"Fourth Master, the Emperor has woken up and has summoned you and Concubine Jiang...to come over."
A young eunuch ran to Su Peisheng and whispered to him about the situation on Emperor Kangxi's side. Then, Su Peisheng conveyed the eunuch's words to Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli.
Su Peisheng habitually called Jiang Ranli "Miss Jiang", but now there were many people around, including Jiang Ranli herself, so he changed the subject and called her "Concubine's Wife".
After meeting Yinzhen, Jiang Ranli originally planned to find another time to meet Emperor Kangxi, but now that Emperor Kangxi had summoned her, she could only go to the court with Yinzhen.
When we arrived at Emperor Kangxi's tent, he was already sitting upright on the dragon throne, looking through the memorials that had just been delivered.
Hearing them coming in, Emperor Kangxi looked up at them.
"I heard from Li Dequan that you were waiting outside just now. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Jiang Ranli was feeling a little nervous at this moment, his brain racing as he thought about how to ask Emperor Kangxi about the marriage.
"In reply to Your Majesty, I am here to report something important to you."
When Yinzhen saw that Jiang Ranli didn't speak, he knew that she hadn't organized her words yet, so he simply spoke to buy time for her.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Kangxi looked at Jiang Ranli meaningfully, then asked Yinzhen.
After Yinzhen and Emperor Kangxi talked about state affairs for a while, Jiang Ranli finally organized her words.
Emperor Kangxi looked at her, as if waiting for her to speak.
Jiang Ranli bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Father Emperor, I think today is pretty good, isn't it?"
Hearing her words, Emperor Kangxi looked out the window and nodded, "It's a nice day, indeed."
"The weather is so nice, is there going to be something happy happening?"
Jiang Ranli did not ask directly. Firstly, in ancient times, women were not allowed to discuss state affairs. Secondly, Emperor Kangxi did not like jealous people. If she asked directly whether she would grant Yinzhen a marriage, it would definitely arouse Emperor Kangxi's disgust. Therefore, she could only use this obscure method.
This time, Emperor Kangxi looked at her for a long time, and said after a while, "Yes."
After that conversation with Yinzhen, Jiang Ranli was mentally prepared for the marriage. However, when she got the definite answer from Emperor Kangxi, she still felt very upset.
"If you are too strong, you will break. If you are born in a royal family, you must shoulder your responsibilities," Emperor Kangxi said again.
Emperor Kangxi had made it very clear with this sentence. He was telling Jiang Ranli that Yinzhen should not think about refusing and should shoulder the responsibilities of a prince.
"Father Your Majesty, the weather is so nice today. I want to go horseback riding. I'll take my leave first." Jiang Ranli's voice was trembling. She had tried very hard to restrain herself, but she still couldn't hide her emotions perfectly.
"Go ahead," Emperor Kangxi nodded in agreement.
Then, Jiang Ranli left quickly and walked back to his tent.
In fact, Jiang Ranli knew that Yinzhen could not refuse Emperor Kangxi's marriage every time, but she was still in a bad mood.
Jiang Ranli sat alone in the tent for the entire afternoon. He didn't want to say anything or see anyone.
When Yinzhen came back, she was unconsciously absent-minded and did not hear the sound of Yinzhen coming back.
Yinzhen came to Jiang Ranli, his evil and handsome face full of guilt. He had clearly promised her that he would not take any other woman into the mansion, but in the end he could not withstand the pressure of the imperial power.
