When Jingrou first saw Yinzhen, she noticed that his complexion was much better than before; he no longer looked gloomy. Although his eyes still didn't seem particularly happy, it was a significant improvement.
Yinzhen had never been a talkative person, but even though he wasn't talkative before, his eyes were still bright and shining.
He may be naturally quiet and not very talkative, but he is friendly and enjoys listening to others.
But ever since Empress Tongjia passed away, that light seems to have disappeared, leaving a somewhat lifeless feeling. The more time you spend looking at her, the sadder you feel.
Jingrou isn't a saint, but seeing Yinzhen's behavior in the past, and comparing it to his current situation, she feels even more sorry for him.
But now she feels much better. Jingrou suddenly remembered that Consort De in history was the later Empress Dowager...
But now that the imperial genealogy has been transferred out, history will certainly not continue in the original direction.
Furthermore, there is no historical fact that Emperor Yongzheng transferred his imperial genealogy records out of the country!
Now that the imperial genealogy has been transferred, Yinzhen's mother will truly be recorded as Consort Jing in historical records. If unofficial histories no longer record Consort De, she might never appear in any historical records related to Yinzhen!
Don't underestimate the power of the imperial genealogy. Although everyone inside and outside the palace knows that Yinzhen's biological mother is Consort De, this knowledge is only known to this generation.
Moreover, once the imperial register is changed, it's equivalent to changing a person's household registration or ID card information; that means it's completely changed.
From now on, Consort De will no longer use the fact that she is Yinzhen's biological mother as leverage to deal with him or to use filial piety to make him submit!
After all, the imperial edict was issued by Emperor Kangxi himself, and Consort De could never surpass Emperor Kangxi's authority!
Jingrou was also somewhat surprised that Emperor Kangxi would actually agree to this matter, but when she asked Yinreng, no one gave her any detailed information.
It's best if as few people as possible know about this kind of thing; the more people know, the more likely it is to harm her.
Although Yinreng hadn't told her, Jingrou knew in her heart that he must have played a role in it.
Although he appears gentle and mild-mannered, he actually doesn't get involved in many things, and very few people can truly enter his heart and treat him sincerely. Perhaps because he has seen a lot since childhood, it's not easy for anyone to please him.
However, in this matter, Yinzhen himself took the initiative to get involved.
Jingrou didn't ask any more questions, but she vaguely understood that history had already unfolded in an irreversible direction, in a way that was completely different from the original history.
"Xiao Jiu has slowly stood up and is walking. Crown Prince, you must not let him see you. He's such a show-off. Once he sees someone, he'll chase after them relentlessly and insist on playing with them!" Jingrou chattered on and on, telling him all the interesting things about Xiao Jiu.
She thought children were really fun; every expression they made was so rich and funny.
She usually talks to her girlfriends about topics that only girls would discuss, so she didn't know what to say to them for a moment.
If only Yinreng were present, things could be more casual, but since she wasn't particularly familiar with Yinzhen, she started by discussing topics related to the palace…
Yinreng smiled. Although he didn't know much about his little brother yet, he already knew a lot about him from Jingrou, including how mischievous he was and how he always insisted on playing with his older cousin…
Then there's the other person's crazy antics; whatever Jingrou said about them was full of disdain yet also deep affection.
If you weren't really very close to him, you wouldn't know so much about him.
And despite Jingrou's disdainful tone, he has been present at every stage of Xiao Jiu's growth...
They are now around ten years old. Although they are not yet at the age where they need to avoid such things, they are already very careful and try not to go to the palaces of the concubines. Even if they do go, it's only for a short while. So, although he has met Xiao Jiu a few times, they haven't spent much time together.
"Okay, then I'll have to avoid him for now..." Yinreng went along with Jingrou's suggestion, and in his heart, he really didn't dislike playing with Xiao Jiu at all.
Because of Jingrou's influence, he was very interested in and cared about his younger brother.
Yinzhen didn't speak, but he silently nodded in his heart.
He had met Consort Jing a few times before. Consort Jing also played a role in the Khan's agreement this time. Her thoughts were very simple. Although she was now all alone, with no one left in her family and no ties to anyone, she still hoped that someone would take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days.
She didn't want to be forgotten in history. Even if she was buried in a concubine's mausoleum, she hoped to have a name for herself, and the best way to do that was to have a prince.
However, her relationship with Emperor Kangxi wasn't good, and she didn't have any children... Although she's not even 30 yet, she doesn't have the inclination to have children or the desire to raise them...
She was used to this quiet life and didn't want anyone to disrupt it, let alone compete for favor.
That would be better than finding a prince who had lost his mother and raising him by her side; that was her original thought.
Based on the Emperor's feelings of guilt towards her, and considering that she had always lived a low-key life, she was confident that the Emperor would agree to this matter.
She originally had no intention of targeting Yinzhen, because everyone knew that he had a biological mother. Although Consort De was not very favored at the moment, she was still quite prominent.
However, he overheard some rumors, and since the Fourth Prince was indeed a bit older, being a bit older meant he would leave the palace and establish his own residence earlier in the future.
