Kangxi was speechless when he saw Mu Sili's frustrated look. Wasn't this her own fault? He couldn't blame Concubine Yi for being so carefree!
If she hadn't thought of tricking Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi into starting school together, Xiaojiu wouldn't have always been running to Kunning Palace.
"Look, my dear father, I'm smiling. As expected, I still like my son."
There was surprise in Yin's voice, but Kangxi was unhappy. His daughter had never smiled at him before.
"Let me see. You must have seen it wrong. Unashi is still smiling. How could he possibly be smiling at you? If he was smiling, he would be smiling at me, his father.
By the way, you two have been out for long enough. It’s time to go back to the Qianqing Palace to continue your studies. If the time is right next year, I will send you to the Shangshufang.
Judging from your current abilities, you are qualified to study in the Shangshufang. If you learn more knowledge sooner, it will be easier for them to be enlightened, right?"
The two who were originally reluctant to leave immediately got up and left. They had made a bet on the matter of enlightening their younger brother and sister.
As the older brother of the twins, Yinzhen decided to eliminate Yinzhen's chances of hooking up with them from the root.
"Ninth brother, I won't give in to you. Unashi will be taught by me."
"But I don't want to enlighten Yinzhi. I can tell at a glance that his younger brother isn't as attractive as his younger sister. I want to think about his soft younger sister."
"No, that won't work. She's your brother's sister. If you want a sister, I suggest you ask Yi'er Niang to give birth to one for you."
Yinzhen shuddered after thinking about it. If his mother could give birth to a child, he wouldn't have to worry about Unaxi.
"Forget it. Mother thinks having Unashi as a sister is enough. We have such a good relationship as brothers, why should we distinguish between yours and mine?"
"Well, it's reassuring for her to have another brother who loves her younger brother. Go back to study. The Emperor thinks we are in the way."
As soon as they left, Kangxi immediately hugged Unaxi in his arms and kissed her. She was his sweetheart and he had to comfort her.
As for Yinzhi who was sleeping beside him, he completely ignored him. After all, he had so many sons that they were no longer worthy of his attention.
If he and Unashi weren't twins, a boy and a girl, he, as his father, wouldn't bother to visit him.
"Sit down, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong?"
"I think the Crown Prince has ill intentions towards Xiao Shi. He is fine in the Palace of Heavenly Purity on weekdays, but I am worried that he will be targeted by the Crown Prince after he leaves the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The crown prince has always been a little arrogant. Because of his status as the legitimate son, he has never taken his brothers seriously. Even Yinzhi, the eldest son, is not taken seriously by him.
Now that Xiao Shi has become the legitimate son, the strength of the Niohuru clan is obviously stronger than that of the Hesheli clan, so it is normal for him to feel pressure.
But I don't want to see him attack his brother for that unwarranted power. He is still young, and I want to see if there is any possibility for him to correct himself.
I will be quite strict with Xiao Shi in the days to come. Maybe from now on I will let him learn riding and shooting martial arts, so don't feel bad.
Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. I am doing this for Xiao Shi's sake. As the legitimate son, he has twin brothers and sisters, so I'm afraid his future won't be easy."
Kangxi's expression was mostly helpless. He didn't realize it before, but now he realized that having more sons was not a good thing.
As the eldest prince, Yinzhi had no ambitions, but his status as the eldest son made the prince wary of him.
Originally, the prince's attention had always been on him, but since Mu Sili was crowned queen, the prince has paid much more attention to Yin?
Today, the prince came to the Qianqing Palace, which was rare. When he saw Yin'er and Yin?, his face looked a little bad.
Especially after Yin said he wanted to go out for a walk, he looked at him with vigilance and murderous intent in his eyes.
As a prince, it is a big taboo to have no tolerance for others.
These brothers will become his right-hand men in the future. If he gets into too much trouble with them, not to mention the throne, even his current position as the crown prince will be unstable.
"The Crown Prince has ill intentions towards Xiao Shi? How could he have such thoughts? Even if Xiao Shi became the legitimate son, it would not threaten his position.
My dream is to make Xiao Shi a great general, but he's too lazy. It would be a shame not to let him go and fight."
Kangxi's mouth twitched. What do you mean by "too lazy to let him go and conquer the world"? What mother wouldn't want to see her son idle and at ease?
"Don't think about that. Xiao Shi is the legitimate son, and the Crown Prince wasn't born from your womb. I dote on you, so it's normal for him to be wary of Xiao Shi.
But if he really dares to harm his brothers at such a young age, I will punish him severely.
Even though he is the Crown Prince, this does not excuse his crimes. Moreover, I have not yet dealt with him for allowing Ling Pu and his wife to steal the tribute."
"Tribute? Does that mean there are treasures in Lingpu Mansion that you don't even own? Tsk tsk tsk~"
Kangxi was unhappy with Mu Sili's obvious expression of enjoying the show. She thought, "You really like to laugh at him, right?" Then he let her laugh to her heart's content.
Seeing that the two were about to flirt, Nanny Chen and Yuzhi calmly took the twins away.
Although there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty getting pregnant again now, I still want to remind You to take good care of your health afterwards.
Pregnancy with twins is very harmful to the body. If you don’t take good care of yourself, you will suffer when you are older.
Since Ling Pu's property was also confiscated, all the banner families lived in fear, and Kangxi did not give them a chance to react, and directly wiped them out.
In the court, Kangxi looked at the officials who pleaded for the bannermen families with sarcasm.
"I'm just disposing of my own servants. Why are you so nervous? Is there some kind of deal between you that I'm unaware of?"
"No, we dare not. However, there are too many of these bondservants. If we really execute them all and send them into exile, I am afraid that there will be no one to serve the emperor in the palace."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, we are all doing this for your own good. Please deal with the key personnel. There are fewer people serving in the palace, and we are worried."
......
"All of you only know how to persuade the emperor to let it go, but you don't consider that if they dare to steal the tribute today, they will be able to steal the national treasury tomorrow.
The treasury has been empty for many years, largely due to them, but also due to your turning a blind eye. So, don't even think about begging for mercy, think about the consequences for you first."
Soetu actually didn't want to express his opinion, but Mingzhu stood up against those officials, so he couldn't pretend to be blind.
"Master Mingzhu is right. You should think carefully about whether you are involved in this, so that you won't feel wronged when you are held accountable."
Tong Guowei didn't say anything. Ever since Tong Jia committed suicide in the cold palace, they were worried that Kangxi would vent his anger on the Tong family. Lately, they have been very careful about their duties and didn't dare to interrupt.
