Knowing that he was being taken out on again, Liang Jiugong calmly accepted the result.
Everyone in the mourning hall looked at Yinzhen with strange eyes. He caused his biological mother to be confined to the house by Kangxi outside his adoptive mother's mourning hall. They were afraid that he was not a good person and had to be treated with caution in the future.
"What took you so long? Didn't Fourth Brother have to keep vigil for the Empress Dowager? Everything is ready. If you feel tired, take a rest. If you need anything, come find your Second Brother."
Mu Sili's words earned her a resentful look from the prince, but she felt nothing. After all, it was the prince who wanted to protect her, so she should naturally bear the consequences.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law. My brother knows."
After the funeral in Chengqian Palace was over, everything returned to normal.
As the eldest grandson of the emperor, Hongmin was taken to the Palace of Heavenly Purity by Kangxi to be personally initiated into his education. The others had no objection to this, as he was the only grandson of the emperor and there was no way for him to compete.
There was no empress in the Central Palace, but there was the Crown Princess Mu Sili. After careful consideration, Kangxi decided to hand over the power of the six palaces to her for management. For this reason, the four concubines who had been eyeing the power of the six palaces were a little unhappy.
It was thought that after the death of the previous queen, Kangxi would choose one of the four of them to be the imperial concubine and then hand over the power of the six palaces to her.
Who would have thought that he would bypass his concubine mothers and directly hand over the power of the six palaces to the Crown Princess Mu Sili for management? It was ridiculous.
But they are not stupid. The Crown Princess is the future Queen. Even if they feel unhappy, they dare not show it openly.
Fortunately, Kangxi did not force them to hand over the palace power they had, otherwise, who knows what they would do.
Three years later, Yinzhi married a second wife, and Yinzhi was also betrothed to Dong E Pengchun's daughter as his first wife. This gave Yinzhen a headache.
Mu Sili thought of what she had promised the late queen, so she went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to ask for an audience with Kangxi.
"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Emperor."
"Are you here in the Qing Palace to ask for my help? You are the Crown Princess. You can make some decisions on your own and don't need to ask for my opinion on everything."
"I know. I heard that you were going to find a wife for my fourth brother. The Empress Dowager gave me something to say before she died, so I came to the Ganqing Palace to bother you."
When Kangxi heard that his cousin had left a last word, his expression straightened instantly. He felt more guilty than loving his cousin, so no matter what her wish was, he would fulfill it for her.
The Crown Princess only mentioned her wish at this moment. Could it be that this wish is related to Xiao Si's wife?
"Tell me first, I'll make a decision after you listen."
"Yes, before her death, the Empress Dowager told her daughter-in-law that she had fallen in love with Princess Ulanara, the legitimate daughter of Master Feiyanggu, and asked her to pay more attention to her.
If the other party is acceptable in all aspects, she will mention it to you when you plan to choose a wife for your fourth brother. She wants Ulanara Gege to be your fourth brother's legitimate wife.
My daughter-in-law has been paying attention to her over the past few years. She is reliable and calm. If she can marry my fourth brother, it will be considered as fulfilling the wish of the Empress Dowager."
At this time, Kangxi recalled a passage he had heard in Chengqian Palace before.
"I am already in my forties, and my health is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that I will not be able to see the day of his marriage.
I originally wanted to choose a daughter-in-law myself, but now it seems I can only meet her in advance.
I heard that the daughter of Fei Yanggu's family is young but very talented. I wonder if she can be a wife for Xiao Si.
It turns out that my cousin has been looking for a wife for Xiao Si for a long time. I thought she was just bored during that time and wanted to get to know the noble ladies of various families.
"Since it is your Empress Dowager who has chosen her, and you have also secretly inquired about her, then I will grant her to Xiao Si as his legitimate wife.
But she is still young, not old enough to be selected for the imperial examination, so I am afraid it will take two years before she can be granted marriage."
"My daughter-in-law knows about this, but my fourth brother doesn't know about it yet. I'll send someone to tell him right away. I'll take my leave."
"Go ahead."
Today, Mu Sili mentioned the late queen, which reminded Kangxi of the good times they had in the past.
He suddenly didn't want to deal with the memorial in front of him anymore. He now wanted to go to Chengqian Palace and talk to the late queen.
Mu Sili did not send anyone to the prince's residence to inform Yinzhen about this matter, but told the prince and asked the prince to tell him.
The prince was a smart man and naturally knew his wife's intentions.
"Don't worry, Ah Li. I will guide my fourth brother well. The death of the Empress Dowager was a huge blow to him. It's been over three years, and he still hasn't gotten over it. Sigh!"
"Your Highness, as an elder brother, you should consider your younger brother's affairs. You should go and take care of this matter. I have been too busy lately and haven't been able to spend enough time with my children."
Thinking that Yinzhen loved Wu Naxi the most, the prince took her to the prince's residence without hesitation.
Sure enough, with Unaxi around, Yinzhen didn't dare show any sadness, for fear of causing Unaxi to misunderstand.
"Please ask my second brother to thank my second sister-in-law on my behalf. No wonder she always passed on news about Ulanara Gege.
It turns out that the Empress Dowager had taken a liking to her and wanted to give her to her younger brother as his legitimate wife, but it's a pity that the Empress Dowager couldn't see her younger brother get married."
"Fourth brother, the Empress Dowager has been gone for over three years. It's time for you to move on and not continue to be trapped in the sorrow of her passing.
The Empress Dowager wants to see you get married the most. If you can have children as soon as possible after getting married, I think the Empress Dowager will be very happy."
Yinzhen was originally very sad, but the prince's words made him blush.
Kangxi had already given him two servants, so he was not a person who knew nothing, but he was thin-skinned and could not stand teasing.
"But I still have to tell you that no matter how much I like you, I can't go over Madam Fu, lest I hurt our relationship."
Yinzhen nodded. He understood. He had been favoring Li Gege more recently, but that was also because the prince had asked her and Song Gege to serve him.
Li Gege was delicate and pretty, but Song Gege was a reserved person, so she doted on Li Gege a little more.
Since my second brother said so, I guess I was wrong. I'll just spoil her less in the future.
Li Gege had no idea that she had fallen out of favor because of a few words from the prince. She was still thinking about giving birth to a son as soon as possible so that Yinzhen could ask for permission to make her a concubine.
After settling a worry, Mu Sili prepared to rest for a few years.
Kangxi is now in his prime, and the crown prince is only in his early twenties. The Nine Dragons have not yet grown up, so it is not yet time for competition.
In the next few years, Mu Sili tried to change the prince's view of his brothers.
Originally, in the eyes of the prince, he was the superior prince and looked down on his brothers, but after being enlightened by Mu Sili, he had a different view of his brothers.
Just when he was about to tell Kangxi his idea, Concubine De in Yonghe Palace started to make trouble.
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De was scolding Yinzhen, and sitting next to her was her beloved youngest son Yinzhi.
