Is this still the emperor he is familiar with, the old man who has the final say and will not tolerate disobedience from others
Could it be that something dirty has possessed him
Yinzhen looked as if he had seen a ghost. Even though he couldn't see clearly, he still strained his neck and looked towards Kangxi with difficulty.
How could the Ninth Prince still remember to cry
I was screaming in my heart, it’s a mess, everything is a mess.
The new life was so different from the previous one that even the knowledgeable Master Jiu was stunned.
It is said that a king never jokes. To what extent is the old man obsessed with my mother's beauty that he could abandon his dignity as an emperor and take back his previous words with a smug look on his face, just to come to Yikun Palace to see her
What’s even more wrong is that even though my mother was so harsh and disrespectful to others, my father could still laugh!
Haha, I have really broadened my horizons today.
Yinzhen's heart and eyes were filled with the word "admiration". He felt inferior to the emperor's shamelessness. Then, his admiration for his own mother was endless like a river, and finally turned into secret joy.
Old man, it’s your turn!
You were biased in your previous life and ignored me. What's wrong with doing business? What's wrong with caring about money? Mother doesn't despise you, and fifth brother doesn't despise you, but you just look down on me.
Now he finally got his retribution!
The little kid smacked his lips, then grinned slightly and loosely grabbed Yunxiu's collar.
…
How could Yunxiu know that Yinzhen’s psychological activities were so rich
When she heard the three words "I'm sorry", she seemed to choke, her face turned pale, and she looked at Kangxi in disbelief.
His eyes were clear and he looked at her intently. He didn't look like he was possessed by a poison.
Ripples of emotion were stirring in her heart, and she felt an indescribable complexity of emotions. After a long while, Yun Xiu closed her eyes, then opened them again. She no longer cared about the fact that she had broken her promise, and instead asked softly, "Is the emperor not angry?"
His face was still cold.
She had anticipated thousands of consequences, including falling out of favor, being confined to her house, and even being demoted to a concubine, but she had never expected the emperor to be so... humble.
But why
Yun Xiu just couldn’t figure it out!
The emperor is naturally cold-hearted, how could he have such an emotion as "love"
She felt strange and embarrassed to explain Kangxi's strange words and deeds with love. The dream clearly warned her that the emperor would pamper someone, but would never love someone.
… We can only attribute it to God’s instructions.
Kangxi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was finally willing to speak to him in a nice tone. He slowly turned the jade ring on his finger, and dozens of answers came to his mind. In the end, he chose the most cautious one -
"Why am I mad at you? Nothing."
Liang Jiugong was stunned and admired: "..."
Your Majesty, you make it sound so light.
I don’t know who was the one who got so angry yesterday that my mouth is almost dry from trying to persuade him!
Yun Xiu was also stunned for a moment.
Suppressing her uneasiness and irritability, she moved her lips, uttered an "oh", and said calmly, "Your Majesty, if you don't mind the filth of the delivery room, please do as you please. Xiaojiu is hungry, and I should take care of him."
Maybe it was because he was scared of being criticized, but Kangxi suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Xiuxiu didn't chase me away again!
Kangxi took a few steps forward, pursed his lips, and was about to say something when someone outside suddenly reported that the Fifth Prince wanted to see him.
Glancing at Yunxiu's suddenly surprised smile, the emperor felt a pang in his heart...
In the end, I still can't compare to Yinqi's position in her heart.
However, if Xiuxiu had a dream during childbirth, and what she dreamt was exactly the same as his, and he said such hurtful words—
All of this can explain why her attitude changed drastically and why she suddenly resisted my favor.
Xiaowu falling into the water is just a prelude...
Apart from this reason, the rest don’t make sense!
Last night, Xiuxiu said that she was jealous and vicious, and that she was tired... After thinking about it for a long time, Kangxi tasted the disappointment and grief in her tone, and became more and more certain of his own thoughts.
The emperor soon came back to his senses. He knew that he had to take one step at a time and Xiuxiu's situation had to be improved little by little.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. There is a long time to come, and I have plenty of patience.
Kangxi would never admit that he was jealous of Yinqi. He said softly, "... I still have to go to the Cining Palace to pay my respects to the old ancestor and the empress, and then review the memorials. I will come to see you in the evening."
After saying this, without waiting for Yun Xiu to speak, he put his hands behind his back and left in a hurry.
*****
When Concubine Yi met the chubby Fifth Prince, her attitude and appearance completely changed.
Yinqi rushed in expectantly. When he saw Yunxiu, his eyes immediately turned red: "Mother!"
Yun Xiu leaned on the bed and quickly looked at Xiao Wu. She saw that Xiao Wu had rosy cheeks and looked very strong. Her nose suddenly felt sore.
She smiled happily at first, then pointed at the screen and said gently: "Yinqi, be good, mother is still in confinement after giving birth, I'm afraid I'll disturb you. Go behind the screen and talk to mother..."
Yinqi pursed his lips and shook his head so quickly that an afterimage was left.
"I want to see my mother and my brother, that's why I don't go behind the screen." He said clearly, then ran to the bed, carefully sat on the edge, and looked at Yun Xiu with wet eyes, "Mother..."
The Empress Dowager said that my mother had just given birth to my younger brother and was weak, so I must not hold her hand or bump into anything. Yinqi remembered all these words clearly.
Therefore, he sat a little further away, with his chubby hands placed neatly on his knees. His well-behaved appearance melted Yun Xiu's heart.
Who can resist Xiaowu who suddenly acts like a spoiled brat
Yunxiu felt mixed emotions, feeling sour and soft, and quickly responded, "Okay, our Yinqi can sit wherever he wants!"
The Fifth Prince opened his mouth and revealed a happy smile: "Mother is the best."
…
Upon hearing that his fifth brother was coming, the ninth prince was immediately excited. But now, after finishing his rations and trying hard not to fall asleep, Yinzhen became dazed again.
etc.
Was the fifth child so lovable when he was a child
He can even act like a spoiled brat... Is this still his silly, honest brother? !
"Come here quickly," When Yin'er's mind was full of threads, Yunxiu smiled and waved to Yinqi, saying softly: "This is your brother, Yin'er..."
Yinqi became even happier, clenched his fingers, walked forward with excitement, leaned over the swaddling clothes, and stared at Yinlu without blinking.
The Ninth Prince felt a beam of hot light that could not be ignored, and immediately twisted his body, feeling a little shy.
Fifth brother, don't look at me like that! It's embarrassing.
A moment later, his fifth brother shouted in surprise: "Mother, my brother is so ugly! How can he be so ugly? He will scare Ilha to tears!"
The child's voice was clear and full of confusion, and he continued to mutter, "My mother is obviously the prettiest... My father is not bad either."
Finally, Yinqi carefully poked his brother's soft belly and said solemnly: "Ninth brother, don't be afraid of being ugly, because you have your fifth brother. Fifth brother will definitely not let others ridicule you!"
Yinzhen: “…”
The villain in his heart was furious, and Jiu Ye kept muttering:
Don't be angry, don't be angry, Lao Wu is still at an age where he doesn't know shit...
…
After playing with his brother, facing Yunxiu's smiling face, Yinqi seemed to remember something, lowered his chubby face, and stammered, "A few days ago, I accidentally fell into the pond and made mother worried."
Soon he was carried up by a palace servant, and the imperial physician rushed over. Yinqi lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. He broke out in a hot sweat, and after waking up, he heard the imperial maternal grandmother say that when his mother started the operation, he fell into the water!
Guilt and worry swept Xiaowu's heart. Before Yunxiu could ask, he told her everything that happened at that time in rapid succession.
*****
Yinqi and the fourth prince Yinzhen lived and played together in the Cining Palace, and they were of similar age, so how could they not play together
Even though they were unfamiliar with each other before, with the prince's matchmaking, the two brothers learned a sentence in Mongolian and I learned a sentence in Chinese, and quickly forged a friendship between the little kids. Gradually, they became close and dared to tell each other anything.
Falling into the water was really an accident.
Concubine Yi was the most favored concubine in the harem, and no one else was more favored by the Emperor than her. As a result, Yinqi also received more attention from Emperor Kangxi. Yinzhen was filled with envy.
Both of his mothers were unable to take care of him, but Concubine Yi was different... His fifth brother was clearly given to the Queen Mother to raise, yet he was still cared for by his mother.
The palace servants surrounded the two princes from a distance, and the princes had a "heart-to-heart talk" around the pool.
Yinzhen stared at the pond in a trance. After a moment, he whispered to Yinqi, "Your mother is so kind."
Yinqi replied happily: "Fourth brother, do I need you to tell me?"
After that, the Fifth Prince added in a low voice, "Your mother is fine too!"
Yinzhen pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "I heard that Yi'er Niang is about to give birth. If she gives birth to a little prince, you will have a brother. What if he ignores you in the future, like..."
He wanted to say, "Like me, what can I do?"
Such a young child really has no bad intentions, and every word he says is from the heart. Before he finished speaking, Yinqi got angry and his voice got slightly louder: "My mother would never do that!"
How can Fifth Brother be so sure
Yinzhen was also sulking, and raised his voice slightly: "You don't know—"
Later, the ridiculous argument turned into a childish shove.
The two of them pouted and hit each other. As a result, moss grew on the edge of the pond and the ground was unexpectedly shiny. When no one was paying attention, Yinqi slipped and fell into the pond with a "plop".
Yinzhen was completely stunned!
He shouted anxiously, almost getting angry. He gritted his teeth and was about to jump down to save his brother.
The palace servants who were watching from afar were so frightened that they ran over, hugged the Fourth Prince, and quickly jumped into the water to rescue the Fifth Prince.
The pool was deep, and Yinqi was only five years old! The Queen Mother hurriedly invited the imperial physician. Ningshou Palace was in chaos. Yinzhen stood aside in a daze. No one blamed him, but his heart was drowned in regret.
Yinzhen managed to utter: "I didn't mean to..."
There was a crying tone in his words.
The Queen Mother was a discerning person. She knew that Xiaowu's fall into the water was a coincidence, so how could she blame him without knowing the truth? She comforted him with a few words, had someone cook a calming soup, and put Yinzhen in the bedroom.
In the afternoon, when Yinqi was well again, Concubine Yi gave birth to the ninth prince... Yinzhen waited and waited but no one blamed him, and he became more and more uneasy.
He returned to the Cining Palace in a daze, ate dinner without any taste, and struggled to get through the next day. Suddenly, someone came with a message saying that the Emperor had arrived and the ancestor was summoning the Fourth Prince to the front hall.
Yinzhen's face turned pale. When he saw the Empress Dowager and Kangxi, tears immediately flowed down his face: "It's all my son's fault. I shouldn't have played by the pool with my fifth brother, and I shouldn't have said those words!"
As she spoke, she described with sobs how Yinqi fell into the water. Her eyes and nose turned red from crying, and she burped loudly at the end.
…It matched exactly what the palace maids said.
Yinzhen cried very miserably, and Kangxi's originally solemn face suddenly turned into a helpless smile, and finally became extremely complicated, and no one knew what he felt.
Yinzhen actually envied Yinqi for having a good mother!
The Empress Dowager was startled, then her face was filled with pity; the Emperor sighed and waved at him, "Come here, Xiao Si. The Emperor knows that this is not your fault at all..."
Yinzhen staggered towards Kangxi, and suddenly, a warm big hand fell on his head.
His nose felt sore and tears fell again. He suddenly made a bold move, raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes: "Father, I miss my mother. Can my son go to Chengqian Palace to see my mother? Please allow me, Father!"
Kangxi paused and remained silent for a few breaths. Facing Yinzhen's hopeful gaze, he said softly, "Your mother is not well yet... When she gets better, the emperor will definitely agree..."
The light in Yinzhen's eyes dimmed, then brightened again, and he responded in a low voice.
*****
"There's news from the side hall, madam, what do you think?" Wen Yuan took a wet cloth and slowly wiped Yun Xiu's black hair. "Noble Lady Le said that you have to pay attention to Concubine Hesheli."
Yunxiu paused while trying to lull Yinzhen to sleep, "Hesheli?"
"That's right." Wen Yuan frowned and said, "I heard that she came to Yikun Palace this morning and stayed in the side hall for a total of one hour. Counting the previous times, this is many times."
Yun Xiu narrowed her peach blossom eyes, and after a moment, she repeated softly: "Hesheli concubine..."
Yun Shu wouldn't send a message for no reason, so she must have a purpose for saying this.
The smiling words of Lady Le were still ringing in my ears: "Sister, just rest assured. She wants to get information from me, how can I not be patient and be polite to her?"
—After dealing with this for so long, has the Hesheli family finally revealed their true colors
Coming back to his senses, Yun Xiu's face gradually darkened and he sneered, "I never thought that besides Concubine De, there is another person waiting here to muddy the waters."
Everything is connected!
Colorful Phoenix Guard, Imperial Household Department, Hesheli clan…
If you think about it carefully, it is completely reasonable to say that Hesheli was the one who did the Imperial Concubine's thing.
I think all the old people in the palace of Empress Renxiao were given to little Hesheli to inherit. If we talk about establishing a queen, the first person to be mentioned is Suo Etu, and he is unwilling to do so!
After all, Soetu's confidant had just stepped down as the Minister of the Imperial Household Department not long ago. Naturally, he had the ability to tamper with the ceremonial process, thus disrupting the Tong family's plan.
Yun Xiu felt more and more confident.
But I don’t know whether Xiaowu’s fall into the water has any connection with Concubine Hesheli and Soetu
Xiaowu is not a threat to the crown prince, and Soetu really can't afford to do that; but Xiao Hesheli... should be a threat.
She slowly closed her eyes and ordered, "At dinner time, ask Yunshu to invite Concubine Hesheli to come to Yikun Palace."
***
With her sister's instruction, Concubine Le sent Qingzhu to Chuxiu Palace to invite someone. Not long after, Concubine Hesheli arrived happily.
Hearing what Noble Lady Le said, Hesheli put down her bowl and chopsticks, paused smiling, and immediately stood up: "Empress Yi wants to see me?"
Noble Le smiled and nodded, blinked, and whispered to her, "Go quickly, sister. The emperor is here too!"
Concubine Hesheli was stunned for a moment, her heart sank a little, and then she said calmly: "...Sister will go right away."
After entering the main hall, Nanny Dong came out with a smile on her face, "The concubine is here! This old servant pays her respects to the concubine."
Concubine Hesheli curled her fingers and smiled dignifiedly. Just as she was about to ask a question, she was interrupted by Nanny Dong: "Come in with me, the queen has been waiting for you for a long time..."
In the delivery room.
Yun Xiu was no longer cold and icy, and she smiled, which was rare for her, and looked particularly charming.
Kangxi looked at Yunxiu with some surprise, and heard her softly say, "When I gave birth to Yinzhen, Concubine Hesheli was very caring and gave me very thoughtful gifts... She deserves the words gentle, kind, virtuous and virtuous."
Kangxi was stunned, his face darkened, and anger rose in his heart.
Is Xiuxiu looking for someone to share her favor with
Then, Yun Xiu continued with a smile: "The position of concubine is unfair to her. I can't bear to see my sister Hesheli waste her time, so I want to ask the emperor for mercy and promote her to a concubine, okay?"
Concubine Hesheli just walked around the screen, and when she heard these words, her expression suddenly changed!
Without waiting for Kangxi's response, Yunxiu raised the corner of her lips and suddenly mentioned the concubine Dai Jia in the side hall of Yonghe Palace: "... She gave birth to the seventh prince. She has worked hard and made great contributions. She deserves the title of concubine. It is said that good things come in pairs. I hope that double happiness will come. Why not promote both of them together..."
Concubine Hesheli was staggering, her pretty face was pale, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi, I don't deserve such a great favor!"
