Chapter 226 Extra - Watching the Movie 17
Not knowing what was wrong with the second prince, but just by looking at his eyes, one could tell he wasn't thinking anything good. Yinzhi glared back fiercely, then looked at the capable ministers on the sky vying to become the little crown prince, feeling a pang of sadness.
Who understands how difficult it is for him to be the eldest prince!
If the young crown prince really were his younger brother, he certainly wouldn't have competed with him. In the end, it's because Yinreng wasn't qualified!
Fuquan smiled and exclaimed that Changquan was indeed his son, full of ambition;
Yin Zhi was fully immersed in the role. After assessing his own abilities, he realized that he was both a scholar and a warrior, and that he deserved to be a capable minister.
Yinzhen sneered disdainfully, "To think you can take their place? You're dreaming! Little Yinzhen has always been number one in front of the Crown Prince, okay?"
As for the usually silent and honest Yinqi, he was speechless with emotion. Was there really no one to speak up for him? So what if he couldn't speak Mandarin? He can speak Mandarin now! Very well! Absolutely!
In December of the 26th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the Empress Dowager, on her deathbed, separately summoned the Kangxi Emperor and his son, Yinreng.
“Baocheng, don’t really put yourself on the guise of a Buddhist disciple. You are the Crown Prince, a prince of the Aisin Gioro clan, and my great-grandson. You don’t need to try to save the common people, nor do you need to save me.”
“Your imperial father is devoted to you. After Ukuma leaves, for your imperial father’s sake, you must hold onto the position of crown prince. Don’t leave him, and don’t suffer the same heartbreak as my son. You are Xuan Ye’s reins. If you let him go, he will go mad.”
"No matter what happens in the future, don't abandon him, don't let him become a lonely emperor, don't abandon your father..."
But when facing Emperor Kangxi, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang gave a different explanation.
"Xuan Ye, I have had little motherly bond in my life, but with you and Bao Cheng, that's enough... You and Bao Cheng must take good care of yourselves... take good care of yourselves..."
“Baocheng has a compassionate heart… This is both good and bad. Promise me… No matter what, you must protect him. Even if he doesn’t become the crown prince, he is still your son… Remember that…”
A profound sense of grief enveloped Kangxi and Yinreng. As they looked at Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang on the sky, who was still considering their relationship as father and son even on her deathbed, tears streamed down their faces.
“Ukuma Ma…”
"Grandma..."
Compared to Yinreng, Kangxi's remembrance and emotion were tinged with a hint of guilt. No matter which world they were in, his grandmother's heart for him was equally sincere, and her dying words were almost identical.
But in recent years, he has gradually forgotten her last words and her promise to be a good father.
Without Tianmu, he might never have realized the unease and displeasure he felt beneath his seemingly normal affection for Baocheng.
It's his fault, it's all his fault.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Kangxi pulled Yinreng into his arms again: "Baocheng, I will protect you."
"Father Emperor." Yinreng buried his head and wept bitterly. At this moment, he was truly missing Ukuma, who had always been good to him.
The princes, who were initially moved by the scene depicted by the father and son, instantly lost all feeling after seeing this. It's true, they always act as if the other party doesn't exist.
Couldn't Father Emperor privately express his boundless paternal love, which was directed solely at Yinreng?
They do this every day in front of them, no wonder they don't get along with Yinreng.
In the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was also on her deathbed. She held Yinzhen's hand tightly, looked at the young man who had grown up, and her eyes were full of guilt: "Yinzhen... I'm sorry for you. Over the years, I have neglected you and spent too little time on you, which has caused you to suffer."
Yinzhen burst into tears, shaking his head and choking back sobs, "Mother, don't say these things, you will definitely get better."
Lady Tongjia gave a wry smile, coughed a few times, and continued, "From now on, you must follow the Crown Prince closely. He is of noble status and likes you. If you stay close to him, you will be less likely to encounter any trouble..."
(My mother is gone; I only hope you can live a better life.)
When Lady Tongjia met with Emperor Kangxi alone, she pleaded with him to divide her dowry in half between the Crown Prince and Yinzhen, hoping to ensure Yinzhen would receive more protection. Yinzhen, who overheard this outside the door, wept uncontrollably.
Even Yinzhen, standing before the Qianqing Palace, couldn't help but shed tears. The maternal love he had longed for in several worlds finally existed.
Perhaps it wasn't much, but at this moment, Yinzhen and the little version of himself in the sky shared the same feeling and both felt relieved.
Moreover, looking at the young Yinzhen on the sky, who was cared for by his many brothers and lovingly cared for by the young crown prince, he had no regrets.
At least, there is one world where he can find happiness.
Infected by the young Yinzhen's relief and clarity, Yinzhen's coldness dissipated considerably, and he became less tense, showing a change in temperament, much like a cloud turning into sunshine.
Yinzhi felt silently gratified, but Yintang felt extremely uncomfortable watching him. He wanted to say something, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He hated himself for being kind-hearted, even to his mortal enemies. Yin Tang scratched his head in bewilderment when Yin saw him: "Ninth Brother, how many days has it been since you washed up?"
"Who hasn't washed up yet!"
Having at least remembered the lesson he learned before, Yinzhen lowered his voice and argued unhappily.
Yin asked sincerely, "Then what are you moving around for? Aren't you itchy?"
"Shut up! No!"
Although the two were not speaking loudly, they were not far away, and Yinzhen, Yinsi, and others in front of them still heard them.
Yinzhi subconsciously turned around and glanced at him, saying thoughtfully, "I remember you were wearing this outfit yesterday, Ninth Brother..."
"I made several sets of the same clothes!"
"I made the same one because I really liked the material!" Yin Tang explained frantically, but no one seemed to believe him.
Yinzhen pulled Yinti forward silently, keeping him away from Yintang. The Fourteenth Prince was still young; it wouldn't be good if he caught lice.
His movement caused the other princes beside him to stir as well, which made Yinzhen's face turn red with anger!
She glared fiercely at Yinzhen's back. That hateful fourth prince, he shouldn't have pitied him!
In the 29th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, during his personal campaign against the Dzungar Khanate, the emperor fell ill. Upon receiving the news, Yinreng disregarded all objections and rushed to his side at top speed.
Travel-worn and disheveled, after inquiring about Kangxi's condition from Liang Jiugong, they prepared to change their clothes before visiting Kangxi.
When this scene appeared in the sky, even the furious Yinzhen fell silent, and everyone subconsciously looked at Kangxi and his son Yinreng.
Despite the Emperor's continued kindness towards the Crown Prince, anyone with a bit of inside information knew that after the incident in the twenty-ninth year, the Emperor's attitude towards the Crown Prince became somewhat distant for a period of time. It wasn't until someone provoked the Crown Prince that the Emperor changed his attitude.
Unlike Tianmu, the Third Prince Yinzhi and the Crown Prince went there together back then.
Thinking of this, Suo'etu glared at Yinzhi. It was the Third Prince who was cunning. The Crown Prince didn't want to see the Emperor with his body covered in dirt, so he went to wash up. But the Third Prince didn't wash up, making the Crown Prince seem unfilial. Didn't he know that patients shouldn't come into contact with dirty things?
Receiving Suo'etu's sharp gaze and the knowing looks from the others, Yin Zhi felt flustered and aggrieved. He really didn't mean it, and he didn't have much of his own opinion.
But between having one's own father as emperor and one's brother as emperor, it's definitely more enjoyable for the father to be emperor. So when he learned that his father was ill, he was so panicked that he didn't think about anything else.
Yinzhi felt wronged, while the other two parties involved in the incident, Kangxi and Yinreng, were both quite tense at the moment.
Even if they were acting out a deep father-son bond just a moment ago, now, faced with the real estrangement, they are filled with mixed emotions and don't know how to deal with it.
They looked up at the sky in tacit agreement. How would Kangxi (the young crown prince) deal with that world?
