Yinzhi had a headache.
Of course, it's because he already has someone he loves. He's now eagerly hoping that Wenying will agree to their relationship so that he can get his mother to grant him the marriage!
Or he could go directly to his father, the Khan, to discuss the matter, bypassing his mother. A while ago, his father had subtly inquired whether he had a girl he liked or wanted to arrange a marriage for him. Clearly, he was fed up with his mother and that's why he came to talk to him!
After years of hard work, it seems like the results are about to be achieved. What is the purpose of taking a concubine at this time?
Wouldn't all my efforts be in vain? Besides, I have absolutely no interest in touching those women!
With Wenying around, how could he see anyone else? When she first met him and later fell in love with him, she felt that nothing else mattered except for Wushan. How much more so after three years of getting to know each other?
Over the past three years, although their relationship has not progressed by leaps and bounds, it has made great strides. At least his attitude is not as resistant as before, and he even took the initiative to talk to him last time. Just thinking about this makes Yinzhi's heart surge with excitement.
However, his mother was relentless in her pursuit of this matter, which greatly troubled Yinzhi. Moreover, every time he saw his mother, she would inevitably bring up this issue in some roundabout way when she talked about everyday matters.
This left Yinzhi, who was already inclined to delay, feeling quite helpless. The problem was, Wenying hadn't expressed her opinion yet, and he didn't want to rush her, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being. Of course, he really wanted to start a family!
"Mother, do you know how important the matter I discussed with the Crown Prince in court is? How many people in the capital and other places are starving and destitute because of those nobles' land grabbing? This is such an important matter! I have more important things to do; I don't have the mind to think about these things. Mother, you should rest for a while!" He frowned. Although he wanted to delay, they couldn't use delay as an excuse; they had to find a more respectable one…
Consort Hui wasn't stupid either. She sneered, "Don't make up these excuses for me. These two things don't contradict each other at all! Your mother is just a woman. I don't understand the affairs of the court and have no right to interfere. I only want to see you marry, have children, and live a good life. Then you can give me a grandson!"
He knew his son had his own ambitions and wanted to make a name for himself in the court. He knew little about the matter, and when similar things happened, he usually chose to consult his older brothers, so he couldn't control him.
"Alright, alright, Mother, I won't talk to you about this now. I have things to do. You should rest well in the palace. I'll come to pay my respects to you again next time," Yinzhi said, then hurriedly bowed to her and left.
Consort Hui stood behind him, calling out to him in vain! In the blink of an eye, he was gone. He didn't seem like he was coming over, and he ran away so fast. What was he in such a hurry for?!
"This child." Consort Hui was worried. At this moment, she began to feel some resentment towards her brother.
She knew little about matters of the imperial court, so her brother usually made decisions for her. She always trusted her brother, except for this one matter, which she had some reservations about.
She shouldn't have let Baoqing follow the Crown Prince in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have let his heart wander outside. She is now increasingly aware that her silly son's mind is becoming more and more complicated!
Moreover, every time he went out before, Consort Hui felt that she couldn't sleep soundly, and she had to think about herself when eating, wondering if her stupid son was eating enough outside. When he came back, he had become dark and thin, which made her heart ache terribly.
And now it's gotten even worse. Not only does she cause him so much worry, but she also refuses to listen to him at all! He thinks she's nagging.
Looking at his relationship with the Crown Prince, Consort Hui couldn't help but feel very worried. Her son was a brother who valued relationships deeply. If the two became close, what would happen in the struggle for the throne? The two were originally competitors. No matter how good their relationship seemed on the surface, they couldn't keep that affection in their hearts. Bao Qing treated others with genuine feelings, but the Crown Prince might not reciprocate with the same sincerity!
What upset her the most was that Empress Hesheli was in a higher position than her, which resulted in her son being named the crown prince after his birth, while her own son remained unknown!
Although he brushed off the matter of choosing a primary consort with a laugh, Consort Hui was still thinking that she should quickly compile a list of noble ladies in the capital and make arrangements for this matter as soon as possible so that she could choose a suitable primary consort for her son during the next imperial concubine selection!
My own grandson must be put on the agenda!
No matter how much this brat tries to stop her, she won't listen to him!
As for the relationship between Yinzhi and Wenying, Consort Hui was truly unaware. As her son grew older, the people around her became less under her control, and she even dismissed the palace maids who had previously served as her spies.
Especially those trusted eunuchs and nannies, who were all wholeheartedly devoted to their son, sometimes wouldn't even tell her the truth. Although she was dissatisfied with this matter, she was persuaded by Yinreng's firm attitude.
Furthermore, she never suspected that her son would have any contact with young girls in private. Yinzhi usually seemed like a dull and simple-minded blockhead, so how could he have any intention of pleasing young girls?
Furthermore, she has now taken over half of the palace power, so she is usually busy with other matters and has even less time to care about her son's private affairs.
Jingrou learned from her aunt that Yinreng had angered the Emperor. Both princes were punished by the Emperor and confined to their quarters, so Jingrou has not seen Yinreng since.
"Sister, sister, I'm going to plead with Father Khan to release Prince Brother!" Little Jiu said in her childish voice.
Seeing his sister's obvious anxiety, he pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking up.
The four-year-old was at the age when his curiosity was at its peak. Hearing his older sister and mother talking, he had already come over. He held his soft chin with his little hand and listened with his big eyes for a long time.
I don't know if you heard it or not.
Seeing his sister looking worried, he patted his chest. His sister's affairs were his affairs, and this matter involved his beloved Crown Prince brother!
He understood; it seemed his elder brother, the Crown Prince, had done something wrong and was being punished by the Khan. "How foolish of me, the Crown Prince! He actually got punished by the Khan!"
In his opinion, if he did something wrong, he could just go and whine to his father, and his father would definitely forgive him!
The last time he broke a vase in the Qianqing Palace, he did the same thing!
