The satisfactory answer that Kangxi said was to strip Shunan Yan of his position as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and replace him with a small official under the Ministry of Revenue, who was mainly responsible for handling customs duties at Tianjin Port, and to have Yinreng and Yinzhen keep an eye on him personally in the future.

There are no other punishments.

Of course, Kangxi did not punish Yinreng for taking Shun Anyan to parade through the streets. Instead, he rewarded Wen Xian, Yinreng and others with a lot of things. This is a story for later.

Wen Xian originally didn't have much expectations for Shun Anyan. After they got married, except for the necessary etiquette, she lived in the princess's mansion and lived her own life.

Because her brothers had given her confidence in advance, she was not at all intimidated when facing the Tong family.

In the more than one year since their marriage, except for the first half month when they lived in the Tong family, they lived in the princess's mansion for the rest of the time.

She didn't mind that Shun Anyan sometimes didn't go back to the princess's mansion because of social engagements.

So when Wen Xian found out that he had a mistress outside and his second brother dragged him out for a parade in the streets to teach him a lesson, he did not feel very happy. Instead, he was worried that his second brother would displease the emperor.

However, she was in poor health and it was already late when she received the news, so she did not go into the palace to inquire about the news that day.

Shun Anyan did not return to the princess's mansion at night, but followed Tong Guowei and Ye Keshu back to the Tong family.

Tong Guowei wanted to ask Ye Keshu to take Shun Anyan to apologize to Wen Xian, but it was too late and it was not appropriate for Ye Keshu, as a father-in-law, to go there.

Then we can only wait until tomorrow morning and let the eldest lady take Shun Anyan back to the princess's mansion.

The next morning, Wen Xian ignored the nanny's objections and insisted on going into the palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager despite having a full stomach.

The maids had no choice but to arrange for carriages and horses, and to arrange for servants and maids who knew some martial arts.

As soon as Wen Xian walked into Ningshou Palace, she saw someone coming out in a panic. She looked closely and found that it was indeed her second sister-in-law.

Before she could even get to her second sister-in-law, she heard her second sister-in-law scolding her.

"Why are you here? Didn't Mama tell you that you're not in good health right now, so you don't need to come and greet her. Wait until you've given birth and recovered before bringing the baby back!"

The temperature was too high that day, and Wen Xian was sweating a little on her forehead. However, facing her second sister-in-law's outward accusations, which were actually full of caring words, she smiled gently.

"I've come to the palace to get some peace and quiet. If I were still staying in the princess's residence, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave now."

"Second sister-in-law, please love me more. I don't have the energy to deal with that family right now."

Guaerjia agreed when she heard it. Seeing the beads of sweat gathering on Wen Xian's forehead, she hurriedly pulled her into Ningshou Palace.

"Hurry up and get in, it's cooler inside!"

The Queen Mother in the room was also looking forward to it. When she saw the two of them come in, the smile on her face became more genuine.

"Wen Xian, come and ask Mama to take a look,"

She also heard the conversation between her aunt and sister-in-law, and naturally understood Wen Xian's concerns.

Yesterday's incident caused a lot of uproar. She only heard some news this morning. After she knew it, she has been worried, fearing that Wen Xian would go into premature labor because of this incident.

I just heard the conversation between the two and felt relieved.

Ever since Wen Xian was seven months pregnant, the Empress Dowager had instructed her not to enter the palace to pay her respects, so up to now, the Empress Dowager had not seen Wen Xian for two months.

Wen Xian wanted to pay his respects but was stopped by the empress dowager, so he walked directly to her side.

The Queen Mother had never given birth, but she had seen many pregnant concubines in the palace over the years. However, when she saw Wen Xian's belly, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Hurry up and sit down!"

The empress dowager pointed to the soft couch below and motioned Wen Xian to sit over there.

Guaerjia sat back down next to the Queen Mother. After they sat down, the Queen Mother looked at Wen Xian with some disapproval.

"You're not in good health to go out! Even if you want to hide away in peace and quiet, just stay in the princess's mansion and don't go out. Even if your mother-in-law wants to make things difficult for you, just tell her that you're too heavy and can't bear the fatigue. Can she really hold you back?"

"I didn't come to the palace today just to find some peace and quiet. Yesterday, my second brother, the Crown Prince, helped me vent my anger. I have to personally thank him and his wife."

Wen Xian looked at Guaerjia with gratitude on his face.

Although she didn't care much about Shun Anyan, she still felt a little disgusted.

What's more, this happened at her most difficult time.

If she hadn't had her fourth brother and sister-in-law's tireless advice when she got married, she would have probably gotten stuck in a dead end by now.

Even the baby in the belly may be affected.

Wen Xian has lived in this deep palace since she was a child, and no one knows better than her how rare these favors are.

Especially since she is not valued much by the Emperor.

Not only her, the emperor didn't care much about any of his daughters. What he valued was the value of his daughters in marrying into alliances to stabilize the forces of all parties.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Guarjia's face became more genuine.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this is what he, as an older brother, should do. You don't need to overthink it. The most important thing right now is your health. These past two months are the hottest time of the year, and you can't be exposed to the wind after giving birth. But you can put the ice basin outside the delivery room..."

Just as the empress dowager and a few others were chatting, Fucha also brought people to send Shun Anyan to the princess's mansion.

As a mother, she naturally felt sorry for her son, especially when Shun Anyan returned home yesterday with bruises on his face and two of his teeth missing.

But instead of feeling sorry for Shun Anyan who was seriously injured, the father-in-law scolded the couple harshly. Fu Cha felt upset and hated both the prince and Wen Xian.

In her mind, as a wife, Wen Xian should have taken the initiative to arrange for her son to have a concubine when she was unable to sleep with him during her pregnancy.

If she had arranged a concubine for Shun Anyan early on, how could Shun Anyan still keep that unclean woman outside?

In the final analysis, it was Wen Xian herself who failed to fulfill her duties as a wife and allowed the prince to cause trouble for her own husband. It was simply... simply hateful!

So after Fucha entered the gate of the princess's mansion, she completely forgot what her father-in-law had told her. She even thought about how to trick Wen Xian into forgiving Shun Anyan and going to the palace to plead for Shun Anyan.

But as soon as she sat down, she heard the most vicious-looking maid say to her,

"Her Royal Highness went to the palace early in the morning to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. Before she left, she told me that if the Prince Consort came, she should send him back to the Tong family for a short stay. She is in a critical situation right now and cannot afford any mistakes."

Fucha screamed,

"What did you say?"

Wen Xian entered the palace?

How dare she enter the palace at this time? Isn’t she afraid that something might happen to the baby in her belly?

That's her eldest grandson!

What’s more, Wen Xian actually dared to send Shun Anyan back to the Tong family!
