Rebirth: I'm a Daddy's Darling in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 213 I finally got to see the night view of the capital at 1:00 AM today.

Although Yinzhuo knew he had to get up early the next day, he really didn't know it would be this early. Just how early? Do you all remember the street scene of the capital at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM)? That's right, our Prince Zhao has finally seen what the night scene of the capital looks like at the hour of Chou.

"The person who originally devised this marriage procedure must have been a genius. It's only right to inform the ancestors before getting married, but shouldn't we consider the ancestors' rest time? What kind of good person goes to worship their ancestors in the middle of the night?"

Yinzhuo stared blankly, his arms outstretched stiffly as Liang Jiugong and his men fussed over him. The auspicious robes Yinzhuo was to wear on his wedding day were quite complicated. Even with Liang Jiugong and his men's help, it took quite a while to get the robes on properly. From that moment on, Yinzhuo had lost control of his body for the day. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about it. The Ministry of Rites had sent people over early in the morning, and he only needed to follow the Ministry of Rites' guidance step by step through the procedures.

The first step in the process was naturally to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. After returning, he had to kowtow to the Empress Dowager, Emperor Kangxi, and Consort De. After that, there was no time to rest. In just one morning, Yinzhuo felt that he was going to be ruined.

"Eighth brother, you'll have to work hard today. Come on, help your sixth brother a bit, my knees are probably all swollen."

This is only because Yinzhuo still has some dignity in front of his younger brother. If it were Yinqi who was left here, he would probably cling to him like a boneless leech.

"Sixth Brother, what are you saying? I'm just accompanying you for a walk, it's not hard at all. If you're tired, just lean on me."

Although Yinzhuo cared about his reputation, he valued his life even more. Since Yinsi had said so, he naturally wouldn't be polite to him. Seeing that there weren't too many people around, he quickly asked Yinsi to stand next to him and lean on him for support.

After completing this set of procedures in the palace, Yinzhuo finally had a moment to catch his breath. Taking advantage of the time when the Imperial Household Department went to pick up the bride, Yinzhuo hurriedly asked Dexi to get him some food to fill his stomach. He had just finished eating when Yinti, Yinreng and his entourage arrived.

"Hey, Sixth Brother, you seem to be having a peaceful day. That python robe is quite nice, let your older brother take a look..."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhuo looked up and glared at his unserious third brother, then looked up at his second brother who was smiling at him, and nodded to his eldest brother.

"Eldest brother, second brother, can one of you help me throw third brother out? What's so special about this python robe? Didn't you all wear this for your weddings? Besides, I'm not idle at all, third brother. I've seen the night view of the capital at 1-3 AM tonight. Ever since I graduated from the Imperial Study, I haven't gotten up before dawn..."

Although Yinzhi said he would help Yinzhi throw Yinzhi out if Yinzhi wanted Yinti, the two of them definitely couldn't do that. However, today was Yinzhi's wedding day, and they didn't want Yinzhi to provoke him on this day. So, the two of them glared at Yinzhi warningly at the same time. Seeing that he behaved himself, they stepped towards Yinzhi.

"We've all been through this, this is nothing. There's still the wedding ceremony to come later. Hang in there."

Yinzhi became much more obedient after being glared at by Yinti and Yinreng. He sat quietly and refrained from teasing Yinzuo. As expected, the Ministry of Rites was very efficient. The wedding procession returned exactly on time according to the established procedure. Yinreng got up and walked to Yinzuo, straightened his clothes, took his arm and led him to the door of their room. Then he pointed to a corner in the courtyard, indicating which way Yinzuo should look.

"Oh dear..."

As soon as Yinzuo made a sound, Yinreng quickly covered his mouth. Yinzuo looked at Kangxi, who was standing in the corner of the courtyard, and then at Yinreng who was covering his mouth. In the end, he could only nod to his second brother to indicate that he would not make a sound before Yinreng let go. As soon as Yinreng let go, Yinzuo lifted his leg and ran towards Kangxi.

"Amma..."

Well, I shouldn't have trusted this kid earlier. He's not shouting now, but what's the difference between his actions and shouting? There are so many people in this courtyard. If he goes over there, who wouldn't know who he is?

"Slow down. You're about to get married, how come you still have no composure? Alright, I just came to check on things because I was worried. Now that the bride has arrived, I'm fine here, you can go about your business."

Kangxi raised his hand to straighten Yinzhuo's hat. Looking at Yinzhuo in his wedding attire, he realized for the first time that the child he had raised since childhood had grown up.

"Then, Second Brother, please take care of Father for me. I'll go and get busy now. Father, don't worry, everything is fine here. After all, this is outside the palace, and it's quite chaotic here today. You should go back first thing in a bit. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring your wife to the palace to pay our respects to you!"

Yinzhuo glanced at Yinreng, who had already walked up to him, and then at the Ministry of Rites officials behind him who were anxious to urge him on but dared not come over because of the presence of both Kangxi and Yinreng. He bowed to Kangxi and turned to walk toward the anxiously waiting Ministry of Rites officials.

"Sigh, slow down, what's the rush? Watch your step, don't fall. This kid is such a worry, how can I feel at ease with him like this!"

Yinreng turned his head and glanced at Yinzuo, who had already walked away with the Ministry of Rites officials, then looked at his father beside him, whose eyes were obviously red-rimmed. He sighed helplessly, "Alas, what kind of fate do I have? I have to appease the young one and then the old one."

“Father, what are you saying? No matter how old we get, we are still your sons. They say that raising a child is a lifelong worry. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Sixth Brother being like this. Seeing him so carefree and happy every day, I'm quite envious. Father, it's too chaotic here today. Why don't you take everyone back to the palace first? With us here, nothing will go wrong.”

Leaving aside how Yinreng racked his brains to persuade his father to leave, Yinzuo's side didn't have a moment's rest after entering the bridal chamber. The wedding procedures, such as bowing to heaven and earth, sitting in the tent, drinking the nuptial wine, and eating the "son and grandson" dumplings, proceeded smoothly under the care of the wedding lady. Yinzuo and his wife, Urentuya, were like two puppets, only moving when given a command. Fortunately, they had both undergone systematic training before the wedding, so the process went without any mistakes.

"Chunxiang, Xiahe, you two will stay here and await the orders of the Fujin. Fujin, my eldest brother and second brother are still waiting for me outside. I have to go out quickly. Your people are new here and may not be familiar with the place yet. If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to tell Chunxiang and Xiahe."
