."

The boy's laughter resounded through the sky.

Nian Shilan in the carriage pouted and looked unhappy.

"He finally got out, why is he thinking about Uncle Seventeen?"

Before going out, Nian Shilan imagined the scene of herself and Honghui traveling together a thousand times.

Nowadays, she goes to the palace less often, and naturally has fewer opportunities to meet Honghui.

She was thinking about the scene of the two of them enjoying the scenery and playing together on the road.

As a result, Honghui's eyes only fell on Yinli!

Songzhi said, "Miss, why don't you go riding with Beizi and the others?"

Xuanyan giggled.

Nian Shilan said to Xuanyan, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at my eldest brother for not understanding romance. My little sister-in-law is here, but he is only concerned with riding with Uncle Seventeen."

"I think you've also become a bad person."

Nian Shilan blushed slightly and hit her in pretending to be embarrassed and angry.

Xuanyan burst into laughter.

Nian Shilan said, "Don't laugh. In a year or so, you will also start looking for a husband. Then I will laugh at you."

Xuanyan also blushed, "Sister-in-law, I'm still young."

"Why are you still calling me sister-in-law? You're asking for a beating."

"I'm going to call you sister-in-law sooner or later, so what if I call you now?"

Xuanyan giggled.

It was not until noon that Honghui and Yinli returned.

Nian Shilan looked at Yinli with her chin slightly raised.

Yinli looked at Nian Shilan's intimidating appearance and smiled, "Are you blaming me for taking away your Honghui?"

Nian Shilan's face suddenly couldn't hold back any more.

"I don't blame you, you can ride as long as you want."

Yinli scolded Honghui.

Honghui finally got it now, and immediately understood what Yinli meant by that.

"Shilan, come ride with me this afternoon."

Nian Shilan snorted, "You and Uncle Seventeen are too fast. I can't keep up."

Honghui said, "Good sister, I will ride on the same horse with you."

Nian Shilan looked at him steadily, "Everyone is watching."

Honghui said: "You will be my wife sooner or later."

Yinli and others couldn't help but make a noise.

Nian Shilan stomped her feet and was about to turn around and leave.

Honghui was anxious, "Shilan, I said something wrong. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said that."

Nian Shilan glanced at him and said, "You're a fool."

Honghui said, "Okay, Shilan, how about this, you ride the horse this afternoon and I lead the horse?"

Only then did Nian Shilan nod.

She couldn't help curling her lips.

In the afternoon, Nian Shilan went horseback riding as expected.

Xuanyan, Hongshi and others were itching to go horseback riding too. The gentleman looked at the silly and happy Hongchang and resigned himself to accompanying him.

Hongchang shouted, "I want to ride a horse, too! I want to ride a horse, too!"

The gentleman took a long time to coax her into submission.

He had a slight headache, but couldn't say anything.

There is no distinction between people in education. As a teacher, how could he look down on Hongchang?

Besides, he had heard about what happened back then.

It is really sad to see such a great talent fall like this.

Nian Shilan is good at riding horses, after all, he has been taking riding and archery lessons with Honghui since he was a child.

It’s just that when it comes to really running, she is not as brave as Honghui.

But as I rode a little, I gradually let go.

Zhou Ninghai followed behind, watching with fear.

My dear, please don’t fall.

-----------------

In the evening, Nian Shilan returned to the camp happily.

Her face was flushed, and cast an orange-yellow glow under the firelight.

There is fine fuzz on the girl's face, like a peach.

Honghui was stunned for a moment.

Now he finally understood why his father liked to be with his mother so much.

Yinli looked at him and laughed.

"Nephew Honghui, are you in love?"

Honghui turned his head away, "Uncle Seventeen is in love now."

Yinli sighed, "How can I have any spring feelings? I am not as lucky as you, my nephew. You met Miss Nian, but I don't even know where my girl is."

Honghui said, "Don't worry, Uncle Seventeen. When the next election comes, you can ask Grandfather to pick one for you."

Yinli did not refute, but he disagreed in his heart.

He wanted to find a woman who could empathize with him, with whom he had highly consistent spirits and thoughts, with whom he could talk about everything under the sun and enjoy the romance.

The talent show only looks at family background and appearance, and one can only get a glimpse of one's talent.

It's impossible to find someone you like among them.

Even if he wanted to choose a suitable person in the selection, the palace would not agree.

The selection of talents was organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Sometimes he felt that his nephew Honghui was very lucky to have grown up with Nian Shilan. They knew each other very well and were very suitable for each other.

Even if Honghui had three wives and four concubines in the future, the person he loved most in his heart was only Nian Shilan.

-----------------

As soon as the children left, the palace became quiet.

Li Jingyan didn't know what happened in the palace a while ago, and was still wondering why they didn't play mahjong anymore.

Yixiu glanced at her and said, "You, why do you think about playing cards all the time? You've lost so much, and you're still not convinced?"

Li Jingyan said, "Fujin, I can't think of anything else except the leaf cards."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Grape towards Yixiu and said, "Tell me, when those children were here, I didn't feel that this mansion was so lively. Now that they are gone, I feel that it is indeed quieter. Fortunately, you still have Yongjia here."

"It would be nice if there were a few more children in the mansion."

After saying that, Li Jingyan was very conflicted again, "But, if the Fourth Master were to choose a few more women, I would really be worried."

Sooner or later, there will be more children.

Yinzhen is very young now, and his future is limitless. Even if he doesn't want to, someone will send women to his room.

Sooner or later, there will be more and more children in this mansion.

Thinking of this, Yixiu felt a little upset.

Having more children in the house is not a bad thing, but once there are more women, all kinds of troubles will follow.

It’s not because of women themselves, but because the total amount of resources is limited, and in order to get more, they have to fight.

Fighting against the sky is endless fun, but fighting against people may not be so fun.

-----------------

Yixiu's guess was correct. As expected, someone sent a woman to Yinzhen.

But after experiencing the eldest and eighth brothers, Yinzhen is now very cautious, but he still looks serious and humble in the court and in front of Emperor Kangxi.

Yinzhen acted as if he was unwilling to form a clique for personal gain.

Emperor Kangxi in the palace was very pleased to see him like this.

"I never thought that among all my sons, only the fourth son, whom I least favor, could still maintain such a pure heart."

Emperor Kangxi said to San Dezi, "Tell me, did I treat him unfairly in the past?"

San Dezi immediately said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong grew up under the care of Empress Xiaoxianwen. How can you say that he was treated unfairly? Moreover, the prince is so filial that he naturally wouldn't think that Your Majesty treated him unfairly."

Emperor Kangxi nodded. He was just saying it casually. He didn't really care what the fourth prince thought.

"But recently, if anyone forgets to give gifts to the Fourth Brother, you should give orders and have someone help keep an eye on it."

Sandezi agreed, but in his heart he was lighting a candle for Yinzhen.

The emperor's suspicion is not easy to deal with.

-----------------

In fact, for Yinzhen, dealing with the emperor's suspicion was quite simple, because he himself was a very suspicious person, so he knew best how to deal with such a person.

He needed to gain the appreciation of Emperor Kangxi, but he couldn't let Emperor Kangxi think he was too smart.

He refused to be won over by court officials, but at the same time he could not let them feel that he was too aloof, and he did not want to have too much contact with them.

While Yinzhen was still thinking, Nian Gengyao sent a solution.

Last year, Yinzhen went to the palace and saw a dignified and beautiful girl who looked quite friendly and lovely.

The girl brought tea to Yinzhen and left.

Yinzhen subconsciously glanced in the direction he left.

"Do you like this maid?"

Nian Gengyao laughed, "Since you like her, you can take her away. It is her good fortune to be a princess in your house."

After a brief thought, Yinzhen took the girl back.

This is to tell those people outside that he is not not accepting those women because he does not want to cooperate, but because he already has someone in mind.

He also wanted to tell Emperor Kangxi that he was not a perfect man, but was lustful.

But as soon as the girl was brought in front of Yixiu, Yixiu's expression changed.
