Listening to the rain and the wind stayed by Wanwan's side, watching her without moving, because Wanwan was very angry.
But they dared not plead for mercy.
Actually, they were overthinking it; Wanwan was just trying to shut up the gossips.
A short while later, Changping summoned Yinzhen over.
At this moment, Yinzhen was still holding his dog. It has to be said that the dog's fur was cut really badly, with clumps of fur that were sometimes long and sometimes short.
They've turned what was originally a cute dog into this.
Seeing Yin Yinzhen enter, he seemed to realize he had made a mistake and knelt down in front of Wanwan. Wanwan gave Tingyu a look, and Tingyu understood, taking the little Pekingese out of Yinzhen's arms.
Yinzhen knelt before Wanwan, who remained silent, simply staring at him.
Originally, Yinzhen had some confidence, after all, the dog was a gift from his mother, and his mother loved him very much.
But now, looking at his mother's eyes, he felt a little guilty and a little scared. After all, he was only five or six years old. How could he not be scared?
In a short while, Yinzhen's eyes filled with tears.
Wanwan: "Yinzhen, do you know your mistake?"
Seeing his mother's serious words, Yinzhen immediately burst into tears. "Mother, don't be angry. I didn't mean it."
Wanwan also gave the child time to confirm the "excuses," or rather, to explain. Wanwan didn't want to immediately hold the child accountable without asking for any reasons.
Wanwan: "Tell me, Mother, listen to me, is it really your fault?"
Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, he was bound to be punished. Just the fact that he cut off Ninth Brother's braid meant this matter was definitely not going to end well.
As Yinzhen listened to his mother's explanation, he suddenly felt relieved. As long as his mother was still willing to listen to his explanation, that was good.
Yinzhen said, "It was my ninth brother who cut off my dog's tail first. That dog was a gift from my mother, and I liked it very much. But my ninth brother cut off the dog's fur, so I cut off my ninth brother's braid in a fit of anger."
Yinzhen said, "My son didn't do it on purpose, but Ninth Brother went too far. We just don't get along, and he cut off my dog's fur."
After he cut his dog's fur, he told me about it and even mocked me. He brought his dog to see me on purpose and told me that he had cut my dog's fur.
The son didn't do it on purpose; he just cut off his ninth brother's braid in a fit of anger, but he regretted it afterward.
Upon hearing this, Wanwan realized that although it was the Ninth Prince's fault at first, the Fourth Prince couldn't be said to be without fault either. After all, whether it was Emperor Kangxi, Consort Yi, or Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, it seemed that if someone cut off a dog's hair, you would cut off someone else's braid. These two things couldn't be confused at all.
Wanwan: "Your mother is asking you, do you know your mistake?"
Yinzhen seemed to know that this matter was somewhat serious, saying, "Your son knows his mistake."
Wanwan said, "Since they know they're wrong, they have to be punished."
Yinzhen said, "My son understands."
Wanwan said, "Changping, go and bring a long bench. In a little while, take the Fourth Prince up there, and I will punish him myself."
Wanwan also had her own considerations. It was already this late, and Consort Yi must have found out about this matter.
Perhaps it is to verify that when Yinzhen arrived at Jingren Palace, the Ninth Prince must have also arrived at Yikun Palace.
During the time Wanwan and Yinzhen were talking, Consort Yi must have had time to come over.
But she hasn't come yet, which proves that she must have gone to see Emperor Kangxi.
Therefore, Wanwan could only be severely punished to prevent Kangxi from punishing her further.
Let's rate them, kids!
Let's generate electricity with love!
(?????)?? Love you all, muah!
P.S.: Regarding whether the Fourth Prince actually cut off the Ninth Prince's braid, the author hasn't researched the historical facts, but this claim is quite common, so the author has cited it again. It's said that the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince weren't a good match because the Fourth Prince cut off the Ninth Prince's braid when they were children. Whether the history is true or false is unknown, but when writing a novel, the author can write whatever they want.
