When the Fourteenth Prince saw the message conveyed by Yinzhen, he couldn't help but frown. Although Yinzhen said that everything was fine, he was still very worried. You know, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If you are not careful, you will fall into an abyss.
"Didn't you find a chance to confess to me?" Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous look on his face.
Jiang Ranli saw this and quickly replied, "Yes, it's not a legitimate thing for me to join the patrol team. I was nervous all the way to the frontier, thinking about how to explain to you, Your Majesty. When I got there, I finally gathered up enough courage, but then the wolf pack appeared, and I was timid, and the courage I had gathered was scared to pieces. When I finally gathered up enough courage again, it happened to be Princess Toya's birthday, so I didn't find a chance to confess to you, Your Majesty in the end."
"You mean, you did nothing wrong?" Emperor Kangxi asked in a serious voice.
Jiang Ranli quickly shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I am wrong."
"What's wrong?" Emperor Kangxi asked again.
"My mistake was that I was too timid, otherwise I would not have come until now to confess my mistake to the emperor," Jiang Ranli replied.
Hearing her words, Emperor Kangxi raised his finger and pointed at her, unable to speak for a long time.
The Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince widened their eyes and became even more worried about Jiang Ranli's safety. You know, since they could remember, no one dared to speak like this in front of the Emperor.
"I see that you are quite courageous. Tell me why you, a concubine, ended up in Jinan, Shandong, and became Madam Jiang," Emperor Kangxi asked again.
Jiang Ranli lowered his head and answered seriously, "To answer your Majesty, this is a little hard to say."
Emperor Kangxi, “…”
Since he ascended the throne at the age of six, he had never heard anyone speak to him like this. Was his question difficult to answer? What was there to be embarrassed about?
"Tell the truth."
"Yes, I told you the truth. How can Your Majesty not be angry?"
Fourteenth Brother, do you think the Emperor will kick Li'er out?
The conversation between Jiang Ranli and Emperor Kangxi made the Tenth Prince break out in a sweat. He couldn't help but look at the Fourteenth Prince and ask about his concerns.
Maybe.
The Fourteenth Prince felt that Jiang Ranli was very likely to be kicked out by Emperor Kangxi, and then he imagined a miserable scene of Jiang Ranli in his mind, and thus, he could no longer stand it.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Emperor Kangxi was looking at Jiang Ranli speechless. When he heard the voice of Fourteenth Prince, he turned his gaze to him, but did not signal him to speak. Instead, he said, "If you have anything to say, talk about it later."
The Fourteenth Prince wanted to help Jiang Ranli, but he could not disobey the emperor's order at this time.
"Go on."
Hearing the voice of Emperor Kangxi, Jiang Ranli curled her lips slightly and spoke again, "To answer your question, Your Majesty, you are the emperor and a father. You should know that these young and ignorant children will always have quarrels and small conflicts. So, I contradicted Master Jiu and made him unhappy, so I was sent to Jinan."
After these words were spoken, Yinzhen, Yin'er, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince all had different expressions.
Yin'er felt that he knew Jiang Ranli quite well, but he still didn't expect her to say that. Emperor Kangxi was the monarch, and even though they were his sons, they never dared to regard him as their father, but rather as the emperor who ruled the world. Yin'er didn't expect Jiang Ranli to actually say that Emperor Kangxi was their father.
