Consort De, of the Uya clan, usually showed absolutely no concern for the two princesses who were born.
He simply left it to the servants and maids below to serve him, and would ask a few questions casually when he remembered.
It's like raising a cat or dog; you tease it a bit when you're in a good mood.
Since the birth of the Sixth Prince, the two princesses, under normal circumstances, would not ask about it at all, even if they were Consort De, of the Uya clan.
She devoted herself entirely to her beloved son.
Her son could bring her great favor.
Emperor Kangxi also adored this sixth prince, and the name he chose for him was many times more carefully chosen than that for his other princes.
祚.
But it implies that position.
When Consort De, of the Uya clan, heard this name, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
She just held her precious son tightly, calling him "darling" over and over again.
Who would have thought of that?
When the Sixth Prince contracted smallpox, she didn't visit him even once, for fear of infecting herself as well.
Although Emperor Kangxi sealed off the inner palace, forbidding anyone from entering.
But as long as you really want to go.
Who can stop you?
Consort De, of the Uya clan, was fond of the Sixth Prince only because he was a prince, a prince deeply favored by Emperor Kangxi, and a prince who could bring her benefits.
If these prerequisites are no longer met, Consort De, of the Uya clan, will likely treat the Sixth Prince the same way she treats the Fourth Prince.
Those fierce and ruthless eyes held not a trace of maternal love.
It wasn't you who died.
She stayed behind to protect herself, so she wouldn't have to become a shield for the Sixth Prince whom the other princes cared for, and she could also show her maternal love to Emperor Kangxi.
Now that it's been found out it's a girl, it's completely useless. Without the slightest reluctance, they aborted it.
He even used her death to evoke Kangxi's heartache for him.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, was an expert in this area, possessing unparalleled skill.
I don't know how those two princesses were born; they were incredibly lucky to have been born.
Ultimately, Consort De, of the Uya clan, only loved herself; everyone else was merely a tool in various senses.
Once this tool becomes useless, she will want to switch to a sharper and more useful tool to help her climb higher and more steadily.
It is likely that Consort De, of the Uya clan, had no love for Emperor Kangxi.
As for the joy of power, he naturally admired Kangxi himself.
Kangxi was the supreme ruler of the entire country, how could Consort De, of the Uya clan, not like him?
Consort De, of the Uya clan, loved Consort Tong just as much, but their feelings were different.
One way is to love him as a person, and the other is to love his right to do so.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, could only deceive others with her gentle, weak, and considerate appearance, which concealed her ambitions.
Each time, she pretends to be as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, never competing with others.
The one who secretly made the most money was Consort De, Uya, through all sorts of favoritism tactics.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, probably uses her children the most. She has given birth to the most and is pregnant the most in the harem. She often has an upset stomach and invites Emperor Kangxi over.
Later, the Sixth Prince was born, and no concubine in the harem was not invited by the Sixth Prince to visit Emperor Kangxi, not even the Empress and Consort Tong.
At that time, more people in the palace cursed the Sixth Prince to die than the Crown Prince Yinreng.
A large portion of the attention was focused on the Sixth Prince, who was especially favored by Emperor Kangxi.
Crown Prince Yinreng was favored by Emperor Kangxi and could be considered the legitimate son. He was personally raised by Emperor Kangxi, so the affection between them was naturally incomparable to that of the princes and princesses in the harem.
But why should a prince born to a slave girl be treated differently by Emperor Kangxi, and why should he have such a special name?
He even dared to steal their favor; the Sixth Prince had truly incurred the wrath of the entire harem.
When they learned that he had contracted smallpox, countless concubines in the harem secretly laughed and cursed him, wishing him an early death.
Whether it was due to the united will of the harem or the fact that the Sixth Prince was too weak, he actually died of smallpox, becoming the only one among all the princes to die.
That one was a year younger than him. The Seventh Prince was fine, but he was raised to be plump and healthy, and yet he still got into trouble.
Anyway, when the Sixth Prince died, countless concubines wept with joy, but could only pretend to be grieving.
Kangxi was quite satisfied with the performance of the concubines in the harem. Little did he know that they were just crying tears of joy and wishing that he, the sixth prince, would die sooner.
At first, some of the more astute concubines thought that Kangxi only wanted to use the Sixth Prince as a shield for Crown Prince Yinreng. Little did they know that several years later, Kangxi would still dote on the Sixth Prince.
Only then did they realize that Emperor Kangxi genuinely loved the Sixth Prince. Upon learning this, the concubines were even more furious.
She wasn't their son, so why did she receive so much favor from Emperor Kangxi? During that time, Consort De, of the Uya clan, was often the target of sarcastic remarks from the other women in the harem.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, always appeared indifferent and uncaring, which made people feel a pang of heartache upon seeing her.
Now that Consort De, of the Uya clan, has lost her sixth son and miscarried, let's see what she has left to compete for Kangxi's favor.
In Kangxi's harem, most people were gloating, while those who weren't were indifferent.
When they heard that Emperor Kangxi had indeed gone from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Yonghe Palace, they were so angry that they smashed the ceramics again.
Chengqian Palace
Consort Tong's face was as cold as ice, and her words were vulgar and crude, not at all like a well-bred young lady raised from childhood.
"That shameless slut, I don't know what method she used to bewitch His Majesty and make him dote on her."
"She's lost her child, yet she still managed to seduce the Emperor. I wonder what kind of seductive tricks she used..."
"What has the Fourth Prince been up to lately?"
………
Similar events were happening in other palaces, and suddenly, Kangxi's harem became lively.
On his way to Yonghe Palace, Kangxi encountered many concubines who were out enjoying the garden. They were all dressed up beautifully and tried to lure Kangxi to their palaces.
When Kangxi saw this scene, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes. His sixth prince had only been dead for a short time, and although they, as his stepmothers, did not have to worry about him...
But who are they trying to offend by all dressed up so flamboyantly?
"Liang Jiugong, every single one of you who came out, go back to your quarters and be confined. You are not to come out without my order."
Upon hearing this order, the concubines' once beautiful and charming faces immediately turned pale and weak, and several of them with poor mental fortitude fainted.
Now that she's confined to her quarters, her life is over. Who will remember her as a concubine with no children and no favor?
They weren't like Consort De, of the Uya clan, who could have His Majesty personally visit them during their confinement.
Looking at the pale-faced beauties, Liang Jiugong felt a pang of pity, but he didn't show it on the surface.
In the imperial harem, everyone is responsible for their own actions; whether one is a dragon or a worm depends on oneself.
Those concubines all seemed hopeless; they were all out of their minds.
