The busy Yinxiang welcomed a group of younger brothers and nephews.

While reviewing the memorials, he listened to the few young people below asking him questions.

The topic revolves around how to teach a three-year-old child to eat with chopsticks.

This made Yinxiang's hand holding the pen pause. He looked incredulous and fell into deep thought as he looked at his brothers and nephews whose faces were full of questions.

"Who asked you to ask me?" Yinxiang asked sincerely.

Fifteenth Yinyu raised his hand weakly and replied, "Thirteenth brother, it's me."

Looking at Yinyu who looked guilty, Yinxiang was silent for a moment before he said, "Fifteenth brother, how did you learn to use chopsticks? Don't you know it?"

What's there to ask him? He's not a professional babysitter.

Yinyu hesitated and said, "I know, but I can't remember it."

He, like Yinlu and Yinli, knows how to hold chopsticks, but he doesn't know how to teach others.

Especially for the two little nephews whose paws are completely out of control, it is really difficult to teach them.

Hearing this, Yinxiang looked curiously at Hongzhao and Hongshu, who were being held hands by Hongyu, put down his brush and waved to them.

"Come, Hong Zhao, Hong Shu, come to Uncle Thirteen."

Hong Zhao looked up at Hong Yu, as if asking Hong Yu if he could go over. Hong Shu followed suit and also looked at Hong Yu.

"Go ahead, Uncle Thirteen is a very nice person."

After getting Hongyu's nod, the two three-year-old kids started to move towards Yinxiang step by step on their short legs, and called out in a baby voice, "Thirteenth Uncle~"

With his chubby little face raised, Hong Zhao tentatively hugged Yinxiang's thigh, and Hong Shu followed him, and the two little guys each spread one leg.

"Hongzhao, Hongshu, do you want to learn to eat by yourself?" Yinxiang softened his voice and looked at his two little nephews tenderly.

Hong Zhao and Hong Shu nodded: "Yes~"

Although they are young, they are not ignorant. They still remember what their uncles and brother Hongyu taught them about how to use chopsticks.

Ama said that when they arrived at Wuyizhai, they had to listen to their uncles and brothers, so they must learn to eat by themselves.

The two three-year-old children looked at Yinxiang together, and Yinxiang's heart melted.

"Then Uncle Thirteen can ask someone to teach you, okay?"

Although he doesn't have time to teach his child how to use chopsticks seriously, it doesn't matter, he can ask others to teach him.

As for the problem that my two nephews’ little hands can’t hold chopsticks, there are auxiliary chopsticks. We can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare them.

Seeing his brothers and nephews being so cute, Yinxiang felt a little relieved from the boredom of reviewing the memorials. He said with a smile, "You guys, stay here for a while and go back after dinner."

After entering Wuyizhai to study, the three children, Hongyu, Hongzhao and Hongshu, also followed Yinyou and his family to live in the prince's residence.

Anyway, Emperor Yinxiang has not yet married and had children, and the palace is empty. Having a few more children would make it more lively.

In addition, the Grand Empress Dowager and the two Empress Dowagers all lived in the palace, and with a few children to keep them company, it wasn't so boring.

As for the fact that the child was arranged to live with the prince, the First, Fifth, and Seventh Concubines had no reluctance.

Because these sisters-in-law all have things to do recently.

Although these three did not serve as officials in the court like the Fourth and Eighth Concubines, they had been educated and seen the world, and their horizons were broad. In addition, they were capable, so Yinxiang arranged for them to set up a charity together with some other ladies of noble birth.

The charity hall adopted many homeless orphans, who were orphaned and raised by the imperial court. They could take the imperial examinations to become officials or do whatever they wanted in the future.

This charity hall in the capital is similar to the one that was opened in the Jiangnan region in the past, the only difference is that the children here are orphans, while the ones there are for the poor people who have experienced tragic experiences.

Because they knew about the charity hall in Jiangnan, the first wife and her two daughters paid special attention to the charity hall in the capital. They went to the charity hall from time to time to teach the children there and also did a lot of homework for it.

Being busy with their careers, they naturally had less time to take care of their children. Therefore, they had no objection at all to the emperor moving their children to the palace.

For example, the first wife's eldest daughter was in a girls' school, her son was in Wuyi Zhai, and she only had a little daughter who was over one year old. She also left her to the care of Concubine Hui, who was living in her twilight years.

While Prince Zhi was out at sea, his wife was busy with official business, leaving Concubine Hui and Moyaqi, the grandparents and granddaughter, alone in the entire palace. After thinking it over, Concubine Hui said hello to the first wife and took her granddaughter back to the palace to reunite with her sisters.

It just so happened that her grandson Hongyu was also in the palace, so she could take care of him.

Concubine Cheng followed suit and ran back to the palace.

However, Concubine Yi did not return to the palace, but instead went to the homes of her two unmarried sons.

I am so worried. The ninth brother is already 20 years old, and the eleventh brother is almost 18, but neither of them has married yet. What is going on?

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. So Concubine Yi, together with Concubine Gui and Concubine Ding, ran to the Grand Empress Dowager and the two Empress Dowagers for a meeting.

So, when the four brothers Yinzhen finished their work and returned home, they were greeted by a large pile of portraits and information about the ladies from various families.

Sighing with amusement and helplessness, the four brothers still followed their mother's wishes and started to choose carefully.

At the end of April in the second year of Yongzheng's reign, the emperor issued an edict to grant marriages, and the wives of Prince Yun, namely Guaerjia, Prince Dun, namely Xilinjueluo, Prince Ning, namely Shumulu, and Prince Lu, namely Fucha, chose an auspicious date for their wedding.

Once the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, the workload of the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites increased.

Fortunately, the weddings of the four princes will not take place so soon, and there is no plan to hold them together, so there is still plenty of time for them to prepare.

Prince Lian's Palace

Yinzhen was holding his nephew Hongyao and teaching him how to settle accounts, which made Ning Chuge extremely depressed.

"Eighth Master, don't you think your brother is a little outrageous?" Ning Chuge asked from the bottom of his heart, poking Yinsi who was calmly drinking tea next to him.

Yinsi glanced at Yinzhen, smiled and shook his head, jokingly saying: "This is nothing, when the thirteenth brother was only six months old, the ninth brother took the "Sun Tzu Mathematical Classic" to him and read it."

"... ...Ah?" Ning Chuge almost dropped his jaw when he heard such an outrageous thing for the first time.

She looked at Yinzhen in disbelief for a while, and finally chose to turn a blind eye.
