While others were going to the Cining Palace to mourn in this cold weather, she was drinking warming soup and playing with her newborn baby.
"Fujin is really good at avoiding idleness. Look at how tired I am in just a few days."
Yinzhi pouted to express his dissatisfaction. He was not alone, so why was he the only one crying?
I heard that the old ancestor wanted to take action against his child at that time, and he had already given him face by not disrupting Xiaozhuang's funeral. But the emperor actually asked him to cry at the funeral.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. I just came out of confinement and my body has not recovered yet! Mother, you are taking care of me. Do you think I am going to refuse your kindness?
If that's what you think, my lord, I will go to the Cining Palace to mourn tomorrow, so as to avoid being labeled as unfilial.
But after I go to the Cining Palace, I can no longer guarantee the safety of Honghao and Su Celi, so I decided to take them with me."
Yinzhen suddenly felt a headache and stopped complaining. If he let Mu Sili take Honghao and Su Celie to Cining Palace, not to mention Concubine Hui, Kangxi would eat him.
Honghao and Sucelei, twins, a boy and a girl, have captured the heart of Kangxi's Concubine Hui in just two months.
As long as Mu Sili took them to the Yanx Palace to pay respects to Concubine Hui, Kangxi would arrive within a quarter of an hour.
Having a pair of children that Kangxi loved was his greatest pride, especially now that the crown prince was under house arrest and there were few people in the palace who could compare to him.
"My Lord has been smiling a lot more recently. What's going on? Is there something good going on? He doesn't even share it with me. It makes me feel itchy."
"Nothing much. I just noticed that since the second brother was grounded, I've had a lot more people following me. Do you think I should really covet that position?"
There was light in Yinzhi's eyes. In his opinion, he was no worse than the crown prince. The crown prince was able to become the crown prince only because of the influence of Empress Kangxi.
If the Empress Yuan was still alive, who would have been the Crown Prince? Moreover, when Mu Sili was giving birth, the Crown Prince actually tried to take action against her. In his opinion, this was unforgivable.
If the emperor had not put him under house arrest first, he would definitely have knocked on the door of Yuqing Palace.
"It's good that you have that intention, and I will fully support you. But you are still thinking about the brotherhood, have you thought about how to get along with the Crown Prince in the future?
The delivery that day was extremely dangerous. If I had been a little careless, I, Honghao, and Su Celie would have been dead, and you, my lord, would also be experiencing the pain of losing your wife and children.
There might be more to it than this. There will definitely be rumors out there that my grandfather is unlucky in marriage and has no children. When my mother hears this, she will definitely be terrified.
Didn’t you see that after Empress Hesheli and Empress Niuhulu passed away, the Emperor would rather confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort than appoint another empress?
That’s all because the emperor himself suspected that he was unlucky in marriage, let alone the outside world.
Besides, I have also noticed that the Emperor likes his sons to be friendly and respectful to each other. I might as well give it a try.
Don't worry, sir. If I win the bet, I will be your queen. If I lose, it doesn't matter. I will help you make a comeback.
Just go ahead and do it without worry. I will take good care of both my mother and the child, and I will also let you have no worries."
Yinzhi felt that what Mu Sili said made sense, and that what he should do most now was to let Kangxi see his abilities and his attitude towards his younger brothers.
The prince was under house arrest for a year and could not communicate with the outside world. No one could predict what the situation in the court would be like after a year.
But he was different. He had a year to make arrangements, to place people he trusted, and to win the favor of Kangxi.
What's more, he has a wife like Mu Sili who is devoted to him. He only needs to charge into battle, and with her at his back, he has nothing to worry about.
"Since Madam Fu Jin has said so, I would be doing myself a disservice if I don't give it a try. Madam Fu Jin, when I achieve success and fame, I will definitely invite you to see the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty with me."
"Then I wish in advance that all your wishes will come true."
Kangxi did a good job of pretending to be nice, so much so that the ministers all thought he really wanted to observe a three-year mourning period for Empress Xiaozhuang, so they all submitted memorials to urge Kangxi to think twice.
"Your Majesty, the court cannot do without you. If you truly wish to express your grief, why not observe mourning for twenty-seven days instead of days? This will be considered your filial piety.
If the Empress Dowager is still alive, she would certainly not want to see you working so hard. Listen to this old minister's advice. Twenty-seven days is the limit, no more."
"I second the motion. If the Emperor is so preoccupied with this, how can he consider the overall situation? I agree with the twenty-seventh day of mourning."
"I second this motion."
Under the insistence of his ministers, Kangxi pretended to agree to this request. It was only 27 days and it would pass quickly. If he really had to observe mourning for three years, he would go crazy.
Fortunately, his ministers are all reliable people, otherwise it would be fun.
In Yuqing Palace, the prince was almost angry to death. He thought that after the death of Empress Xiaozhuang, Kangxi let him go out to mourn her as a disguised way of lifting his ban. He had not been proud for two days before he was locked up again.
In Kangxi's words, as the emperor, his words were his own, so how could he go back on his word?
Besides, it was his duty as the crown prince to let him go to mourn for Empress Xiaozhuang, not to release him from prison, so the crown prince continued to be imprisoned.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi rubbed his brows as he watched Yinzhi, who was trying to plead for the crown prince seriously. He hadn't explained it clearly enough, so why did the boss still ask him to lift the crown prince's ban?
"Boss, do you know what you're saying? Do you know what Baocheng did? He's about to kill your wife and daughter, and you're still willing to plead for him?"
After hearing what Kangxi said, Yinzhi sighed, as if he was really willing to plead for the prince. If it weren't for leaving a good impression on Kangxi, he would not have pleaded for the prince.
He wanted to harm his wife and children, so even if he was really magnanimous, he couldn't remain indifferent.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know this. I am extremely disappointed with the Second Prince. I wish I could give him a good beating to vent my anger. I almost lost my wife and twins.
But the second son is your son and my brother, and he is also the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. I think he has already known this during the two or three months he has been imprisoned.
I beg Your Majesty to release him. If the crown prince is under house arrest, the court will be in chaos.
I cannot guarantee that I will forgive him, but I have to ensure the stability of the court, so I will remember this and not bother with him.
If the Second Brother harms Honghao and Su Celi again, I will settle this account with him as well. Even if he becomes the Crown Prince, I will still punish him."
Kangxi was somewhat moved. He did not expect Yinzhi to be willing to forgive the prince. He thought their brotherhood ended there.
