In March of the 36th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Yinqi, the fifth prince, was promoted to Duolo Beile and granted marriage to Socholo as his principal wife. The marriage was completed the following year.

The seventh prince Yinyou was promoted to Duolo Beile and was granted marriage to Nara as his principal wife. The marriage was completed the following year.

Time passed quickly and slowly. The fast time was that the fifth and seventh brothers had already been married and would start their own families next year. The slow time was that the three elder brothers were still single.

Prince Yong's Mansion

Yinzhen was fishing when he had nothing to do, and Yinsi was sitting next to him throwing fish food.

"Fourth brother." Suddenly, Yinsi called Yinzhen.

Yinzhen didn't even turn his head and said directly: "Just tell me if you have something to say."

His whole mind was on the fishhook, so he dared not move.

Yinsi didn't need to look Yinzhen in the eye before speaking. He flexed his fingers and said lazily, "Fourth brother, Concubine De is dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yinzhen's brows instantly furrowed.

To be honest, he hadn't thought about this person for many years.

When she suddenly heard Yinsi mention the news of her death, she immediately felt some indescribable emotions.

"Oh." After a moment of silence, Yinzhen responded.

In fact, it was time for him to die. After all, he had spent nearly ten years in the Xianfu Palace, which was like a cold palace, and endured those hard days like a madman. If someone else had gone there, they might not have been able to survive more than three years.

The fact that Concubine De has managed to survive until now is something that very few people can do.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes. Yinsi couldn't see his expression, but he didn't care much. He just continued, "Fourteenth brother went to see her for the last time."

There was a wave of emotion in his eyes, and Yinzhen couldn't help but want to look back at Yinsi. What did he want to say?

Yinsi raised his lips and smiled, looking at Yinzhen with curved eyebrows, "Fourth brother, do you want to know what Fourteenth Brother and Defei communicated?"

He was not lying to his fourth brother. The fourteenth brother did go to see Concubine De for the last time.

However, this was not the last time they saw each other before Defei's death.

Yinsi always found it strange that Concubine De could be so enduring and persist. He believed that unless there were human factors, Concubine De would continue to live tenaciously in this world.

But, Fourteenth went to see Concubine De, and then Concubine De died.

It's really surprising.

Yinsi's eyes flashed with interest. He looked at Yinzhen with great interest, and his tone was a little tempting. "Fourth brother, don't you really want to know? They were the closest mother and son in their previous life, but they are very distant in this life. However, they still met for the last time. Don't you want to know what they said?"

Yinzhen stared at Yinsi silently, loosened his grip on the fishing rod with one hand, and raised it to slap him in the face.

"Snapped"

A crisp sound.

Yinsi immediately covered the back of his head: "Fourth brother, why did you hit me?!"

"If you want to get sick, go back to your house. If you tell me nonsense again, I will beat you!"

Youyou spoke, and Yinzhen turned his wrist to show that he was serious.

He thought that after so long, Lao Ba's illness should have improved, but it still relapsed from time to time.

Yinzhen was secretly complaining in his heart. He was not curious about what the Fourteenth Prince had said to Concubine De. He just wanted to know when the Eighth Prince's illness would be cured.

He goes crazy from time to time, which is really unbearable.

Yinsi covered the back of his head with his hands, looking depressed, "What? I'm not sick!"

He clearly came to talk to Fourth Brother out of curiosity, what does it have to do with his illness?

It was obvious that Fourth Brother wanted to change the subject so he beat him up. How despicable!

"Tsk, people who are sick usually say they are not sick, and the same goes for people who are sick, they all say they are not sick."

Yinzhen sneered and didn't even want to expose Yinsi's little thoughts.

He slowly reeled in his fishing rod and said, "Get out of here quickly. I can't catch any fish while you're here."

The leisurely fishing session was interrupted and Yinzhen glared at Yinsi unhappily.

Yinsi pointed at himself with a confused look on his face. He was suddenly burdened with a big pot and was a little at a loss as to what to do.

"Fourth brother, is there a possibility that you don't know how to fish?"

Yinsi spoke cautiously. Although it was not good to ruin his fourth brother's career, it was not good to let him take the blame either.

However, Yinzhen did not react at all to his words. He just picked up his fishing rod and left without even looking at Yinsi.

Are you kidding? How could he not know how to fish?

Muttering to himself, Yinzhen walked forward.

Seeing that he ignored him, Yinsi quickly got up from the ground, patted his clothes casually, and hurriedly chased after him, "Fourth brother, wait for me!"

"No, go back to your own house and don't stay here with me."

"That won't do. The Crown Prince, Ninth Brother, and Thirteenth Brother can all deny it, so I have to deny it too..."

Forbidden City, Agongsuo

The fourteenth prince, who was nine years old at the time, was struggling to break off a branch.

Sitting on the doorstep, he rested his chin on one hand, his eyes staring blankly at the ground.

His mother had passed away completely, which was a good thing for him, his fourth brother, and even his fifth and seventh sisters.

But neither the fourth brother nor the fifth sister knew about this matter.

Yinzhen was dejected. He didn't know whether he should go find his brothers and sisters and tell them about this.

Mother, since you don’t treat your brothers and sisters as your own children, you can’t blame them for not treating you as their mother, right?

Yinzhen smiled bitterly, closed his eyes slightly, and hid his thoughts.

When he opened his eyes again, he had completely cleared away all his emotions.

Actually, it’s good this way. Since my brothers and sisters don’t have their mother in their hearts, they won’t be hurt by her. It’s good.

"Why ... ... "

He sighed, and thought of his handsome and graceful fourth brother and fifth sister. He suddenly felt relieved. These two brothers and sisters were the ones who were hurt the most by their mother in the previous life.

In this life, Fourth Brother has the Royal Ene to take care of him, and Fifth Sister has always been with the Royal Madam, who is also very kind to her. She will no longer become a tool for Mother to win favor for various reasons.

His seventh sister, who was only a few years older than him, had no memory of her mother to begin with, and Concubine Hui loved her like her own daughter. She was in good health and everything went well for her, so her life was much better than in her previous life.

Yinzhen was happy, and the sadness he felt after seeing Concubine De pass away was also reduced a lot.

So let it be, everything ended in the 36th year of Kangxi’s reign. From then on, he only needed to look after his brothers and sisters.

Lowering his eyes and staring at his hands, Yinzhen slowly clenched them. Next year, at the latest, Khan Ama should allow him to come to the court to work.

Even though it's many years late, it doesn't matter. As long as he works hard, he will always be able to integrate with his brothers.

After thinking about it, Yinzhen quickly stood up, threw away the branch in his hand, walked out of the door in a few quick steps, and went to Yinzhen's yard.

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi, are you there?"

"No, no, I'm not here!"

Hearing this, Yinzhen fell into deep thought. Is it true that there is nothing wrong with Tenth Brother's brain?

And Yin Zhen in the room also froze.

His mouth!

The scene was very awkward for a while. Yin Xi thought for a while before slowly sticking his head out and coughing lightly: "Ahem... Um, Fourteenth Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?"
