The prince felt his murderous intent and laughed. The emperor was really just a figurehead. He said he would never commit filicide, but how could he let him go when he had such an idea?
"Your Majesty, there's no need for me to do this. I'll do it myself. Your Majesty, this life of yours is too tiring. In the next life, your majesty, your majesty, I don't want to be a member of the royal family anymore."
There was a "whoosh" sound, which was the sound of the dagger entering the body. Yinsi wanted to say something, but his wound was also bleeding. Kangxi could not care about anything else and could only let someone treat him first.
Looking at the prince's body, he sighed. This evil boy brought disaster upon himself, it was not his fault.
Just as Yinsi's wound was bandaged, good news came from Mu Sili.
"I congratulate the Emperor and Prince Lian. The Eighth Concubine has safely given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
Kangxi's eyes lit up instantly. They were really twins, a boy and a girl. As expected, it was destiny that he was Xiaoba. Otherwise, how could such a good omen happen to him?
"Okay, okay, I knew Xiao Ba could do it. Since auspicious signs have appeared for him and his wife, the position of Crown Prince will be given to him. Do you have any objections?"
"The Emperor is wise, and my eighth brother has made great contributions in saving the Emperor and has the empire at heart. He deserves the position of Crown Prince."
"I know what you want to say, Xiao Ba. You are the softest of all my sons. Only if you take the throne will they have a chance to survive. Don't let me down."
Since he said so, he wouldn't refuse. He was the one who benefited anyway, so why should he be so hard on himself?
"Thank you, Father Huang. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Yinsi became the crown prince just like that. Concubine Hui felt a little emotional about this. She didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, he would still be the crown prince. She didn't know what position she, his adoptive mother, would eventually get.
"Look at my memory. Lady Liang is Xiao Ba's biological mother. Now that he's the crown prince, will Lady Liang become the empress dowager and suppress me?"
When she thought about the fact that Concubine Liang, whom she looked down upon, was going to suppress her, she suddenly felt a headache. If she had known earlier, she should have been nicer to her. Now, she was going to be suppressed by her.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. His Highness is a filial son. You treat him and Fu Jin well. He won’t watch you being bullied by Concubine Liang.
Besides, Concubine Liang is still a Concubine, and her health is not good. If she can't become the Empress Dowager, won't you still have the final say?"
Concubine Hui was comforted instantly. Indeed, Concubine Liang was still a noble lady until now. Maybe Kangxi had never thought of making her the empress dowager, and her status was still more noble than hers.
"Now that we've come to this, I'll go see Concubine Liang. I'll just tell her about Xiao Ba being made the Crown Prince. I have to give her hope of survival."
"Your Majesty is right."
In the side hall, Concubine Liang always felt that something big had happened recently, but she couldn't figure out what it was. Just when she wanted to send someone to check, Concubine Hui arrived.
"Oh, it seems I've come at a bad time. Lady Liang looks so pale. Could she be seriously ill again?"
"Your Highness, you are joking. I am in very good health. I wonder why you came to see me?"
"It seems you don't know yet, but our little Eight has been made the crown prince. As his mother, you will be happy for him, right?"
"What did you say? Xiao Ba was made the crown prince? When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Concubine Hui was extremely satisfied. It seemed that the emperor had never thought of letting Concubine Liang become the empress dowager, otherwise why would he not tell her about this?
"It was just two days ago. Since you don't know, just pretend I never said that. You're not feeling well, so stay in the side hall to recuperate. I'm leaving now."
Concubine Liang had no time to care whether Concubine Hui left or not. She only knew that her son had become the crown prince, and according to the rules she would be crowned queen.
Even if she is not crowned as queen, she will be the future empress dowager. Her good days are coming. When she successfully becomes the empress dowager, the first person she will deal with will be Mu Sili.
She looked down on her at first, but now that she is about to become the queen mother, she will let her see what the pressure of being a mother-in-law is like.
If she still disrespects her as before, she will ask Yinsi to depose her from the position of queen, and preferably send her to the cold palace, so that she can deal with her better.
"Your Highness, why did you tell her this news? From what I see, she seems to be trying to get ahead."
"It's okay. She will know the news sooner or later. It's a pity that she can't become the queen, let alone the queen mother. She is at most a concubine. I am not afraid."
"Your Majesty is right. Would you like to go and see the Eighth Concubine? I heard that the two young ladies are very lovely. You are also their mother. Why not go and see them?"
"It's too obvious to go there now. Let's wait until she's out of confinement. Go to my storehouse and pick out some baby items for her. Tell her to take good care of herself and I'll be waiting for her."
"I understand."
Mu Sili understood Hui Fei's behavior. She was neither close nor distant, which was the best distance between them. As expected, those who could take charge of the harem were not ordinary people.
After staying in the Qianqing Palace for a few days, Yinsi forced himself to return to the prince's residence, but Kangxi refused. After all, he was to be trained to be the crown prince, so how could he let him leave?
So, despite Yinsi's reluctance, Kangxi forced him to learn how to govern the country.
Fortunately, Yinsi had a solid foundation and learned quickly. When the twins, a boy and a girl, were one month old, he was successfully appointed crown prince by Kangxi, which was a double blessing.
However, there was one thing that made him very unhappy, that is, Kangxi took advantage of his illness to decide the names of the twins, Hongwang and Fuyuan.
He was a little sad. It was clearly agreed that he would be the one to name the child, but he didn't expect that the emperor would get there first.
"What's wrong with me naming my own grandchildren? Are you dissatisfied? I might not choose the one someone else wants. Don't be so ungrateful."
"Father, those are my son's eldest son and daughter. It would be fine if you just married one, but why did you marry both? My son feels so unfulfilled."
"What sense of accomplishment do you want? If you want a name, wait until the day you become Marfa."
Mu Sili almost died of laughter. Kangxi did this on purpose by relying on his status as an elder. She decided to fulfill Yinsi's wish and tell him about the next child in advance so that he could prepare in advance.
Just when they were having a great time, Concubine Liang arrived.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Am I not late? Today is the full moon celebration for the twins, and as their mother, I should be present."
Kangxi was obviously unhappy. It was true that she was the mother of twins, a boy and a girl, but she was in poor health and was not afraid of passing her illness on to them.
"My daughter-in-law pays her respects to Mother. I hope she's feeling better now. This is Hongwang and Fuyuan. Do you think they look like His Highness?"
