"Fourth brother, please speak up! It would be of great benefit to you if I took the position. I'm telling you, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."
"Why, you don't want to pay attention to Fourteen even though he's talking to you, right?"
Concubine De was very dissatisfied with Yinzhen's attitude towards Yinzhi. In her eyes, her son Yinzhen should serve Yinzhi. She had been very nice to him, so why did he still have this attitude?
Sure enough, if the child was not raised by my side, I won’t be able to tame him even if I come back.
"You must give me a clear attitude today. Fourteen, are you going to help me or not?
If you help me, I will acknowledge you as my son. If you don’t help me, I will pretend that I don’t have you as my son.”
A trace of sadness flashed through Yinzhen's heart. This was his biological mother, who always used him and never had any sincerity towards him.
Since you didn't like him, why did you take him back after the Empress Dowager passed away?
Oh, by the way, at that time I was in pain because of losing the Empress Dowager. The Emperor felt sorry for me, so he let me return to Yonghe Palace.
He originally thought that Concubine De was his biological mother, and after his adoptive mother passed away, he returned to her and was protected by her. Unfortunately, Concubine De did not recognize her as his son.
Her occasional concern for me was either because the Emperor wanted to know about it, or because my fourteenth brother wanted something from me. It was really sad to think about it.
"Mother, my son is also the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to. Why do you treat him so differently? Do you really dislike your son? If you didn't like him, why did you give birth to him in the first place?
My son is telling you and my fourteenth brother very clearly that that position is not something you can aspire to. You should just live your life in peace. The position of Crown Prince belongs to my second brother, and even I, your son, cannot get even a little bit of it."
"How dare you, Fourth Brother, you rebellious son! You don't even listen to me, do you? You've grown too independent. I want to see if you can protect the Nian family if you don't help Fourteenth!"
Yinzhen narrowed his eyes. His mother was really a good person. She actually used Mousse Pear to threaten him.
If it were anyone else, he could clearly say the word "whatever", but not Mu Sili.
She has already taken up residence in his heart and is pregnant with his child. His mother actually threatened him regardless of their feelings. I'm sorry, he doesn't want this mother anymore.
"Mother, I have done my best for you. Nian is pregnant with twins, my son's offspring. I will not let anything happen to her.
If you insist on attacking her, don't blame me for disregarding the bond between mother and son and brotherly love and attacking you and my fourteenth brother."
When these words were spoken, not only Concubine De, but even Yinzhen was stunned.
Yinzhen always looked like a punching bag in Yonghe Palace. Where did he get the courage to shout at them?
"I have something else to do, so I won't go into details with you, mother. Please take good care of my fourteenth brother and make sure he stops thinking about things that shouldn't happen, so as to avoid bringing disaster upon himself. I'll take my leave now."
Yinzhen stood up and left Yonghe Palace, leaving Defei and Yinzhi staring at his back with grim expressions.
"It seems that the fourth child has his own ideas. If that's the case, I can't blame my mother for being cruel. Fourteenth, that position is destined to be yours. I won't allow him to get his hands on it."
"Mother, Fourth Brother is your son after all. Isn't this a bit too harsh?"
"Who said he was my son? From the moment he was taken to Chengqian Palace, he was no longer my son. My sons are only you and Xiaoliu!"
Yinzhen felt that Concubine De was a little crazy at this time. He didn't want to stay in Yonghe Palace anymore and it would be safer to leave the palace.
"Mother, I'm leaving the palace first. If I stay in Yonghe Palace all the time, people will misunderstand that I can't leave you and I won't be able to achieve anything great."
"Okay, come, escort the Fourteenth Prince out of the palace."
Liang Jiugong found Yinzhen in Chengqian Palace. When he found him, he had a lonely temperament.
"Your servant pays respects to His Majesty. The Emperor has asked you to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, saying that he has something to discuss with you."
"Liang An Da, please get up quickly. I'll be right there."
In the Qianqing Palace, after Kangxi learned again about what happened in the Yonghe Palace, he felt even more distressed for his son Yinzhen.
Since Concubine De looked down on this son so much, he would let him become Tong Jia's son completely, hoping that she would not regret it later.
I felt guilty towards Concubine De at the beginning, otherwise I would not have let her give birth to children one after another.
She didn't even think about it. With her bannerman background, if it weren't for the fourth brother, how could she have become one of the four concubines?
Now that she has secured her position, she begins to dislike her fourth son. If the fourth son was not hers, it would be fine, but the fourth son was born after she carried him for ten months.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"Get up, Fourth Brother. I called you here because I wanted to talk to you about the position of Crown Prince."
Yinzhen knew that what happened in the palace could not escape Kangxi's eyes, so a sad look appeared in his eyes.
"Father, I want to fight for that position."
Kangxi really didn't expect that Defei and her son would hurt him so much. A man who was focused on his work was forced by them to fight for the throne.
But it's better this way. He has long hoped that Yinzhen would come out to suppress the momentum of others.
Although he is only the adopted son of Tong Jia, isn't he about to become the legitimate son?
With the blessing of being the legitimate son, is it possible that he is still inferior to others?
"I don't ask what happened to make you change your mind, I just hope that since you have made a decision, you will stick to it.
Of course, I won’t really give you that position just because you say you want it. It depends on your efforts.
After all, your brothers are all extraordinary people. It would be unfair for me to easily promise you that position."
"I know, but I don't want the throne of crown prince. That belongs to my second brother. No matter what happens to my second brother, it will still be his.
My younger brother grew up with my second elder brother. If it weren't for someone wanting to take his place and worrying about not being able to protect the people in Yuqing Palace and the Prince's Mansion, I really wouldn't want to..."
Kangxi understood Yinzhen’s helplessness, and he was also helpless. The prince was his most beloved son, but look at what he had done to the prince.
It hasn't been long since he started killing innocent people. Even if he wanted to protect him, he couldn't.
Yinzhen was his best brother, and only if Yinzhen took this position would he have a chance to survive.
To put it bluntly, the main reason why Kangxi was willing to let Yinzhen take this position was for the sake of the crown prince. Of course, it was also because he had shown in the early days that he did not care about fame, wealth and power.
"Father Emperor, there's no rush for this matter. My second brother is still the Crown Prince. As long as he reigns, I will not interfere in any way."
Kangxi was a little angry. Didn’t they just agree to fight for that position? Why did they change their minds?
This son is quite stubborn sometimes, and he feels a little melancholy.
