Chapter 210 Guiding Rumors

Overall, Emperor Kangxi's impression of Jiaming was not much different, but his impression of his wife was different, perhaps because he had different expectations for his daughter-in-law and his concubine.

As for Jiaming, he had no expectations; he just needed her to take good care of the little prince. As for Ulanara, he was virtuous, but the things she did to ruin Hongxuan's reputation hardly qualify him as virtuous.

Furthermore, when the young prince got into trouble, his birth mother actively resolved the matter and was quite resourceful; while Ulanara could only follow behind without taking the initiative to find a solution, and she only did so under pressure from Yinzhen.

She was neither virtuous nor generous, and she also lacked ability (she couldn't come up with a way to resolve the rumors), so how could Kangxi have a good impression of Ulanara?

In fact, this was because Kangxi loved Xiao Hongxuan too much, which is why he had such a bad impression of Ulanara. If it had been another prince's wife who acted in this way, Kangxi would probably have just heard about it and let it go.

When an emperor dislikes someone, especially a woman, and when this woman is someone he cannot easily punish, he will shift his punishment to the woman's family.

Emperor Kangxi was like that. As a result, the Ulanara family, the maternal family of the Fujin (Empress Dowager), suffered a tragedy. The Fujin had always tried to promote her family, but afterwards, they were always inexplicably suppressed by Kangxi.

Thus, the plan that the Fujin had been planning to rely on the rise of her maternal family to gather a powerful force to pave the way for Honghui was largely thwarted.

Because her family was just as unremarkable as in her previous life, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't gain much influence.

As for Jiaming, after Li Dequan learned about her family background, especially when he learned that she had a younger brother who was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and had a good chance of passing the imperial examinations, his impression of her improved significantly.

This is a Manchu taking the imperial examination, it's so rare!

Jiaheng is quite capable, and with Emperor Kangxi paying a little attention to him, his career path has been relatively smooth.

As a result, the Guarjia family rose to prominence with Jiaheng, while the Ulanara family remained lukewarm due to the influence of the Fujin.
