Reborn as the Doted Child Bride of the Deposed Crown Prince

He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...

Chapter 427 The Promotion of the Princes

"I've already looked for him, and he's been nagging me for ages! He just insists that the Eighth Prince give the Ulanara clan an explanation!" Kangxi said, quite troubled.

Although the Eighth Prince was at fault, he felt that Ulanara was no better, as she had seduced him in a Buddhist monastery without any shame.

This Ulanara clan member might have done it on purpose; otherwise, out of so many people at Ganlu Temple, why was she the only one who encountered the Eighth Prince?

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more he realized that was the case. It seems that Ulanara was also a very scheming person!

"Father, what do you plan to do?" the Crown Prince asked.

"What else can we do? Let the Eighth Prince take her in. As for what title she should have, I haven't decided yet!"

"Father, in my opinion, this Ulanara woman is probably not a person who knows shame, as she could do such a thing in a place of quiet cultivation."

Your subject believes that she and Eighth Brother may have been in love for a long time, otherwise why would Eighth Brother go to Ganlu Temple so late at night!

Even if the eighth brother wanted to marry her, he shouldn't have done something so immoral!

This would make the Han people think we are unruly and barbarians! Perhaps all the efforts we have made among the Han people over the years will have been in vain!" the Crown Prince said with great regret.

Kangxi listened to the Crown Prince's words but did not speak. He was wondering if the Han people had instigated this matter so suddenly today, otherwise why was there no movement before, but the whole capital knew about it today?

At the same time, Kangxi was also very disappointed with the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince had indeed worked very hard over the years, and Kangxi admired him.

He was worried that the Crown Prince should not be near women, but he was even more annoyed by the Eighth Prince, who didn't even spare people in the temple.

He had originally planned to give Ulanara the title of a concubine, but now it seemed unnecessary; a mere concubine would suffice.

He Xue watched as the Crown Prince effortlessly instilled great dissatisfaction in Kangxi with the Eighth Prince with just a few words. The Crown Prince's ability to subtly sow discord was truly remarkable. Perhaps the Crown Prince was the biggest green tea bitch in all of this!

"Father, I have something I'd like to discuss with you!" the Crown Prince said to Emperor Kangxi.

"Speak!"

"Father, among all the brothers, only the eldest brother has been promoted. The third and fourth brothers have also been diligent and conscientious in their duties over the years. Do you think we should also promote them?"

"Yes, I have indeed considered this matter!" Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "The third and fourth princes will be granted the title of Prince of the Second Rank for now, and the fifth, seventh, and... let's make them Beile for now. We'll talk about the others later!"

Emperor Kangxi originally intended to bestow the title of Beile upon the Eighth Prince as well, but considering what the Eighth Prince had done, he abandoned the idea.

Upon hearing Kangxi's words, the Crown Prince's lips curled up slightly. He knew that through the matter of Ulanara Rouze, the Eighth Prince would definitely have no hope of being promoted; otherwise, he would not have brought it up at this time.

However, he was the Crown Prince who doted on his younger brother, so how could he let the Eighth Prince not be promoted?

"Father, Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother have also performed very well, following Fourth Brother and Eldest Brother. Moreover, they are getting married soon. Why don't we promote them together this time?"

My tenth brother married a Mongolian woman, which shows how much we value Mongolia!

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then said, "You're right. Let them both be Beizi (princes)!"

"Father, it's not appropriate to leave Eighth Brother alone!"

“Eighth Prince is also a prince!” Kangxi said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of my younger brothers, I thank you!" The Crown Prince rose and knelt before Emperor Kangxi, saying.

"Get up!" Kangxi said, raising his hand.

Next, Kangxi talked to the Crown Prince about some state affairs. He Xue found it boring and started to doze off.

After Kangxi finished speaking with the Crown Prince, he looked up at He Xue. Was she asleep?

"Baocheng, don't overwork yourself and Xue!"

The Crown Prince blushed deeply after being teased by Kangxi. He Xue seemed genuinely tired these past few days. "Your subject will humbly obey Father's teachings!"

Emperor Kangxi looked at the Crown Prince speechlessly. Did the Crown Prince really have to follow his teachings on such matters? If the Crown Prince didn't get close to women, he worried that the Crown Prince's illness would worsen. His son absolutely could not become a monk! Otherwise, the Han people would look down on them even more.

At this point, Kangxi complained about his father, who had become a monk. It was all the trouble left behind by his unreliable father, but he had to bear the consequences. It was really unfair!
