Inside the hall, Kangxi and Yiken'e locked eyes. Kangxi exuded imperial authority, and Li Dequan understood that Kangxi was testing Yiken'e. He quickly sent someone to summon the tutor of the Imperial Study.
When Emperor Kangxi discovered that Yiken'e was not afraid, a flash of joy crossed his eyes. These two children are truly outstanding.
No wonder Hongxi would target Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen. If Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen had married Hongxi's companion, it would have meant that Yiken Eye would have stood behind Hongxi.
hehe!
Kangxi revealed a cold smile. The struggle of the third generation had already begun. Hongxi's punishment was still too immature, so his methods were exposed.
"Where are your father and mother?" Kangxi noticed that the twins had come by themselves. In the past, if something similar happened, Yin and Qingyan would definitely have come along.
“I went to the Crown Prince’s second uncle’s place!” Yiken’e disliked Hongxi, but was very respectful to the Crown Prince.
Emperor Kangxi was satisfied with Yiken'e's respectful attitude. Even though the Crown Prince was still in the position of heir apparent, Emperor Kangxi hoped that all the princes would respect him.
"Grandfather, why did Hongxi do this? My sister's reputation is ruined, she will never be happy, and she will only fall into the hands of that kind of person. Doesn't she feel guilty? Will Shulu be able to marry well?" Yiken'e had been thinking about this for a long time and really couldn't understand the meaning of what Hongxi did.
Emperor Kangxi was stumped by Yiken'e's question. How could this problem be explained?
"Grandpa, can you tell me the truth?" Yiken'e wanted to hear the truth.
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Kangxi expressed his satisfaction with Yiken'e, but some things were better left unsaid in front of the children.
Yiken tilted his little head back and nodded heavily. From now on, he would have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting his younger brothers and sisters, and he was determined to grow up.
Kangxi sighed and directly explained why Hongxi had done this. As Kangxi spoke, Yiken'e's face turned very pale. It turned out that Hongxi had always been thinking about Yiken'e's favor.
As Yiken'e grew older, Kangxi increasingly felt that Yiken'e was outstanding. In the past, Yinzhen was the most outstanding, and Hongxi had no legitimate son, only Hongxi's son who stood up.
"Grandfather, I just hope that Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen can be safe." Yiken said directly, this honor may come at a price. "As long as Hongxi does not harm my sister, I can fight. After all, a man's battle should be fought by a man."
Yiken looked at Kangxi with a determined look in his eyes. Kangxi stared at him for a long time before finally choosing to compromise.
“Yiken’e, there is a difference in age between you and Hongxi, and even in status. Although he is a son of a concubine, he is the son of the Crown Prince, while you are the legitimate son of Yin. In front of the Crown Prince, your father can only be a younger brother.” Kangxi beckoned Yiken’e to his side and said to him with a smile.
Yiken'e's eyes sparkled, and he didn't take any of this to heart at all.
“Grandfather, you said that a temporary high position does not necessarily guarantee the future, so I will work hard, at the very least, to prevent my sister from falling into her current predicament.” Yiken’e seemed to have been awakened by this incident.
When Yin and Qingyan heard that the twins had arrived, they came from the courtyard hoping to take the children back. As they walked to the gate, they overheard Yiken'e's words, and a hint of surprise flashed across their faces. Yiken'e would actually say that.
"You want to take responsibility yourself?" Kangxi watched as Yinhe and Qingyan entered, ready to show them another side of Yiken'e.
“Yes, this is a struggle between me and Hongxi, so I must fight back. Although I don’t want to hurt Shulu, the Crown Princess has been hurting my sister. Therefore, the one who makes a mistake must bear the consequences.” Yiken’e was very stubborn and believed that the Crown Princess’s actions were clearly provocative.
Kangxi did not speak, but looked at Li Dequan and told him to go and deliver the imperial edict.
Before Yiken'e arrived, Kangxi had already written an imperial edict, stating that the Crown Princess bore inescapable responsibility for this matter.
Without any investigation, Yin sent Guarjia's illegitimate son to Hongxi's side as a study companion. There must have been some influence from the Crown Princess in this.
The companion had always lived with Hongxi in the prince's quarters. If it weren't for the nagging from his family and the Crown Princess, this companion certainly wouldn't have had such great ambitions.
Therefore, since Kangxi was prepared to punish the Crown Princess, he could only privately instruct the Crown Prince.
"Greetings to Father Emperor!" Yinhe Qingyan walked in, and Yiken'e turned to look at his parents, his face showing undisguised surprise.
"Alright, you two, get up and kowtow. Yiken'e has really grown up. He's going to the Crown Prince's side now?" Kangxi knew Yin very well. He and the Crown Prince had a deep brotherly bond back then, so Yin would definitely go and say a final goodbye.
"Father, I'm off." Yin didn't hide anything. At the very least, he couldn't let his daughter suffer. "Now, I've made my stance clear to the Crown Prince. If he dares to plot against Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen again, I won't hesitate to take that hatred back on Shulu."
Yin didn't hide anything, and Kangxi's face instantly darkened.
"You two brats! Your father doesn't know how to handle this, and instead you've pushed your own daughter away. Are you two really that bad?" Kangxi scolded Yinzhen directly. After paying his respects to his parents, Yiken'e went directly to the side hall to find his younger sister.
Yin glanced at Yiken'e's position and realized that the brat had left the main hall. He felt relieved and prepared to deal with Kangxi's reprimand.
"Father, I was just saying that in a fit of anger. Father will bestow a marriage upon Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen. He will definitely be an outstanding and talented man. So, Crown Prince, you don't need to worry so much!" Yin sneered.
Kangxi did not interrupt, but from Yin's tone, it was clear that Yin was truly angry.
"Fourth Prince, did I say I wouldn't interfere again?" Kangxi looked at Yin and felt that Yiken'e's impatient temper must have been learned from Yin. Therefore, he was even more dissatisfied with Yin. Originally, it would have been very difficult to get Yiken'e to change his ways, but with Yin as an example, it would have been much harder.
"Father, I didn't say anything else!" Yin muttered softly.
With Consort Tong alive, Yin always felt he had someone to rely on, so he became much more outgoing in his personality.
"You brat, go back and write this a hundred times. You must be patient in everything you do. Present this memorial to me tomorrow!" Kangxi glared at Yinzhi and waved him away.
Yin stuck out his tongue and took his leave, heading to the side hall. Qingyan followed behind Yin as they walked out of the main hall, feeling completely relaxed, as if he had just passed a major exam.
"Fourth Brother, we just got through like this?" Qingyan couldn't believe it. They got through like this?
"Yes, we've passed the test!" Yin laughed heartily.
