It wasn't considered a major event for Fourth Master to take the princes to Zhili.
In recent years, Fourth Master often went to Zhili in the winter, but this was the first time he took the princes on such a large scale.
Previously, only the Second Prince had gone twice. No other princes had been there.
This year, the Second Prince, Third Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince all went together.
It turns out that as the Fourth and Fifth Princes grew year by year, the Second Prince became less outstanding.
The Third Prince was famously inept, but with the three younger brothers going, how could he not go and yet avoid looking bad?
Thus, they went together.
The Sixth Prince was just a tagalong to the Fifth Prince.
Oh, by the way, just the day after Consort Jin's birthday, Fourth Master bestowed a name upon the Sixth Prince: Hongzhou.
Ye Zao no longer cared about these matters, as this was not the Qing Dynasty she knew.
