Liang Jiugong lowered his head slightly. He seemed to understand the meaning of Kangxi's words. The fifth prince Yinqi was better than the crown prince. Kangxi seemed to support the fifth prince as the crown prince in his heart!
This is no small matter. Someone needs to pass a message to Zhang Qiyong and ask him to tell Mu Sili the Emperor's true thoughts.
If there are rumors spread by the outside world, you should be mentally prepared that the emperor will not believe them.
It's a pity for the prince. Soetu clearly had bad intentions, so why did he believe him?
If what they discussed today were to be exposed, Soetu would definitely put all the blame on the prince for his own sake.
Just when Soetu spread the rumor, Kangxi decided on the candidates for his legitimate wives among Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinqi and Yinyou.
Yinzhi's wife was the daughter of Dong E Pengchun, Yinzhen's wife was just the daughter of a Yuanwailang, surnamed Tatala, and Yinqi's wife was the daughter of Fei Yanggu, surnamed Ulanara.
Yinyou's wife was not much worse, she was Hada Nara, the daughter of Faka.
Yinzhen looked at the imperial edict granting him marriage. Although he smiled on the surface, he cursed all eighteen generations of Kangxi's ancestors in his heart.
Other people’s wives were all noble ladies from the Eight Banners, but his wife was just the daughter of a Yuanwailang. When did the standards for a prince’s wife drop so low?
The prince did not expect that Kangxi would give such a wife to Yinzhen. Yinzhen was his man. How could he win the hearts of the people with the emperor's behavior?
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. Perhaps this Hetala has some extraordinary qualities. Otherwise, why would the Emperor give such an ordinary person to you as his legitimate wife? Isn't this clearly a disgrace to the royal family?"
After hearing what the prince said, Yinzhen's expression improved a little, but Yinsi expressed his own mocking opinion beside him.
"Fourth brother's behavior must have angered the Emperor. Otherwise, why would he have given you, the daughter of a clerk, as his legitimate wife? Honestly, I really can't bring myself to call you Fourth Sister-in-law."
Yinqi suddenly looked at Yinsi who appeared next to Yin'er and others again. Is this guy an indestructible cockroach?
It's really strange that she can still appear in front of him after having quarreled with Xiaojiu several times. I don't know what kind of charm Xiaojiu has that can attract him to chase her like this.
"Eighth brother, you're joking. Fourth brother's wife was chosen by the Emperor himself. The Emperor would never choose someone with bad character to be Fourth brother's wife.
No matter what, after Fourth Brother gets married, you still have to call me Fourth Sister-in-law honestly, otherwise Fourth Brother won’t be able to protect you.”
Yinsi's face stiffened slightly. Shouldn't Yinzhen look at him gloomily, or at least say something harsh? Was he just playing it safe to gain sympathy? Why wasn't he playing by the rules?
Yinzhen did not really mean what he said, but because it was Liang Jiugong who came to announce the decree, he was afraid that Liang Jiugong would pass their conversation on to Kangxi, so although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it.
"Eunuch Liang, I have no objection to the selection of the Fourth Lady. Don't listen to my eighth brother's nonsense. He is just speaking up for me."
Yinzhen's face showed a hint of helplessness, and his words sounded like the truth.
Liang Jiugong just gave a professional smile and didn't respond. After looking at everyone's reactions, he returned to Chengqian Palace.
"Brother Crown Prince, I am truly useless. I made a mistake when I first went astray, which caused the Emperor to be resentful, so he chose this kind of wife for me as punishment.
My brother's wife can't help you. She is so useless. Unfortunately, my brother has little influence and dare not go against the emperor's wishes. The wife can only bear it.
"It's okay, she's just a concubine. Don't take it to heart. When I ascend the throne, I'll replace you with someone from a distinguished family."
Yinzhen shuddered obviously. If he understood correctly, the prince meant to get rid of Tara and replace him with a wife from a higher family background?
It's not that he is unwilling, but he thinks the prince's behavior is inappropriate. He wants to change his wife before he even ascends the throne. Is he sure that the throne will be his?
What a pity, I also care about his position, otherwise I would definitely be grateful for his action.
"Thank you, second brother, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good reason to divorce Tala, which will put you in a difficult position.
So forget it. After all, she is the wife bestowed by the Emperor. What if there are special circumstances as Eighth Brother said? This will also be a help to you. "
The prince was very satisfied with Yinzhen's attitude. He believed that Yinzhen was really considering him and was really loyal to him, so he revealed part of his plan to him.
After hearing what the prince said, Yinzhen was dumbfounded. The prince actually wanted to force the emperor to abdicate. Did he know that the palace was full of Kangxi's spies?
It's possible that they would be captured before they even start.
Furthermore, he also coveted the position of crown prince and wished the crown prince to be deposed, so he was a little conflicted at this time, wondering whether he should help the crown prince to abdicate or wait until the crown prince was deposed before fighting for the position of crown prince.
But he soon found the answer. He wanted to be the best and he didn't want to be inferior to others and become someone else's lackey.
"Don't worry, second brother. I will support you wholeheartedly. As long as you change my wife when the time comes, I will do it. I think her identity is really embarrassing."
The prince was more satisfied with Yinzhen. Isn't this an acknowledgement that he is the future emperor?
It's just a matter of changing the concubine and letting her die suddenly. Yinzhen is still young and doesn't understand all these twists and turns.
The prince had no idea that Yinzhen was planning to stalk the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind. When he learned that the prince was going to take action in seven days, he had a plan in mind.
Kangxi must know about this, so that he will depose the crown prince and make someone else the crown prince, and he must seize the opportunity to become that someone else.
At this time, Soetu's message had successfully spread throughout the palace, and Liang Jiugong immediately asked Kangxi what he thought.
"Your Majesty, the rumors have spread throughout the six palaces. What are you going to do?"
"How? Of course, we have to go to Yikun Palace. I heard that they are having beef hotpot today. Beef is not easy to come by. I don't know where your mistress got it from and how she was willing to treat me to it."
Kangxi walked out while talking. He had to ask Mu Sili what she thought. If she changed her mind, then he would have a proper wife.
Liang Jiugong felt his head buzzing at this moment. If he guessed correctly, this was what he thought it meant, right?
You dare not say the words "Master and Madam" casually. Except for the Queen, no one else can use them.
So, does the emperor mean that if Mu Sili is interested, he will make her the queen?
This is like giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy, a perfect match!
"Your Majesty, please wait for me. I've only been in a daze for a moment. Why are you leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity so soon?"
"I don't know what you're so stupid about, hurry up and catch up."
