After seeing off the Eighth Prince's wife, Qingyan quickly went behind the screen and saw that Yin was also frowning. The unexpected appearance of the Eighth Prince's wife had puzzled Yin.
"Fourth Prince, what was the Eighth Prince's wife like before?" Qingyan asked curiously, seeing Yin's troubled expression.
“She’s a vicious woman. She basically killed all of Yinsi’s illegitimate children. Hongwang was only able to stay alive because Father Emperor said that Yinsi must have an heir, otherwise, he would divorce the Eighth Prince’s wife.” Yin recalled, “Moreover, the Eighth Prince’s wife was hurt by Yinsi. For so many years, the Eighth Prince’s wife always stood up for him, even at the cost of her own reputation. However, Yinsi always took care of Hongwang. Compared to the Eighth Prince’s wife, he preferred Zhang Gege.”
Pfft!
Qingyan sprayed water directly. The Eighth Prince's wife has always valued relationships, but she was betrayed by Yinsi. She must be feeling very sad.
"They've started making a scene?" Qingyan remembered that Yin had issued an edict to divorce his wife and even sent the Eighth Prince's wife back home.
Yin nodded. No one knew the truth about what happened back then. Many people believed that the Eighth Prince's wife had hanged herself. In fact, after returning to her parents' home, she faked her death and escaped under the arrangement of Prince An.
"You're saying that Eighth Prince's wife was heartbroken and went back to her parents' home? And you even arranged for her to escape?" Qingyan was stunned. It turned out that there were so many inconsistencies in history, and everyone had misunderstood Yin.
Yin nodded: "After years of turmoil, Guo Luoluo is tired, so she decided to leave and personally went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to explain to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyan felt slightly relieved. The Eighth Prince's wife must have come to test him today.
"Today, the Eighth Prince's Consort has come..." Qingyan looked at Yin uncertainly.
"She's here to test you, to see if it's because of you. She'll have her answer by observing your actions!" Yin believed that the Eighth Prince's wife would think that it was her arrival that changed history.
"Wouldn't she help that person rise to power?" Knowing what happened afterward, and given how much she liked Yinsi, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't reveal Yinsi's...
"No!" Yin shook his head, listening to the words of the Eighth Prince's Consort, which implied that he would definitely make Yin Si behave himself.
Zhang Gege was also clever. The Eighth Prince's wife saved her child, and there was a reason for it. With a child, Yin Si would probably spend more time at home.
According to the information Yin received, the Eighth Prince's wife has been slacking off and has completely lost her former arrogance. She has even begun to become indifferent to Yin Si.
A few days ago, the Eighth Prince's wife even went to Prince An's residence and had a private talk with Yue Le for several hours. From that day on, Yue Le gradually withdrew from the Eighth Prince's circle.
All of this suggests that the Eighth Prince's wife is reassuring Yin that Prince An will no longer stand behind the Eighth Prince.
Qingyan felt reassured after receiving Yin's assurance, but she was even more curious as to why the Eighth Prince's wife had no children.
"Fourth Prince, let's gossip a bit, shall we?" Qingyan's bright eyes made Yin cover his face; the little girl was definitely up to no good again. "Does Eighth Prince's wife have any health problems? Why can't she have children?"
Zhang Gege is pregnant, so Yinsi is definitely fine. The problem must lie with the Eighth Prince's wife, who has been childless for many years.
"Yes, it was Father Emperor who did it!" Yin whispered in Qingyan's ear.
Qingyan stared blankly at Yin, wondering if he had said something wrong.
Emperor Kangxi was most anxious because Yinsi had no children. How could it have been him who did it?
"No... at every gathering, Mother asks about the Eighth Prince's children. Father Emperor is also very concerned about it, isn't he?" Qingyan's blank expression amused Yin.
"Hehe, are you surprised?" Yin believed that outsiders would be surprised if they knew what Kangxi had done.
Qingyan nodded. Although this might involve a private matter of the royal family, Qingyan was still very curious.
"It was because of Consort Liang's background. She was the descendant of a disgraced Mongol official. Father Emperor originally forbade her to have children, so she could only remain a concubine in the palace. However, she was quite cunning and believed that without a prince to rely on, Father Emperor would definitely secretly dispose of her when she grew old and lost her beauty." Yin later learned some things about Consort Liang. After all, before his death, Emperor Kangxi specifically instructed Yin that the Yinsi lineage must be kept far removed from the imperial family. "Therefore, she secretly stopped taking the medicine back then, which led to Yinsi's pregnancy. After the matter came to light, Consort Hui was punished. Yin held a great grudge against Consort Liang but felt that Yinsi was innocent."
Qingyan understood why Lady Yingenjueluo ignored Consort Liang. Within the palace, the wife of Prince Zhi was very popular and handled her relationships with the other concubines very skillfully.
"Fourth Prince, it must be the First Prince's arrangement that my sister-in-law has a problem with Consort Liang, right?" Qingyan had been puzzled for a long time, and now the mystery was finally solved.
Yin nodded, and that's what Yin did.
“Right now, Yinsi is in a good position, so the Mongol leaders all hope that Yinsi can rise to power. After all, he is a prince with Mongol blood!” Yinsi sneered. Consort Liang’s background was very secretive, and only a few high-ranking concubines knew about it.
Because she was demoted to the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for palace women to work in), the Empress Dowager also issued an edict to change Consort Liang's surname, which was also because she did not want Mongolia to lose face.
"Wouldn't Consort Liang's former subordinates think highly of Yinsi?" Qingyan recalled that Yinsi's performance was never outstanding during their visits to Qiumi, and many Mongol leaders would visit him.
"No way!" Those Mongol leaders are all shrewd people. When the Crown Prince was alive, they would never help a son of a concubine.
Cough cough cough!
Qingyan was speechless at Yin's answer. Sure enough, she couldn't have too high hopes, otherwise, the disappointment would be even greater.
"Little Darling, deal with Eighth Prince's wife as usual, don't be overly enthusiastic!" After considering it for a moment, Yin decided to treat Guo Luoluo Shi as usual.
"Hmph, as long as she doesn't cause me trouble, I can't be bothered with her," Qingyan said, pouting.
Pfft!
Yin laughed. Qingyan was a broad-minded person. As long as she didn't cross the line, she would just vent her frustrations.
"They definitely won't cause you any trouble!" The Eighth Prince's wife has definitely calmed down. With someone like her keeping him in check, the Eighth Prince will definitely not get up again.
In a carriage not far from the Yuanmingyuan, the Eighth Prince's wife leaned back on the cushions and closed her eyes to rest. She observed Qingyan and noticed that he was somewhat different from the former Fourth Prince's wife. Perhaps, with Consort Tong around, Yin was no longer under pressure, and the Fourth Prince's wife was more pampered, so she was more innocent and simple-minded.
"When we get back to the villa, you should rest more and not overwork yourself!" The Eighth Princess turned to look at Zhang Gege. This child was making up for the regrets of her previous life.
"Fujin, this servant understands." Zhang Gege welcomed the idea of raising the child with Fujin. During this time, the Eighth Fujin had changed a lot. Not only did she not make her stand in the rules, but she also let the Eighth Prince come and live with her.
