Perhaps that would allow her to leave the palace sooner.
She went to live with her adopted son to enjoy her later years.
This was something she had always looked forward to. After all, as a concubine, she could never leave the palace in her entire life. But if the emperor died in the future and her son grew up, she would have the opportunity to go out.
But after so many years in the palace, he had long since become complacent and didn't want to stay there any longer. He longed to leave as soon as possible.
Her feelings for Emperor Kangxi were quite complicated. Of course, she had been attracted to him when she was young, but due to the circumstances of her family, there was a deep-seated hatred between them. Although she was a concubine and had been educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood, how could she possibly reconcile with Emperor Kangxi with such a deep-seated hatred? So they both tacitly kept their distance from each other.
She couldn't commit suicide, couldn't follow her father away, because she had a family behind her, so she could only eke out a living.
As time went by, she forgot about that worry and lived a peaceful and uneventful life in the palace. Although it wasn't exactly a carefree existence, it was peaceful and worry-free...
So when he found out about this matter and learned that the Fourth Prince had no intention of returning to Consort De's side,
She was deeply moved.
Becoming the Fourth Prince's adoptive mother would have many advantages, the biggest being that the Fourth Prince is now old and wouldn't require too much of his energy.
If she were to raise a younger child, Consort Jing would worry that she wouldn't have the energy, since her health wasn't particularly good, and after enjoying so much of her quiet life over the years, she wouldn't be used to having it disrupted.
In the end, the two hit it off and each got what they wanted, and the matter was settled. Now, everything is settled, and she has a son...
This is certainly a good thing; at least I'll have someone to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die.
Yinzhen thought to himself that he would be living in the Princes' Residence from now on, but Consort Jing was now his nominal mother, so he would definitely have to pay his respects to her. Moreover, Consort Jing's residence was so close to Consort Yi's residence, so they would have to visit each other frequently in the future.
Moreover, he also learned from his new mother that Consort Yi had been kind to him in the past.
For these reasons alone, he wouldn't have any dislike for Xiao Jiu, not to mention how kind his second brother, the Crown Prince, was to him, and also because of Jing Rou.
Ah... Jingrou didn't know much about history before she transmigrated, but she had watched some Qing Dynasty dramas, so she roughly knew that the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince in history was very bad!
As for how bad things are, it's hard to say, but the relationship certainly isn't good!
If this hadn't happened, the Fourth Prince would have demoted the Ninth Prince to a very far place after ascending the throne, and even stripped him of his princely status!
This already shows that the two brothers had a deep-seated blood feud at that time.
But now, looking at the Fourth Prince standing beside her, much taller and with a composed expression, Jingrou suddenly couldn't imagine what it would be like if the two of them fell out...
At least for the next few years, while Xiao Jiu is still a little kid, the two of them won't start fighting.
After all, he's still a baby, and he wants to play with everyone he sees. He's not shy at all!
I simply can't imagine that the two of them might become irreconcilable enemies in the future.
It's too early to think about these things now. After all, with the Fourth Prince's magnanimity, he wouldn't bother with a little kid!
However, Jingrou really couldn't imagine that their relationship would become so bad in the future!
Yinreng accompanied Yinzhen to Consort Jing's place this time, which was actually just to express an attitude. The Crown Prince and Yinzhen had a very close relationship, and no one would think that the Emperor was disrespecting him or anything because of the Emperor changing his imperial genealogy. It was also a way of implicitly supporting Yinzhen.
They didn't separate until they reached the entrance of Yikun Palace. After all, given Yinreng's status, if he went into Yikun Palace, Consort Yi would come out to greet him, so it would be too much trouble. Jingrou was still hungry!
When Consort Yi saw that it was him who had returned alone, she would definitely want to ask where the Fifth Prince was.
Jingrou didn't know about her cousin's situation. After sitting down and playing with Xiao Jiu for a while, she saw her cousin rushing back.
At this time, Xiao Jiu had just finished eating and drinking, and then took a nap, so she was full of energy.
Moreover, he is very clever. He has figured out the pattern at this time of day. It is roughly when his mother and the others are about to eat. Although he can't eat much of their food yet, he will look at it longingly, looking like he really wants to try it, and his mouth will keep watering.
His appearance was heartbreaking, but knowing that he was still young and couldn't eat their food, Jing Shilu had to harden his heart and not look at him, so that he wouldn't be too soft-hearted.
His newly emerging little teeth are very itchy, and he'll be grinding them around. At this time, the wet nurse has to give him a durable, chewable snack to shut his mouth...
"Didn't I tell you to bring your cousin back with you? Where have you run off to again?" Consort Yi glared at her. It wasn't that she was overly cautious, but Jingrou was still young, and Consort Yi was a little worried about leaving her alone in the palace. Even if the nanny by her side was very considerate, she was still someone from outside the palace and could easily be bullied by people in the palace!
In particular, Consort Yi was an insider about the last assassination attempt.
Even the Emperor isn't truly safe in this capital city, so how could she bear to let her little niece return all alone?
Yinqi lowered his head sheepishly. "Mother, I heard some news, but I was so focused on it that I forgot about my cousin... Mother, I promise I'll never forget her again." He scratched his head, glancing apologetically at Jingrou. It was truly wrong of him to leave his cousin there alone; she was waiting for him...
"But I heard..." He rolled his eyes and then changed the subject. Consort Yi was a little annoyed. She didn't know whose side her son was on, and why he was so gossipy and curious about so many things.
Sometimes she really worried that she might have learned it from the Empress Dowager, but looking at the Empress Dowager's appearance, she wasn't the kind of person who particularly liked gossip. How could she have raised someone like this?
Jingrou was being held by her little cousin, who was pulling on her skirt so she couldn't get away. She was also listening to her cousin telling her strange gossip with one ear.
