Chapter 27 Wake Up
Upon hearing this, Yinreng quickly ran to pour a cup of tea and held it to Kangxi's mouth, "Khan Ama, have some tea."
Kangxi followed his wishes and took a sip from his hand.
After Kangxi finished drinking, Yinreng put the teacup back on the table.
Kangxi looked at Yinreng running up and down. He was his proudest child. Now that he suddenly learned of his fate, he didn't know how to face him for a moment.
"Baocheng, come and sit down. Khan Ama wants to talk to you."
Ever since Kangxi kicked everyone out, Yinreng had been reflecting in his heart, wondering if he had really made Khan Ama angry? When he heard Kangxi calling him, he walked over anxiously, sat down, looked at Kangxi, and spoke cautiously, "Khan Ama, did Baocheng make you angry?"
Seeing his son like this, and having just learned about his son's future, Kangxi felt uncomfortable at the moment.
"Baocheng, why do you think so? You have always done very well and are my most satisfied son. You must never underestimate yourself."
Yinreng's eyes were red when he heard Kangxi's affirmation of him. Kangxi used to be strict and critical of him. Yinreng knew that this was the Khan's high hopes for him, but he was only a 12-year-old child after all, and he also longed for the most direct affirmation from the person he admired the most.
He grew up listening to stories about Khan Ama, how he ascended the throne at the age of eight and captured Oboi. He was proud to have such an emperor father, but also feared that he could not do as well as Khan Ama. But now Khan Ama told him in person that he was his proudest child, and just one sentence seemed to be enough to soothe his long-standing anxiety.
"Your son, I'm afraid that what I've done is not good enough." Faced with such firm affirmation, Yinreng expressed his inner fear.
Kangxi seemed to recognize his Baocheng for the first time. Baocheng had been brought up by him since childhood and learned the art of being an emperor through osmosis. Kangxi thought that his Baocheng was proud and confident, but he did not expect that he could also be fearful.
He stared at his son carefully, thinking about how he ended up being deposed. Was he really wrong? Or was Baocheng not suitable to be the crown prince? Who would succeed him in the end?
Now, apart from the crown prince, only the eldest son Yinzhen, who had just married, had begun to attend court. The other princes were not yet grown up, so everything was still too early. But he couldn't think of who else he would pass the throne to besides Baocheng? If the future him personally killed Baocheng, what good would happen to the other princes?
If Yuying could hear Kangxi's thoughts here, she would definitely agree with him!
Emperor Kangxi, you know your own character very well!
Unfortunately, Yuying didn’t know, and neither did Kangxi.
After Yinreng said this, he felt a lot more relaxed and no longer cared about his father's blame.
Kangxi didn't mean to blame him at the moment. He nodded and lowered his brows in thought. Well, Baocheng lost his mother when he was born, unlike other princes who still had mothers around them. He didn't like his closeness to Hesheli. Without anyone to comfort him, Baocheng couldn't help but think too much.
Kangxi thought of Yuying again. It seemed that she had no other thoughts about Baocheng. Moreover, since she knew what would happen in the future, if she was wholeheartedly devoted to Baocheng, perhaps she could help Baocheng avoid future events.
This thought flashed through Kangxi's mind. Not right, not right. Let's wait and see.
"Baocheng, you are still young, don't be afraid, your father-in-law will support you."
While the relationship between father and son was heating up, Yuying was standing outside the study in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, feeling the cold wind, her resentment rising to the sky.
Liang Jiugong and his group were also guarding the door. Seeing that Concubine Wei was refused entry, they all speculated in their hearts: Could it be that Concubine Wei had angered the Emperor?
After an unknown amount of time, Yinreng came out of the study with red eyes and said to Yuying, "Lady Wei, Khan Ama invites you in."
Yuying thought Yinreng looked like he had been crying. Could it be that he was scolded by Kangxi and cried?
Yinreng felt this straightforward gaze and then realized it belatedly, feeling ashamed. He quickly lowered his head and returned to Yuqing Palace with his servants without looking back.
Yuying couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw the young boy running away.
Hey, why are you still shy?
On the way back to Yuqing Palace, Yinreng kept his head down and walked very fast. I am not a child anymore, why am I still crying so much? I wonder if Khan Ama will think I am not stable enough?
Yuying looked at Kangxi lying on the bed and felt annoyed. She didn't bother to be polite with him and sat down on the bed, saying, "It's hard for the emperor to forget me and remember me blowing the cold wind at the door."
Kangxi had become accustomed to this person's disrespectful attitude towards elders and inferiors during this period, so he just frowned when he heard her words.
"What do you think of the prince?" Kangxi asked tentatively.
[Hmm? Hmm? Hmm? No, Kangxi doesn't have a fever. How can a mere nobleman like me comment on the prince?]
"Speak boldly, I will forgive you!" Kangxi listened to Yuying's concerns, and a trace of impatience flashed through his heart. At this moment, he was eager to know more news about the prince.
"Today is the first time I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I have found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is handsome and composed, and his behavior shows the demeanor of a crown prince. Naturally, he is very good." Yuying racked her brains to be a compliment machine.
[Praise! Praise him to death and that’s it! At this time, Yinreng is a treasure in Kangxi’s heart, and it’s right to praise him! ]
[In the end, it’s all because Kangxi lived too long.]
[The older you get, the more stupid you become!]
[What he did in the early days could be considered as a wise ruler, but now that he is old, he still has to implement "benevolent governance". We can't see those corrupt officials anymore, and he only targets his own son.]
[Left a lot of mess for Yongzheng, poor Yongzheng could only save money by confiscating property, and finally died of exhaustion.]
[If you ask me, how can someone who has been the crown prince for more than 40 years not be an excellent person? Maybe it would be good for everyone if Yinreng succeeded to the throne!]
[It’s all Kangxi’s fault!]
Kangxi didn't care what Yuying said, he just wanted to hear what she was thinking.
Kangxi felt aggrieved when he heard her praising herself as a wise ruler, only to find that she was old and incompetent, and also saying that she had lived too long and brought trouble to the next emperor. Could it be his fault for her longevity?
He also heard her praising Baocheng for his excellence, saying that if Baocheng succeeded to the throne, it would be good for everyone. He couldn't help but feel proud again. He knew that his Baocheng was the best! As for that so-called Yongzheng? It's better not to let him ascend the throne. After all, he is his son. It's ridiculous to let him die of exhaustion.
There was a gleam in Kangxi's eyes. Since God let him know the ending in advance, he must have been given a chance to change it.
Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at Yuying with more and more satisfaction. Thanks to her, this person was indeed the lucky star sent by God to him, Aisin-Gioro Xuanye!
Yuying saw the satisfaction in Kangxi's eyes and thought that she had praised him to the heart, and she couldn't help feeling a little smug.
Little Kangxi, grasp it!
"Ahem - Wei, you are right. Baocheng is naturally excellent." Kangxi coughed symbolically and accepted the compliment calmly.
Feeling guilty about using Yuying, Kangxi became more friendly to her. "You must have been frightened by my fainting."
It would have been better if she hadn't said it. As soon as Yuying heard it, she remembered, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have never seen anyone vomiting blood. You fainted in my arms. I was so scared that I was shaking all over. Fortunately, you are okay!"
Looking at Yuying's pretentious look, Kangxi just found it funny. In the last second he was saying in his heart that he lived too long, and in the next second he was worried about his safety.
In fact, Kangxi disliked people who said one thing in public and another in private the most, but perhaps because Yuying's two sides were exposed to Kangxi, Kangxi accepted her straightforward stupidity well. After all, after several tests, he found that she had no bad intentions towards the Qing Dynasty.
And she hadn't discovered that she liked to use honorifics when she felt guilty.
"By the way, Your Majesty, is there something you want me to do today?" Yuying suddenly remembered.
Kangxi also thought of this, but she couldn't ask her to come and see the prince, right? Kangxi pondered for a while and came up with an idea.
"I have given you a title and I want you to come and see it."
