Chapter 154 Self-discipline Wang Hongchang
Soon Hongchang appeared in front of them. Seeing his elder brother waiting at the door, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his voice was a little excited: "Brother!"
Hongye watched him carefully climb over the threshold before walking forward, holding Hongchang's hand and asking with concern, "Didn't you go out again today? You're still young, you need to go out more often, don't always stay in the study reading. Besides, it's not too hot recently, and the osmanthus flowers outside are starting to bud. You can go and see if there are any in bloom. Then we can go pick some osmanthus flowers together to make osmanthus tea."
Hearing his elder brother talking about osmanthus, Hongchang pouted, but did not object: "Okay, I will arrange time to go to the courtyard to see the osmanthus tomorrow. I didn't stay in the study all day today. I went to see Ukuma Ma today, and she also gave me some soft and sticky cakes."
Knowing that his younger brother was obedient, Hongye no longer asked Hongchang about his schedule after he went out for a walk every day. Instead, he pulled him to the table to enjoy snacks together.
Ever since Sashiku became his companion, he had basically lived in Yuqing Palace, and would only return to Ulanara Mansion once every two weeks. When Honghui also entered the Shangshufang to study two years ago, Yuqing Palace became even more lively.
Relying on the relationship between Prince Yong's Mansion and Yuqing Palace, Honghui would stay in Yuqing Palace as long as he did not return to the Prince Yong's Mansion after entering the palace to study. This was a common fact for Yuqing Palace and Prince Yong's Mansion.
The third prince of the Yongjun Palace, Honghui's younger brother, Hongjing, also frequently visited the palace and stayed overnight at Yuqing Palace, causing the fourth wife to constantly claim that she had given birth to two sons, both of whom were born to her second sister-in-law. Because of this, Buerhe even gave a special gift of headgear to the jealous old mother to get rid of her.
After seeing Hongchang sitting down, Jingyi quickly placed the most delicious steamed bun in front of him: "Qingtuan, try it, this is delicious."
Hongchang's eyes, which were originally smiling, immediately turned serious: "Sister, who are you calling?"
Jingyi reacted immediately, remembering her mother's instructions to call Hongchang by his full name, and quickly changed her tone: "Brother Hongchang, try this quickly. It's delicious, crispy and a little spicy, just the way you like it."
Seeing his sister's change of heart, Hongchang nodded like a little adult, revealing a teachable smile: "Thank you, sister."
Honghui, who was about to call out "Qingtuan" as well, immediately covered his mouth. Since Sister Jingyi had already waded through the water, he might as well change his words. Thinking of this, Honghui said, "Brother Hongchang, Hongjing said he had posted a message for you before and will come to play with you tomorrow. He asked you not to forget this."
Hearing Brother Honghui's instructions, Hongchang nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Honghui, I have already made note of this matter. I will wait for Brother Hongjing at Yuqing Palace on time tomorrow. By the way, I want to tell Brother Honghui that today's work is done today. From now on, it is best for Brother Hongjing to complete his homework on his own."
As soon as he finished speaking, Honghui's face turned red instantly. He knew that Hongchang was talking about what happened a few days ago, but he didn't expect that it would reach his ears so soon.
Facing Hongchang's serious admonition, Honghui blushed and promised: "No, from now on, Honghui brother will not help Hongjing with his homework anymore. Father has already punished him for this matter."
The little guys watching nearby didn't expect this to happen. They all looked at Honghui with condemning eyes. Only after Honghui made assurances twice did they let him go.
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Hongchang took out the notebook he had brought with him today from his sleeve pocket and asked his elder brother Hongye questions in a serious manner.
Hongchang: "Brother, the great principle that the teacher spoke of today is to manifest the bright virtue, to be close to the people, and to rest in the highest good. Only when you know your limits can you achieve stability..."
Seeing Hongchang begin his daily questioning, the remaining three quickly shifted positions and gathered around Buerhe to tell him about the interesting things that had happened in the Shangshufang today. This scene was often played out in Yuqing Palace. Buerhe had no idea how many times he had seen it. Now, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly understand what the little guys were thinking.
It's strange to say, when Jingyi was young, she loved reading very much and was very eager to learn, but for some reason, in the past two years, when facing Hongchang's questions, she always wanted to avoid them.
If Jingyi could hear Buerhe's inner voice, she would definitely defend herself. It's not that she doesn't like studying, she just doesn't like being chased by her brother and asked questions, especially when her brother would ask more questions after she answered them according to the teacher's instructions.
In other words, the eldest brother is very patient. No matter how ridiculous the questions his younger brother asks, he is always there to patiently answer them. Didn't mother see that when my father saw his younger brother took out the notebook, he started to think of a way to retreat?
In other words, because my mother didn't study deeply enough, she couldn't answer many of her questions, so my younger brother wouldn't chase her to ask questions. Otherwise, the number of people avoiding my younger brother's questions would definitely increase by one more.
Buerhe smiled as he listened to the three children around him talking about the interesting things that happened today, and looked at his eldest son opposite him patiently answering questions for his younger son. At this moment, he felt that the years were peaceful and the mountains were quiet.
At dinner time, Yinreng also returned with He Zhu. Time seemed to be particularly kind to him. Six years had passed, and even Buerhe's appearance had begun to mature, but Yinreng still looked the same as he did six years ago, as if time had not flowed through him in the past few years, but had passed by in a flash.
The return of the male master of Yuqing Palace meant that dinner was about to begin. Buerhe stopped the children and lined up to wash and start eating. He personally went to greet Yinreng and helped him roll up his sleeves: "Why are you so late today? The children are already hungry."
Yinreng had put aside his serious expression since entering Yuqing Palace. Now, hearing the Crown Princess's concern, his eyes were filled with sweetness: "It's nothing. The Emperor stayed for a while. These are all matters of the court. They are trivial matters and are not worth mentioning."
Upon hearing this, Buerhe didn't ask any more questions. Since it wasn't important, there was nothing to say. If there really was something, the prince would definitely tell him when the couple rested at night. This was also the tacit understanding formed between the two of them over the years of being together. The prince was not like many male masters of this era who would not tell the women in the inner chambers about anything going on outside.
On the contrary, every time the prince made any important decision, he particularly liked to ask Burhe for his opinion. Burhe lived up to expectations and was able to provide the prince with new suggestions from different aspects every time, allowing the prince to avoid many pitfalls intentionally or unintentionally in the past two years.
It's said that Kangxi and Yinreng enjoyed a two-year honeymoon period because the crown prince had saved him from a crime. However, as time passed, this harmonious relationship gradually began to falter. Fortunately, the imperial physician's diagnosis at the time gave Kangxi a sense of security, otherwise the crown prince's situation would have been even worse in the past two years.
