Before Naren appeared, Yinzhen's tough attitude made Concubine Yi accept his fate in terms of offspring, because no matter what means were used to send women to him, he was unwilling to accept them.
However, now that Naren appeared, hope arose in Concubine Yi's heart. She felt that Yin'er had only three sons and two daughters, which was too few. After hearing Naren's words that raising children would allow her to get pregnant as soon as possible, she immediately believed it and helped her ask Jiang Ranli for a child.
In the past, although Concubine Yi often acted in a domineering manner, Jiang Ranli could accept whatever happened. But now Naren's target is her child, and Concubine Yi sided with Naren without a second thought and said some words, which made Jiang Ranli feel very disappointed.
"I'm not that sensible and obedient, and I disappoint my mother."
After saying that, Jiang Ranli hugged Hong Zhang and left without looking back.
Arriving at the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly at the sight of Jiang Ranli, who looked unhappy. His eyes fell on Hongzhan, who was still crying in Jiang Ranli's arms.
"Bring Hongzhang here for me to see," said Emperor Kangxi.
Jiang Ran was so heartbroken that she cried until her voice was hoarse for her child. Now she just wanted to hold the child herself, but she couldn't refuse Emperor Kangxi's words. So, after hesitating for a while, she had to hold Hongzhang in her arms.
After taking Hongzhang, Emperor Kangxi teased him for a while, then looked up at Jiang Ranli and asked, "I haven't seen you enter the palace for a while, what's the matter?"
Asking yourself what's wrong? Isn't this asking even though you already know the answer?
Naren was given to Yinzhen by Emperor Kangxi. Before arranging marriages for several princes, he had some understanding of Naren and others, so he must have known Naren's character.
The reason why Jiang Ranli hadn't entered the palace for so long was, firstly, because Jiang Fan went to Shandong and she had to deal with the affairs of various shops in the capital, and secondly, because Naren was looking for trouble every now and then and she had no time to spare.
Now Emperor Kangxi asked her why she had not entered the palace for so long. To be honest, he was asking even though he knew the answer.
"In reply to Your Majesty, there are too many things going on in the palace and they are too chaotic. I am unable to handle them all. That is why I have not come to the palace to pay my respects to you for a long time."
When saying these words, Jiang Ranli's voice was filled with a little resentment and helplessness.
To be honest, she still cannot accept the fact that Naren married Yinzhen. It is not that she cannot accept that Yinzhen took on the responsibilities of a prince for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, but that she cannot accept Naren's character.
Emperor Kangxi was so wise that he would surely hear her resentment, but he was also helpless. Prince Xitala had consulted him on this matter several times. It was true that he was the emperor, but there were many things he could not control.
"Old Nine has made great contributions in suppressing the anti-Qing bandits recently. You have also made great contributions in managing the mansion for him and raising the children so well. I have decided to restore your rank as concubine," said Emperor Kangxi.
For a long time, Naren has been suppressing Jiang Ranli by using her rank. Now Emperor Kangxi says he wants to restore Jiang Ranli's rank, but Jiang Ranli is not happy.
Because, compared with rank, she hopes that the mansion can be more peaceful. Moreover, with Naren's personality, no matter how high or low the rank is, the mansion will still not be able to return to its former tranquility.
As soon as Jiang Ranli returned to the mansion from the palace, a eunuch came to read out the decree of Emperor Kangxi, announcing to everyone that Jiang Ranli would be restored to the position of concubine from that day on.
"Fortunately, the concubine is not in the mansion right now, otherwise she would have made a fuss again," said Qiu Die.
