Chapter 166 Discussion
After teaching the four people a lesson, Yuying returned to the main topic. She looked at Yinzhen and asked, "Is it really Princess Fucha?"
Yinzhen nodded affirmatively.
After leaving Baohedian, he thought it was just a temporary thing. But after returning, he found that he could not forget that glance, and even as time went by, the image of Fucha Gege became clearer and clearer in his mind.
Even in the study room, I was a little distracted.
Then his absent-mindedness was discovered by Yinsi, who cared about him. Although Yinzhen was very grateful for his brother's concern, he did not want to tell his brother that he liked Fucha Gege.
Since Yinzhen kept silent, Yinsi wanted to know even more, after all, his fourth brother would never hide anything from him.
Since his fourth brother wouldn't say anything, he would go and discuss it with Yinzhen Yin.
Maybe it was because three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, or maybe Yinzhen was so annoyed by them that he had no more power and they really guessed it by accident.
Actually, this is not the case.
When they caught Yinzhen, they threw questions at him one after another and forced him to answer. If he couldn't answer, they would not allow Yinzhen to leave.
So, they checked the problems one by one, and then they realized that their fourth brother, who was always calm and self-controlled, would actually have such troubles.
They all looked at Yinzhen as if he were a rare species, their eyes brighter than the other. After all, in their opinion, if you want something, you just have to fight for it. They really don't understand why the fourth brother is so timid.
In the end, Yinsi saw that Yinzhen was about to get angry and hurriedly stopped the others from looking at him teasingly, thus preventing Yinzhen from leaving in anger.
So, this is the scene today - the four of them gathered in Yonghe Palace.
Even after Yinzhen nodded, Yuying continued to stare at him.
Yinzhen became increasingly unsure, fearing that Yuying was not going to agree, and was about to kneel down again to ask for permission.
Yuying finally spoke slowly: "Okay, I'll go talk to your father-in-law about this."
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, aunt."
Yuying waved her hands and exhaled, "Your Khan Ama originally intended to marry Fucha Gege to you, but I didn't agree. Now that you come to ask for it in person, it just happens to fulfill your Khan Ama's wish."
When Yinzhen heard this, his face lit up with joy.
He did not dare to ask Kangxi in person because Princess Fucha was too beautiful. If he asked for her hand in marriage in person, Khan's father would inevitably have a bad impression of Princess Fucha, so he went in a roundabout way to find Yuying.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. It turned out that Khan Ama had originally intended to make Fucha Gege his legitimate wife.
Seeing that Yinzhen was so happy that he couldn't even keep up his usually stern face, Yuying couldn't bear to watch it and waved her hand to chase them away.
"Okay, you all go back. I also have to go to the Qianqing Palace to find your Khan Ama. If you arrive too late, Fucha Gege's marriage has already been decided." She knew that Fucha Gege had a prominent family background. If she didn't marry the emperor as his principal wife, she would be granted marriage to a prince of the royal family. She didn't want to be late for a while.
As Yuying thought this, her movements became much faster.
When the four heard Yuying say this, they also became anxious and urged Yuying to go quickly.
But, leave? No, they won't leave. They still need to wait for confirmation.
"I know, I know. If you want to wait for me in Yongshou Palace, then be honest. If you have any problems, find Qingdai."
Yuying took Qingtao to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The journey was smooth.
That is Yuying, who can come and go freely in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and she can just push open the door of the study in the Palace of Heavenly Purity without even reporting.
Kangxi happened to be writing an imperial edict granting a marriage, and looking at the pile of words on the desk, it seemed that he had been writing for a while.
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. Why is A-Ying here?"
Yuying smiled flatteringly, leaned over to pat Kangxi on the shoulder, and asked knowingly: "Your Majesty, have you finished writing the imperial decree granting the marriage?"
"No." Kangxi gestured to Yuying to read it herself, "Isn't it being written?"
Yuying flipped through the book casually and didn't see Fucha Gege's name, so she asked Kangxi about her.
"I wonder if the Emperor has promised Princess Fucha to someone else?"
Kangxi shook his head, "Not yet, does Ah Ying have a suitable candidate?"
Yuying nodded.
"Didn't the emperor say before that Fucha Gege would be betrothed to Xiao Si? I thought about it and I think what you said makes sense."
"Why don't we listen to your Majesty and marry Princess Fucha to Xiaosi?" Yuying pursed her dry lips and leaned in front of Kangxi, "I think they are a good match."
Although Kangxi's hand was still writing, his mind had already been divided on Yuying. Seeing her licking her lips unconsciously, he reached out and handed her the tea beside him, "Aying, have some tea first."
Yuying didn't bother to be polite with him and took a sip from Kangxi's hand.
Although Kangxi was surprised for a moment, he was still satisfied with Yuying's closeness to him. He took care of Yuying and tilted the teacup into an arc for Yuying to drink from.
After drinking the tea, Yuying threw it away and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, why don't you answer me? Is this okay?"
"Why did Aying suddenly change her mind?" Kangxi did not answer, but turned to ask Yuying.
However, Yuying avoided the question and did not answer.
Kangxi looked at her like this and sighed in his heart.
Never mind, she's just a princess. Since she's happy with it, why not just follow her wish?
It should be said that Kangxi has double standards. However, Yuying said that it is good that the double standard is applied to herself.
Yuying enjoyed the favor given by Kangxi with peace of mind.
Kangxi was relieved. Yuying's goal was achieved, so she threw her away after using her and returned to Yongshou Palace without any reluctance, leaving Kangxi alone in the Qianqing Palace, where the coolness around him gradually enveloped him.
On this side, Yuying came out of the Qianqing Palace and brought the good news back to the Yongshou Palace.
Yinzhen finally let go of his worries and thanked Yuying sincerely. Yuying waved her hand and said, "It's good as long as you are willing."
"The imperial decree granting marriage will probably come after the imperial decree of the Crown Princess. Don't be anxious during this period. Just wait patiently."
Yuying gave a warning, she was really afraid that these people would mess around again. So, Yuying glanced at the four people present with a warning.
All four of them lowered their heads guiltily.
…
As the selection was over, every place in the palace became busy.
Even the eunuchs who went out of the palace every day to announce imperial decrees were running around outside the palace in an endless stream.
The mansion of the person who received the imperial decree to grant marriage was filled with joy from the master to the servants, and the eunuch who went out to announce the decree was also all smiles every day.
After all, this is an easy job. Just by saying a few auspicious words, you can get a reward that is many times higher than your monthly salary.
It seemed that the entire capital city was in motion because of this talent show.
In taverns, teahouses, and even roadside stalls, people were everywhere talking about how a noble person had appeared in the mansion of a certain family. Especially in the Shi family, it was no exaggeration to say that a golden phoenix had appeared.
And I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also very satisfied with this Crown Princess. After all, according to the rules, the Crown Princess should be officially canonized after the wedding, but it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went to ask the Emperor, which allowed the Shi family girl to be canonized as the Crown Princess at the beginning.
The story was spread with great detail, as if everyone had seen the prince begging for help with their own eyes.
Stone Mansion.
Shi Miaowan held the imperial edict sent from the palace, and especially when she saw the three words "Crown Princess" written on the edict, her heart arose with sweetness, and her whole face was filled with happiness.
Yu Shan, who was standing by, seemed not to have heard enough. She came over and told Shi Miaowan about the recent sensational rumors circulating in the capital: "Princess, I heard that this was a favor specially requested by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good to you."
My princess is loved by the Crown Prince, so her life will not be difficult after she enters the palace. I heard that in addition to the Crown Princess, the Emperor also appointed two concubines and four princesses to enter the Crown Prince's Palace.
Preparations for the wedding take time, and these people entered the palace before her own princess. She was really afraid that the Crown Prince's heart would be won over by these people. How would her princess cope with it then?
But fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has his own princess in his heart.
Shi Miaowan glared at Yu Shan shyly, "Okay, stop teasing me, your princess. Hurry up and put the imperial edict away. Don't damage it."
Shi Miaowan reluctantly handed the imperial decree of marriage to Yushan.
…
"Is this true?"
On the other side of the street, in front of a wonton stall.
A thin man in coarse cloth grabbed the man next to him who was also in cloth but fatter, and asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true. This is what my second uncle's nephew's brother-in-law, who is a guard at Fu Cha Mansion, said! How could it be false?" The fat man looked proud. He patted the thin man's shoulder and whispered, "Brother Wang, I'm only telling you this. Let's finish our wontons quickly and go to Fu Cha Mansion together to wait for the reward money!"
Upon hearing this, the thin man quickened his movements, "Yes, yes, I'll listen to you, Brother Li. Thank you, Brother Li, for telling me about this good thing! Consider this wonton as my treat, Brother Li."
When the fat man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's worth it that I never forget you, my brother."
The two of them finished their wontons in a hurry and walked towards Fucha Mansion arm in arm.
Word spread quickly, and before the gate of Fu Cha's mansion was even opened, it was already crowded with people who came to pick up the reward money.
And such things have been happening all over the capital during this period of time.
This day, after the morning court session.
After Kangxi left, Yinzhen followed the crown prince Yinreng out of the palace. Yinzhen lagged behind Yinreng by half a step, keeping the distance between himself and the crown prince just right, and Yinreng would turn back from time to time to discuss the court affairs with Yinzhen.
The relationship between the two brothers is harmonious.
It's just that some people just can't stand it.
"Second brother, I haven't congratulated you on your marriage yet." Yinzhi stood in front of the two of them. Yinzhi was also standing not far away, and it seemed that he came with Yinzhi.
Yinreng frowned. The boss was becoming more and more annoying.
Yinreng was unhappy and started to attack: "Yes, I should also congratulate you on the birth of another daughter. As for congratulations? You are just saying congratulations without any words? Why didn't you even prepare a gift?"
"You..." Yinzhi couldn't help but say, and his face soon turned red.
The atmosphere became tense.
When the officials who were leaving the court together saw them, they all walked around them, fearing that they would get into trouble if they went forward.
Yinzhi saw this and sighed.
The eldest brother is the same. He is obviously unable to defeat the prince every time, and he also gets scolded by Khan Ama. But it is just like that, he has to provoke the prince again and again.
Yinzhi looked at his fourth brother who was pretending to be a wooden stick behind the prince with envy, and walked forward resignedly.
Yinzhi greeted the three of them, "Prince, second brother, eldest brother, fourth brother."
Then he pulled Yinzhi and signaled him not to be impulsive.
He bowed his head to the Crown Prince and said, "Please forgive me, I was just too happy and said something wrong. As for the gift, it must be indispensable. On the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, I and my younger brother will prepare a generous gift. When the time comes, I and my younger brother will want to ask for a glass of wedding wine, please don't despise me, Crown Prince."
Yinzhi's attitude was very respectful, so Yinreng would naturally not fail to give him face. Moreover, this happened in front of all the ministers. Yinreng did not want to get too entangled with Yinzhi, so he took Yinzhen away first, and seemed to be heading towards Yuqing Palace.
Yinzhi then looked at Yinzhi and said, "Brother, shall we leave first?"
Yinzhi snorted coldly, glared at the court officials who were peeking around, and left angrily.
…
After the last imperial decree granting marriage was sent out from the palace, Kangxi rubbed his brows and leaned back on the dragon throne, his eyes full of fatigue.
The Crown Prince's wedding was scheduled for May of the following year, while the weddings of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were postponed by two months and four months respectively.
It is enough to foresee how busy and lively the palace would be in the 32nd year of Kangxi's reign.
But all this has nothing to do with Kangxi and Yuying for the time being, because Kangxi took Yuying to Changchun Garden again.
This time, except for the crown prince and several princes and princesses, Kangxi left all the concubines in the palace.
The emperor is now devoted to Concubine Jin, and they have seen it clearly. Now they don't even feel jealous.
Anyway, Concubine Jin is not a difficult person to get along with. She doesn't have to serve the emperor, and there are people to serve her with delicious food and drink. What's wrong with that?
Therefore, all the concubines accepted the fact that the emperor ran away with Concubine Jin in a positive manner.
In recent years, Emperor Kangxi has been allocating money to repair Changchun Garden. So, when she stepped into the garden again, if it weren't for the familiar plaque, Yuying would hardly recognize it.
As soon as he arrived at Changchun Garden, Kangxi couldn't wait to send away the crown prince and the other princes and princesses.
The weather was nice today. Kangxi was free, and there were no troublesome people to disturb him and Yuying. Kangxi kept smiling.
Without other people around, Yuying felt much more comfortable.
Yuying had to admit that it seemed that she was most comfortable only in front of Kangxi.
Do whatever you want and say whatever you want. Kangxi was also tolerant of her temper.
But according to common sense, she should be trembling with fear and treading on thin ice in front of Kangxi.
