Chapter 216 Agreement
Those who felt relaxed in the Old Summer Palace were not only the ladies in the harem like Yihuan, but also the princes and grandchildren whom Yinzhen brought with him to study.

Honghui no longer studied with everyone else. Yinzhen took him with him almost everywhere he went and would ask him for his opinions on political affairs from time to time. In the eyes of the court officials, he was like the second Yinreng.

Hongyun reads with Little Wolf every day and finally realizes the joy of being a brother. Although the child always asks questions that he cannot answer, it is wonderful when he calls him "third brother" in a baby voice.

So the two of them quickly became close.

Yihua and Li didn't comment on this. But not everything was going smoothly in the school.

Since Yinzhen had few children, and Kangxi had many, there were several imperial uncles who were about the same age as Xiaolang. So they studied together, and it was quite lively.

Since being released, Hongxi and Hongjin have been keeping to themselves and not interacting with anyone. The two brothers only stay together every day.

After Honghui stopped coming to school, they began to talk to Hongyun intentionally or unintentionally.

Hongyun was a little flattered.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the most favored grandson of the emperor was Honghui, followed by the brothers Hongxi and Hongjin. They claimed to be the sons of the crown prince and were different from their brothers, with a sense of nobleness and arrogance.

They don't even take Honghui seriously, let alone Hongyun who is not that outstanding.

From Hongyun's perspective, his two brothers, who had always been arrogant, suddenly became approachable. He was a little surprised and a little defensive.

After all, it was Yinzhen who brought him up and taught him. Under the influence of Yinzhen, Hongyun's kind nature was also accompanied by a bit of cleverness.

"Hongyun, Honghui has already gone out to take over government affairs. I heard that he has now joined the Ministry of Revenue, which was the emperor's former base. He must be very comfortable there."

"You are still here studying and taking care of the baby. Be careful that you won't even be able to see Honghui's back."

"We two brothers are so close because we can't bear to see our precious pearl go unnoticed. Think about it carefully."

Hong Jin patted Hong Yun on the shoulder, and Hong Xi indicated to him that they could come and play together when they were free.

Little Wolf was a head shorter than them all. He looked up and listened attentively. When he saw Hongxi and Hongjin leaving, he tugged at Hongyun's clothes and said, "Third brother, are they saying bad things about big brother?"

"Not really." Hong Yun hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Hong Yan, remember you must not go with them alone, okay?"

"Yeah, Hongyan understands. Third brother can't go with them either." Little Wolf nodded vigorously, "Third brother, Little Wolf wants to catch goldfish, can you accompany me?"

"Let's go, let's make it clear first, the place where the emperor is staying doesn't work, let's go to another place."

"Okay." The little wolf's voice came with some regret.

Hongyun took good care of the little wolf. He handed the little wolf, who was a little tired from playing, to Guo Wei and then went back to his room.

I didn’t feel anything because of the company of Little Wolf just now. Now that I was alone and quiet, Hong Jin’s words were like magic sound surrounding my ears.

His eldest brother has always been like a mountain. He could only look up at him since he was a child. He seemed close but was actually far away.

He is the most valued grandson of the Emperor, and the most favorite son of the Emperor. What about himself? Is he, like his mother, an insignificant person in the heart of the Emperor?

Thinking of this, Hongyun's eyes slowly turned red. He also tried hard to be a good son in the emperor's heart, but he could never catch up with his eldest brother, and now he couldn't even compare to the cutest of his fourth brother.

Hongyun wanted to go find Li, but turned back halfway. His mother was used to being competitive, and if he went there and said this, it would only make her feel embarrassed and would be of no use.

Hongyun turned around and went to the eldest princess's residence. Before he walked in, he heard Liuliu's laughter.

Yes, the elder sister and Liuliu live together.

Hongyun stood at the door and listened quietly for a while. He heard the gentle and quiet voice of the elder sister, and felt much more at ease. He did not disturb the "Eagle Catches Chicken" activity inside, and walked back to his yard slowly under the moonlight. Next to the rotating windmill, Hongyun unexpectedly saw Honghui's figure.

Honghui heard the voice and turned around and smiled: "Third brother, you have kept me waiting."

Hong Yun's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look up and look at Hong Hui. He just bowed randomly and said, "Brother, you are not with the Emperor, why are you here, little brother?"

"Third brother, you are complaining that eldest brother doesn't come often enough." Honghui showed his right hand which had been behind his back. "There is a wine brewer in the Old Summer Palace. I got two jars of good wine from him. Little Wolf is still a baby. Let's drink it quietly. Don't let the Emperor know."

"What kind of good wine is that big brother hiding like this?" Hongyun was intrigued.

"It is said that the palace of the previous dynasty banned alcohol, and the name is no longer traceable. The master modified the remaining recipe himself. Let's give it a try." Honghui went straight into the yard without waiting for Hongyun's consent.

Apparently Honghui had given instructions in advance, and the table was soon filled with appetizers. Hongyun poured himself a glass, dipped a little with his chopsticks, and took a sip. His eyes lit up: "It's strong enough!"

"Come on!" Honghui raised his glass, and the two brothers started drinking together.

"During this period, I was drafted by the Emperor. Fortunately, you supported me in the academy. The Emperor has been praising me for being a good brother these days."

Hongyun looked a little confused. He didn't do anything. He just looked at the little wolf and did something casually.

Honghui looked calm and continued, "You also know that the current school has a complicated composition. Let's not talk about the cousins, just talk about our uncles. They can't be too important. The little wolf is still young and can't suppress them. You did a good job."

"Did I do well?" Hongyun was even more confused.

"Yes, very good." Honghui picked up some food for Hongyun, "Hongxi and Hongjin are both good people. Now that you are watching, they dare not do anything!"

"Besides, the second generations of various families have been trying to get close to you. The Emperor said that you know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and you are very much like him when he was young."

"Really?" Hongyun admired Yinzhen, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this.

"Hongyun, the emperor now only has three sons, and do you know how much land the entire Qing Dynasty covers?"

"Not to mention the surrounding powers, there are also mysterious countries far overseas."

"Let's make a pact, shall we?"

"No matter who is the crown prince in the emperor's heart in the future, the other person must assist him wholeheartedly, expand the territory, and achieve unprecedented achievements!"

Hongyun was a little drunk to begin with, and now his blood boiled after hearing what Honghui said, and strength surged in his chest: "Brother, I'll listen to you."

"Fool, we all have to listen to the emperor." Honghui shook his head and finished the braised prawns.

Hong Yun smiled innocently: "Brother, it's a deal. Whoever goes back on his word is a puppy."

After saying that, he was too drunk to handle the alcohol and fell asleep on the table.

Honghui was also staggering. He asked the people around him to carry Hongyun into the house to rest, and he came out to get some fresh air to sober up.

But he didn't expect that the alcohol was so strong that Honghui vomited while leaning against a big tree.

After all the ups and downs, Honghui finally felt better. He looked up and saw the emperor father far away, holding a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose: "It's so embarrassing. You can get drunk like this after drinking secretly. Su Peisheng, hurry up and sober up Master Honghui."

"Yes." Su Peisheng quickly took out a sobering pill and stuffed it into Honghui's mouth.

"Go back to sleep. You don't have to get up early tomorrow." Yinzhen glanced at Hongyun's tightly closed door and smiled meaningfully.
