Ke Jing was on edge, especially when his aunt suddenly lost her temper. Years of self-control crumbled in an instant, and the root of the problem was a junior who had broken her guard.
Oh dear, if this gets out, Yikun Palace will lose all face.
However, Consort Yi is right. Yinzhen is too ignorant. How could he not see that Yinsi harbored evil intentions?
Even those who had little contact with Kejing and Yinzhi understood that Yinzhi was no good at all. If you really got involved with him, he might continue to leech off your lifeblood and leave you no way out.
Kejing is a girl, and she has always been quite sensitive about this kind of thing.
She had once learned how to treat people from Consort Guoluo. In her eyes, Yinzhi was the kind of person who had no merits but a lot of flaws.
After muttering a few words to himself, Kejing did not rashly criticize Yinzhi's faults in front of Consort Yi and the others.
Ke Jing knows his identity, understands his position, and has a clear understanding of himself.
Living in Yikun Palace, there were some things that Yinqi and Yintang could say to each other because Consort Yi was their biological mother, and they wouldn't hold grudges after a fight.
But Ke Jing is different. Although Ke Jing and Consort Yi have a good relationship, they are just ordinary aunt and niece. Moreover, Ke Jing's birth mother did not have a good life, which also increased her trial and error costs.
Ke Jing must not be harmed, otherwise the mother and daughter will have a hard time in the future.
“Mother, how could you say such a thing about myna bird? I know myna bird well; it would never do such a thing.”
To be honest, Yinzhen wasn't particularly afraid of Consort Yi, which stemmed from Consort Yi's favoritism and doting on her youngest son.
Yinzhen looked very much like Consort Yi, while Yinqi resembled Emperor Kangxi more.
Consort Yi was their biological mother, and she took great care of the two children from a young age.
However, due to some lingering outdated ideas, Consort Yi was strict with her eldest son, demanding that he uphold the family's honor, while she had simpler requirements for her younger son, as long as he didn't cause trouble.
The seeds sown in the past have led to the present result.
The two children were blaming each other, leaving Consort Yi caught in the middle, in a dilemma.
It's not clear yet; at least for now, there's not much conflict between Yinqi and Yintang, and Consort Yi doesn't consider Yinsi a formidable opponent.
It wasn't until the later years of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, after the First Prince Yinti fell from grace and Yinsi smoothly rose to prominence in the court, that Consort Yi finally considered correcting Yintang's bad habit of favoring outsiders.
Unfortunately, by then, it was all too late.
Yinqi had already married a woman from the Tara clan, but his face was disfigured due to war injuries, causing him to lose the initiative. Yintang and Yin'e followed Yinsi wholeheartedly down this path, leaving Consort Yi with no chance at all.
In the end, Yinzhi's lineage fell in the competition, Yintang was purged, and didn't even get a title.
At that time, Consort Yi certainly hated Yinzhen, who had ascended the throne, but she loathed the culprit Yinsi even more, even though Yinsi hadn't fared much better.
However, these are all things for later. For now, Consort Yi still mainly favors Yinzhen and treats him like a child.
"I don't care whether he's innocent or not, the fact that you brothers have been tricked is all his fault."
Therefore, Consort Yi did not believe that Yinzhi was innocent at all. Perhaps all these things were deliberately set up by the other party, and the purpose was definitely to obtain that position.
Seeing his mother's cold-heartedness, Yinzhen snorted and hid to the side.
Seeing this, Yinqi reached out and tugged at Consort Yi's sleeve, his face clearly showing his embarrassment.
Yi Fei:......
Consort Yi simply shook her head and glared at her eldest son, Yinqi, with annoyance.
This child is good in every way, except that he is too soft-hearted and indecisive.
"Kejing, take the materials back first, and come back this afternoon."
Consort Yi smiled. What she was about to say was serious business, and it wouldn't be good for Ke Jing to stay any longer.
Ke Jing nodded in agreement, showing no dissatisfaction with Consort Yi's actions.
"Ke Jing takes his leave."
He turned and left, and only after leaving the main hall did Kejing finally breathe a sigh of relief.
call
That was so close!
Just now, if Consort Yi hadn't said anything, she would have also offered to take her leave.
There are some things she shouldn't hear, and Ke Jing will not linger for even a second longer.
But regarding today's events, Kejing turned around and glanced at the main hall with its doors tightly closed.
Yinqi and Yintang... sigh, those two are really no good. If only her younger brother who died young were still alive.
"Princess, what's wrong?" the palace maid serving Kejing asked in a low voice.
Ke Jing paused for a moment, then shook his head. "It's nothing. Let's go back to Mother's."
Kejing felt that she should talk to her mother. There were some things she couldn't say to Consort Yi, but her mother was different. The two of them could discuss it first.
Although Ke Jing looked down on Consort Yi's two sons, he had to admit that the two princes who shared the blood of the Guo Luo Luo clan could not both die at the same time, otherwise Yikun Palace would be completely finished.
Consort Guo Luoluo was resting inside when she saw her daughter rushing over. She asked curiously, "Weren't you going to your aunt's to get fabric to make clothes? Why are you back?"
Kejing waved his hand and plopped down opposite Consort Guoluo. "Mother, something has happened in our palace."
Something happened?
Ke Jing's single sentence instantly perked up Consort Guo Luoluo: "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
Kejing picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and after catching his breath, briefly told Consort Guoluo about what had happened between Yinqi and Yintang.
Consort Guoluo: ...
"These two children are really not very bright."
Guo Luoluo was speechless. How could she not have noticed such a big thing before? What was she thinking all day?
Ke Jing was also in a dilemma, thinking to himself that if the two of them were smart, Yikun Palace wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.
