The eldest daughter-in-law could be considered a model among the princes' wives.
She comes from a good family. Although her father has retired, several of his brothers quickly took his place. They are very filial and fertile. Her grandchildren are all intelligent and clever, and she loves them dearly. Her son also manages the household well, and there have been virtually no scandalous incidents.
Now everything has changed. At first, Consort Hui didn't know, but unfortunately, she had her family in the inner palace.
In fact, Lady Nalan had mentioned it subtly last year, but she also felt that her daughter was plain-looking and had only given birth to one daughter over the years, so she did not say it explicitly, but only mentioned it subtly.
Consort Hui didn't pay much attention, as it wasn't before that her son hadn't entered the inner courtyard for several months.
However, you don't know until you investigate, and what you find is shocking.
It turns out that the son hadn't slept with the women in the back courtyard for over two years, and now he's even gone so far as to only spend the night with his wife in the front courtyard.
Could it be that all the romantic talents in the Aisin Gioro family come from my own Chuxiu Palace?
Is the eighth brother like this, and the eldest brother is the same?
Consort Hui was so angry that her liver hurt. She knew that her son liked this daughter-in-law very much. As long as he entered the inner courtyard, Consort Hui would turn a blind eye for the sake of her grandchildren.
Now he's only spending the night at the wife's place, how can that be allowed to continue?
After all, the Eighth Prince wasn't her own son, and besides, there was Consort Liang now, so she let it go after saying it twice before.
Now that it's her own son and daughter-in-law's turn, Consort Hui actually refuses to accept this.
So, the incident occurred where He Zhuo was immediately subjected to rules by Consort Hui upon his return to the capital, something that hadn't happened for over a decade.
He Zhuo stood there for nearly an hour before Consort Hui appeared, supported by Aunt Qiao's hand.
Consort Hui immediately began to scold: "Eldest daughter-in-law, do you know your mistake?"
There were only a few of Consort Hui's confidants and servants brought by Princess Hezhuo in the room; there was no one else, so Consort Hui made no attempt to conceal it.
He Zhuo knew that her man's current "freedom" was something he had fought for. She told Kangxi about being cuckolded, and Kangxi would definitely investigate, because Yinzhi had no way of hiding the fact that he and the women in the harem were just chatting under the covers.
Therefore, Kangxi's people would definitely find out that only the Fujin (Prince Consort) shared a room with Yinzhi in the mansion.
In ancient times, it was common knowledge among the servants in the courtyard which woman a male master shared a room with, so there were no secrets.
Because they both need to call for water after having sex.
Therefore, it would be better to be frank and express his feelings for his wife, allowing him to be himself. However, this would mean wronging his wife, potentially incurring the wrath of his father and mother, and sacrificing his reputation for virtue. Nevertheless, this would indeed be beneficial for the household. Previously, Yinzhi had made it clear that he had no intention of seizing the throne, but Kangxi was somewhat skeptical.
This incident demonstrates that she gained the emperor's trust, which is quite remarkable.
Faced with Consort Hui's questioning, He Zhuo did not flinch, meeting her sharp gaze directly: "Mother, what mistake has your daughter-in-law made to anger you so much?"
"Hmph! You know the truth in your heart."
He Zhuo remained silent, but Consort Hui, still harboring resentment, vented her anger.
No matter what Consort Hui said, He Zhuo refused to budge and agreed to persuade Yin Zhi to go to the inner courtyard.
Consort Hui was furious and said that the Grand Consort had committed the crime of jealousy, one of the seven grounds for divorce. However, He Zhuo retorted that she was obedient to her husband and had not done anything wrong.
