"Every decision my daughter makes is made after careful consideration. Don't worry, father. Tomorrow, you can go and talk to the emperor.

My daughter is the future Crown Princess, and the sudden dethronement of the Crown Prince has already made her lose face.

Now she has to settle for the second best and only ask to be the concubine of Prince Zhi, which can be regarded as the grace of the royal family to their daughter.

The Emperor is a wise ruler. This is not my daughter's fault. The Emperor will agree to my daughter's request."

"good."

Kangxi had never really thought about how to deal with the Guwalgiya clan, so when Shi Wenbing came to ask for permission, he was confused.

This matter was not her fault, Guaerjia. He could show mercy and let her marry into the royal family and become his legal wife.

But she didn't want to be the main wife, but insisted on being a concubine, and even Yinzhen's concubine. I really don't know what she was thinking.

The term "concubine" sounds better. Although she is also listed on the jade plate, she is still a concubine in the final analysis. If a concubine dares to be disrespectful to the concubine, she will be punished.

"My dear, was this your own action, or did the Guarjia clan also decide this?"

"Your Majesty, this is my opinion. My daughter is only suitable to be the concubine of the Prince of Zhi at her age. I am doing this to give her a chance to survive.

Your Majesty, you also know that I am a strong-willed person. If you let her go up the mountain to become a nun, she will probably hang herself in her room with a white silk scarf.

She is my only legitimate daughter, the apple of my eye. I am truly afraid of losing her. Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything, so please agree to my only request."

Shi Wenbing shed tears at the right time, which moved even the old father Kangxi.

But he didn't believe what Shi Wenbing said. Ever since he took a fancy to Guaerjia, she had been trained according to the standards of the Crown Princess. Now that the Crown Prince was deposed, she could marry someone else as his wife.

She wanted to be Yinzhi's concubine simply because she felt that Yinzhi was favored by him and wanted to take a gamble.

If he really made Yinzhi the crown prince one day, when Yinzhi ascended the throne, as a concubine born in the Qiandi Palace, Guaerjia would at least be a noble concubine after entering the palace.

If something happens to the eldest wife and she dies, she will be the most suitable candidate to be the successor.

As expected of someone he had carefully educated, he was both scheming and courageous, but he disagreed.

The eldest wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which represented good luck. Now she is pregnant with the eldest brother's child. As a good father-in-law, he will not cause trouble for her.

As for Guaerjia's plan, it is not impossible for her to be a concubine, and Yinzhi's wife is quite suitable.

"The eldest brother and his wife are in perfect harmony. I do not intend to disrupt the peace between them. Shi Wenbing, do you understand what I mean?"

Shi Wenbing didn't expect that Kangxi didn't agree directly as his daughter said, but instead said that he was unwilling to break up the relationship between Yinzhi and his wife. He was a little angry.

But he knew that as a subject, he had no choice but to obey the words of the monarch Kangxi. How could he refuse?

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. But who would be the right person to give my daughter to? In my opinion, the most suitable person has always been the Prince of Zhi."

"I think the third son is quite suitable. It just so happens that he hasn't married yet, so let the concubine enter the palace first, and then we can welcome the main wife into the palace."

Shi Wenbing's eyes moved, and it turned out to be Prince Cheng Yinzhi.

Yinzhi was conferred the title of Beile by Kangxi during this knighthood. The reason why he was only Beile was because he had not yet married.

When Yinzhi got married, shouldn't Kangxi directly confer the title of Prince on him?

Thinking that Yinzhi was also a prince, and Yinzhi was also a prince after his marriage, Shi Wenbing suddenly felt that there was no need to hold on to Yinzhi.

"Let's follow the Emperor's instructions and give my daughter to the Third Prince as his concubine. I wonder if the Third Prince would object to my daughter's engagement to the Crown Prince?"

"The third brother is a man of good manners. He won't embarrass the Guarjia family because of those things. You can rest assured."

"Yes, I understand. I will go back and tell my daughter the good news. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. You saved my life."

"Okay, let's go back."

"I'll take my leave."

When Shi Wenbing returned home and told Guaerjia the news, she was completely stunned.

Unexpectedly, the result of her careful planning was that she did become a concubine, but not Yinzhi's, but Yinzhi's.

It is true that Yinzhi was a Beile, and it is also true that he might be granted the title of a Prince after his wedding, but he was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, so what would it matter even if he was granted the title of a Prince?

Did Father think that all the princes were the same? Anyone could see that the Prince of Zhi was more outstanding and more worthy of following. Why did he agree with the emperor's statement?

puff!

She was so angry that she spat out blood in her yard and fainted. When Kangxi learned about this, he knew that she was indeed planning to rely on Yinzhi to ascend to the throne.

"Liang Jiugong, tell the third brother that I hope his family won't do anything like favoring a concubine over his wife. Since Guaerjia is a concubine, she will be a concubine for life."

"Yes, I will go to the prince's residence and tell the Third Prince the news."

In the prince's residence, Yinzhi came to see Yinzhi for something.

Yin'er and Yin'e wanted to go to the military camp again, and Yinsi also wanted to go with them. He didn't want to take Yinsi with him, so he asked Yinzhi to help keep Yinsi.

"Third brother, you know my temper. This eighth brother is too arrogant. If I take him to the military camp, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the camp in the future."

"Why do you say that, brother?"

Yinzhi was really curious about what Yinsi said that made Yinzhi have such an idea. It was so tempting.

"Whenever I compete with others, he'll be there nagging me, constantly apologizing, saying I hurt them and it wasn't intentional, etc.

I'm a man, and the people in the barracks are all capable men. Competitions are common, so what's the point of him apologizing to them?"

Yinzhi was speechless. His elder brother didn't look stupid on weekdays, so why did he seem so stupid and confused when Yinsi was mentioned?

"Since Big Brother doesn't like Eighth Brother, why not just not bring him along? Why would he come to my younger brother's place and ask him for help?

Are you planning to let your brother make up a reason to keep Eighth Brother here? Don’t you know that he has eight hundred tricks? My brother is afraid of being plotted against by him, so forget it.

Yinzhen looked at him with disappointment. He just wanted to find a reason to keep them and release them after they left the palace. But he couldn't even do that. It was shameful.

"I pay my respects to the Prince of Zhi and to you, my Lord. Eunuch Liang has arrived. I see he seems to be holding an imperial edict in his hands."

"Imperial edict? How can there be an imperial edict? I haven't done anything wrong recently, have I?"

Yinzhi was a little confused. What kind of imperial edict would be delivered at this time? He just felt that it was not a good thing and did not particularly want to open it.

"Third brother, what are you standing there for? Go and see what the Emperor has ordered so you can prepare. What if he wants to crown you a king? Wouldn't it be a big loss if you don't read it?"
