Since Nanzhi was born, Yinzhi and Yinzhi often went to Yiku Palace. For Yinzhi, the younger sister loves the older sister Xiang, and he likes Nanzhi more than Rongxian.
If Rongxian wasn't a few years older and needed to learn the rules, he would have been beaten by her countless times.
Many years later.
"The children are growing up. I plan to pass the throne to Baocheng once he can handle things independently. What do you think?"
"I have no objection. The throne is yours. You can pass it on to me anytime you want. But Bao Cheng is only fifteen years old. Isn't it a little early to pass it on to him now?"
"I'm thinking that you've been waiting for me for over ten years, and I'm afraid you'll get impatient if I wait two more years, so I have this idea. So you don't want me to abdicate so early!"
"That's not the way to say it. I naturally hope you can abdicate and let the Crown Prince take the throne sooner rather than later, but I don't want him to start living a life of getting up early and going to bed late so early.
I raised him, and I love him, so naturally I have to consider him. Besides, he doesn't even have a Crown Princess, so what's the point of taking the throne now?"
Kangxi didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought she would feel sorry for his hard work over the years, but he didn't expect that although she felt sorry for him, the person she felt sorry for was not him.
It turns out that his son is a debt, unlike his good daughter who has known how to care for him since she was a child. Now that things have come to this, he might as well wait a little longer.
"I will give him another two years. After two years, I will definitely pass the throne to him. No matter what you say then, I will not change my mind.
After the throne is passed to him, I will take you and Nanzhi to travel all over the country. As for the brothers, let them rely on each other to protect the Qing Dynasty. I believe they can do it."
"Your Majesty, whatever you say is what you will do. I will follow your instructions."
Kangxi curled his lips and said that she was lying to him by saying that she had to follow his arrangements. Otherwise, why would she object to his arrangements just now?
He finally realized that he had to take a back seat to anything related to his children. Although he was happy that she valued his offspring, she could not ignore him like this, otherwise he would be sad.
"Okay, in two years, whether the Crown Prince is willing or not, I will pass the throne to him. Then my husband and I will leave with Nanzhi, and the country will be handed over to them."
"I'll do as you say. Shouldn't you focus on Baocheng now? I raised him. I hope you won't force him. Just let things take their own course."
"I know that you care about them the most. My position in your heart is getting lower and lower. You have to compensate me."
Compensation? Mu Sili was speechless. What kind of compensation would she offer? If it weren't for the fact that they were already an old couple, she would definitely kick him out of Yikun Palace.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I am very busy. Since I have decided to leave the palace, I should prepare everything I need. Don't you agree?"
Kangxi was puzzled. Even if they really wanted to leave the palace, it would be two years later. Wasn't it too early to start preparing now?
"I think we can prepare it next year. You can choose a princess for the crown prince now. I trust your vision, and the princess you choose will definitely be good."
"Since the emperor has said so, I will choose a suitable princess for him."
The days that followed were very dull. Yinreng knew that they were about to leave, otherwise they would not have arranged such intensive studies for him.
"Empress Dowager, how long will it take for you and the Emperor to be back this time? Nanzhi is still young, and it's not good for her to be away all year round. She is a princess of the Qing Dynasty, a member of a royal family, and she can't stay away all the time."
Mu Sili understood what he meant. He didn't want them to travel outside all the time, so he deliberately brought up Nanzhi. However, they would not stay outside the palace for too long.
"After we have traveled all over the Qing Dynasty, I will return with the Emperor and Nanzhi. I don't know how long we will be gone, but don't worry, I won't abandon you."
"Is what the Empress Dowager said true? You really won't be so engrossed in your own entertainment that you won't want to come back?"
Yinreng obviously didn't believe her words, which made Mu Sili very sad. Was she so untrustworthy in his heart?
"I'm a person who values trust. I raised you, so don't you know what kind of person I am?"
If you must say so, then she does value trust. Well, since the Empress Dowager has said so, if he keeps harping on it, it would seem that he is not magnanimous enough.
"Then Empress Dowager must come back soon. You know, your son misses you."
"Okay, I'll come back and give you grandchildren."
Yinreng was satisfied, so he devoted himself to learning how to govern the country, which shocked Kangxi greatly.
"I didn't expect you to be so secretive! I thought you were doing well, but your mother insisted on teaching you for another two years. I thought you were really lacking something, but it was all fake."
"Look at what the Emperor said. If I hadn't done this, you and the Empress would have left the palace two years ago. I can't bear to leave the Empress."
"You can't bear to part with the Queen, but can you bear to part with me? It seems that I am not as important as the Queen in your heart."
"Why would the Emperor compare himself to the Empress Dowager? You are the father, and the Empress Dowager is the mother. How can you compare yourself to her?"
Kangxi was furious, feeling that he meant that her position in his heart would never be as high as that of his mother, Mu Sili.
But this was a compliment to her. If he refuted it, wouldn't it mean that he didn't want the prince to respect Mu Sili? It was so infuriating!
"Since you have learned everything, I will now pass the throne to you. I hope you will use talents wisely and be a wise ruler. If possible, you can also expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty."
Yinreng knew that he had to take the throne, so he refused disrespectfully.
"Thank you, Father Huang. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Three days later, Kangxi issued an edict to abdicate and the crown prince succeeded to the throne. He then honored Kangxi as the Supreme Emperor and Mu Sili as the Supreme Empress. All the princes were given the title of prince, and Nanzhi was given the title of Princess.
Originally, he wanted to promote her to the position of Grand Princess at once, but Mu Sili said that she was still young and it would not be good for her to have a position too high, so he planned to promote her during her wedding.
With the title of Grand Princess, she would be a superior being no matter which family she married into. She was his only sister, and he had to give her this honor.
"Baocheng has already taken the throne. With old man Suo'etu protecting him, nothing will happen. We have been preparing for so long. It's time to leave."
"Your Majesty, are you sure you won't leave until you've had a chance to observe for two months? I thought you would observe for two months before leaving. Do you trust him so much?"
"He was personally trained by me. If I didn't trust him, how could I let him succeed to the throne at this age? He should at least be twenty years old, otherwise I won't be at ease."
