Apart from the eldest son, Yinzhi,

Only the Third Prince, Yinzhi, was sent out of the palace to be raised.

Emperor Kangxi rarely reprimanded his only son, Consort Rong.

I'm terrified that I might accidentally face the pain of losing my child.

It can be said that the Third Prince, Yinzhi, was affected by the deaths of his older brothers.

Emperor Kangxi showed him great pity and did not have strict requirements.

In the Imperial Study, besides the Crown Prince, the Third Prince Yinzhi received the most encouragement from Emperor Kangxi.

Because of Kangxi's favor,

Consort Rong's doting affection,

This fostered the Third Prince's arrogant, attention-seeking, and inability to recognize his place personality.

Now, looking at his son before him, Kangxi didn't know what to do with him.

Finally, with a sigh, he was told to go to the Fengxian Hall to kneel before the ancestors, until good news came from the Grand Consort and Hongyu.

The Third Prince was a prince, and he didn't commit this crime himself.

Emperor Kangxi was much more lenient with him, but he wasn't so kind to the Third Prince's wife.

However, as a father-in-law, he couldn't directly do anything to the Third Princess Consort, so he handed the matter over to the Empress Dowager.

And that audacious maid, after being taken away for interrogation by Liang Jiugong, blurted out that it was the Third Prince's wife who had ordered it. Now, the blame is all on the Third Prince's wife, and there's no way to clear her name.

That maid didn't fare well either; not only did she die, but her whole family perished.

Because of this incident, the image of the Third Prince's wife also suffered greatly in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi.

Although the maid's testimony cannot be entirely trusted, why would the maid push the First Princess Consort for no reason? It must have been instigated by the Third Princess Consort.

The Third Prince's wife has suffered a great loss this time.

If the eldest grandson of the emperor really has something going on...

Given the emperor's temperament, it's estimated that a "deposed" princess consort will emerge from the Dong'e family. The reason for the quotation marks is that Kangxi wouldn't directly depose the Third Prince's wife.

She was just a noble concubine who entered the house, acting as the mistress of the house and so on.

The Third Prince's Consort, or someone who prayed for the royal family or the Empress Dowager, was imprisoned in a place like the Imperial Awakening Temple. It was a de facto abolition, just a nice cover-up.

After all, the marriage to the Third Prince's wife was bestowed by Emperor Kangxi himself.

The emperor naturally wouldn't contradict himself by issuing an edict to depose her, but there were many other ways to make her depose him without actually doing so!

The Third Princess then endured three months of agonizing hardship, spending her days in the Empress Dowager's palace receiving instruction from the nannies.

Fortunately, the eldest grandson of the emperor is still alive, and the first wife did not miscarry; otherwise, things would not have been so simple.

Kangxi's idea was that since Dong Eshi didn't know how to teach her daughter, he would teach her properly.

When the Dong'e family heard this news, they couldn't say anything bad about the royal family. They had to praise the emperor and the empress dowager. After all, speaking of the empress dowager's teachings would bring them immense prestige. Would the Dong'e family dare to disregard this prestige?

As it turns out, they didn't dare.

Even the Third Prince's biological mother felt that her daughter was unreliable and harbored resentment.

Why did you have to provoke the pregnant First Princess Consort? It caused Prince Hongyu to fall seriously ill.

Everyone knows that Prince Hongyu had previously suffered a serious head injury and was critically ill. These young children are difficult to raise, let alone someone who has already endured such a calamity. If you don't avoid them, they'll just run into them themselves.

Haven't you had enough of the good life? (?_?)?

Are they bored out of their minds? If Prince Hongyu doesn't hold on, the Dong E family and the eldest prince's faction, Consort Hui, will be mortal enemies!

Her husband and son both blamed her for not raising her daughter well, and Lady Dong'e also harbored resentment towards this daughter because she hadn't visited the Third Prince's wife in the palace for the past few months.

So they didn't know that the Third Prince's wife had lost a lot of weight and was in very poor condition.

Lady Dong'e thought that the Empress Dowager was just giving her a routine kneeling reprimand.

Little did they know that the Empress Dowager didn't show up at all; it was all the old palace maids who gave them instructions, and their methods were so ruthless that they couldn't express their suffering.

The Third Prince was heartbroken by the Third Princess's condition.

He chose this wife himself, and the two lived in harmony after their marriage.

The Third Prince's wife was always radiant.

Beautiful,

flamboyant,

Now that the Third Prince's wife looks so pitiful, the Third Prince's heart has already melted, and the previous unpleasantness has long since vanished.

However, Third Master himself has also been having a tough time lately.

Emperor Kangxi punished him by making him copy books, and also instructed the tutors in the Imperial Study to keep a close eye on him. Even the riding and archery lessons, which offered him a slight respite, were suspended.

He copied books every day, copying "Standards for Being a Good Student and Child" and "Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars," until his hands ached so much he could barely lift his arms.

However, Emperor Kangxi only punished the Third Prince for one month.

The Third Prince, being a coward, dared not hate the Empress Dowager. However, because of this incident, he did remember the First Princess and Hongyu.

The Fujin was only informing the Grand Fujin's family about the situation; the shoving wasn't intentional. It was just that the Grand Fujin was weak and Hongyu was sickly.

If He Zhuo finds out...

I wonder if He Zhuo could resist slapping this guy who's twisting the truth twice on the spot.

That's unreasonable. You did something wrong, so shouldn't you be punished? This is a light punishment. Oh, and you're blaming the victim for being in poor health? You deserve to be imprisoned.

However, He Zhuo was not afraid of him. He would deal with whatever came his way. Hong Yu was in poor health, and after this incident, people would probably stop paying attention to him.

Being the eldest grandson of the emperor is no easy task.
