Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6
Li Qijin gasped after hearing this. He had seen Fourteen yesterday. He looked about four or five years old, nestled in Concubine De's arms, so well-behaved. Would a child like that secretly eat ice cream?
Is there some conspiracy?
As he thought about it, the 679 system sent him the short video, and a screen suddenly appeared in front of him, showing everything clearly.
Yinzhen stood in the room with no one around to serve him. He held a piece of ice in his hand and chewed it in his mouth, his big eyes full of surprise.
It is not entirely true that he fed it secretly, after all, it was Yinzhen who put it in his mouth himself, and there was no one around to serve him.
Given how much Defei doted on Yinzhen, it was impossible for him to stay in the room alone. And where did the ice come from?
Seeing this, Li Qijin said softly, "Fourteenth Prince, how could he be so stupid? The ice cubes are kept in the house for cooling off, how could he eat them? And what are the people serving him doing?"
Having said this, he paused and asked System 679, "Do you think Concubine De did this on purpose? When Yinzhen gets sick, Concubine De will send someone to invite my cheap father over. Isn't this a way for her to win favor?"
When I think about this, it is really possible. The reason why Concubine De can continue to be favored is not without some tricks.
Isn't it a bit too much to use the child's body to win favor?
As soon as these words were spoken, the 679 system fell silent. He quickly called up the short video of Concubine De before and after the incident. Everyone watched it for a long time, but could not see any conclusion.
At the end, System 679 said in a childish voice, "I didn't realize it was Concubine De's way of winning favor."
Li Qijin also nodded, and said softly with a bit of disappointment in her voice, "I didn't notice it either."
Yes, this person had no idea what Concubine De did. She just said a few words, and the implicit meaning of her words made this person unable to tell what it had to do with the ice.
No one could hear what was said, but Kangxi was a shrewd man. He looked at the person on the screen inconspicuously, with darkness in his eyes.
Concubine De has always been gentle and considerate, and he loves her deeply. Even though Fourteen is already over fifteen years old, he still keeps her by his side.
These are all proofs of his favor for Concubine De, but he did not expect that Concubine De would use her child to win favor. So when Yinzhen was sick before, was it because of Concubine De's hint?
Did you just get sick?
Thinking of this, his face looked a little ugly, and then he walked outside while holding Li Qijin.
Wang saluted Kangxi and only after everyone left did she help Fuling stand up and sit on the chair. The expression on her face became a little complicated.
She really couldn't understand why her fifteenth son suddenly became favored?
How did you catch the emperor's eye?
Fuling noticed the unhappiness on her mistress's face and smiled to comfort her, "My mistress, this is all well and good. The Fifteenth Prince's favor is a good thing for our mistress. Our lives in the palace will be much better from now on."
Wang was silent for a long while, then looked up at Fuling. Her voice was gentle but trembling, "I'd rather not get promoted, but I want Fifteen to be by my side."
But that man was the emperor, and everything she had was given by the emperor. How could she have the right to compete with the emperor for fifteen cents?
Besides, Fifteen is the emperor's son. He likes Fifteen, so she should be happy. After all, in the entire palace, only the prince has been raised by the emperor since childhood.
Now there is another one, her fifteenth prince.
She kept persuading herself in her heart, but she still couldn't suppress her panic about Shiwu leaving her side.
Kangxi carried the person and walked outside. Just as he reached the door, he saw Yinzhi walking out of the main hall. He understood at a glance that what Yinzhi said in the short video was probably true.
He glanced at Yinzhen and said coldly, "Liang Jiugong, give Yinzhen ten strokes of the cane and send him home to reflect on his mistakes!"
Yinzhen had just seen Li Qijin and had no time to feel happy when he met Kangxi's dark eyes and was immediately shocked.
As he was saluting, he heard Kangxi saying he was going to hit him. He couldn't help but widen his eyes. What had he done to deserve a beating?
Could it be that besides witchcraft, he had done something else to his father, causing System Fifteen and System 679 to reveal it? But wasn't this beating too unfair?
Didn't he do nothing?
He had just thought of this and was about to open his mouth to argue, but when he looked up, he saw the back of Kangxi holding Li Qijin, his whole body disheveled in the wind.
Kangxi carried Li Qijin to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, still thinking about what had just happened. After a long while, he looked at the quiet people, then asked Liang Jiugong to bring snacks and various fun things to Li Qijin, and then sat down in front of the desk and began to read the memorials.
The moment Li Qijin saw the snacks, she completely forgot about the existence of the system. She held the snacks in her little hands and ate them sweetly. She didn't eat a single snack for the entire day.
It was not until the evening that Li Qi Jin had finished his meal and fell asleep while holding a cloth tiger given to him by Kangxi.
Kangxi was a little uneasy all day long, and only when it got dark did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that he had been a little impulsive in beating Yinzhen with those ten boards today.
What if what you see and hear in that short video is not true?
After all, hasn't Concubine De sent anyone to look for him yet?
Isn’t the Fourteenth Prince still not sick?
Just as he was thinking this, Liang Jiugong walked in from outside, bowed slightly to Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, Chun'e, the head maidservant of Consort De, is here. She said that the Fourteenth Prince is feeling unwell and keeps crying for his father. She wants Your Majesty to come and see him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Qijin, who was originally drowsy, suddenly became alert. He might not have been able to watch the show at such a close distance before, but now he could directly see the methods that Concubine De used against the emperor.
He said that he had to go over and see what was going on.
As soon as he had this idea, he jumped up from the couch and crawled towards the edge of the bed using his hands and feet. Just as he was about to fall off the bed, a big hand picked him up.
It’s really kept.
He struggled a few times with his hands and feet, but found that he could not get free at all. Then he raised his head and smiled at Kangxi, showing his four little baby teeth.
Kangxi looked at the expression on Li Qijin's face, and the darkness on his face faded a little. He directly hugged the person in his arms and said to Liang Jiugong in a deep voice: "Let's go."
He wanted to see what Concubine De wanted to do, and most importantly, he wanted to see whether the short video in the system was really accurate.
If it's accurate, it might have other uses.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth formed a straight line, and his pace quickened a lot.
The night wind was a little chilly, and the moon overhead cast a silvery-white glow, scattering throughout the palace. Li Qijin hugged Kangxi's neck, and her small hands kept fiddling with Kangxi's hair. When Kangxi could no longer bear it, she opened her innocent big eyes and looked at him flatteringly.
Liang Jiugong walked in front with a lantern, carefully lighting the way under Kangxi's feet.
They were silent all the way until they reached the main hall of Yonghe Palace. Chun'e said to the inside: "Master, the Emperor is here to see the Fourteenth Prince."
Defei held the hand of the senior palace maid Chunqiao and walked out with red eyes. Her hair was a little messy, her eyes were red, and she looked fragile.
But after seeing Li Qijin being held in Kangxi's arms, a cold light flashed across her eyes, and then she held a handkerchief in her hand and said, trying not to cry, "Your Majesty, it's so late, and I still invite Your Majesty here. It is really my fault. If Fourteen hadn't been crying and asking for my father, I would never have disturbed Your Majesty's rest."
Li Qijin looked at Concubine De and couldn't help but exclaim to the 679 system in her heart: "Wow, this Concubine De is really amazing. Look at the expression on her face, it's more real than those movie queens on TV."
"Who wouldn't feel sad when seeing that look of wanting to cry but not crying?"
System 679 echoed, "Yes, I feel so bad looking at your cheap dad."
The moment Kangxi saw Concubine De, he felt truly distressed, but after hearing the conversation between Li Qijin and the 679 system, that distress disappeared.
He simply nodded slightly to Concubine De, then walked towards the bedroom. As soon as he entered, he saw Yinzhen lying on the bed, crying. His brows knitted together, and he asked the servant beside him, "What's going on? What did the imperial physician say?"
The moment Yinzhen saw Kangxi, he said pitifully: "Father, my stomach hurts. Woo woo..."
After Kangxi walked in, she pulled his clothes with her hands and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
But after seeing Li Qijin, he burped quietly again and his face turned a little red.
Kangxi rubbed his head with his hand and asked gently, "Have you taken the medicine? Your stomachache will go away after taking it."
After saying this, his eyes swept sharply towards the person kneeling on the ground.
Concubine De looked at the enraged Kangxi and quickly took two steps forward, saying to him, "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. It was a bit hot today, so I used some ice cubes. I didn't expect Fourteenth to secretly eat a piece of ice. It's because I didn't keep a close eye on him that he did this. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
The step she took today was really a bit dangerous. The emperor liked Fourteenth very much, but even so, he did not break the rules for Fourteenth.
Not only did they break the rules for the Fifteenth Prince at a Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, but they also invited him to live in the Qianqing Palace.
She suddenly lost her patience.
But she didn't expect the emperor to be angry.
Yinzhen tugged at Kangxi's clothes and said to him pitifully, "It's not your mother's fault. I ate the ice secretly despite being stopped. I was wrong, Father."
As she said this, she covered her stomach with her hands and cried pitifully.
Li Qijin couldn't help but widen his eyes as he listened to what the two were saying. He asked System 679, "Is Yinzhen really crying, or is he just pretending?"
He really couldn't tell, but how could such a young child have such acting skills?
System 679 was silent for a while, and after a long while, it sighed and said, "As expected, he is one of the candidates for the future succession of the Nine Dragons. He is so cunning at such a young age."
The moment Yinzhen heard this, he became a little stiff. He looked up at Kangxi and became a little flustered.
Fifteen, he had forgotten about this matter. He could hear the conversation between Fifteen and the 679 system.
These two people obviously didn't believe him, and his father could hear it too. What if he didn't believe him? He had secretly eaten ice cubes and really had a stomachache. He wasn't acting.
As soon as she looked up and met Kangxi's complicated eyes, she cried even louder.
If his mother hadn't said that his father would come to see him if he cried, he would have stopped crying long ago. Now that he has been exposed by Fifteen, does his father no longer want him?
The more she thought about him, the sadder she became. She cried and pulled at Kangxi's clothes, refusing to let go no matter what.
Li Qijin looked at Yinzhen who was crying so hard and said softly, "Maybe he really had a severe stomachache. Who made him eat such a big piece of ice? It would be strange if a child that big ate so much ice and didn't have a stomachache."
He wanted to eat so much that he didn't dare to eat secretly, for fear that he would get sick and need medicine.
The medicines at that time were all traditional Chinese medicine. After drinking a bowl of it, my mouth was filled with bitterness.
System 679 listened to his words and nodded in agreement, "Yes, maybe he missed his father so much that he found such a way to suffer."
Each of them was in control, and they had their own opinions. In the end, Yinzhen was so upset that he couldn't even cry.
At this moment, System 679 suddenly exclaimed, "Host, have you noticed? Your brothers all have names, but you're still yelling 15-15. You don't have a name."
Upon hearing this, Li Qijin asked softly, "What does that mean?"
"It means you are not favored and valued. It means you are just like me, a child who is not loved by anyone."
At this moment, Li Qijin was silent.
Kangxi, who was holding Li Qijin, felt a little stiff all over and his eyes looked a little weak.
It seems that we need to quickly name this child.
Otherwise, considering this child's vengeful nature, I don't know how he's going to take revenge on me.
