Yinzhen was directly invited to the Qianqing Palace for dinner. This was the first time he had dinner alone with Kangxi, and he was very happy.

"Why are you so happy?"

"It would be much better if the Emperor could bring the Empress Dowager and my brothers and sisters with him. My son would be happier."

Kangxi was also happy, he liked this feeling.

He has already decided on the eldest brother's wedding next month. He will then let the prince out to attend the eldest brother's wedding, and then put him back into confinement after the wedding.

Anyway, he has already said that the house arrest will last for three months, and it must be implemented no matter what, otherwise it will seem too frivolous.

A month later, the princes began to make intensive arrangements. Today was the day of the eldest prince's wedding, and they could not be careless.

Mu Sili was invited to the Yanx Palace by Concubine Hui early in the morning.

"Royal Consort, do you think my attire today is okay? Is it a little too formal? I'm afraid it will scare my daughter-in-law."

"No, that's fine, this is it."

This is already the fifth set. Mu Sili doesn't understand why she is so nervous. Yinzhi is being married in the prince's hall, and they can just go there when the time comes.

Moreover, after the wedding ceremony, Irgen Jueluo will be sent to the bridal chamber, and the real meeting with her mother-in-law will be tomorrow.

But seeing how excited and nervous she was, she still gave her some advice.

Finally it was time for the ceremony. Kangxi and Concubine Hui sat at the top. After the ceremony, Kangxi led Mu Sili and others away.

Today is the eldest son's wedding day, and the children can't let go here.

"Mother, I want to be with my brothers."

"Okay, Xiao Si, take good care of your brothers and sisters and come back soon."

"Yes, don't worry, Empress Dowager."

Galudai was a princess. She wanted to go to the bridal chamber to see the bride. Her two little followers, Yinzhen and Yinzhen, wanted to go with her but were stopped by Yinzhen.

"Come here, you two. I have a mission for you. Go and get Big Brother drunk. If you can get him drunk, I'll give you a day off tomorrow."

Holiday? If there's such a good thing, I must get Big Brother drunk.

After seeing the two men pestering Yinzhi, Yinzhen came to the side of the prince.

"Brother, have you been okay in Yuqing Palace for the past month? I want to visit you, but the guards won't let me in."

Yinzhen was really worried about the prince, but the prince thought this was an act with ulterior motives. He even felt that every time Yinzhen approached him, he was calculating.

"I'm fine. Fourth brother, don't you have a good relationship with eldest brother? Why don't you go and toast to eldest brother?"

Yinzhen frowned. Why did he feel that the prince's attitude towards him had become much colder?

"My brother is still young and not suitable for drinking. Besides, my sister doesn't like it."

The prince just sneered. He felt that Yinzhen's words were all excuses. After all, he had just asked Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi to get the eldest brother drunk.

"Fourth brother can't do it anymore, the younger brothers can't do it anymore, the eldest brother is too strong, we can't drink as much as him."

"Are you guys stupid? Why are you drinking at such a young age? I'm asking you to drink, not just to keep me company!"

Yinzhen felt so ashamed that he couldn't face anyone. His two younger brothers were too stupid. He didn't want to say that he knew them, and he didn't want people to know that he brought them up. It was too embarrassing.

The two little ones were also confused. It turned out that they didn’t need to drink it. It was over. Their reputation was going to be ruined.

The time was almost up, and people from Yuqing Palace came to remind the prince that it was time to go back. Yinzhen wanted to say a few words to him, but was stopped by Yinzhi.

"Don't go. Didn't you see that he doesn't want to bother with you? Why are you rushing there? Come, have a drink with Big Brother."

Yinzhen was pulled away by Yinzhi with a look of resistance, but at this moment the prince looked back and his eyes were gloomy when he saw this scene.

Half a year later, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill and was on her deathbed.

In the Cining Palace, Kangxi, his concubines and children stood in front of Xiaozhuang's window.

The thing she was most proud of in her life was pushing Kangxi to the throne. Watching him become stronger and stronger little by little, she felt really relieved.

She looked at Garudai, the great-granddaughter who looked most like her. Seeing her was as if she saw herself in Khorchin.

"After I die, I will not be buried in the Huangling Mausoleum. Xuanye, I miss Khorchin. Please bury me in the place closest to Khorchin."

"Yes, Royal Mam."

Galudai was very sad. Xiaozhuang treated her better than the prince, and she was reluctant to let her leave.

"Grandfather, don't you want Garudai anymore? Didn't you say you wanted to see Garudai get married, have children, and live a happy life?"

Seeing her crying so sadly, Empress Xiaozhuang felt really distressed, but she was too weak to do so and could only comfort her intermittently.

"Don't cry, I'm not gone. I'll turn into a star and stay with you in the sky."

"Garudai."

Mu Sili called her softly, and she obediently stood up and let Kangxi sit on the edge of the bed.

"Madam Royal, is there anything else you're worried about?"

"No, I just wanted to see what was going on over there. It looked like someone was coming to pick me up. Oh, it was him..."

Xiaozhuang suddenly smiled and then closed her eyes forever.

"Royal Mam!"

Kangxi was truly heartbroken. At that moment, he seemed to be back to the time when he first ascended the throne. If it weren't for Xiaozhuang, he would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne.

Just when he was heartbroken, he saw a look of sarcasm and disdain in the prince's eyes, and he slapped him in the face regardless of the occasion.

"You bastard, what's that expression on your face? Are you happy that the Empress Dowager has passed away? Get out of here and kneel down!"

"Father, I don't have any."

In anger, Kangxi ignored him, had him taken away, and continued to mourn the death of Empress Xiaozhuang.

From this moment on, he no longer had a royal mammy.

Xiaozhuang's funeral was very grand because she asked to be buried in the place closest to Khorchin. After much thought, Kangxi thought of Mulan Paddock.

After some instructions and arrangements, Xiaozhuang was sent to Mulan Paddock for burial.

Su Malagu followed to guard the tomb for Empress Xiaozhuang. Kangxi originally wanted her to stay in the palace to take care of her in her old age, but she refused.

She was also from Horqin and wanted to be closer to Horqin, so she stayed in Mulan Paddock.

"I am the princess's servant. Wherever she is, I will be there. Your Majesty, don't worry. I will take good care of myself."

Seeing that he insisted, Kangxi respected his idea. There were two women he admired most in his life. One was the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the other was Su Malagu.

In the eyes of others, she may be just a maid, but to him, she is both a teacher and a friend, because Su Malagu's intelligence is no less than that of Empress Xiaozhuang.

After Empress Xiaozhuang was buried, the pregnant concubine of the crown prince in Yuqing Palace also gave birth.

The prince hoped that she would give birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, even if it was a bastard, because after Empress Xiaozhuang's death, they had to observe mourning for three years according to the rules.

My sister-in-law is now seven months pregnant, and we can’t let her get the upper hand.

Unfortunately, the concubine was not capable enough and gave birth to a daughter.
