Emperor Kangxi certainly didn't expect that his little fourth prince, Yinzhen, would have such a temper. He was so angry over a dog that he fainted and refused to wake up.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel resentment towards Consort Yi of Yikun Palace. If she hadn't killed that dog, his son would still be in a coma. Just now, Imperial Physician Li said that it was still uncertain when he could recover.

In the following months, Emperor Kangxi visited Yikun Palace less often, and he treated Consort Yi with hostility. During that time, Consort Yi herself did not know what she had done to offend the Emperor, and she felt very resentful.

Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, Kangxi is looking at the fourth prince, Yinzhen, who is still unconscious, and I'm looking at a plate of porridge being warmed on a small stove. I know that Zhijia's son hasn't eaten anything for a day and a night.

Upon seeing this, something seemed to trigger Kangxi's anger, causing him to fly into a rage and berate everyone serving him. In the end, Kangxi left Chengqian Palace in a fit of fury.

For the next week, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen only regained consciousness for a short period at night. He was vaguely fed by someone and held Duofu, who had become a bit chubby, tightly in his arms. Duofu was in pain from the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's hug, but he did not resist. Instead, he obediently licked back.

Not long after, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen fell into a deep sleep again. Each time, Su Peisheng had to exert a lot of effort to take Duofu out of the Fourth Prince's arms and put him back under the bed.

Kangxi's mood this week was like a thunderstorm, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and he lost his temper every single day.

Liang Jiugong wore a bitter face every day, but he only dared to suffer in secret, constantly praying in his heart that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen would wake up soon.

Because Consort Yi had served tea and snacks to His Majesty at the Hall of Mental Cultivation last time, His Majesty somehow carved a hat on her face for being disrespectful in front of the palace and confined her to Yikun Palace, without specifying how long she would be confined.

Now everyone in the harem is living in fear, and no one dares to bring pastries or anything else to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Liang Jiugong was quite disappointed for a while. The day His Majesty punished Consort Yi, his mood was noticeably relieved. He wished that the concubines in the harem would come to stroll around the Yangxin Hall more often to lighten his burden.

Kangxi looked at the booklet in his hand, which was handed over by the Tong family. It said that they wanted to change the imperial genealogy of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. When he saw the words "change the imperial genealogy" again, Kangxi couldn't help but think of his little cousin's dying plea for him to change the imperial genealogy of her son. At that time, he did not agree due to political considerations.

When Kangxi thought of the disappointment in his little cousin's eyes when he didn't give a clear answer, which she couldn't hide at all, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Now that his little cousin is gone, he can't find another concubine in the harem who loves him for who he is. Every one of them in the harem is either after his power or for their own family.

Only his own cousin entered the harem because of him.

Kangxi's gaze softened slightly. He should have granted his cousin's wish back then, allowing her to leave with a smile.

After reading the memorial in his hand for a while, Kangxi thought of the past few days when he sent someone to Yonghe Palace, intending to ask Consort De to go to Chengqian Palace to take care of the sick Fourth Prince Yinzhen. Little did he expect that Consort De would not even bother to do the slightest favor.

The story goes that the Fourteenth Prince in the palace was sick and needed her care, so the drama was postponed. Later, Emperor Kangxi sent someone to check on him. His little Fourteenth Prince, who was only a few months old, was well-fed, chubby, and full of energy. He didn't look sick at all.

When Emperor Kangxi found out, he threw a tantrum in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He has been extremely irritable lately and can't control himself at all, which is unusual, since he has always been careful not to show his emotions since he took power.

This series of events directly ignited Kangxi's anger throughout the year.

At that time, Emperor Kangxi thought to himself, since Consort De did not want this son, then he would let her never have one.

Is his son someone that anyone can despise?

Emperor Kangxi was very unhappy. He may not have liked them, but he would never allow anyone other than himself to look down on his children who carried his bloodline.

During that period, Kangxi rarely visited the inner palace, so no one noticed that Consort De had fallen out of favor.

Emperor Kangxi disliked anyone who dared to defy his authority, and Consort De, of the Uya clan, displayed a certain arrogance due to her favor with the emperor.

Kangxi's face was expressionless, and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

Liang Jiugong tried to shrink his body, wishing he could blend into the pillar next to him. With the Emperor's expression, one wondered if someone from the previous dynasty or the harem was about to be in trouble.

Kangxi suddenly spoke, which was particularly prominent in the quiet Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Liang Jiugong, what do you think about me changing the mother of the Fourth Prince?"

Liang Jiugong's mind raced. If it were a different mother, it certainly wouldn't be Empress Tong. The only possibility would be that Consort De had refused to personally care for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen in Chengqian Palace, which displeased His Majesty.

Is this to change the jade tablet for the Fourth Prince?

Suddenly, these words popped into Liang Jiugong's mind: "Gai Yudie." Before Empress Tong died, she begged to be called "Your Majesty," but his own "Your Majesty" refused at that time.

Now that Empress Tong has passed away, why do they still want to change the Fourth Prince's imperial genealogy?

Liang Jiugong had a whole bunch of thoughts running through his mind in just a few breaths.

Liang Jiugong wore a fawning smile and moved with remarkable speed.

"His Majesty wants to change the mother of the Fourth Prince. There must be something His Majesty is worried about. It is all for the good of the Fourth Prince. Is there anything His Majesty cannot decide?"

When Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong's reply, his expression softened considerably, and his tone became somewhat amused.

"You sycophantic lackey, that's all. There's nothing in this world that I can't make decisions for. They should all be grateful."

Liang Jiugong quickly replied with flattery.

"They will definitely be grateful; His Majesty has never made a wrong decision."

That's what Liang Jiugong said, but that's not what he really thought.

Changing the jade tablet is like slapping Consort De in the face. Now that Empress Tong has passed away, changing the jade tablet at this time is like blatantly telling the court and the palace that His Majesty is not satisfied with Consort De being the mother of the Fourth Prince.

However, this time the Fourth Prince turned misfortune into blessing. With the imperial genealogy changed, he became a legitimate son, and among the princes in the harem, the Fourth Prince held the highest status after the Crown Prince.

Moreover, they had a powerful maternal family; the Tong family held a significant position in the imperial court.
