It was true that he tortured his daughter-in-law and plotted to seize the throne. He was just following his desires. How could that be considered a drastic change in his personality
Rong Fei's smile faded and her eyes became more distant.
"Your Highness is right, Concubine Hui, no, Concubine Hui is really guilty of her own fault, and no one else can be blamed." The personal maid said respectfully, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "It's just that the Emperor ordered us to pray in the Buddhist temple, eat and live there all the time, so the incense has lost its effect."
The Empress had been planning for many years, and after much effort, she mixed the spice into the incense that helps sleep, and then sent it to Concubine Hui's room with great difficulty. She lit it every time she was placed in the room, day after day, for five years. But it was different in the Buddhist temple. They could not intervene for the time being. If Concubine Hui regained her lucidity, wouldn't it be a failure
"Stop using it. It's not needed now." Rong Fei lowered her eyes and stroked her wrinkled wide sleeves and the rosary wrapped around her wrist. The rosary was shiny and smelled of sandalwood.
She said, "The situation is over. Nara is disliked by the emperor, and so is the eldest prince. There is no need to do this."
The maid replied in a low voice and quietly retreated. Rong Fei looked out the half-closed window. The sky was a little gray and there was a biting cold wind.
After being in a trance for a long time, she murmured, "My Chengrui is the real eldest prince. What is Yinzhi?"
In the early years, Concubine Hui and she were both pregnant with the emperor's first child since he ascended the throne. She gave birth to a healthy Chengrui first, but Concubine Hui's Chengqing was sick and died within two months.
The healthy eldest prince was a thorn in the eyes of many people. Empress Yuan secretly suppressed him, and Nara also played a role. She didn't need to check to understand!
Like a shadow, the nanny who was serving beside her felt a sore nose, "Madam..."
After so many years, the Empress still hasn't come out of it.
Rong Fei was only thirty-five or thirty-six, but she looked very old. There were shallow wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which deepened when she smiled. She patted the nanny's hand and said calmly, "Okay, it's all over. Has Yinzhi finished school yet?"
"The Third Prince has gone back to the courtyard to study, and it's time for dinner," the nanny suppressed her sadness and said with a smile, "I'll come to pay my respects to the Empress later."
"He only likes to review his studies and has no interest in riding and shooting." Rong Fei picked up her rosary and said helplessly, "He is obsessed with words all day long. Will he still listen to my advice?"
The nanny sighed, "The Third Prince has been filial since he was young. He obeyed the Queen's instructions and got close to the Crown Prince. I think he is very sensible."
Rong Fei only said one sentence, but when she mentioned Yinzhi, a smile appeared on her brows.
"Now, you have no choice but to follow the prince's lead. In the future..." She paused and said softly, "The eldest prince is not a big shot, and only the prince's family is left."
Just thinking of the person in Yikun Palace and the emperor's love for the prince, Rong Fei pursed her lips and her eyes darkened.
Who hasn’t had fantasies
You have to keep some preparations in mind, she can wait.
*****
The decree to punish Concubine Hui and the eldest prince caused a stir in the harem, and when it reached the front dynasty, it was like a violent storm.
For Mingzhu and the eldest prince's supporters, the emperor's sudden decree was like a bolt from the blue, and it suppressed their hopes.
The eldest wife gave birth to a daughter, and the emperor's eldest grandson's longing for a daughter was once again dashed. It was said that this sudden birth was related to Huipin. Until the comment "controlled by women" came out, their expressions were all extremely depressed, thinking, how could it come to this
Yeah, how did it come to this
Yinzhi had not yet left the palace to start his own government, and now he was dismissed from his position as assistant to the Ministry of War. He was nowhere to be seen at the morning court, and the officials were immediately panicked. They wanted to pay him a visit, but it was impossible; they wanted to meet him by chance, but it was impossible either. They had no choice but to gather in private, invite the once powerful prime minister, and discuss what to do with a worried look on their faces.
The end of the year is just around the corner, and Concubine Hui is under house arrest, and the eldest prince is also ordered to reflect on himself. After thinking about it, there is no other way. Should I submit a petition to plead for mercy
After the impeachment of Concubine Yi a few years ago, the censors of the Censorate, no matter what their stance, dared not stick their necks up to discuss the affairs of His Majesty's harem. After all, the Emperor's teaching the concubines and princes a lesson was just a household matter, and even the censors dared not do so, let alone the ministers who had no responsibility to advise and remonstrate.
Their hopes were suddenly shattered, and they didn't know if they would ever be put back together. It was suddenly filled with desolation and misery, so they had to suppress their panic and wait until the eldest prince returned before making plans.
On the contrary, the Hesheli clan celebrated, and even the dark clouds that had been hanging over them for many days were somewhat lifted. It was because Suo Etu once again became a commoner, and in order to raise money, he had to put aside his old face and ask for money everywhere. Now that he was no longer the powerful Suo Xiang, who would sell face to him
Within a few days, the families that usually interacted with each other became much colder. If this continued, the marriage would become an enmity. Thinking of the evidence he had collected from each family in the past, Suo Etu couldn't help but feel disappointed. The emperor wanted him to be abandoned by his relatives and friends and be hated by everyone.
But he had no choice.
The hidden silver is of great use!
He gritted his teeth, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, the master is unjust...
After finally filling the vacancy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Soetu almost wore out his lips and used up all his accumulated favors. Everyone in the capital retreated and his former power was completely lost. The Hesheli clan was even more severely damaged, and no one wanted to marry the girls in the family. But no one expected that suddenly, there would be a ray of hope.
The biggest obstacle on the prince's way to the throne has fallen. Concubine Hui can no longer jump around. The only obstacle left is... the current emperor.
*****
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that no one could compete with the crown prince anymore, at least for now, as the younger brothers were still not grown up. The status of the Hesheli clan was becoming more and more superior.
No matter how turbulent the outside world was, it could not dispel the strong New Year atmosphere in the first month of the year. In the Forbidden City, the palace maids changed into new clothes and wore red silk, and the head of the palace had a more sincere smile on his face; the first wife finally came out of confinement, and the second princess still stayed in the side hall of the Cining Palace to recuperate after her full month.
On New Year's Eve, the Empress Dowager allowed the eldest prince to stay up with his wife and not attend the banquet to offer congratulations. After all, Huipin was still under house arrest, and the emperor asked him to reflect on himself. If he still hadn't figured it out, it would be good for him to spend some quiet time with his wife.
Yinzhi had a scruffy beard but his eyes were surprisingly bright. He was not dissatisfied with the arrangement, nor did he dare to be dissatisfied. He had only one thought in his mind: he could finally take down the screen and have a good talk with his wife.
But Fu Jin had become much thinner and more haggard, and she was also much colder to him. She held the child in her arms, and asked someone to bring the pot indifferently. The first thing she said to him when she saw him was: "It is my fault that I cannot pay my respects to my mother."
Yinzhi's thoughts were stuck in his throat, and guilt and shame swept over him like a sea.
He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Then he gave a bitter smile and thought to himself, I'm sorry.
Then, the wife said the second sentence to him, her expression suddenly softened: "My ninth and tenth brothers said they wanted to see my niece, and they have been coming here quite frequently recently. The gifts for the full moon are also very valuable. I should send someone to return the gifts."
How should I respond to a little kid of six or seven years old
Yinzhi felt something was wrong. How could his ninth and tenth brothers be so kind
Could it be that he was so used to teasing the fourth brother that he decided to tease him instead
He was completely reluctant, but appeared sincere on the surface: "I will listen to you." I also listened to what you advised me in the past.
However, I still didn't get a good response.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor met with civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, led the crown prince to worship the ancestors, reported to the heaven and earth, the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the land, and built an altar to pray for good weather and peace for the people in the coming year. After finally having some free time, the father and son returned to the palace together. Kangxi sent the crown prince to take care of many trivial matters, and then went to the Yikun Palace.
First, he received the officials, then he received the ladies of honor. Now the two imperial concubines were in charge of the palace. Yongshou Palace and Yikun Palace were bustling with activity. After hearing the compliments and the never-repeated praises, Yunxiu felt a little tired even though she was holding on to a perfect smile.
She was wearing a golden gown, the style of a royal concubine, and was too lazy to take it off, so she just leaned on the couch and closed her eyes to rest. Ruizhu massaged her shoulders, and her round face, which had evolved from an oval shape, was smiling, and she didn't look old.
Yun Xiu closed her eyes, and after a while, she raised her lips and said, "When they saw me, they dared not breathe, and they were all afraid at a glance, as if I was really as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said, and would slap people at any time. Some even looked up secretly, but lowered their heads in a flash, and were extremely panicked, fearing that they would not be able to leave Yikun Palace the next moment."
There was a hint of smile in his tone, not annoyance at all.
Who asked for the news of Huipin's affair to spread out of the palace, adding a layer of bad reputation to her reputation of being favored by the emperor. Even the head of the imperial concubine who had stood firm for decades and raised the emperor's eldest son dared to ridicule her, and was safe and sound afterwards, but it was Nara who was in trouble.
Speaking of Huipin, Yunxiu felt something was wrong. It was really different from her previous behavior. She seemed a little too impatient to mention the "child exchange" in front of everyone. How could this not anger the emperor
After thinking for a long time without any clue, she stopped worrying about it. It was good that she could put an end to the eldest prince's ambition.
The torture of the eldest wife and the anger of the old ancestor were all the fault of Huipin, but this did not prevent the ignorant people from making up stories. Thinking of this, Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief. If they heard with their own ears that "the emperor is a fool", what would happen
The young palace maids waiting on the side were all trying to hold back their laughter. Ruizhu caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, so she said seriously, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. They are not afraid of you, but they respect and envy you. They respect your majesty and envy you for receiving the supreme favor of the emperor. Who in the world can have such a blessing?"
What this said...
Yunxiu coughed lightly. Ruizhu, this girl, has learned to please the emperor more and more.
She did not respond, and quietly changed the subject: "I see that the eldest prince is really stupid when it comes to coaxing people, and he has not even learned half of his father's ability. Yinreng has studied for so long, he should share the teachings, and the two brothers should improve together."
"I guess it's the Emperor's fault." Yun Xiu sighed, "It would be nice if we gave each of the princes a copy when they get married?"
Ruizhu didn't reply. Yunxiu only felt that the force on her shoulders became heavier and became more comfortable.
After a while, Ruizhu's voice sounded, as if floating from a distance, and if you listened carefully, it was trembling: "When did the prince give the holy instructions to the queen, I didn't know."
Yun Xiu relaxed her beautiful brows, not noticing anything was wrong.
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Little Nine is very filial. He secretly read the whole book from his second brother and told me about it as soon as possible. He knew about it, and Little Ten also knew about it, but they kept it a secret from the eldest prince and refused to tell me."
Ruizhu's voice trembled even more: "Yesterday, Master Fulu asked someone to inquire..."
"Yinqi is Xiaojiu's biological brother, so why wouldn't he tell her?" Yunxiu thought thoughtfully, "As for Fulu, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to tell him."
It would be fine if the news spread among the princes, but if it spread outside the palace, it would be really bad and could not be kept secret.
After that, he frowned and said, "Ruizhu, you're using too much force, be gentler."
Kangxi pressed on, his face turned livid, his eyes darkened, and after a while he uttered four words: "Yes, Madam." Please remember:, website mobile version m. computer version., free and fastest update without anti-theft without anti-theft.
