After playing a trick on Yinzhi, Yinreng decisively left the Ministry of Rites and turned to go to the Ministry of Revenue.

Fortunately, the two yamen were not far from each other, otherwise Yinreng would have been reluctant to leave.

Note that he just didn't want to walk, but he still had to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Because he almost forgot one thing, that is, when he entered the palace yesterday, he accidentally broke the jade gourd that Xiao Shiliu treasured so much.

Because the jade gourd was given by his fourth brother, the boy cried so hard that his eyes were swollen. If he hadn't stopped him, he might have wanted to run out of the palace with the "body" of the jade gourd to complain to his fourth brother.

In this regard, Yinreng coaxed his five-year-old brother with all his might, but the matter of the jade gourd was not over yet. He promised Xiao Shiliu that he would compensate him with an identical one. If it was different ...

Hiss, thinking of the deafening scene of the devilish sound, Yinreng quickly shook his head.

I dare not even think about it. Next time, he will never tease children again. It is not fun at all.

Yinreng sighed deeply and turned his attention to how to compensate Xiao Shiliu with an identical jade gourd.

He didn't dare to tell his fourth brother directly. After all, if his fourth brother knew that he was such an unreliable brother, it would be bad if he taught him a lesson, but it would also ruin his image in his eyes.

But if he didn't tell his fourth brother directly, he didn't know how to get an identical jade gourd.

Firstly, he had never seen Xiao Shiliu's precious jade gourd much, so he could only get a rough idea of ​​it from the fragments pieced together.

Secondly, his fourth brother would put a unique mark on every gift he gave out, he said it was something... a watermark?

It’s a bit confusing, but it doesn’t stop Yinreng from feeling extremely melancholy.

Any jade gourd will do, but the main thing is to let Fourth Brother add his watermark on it, otherwise, Little Sixteen will never give up.

Yinreng muttered to himself and soon arrived at the Ministry of Revenue.

He did not ask anyone to inform him and walked into the door with a swagger. The person he met head-on was the Minister of Revenue who was sitting on the steps at the door in an unruly manner.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, looking up and down at the Minister of Revenue in disbelief, then walked up to him and said hello: "Hey, Master Chen, why are you so careless about your image today?"

As the former crown prince, Yinreng had some superficial friendship with every minister of honor in the court. Besides, he no longer cared about his image, so he spoke more casually with the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue did not find it strange. After all, he knew that Prince Kang had always been like this and was even more casual when talking to Chang Tai. It was considered good as it was now.

He stood up and saluted respectfully, and the Minister of Revenue said in a low voice, "Your humble servant pays respect to Prince Kang."

"Get up, get up, and stop being so polite."

Yinreng put his arm around the Minister of Revenue's shoulders and asked curiously, "Why are you sitting here when you haven't told me yet?"

Faced with Prince Kang's familiarity and physical advances, the Minister of Revenue twitched his lips, and then he slowly explained: "Your Highness, I am just thinking about something."

"What's the matter?" Yinreng blinked his raised almond-shaped eyes, curiosity written all over his face.

This made the Minister of Revenue very helpless. He coughed and said, "It's just a small matter. Your Majesty, please don't ask too much."

Should he just say directly that he is considering resigning and retiring?

The Minister of Revenue stroked his graying beard lightly, sighing in his heart. He was getting old, and many of his former colleagues had already retired. Most of the officials in the court were young people now, and it was difficult for an old man like him to mix in with the young people.

Sometimes he wondered whether he should learn from others and retreat while the going gets tough, but every time the time came, Prince Yong would assign him a series of tasks, and the mountain of official duties left him no time to think about anything else.

But as soon as the matter was settled, he began to think about retirement and enjoying his old age.

In fact, this idea is becoming more and more intense.

After all, he has worked really hard in the past two years.

Although he knew that Prince Yong valued him, sometimes he didn't have to value him so much.

He is already an old man over fifty years old. Is it really a good idea to use him like this?

Every time he finished working at his desk and stood up, he seemed to hear his waist creaking. If this continued, he was afraid that his waist would break one day.

So the Minister of Revenue thought more and more that this was not going to work. It seemed that he could no longer get back on track. Otherwise, why not join his old colleagues and resign to enjoy retirement? !

The Minister of Revenue was thinking about this matter seriously, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down to think about it, he ran into a very curious and gossipy prince.

Facing Prince Kang's burning gaze, the Minister of Revenue lowered his head somewhat uncontrollably and chose to change the subject: "Um... Your Majesty, are you here to see the Fourth Master?"

Please, don't question him anymore, he hasn't decided whether to resign or not!

Although Yinreng was still very curious about what the Minister of Revenue was thinking just now, now that he was asked this question, he finally remembered why he came here.

I weighed the pros and cons in my mind whether it would be better to continue gossiping about the Minister of Revenue, or to go find my fourth brother and resolve the matter of the jade gourd.

Yinreng decisively chose the latter.

As for the former, they will always find opportunities to continue gossiping.

But the latter ...

If he doesn't solve the problem quickly today, and his fourth brother goes to the palace tomorrow and meets Little Sixteen and finds out what he has done, he will be doomed!

So after weighing the pros and cons, Yinreng immediately let go of the Minister of Revenue and said with a smile, "Indeed, where is your Fourth Master?"

The Minister of Revenue, who was finally let go, took a step back as if he had received a divine grace. He breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the office at the back, saying, "The Fourth Master will be working there. Your Highness, please feel free to go over there."

You should go find the Fourth Master quickly and let this innocent man go.

The Minister of Revenue was already afraid of Yinreng. He had discovered that without the constraints of the crown prince's position, the Second Prince was becoming more and more true to his nature.

Yinreng didn't pay any more attention to him. He waved his hand casually and went straight to find Yinzhen.

He didn't even knock on the door. He rushed in and started to make a scene while holding Yinzhen's hand: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I just found out that you actually gave Little Sixteen a jade gourd. I don't care, I want it too!"

"I want three!"

"It has to be exactly the same as Little Sixteen's jade gourd!"
