As usual, Wanwan slept until late morning before getting up. After washing up, she waited for Kangxi to come and have dinner.
But at that moment, Chang Ping rushed in looking flustered.
Only after reaching the outer perimeter did he tell Wanwan, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
Wanwan was also startled by Changping's menstrual cramps, because his face looked so panicked, it didn't seem like a trivial matter.
Wanwan: "What's wrong? Tell me properly, don't rush."
Changping, looking like he was about to cry, said, "Fourth Prince... Fourth Prince cut off Ninth Prince's hair."
These words surprised Tingyu and Tingfeng, who were also Manchus.
Wanwan herself knew that Manchus wore short hair only when there was a national mourning or a husband's death, but now everything was fine.
But there is neither national mourning nor husband's mourning right now. If Emperor Kangxi finds out, and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who is above him, finds out, a punishment is inevitable.
Wanwan, please elaborate.
Actually, Wanwan had already thought of it, because there seems to have been a similar event in history. Back then, Qing Dynasty dramas were very popular, so Wanwan naturally knew a lot about this period of history.
But we still need to ask about the process, even if it's just for show.
Changping was very clever. He ran in, but he didn't shout from afar that something had happened to the Empress.
Changping continued to explain the details: "It was the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was looking at the Fourth Prince's puppy, and then he cut off the Fourth Prince's dog's fur."
Changping said, "This little Pekingese was originally very much loved by Sa Ge, but because the Ninth Prince wanted to anger the Fourth Prince, he cut it off. So the Fourth Prince, in a fit of anger, cut off the Ninth Prince's braid. What should Your Majesty do now?"
Upon hearing this, Wanwan recalled how, when Qing Dynasty dramas were popular, Emperor Kangxi described the Fourth Prince as "unpredictable and capricious."
Has this label been attached to the Fourth Prince ever since? From then on, the Fourth Prince became increasingly silent.
But now that Wanwan has arrived, we can't let the Fourth Prince continue to be labeled as such.
Why? Because the author likes him.
The best course of action now is to teach the Fourth Prince a lesson before Consort Yi causes trouble.
That little Pekingese was a gift from Wanwan; the Fourth Prince really loved dogs.
However, Wanwan was worried that other cats and dogs might not be clean, so she asked the system to create one. This dog was very well-behaved.
The Fourth Prince also liked it very much, so it's quite normal for him to do something like this in a fit of anger.
However, the punishment must still be imposed, otherwise things will get out of control, especially when punished by Emperor Kangxi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
Wanwan said, "Changping, go and call Yinzhen over."
As Wanwan spoke, she turned and walked inside, then said to Tingyu, "Take out my ruler."
Tingyu was very obedient and immediately went to get it. She didn't dare to plead for the Fourth Prince because the mistake he made was too big, and Manchus couldn't easily cut their hair.
Wanwan walked into the hall and sat down in a chair, as if the county magistrate were about to hear a case.
On the table to the right was a ruler, and now they were just waiting for Yinzhen to arrive.
Wanwan personally punished Yinzhen, and the punishment had to be severe, not too lenient.
This way, Emperor Kangxi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang could let him go and not hold it against him, and they could also shut Consort Yi up.
Originally, Wanwan thought she loved Yinzhen very much in this life and gave him the best of everything. She thought this incident would never happen, mainly because she had forgotten about it. Who knew it would still happen.
Regardless of the circumstances, the words Emperor Kangxi used to describe Yinzhen in history should never be repeated in his lifetime.
Wanwan sat in the chair, pondering how to punish him, wondering if Consort Yi would follow.
Let's rate them, kids!
Let's generate electricity with love!
(?????)?? Love you all, muah!
