The practice of marrying a princess to a foreign country had been followed since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to two daughters, and Kangxi actually broke the rule for her.
I wonder if Kangxi would let her stay in Beijing again if she gave birth to another princess.
Mu Sili knew that she would be feared by the harem after giving birth to triplets, so she didn't care about their attitude.
Five years later, Yinxiang followed the prince with a headache on his face.
During this period, Yinzuo also died young. After learning that her beloved son had died in the cold palace, Uya Da Ying could not bear the blow and committed suicide.
The Imperial Concubine felt relieved about her suicide.
In recent years, Yinzhen would occasionally go to the cold palace to visit her. After all, they were mother and son, so she couldn't say anything on the surface, but she was dissatisfied in her heart.
Fortunately, Wu Ya agreed to go, and Yinzhen's heart returned to Chengqian Palace.
However, the Imperial Noble Consort could see that he was feeling a little depressed, probably because she didn't expect Wu Ya to agree to commit suicide.
But it doesn’t matter. I am the mother who raised him, and I am the only one who can give him the greatest help.
He is older now and knows what is best for him.
Besides, he is ten years old now and his health is not good, so it is time to find a wife for him.
I just hope that my frail body can survive until the day when Yinzhen gets married. Then, I will definitely drink that cup of daughter-in-law tea.
Suddenly, news of Empress Xiaozhuang's death spread from the Cining Palace, and the ladies of various palaces and the princes and princesses went to the Cining Palace to pay their respects.
"Brother Crown Prince, don't be angry. The old ancestor is old and has endured years of illness and pain. It is a good thing for him to pass away now.
If people see that you are dissatisfied with the death of your ancestors, they will report you again.
And even if the Crown Princess enters the palace a few years later, it doesn't matter. You are the Crown Prince, and no one dares to gossip about you."
The prince also knew that what Yinxiang said was right, but he had finally waited until Guwalgiya was out of mourning, and the two were about to get married, but Xiaozhuang was gone.
Out of filial piety, both of them had to observe mourning for three years. During these three years, if the emperor's eldest grandson was born under Yinzhi's name, he would be ridiculed by him.
It was really infuriating to think that he, the crown prince, was forced to take on such a position by Yinzhi.
No, his eldest sister-in-law is already pregnant, and he can't let them give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson.
Even if he gave birth to a bastard son, he was still the eldest grandson of the emperor. It seemed that he should let the people in the backyard work hard.
"Thirteenth brother, please go to Cining Palace first. I will go back to Yuqing Palace and come over later."
Yinxiang didn't know what he wanted to do, but it was indeed time to go to the Cining Palace first, so he nodded and quickly walked towards the Cining Palace.
"good."
Yinxiang went to the Cining Palace alone. When he learned that Kangxi only saw him while he was with the prince, he became dissatisfied.
"Thirteen, where is your second brother?"
"My second brother said he had something to do and had to go back to Yuqing Palace first. He will come back later. Father Huang, your son will burn incense for the old ancestor first."
"Go ahead."
Half an hour later, the prince arrived at the Cining Palace looking refreshed.
Seeing him like this, Kangxi knew what he had done without even thinking about it.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"What have you been doing?"
The prince did not expect Kangxi to ask him what he had been doing, and for a moment he did not know how to explain.
"Second brother."
Yinxiang's timely appearance saved the prince from siege.
"Father Emperor, why are you dragging my second brother here to talk? He needs to go inside and kneel before the deceased."
Kangxi looked at the prince with disappointment and left. He seemed to be considering whether the prince was really capable of taking on the throne.
In the mourning hall, the prince smiled smugly as he looked at Yinzhi who was kneeling beside him.
Before long, news of a pregnancy will spread from Yuqing Palace. By then, the Emperor will surely favor him even more.
"Second brother, why do you look so sorrowless? What's the matter? Are you hoping that our ancestors will die?"
"No, my ancestors loved me the most. How could I possibly have any disrespect towards them?
Big brother, don't try to set a trap for me. I'm the crown prince, and I won't fall for your tricks."
Yinzhi just glanced at him with disdain and turned away. If the prince was not a legitimate son and was favored by Kangxi, how could he compare to him?
But then again, his wife is already pregnant. If this baby is a prince, then the position of the emperor's eldest grandson will come from his Prince Zhi's Mansion.
"Second brother, you also know that your eldest sister-in-law is pregnant. Look, the emperor loves you so much that he has shown mercy and allowed her to rest in the mansion, so she doesn't have to come to the Cining Palace to kneel before the mourners.
If she gives birth to a legitimate son this time, I will be worthy of the emperor's love, don't you think?"
The prince narrowed his eyes. He wanted to give birth to the eldest grandson in advance so as to win the emperor's favor. He was dreaming!
"Brother, you are being a bit arrogant. I actually think that the emperor's eldest grandson should be from Yuqing Palace.
Although no one in my Yuqing Palace has reported any news of pregnancy, I feel that it won't be too far away. After all, I am quite capable.
As for whether the eldest grandson of the emperor will be born out of wedlock or not, I believe that no matter whether he is born out of wedlock or not, as long as he is my child, the emperor will like him.
As for the baby in my eldest sister-in-law's belly, I think it is most likely my niece.
When my niece is born, I will give her a generous gift. Otherwise, when she grows up, I'm afraid she'll say that I'm a stingy uncle."
The prince's words made Yinzhi's face turn black, and this scene happened to be seen by Liang Jiugong who came to convey Yinxiang.
He shook his head, thinking that the fight between Prince Zhi and the Crown Prince was a bit too much.
This happened in front of Empress Xiaozhuang's mourning hall, and there were other people around. They were showing their discord so blatantly. Wasn't this making a fool of Kangxi?
What Kangxi most wanted to see was the scene of these princes being friendly and respectful to each other. If he knew that the two of them were not in harmony with each other, he would probably be unhappy.
Yinxiang frowned as he watched the quarreling prince and Yinzhi. He couldn't understand why they were quarreling.
Empress Xiaozhuang passed away suddenly. As the younger generation, even if they disliked each other, they should not have confronted each other in such an occasion.
Not only concubines from the harem but also ladies from the court lived here.
Even though he was still young, he knew the interests involved.
Once what happened today gets out, the royal family will lose all face.
The Emperor cares about his reputation the most. It would be really unacceptable if they were punished for this matter.
"Big brother, second brother, stop talking nonsense. It's normal for you to feel sad after our ancestor passed away. It would be better for you to kneel down before the spirit chamber and show your filial piety to our ancestor."
When they saw Yinxiang looking at them with a serious expression and describing the scene at the moment, they were shocked to realize that they were in Empress Xiaozhuang's mourning hall.
Thinking of the tit-for-tat confrontation just now, both of them looked a little unhappy.
"It's Big Brother's fault, Second Brother. Big Brother was just talking nonsense. Da Gen wants to apologize to you. Please don't take it to heart."
