Chapter 485 Rejection



"What are you laughing at? You want to say yes?"

After Consort Hui left, Harigana looked at the smiling man beside her and rolled her eyes.

"I'll listen to you. If you agree, then I agree; if you disagree, then I disagree. I have no objection."

During these years, Emperor Kangxi made excellent use of the four words "wisely protect oneself".

As for whether Consort Hui goes out or not, he had no objection to it in the first place; it was fine to go along with her whims.

"Xuan Ye, I'm not really keen on agreeing to this. Let's quietly summon Yin Ti to the palace later and ask him what he thinks."

Harigana did not argue with Kangxi, but instead solemnly expressed his thoughts.

"I don't really like Consort Hui's personality. I wouldn't say she's a bully who preys on the weak, but she's definitely someone who wants to influence Yinqi's thoughts."

She may not be a saint, but Yinti is good to Yinfu. The current situation is so stable, and she doesn't want one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch.

Consort Hui can't cause any trouble in the palace, but who knows what might happen outside of it.

Kangxi instantly understood her thoughts. It must be said that ever since they had their conversation, Harigana no longer spoke to him in a roundabout way, and he liked that feeling very much.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll have Li Dequan go and call someone now."

Harigana did not object. Consort Hui must be thinking of leaving the palace tomorrow because she came at this time.

This matter may eventually become a hidden danger, so it's best to resolve it as soon as possible.

Whether Yinti agrees or disagrees today, she has a way to keep Consort Hui in the palace.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yinti followed Li Dequan to Qingxi Palace, and no one noticed.

Because Qingxi Palace and Qianqing Palace are very close, the people in the inner palace did not notice them and entered Qingxi Palace through a side gate.

This was not the first time Yinti had come to Qingxi Palace. When he was a child, he had lived in the front courtyard with Yinfu and the others for a long time. However, this was the first time that Kangxi and Harigana had taken the initiative to invite him over.

"Your subject greets Father Emperor and pays respects to Mother Emperor."

He handed his cloak to the eunuch behind him and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Get up and warm up."

Harigana's attitude toward Yinti was completely different from his attitude toward Consort Hui.

Emperor Kangxi knew her temperament well and thought he would not interfere in this matter unless absolutely necessary.

Yinti didn't stand on ceremony. A few days ago, Consort Hui had already sent him a message, so he figured it must be about Consort Hui leaving the palace today.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why Li Dequan led him through a side door, as if he was afraid of being discovered entering the palace.

"Eldest son, Consort Hui just came to see Mother and said she wants to leave the palace and live with you."

Your mother thought she knew you well, so she secretly sent Li Dequan to the palace to hear your honest opinion.

Harigana went straight to the point, without exchanging pleasantries or being tactful with Yinti.

After all, Yinqi wasn't very quick-witted, and he couldn't understand things if they were phrased too subtly.

Kangxi looked at her with some surprise, not expecting her to handle the problem this way.

However, looking at his eldest son sitting in front of him warming himself by the fire, he instantly understood.

He chuckled inwardly, realizing that Yinti was better suited to a direct approach.

"Mother, your son doesn't know."

Yinti's answer wasn't vague; he genuinely couldn't make up his mind.

He knew his mother's personality better than anyone else. With the Fujin about to enter the palace, he didn't know what would happen if Consort Hui left the palace.

He himself needs to get along well with his wife to understand each other. If Consort Hui causes trouble, he will be in a dilemma.

However, it would be very unfilial of him to directly say that he should not be allowed to leave the palace, as he is a son and it is his duty to support his mother.

"Should we listen to Mother's opinion?"

Harigana immediately understood his thoughts upon hearing this.

This matter is easy to handle; as long as his willpower is not strong, she has a way to deal with it.

"Mother, please tell me, I will listen to you."

The two exchanged a few words, but neither of them asked for Kangxi's opinion.

Although he didn't intend to interfere, wasn't Yinti taking him too lightly?

After he entered and greeted her, she didn't even glance at him.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed lightly, intending to let them ask for his opinion, but instead asked, "Father, are you feeling unwell?"

"The New Year is almost here, you must take care of yourself. Perhaps we should have the imperial physician come and take a look?"

Harigana almost burst out laughing. This Yinti is indeed straightforward.

Even though he's getting married after the New Year, he still hasn't become any smarter.

I glanced to the side and sure enough, I saw that Kangxi's expression was about to darken.

"Xuan Ye, have some water."

She took the teacup from the side and placed it in his hand, then quietly poked him in the waist, and he immediately became obedient.

"Eldest son, Mother means she doesn't want Consort Hui to leave the palace."

You're about to get married, so you should focus on taking care of your own little family first.

Your mother knows you are a filial child, but Consort Hui is currently in good health and does not need your constant care.

Once you're married and have children with your wife, it wouldn't be unreasonable to bring your mother over.

Of course, this is your mother's idea; she's afraid you'll be wronged in the middle.

If you agree, your mother will handle this matter for you and won't let Consort Hui know. It's all your mother's responsibility.

But if you wish to take Consort Hui out of the palace, your mother will not stop you.

Seeing Yinti's dilemma, Harigana added, "Eldest brother, filial piety comes with the premise of living well yourself."

Don't disrupt your current peaceful life before you've even sorted out your own.

Yinti understood her meaning and stopped worrying about it. He looked at Harigana and said, "Mother, then I'll trouble you."

Once my son's life at home is stable, and after inquiring about his wife's wishes, I will definitely bring his mother out of the palace.

Harigana nodded and turned to look at Kangxi: "Xuanye, I didn't allow this, so you can't blame Yinti for being unfilial."

My son is growing up and needs his own space.

"What kind of situation is it where the mother-in-law goes in before the new bride even enters the house?"

Kangxi naturally went along with her: "Yes, just focus on living your own life well first. Your mother won't suffer any grievances in the palace."

Yinti naturally believed it and immediately knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.

"Your son thanks Father Emperor and Mother Emperor."

Li Dequan secretly brought the person in, and naturally, he had to secretly escort him out of the palace when he left.

From beginning to end, apart from a few servants in Qingxi Palace, no one knew that Yinti had entered the palace that day.

When Li Dequan returned, without taking a break, he went to Consort Hui's palace to convey Emperor Kangxi's imperial edict.

She thought nothing unexpected would happen.

A few years ago, the emperor dismissed the harem for the sake of the empress, leaving only those of them who had children.

I also heard the Empress Dowager mention that when their children grow up and leave the palace to establish their own residences, they can leave the palace with them to live out their old age.

She waited and waited, for so many years, and finally Yinqi left the palace to establish his own residence, and they would be getting married soon.

She wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible and take control of the household affairs before the new bride entered the family, not wanting to be controlled by anyone anymore.

But to everyone's surprise, Emperor Kangxi refused.
