Consort De reached out to take the clothes away.
He Xue smiled and looked at Consort De, "Your Highness Consort De, please be more careful when preparing props next time, otherwise it will be so embarrassing if someone gives you away!"
"I wonder what Your Highness means by this?" Consort De asked anxiously.
"Your Highness, Consort De, you're holding the Sixth Prince's clothes in your hands and talking about how much you miss the Fourth Prince. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" He Xue asked.
Consort De's expression immediately changed. Oh no, she took the wrong clothes? No, there were no clothes for Yinzhen in Yonghe Palace. She couldn't help but take the wrong clothes!
The little bit of maternal affection that the Fourth Prince had just developed for Consort De had now been completely extinguished by her, leaving him utterly disheartened.
"Consort De, bring the clothes here!" Kangxi said with a dark face. He originally wanted to say a few words in defense of Consort De, but fortunately he didn't, otherwise he would have offended his cousin again.
"Your Majesty, this concubine..." Consort De couldn't find a suitable excuse for a moment.
"Give it to me!" Kangxi said, leaving no room for refusal.
Consort De had no choice but to send the clothes to Emperor Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at it and sure enough, the words "Yinzuo" were embroidered at the bottom of the robe. "Look what you've done!"
"Consort De, if you don't truly love Yinzhen, then don't put on this act of motherly affection! It's disgusting!" Consort Tongjia knew that Consort De wouldn't have any feelings for Yinzhen.
"No, Your Majesty, please let me explain!" Consort De said anxiously.
"Enough! Do you still want to keep making excuses? You don't even respect me as your son."
When my sixth brother was alive, you never looked at me once when I went to Yonghe Palace. Your heart and eyes were full of my sixth brother. You would hold him and sing songs gently. You would smile at him. You would worry when he was sick.
But what about me? I only hope that you can see me, but when you see me, all you tell me is to mention you and Sixth Brother more in front of Father Emperor, and to let Father Emperor go to Yonghe Palace to see you.
Later, when my sixth brother passed away, I was worried that you would be sad, so I went to Yonghe Palace to visit you. But you said, "Why didn't I die? Why am I still alive and well?" At that moment, your eyes seemed to say that I should die in place of my sixth brother!
If you take me back now, it's not out of genuine love; you're just using me as a tool to win favor!
"I'm afraid there's nothing of mine left in Yonghe Palace!" the Fourth Prince said, tears streaming down his face.
"You want me to feel sorry for you, but you see me with a long face all day long, how can I get close to you?"
You were brought to Chengqian Palace right after you were born. I want to get close to you. Will the Consort allow me to see you?
"Yinzhuo is your younger brother, and you are the older brother. Shouldn't you help him?" Consort De was truly heartbroken when the Sixth Prince was mentioned, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Yinzhen.
"When I saw Yinzhuo lying lifeless in my arms, I hated God for taking Yinzhuo away from me!"
If God is destined to take away one of my sons, I would rather God take you instead!
Why wasn't it you who died? Why are you alive and well?
If I had known you were like this, I would have rather strangled you at birth than let you bully me with Tong Jia Qingyao today!
Consort De's words were like a knife being plunged into the Fourth Prince once again.
"Fourth Brother, don't listen!" He Xue ran to the Fourth Prince crying and covered his ears forcefully.
"Don't listen, Fourth Brother! Don't listen!" He Xue really felt sorry for the Fourth Prince. If any child were spoken to like that by their own mother, they would probably feel like they were dying!
"It's alright, Xue, let Fourth Brother hear it! That way Fourth Brother won't have any expectations of her!" Fourth Prince said with a wry smile.
"Don't listen!" He Xue shook her head and said.
Consort Tongjia was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
Seeing this, Emperor Kangxi quickly helped up Consort Tongjia, saying, "Cousin, don't cry!"
Consort Tongjia seems unable to hear Emperor Kangxi's voice now; the son she raised with such care is about to suffer such a cruel curse from his own mother.
"Cousin, don't cry, or Yinzhen will worry!" Kangxi saw that Consort Tongjia couldn't hear him. Only the Fourth Prince could provoke Consort Tongjia.
As expected, upon hearing the Fourth Prince's name, Consort Tongjia immediately walked tremblingly toward him, calling out, "Yinzhen, Yinzhen!"
Consort Tongjia held the Fourth Prince in her arms, saying, "You are your mother's son, your mother will always want you! You will always be your mother's son!"
"Mother!" The Fourth Prince did not cry when he heard Consort De's words, but he could not help but shed tears when he heard Consort Tongjia's words.
Although he was not his mother's biological son, over the years his mother treated him better than her own son, and heaven has been kind to him.
The Fourth Prince looked at He Xue, who was crying uncontrollably beside him. Heaven had given him such a lovely little sister; he should really be content.
He shouldn't be so obsessed with gaining Consort De's favor. With his mother and sister, he's already quite content!
Having figured all this out, the Fourth Prince felt much relieved, finally letting go of his long-held obsession!
