Honghui's eyes were a little evasive. As his mother said, he really didn't want to come to the main courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the main courtyard, he remembered that she had forced him to get up early to study. If he didn't finish studying, not only would he not be able to rest, he wouldn't even be able to eat.
She was only three years old at that time. Her mother was really cruel.
Since moving to the front yard, he clearly saw how Li E'niang treated his eldest sister, Hongyan and three younger brothers. At that moment, he thought it would be great if he was also Li E'niang's child.
Perhaps God heard his heart, and since moving to the front yard, Li E'niang treated him like her own son.
He would stay in the front yard for a few days and then go to Li E'niang's yard for two days. There was a room specially prepared for him there.
Even when it came to her own studies, Li E'niang was very attentive. She and Hongyan learned the same things without any bias.
Moreover, Li E'niang stipulated that he should take a quarter-hour break after studying for half an hour, so that he would not get too tired. Now he did not hate studying at all.
"Mother, you care too much about power. You always say you are doing this for your son's good, but I know you are only doing it for your own benefit. I may be young, but I am not stupid."
Fu Jin was really angry. She felt that her son was corrupted by Mu Sili. In a fit of rage, she stood up and slapped Honghui.
There was a loud bang, and the only motherly affection Honghui had for her was gone.
"Honghui, mother didn't mean it. Mother just hates you for accepting a thief as your mother..."
"Father, my son wants to go back. My second brother is waiting to go to the study with him."
"Go ahead."
After Honghui left, Mu Sili looked at Fu Jin seriously.
"You always say that you're doing this for Honghui's own good, hoping that he can become successful soon, but you don't even know what you secretly pushed him into three years ago.
When Honghui first arrived at the front yard, he was so thin that he didn't look like a three-year-old child at all. Honghui could push him down with a slight touch.
If it weren't for my careful care over the past few years, you would have lost this son long ago.
Therefore, I am worthy of being called Li E'niang by Honghui.
Master, the children will be hungry soon. I will go and prepare a meal for them. When you are done here, please go back to the front yard. We will have dinner there today."
"good."
The gentle look in Yinzhen's eyes as he watched Mu Sili leave deeply hurt Fu Jin's heart.
"My Lord, do you like Li so much? What a pity! Even if I die, she can only be a concubine. The Emperor will never make her his wife."
"That's not necessarily true. You did remind me that according to the rules, Li Shi can't become the second wife, but it's well known that I can't have children, so this situation is different.
You should know that no minister would be willing to give his daughter to me as my successor, even if she is not favored, because marrying her would mean being a widow."
Fu Jin wanted to continue to argue, but she truly felt the passing of her life. It was possible that Mu Sili would really become the successor of the Fourth Prince's Mansion after her death.
I'm not willing to accept this. I really am not willing to accept this.
Yinzhen went out happily. After all, he let Fu Jin live because he was afraid that Fu Jin would bully Mu Sili and her son after she came into the house. Now, Fu Jin gave him great inspiration.
He has been given a sterilizing drug. The fact that Li hasn't gotten pregnant in the past few years proves that he is indeed incurable. In this case, why would he harm an innocent girl?
Anyway, Li is already his concubine, so he can just find an opportunity to ask the emperor to make her his regular wife. The emperor should agree, right?
Seven days later, Fu Jin died of illness in the main courtyard.
Honghui was a little confused after losing his mother suddenly. Wasn’t his mother fine a few days ago? How could she be gone suddenly?
No matter how much I dislike her or how dissatisfied I am with her behavior, she is still my mother!
"Mother Li, is it true that my son has lost his mother?"
"You still have Mother Li and your siblings to accompany you. Honghui, change into plain clothes and go to the main courtyard. Your mother passed away suddenly, so don't be too sad."
"Brother, your younger brother will accompany you."
"Big sister will accompany you too. We are like siblings."
Honghui seemed to have found a backbone. After changing into plain clothes, the group went to the main courtyard.
After all, Kangxi did not abolish her position as the legitimate wife, so the entire funeral was held according to the standards for a legitimate wife. Unfortunately, no one from the Ulanara Mansion attended.
Three months later, in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with a serious expression with a headache.
Just now, he actually said that he wanted to make Concubine Li his wife's wife. Is that something he could just say casually? There was no precedent for making a concubine his wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife.
"Father, I am serious. I have been cooperating with the imperial physician for three years, but it is still useless.
I'm afraid my son won't have a good life for the rest of his life. Instead of bringing disaster to other people's girls, it's better for him to live a good life in the mansion, so that people won't blame me for being unable to have children and still thinking about other people's good girls.
Besides, I only have five sons and one daughter, four of whom were born to Concubine Li, so it is reasonable to make her Concubine."
Kangxi thought about it carefully and found that it was true, but he still had to wait for a suitable opportunity to promote his concubine to be his main wife.
"This matter is of great significance. I need to consider it. However, I remember that the imperial physician said some time ago that your body could be cured. Are you willing to let Li take the position of legitimate wife?"
"Father Your Majesty, I have experienced all kinds of things in the world over the past three years, but Li has always been there for me. I don't want to let her down.
If I can have children in the future, that would be great. If not, I won't force it. I already have quite a few children."
"I understand. I plan to go to Mulan for the autumn hunt soon. You can take Li with you."
"Yes, I thank the Emperor."
When the prince learned that Kangxi was going to Mulan for the autumn hunt, he became interested. In recent years, Kangxi had become more and more fond of Yinzhen, which made him increasingly uneasy.
If Yinzhen could be eliminated during the Mulan Autumn Hunt, it would be like getting rid of a serious threat.
"The Crown Prince is truly cunning. He actually intends to eliminate me during this Mulan Autumn Hunt. Does he really think that without me, he can secure his position as Crown Prince?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Doesn't he want to kill me? It just so happens that I need a reason to make Li the legitimate wife. Since he's already brought the reason to my door, how can I refuse it?"
"But this is a bit rash. What if I get hurt?"
"No, I know my limits."
Not to mention Yinzhen, even Kangxi knew the prince's plan.
Kangxi had not set foot in Kunning Palace for a long time. Looking at the portrait of the queen on the wall, there were memories and sadness in his eyes.
"Empress, Baocheng has grown up and has his own thoughts. I thought I had raised him well, but who would have thought that he would grow up in a wrong way."
