So she went to great lengths to send a message to Yonghe Palace.
When Consort De heard the news, she was unhappy. What happened? I kindly gave you a maid to serve me in bed, and you not only refused to sleep with her, but you locked her up and made her learn to read and write palace rules as punishment.
Was it because he looked down on Song Yuerong for being a palace maid that he insisted on making her literate before she was worthy of his bed?
She was also a palace maid by origin, and only learned to read and write after being promoted in rank. Consort De couldn't help but wonder if Yinzhen was looking down on her.
This is a huge misunderstanding.
So Yinzhen was summoned to Yonghe Palace and subjected to torture.
As the head of the palace, Consort De was gentle and considerate to Emperor Kangxi, but she had many ways of making others suffer in silence!
Yinzhen had experienced it in his dreams, but to actually experience it was truly unpleasant. However, he could only endure Consort De's methods. It wasn't that he didn't have ways to retaliate, but he couldn't use those methods.
Anyway, I don't come to pay my respects every day. After I leave the palace in a few years, we'll see each other even less often. I'll just have to endure it for a few more years.
Yinzhen was willing to tolerate it, but Consort De became increasingly outrageous, even more so than in his dreams.
In his dream, he didn't fall into a coma for three days, and Consort De was not stripped of her green head plaque for three months. He also didn't mistreat Song Yuerong; he slept with her according to the rules.
Therefore, although Consort De harbored resentment towards Yinzhen in the dream, it was more resentment than hatred.
Now, Consort De truly hates Yinzhen.
With more hatred than resentment, why not just go all out and cause trouble?
When Yinzhen went to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects, he ended up waiting in the snow while Consort De took a half-hour nap. After entering the room, he was forced to drink a bellyful of cold tea and was also subtly and overtly teased.
Then Yinzhen decided to stop tolerating it. At this point, to continue tolerating it would not make him a saint, but a fool.
Then, Yinzhen fell ill that very day after returning to the Fourth Prince's residence. His illness was quite severe, and his condition frightened the Imperial Hospital. At the same time, Kangxi also received the news.
It's common for princes to fall ill, and if Kangxi knew about it, he would at most ask a question. But this was Yinzhen, and when he heard that he was sick, Kangxi couldn't help but think of those three days of unconsciousness.
Given his past record, Emperor Kangxi inevitably paid more attention to Yinzhen.
“Liang Jiugong, go and ask what’s wrong. Why is he sick again? Yinzhen’s health wasn’t this bad before. If the servants around him aren’t serving him well, don’t forget to go to the Imperial Household Department and pick out a few useful ones for him. Send the useless ones back to relearn the rules. What use are they if they can’t even serve their master properly?”
"yes"
