Concubine Li was confused all the way. Before attending the full moon banquet, she was the prince's concubine in Yuqing Palace. After attending the full moon banquet, she became a commoner concubine. What did she do wrong?

She wanted to say something to the Crown Princess, but she had no time to pay attention to her. She could only look at Hongxi aggrievedly, hoping that he would say a few words for her.

But although Hongxi was young, he understood some things, that is, from today on he was no longer the emperor's eldest grandson but a commoner, which made him a little sad.

He had always been somewhat arrogant and domineering because of his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor. Now that he has lost this status, how will he cope with the future?

Fortunately, the Crown Princess was worried about him and looked back, otherwise he might have gone astray. Since she had no children, she might as well take him to her side and raise him.

Concubine Li was only concerned with vying for favor before, and was actually not very good to Hongxi. The mother-son relationship between Hongxi and her was not deep.

The reason why she did this was actually for the prince. Although he was imprisoned, his wife and children were forgiven by Kangxi. As long as Hongxi worked hard and made progress, and caught Kangxi's eye, the prince would still have a chance to get out.

Of course, this was just his imagination. She knew that this hope was slim, but without this idea as support, she was afraid she would not be able to hold on.

Hongxi had no objection to being raised by his stepmother. After today's experience, he also wanted to make progress, but Concubine Li disagreed, and the two almost fought in the imperial garden.

Fortunately, although the prince was demoted to a commoner, his status as the crown princess had not been officially deprived. In anger, she slapped Concubine Li, which woke her up.

Now she and her son had to rely on the Crown Princess to survive, so she shouldn't have gone against her. It was good for her son to follow her, at least his education wouldn't be a problem. As for the future? That would be discussed later.

The crown prince was deposed by Kangxi in his prime, so what else could she have thought? She might as well stay outside the palace and maybe even die of old age.

The next day, the Crown Princess sent someone to offer apology early in the morning. Mu Sili didn't say anything, but Yinzhen kept muttering in displeasure.

"I thought my second sister-in-law would send an apology at the end of the full moon banquet last night, but I didn't expect it to be sent today. I'm a little unhappy."

Mu Sili looked at him with some amusement. If she was unhappy, then so be it. Why did she act as if she was quite happy?

"My Lord, why bother with them? They are about to move out of the palace. You should think about when we can leave the palace. I have a feeling that the Emperor doesn't intend to let us leave the palace."

Yinzhen looked at her in surprise. This couldn't be true, could it? Hadn't the Emperor already promised to let them leave the palace? This was a promise he had made, how could he possibly change his mind?

But her expression was so serious that he had to doubt the authenticity of it.

"I'm going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and will be back to have dinner with you. You just stay in the courtyard and don't get into trouble. I'm afraid someone with no sense will bully you."

"I understand. Nanny Tong is watching over me. Nothing will happen to me. But my Lord, please don't talk nonsense when you go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. This is an extraordinary period and we must treat it with extreme caution."

"I know, I know my limits, don't worry, Chunyao, lead your master inside, don't catch a cold."

"yes."

Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was still thinking about the Crown Prince. He was his son. Although he had intended to force the emperor to abdicate, he hadn't succeeded, hadn't he? He wondered how he was doing in the Imperial Clan Court.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here. Do you want to see him?"

"The fourth one is here? Isn't he here because of the Guarjia family's apology?"

"It doesn't look like that to me. I seem to be here to ask about your branch residence."

Kangxi was displeased. How could that wicked son be so obsessed with leaving the palace and establishing his own residence? The crown prince had been deposed, and he had advantages in all aspects. Shouldn't he fight for power and profit first?

You have to know that after the position of crown prince was left vacant, many people had ideas. Thaksin believed that Yinzhen had no ideas, but it was the lack of ideas that made people even more angry.

"Let him in. I want to see what he's here for. I don't believe he's here to leave the palace and build a mansion."

Liang Jiugong curled his lips. Don't believe it? He couldn't disbelieve it. He had to believe it. Otherwise, wouldn't it slap him in the face?

After Yinzhen came in, he didn't beat around the bush. He asked Kangxi directly when they would leave the palace, as he couldn't wait any longer.

If he didn't leave the palace, he was afraid that he would get sick from staying there. This made Kangxi very angry. Couldn't he ask something else, such as the position of crown prince was vacant and who was more suitable for the position?

"I worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay me? I've just been hurt, and you have the heart to leave the palace now? I've decided, you should stay in the palace, my brother can afford to support you."

Yinzhen frowned. Mu Sili was right. Kangxi didn't want him to leave the palace. How could this be possible? How could he gain his favor in front of Kangxi if he didn't leave the palace?

Although it was true that he was leaving the palace, he had to endure what ordinary people could not endure if he wanted to sit in that position. What's more, leaving the palace would only mean less meetings with Kangxi, and it wouldn't cost him anything, so there was no need to be angry with him.

"Your Majesty is right. You have worked hard to raise your son. Your son really shouldn't think about leaving the palace and returning to his own home. The palace is also your home. Your son understands."

Although he said so, there was a hint of complaint in his tone. Since he was resentful, then what he said just now was just angry words.

Kangxi knew this, but he suddenly didn't want to let Yinzhen have a good time. Why should he be exhausted in the palace while he was enjoying himself outside the palace? This was unfair.

"Since you've said so, I won't announce your departure from the palace. Liang Jiugong, pass on the order I just prepared."

"yes."

"An edict? Did Your Majesty just draft one? Why didn't I see it? Or is it that my eyesight is too blurry to see Your Majesty's movements? If so, I dare not show off my skills in front of you."

Kangxi felt guilty. He had done nothing wrong, but he felt as if he had done something wrong. If the problem was not resolved, he would not be able to sleep alone.

"You said this yourself. I didn't force you to stay in the palace. Don't wait until the boss and the others move out before you come to me and regret it. I'm asking you, am I not leaving?"

Yinzhen rolled his eyes at him without hesitation. Everything had been arranged by them, so it didn't matter whether he left the palace or not.

"Your Majesty, you are already an old man, why do you always make fun of your sons? Aren't you afraid that your sons will really get angry with you?"

"Don't worry, there's no such thing as an ugly quarrel between father and son. The elders bowed their heads first, and the matter was over. I'm not afraid of you holding a grudge."
