Yunyi gave birth to the sixth and seventh princes of the mansion. Like their older brothers and sisters, the two children were born very healthy.
Yinzhen was overjoyed with his two sons, naming the sixth son Honghao and the seventh son Hongyang.
Both "暤" and "旸" mean bright sunshine, which is similar to the meaning of the names of the older brothers. They are names that are inherited from each other and are very meaningful.
The names of the sons born to the Fujin all meant bright, sunny, and radiant.
The third prince of the Zhong family and the fifth prince of the Xitala family, named Hongjing and Hongyan respectively, appear to be different from the legitimate sons of the Fujin (the wife's son), and their meanings are also quite different.
The name itself reveals that Yinzhen valued and cherished his legitimate sons differently from his illegitimate sons.
Yunyi gave birth in July. After her two children were a month old, she went through another double postpartum period, and then it was September of the 46th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
October is just around the corner, and Yinzhen is already twenty-nine years old, about to turn thirty.
That is, next year, the Crown Prince will be deposed, and Prince Zhi will be imprisoned in his palace by order of the enraged Emperor Kangxi for reporting on the Crown Prince.
After the Crown Prince was deposed for the second time, and seeing that his second elder brother had lost the possibility of ascending to the throne, Yinzhen began to think about seizing the throne and made efforts to achieve it.
Yunyi had complete faith in Yinzhen's abilities; she didn't need to do anything, she believed Yinzhen would definitely be able to seize that position.
Previously, even with the support of the Ninth and Tenth Princes, Yinzhi couldn't defeat his elder brother Yinzhen. Now, both of his younger brothers have been brought to Yinzhen's side by Yunyi. Let's see how this Eighth Prince will win.
There was also the Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen. Because of his status as a commoner, Wuya, he was disliked by Emperor Kangxi and had been in a state of despair for many years.
Yinzhen often drowned his sorrows in alcohol. One time, after getting drunk, he accidentally fell into the lake. By the time the palace servants found him and pulled him out, he was already dead.
Yunyi did not tamper with this matter, but she felt that the fourteenth prince's fall into the water was not a simple accident, and that someone else must have been involved.
However, Yunyi wouldn't bother investigating these matters. Over the years, countless palace maids, eunuchs, nannies, and other princes had been bullied by the Fourteenth Prince. He had offended so many people, it wasn't surprising that he was being retaliated against.
Time flies, and before long the year was over. Just after the New Year, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict to go on an inspection tour beyond the Great Wall. The court and the people were immediately busy preparing for the trip.
The Imperial Household Department had begun preparations as early as last year, and the Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia, who was in charge of palace affairs, was her mother-in-law. Therefore, Yunyi knew about Kangxi's trip to the border region well in advance.
Even if she hadn't learned this news from Lady Tongjia, based solely on her memory, she knew that the Crown Prince had been accused by Emperor Kangxi of raiding the camp at night with malicious intent while he was in the border region, and that the Emperor had issued an edict to depose the Crown Prince on the way back to the capital.
Yinreng did not return with the main group; he was escorted back by two ministers appointed by Emperor Kangxi. As soon as he entered the palace, he was temporarily imprisoned in his Yuqing Palace.
Before Yinzhen left, Yunyi wove together all the details of his previous life for him. Yinzhen took these dreams as prophecies, kept them deep in his heart, and never told anyone else.
Therefore, when he toured the border regions, he kept a close eye on the situation of the main force, fearing that something might happen.
Therefore, he told his three younger brothers not to cause trouble or join in the fun, but to just stay in their rooms and not to do anything else.
The three brothers, Yinzhi, Yinxiang, and Yintang, were very obedient. They would do whatever their fourth brother said and kept a very low profile.
The journey to the frontier was initially peaceful and uneventful, but danger was always present; it neither left nor fled.
With only a few days left until the end of the inspection tour beyond the Great Wall, both Yin Tang and Yin Yi began to relax their vigilance and prepared to go out for some fresh air, but Yin Zhen stopped them.
Although he hasn't been dreaming lately, he dreamed every night in the nights leading up to his departure, and he understood and knew many things.
Therefore, in order to keep his younger brothers away from the affairs of the Crown Prince and Prince Zhi, Yinzhen was so strict with his brothers and dared not let them go out to play casually.
The last night before departure felt like the calm before a storm. Even someone as oblivious as Yinzhen sensed that something was amiss.
Without Yinzhen needing to say anything, the three brothers consciously stayed in their own tents, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with them.
Neither of them slept that night, but Yinzhen, who knew about it beforehand, slept very well.
In his dream, he dreamt of what was happening now, but in greater detail, and he also learned about what would happen next.
Seeing his thirteenth brother imprisoned by his father in that dilapidated place, and being mistreated by those servants who fawned over him and bullied him, even in his dreams, Yinzhen felt angry.
Later, he also saw that the second prince had been deposed, and that the ninth and tenth brothers had relied on the eighth brother to compete for the position, and had made many obstacles for him.
He also saw that he had that thought, outwardly appearing as a wealthy and idle person who neither competed nor fought, but secretly he was playing a very big game, and in the end he became the real winner.
Yinzhen was awakened by Su Peisheng's urgent shouts. He got up and looked at the sky. It was pitch black outside, so it was obviously still early.
He glanced at the sky outside again. The night was as dark and heavy as ink, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face. It was as if a ferocious beast was standing outside, watching him intently.
Startled by this idea, Yinzhen didn't know why he had such a thought, but at this moment he couldn't care less about such trivial matters. He had to get to his father's camp as soon as possible.
Indeed, tonight was not peaceful, and something did happen on Kangxi's side.
When Yinzhen rushed over, his second elder brother, the Crown Prince Yinreng, was kneeling on the ground in a daze, with a small wound on his forehead from being hit by a cup, from which blood was seeping out.
The ground was littered with fragments and scattered debris, while the table in front of Kangxi was completely empty.
Clearly, those things on the ground should have been on the table. If something hadn't really happened, Kangxi wouldn't have been so agitated.
The princes all live nearby, and they all arrived at roughly the same time.
However, two people were exceptions. Like Yinzhen, Yintang originally couldn't sleep, but after a while, he couldn't resist the drowsiness and finally fell asleep.
After being woken up by their servants, the two brothers grumbled for a while, and when they rushed over, they were almost too late.
