Kangxi was initially pleased with the first part of what was said, but when he heard the last sentence, his lips twitched. "You're saying this to my face? You should beat him up."
Out of a sense of fairness, Emperor Kangxi asked "Yin Tang" again.
Kangxi: "Yin Tang, is that so?"
Yinzhen also walked up to Kangxi and knelt down.
Yinzhen was already young, and what his fourth brother said seemed to make sense, so he nodded.
Yinzhen said, "It's just as Fourth Brother said, but Fourth Brother really shouldn't have cut my braid."
Consort Yi immediately spoke up, "Yes, even if His Majesty is very angry, the Fourth Prince should not cut off Yinzhen's braid. Besides, can a Manchu's hair be cut off so casually?"
Wanwan naturally noticed that Yinzhen's braid was indeed a little shorter.
Seeing that Consort Yi had spoken up, she naturally had to speak up as well.
Wanwan said, "I know that Yinzhen was very angry after cutting off the Ninth Prince's braid, so he has already punished him. I wonder how Your Majesty intends to punish him further."
Wanwan said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely keep a close eye on Yinzhen."
Originally, Wanwan's punishment of Yinzhen was already quite harsh; the child's hands were swollen, and his face was covered in tears. It was indeed enough.
Emperor Kangxi thought that perhaps it was best to let it go and stop the punishment.
Emperor Kangxi said, "I see that Yinzhen has already been punished once. How can he be punished a second time?"
No sooner had Kangxi finished speaking than Consort Yi became displeased. Her son's hair had been cut, so of course she was angry.
Consort Yi asked, "Your Majesty, look at how Yinzhen's hair has been cut!"
Consort Yi added fuel to the fire, saying, "Even if Xiao Jiu cut off the Fourth Prince's dog hair, it doesn't mean she should cut off Xiao Jiu's braid."
Consort Yi pressed on, “Your Majesty, Manchus cut their hair either in times of national mourning or in times of the death of their husbands.”
Upon hearing this, Wanwan's expression changed. Originally, her purpose in doing this was to prevent Kangxi from punishing Yinzhen.
But now that Consort Yi is adding fuel to the fire, doesn't her son have done nothing wrong?
Wanwan was already praying in her heart, but she said calmly, "I wonder how Consort Yi wants to punish me."
Upon hearing Wanwan's words, Consort Yi suddenly remembered that not only was Emperor Kangxi present, but the Imperial Noble Consort was also there.
If I offend the Imperial Noble Consort, won't I have a difficult time in the future?
But then I suddenly realized that it was the Fourth Prince's fault. As the Fourth Prince's birth mother, it was understandable that the Imperial Noble Consort was unhappy, but I still had to speak up for him.
However, she soon regretted it.
Consort Yi said, "This concubine will consider Your Majesty's intentions."
She dared not offend Wanwan, thus allowing Kangxi to put pressure on Wanwan.
Kangxi glanced at Wanwan. Wanwan's face was very calm, but Kangxi knew that this meant Wanwan was angry.
He had argued with Wanwan before about the food arrangements for Yinzhen and the Crown Prince. Wanwan was really angry back then, and she acted like this.
Kangxi asked the Imperial Noble Consort what punishment she thought should be given.
Wanwan didn't even move her buttocks and continued to sit in the chair. "When I learned about this, I had already punished him. I knew that Xiao Si had cut off the Ninth Prince's braid, so I beat both of his hands until they were swollen. It looks like they won't be healed for at least a month. I wonder what punishment Your Majesty would like to give me next."
Emperor Kangxi said, "Since this matter has already been punished once, it cannot be punished a second time. This matter is now closed."
But Consort Yi was unhappy. What did the Fourth Prince's punishment have to do with her?
I wonder where Consort Yi got her confidence from; could it be from the Empress Dowager?
