Prince An felt wronged, but he was a little embarrassed to say it in front of the Emperor, as it seemed inconsistent with his previous dignified and solemn image. He couldn't bring himself to say it, and at the same time, his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Emperor Kangxi.
Hmph, that's his own son. If he can't talk to the Crown Prince, then he'll blame the Emperor. I don't know how he raised that good son, who actually fell for his own granddaughter. She's so young, several years younger than the child. How could he have fallen for her?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is really going too far! This old minister actually forced me to deliver a letter to my granddaughter, who is still so young!" He spoke with great distress, as if his granddaughter had suffered a terrible fate. This made Emperor Kangxi feel somewhat embarrassed, and he also blamed Yinreng. You've gotten the benefit and you're still acting innocent. You could have just kept quiet!
He knew perfectly well how much Prince An doted on his granddaughter.
First, make this matter a reality and make the young girl happy, then tell others about it. Now even Prince An knows about it!
"Prince An, don't be anxious. I will summon that brat over and question him properly. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Prince An curled his lip. What explanation? He was just angry about the matter. Now his grandson was already expressing his feelings to the other person every day. If this got out, Zhuzhu would feel guilty and resent him. Wouldn't he just become the villain who broke up a loving couple?
“This matter is not urgent. Your Majesty, this is essentially a matter between the two children, but this old minister must make it clear to you beforehand.” Prince An sat up straight.
Emperor Kangxi sat up straight, knowing that this old fox would never do anything unprepared. He had anticipated that this old fox would come today and that the old fox must have something to say. And now it had already begun!
Prince An continued, "Your Majesty, as you know, this is the only granddaughter I have. She is the child of my daughter. She was frail when she was young, and I truly cherished her, treating her like a precious gem. She was pampered from childhood. The Crown Prince, of course, was also raised under my watchful eye. His excellence goes without saying, thanks to Your Majesty's meticulous guidance." He then shifted his focus to the Crown Prince. Emperor Kangxi, inevitably, nodded in satisfaction; he was certainly very pleased with this Crown Prince.
“Logically speaking, it’s a good thing that the two children have developed feelings for each other. Old Chen has never thought of interfering in his granddaughter’s affairs, but nowadays, this old minister is still worried about Zhuzhu…” Prince An covered his face.
Originally, he only intended to say this to Emperor Kangxi, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but get emotional. The thought of his granddaughter getting married in the future must have made him extremely reluctant to part with her!
He spent the whole night thinking about it, wavering between going to the Crown Prince to settle accounts and going to the Emperor, but in the end he decided to go to the Emperor.
Anyway, he couldn't change Zhuzhu's mind. He could only hope that Zhuzhu would have a smooth life in the future. Even if she married into the royal family, he hoped she would not suffer any grievances. She would still have her maternal grandfather backing her up!
