She is Shen Jiayi, the cherished daughter of a modern conglomerate, who is kidnapped and dies in a car accident, only to be reborn into the body of Suozhuolun Wanyi, a low-ranking concubine in the ...
Meanwhile, Consort Wan was chatting with the Emperor and the others about Yinzhen's daily life and even praised the Crown Prince. As for the First Prince and the Third Prince, they were by their respective birth mothers, leaving the Imperial Noble Consort unable to get a word in edgewise.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is almost here!" The Imperial Noble Consort finally interrupted when Wanyi stopped talking!
"Well, since it's time, let's begin!" Kangxi put away his smile, glanced around, and suddenly fell silent as the people below began to get busy.
In the very center was a large round table covered with a tablecloth as thick as a blanket, on which were various odds and ends.
"The auspicious time has arrived!" As the eunuch finished speaking, Yinzhen was carried onto the table by Granny Kong, and everyone gathered around.
"Today is the Fourth Prince's first birthday banquet. As his uncle, I have nothing to offer, so I'll just present this to add to the celebration!"
Prince Gong Changning placed a jade pendant on it, embroidered with a dragon and phoenix motif, clearly not an ordinary item, and its meaning was naturally different! However, he was just someone who loved to watch the excitement.
"Since Prince Gong has also added something, I can't very well not add anything myself, so let's make it this way!" Kangxi took off the board he always wore on his thumb and placed it on the round table.
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules!" The Imperial Noble Consort twitched her lips. If the Fourth Prince got this, would he have a chance to become the next emperor? What nonsense.
"It's just a trinket; I have plenty of those. It'll just add to Yinzhen's wealth!"
When Kangxi saw that Prince Gong had put down the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, he immediately knew what Prince Gong was up to. By interrupting him like this, he meant that even if Yinzhen took it, it wouldn't mean anything; it was just a ceremony!
"Your Majesty is right, then let's begin!" The Imperial Noble Consort only said this as a formality. It would be best if the Fourth Prince won, but the Crown Prince would be the one who would be embarrassed. In that case, the Crown Prince and the Hesheli people would be the ones who wouldn't tolerate the Fourth Prince.
"Don't be afraid, Yinzhen. Your mother is here watching over you. Go! Go and pick one you like!" Wanyi said gently to Yinzhen.
"Ah!" Yinzhen turned around and smiled at Wanyi without flinching, then crawled forward, cursing inwardly. He was an emperor (in his previous life), so why was he reduced to selling smiles? He was determined not to follow the usual path.
Wanyi saw Yinzhen climb to the pile of things in just a few steps, and then reach out and pick up the thing she least wanted to see, just as Wanyi was feeling nervous.
"The Fourth Prince is holding a jade pendant..." The eunuch had just begun speaking when Yinzhen walked straight towards Kangxi with the jade pendant in his hand and placed it in front of Kangxi.
"Give it to me?" Kangxi asked, both puzzled and surprised.
"Oh dear!" Yinzhen took a step back, then turned around and searched inside, finally pulling out something that made Wanyi want to die.
"Isn't this the small imperial seal that the Emperor made for the Crown Prince? How did it end up here!" Consort Jing exclaimed in surprise. This was a symbol of the future heir apparent.
"Does Sister Wen know?" Kangxi glanced at the Imperial Noble Consort, who shook her head and pointed the finger at Consort Wen.
"Your Majesty, I was unaware of this either. I was busy following up and didn't witness it firsthand. These preparations were made by my subordinates, and it was my mistake. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Consort Wen was also completely bewildered. She then explained why she didn't know, exonerated herself, and apologized.
"I've had people searching for me these past two days, and it turns out I fell here!" the Crown Prince, who was well protected by Emperor Kangxi, exclaimed in surprise.
"Here you are!" Yinzhen generously handed the small imperial seal from his hand to the Crown Prince.
"Thank you, little brother, for finding it for me. When I get back, I'll share some of my fun toys with you!"
The crown prince didn't care whether he could understand or not, he just kept babbling on and on.
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, Yinzhen continued his "work," taking some things that shouldn't have been there and giving them away. For example, he gave Wanyi rouge and lipstick, then gave the First Prince a dagger, and a book of poetry to the Third Prince. Only then did he obediently take the Classic of Filial Piety that Wanyi had taught him to take, along with an account book.
"With the Classic of Filial Piety in his hand, the Fourth Prince must be a filial and upright person!" Consort Yi said her final words to Consort Wan.
"I hope so. He's the most lively and mischievous person. It would be good if he could be a little calmer!" My mood has been really up and down today. I don't know if Yinzhen did it on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.
"If he's so good at pleasing people when he's little, what will he be like when he grows up? Won't he be able to please everyone?" Consort Jing said meaningfully, and thinking about this scene carefully, it was just like seeing what Yinzhen would be like when he grew up.
"That's right! Being able to please everyone is a skill in itself. When the Fourth Prince grows up, won't he be able to win over all the ministers?" Consort Sun stroked her belly and said this bold statement without fear!
"Consort Sun, be careful what you say!" Before Kangxi could say anything, the Imperial Noble Consort spoke first!
"Yes, I was just saying. They say girls change a lot as they grow up, and the same goes for boys. Maybe the Fourth Prince has changed his personality!" After hearing what Consort Sun said, it would have been better not to explain at all. It would only make things worse.
"It's also my fault. I often asked the Fourth Prince for things in the palace, and I also made him deliver things to me so that he would recognize things and learn to share!"
Wanyi is now so angry she could kill someone. Isn't this putting Yinzhen in a terrible position?
"Is that really the case? Come here, Yinzhen!" Kangxi didn't think much of it, not even considering how young Yinzhen was; it was too early to say such things.
"Look, isn't this beautiful! Give this to your mother." As soon as Yinzhen arrived in front of Kangxi, Kangxi handed him the dragon and phoenix jade pendant.
Wan Yi was on tenterhooks, fearing that Yin Zhen would lose his temper and refuse to come. Fortunately, Heaven heard Wan Yi's heartfelt wishes and Yin Zhen finally crawled over.
"These are acquaintances, they don't prove anything, do they?" the Imperial Noble Consort said, seemingly disapproving.
"Yinzhen! Why don't you give this jade pendant to that beautiful Empress?" Helpless, Wanyi lowered her head and earnestly said to Yinzhen.
"Hmm~" Yinzhen twisted his body and hugged the jade pendant to himself, as if he couldn't give it to her. Yinzhen hated this Imperial Noble Consort. Although she was his adoptive mother in his previous life, she wasn't in this life! He could still distinguish between reality and his previous life.
"Yinzhen likes this too!" Wanyi continued to ask patiently.
"Smack!" Yinzhen stuffed the jade pendant into Wanyi's hand, then looked up and stared at it intently, as if afraid of giving it to someone else.
"Give this to Mother! Yinzhen, please give this to the Empress!" Wanyi took a hairpin from her headdress and handed it to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen climbed to the middle impatiently and threw the hairpin directly at the Imperial Noble Consort. It hit her skirt and fell down! Yinzhen's face was extremely unpleasant, but he was still cute no matter how you looked at him.
