But Yinzhen was different. He was her biological brother. Even when he was being raised by Queen Tong, he still cared for her as his younger sister.
In addition, the two were siblings from the same mother, so she believed that as long as Yinzhen came to the throne, she would be able to rest easy for the rest of her life, instead of sending her to marry a foreign prince as the empress dowager said.
How many people who marry into a foreign alliance have a good ending? As a princess, she should be living in luxury, why should she go to Mongolia to suffer?
Moreover, Yinzhen and Defei both promised her that once the Empress Dowager agreed to support Yinzhen to ascend the throne, they would give her the highest honor and let her live a life of wealth and glory for the rest of her life. Comparing them in this way, she would of course stand on their side.
"I'll tell you the truth. In my eyes, even if I really want to support someone to take the throne, it will be Xiaowu, not anyone else. After all, Xiaowu grew up under my care, and I believe he can lead the Qing Dynasty to another level."
"What? You're supporting Fifth Brother to take the throne? Why would you do that? Just because you raised him, can you ignore Fourth Brother's excellence? Royal Mam, your granddaughter never thought you were so superficial!"
"Superficial? How dare you, Wen Xian! Who gave you the guts to speak to the Queen Mother like that? I've noticed that Concubine De has been increasingly disregarding the rules lately. Otherwise, how could she have taught you to behave like this?"
Empress Dowager, please don't be angry. I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity right now. Wen Xian is still young and can be corrected with a little teaching. But Concubine De is so old and still can't teach a child. I think it's time to discipline her."
"Go and tell the emperor that I'm furious. If this matter isn't resolved properly and my little five is wronged, I'll throw myself headfirst into the gate of Shoukang Palace and die."
"Please calm down. I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity right now."
Concubine Yi glared at Wen Xian angrily and left with her people. She was so anxious because Concubine De was plotting against the Crown Prince. She had to file a complaint against Concubine De before she went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Although according to previous circumstances, Kangxi intended to let Yinqi take the throne, but Yinqi is now seriously injured. What if he is intercepted by Yinzhen?
The person she disliked the most during all these years in the palace was Concubine De. If she dared to set her sights on her son's position, then don't blame her for dethroning her as a concubine.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi looked at the angry Concubine Yi with a headache. He didn't know what Wen Xian had done. He thought that he had hurt Yinqi and made her unhappy.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but only Concubine Yi can please him, and he doesn't want to make her unhappy.
"Don't be so angry. At least let me know what happened so I can decide how to deal with it. I know Niu was angry that I didn't protect Xiaowu, but haven't I already made amends?"
"So all my anger for so long was for nothing? Let me make it clear first, I'm not angry about this matter. Just like what Xiaowu's wife said, Xiaowu is able to protect you from disaster because he is your husband and wife. I am only honored. How can I be angry?
I am angry now because Wen Xian said something he shouldn't have said and angered the Queen Mother. After all, I am a daughter-in-law. How could I possibly watch my mother-in-law get angry?
After hearing what Concubine Yi said, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because she was angry with him about this matter, but why did Wen Xian make the empress dowager angry?
"Please tell me in detail. I am confused now. How did Wen Xian make the Empress Dowager angry?"
Concubine Yi didn't say anything else, but showed Kangxi what Wen Xian had done in Shoukang Palace. After learning that Wen Xian had actually said such words to the empress dowager, Kangxi became angry.
"Xiaowu was just seriously injured while saving me. She grew up with Xiaowu in Shoukang Palace, but instead of caring about Xiaowu's health, she is concerned about his position as crown prince.
The Crown Prince had just been deposed, and the three of them, mother and son, were already trying to win over the Queen Mother to support them. Did they think that Xiao Wu was deposed? To be honest, what made them think that Xiao Si could become the Crown Prince?
Even if I let the eldest brother succeed to the throne, I will never let the fourth brother succeed to the throne. Such an idea will only make me think that they are too ruthless and wish me to die quickly."
Wen Xian heard Kangxi's words as soon as she reached the gate of the Qianqing Palace. She was frightened. She had never thought that Kangxi would say this to her. In her impression, Kangxi loved her very much.
Perhaps relying on Kangxi's love for her, she pushed the door open and rushed in.
"Father, please forgive me. That's not what I meant. I just think Fourth Brother is a great man and very suitable for the position of Crown Prince. That's why I made that request to Your Majesty.
I know you don't like others to interfere in this matter, but I really want to fight for my fourth brother. He hasn't been happy for a long time since the death of the Empress Dowager.
My daughter and my fourth brother are siblings from the same mother. Mother is not as close to him as she appears to be to others. I really just want him to have a better life. Please agree to my daughter's request."
"So in your eyes, Xiao Si has suffered such a great injustice? If that's true, Xiao Wu must have suffered a great injustice. You have to know that Xiao Wu was raised by the Queen Mother herself."
Concubine Yi rolled her eyes at her. It was enough to have such a silly princess in the palace. Why not arrange a marriage for her now, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the royal family one day.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi helplessly. She really needed to change her temper. If this got out, people would say she was unruly.
Although he also felt that Wen Xian was getting dumber as she grew older, she was his daughter after all, and he still had to save face. Some things were better left to them alone and there was no need to spread them around.
"Tell me the truth. Is this your idea or the idea of Concubine De and Yinzhen? I want to hear the truth. After all, in my eyes, you are not smart enough to do this."
Wen Xian was a little unconvinced, but she really couldn't think of this. This matter was also arranged by Defei and Yinzhen, but betraying them like this, didn't it make her seem a little stupid?
"Looking at you like this, I know this has nothing to do with you. They instigated you to do it. Why did I give birth to such a fool like you, to be used as a tool for no reason?"
Wen Xian felt aggrieved. She just wanted to make better plans for herself, so why was she considered a fool in Kangxi's eyes?
"Why does the Emperor say this about his daughter? Haven't you noticed that you and the Emperor have changed since your fifth sister-in-law married your fifth brother? You used to love your daughter very much, but now neither of you cares about her anymore.
The Queen Mother was even worse. Not only did she not love her daughter, she was eager to marry her off quickly to prevent her from bringing harm to her and her fifth brother.
"Father Huang, I really want to ask you, is your Fifth Sister-in-law your daughter or is your daughter your daughter? Why do you treat her better than your own daughter?"
