The prince's current fate is all his own fault, but if I hadn't doted on him too much, how could he have become like this?

After all, it was his fault and he couldn't deny it. He was willing to plead guilty. It was his fault for raising such a prince.

Kangxi's illness also thwarted the Imperial Noble Consort's plan to have Kangxi register Yinzhen under his own name.

As luck would have it, she also fell ill, and it was a serious illness that could not be cured but only delayed.

There were always imperial doctors coming in and out of Chengqian Palace, which made it even harder for her to go to Qianqing Palace and ask Kangxi to change Yinzhen's imperial certificate.

The news of the prince's secret execution still spread, and the court and the palace were shocked.

The prince actually had the guts to commit regicide. Although I felt that he deserved it, I still felt that Kangxi had gone too far.

No matter what, he was Kangxi's son. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. But he actually killed the prince just because he wanted to assassinate the king!

But no one dared to say this out loud. After all, if they were in his place, they would definitely make the same decision as Kangxi.

It had long been rumored that Kangxi wanted to make Mu Sili the queen, so naturally he had to make it happen.

The Imperial Noble Consort did not object, and she knew that her objection was futile, so she obediently submitted to Mu Sili.

After Mu Sili became the queen, Yinyou, Yinxun and Galudai became legitimate children, but the change in status did not make them proud and complacent, and Kangxi was very satisfied.

The position of crown prince was vacant, and Yinyou, now the legitimate son, naturally had some ideas.

In the following period, he gradually revealed his talent, which made Kangxi value him more and more.

Time passed quickly, and the imperial concubine finally reached her deathbed.

Knowing that she could not change Yinzhen's imperial edict, she could only set her sights on Yinzhen's wife.

"I know I am dying. I do not ask the Emperor to change Yinzhen's imperial certificate to my name, but I hope the Emperor will agree to give Fei Yanggu's daughter to Yinzhen as his legitimate wife."

Kangxi frowned. Fei Yanggu's legitimate daughter? She was indeed worthy of Yinzhen, but she was three years younger than Yinzhen and was only ten years old now.

If the Imperial Noble Consort wanted to give her to Yinzhen, she would have to see if it was appropriate. If she wanted to drink the daughter-in-law tea, she might not be able to wait any longer.

But Kangxi's hesitation caused the Imperial Noble Consort to misunderstand. She thought Kangxi disagreed, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

"It is because I asked for too much that Your Majesty is embarrassed."

"Your Majesty, I think it would be a good idea for Xiao Si to marry Fei Yanggu's daughter as his wife. After all, she is the daughter-in-law that she carefully selected, so she must be good."

Mu Sili still softened her heart. Since the imperial concubine was about to die, there was no need to hold on to her.

Besides, Kangxi would certainly agree to her last wish, so it would be better for her to say it herself, so that the Imperial Noble Concubine would remember her well.

After hearing what Mu Sili said, Kangxi realized that his hesitation had caused the imperial concubine to misunderstand him.

"I can agree, but Ulanara is too young. If she becomes the Fourth Lady, you might not be able to drink tea with your wife."

The Imperial Noble Consort immediately gave Mu Sili a look of gratitude. She thought that Kangxi agreed with her idea because of Mu Sili's words.

It's just tea for the daughter-in-law, she doesn't have to drink it.

As long as Xiao Si could marry a woman of noble birth, she accepted Mu Sili's favor.

"It doesn't matter. Even if someone else is chosen, I won't be able to drink that cup of tea as a daughter-in-law. It's better to choose someone I have my eyes on from the beginning. This way, I can leave with peace of mind."

Mu Sili asked Chunzhi to send someone to invite Yinzhen. After all, she was the mother who raised him, and she would definitely want to see her before she died.

"Since you like her, I will decide on this marriage. Don't worry, the Fourth Lady will definitely be her. I trust your judgment.

I will have the Imperial Household Department begin preparations for the wedding immediately. As long as you can hold on, you will definitely be able to drink this cup of daughter-in-law tea."

The Imperial Noble Consort's eyes suddenly lit up with infinite brilliance. She thought that she could only arrange a marriage for Yinzhen, but she didn't expect that Kangxi would decide to let her drink the daughter-in-law tea.

For the sake of this cup of tea for her daughter-in-law, she will definitely use all her strength to hold on until that day.

"I thank the Emperor for his grace on behalf of Xiao Si."

Yinzhen hurried over and saw the Imperial Noble Consort thanking him on his behalf. He was a little confused. Didn't they say that the Imperial Noble Consort was not doing well? Now it didn't look like that!

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress."

"Xiao Si is here, go talk to your mother."

"yes."

Yinzhen was very touched when he learned about the imperial concubine's plan, but when he thought about losing his mother, he felt very sad.

Fortunately, the Imperial Noble Consort comforted him and allowed him to focus on getting married.

The Empress Dowager's wish was for him to marry Ulanara, and he would marry her obediently. As long as she was a good person, he would not owe her anything.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Noble Consort never got to drink the tea of ​​her daughter-in-law. Before she passed away, she asked Yinzhen to hold the wedding on time, and she would watch and bless him from heaven.

Yinzhen was heartbroken, but in order not to disappoint the imperial concubine, he still held a wedding with Ulanara after her burial.

Since the death of the Imperial Noble Consort, Yinzhen has been grateful for Mu Sili's kindness, and his relationship with Yinyou has become better and better.

He guessed that Kangxi was likely to make Yinyou the crown prince, so he surrendered to Yinyou early on, hoping only that he could live a simple life as the Imperial Noble Consort's last wish before her death.

Five years later, Yinyou married and had children. Kangxi became depressed after the death of the prince. Now that Yinyou could stand on his own feet, he decided to let go.

Although Yinyou was never named the crown prince, everyone with a discerning eye knew that he was the definite candidate for the crown prince, and they had already made preparations for him to be appointed the crown prince.

"Xiao Qi, I have decided to make you the Crown Prince. Yinreng is a lesson for you. I hope you won't follow in his footsteps.

Although I have great confidence in your character, I still want to show some mercy to Yinzhi and his brothers. I hope you don't mind."

Yinyou felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that Kangxi was traumatized by the anger he felt over the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng.

It's no wonder he didn't notice what he had done so obviously over the years.

"Your Majesty, please feel free to do what you want. I won't do anything to my brothers, you must know that.

All of my son's brothers are talented people. If he is jealous of them, then he really has a problem with his brain.

My brothers are the best talents in their respective fields, and my son will not bury their abilities because of his worries.

On the contrary, the son will make the best use of them and realize their value."

Kangxi was very satisfied, but he always felt something was wrong.

This statement seems to be fine, but it just doesn't feel very satisfying. He even has the feeling that Yinyou wants to enslave them forever.

"As long as you understand this, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible. After you become the Crown Prince, I will gradually transfer power to you."

"Yes, son, thank you for your trust."
