Kangxi rolled his eyes at her without hesitation. Did she really not feel any pang of conscience when she said this?
"I always feel that you are here to laugh at me, but I can't provide any evidence. But it doesn't matter, I will never let you laugh at me.
Want to know who Xiaowu's wife is? I won't tell you. You'll know when the imperial edict comes down, so you don't have to find an opportunity to bully the girl.
I can tell you that this girl is a good one. Although her family background is not high, her grandfather is a high-ranking official, so her family background is not low.
I know you want a daughter-in-law of noble birth, and I also want to save your face, but you know, I have to consider the Empress Dowager.
When the Empress Dowager was still alive, she was obsessed with Khorchin. I am still angry that the Empress Dowager made Yinqi only learn Mongolian and ignored Manchu and Chinese.
If I hadn't taken Xiaowu to the prince's residence, I'm afraid there would be a prince in the palace who was obsessed with Korchin. Do you understand what I mean?"
Kangxi didn't say that on purpose, he just wanted to scare Concubine Yi. Yinqi was a man of both civil and military talents, how could he not like him?
But the crown prince had already been decided, and Yinqi was raised by the empress dowager. He didn't dare to take risks, nor did he want to take risks, so he had to endure the injustice.
However, his choice of wife was not too bad, it was just that her father's official position was a bit low. If you think about it carefully, her family background is indeed not low.
As long as Yinqi treats others well, it is possible for him to become a prince and live a peaceful life in the future.
Concubine Yi was a smart person, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to gain favor within half a year of entering the palace, and it would have been impossible for her to become a concubine after having no children and then become one of the four concubines and assist in managing the six palaces.
In addition to this reason, the reason why she remained in the emperor's favor for so many years was also because she spoke frankly in front of Kangxi.
Kangxi was surrounded by people who flattered him, so Concubine Yi's uniqueness gave him a different experience. In addition, she took the initiative to hand Yinqi over to the empress dowager for upbringing, which fulfilled his filial piety, so he naturally pampered him more.
What's more, Concubine Yi is a sensible person and never causes him trouble. It is difficult for him not to favor her, but when he saw the displeasure on her face, he felt that he still needed to reveal some news to her.
"Your Majesty knows that I am curious, so please tell me. I promise that as long as she knows the general situation and knows when to advance and retreat, I will definitely treat her well."
Concubine Yi had actually guessed that Kangxi's chosen wife for Yinqi was Mu Sili, but she still had a glimmer of hope. What if it wasn't her? What if it was another noble lady?
As long as she didn't hear it from Kangxi, she felt that she still had a chance to change his mind. Of course, this was her own idea.
"I've explained it so clearly just now, and you still haven't guessed who it is? Why don't you tell me your guess and I'll help you verify it."
As soon as Kangxi said this, Concubine Yi immediately showed a look of resentment. Was he not going to tell her but let her speak on her own?
If she really said this, wouldn't it mean that she approved of this daughter-in-law? However, no matter how you look at it, her family background is very low!
Although her grandfather was a high-ranking official, he was a different generation from hers. If he died, her family would also decline. This would be unfair to Yinqi.
But Kangxi had already decided on it, and she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to, but she was also a little unwilling to accept it.
"Your Majesty knew I was curious but didn't tell me. Did he want to make fun of me? It's true, I can't compare to Concubine De, so it's normal for Your Majesty to be unhappy.
Poor concubine, I devoted myself to the emperor, but ended up with such a result. I am very sad. I heard that the Empress Dowager is going to Mount Wutai to pray for blessings, and I am ready to go with her.
Your Majesty, please let whoever you want be Xiaowu's legitimate wife. After all, I can't rush back to attend his wedding, but I want to contribute to the Qing Dynasty."
The corners of Kangxi's mouth kept twitching. If he hadn't noticed that Concubine Yi was always stealing glances at him, he would have almost believed her lies!
"Isn't it enough for me to tell you? You keep making things difficult for me with those trivial matters every day. Do you think I am someone who doesn't care about Xiaowu?
But you can summon her into the palace to take a look. I believe you will like her. After all, there are not many people who can enter the palace to become a concubine and keep a name card, so she will naturally not be bad.
The other party is Hetala, the daughter of Yuanwailang Zhang Baozhu. Although she is the daughter of a fifth-rank official, her grandfather is a first-rank official and loves him very much. You just wait and see.
I believe that after the imperial decree granting you marriage, the number of people who mock you is far less than the number of people who envy you. You have clearly understood what kind of person I am. Are you satisfied now?"
"It is indeed her. I will tell you the truth. I have seen her before, but I thought her family background was a little low. I didn't expect you to be interested in her.
"Hearing what you said, I feel relieved. With her grandfather here, no one dares to look down on her. I'm just worried that she will be targeted and looked down upon after entering the palace."
"Target? Who dares to target my daughter-in-law?"
Kangxi was puzzled. This was the daughter-in-law he had personally chosen. Since she was his daughter-in-law, her status must be decent. Who would dare to target her?
Seeing Kangxi's confusion, Concubine Yi was speechless. Apart from Concubine De and the princes' wives who were at odds with her, who else could it be?
Forget it, this matter seems to be a foregone conclusion, and she has no choice but to accept it. However, if Mu Sili doesn't live up to her expectations, don't blame her for despising her as a daughter-in-law.
"I am too lazy to tell you. I just hope she is as good as you say. Didn't you ask me to summon her to the palace? I have decided to summon her to the palace tomorrow.
After all, she is my daughter-in-law. Even if I don't like her, I still have to teach her the rules and the ways of dealing with people. I just hope she won't let me down."
Kangxi watched Concubine Yi walk away with a bewildered look on his face. Why did he feel that her back looked like she was about to go to the battlefield? This wasn't the right way to meet his future daughter-in-law, was it?
Inside the prince's residence, Yinqi always felt that something was wrong. Why did he hear that his mother walked out of the Qianqing Palace in a rage?
"Given how much favored my mother is, it's impossible for her to be driven out by the emperor. Something must have happened to make her like this. Let's go to Yikun Palace."
"yes."
In the Yiku Palace, Concubine Yi looked at Yinqi with an apologetic look. She had thought that she could find a noble lady from a high-ranking family as his principal wife, but she didn't expect to get the daughter of a Yuanwailang as her daughter-in-law.
Even though Kangxi explained the reason to her, she still felt unwilling. She had wanted to ask Mu Sili to come to the palace to pay her respects tomorrow, but now that she saw Yinqi, she felt a little guilty.
This is her eldest son, and she loves him very much, but because she was not by his side to raise him since he was a child, she feels very guilty about him.
Now he is getting married, but because he was raised by the Queen Mother, he wants to marry a woman from a different place.
