"Xiaojiu, mother is asking you, are you leaving the palace today because of Dong'e Gege's matter?"
"Mother, do you know? I heard that Princess Dong'e is very beautiful, so I want to go and find out if it's true. If it's true as the rumors say, I will marry her."
Concubine Yi didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment. Is this bastard marrying a wife just for her skin?
"If the other person is not good-looking, you won't want him?"
"That's true, but don't worry, mother. Dong'e Gege is only slightly less pretty than my son, and I'm willing to marry her.
Of course, if the mother thinks she is not good enough and doesn't want her son to marry her, that's fine. At worst, her son can just wait a little longer. After ten or twenty years, someone with outstanding looks will appear.
If my son considers marriage later, it will be unfair to my mother, and my wish of having a grandson will have to be put on hold for a while."
Concubine Yi was so angry that she stood up and chased Yinzhen with a feather duster, saying, "What a bastard, he only knew how to make her angry!"
"Stop Ninth Prince for me. If I don't beat him up today, he won't know why I'm his mother!"
"Don't you know, mother? I know, because I crawled out of your belly."
Phew!
Kangxi originally heard that Yinzhen went to the prince's residence to meet Dong E Siyu, and wanted to ask Concubine Yi's opinion, but he didn't see such a funny scene when he arrived.
Although it was not very kind, Yinzhen still pleased him most of the time.
"Xiaojiu, what did you do to make your mother angry?"
"My son pays his respects to the Emperor. I didn't make Mother angry. I was answering Mother's questions."
"Really? I don't think so."
"It's true. Does the Emperor want to talk to Mother about something? If so, I'll take my leave now. You two can chat slowly."
After saying this, Yinzhen ran away. If he didn't run away, Concubine Yi would really get angry and beat him.
"Alright, you're already an adult and you're still angry. Xiaojiu did something wrong, so I'll punish him. Why bother getting angry with him?"
"Your Majesty, those are nice words. Who knows if you'll actually punish him for real or just pretend? But this kid actually has someone he likes. I'm really surprised."
"Have you found someone you like? Could it be that princess from the Dong E family?"
"Yes, that's what you mean. Dong E Qishi's legitimate daughter is completely qualified to be Xiao Jiu's legitimate wife."
Concubine Yi thought it was feasible, and so did Emperor Kangxi.
He originally wanted Yinzhi to inherit his mantle. Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong were good friends. If Yinzhen married Dong E Qishi's legitimate daughter, he would be on the same side as Yinzhi.
Whenever he thought about Yin'er and Yinsi being close, he felt something was inappropriate. This kid seemed to be brainless, why was he so close to Yinsi?
"Since you think Dong E Qishi's daughter is good, and Xiaojiu also likes her, then let's choose her as his first wife."
"Is what the emperor said true? If so, then I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of Xiaojiu. I will be relieved if the boy can find a wife as soon as possible."
"The selection will begin in half a year. Since you've chosen Dong E, you should send someone to Dong E's mansion to teach Princess Dong E the rules of palace etiquette.
The selection will be a formality, just like the Third Lady, but I'm a little curious about who is better, the daughter of Dong E Qishi or the Third Lady."
"In terms of looks, the Third Lady definitely wins. As for how she behaves, I can't say for sure. However, in my opinion, the Third Lady is still the better one."
Kangxi liked to hear this. After all, Mu Sili was the daughter-in-law he favored. Since she married Yinzhi, he was very satisfied with Yinzhi's performance.
It is said that one should marry a virtuous wife. Now it seems that Yinzhi made a good choice in marrying a wife.
She is both beautiful and intelligent. When the third prince ascends the throne in the future, she will surely become his good wife.
Not long after Dong E Siyu returned to Dong E Mansion, the nanny sent by Concubine Yi to teach her etiquette arrived.
This scene shocked the entire Dong'e Mansion. Their Dong'e family had already had three wives, and now it seemed that they would have a ninth wife.
It seems that their Dong'e family is about to rise, and there must be smoke coming out of their ancestral graves. After Dong'e Siyu is granted marriage, they must go back to worship their ancestors.
After a while, Dong E Siyu found that she was becoming more and more beautiful, but she didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, Mu Sili also became more and more beautiful in this way.
"Sure enough, this princess is just as gifted as her cousin, and she becomes more beautiful as she grows older."
Five months later, Mu Sili gave birth to twins. Concubine Rong was very happy. She now had three legitimate grandchildren, and she could feel the envious eyes of others wherever she went.
Kangxi named them Hongsheng and Hongyang. As the first pair of twins in the Qing royal family, Kangxi valued them very much.
However, he also felt a little regretful. It would have been better if the two children were twins, a boy and a girl. He could have taken this opportunity to make Yinzhi the crown prince.
But it doesn't matter. Yinzhi already has three princes. After a few years, he will make him the crown prince. Anyway, only Yinzhi can sit in this position, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.
The fact that Mu Sili gave birth to twins made the Fifth and Seventh Concubines envious and jealous. They also wanted twins, but unfortunately they couldn't get pregnant.
One year later, Dong E Siyu passed the selection process and was successfully given to Yinzhen by Emperor Kangxi as his legitimate wife.
The two concubines of the same period, Guo Luoluo and Borjigit, were given to Yinsi and Yinxi as their principal wives respectively, but the relationship between the three of them was ordinary and they did not have any contact with each other.
As soon as the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, Dong E Pengchun and Dong E Qishi brought people to open the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors.
It is not uncommon for one family to have two princes and their wives, but it is rare to have two at the same time.
If smoke hadn't come out of their ancestral graves, they wouldn't have believed it.
After Yinsi's wedding, Yin'er and Yin'e also got married. At this point, Kangxi decided to confer titles on them and give them separate residences.
When the news came out, the prince's office was in an uproar.
"I didn't expect to leave the palace so soon. I'm not used to it. But after leaving the palace, I can be the master of my own house. It seems to be a good feeling."
"Whoever says it's not, I wonder what title the Emperor will give us when he first confer it upon us."
"Who cares? As long as I can leave the palace, I'll accept it even if I'm a prince."
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was also worried about their titles. If he gave them a higher title, he would not be satisfied, and if he gave them a lower title, they would not be satisfied either, so he decided to settle for something in the middle.
However, Yinzhen's initial title made things difficult for him. After all, he and Yinqi were brothers, and it would not be a good idea if both of them were given high positions.
But if he gave Yinqi a high position and Yinzhen a low one, he was afraid that Yinzhen would have some ideas, which would be a difficult situation.
"Your Majesty, why not ask Concubine Yi what she thinks?"
"Forget it, let's ask the third brother to come over."
A quarter of an hour later, Yinzhi appeared in the Qianqing Palace.
"My son pays his respects to the Emperor. What does the Emperor want from me?"
"I have decided to divide your residences and confer titles upon you brothers. Can you help me analyze what title would be best for Xiaojiu?"
Kangxi asked Yinzhi to come not only to discuss the enfeoffment, but also to see his attitude towards his brothers.
