Chapter 13: Thirteen Days of Wanting to Die

Defei also looked a little unhappy. She was not a good mother to Yinzhen.

She has her own considerations and she wants to plan for herself. She has been used to it for so many years.

When Tong Jia died, Yinzhen was already grown up and she had to take care of Xiaoliu, so she had no energy to raise another child.

At the time, Defei's position was unstable and she had to take care of several children, which exhausted her both mentally and physically.

Yinzhen had that kind of temper, and she felt guilty towards him, and didn't know how to get along with him, and Yinzhen was not close to her.

But if the fourth prince really ascends the throne in the future, Concubine De will have to do something.

Especially Little Fourteen, who is very competitive, is bound to suffer a great loss.

De Fei covered her mouth with a handkerchief, then thought for a moment before saying, "You two are still young, there is no need to rush for the child, Xiao Ru is still young."

Xiaoru is the nickname of Si Fujin.

Defei sighed. She was also trying to persuade them as someone who had experienced this.

I know that these princes are anxious to have children, but think about what Da Fujin’s body has become like in order to have children.

Defei held Xiaoru's hand and gave her sincere advice.

It would have been fine if Yinzhen wasn't here just now, but now that he is here, Si Fujin's face immediately turned red.

It was somewhat embarrassing to say this in front of the Fourth Master, and he really wanted a child.

When Yin Zhuo saw his fourth sister-in-law looking at Yinzhen timidly, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and thought, what an evil feudal society.

How old is Fourth Sister-in-law?

[Fourth brother is really a beast. Fourth sister-in-law looks like a child. Early marriage and early childbearing are not good. How can the child be healthy if the mother's body is not well taken care of? When Honghui was born, Fourth sister-in-law was not even an adult. No wonder he died at the age of eight.]

What?!

The cup in Yinzhen's hand almost broke.

Yinzhen was stunned. The child he had with Fujin died young?

Calling him Honghui sounds better than Hongxi and Hongyu.

Yinzhen felt it.

But what does Sixth Brother mean? Is it because Fu Jin was too young that the child was born weak and was not raised?

Yinzhen couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

He looked at Si Fujin. Si Fujin's eyes were slightly red with a moist luster, and he felt uncomfortable at first sight.

Well, it seems that Fu Jin knew it before.

He and Fu Jin were a young couple. He was three years older than Fu Jin, and Fu Jin was younger when they got married.

Recently, the two have been discussing having a child, after all, Fu Jin has reached the age of 15.

Another ceremony was held during the Lantern Festival, and the two consummated their marriage.

Yinzhen pursed his lips. He didn't want to experience the pain of losing his son. The child was already eight years old. If he left his side, Yinzhen would never be able to accept it, let alone Fujin.

Yinzhen felt that his sixth brother was right and that the child should not be kept.

E'niang just said that for the sake of Fujin's good relationship with him.

Yinzhen agreed, "Don't worry, my lady. Fujin is still young. I will wait until he is eighteen or nineteen before I have a legitimate son."

In the struggle for power, the legitimate son is also a bargaining chip.

It is one of the criteria for ministers to choose to support.

If the eldest brother didn't have a legitimate son yet, there would be more people supporting him.

The reason why my second brother’s current position is so stable is because Hongxi was born, and the Qing Dynasty has a successor for the future.

Si Fujin felt sad. The Fourth Master was thinking about her, but she would have to wait another four or five years. By that time, who knows how many children would be born in the mansion. How would she maintain her position?

Si Fujin is young and immature, and his thoughts are written on his face.

Yinzhen sighed in his heart and decided to have a serious talk with Fujin when he got back.

"My dear, no one from my house will be accepted in this year's beauty pageant."

Yinzhen suddenly spoke.

After hearing Yinzhen's words, Si Fujin suddenly raised her head. Is the Fourth Master... trying to coax her?

De Fei rubbed her brows, feeling a headache: "Okay, I'll let the sixth son choose. If you don't choose, I'll save myself some effort."

Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Concubine De's joking remarks.

Honghui, Honghui, my dear baby, you have to wait a few more years this time. Dama will wait for you to be born healthy and grow up healthy.

"No, I don't want it. We have already agreed on this. Why is your mother still bringing up the matter of selecting a beauty?"

Yin Zhuo didn't understand.

[What show are you choosing? She is a concubine of a noble family. How old is the emperor? He still likes pretty girls. How shameless! There are already many people in the mansions of my brothers. Why are they adding more people? I really don't understand. Alas, I still prefer monogamy. ]

Kangxi's face turned black when he just came in. What does this little brat mean?

Is the show selection for him?

It's because these princes have grown up and are of age to marry Fu Jin. Those girls are prepared for these sons, not for him.

"Ahem. What are you talking about? You look so happy? How's my beloved concubine?" Kangxi came in quietly and startled everyone in the room as soon as he spoke.

The emperor is becoming more and more mysterious. He doesn't even allow anyone to announce his arrival.

The palace maid noticed the look in Concubine De's eyes and felt a little aggrieved. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, he had to listen.

After the greetings, Yin Zhuo said, "Father, please tell my mother not to choose a concubine for me. I am not worthy of a lady like her."

Yin Zhuo blushed a little.

Kangxi and Defei sat up straight involuntarily, then stared at Yin Zhuo from head to toe, and then their eyes focused on one place.

"Xiao Liu, tell me honestly, do you have any other health problems?"

Concubine De's face changed.

Kangxi also said nervously: "I'm sorry to tell your mother, you can tell your brothers, or ask them for advice."

Is this Xiaoliu impotent?

Kangxi felt overwhelmed because Xiaoliu had been bedridden for so many years and had no experience at all.

Yin Zhuo was confused. What did it mean?

[This is outrageous. What are you looking at? I just don’t want to delay the girl. I died and left before the show was over. Wouldn’t this delay her life?]

"It's okay. I'm in good health."

Yin Zhuo was very unhappy.

Yinzhen: ...

Since the Fourth Concubine Jin and Tana Ujina are still around, it is not appropriate for Kangxi and Defei to continue this topic.

Kangxi said seriously: "Fujin still needs to choose, and then you can choose by yourself. You just need to take good care of your health."

Yin Zhuo: …

[This stinky old man can choose the beauty he wants by himself, but he has to drag me along. I wonder if the emperor went to feed the fish last night, and if he saw the concubine who kidnapped people while feeding the fish? ]

Yin Zhuo suddenly thought of the melon he had eaten halfway yesterday.

Defei's eyes became fierce. The methods used by these people were the same ones they had used before.

A palace maid came to report last night that the man had been banished to the cold palace.

Kangxi was very angry this time, maybe it was because Xiaoliu's true thoughts were revealed.

Speaking of this, Kangxi went there yesterday. After meeting her, he realized how fake her acting was. After being exposed by Xiaoliu, he lost all mood.

So the concubine who bumped into him suffered.

"You've already turned fifteen, it's time for you to get married, just like your fourth brother. Who knows, you might even have another nephew next year."

Kangxi knew the situation of the several princes very well and knew that the fourth prince and his wife were planning to have a child.

He strongly supports this matter. The more little grandchildren there are, the better he likes it.

【Forget it, the fourth brother had several children. The eldest, Honghui, was the eldest son, but died at the age of eight. After that, the fourth sister-in-law never got pregnant again. Honghui died at the age of two or three and didn't even have a chronological order. The second, Hongyun, lived a little longer and died at the age of ten. The third, Hongshi, and the fourth, Hongli, were Qianlong. His mother was Niuhulu, the second empress of Yongzheng. The next one was the iron-hat prince Hongzhu, who had the best relationship with Hongli. After Yongzheng's death, the prodigal son Qianlong treated this younger brother the best. But how can a normal prince hold his own funeral?】

Yin Zhuo had a lot of complaints about Yinzhen's children, which were totally different from the situation of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne.

The room was so quiet that everyone felt like they couldn't breathe.

Yinzhen didn't expect that having an offspring would be so difficult.

The fourth one, Qianlong?

When it came to him, it was also the fourth son who ascended the throne?

But why do we have to add the adjective “spendthrift” before the word “Sixth Brother”?

Could it be that Hongli spent money lavishly, and in the end the national treasury suffered losses? The people suffered?

Yinzhen really wanted Xiaoliu to explain clearly, he was feeling very upset.

Hongzhu's son is not normal either. He held his own funeral, which sounds ridiculous.

Yinzhen's face darkened.

The prodigal Hongli and Hongzhao who held their own funeral.

What to do? Yinzhen doesn't want either of these two children, and his sons' brain circuits are not normal.

Si Fujin, however, became calm. No wonder the empress after her was Xihulu. It turned out that she became the empress dowager in the end.

She doesn't want anything else now, she just wants her Honghui to grow up.

Si Fujin suddenly felt relieved, but in the end, men were still unreliable and he still had to rely on children.

Her slightly wrinkled brows relaxed, and she finally understood what was going on. The heavy pressure in her heart was relieved a lot.

No matter how those people in the mansion make trouble, they will not be the winners in the end anyway.

Yinzhen didn't know about the changes in Fujin's heart. He was eager to know about Qianlong and Hongzhu.

But he wanted to ask Hongzhuo why he held a funeral for him?

He really couldn't figure it out.

Kangxi's face looked very bad. Xiaoliu even used the adjective "spendthrift", which showed that Hongli must have done something.

Could it be that Hongli also likes touring the south?

Kangxi really couldn't think of any hobbies that could make money.

And there is this guy called Hong Zhao, who doesn't even think it's unlucky? How can he hold a funeral for himself?

Kangxi glared at Yinzhen, thinking that there must be something wrong with the fourth child's education.

Concubine De was also upset. She had also experienced the early death of her child. "Your Majesty, the fourth son and his wife are still young. There is no need to rush for the child. When the child is born, bring him to the palace to be raised. With Your Majesty watching over him, the imperial grandchildren will definitely not have any problems."

Yin Zhuo thought that E'niang was trying to flatter Kangxi.

I couldn't help but curl my lips.

Kangxi saw this and said unhappily, "Why? I raised you all, so it's easy for me to take care of a few little grandchildren."

Yin Zhuo said obediently: "Yes, yes, that's for sure. I am so outstanding, it must be the credit of the emperor. It's a pity that I can no longer show my filial piety in front of the emperor."

Kangxi: Here it comes again.

Kangxi shook his head. He was numb. Xiaoliu said this every day.

"Then who do you think should raise a better child, mine or your fourth brother's?" Kangxi asked tentatively.

"All is well."

What Yin Zhuo is best at is to fool people into thinking that something is wrong, which is just like someone asking their father or mother who they like best.

Isn't it just a matter of balancing the two?

I said this, but in my heart I thought the opposite.

[Neither is good.]

Kangxi choked, and Yinzhen no longer dared to raise his head.

【The eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother. His brothers fought to the death. Nine dragons fought for the heir. Nine dragons fought for the heir. They said it was nine dragons, but how many of them had a good ending in the end? Kangxi even imprisoned his favorite second brother and killed him. How can he have the nerve to say that he was the best at raising children? The emperor’s heart is the most ruthless. He doesn’t even trust the children he raised with his own hands. I don’t want to talk about the children of the fourth brother. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he spent almost all the money that his father had worked so hard to save. And I don’t know who he learned to write some sour poems. One, two, three, four, five... He wrote poems about counting. He was a bad person. I can tell from one glance that the fourth brother never cared about this child.】

Yinzhen: ...

Kangxi: ...

Kangxi considered himself to be well-educated, but these two pieces still shocked him.

Yinzhen stopped talking, his face was burning, it was the first time he felt embarrassed for his unborn child.

What is this?
