"Why bother saying so much to him? I can see that the Emperor doesn't want him to leave the palace. I'm so happy when I think about the colorful world outside the palace that he can't see!"
Yinzhen was speechless. What did he mean by this? Did he think that he couldn't get out now or in the future?
How could it be possible? He was just internally appointed, not imprisoned. How could he not be able to leave? These people would often think so, and he almost believed it.
"It's true that my younger brother can't see the colorful world outside, but he can see the sufferings of the people that his brothers can't see. I've decided to work harder and help them solve their problems."
"Okay, after we leave the palace, you will be the oldest prince in the palace. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, so you should spend more time with him and don't let him get angry and get sick."
"I understand, eldest brother, third brother, have a safe journey. I won't see you off. Once the house is cleaned up, you must treat me to a drink."
"Don't worry, you're welcome. It's getting late, let's go."
Yinzhen watched them leave with eager eyes. The emperor was really something. Even if he was really chosen, he should have let him live out of the palace for a while, right?
If someone didn't know this, they would probably say that he deposed the crown prince for the sake of his son. Otherwise, why did he stay in the palace while others left and built their own residences?
No, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He had to leave the palace no matter what, otherwise how could he have a private residence?
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was furious when he heard Yinzhen mention leaving the palace again. He had done it so obviously, was he still going to go against him?
If he were allowed to leave the palace and see the colorful world, would he still stay in the palace? It was impossible for him to leave the palace.
"What are you thinking, Father? My son said that my elder brother and the others have left the palace, and it would be bad if he didn't leave. Besides, you promised to let him leave the palace at the beginning, how could you go back on your word?"
"I never thought that the Second Brother would take action at Honghui and the others' full moon banquet. If I had known, I would never have agreed to let you leave the palace. Don't say this again. I don't like it.
It just so happens that I still have some memorials to review. You can take care of them. I will teach you how to handle them so that you don’t have to spend the whole day thinking about leaving the palace.
By the way, what are you going to do about Song? You're not going to just make her a concubine, are you? I can tell you, besides Guarjia, she's the daughter-in-law I value most."
Yinzhen didn't know how to respond for a moment. Kangxi meant it clearly to him that he already treated her as his daughter-in-law, and if he didn't take any action, he would look down on him.
Since he said so, it would be tactless for him not to appreciate it. After all, it was his request, so he would just do as he wished. After all, he would be the one who benefited.
"How did the Emperor know that my son came here to ask for permission to appoint Song as his wife? My son is a prince now, and he can't do without a legitimate wife..."
"Where's the memorial? How can I approve it if you don't send me a memorial?"
"Wasn't it possible for the Emperor to wake up by issuing an edict? Why does he need his son to write a memorial? If I had that much time, I would rather read a few more memorials, so that you don't blame me for not helping you out."
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong with some doubt. Had he done such a thing? Could it be that that brat Yinzhen was deliberately saying this to frame him?
Liang Jiugong nodded imperceptibly. Seeing this, Kangxi smiled embarrassedly. Even Liang Jiugong could see it, so he must have done such a thing. But so what? He was his father. What was wrong with asking him to help with something?
"Alright, I won't agree to you leaving the palace. I can make Song your legitimate wife, though. She's a good person, and I hope you'll both be well in the future."
"My son thanks the Emperor for his help. Mrs. Song is indeed good. It is also because of the Emperor's unique vision. Otherwise, such a good woman would not be available to my son."
Kangxi was unhappy. This was implying that if Defei knew that Mu Sili was a good person, she would definitely not let her be Yinzhen's princess. It seemed that he had to deal with Defei before the fourth prince ascended the throne.
Otherwise, when the fourth prince ascends the throne, Defei will become the empress dowager in name only. She has always favored Yinzhen. If she asks the fourth prince to give up his throne to Yinzhen, it will be very interesting.
Anyway, she didn't treat the fourth son as her own biological son, and the fourth son didn't get close to her. It would be better to fulfill Xiaoyi's wish and let the fourth son be registered under her name.
"I remember that before your mother passed away, she told me that she wanted to register you under her name. At that time, I was worried about her health and refused. I didn't expect that this would become her lifelong regret.
Over the years, I have been wondering if I had registered you under her name, she would not have left me so early. Unfortunately, it is too late now, she can't come back."
Yinzhen was stunned. He understood that he wanted to register him under the name of the Empress Dowager and make him a legitimate son, so that Defei would not be able to threaten him by using his biological mother's identity in the future.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager had always hoped that he would be her only legitimate son. If the imperial edict could really be changed, the Empress Dowager's spirit in heaven would surely rest in peace.
"Why is the Emperor saying this for no reason? It's true that the Empress Dowager has passed away, but a son will always be the Empress Dowager's son. Even if the name is not registered under the Empress Dowager's name, the son is still the Empress Dowager's son."
"I know, but I want to make it up to her and you. After all, I have treated you unfairly over the years. If I don't set a good example, I don't know how your Royal Mother will blame me when I go to the Eternal Heaven."
"What nonsense are you talking about, my Royal Father? You are in good health and it won't be a problem for you to live for a few more decades. My son has already lost his mother, and I don't want to lose my father at such a young age."
Kangxi was furious at his words. When did he say that he was going to die? The bastard was just not considerate enough. It was really hard for Empress Xiaoyi to dote on him so much back then.
"Let me ask you, if your imperial certificate were changed to your mother's name, would you be willing?"
"Emperor Father?"
Yinzhen acted surprised, as if he didn't expect Kangxi to say such a thing, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he had finally waited for this day.
It is true that Concubine De is his biological mother, but she has no feelings for him at all. As long as he is registered under the name of Empress Xiaoyi, he will not have to face her in the future.
But no matter what he thought, he still looked embarrassed. He knew that Kangxi loved him, but he wanted him to speak up to stop Concubine De from plotting against him.
"I know you're surprised, but this is the result of my careful consideration. Concubine De doesn't take you seriously anyway, so you don't have to care about her thoughts. I hope you can relax in the future and not be tied down by her."
