Whether he tells his father that he can take care of his foal or shows his father the calligraphy he has written, he will not change his mind.
The Emperor was always very indifferent, and when he did praise him, Yinzhi would be happy for days.
In this way, how can someone who is always ignored possibly like their younger brother?
Little Yinzhi didn't understand why, so he went to his mother to cry and complain. His mother would gently hug him and comfort him. However, due to the natural bond between father and son, Yinzhi always hoped that his father, the Emperor, would see him.
It was around that time that Yinzhi understood the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. His mother, Consort Hui, one of the four imperial consorts and a noble lady in the palace, was actually just a concubine of his father, the emperor. He himself was just a son born to a concubine, an illegitimate child.
The younger brother's mother was the Empress, the Emperor's wife, and the noble legitimate son.
Therefore, as the eldest son of a concubine, Yinzhi did not want to cause a death before his wedding and to have another eldest son of a concubine in the same awkward situation as him.
Therefore, the princesses and concubines in the back courtyard were all given medicine.
I never expected someone so audacious as to secretly become pregnant with my grandfather's child, and then lose it all, wasting my grandfather's fine seed. She seems to be both stupid and unlucky; I won't waste any more time on Li Shi.
In a single moment, Yinzhi decided Li Gege's future.
When He Zhuo returned, he saw Yin Zhi sitting silently with a bad expression. He assumed it was because of Li Gege's miscarriage (but actually, he was reminiscing about his childhood). So, he cautiously apologized, "I failed in my duty to manage the inner quarters. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Yinzhi took Hezhuo's hand, and Hezhuo got up with him. "This is not your fault, she just became too careless. There's no need to pay attention to it. The Fujin is very good." The couple sat down hand in hand.
He Zhuo only made a token visit and left some tonics. After that, the couple never mentioned Li Gege again, and the old man never entered Li Gege's room again. Li Gege had completely fallen out of favor.
Cui'er, a palace maid of Li Gege, was returned to the Imperial Household Department because she failed to take good care of her mistress, which resulted in the mistress's miscarriage.
This prince could not tolerate such a servant. When Li Gege got into trouble, he did not report it to the Fujin Courtyard, but went directly to the front courtyard.
The Fujin (Prince Consort) is the rightful mistress of the inner quarters; it is against the rules to bypass her and go directly to the front quarters.
Surprisingly, that old hag Zhao didn't raise any questions. She directly sent someone to invite the imperial physician and inform Consort Hui.
I don't know if they thought she wasn't the wet nurse, but the master's biological mother, because they didn't even inform the people in the Fujin's courtyard. It was only when the imperial physician arrived that someone was sent to inform Granny Shao.
I am not respected as a princess by Consort Li, and even your servants are following suit. I'm sorry, but we cannot accommodate you here. Please return to the Imperial Household Department.
Granny Zhao considered herself a mistress and was somewhat unaware of her place. On the second day of the wedding, Yinzhi told everyone that the inner quarters would be managed by the Fujin (the wife of the emperor), which clearly showed that she did not take it to heart.
Or perhaps she's gotten so used to managing Yinzhi's household affairs that she thinks she's his mother just because she nursed him? Could it be that she didn't know Li Gege secretly vomited up her medicine? Hezhuo doesn't believe it, and of course, Consort Hui doesn't believe it either.
Consort Hui had long been dissatisfied with Granny Zhao. Just the fact that Granny Zhao had accompanied Yinzhi day and night for six years when he was young was enough to drive a mother mad with jealousy. "My son, I miss him day and night in the palace, but you, a lowly servant, can see him every day."
However, Zhao Mama was cautious and never gave Consort Hui any grounds to use against her.
