Chapter 15: Conferred the title of Beile
Yihuan was hugging the tree, breathing softly. She had overestimated the physical fitness of this pampered body, and also underestimated the height of the tree. These two variables meant that she was now unable to climb up and dared not go down. This was a difficult situation.

When Yinzhen arrived, he saw Yihuan hugging the tree and not daring to move. He wanted to scold her but was afraid of scaring her, so he could only suppress his anger and stretch out his hand: "Fujin, slowly let go, I'll catch you from below, don't be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Yihuan gathered up her courage and slid down slowly, only her palms and thighs were scratched and it hurt a little.

Honghui also realized that things were not going well, and he came over with tears in his eyes: "Mother! Mother!"

"Honghui, be good. Mom is fine. Go and play." Yihuan endured the pain.

Yinzhen picked up Yihuan by the waist and said, "Honghui, follow me."

The group returned to the main courtyard.

In the east courtyard, the eldest princess looked up at the sky with a hint of longing in her eyes.

But she didn't dare, because the person her mother hated most was Song E'niang, who killed her little brother.

The second person he hated was his mother, because his younger brother Honghui was very likable.

The third person she hated was herself. The eldest princess felt wronged and wanted to cry. She also wanted to be a boy so that she could play with her younger brother Honghui, and her mother would not have to take bitter medicine every day.

I really want to fly a kite!

Upon hearing the news, the court doctor rushed over to treat Yihuan's wound and apply medicine. Yinzhen and Honghui's extremely similar faces curved in similar arcs. The servants in the main courtyard were also silent and walked around the main house without being told.

Nanny Chen gritted her teeth and came in to help the court doctor.

Yihuan ignored the pain and said with a smile: "Thank goodness you are here, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself today."

Yinzhen hummed in confusion and looked at Yihuan quietly, waiting for her to continue.

Yihuan swallowed, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Honghui put his hands on his waist angrily, and said in a baby voice: "Mother is not obedient!"

Yinzhen picked up Honghui and placed him on his lap, feeding him a piece of cake: "Honghui, we all know that we shouldn't climb trees, right?"

"That's right, mother deserves to be beaten." Honghui continued.

"What are you beating him for?" Yinzhen was a little confused. He considered himself to be a kind father in front of Honghui and had never used family rules.

Honghui felt very comfortable sitting in Yinzhen's arms, and ordered him to get him some water to drink: "If Honghui is not obedient, mother will beat him. If mother is not obedient, father will beat him."

After listening to this, Yihuan didn't know whether to praise Honghui for his good logic or reflect on her own education. How could he undermine his mother in front of his father? Shouldn't his father and mother be more on his mother's side?
I really love you in vain, little fat boy.

"When did Fu Jin fight with Hong Hui?" Yinzhen was a little curious. Everyone could see how much Yi Huan valued the child. How could she bear to hit the child?
Yihuan could only confess: "Honghui prefers sweets, but he is still young and his teeth are still growing. I have prescribed a certain amount for him: one piece of milk cake a day and one piece of nougat every other day."

"This kid coaxed the nurse to feed him in private, and I found out, so I spanked him a few times. Maybe it hurt so much that he remembered it."

Yihuan said sternly, "I think since we have made a promise, we must keep it. Honghui is smart, and he must not lose his integrity."

Yinzhen finally smiled: "You are indeed good at teaching Honghui Fu Jin, but a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Fu Jin, do you know your mistakes today?"

"Yes." Yihuan bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

Honghui clapped his hands and stuck out his little butt: "Father, hit Honghui."

Yihuan felt like she was healed all of a sudden. What the fat boy meant was that since mother knew she was wrong, then father should hit himself instead of mother.

Yinzhen was touched by the smile on Yihuan's face, and gently patted Honghui's little butt: "Go and play, and don't eat secretly. Next time, if father finds out, I will punish you with a ruler." Honghui covered his little butt and ran away.

The court physician left behind a replacement of the ointment and went out. Nanny Chen chased him out to ask about the dietary restrictions during the past few days, leaving only Yihuan and Yinzhen in the room.

Yihuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Yinzhen suddenly stretched out his hand, avoiding Yihuan's scratches and letting her lie on his legs.

"Fujin's educational methods are very good, so we should set an example."

Before Yihua understood what it meant, she felt a light slap on her butt.

The next second, Yihuan's cheeks turned red, and physiological shyness took over. She struggled to get up, but Yinzhen had anticipated this and suppressed Yihuan's body.

Another palm fell, and Yihuan felt that Yinzhen's dry and large palm stayed there for a few seconds longer this time, and he even rubbed it.

Suddenly, the punishment changed completely. Yinzhen swallowed his saliva and felt a soft touch on his palm, and he was reluctant to leave.

"Fujin... do you know your mistake?"

Yihuan raised her head quickly: "I know, I know, Master, please let me go first."

For a moment, Yihuan didn't care about hierarchy and blurted out "I, you, and so on", but Yinzhen didn't mind.

"In order to ensure that Fu Jin receives a full education, let's continue." Yinzhen laughed in a low voice, with charm in his voice.

Yihuan admitted that she was seduced, and after thinking it over carefully, she didn't really feel disgusted. She blushed and hid in Yinzhen's arms without resisting.

Because of Yihuan's injury, Yinzhen didn't make it to the end, but they both enjoyed it very much.

***
May of the thirty-seventh year of the Kangxi reign.

Kangxi issued an edict to confer the title of Prince of Zhi on his eldest son, the title of Prince of Cheng on his third son, the title of Prince of Cheng on his fourth son Yinzhen, the title of Prince of Yinzhen on his fifth son, the title of Prince of Yinzhen on his seventh son, and the title of Prince of Yinzhen on his eighth son.

The newly built Fourth Prince's Mansion is filled with joy.

Yinzhen felt a little regretful that he was not conferred the title of Prince together with his third brother, and he was even more ashamed and annoyed that his eighth brother was able to be conferred the title of Beile together with him.

All the princes were given titles, and their wives made an appointment to go to the palace together to express their gratitude.

The eldest princess is getting older, and this time Yihuan plans to take her and Honghui with her. Empress Defei occasionally asks about her granddaughter, which shows that she is worried about her.

Yihuan and her group first paid their respects to Concubine De in Yonghe Palace. Honghui was already very familiar with this place. After greeting her politely, he quickly leaned on Concubine De's legs, raised his little chin and began to talk about his own new stories.

Things like Honghui learned a new character, Honghui raced horses with his uncle, Honghui was taught a lesson by his father, etc.

The daily routine was trivial, and Concubine De listened very carefully, giving advice from time to time. The two generations of grandmother and granddaughter got along very well.

The eldest princess sat quietly beside Honghui, listening attentively without any impatience.

After observing his words and deeds, Concubine De gave the eldest princess a set of headgear and said to Yihua, "The eldest princess is very well behaved, and Honghui is innocent and lovely. Let's go to pay respects to the empress dowager together later, and be graceful."

"Yes."
