With just one sentence, Consort De understood the result that Yinzhen wanted.
She nodded and said, "Don't worry, your mother is an old hand who has been in the palace for many years, so I'm confident in this."
The mother and son then talked about other things, including the women in Yinzhen's harem.
Consort De felt that Yinzhen should seize this opportunity to arrange a marriage.
However, because Lady Li was quite obedient, Yinzhen wanted to promote her to the position of concubine.
Consort De: ...
"Fourth brother, don't be confused. She's just a woman from the Han Banner Army. What help can she give you?"
You are a prince, and you only have one position as a concubine. Don't let your judgment cloud your judgment at a time like this.
Consort De warned Yinzhen, thinking to herself, "How could she not know that all the men of the Aisin Gioro family like to be romantics? She's not thinking straight."
Yinzhen: ...
Yinzhen was scolded by his mother and felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"Mother, Madam Li has served me for many years, and she has a son and a daughter. Son..."
Yinzhen wanted to say some good words for Li to please Consort De, but he forgot one thing: the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not easy to handle, let alone Li, who was just a concubine.
"This is what she should do. As a princess, her duty upon entering the mansion is to bear children for the men."
Yinzhen, you mustn't do anything foolish at a time like this.
"With so many Manchu bannerwomen as concubines, surely you don't want any of them?"
Consort De did not believe that Yinzhen did not have such thoughts. Compared to a princess who knew how to please him, the power he had in his hands was more exciting.
As expected, Consort De's words brought Yinzhen to his senses.
Yinzhen looked down at the ring on his hand, calculating in his mind how much benefit he could gain by obtaining the position of a concubine.
"Crown Prince"
Consort De added fuel to the fire, igniting the desires hidden deep within Yinzhen's heart.
Upon hearing Consort De's words, Yinzhen suddenly thought of the Crown Prince. The most useful person would be the already weakened Empress Hesheli.
"But if we act at this time, won't the Crown Prince and Father Emperor become suspicious?"
Yinzhen felt that they could wait a little longer. There were so many women from the Manchu Banners, there was no need to keep picking on Hesheli.
"If you plan well, they might think you are a grateful person."
Offering help in times of need is better than adding to someone's already good fortune.
The Hesheli clan indeed faced difficulties, but once they weathered this storm, their foundation would gradually recover.
Normally, Yinzhen would never have had the opportunity to marry into the Hesheli clan. It is only because of Suo'etu's current troubles that the Hesheli clan's situation appears awkward.
