After the eldest son Yin's marriage was decided, the two old ladies turned their attention to the second son Yin.
After conspiring with the emperor, they began secretly selecting a concubine for the prince.
At this moment, Yinreng, who was having dinner in Yuqing Palace, suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if a cold wind was blowing into his heart.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu asked with concern: "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Yinreng shook his head, "I have a bad feeling."
He Yuzhu immediately turned serious.
Yinreng waved his hand and said, "It's been a while since I last paid my respects to Wukuma Ma. Let's go and take a look around the Cining Palace."
So, as soon as Yinreng stepped into the Cining Palace, before he could sweetly call out the words "Ukuma Ma", he saw the Empress Dowager and the Emperor smiling at him kindly.
"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Father."
Yinreng politely paid his respects, and Kangxi waved at him happily, "Baocheng, you've come just in time. We are currently selecting a concubine for you."
Yinreng: It is indeed so.
etc.
"Father, our son is only ten years old. Isn't it a bit early to choose a Crown Princess?"
Xiaozhuang said: "We are just selecting one now, there is no rush to decide."
The Queen Mother also nodded.
Kangxi smiled and said, "Your eldest brother's marriage has already been arranged. They can get married in two years. You are the crown prince, and choosing a crown princess is very troublesome. Naturally, we have to start the search early. After your eldest brother gets married, it will be your turn."
Yinreng had no choice but to sit down obediently.
The Empress Dowager handed him a pamphlet and said, "I and your father both think this girl is good."
Yinreng took it and looked at it, wow, isn’t this the Crown Princess from his previous life?
Kangxi said seriously, "Shi Wenbing still holds considerable weight in the hearts of the literati. With his support, the civil officials will generally side with you."
Yinreng recalled every moment he had spent with Guwalja in his previous life, and felt that they should just let each other go in this life.
[It's not that Guaerjia is bad, it's just that she's not suitable to be the Crown Princess.]
If she has the chance to become queen in the future, it won't matter.
[What's more, Shi Wenbing died a few years later, and Guaerjia's repeated mourning made his marriage very difficult.]
[Even the child she gave birth to did not survive.]
[Now that I have a second chance at life, it would be better to directly appoint my concubine, Li Jia, as my principal wife. This would also give Hongxi a legitimate status as a legitimate son in the future.]
Yinreng was thinking about this matter in his mind, and Kangxi was terrified when he heard it.
Shi Wenbing will die in a few years?
Didn’t you keep any of the children born to Guwalja?
What about that concubine Li Jia? It sounds like Baocheng likes her very much.
Kangxi asked tentatively, "Does Baocheng have a favorite candidate? Although the choice of your Crown Princess is related to the politics of the court, you must also like it yourself."
When Yinreng heard Kangxi say this, he carefully flipped through several other booklets and indeed found Li Jia's portrait and introduction.
"Father, I think Li Jiashi, the daughter of Commandant Shuer Deku, is a good choice. She looks dignified and has a humble family background, but at least she won't have to deal with any aristocratic families in the future."
Empress Xiaozhuang frowned. "The daughter of Commandant Shuer Deku? What kind of family background is that? She could be a concubine or a sidekick, but how could she be the Crown Princess?"
The Queen Mother remained silent.
There was no need for her to interrupt in this situation.
According to normal thinking, Kangxi would not agree.
But now that he had heard what Yinreng was thinking, he no longer liked Shi Wenbing and Guwalgiya.
"I'll think about this matter again."
Yinreng didn't say much. As long as the emperor was willing to consider it, that would be the best.
In fact, it doesn’t matter even if Li Jia cannot be enthroned as the Crown Princess in this life, and it doesn’t matter even if the Crown Princess is still Guaerjia in the end.
As for fate, if it is so easy to change, what is it called fate?
After Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he sent people to investigate Shi Wenbing's health first, and then sent people to investigate Li Jia's reputation.
The feedback came in a few days.
Shi Wenbing was not in good health. Although he did not tell others what was wrong with him, he did see doctors many times.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I have searched everywhere for a doctor.
As for Li Jia, you can find out about her by just asking some female members of the royal family.
We always have contact with each other as we enjoy flowers together and participate in poetry and painting activities on weekdays.
After some evaluation, everyone said that this girl was pretty and lively, and that she was someone who could read people's expressions, had a strong personality but was not arrogant.
At this point, Kangxi took the initiative to find Xiaozhuang and told her the results of the investigation in detail.
The grandfather and grandson were silent for a long time, and Xiaozhuang gave in.
There is just one thing, if Li Jia becomes the Crown Princess, the concubine must be someone with a good family background.
It's impossible that the entire Yuqing Palace is filled with low-class women.
Kangxi did not dare to refute, and quickly agreed, and immediately issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage.
As soon as the imperial edict was leaked, everyone was shocked.
Even Li Jia herself was filled with shock and disbelief.
Shouldn't she be a concubine? How did she become the Crown Princess?
"Miss, congratulations, you will be the Crown Princess in the future."
Fu Liu, the personal maid, was extremely happy, but after she had spoken for a long time, she discovered that her master was not very happy at all, but instead looked puzzled.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Li Jia shook her head. "Nothing. I was just wondering... what had happened to cause such a dramatic reversal of my fate."
