The emperor becomes more confused and self-righteous as he gets older. Didn’t Zou Chengkai mention in his memorial that Yinzhen and others brought several warships?

"Get ready. I will go to Yikun Palace later to have dinner with Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi has been with me for many years. Since Old Nine has done such a thing, it is inevitable that the position of Concubine Yi is a bit unfair to her.

"Come here, draft an imperial decree. Consort Yi, Guo Luoluo... is hereby promoted to Noble Consort Yi, and is to take charge of the six palaces."

"yes."

While Concubine Yi was still digesting the news she had heard, Emperor Kangxi's imperial edict of promotion arrived.

"Noble Concubine? The Emperor really thinks highly of me. My son is already the ruler of a country. Who would want to be this useless noble concubine? If I went to Daqi, I would be the full-fledged Empress Dowager!"

"Your Highness, although I think you are right, you are still in the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor is still holding you accountable. I think I can still do something about this."

Concubine Yi came back to her senses. Indeed, the Central Palace was currently without a master. If she accepted the imperial decree of promotion, she would be the first person in the harem, and Xiaojiu and the others would be able to come back in a more respectable manner.

But there was also a hint of ridicule in her eyes. Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi had built the kingdom with their own abilities, but if the emperor wanted it, he would not give them any benefits. They were still princes.

"Liang Jiugong, since the emperor trusts me, I will take over the position of noble concubine. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit in this position for long. You have to give the emperor a heads-up."

"I know, as long as Your Majesty accepts the Imperial Concubine's order."

The Fifth Lady hurried into the palace to investigate. Why had the Emperor suddenly promoted her mother? Could it be that her Ninth Brother and the others had returned?

"Mother, your daughter-in-law and I heard that you were suddenly promoted. I'm a little worried about you, so I asked your daughter-in-law to come to the palace to ask what happened. Why did the emperor suddenly promote you?"

"Your ninth and tenth brothers have returned, and the emperor wants some of the things they have. So, he wants to promote me first so that I can speak for him when the time comes."

"What? Ninth brother and the others are back? Where are they? Why didn't I see them before? Are they still outside the palace? I'll go back and ask you to go check on them. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I don't know what the situation is like now."

The Fifth Lady was speaking from the heart. She was very grateful to Mu Sili and the others for leaving because she used that time to ease her relationship with Concubine Yi.

"No, you just need to wait. But be prepared, I was shocked."

Although the Fifth Lady was curious about what was going on, she didn't ask. Concubine Yi had already said to just wait, so she just waited.

Besides, the envoys from Daqi have arrived, and it is possible that my ninth brother and the others came with the envoys from Daqi.

"I understand. Since everything is fine, I will leave the palace. I know you are happy that my ninth brother and his family have returned, but you must not let your emotions fluctuate too much. You must maintain a stable state of mind."

"I understand. It's getting late. Please leave the palace."

"Yes, daughter-in-law, take your leave."

Three days later, Yinzhen and others came to Beijing and also stayed in the inn. After all, their current identities were the emperor and empress of Daqi, which was not comparable to that of a mere Beizi.

During these three days, the rest of the people also knew their identities.

"I never thought that my ninth brother would achieve such great things after leaving the capital. Speaking of which, my eighth brother has always been on good terms with him, so why didn't they take you with them?

Judging from your past relationship, if Eighth Brother follows him, I'm afraid someone else will have to become the Emperor of Daqi."

Yinsi's face looked extremely ugly. He had never thought that Yin'er and Yin'er would unite to conquer a country and become emperor there.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have given up on them. After all, conquering a country on his own is more exciting than fighting for a position with his brothers.

"Fourth Brother is used to putting people down these days. I wonder if Thirteenth Brother knows that Fourth Brother, who truly protected him and even risked his life for him, has now forgotten him?"

"Eighth brother, you're overthinking it. I won't let Thirteenth brother wait too long."

The two parted on bad terms, and Yinzhen and others also arrived.

"Ninth brother, Tenth brother is really doing well now. I wonder if I can go to Daqi to take a look? Is there a place for me in Daqi?"

Seeing Yinsi coming over to get close to him, Yin? directly stood in front of Yin'er.

"Prince Lian, I hope you are well. My brother is the ruler of Daqi. If you wish to visit Daqi, please let me know.

As for what position, as long as Prince Lian is willing to follow and work for the emperor, I think the emperor will be willing to give you a high position.

But this high position is definitely not as high as mine. You should be mentally prepared. After all, I am a founding hero, and I am different from others."

Yinsi smiled awkwardly and took a step back because Kangxi had arrived.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."

"Meet the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

This sentence from the Qing Emperor confused Kangxi. If he had not known that the other party was Yinzhen and Yin?, he would have almost thought that they just looked like them.

"Old Nine, Old Ten, when you've had enough fun, hurry back home. It's not like you don't have a place to stand in the Qing Dynasty. As for Daqi, I will send someone to take over. You don't have to worry about it.

But I will not treat you unfairly. Before, you were only the title of Beizi, but I will make an exception and confer you the title of Prince, which can be regarded as a reward for you."

“Puff!”

This time it was Mu Sili who laughed out loud, and even the Tenth Lady laughed out loud.

"Sister-in-law, did you hear me wrong? The Emperor actually asked my ninth brother to give up the throne and become a prince of the Qing Dynasty. He got this prince title by handing over Daqi.

If the ownership of Daqi had not been handed over, would Ninth Brother and our grandfather still be mere princes?"

Kangxi was embarrassed and somewhat unhappy. This was the wife he had chosen for the tenth prince? How rude!

"What business do you have with what I say? Yinzhen is my son, so his things naturally belong to the Qing Dynasty.

I have already made an exception and conferred upon him and Yin Yu the title of prince, allowing them to have the same titles as other princes. Do not push your luck any further."

"Your Majesty, what you said is truly strange. Your daughter-in-law would like to ask you, if your positions were reversed, would you be willing to give up the kingdom you conquered and become a prince?"

"How is that possible! Why should I give away my things?"

"Since the Emperor isn't happy about it, why do you think I will agree?

"Your Majesty, you probably forgot that we returned to the Qing Dynasty as the Empress, Prince, and Princess of Daqi, not as the Ninth and Tenth Beizi of the Qing Dynasty."

"you!"

Kangxi didn't expect Mu Sili to speak to him like this, and he was so angry that he was trembling.
