He actually understands everything, but he's still afraid.
Therefore, he wanted to work hard to become better so that Emperor Kangxi would not be willing to depose him.
He didn't want to blame anyone; the throne belonged to the emperor.
The emperor can give it to whomever he wants; it's not something these people can just snatch and have.
He understands this principle.
But why doesn't the Empress Dowager understand? Why can't she figure it out?
Despite learning so much since childhood, Yinreng still couldn't become a qualified crown prince.
He wasn't particularly bright, so even if he started learning from a young age like Yinreng, let alone now, he wouldn't stand a chance.
Besides, what's so good about being the emperor? You're stuck in the palace all day and can't go anywhere.
Why didn't the Qing Dynasty, with its vast territory, think about going out to see it? Why waste the rest of your life in that small Forbidden City?
He is a prince, and as long as he does not threaten the new emperor's position, he is the emperor's elder brother, second only to the emperor.
Not only are you unrestrained, but you can do whatever you want. Isn't it great to be free and unrestrained?
And that Imperial Noble Consort, whom I've only met a few times, she's truly beautiful.
She was quiet and reserved, unlike the Emperor's other concubines who argued endlessly every day.
Even his mother, Consort Hui, used to compete for favor and show off every day.
That imperial concubine must have had a very kind heart.
If it were anyone else, including his mother, and they were as favored as the Imperial Noble Consort, who knows what the harem would be like.
They'll definitely go out and show off all the time, and then compete with each other.
They were even so ambitious that they would directly confront them and make their own child the only prince.
But he didn't. Not only did he not, he even went to the Empress Dowager's place a few times with Yinqi. His younger brother and sister were very cute, and they were not at all like Yinsi, who used to be so cautious around his mother.
Yinqi could wipe their mouths, tell them stories, and even hold their hands to play with them.
If it were any other concubine, they would have been much more careful and wouldn't have been so magnanimous.
He sighed, then looked up again, his face beaming with confidence.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
They finally found out that two birds had been shot. One was given to Kangxi and Harigana, and half of the other was left for the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, please eat! This is the one your son shot with his own hands."
He placed a piece of mutton in front of Consort Hui with his chopsticks, his face beaming with joy, truly content with this kind of life.
Consort Hui has been in a daze ever since she fainted and was brought back after being reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi. She has only just recovered a little in the last two days.
Looking at her son's expression, she opened her mouth, but finally resigned herself to picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat.
What can we do if we're unwilling? Things have come to this, and this outcome is the best we can hope for.
It's still better than what happened to Lady Wuya. That vile Consort Yi won't know any of this.
As long as she doesn't say anything, no one will look down on them.
"Okay, Baoqing will eat too."
......
After Yinti left, Kangxi sighed. How could he not see through Yinti's act? It had left a shadow in his heart.
But wasn't this the result he wanted in the first place?
This will help Yinqi recognize reality and stop him from having inappropriate thoughts.
The road ahead is long. As long as he harbors resentment and remains true to his original aspirations, he will be able to live a carefree and unrestrained life.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing like that?"
As soon as Harigana walked in, he heard him sigh. He stood beside him and hugged his neck: "What happened?"
Kangxi held her hand to his chest, then tilted his head slightly so that her chin rested on his shoulder: "Jiaojiao, how is the child? How long does the Empress Dowager intend to keep my son and daughter?"
Since he didn't answer the question, I didn't press him further.
She saw Yinti when he went out, but he was far away.
However, I couldn't help but find his sarcastic tone amusing.
I don't know who it was, but they tried every means to get the Empress Dowager to watch over the child. Now that she likes him and doesn't want to let go, the person who tried to do it is unhappy.
“My mother said that after we go back, we can stay for a few more days. She said that my house would be too noisy, and we should wait until we are completely settled before making a decision.”
Emperor Kangxi hesitated, though what he said made perfect sense, he was still unhappy.
It's been almost a month. It was originally supposed to be three days, but it turned into a month.
They finally got it back, but then Yinqi took it away again.
It would be one thing if she took one, but she took both of them! It's infuriating!
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
How could Harigana not know his dilemma?
Although he often holds and plays with the child, it is only in front of him.
After all, Manchus preferred to hold their grandchildren rather than their own children. If someone were to hold a child at the Empress Dowager's place, it would cause a lot of trouble if it were spread by someone with ulterior motives.
To put it bluntly, he just misses Beibei.
"It's alright! We're leaving tomorrow, do you want to go hunting again?"
Changing the subject to something like wanting to hold a child is not in keeping with the emperor's dignity.
Harigana chuckled softly but didn't say anything, letting him keep it to himself until he couldn't hold it in any longer and would tell her.
"Don't go. Just stay put."
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
The next morning, the main force set off early to return to Beijing.
I left in July and returned in October.
We arrived at the Summer Palace, swaying and staggering, and were finally able to get a good night's sleep.
Even with eunuchs lighting charcoal fires, it was still quite cold sleeping in the tents on October nights.
"Jiaojiao, let's go. I said I'd take you to the hot springs last time, but we missed it."
"Since we have some time today, I'll take you to a soak to relax."
Harigana really wanted to take a hot bath, but she managed to escape the last two times. Would this scoundrel still be thinking of bringing that tattered bag with him this time?
"Xuan Ye, didn't you say there were some on the estates outside the capital? Let's go back and make our own!"
We'll dodge it once we can, and once she finds an opportunity to pull out that bundle, we'll just eliminate her.
Ever since she almost opened it at the inn, Kangxi has been hiding it somewhere, and he hasn't seen it for a long time.
However, he probably wouldn't dare to use it, since he would lose control. The tents aren't soundproof, and a petty man wouldn't want others to hear his voice.
"This place is better; the one in the outskirts of Beijing is too small."
I've already had everything prepared, sweetie! Let's go relax and unwind!
After saying that, Kangxi picked her up and carried her in his arms: "I know you're tired. I don't want you to walk. I'll carry you!"
Normally, if she said she was tired and didn't want to go, Kangxi would always listen to her.
The unquestionable look on his face right now clearly indicates that something is going on.
Harigana really wanted to curse, but he couldn't afford to give himself away, so he could only grit his teeth and follow him.
However, she's probably going to be crippled tonight.
Sure enough, when she arrived, she saw the long-lost little bundle reappear.
"Jiaojiao, is it okay to put it on?"
