While Shirley was still thinking about her two good younger brothers, Kangxi slipped a piece of jade into her hand.
"Take the person with you when you leave! Don't you like antique jade? This is newly acquired, you can take it and play with it!"
"Your subject thanks Your Majesty!" Shirley said, her face full of obedience.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes and pinched her cheek.
"If you don't want to leave today, then you don't have to leave!"
Upon hearing this, Sherry quickly sat up straight.
Emperor Kangxi smiled indulgently at her unusually lively appearance.
At his age, he likes to hang out with young girls.
It's as if I'm still young.
Sherry lives a very independent life; she has a carefree spirit that sets her apart from everyone else in the world.
He didn't realize it himself, but Emperor Kangxi liked it very much.
My little brothers like it too.
Yinreng was too busy to appreciate the beauty of the great demon, and the great demon was too lazy to show off her peacock feathers to him.
Not every man deserves her to dress up and put on makeup.
After a while, Shirley's spirit sensed the arrival of the Crown Prince, and she suddenly looked like she was about to cry.
"Father, I have something to say!" Shirley said, her face filled with helplessness and unease, and tears welled up in her eyes in an instant.
"Oh? What is it?? Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Kangxi put down his brush and walked over anxiously, looking at her intently.
"Yuqing Palace has been without any sign of pregnancy for many years, and I am filled with fear. May I ask Father Emperor to summon the imperial physician to... to treat the Crown Prince?"
Sherry suddenly knelt down, emphasizing her sincere emotions.
Kangxi suddenly realized what was happening and reached out with one hand to help her up: "Don't rush, get up first—"
"How dare you! My body is perfectly healthy!" The Crown Prince was still waiting for Liang Jiugong to announce his arrival.
But upon hearing Shirley's voice from inside the hall, he immediately lost his composure.
Sherry suddenly looked up and saw Kangxi's face choked with emotion, yet he pretended to be strong.
Emperor Kangxi was heartbroken. When he saw Yinreng breaking the rules and coming in on his own, Kangxi looked at him with displeasure.
Upon seeing Kangxi's unpleasant expression, Yinreng immediately regained his composure.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Yinreng hurriedly greeted him. He was somewhat surprised to see Kangxi helping Xue Li with one hand, but he didn't think much of it.
"Alright, you're such a grown man, yet you're still so impulsive!" Kangxi said, sitting back down behind his desk.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered!" Yinreng said somewhat aggrievedly. "It's just that my body is indeed incredibly strong. Perhaps it's really because the Crown Princess Hong... used some tricks that Yuqing Palace has not seen any pregnancy for so many years!"
Upon hearing Yinreng utter the character "Hong," a hint of interest flashed in Shirley's eyes.
Honestly, she has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She only survived because she couldn't be bothered with him; this is forcing her to take action against him.
That kid is lucky he's not in good health, he's nothing but a big thinker!
Sherry slightly twitched her lips, neither replying nor looking directly at him.
She simply gazed at Kangxi with eyes full of longing.
Emperor Kangxi initially wanted to keep it a secret, but then he thought, there's still a long time ahead, why keep it a secret?
Otherwise, what if those two illegitimate sons harm his precious twins?
Emperor Kangxi sighed deeply.
Looking at Yinreng, a rare tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"Baocheng! Do you know how your concubine Li died?"
Yinreng's eyes were full of doubt. Why did his father bring her up? "Isn't she suffering from a serious illness?"
"Do you remember, five years ago, Li Jia said she had drugged the Crown Princess, making it difficult for her to conceive in the future?"
Kangxi continued speaking.
"Yes, but isn't everything alright? Didn't the Crown Princess give birth to Hongbing and Foerguochun?!"
Perhaps because Li Jia had been gone for many years, Yinreng kept romanticizing his first love in his memory.
With his two sons, who were his blood relatives, constantly reminding him of his shortcomings, he had long forgotten about his dissatisfaction with Li Jia.
"Ha! Yes, she thought the Li family had given the drug to the Crown Princess, but it was actually you! If the Crown Princess hadn't gotten pregnant in time, your son would only be of the Li family bloodline! Otherwise, why would the Li family have gone for so many years without a baby crying?"
Emperor Kangxi grew increasingly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.
What kind of brain does he have? How could he forget the methods she herself admitted to using?
Yinreng's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could he not know that the Li family didn't even have a young boy to choose the lucky beads for the children?
Or they're older, and in a few years they'll be ready to get married.
Could it be?!
Yinreng staggered back, his face filled with astonishment.
Sherry looked up at Kangxi with a surprised expression.
Kangxi assumed she was just frightened.
Sherry was puzzled. Could it be that Emperor Kangxi had given them a dose of medicine to vent his anger on his son?
Sherry has revealed the truth!
While Yinreng was still questioning his life, Xue Li curtsied and withdrew.
Emperor Kangxi then assigned more people to surround the twins.
He didn't say anything else, but he felt extremely disgusted with Hongyan and Hongxi.
Yinreng looked at Kangxi with some surprise and uncertainty.
Emperor Kangxi understood and arranged for someone to summon the imperial physician.
I don't know about anything else, but after that day, Yinreng revoked all the privileges he had given to Hongyan and Hongxi.
Just like how Emperor Kangxi is now concerned about him!
Sherry ignored him, and the children all took the pills.
The twins are also intelligent and eager to learn.
Their flattery and ingratiation were directed at Emperor Kangxi, not the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's affection for them was merely that of a child.
I didn't realize how terrifying their learning abilities were.
Because of this incident, Yinreng lost his usual impetuousness and arrogance.
By sheer chance, he won over Emperor Kangxi with both pity and affection.
Sherry arranged for someone to find Hong Yan's "flower of life".
She doesn't care because she's too lazy to care, but daring to covet what you shouldn't be coveting is impolite.
While Sherry was still waiting to choose an auspicious day, Mrs. Tang couldn't sit still any longer.
When she greeted Shirley, she implied that the Crown Princess was preventing her from having children.
Sherry looked at her coldly, finding these people quite interesting.
If you don't set rules for them, they'll take advantage of you and think you have no temper.
"What did you say?" Sherry scoffed.
"This concubine, this concubine means that since the birth of the twins, there has been no news of pregnancy in Yuqing Palace! It seems that—" Perhaps because she had been favored by Yinreng for a few days, Tang Shi had lost the ability to distinguish between the two princes.
"What do you want to say?" Sherry looked at her and almost laughed in anger.
Anyone who dares to implicate her child will be sacrificed to the heavens!
"That's right, could it be that the twins have drained the Crown Prince's luck in having children? Otherwise, why would things have come to this..." Tang hesitated, glancing at Cheng Jia across from her.
"Hehe, what is it? Perhaps we didn't eat clean food, hehehe..." Cheng Jia had turned herself into a medicine pot in order to give birth.
This was a wound that Tang had stabbed into his heart.
Sherry looked at them with a half-smile on her face.
"Oh? Sister Tang, are you saying that the twins have affected your belly? And that I have affected Sister Cheng's appetite?"
"No, no, no, it wasn't me who said it, it was, it was something that was said among the common people..." Tang seemed to realize that she had actually dared to involve the imperial heir.
