Perhaps realizing what Liang Jiugong meant, Kangxi laughed. How could he have forgotten about this?
But so what? There are no secrets in the palace, so it's normal for him to know. In that case, why should he care about what others think?
"Just go if you're told to. Don't worry too much. I know what I'm doing and what I should and shouldn't do. I owe this to Xiao Si. Just think of it as a way to appease Xiao Yi."
"Yes, I understand."
Liang Jiugong went to the prince's office to announce the decree with a nervous heart, and as soon as he left, Yinzhen arrived.
"My son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"It's rare. This is the first time you come to my place so late. In the past, you were not willing to come even when I asked you to."
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I am happy to be able to accompany you in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but I still have a lot to learn. It is not good for me to come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity all the time. If people think the wrong thing, it will affect the relationship between me and my second brother.
Your Majesty, I am here to apologize to you. Just before I came out, I confined my wife to the courtyard. I was really angry, so I confined her. Please forgive my behavior.
My son knows that she is your appointed legitimate wife and the daughter-in-law chosen by the Empress Dowager herself. I have tried very hard to get along with her, but her behavior suffocates me. If you hear any rumors during this period, please do not believe them.
The son has already consulted the imperial physician, and there is nothing wrong with his body. Not only that, the imperial physician also said that his son is in very good health. Song is pregnant again, and the son just took extra care of her, but this made Fu Jin hold a grudge against him.
Favoring the concubine and killing the wife, what vicious four words, no matter how much the son likes Song, he will not ignore the wife's thoughts, why does she think so of her son?
If his son really favors his concubine over his wife, he would hate himself. Although he knows that he is not that kind of person, he really cannot turn a blind eye to it, not to mention that she even sent people to spread rumors.
If my son had not discovered it in time, I am afraid that the whole palace would be filled with rumors about my son's incompetence. How would my son cope with it in the future?
"It is true that my son has confined my wife to her house, but I have no regrets. My wife used to be very respectful of the rules, but in just a month or so she has become tactless and unreasonable. I would like to ask the Emperor for a favor. Please, Emperor, please agree to my request."
After saying his last sentence, Yinzhen knelt down on the ground again. Regardless of whether Kangxi would punish him or not, he had to show the right attitude.
Kangxi was indeed very satisfied with his attitude, so he let him go without blaming him. After all, he was his own son. No matter how good his daughter-in-law was, could she be compared with his son?
"It's good that you know what you did was wrong. I don't think you are wrong. You don't need to admit your mistakes to me. She is your wife. You don't have to report everything between you two to me, and you don't have to feel guilty towards me.
Although she is the legitimate wife chosen for you by your Empress Dowager, you are entitled to punish her if she does something wrong. Moreover, it is just such a small matter as confinement to the main courtyard. As a prince, you do not need to feel guilty.
To be frank, in my opinion, although she is my daughter-in-law, if she leaves you, she will be just a slave to me, and I will not allow her to control you.
You are a man of seven feet tall, do you really have to accommodate her in everything? These years have been very difficult for you. I don't know whether I know what's going on in your courtyard or not, but you are already an adult, so it's not easy for me to interfere.
Now that you have your own ideas, you must have the courage to bear the consequences. Your wife dared to do such a thing, perhaps thinking that you would not bother with her, right? "
After thinking carefully, Yinzhen shook his head. He thought that this was not the case. Fu Jin was always proud. How could she deliberately test him?
If it was really a test, he wouldn't have to feel guilty. No, when had he ever felt guilty towards Fu Jin? In his opinion, Fu Jin was a jealous person, and since she was jealous, she would not let it go.
If he didn't discover her behavior today, he would become the laughing stock of the whole world tomorrow, and he might even be disliked by Kangxi.
He is a prince, and was raised by the queen. If he is rejected by the emperor, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
He had never thought of seizing the position of crown prince, but if the crown prince made a mistake and lost the position, he could fight for it for himself. After all, he also had some ambitions.
"It's my fault. I'm sorry to have caused you worry, Father Huang. I have something to tell you. Please don't be angry after hearing it."
Kangxi was stunned. What could he possibly be asking for at this moment? Ha! His memory was so poor. He had just instructed Liang Jiugong to go to the prince's residence to announce the decree, but now that Yinzhen had arrived, he had completely forgotten.
"Tell me what it is first. I have to listen to it before I know whether to agree to your request or not, right?"
"It's a son, isn't it? It's just... isn't Song pregnant? Today, my son asked the imperial physician to check her pulse, and the physician said she's carrying twins.
The son knew it was a bit early to say this now, but she was weak in nature. If she didn't have enough status, she would be easily harmed by others. She was pregnant with twins, a rare occurrence, so the son wanted to ask for mercy for her.
My son is now a Beile. According to the rules, he can have two concubines. My son wants to give one of them to her. No matter whether she gives birth to a prince or a princess, they are all my children. My son does not want to be criticized for being son-biased.
Song has made great contributions to giving birth to a son, and today she stood up to speak for her son when Fu Jin said those words. In addition to gratitude, her son is more happy for her. She is worthy of being the person you have chosen for her, and she is loved by her son.
In fact, there was a moment today when her son felt indifferent. After all, he is no longer the person who was easily affected by other people's emotions. But she is different. She really wants to protect her son. "
Yinzhen's eyes were full of tenderness when he mentioned Mu Sili, which made Kangxi feel a pang of jealousy. Was this guy showing off to him that he had someone he liked?
But he was right. This person was chosen by him as his father. She was liked by him and gave birth to his child. It was indeed a good choice by him. Therefore, he would definitely grant the grace he asked for. Look, he has already asked Liang Jiugong to do it.
"What favor do you want for her?"
"My son would like to ask the Emperor to agree to grant Song the title of concubine after she gives birth."
"Just for this little thing? Nothing else?"
