How could this be possible? She was his biological mother. Once the jade book was changed, he would really have nothing to do with her. Why? He should atone for Tong Jia's sins for the rest of his life. Why should he live better than her?
Since God let him return to her, it was to let him be a stepping stone for Fourteenth. She would never allow him to be renamed as Tonggiya's legitimate son.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. Have you forgotten? Your Majesty is the Empress, the mother of a nation. If the fourth child is registered under her name, then he will definitely be the legitimate son, which will threaten the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince is the legitimate son of Empress Yuan, and he has a close relationship with the Fourth Prince. If the Fourth Prince becomes the legitimate son, he will inevitably suspect that the Fourth Prince has rebellious intentions. Please do not change the Fourth Prince's jade book.
I know I was wrong. From today on, I will treat the Fourth Brother well and will never ignore his existence. Please cancel this plan because I am devoted to you.
He is the son I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. I was angry before, but I won't do it again. If Fourteen knew that his fourth brother's name was to be changed to the Empress's, he would be heartbroken. "
Even at this time, she still can't bear to see Yinzhen get better. She is really a good mother. He will not change his mind.
"The fourth son is truly blessed to have a mother like you. Now that I have made my decision, I will not change it. Concubine De, you will take care of yourself."
Concubine De looked at him in shock. Since he was determined to get Yinzhen out of her control, she shouldn't blame her for being cruel and making him bear the stigma of being unfilial.
Kangxi didn't expect that before he had done anything, news of Yinzhen's unfilial behavior spread outside. He knew without thinking that it was Concubine De who did it. She really disliked him as a son.
"Come here, since Concubine Hui hates the Fourth Prince so much and would rather have him bear the infamy than destroy him, then I will show her that her schemes and calculations are nothing to me."
The next day when he went to court, Kangxi directly announced his intention to register Yinzhen under the name of Empress Xiaoyi, which shocked the court for a while.
The prince looked at Yinzhen with a bad look. It felt as if he regarded Yinzhen as a brother who could share life and death with him, but Yinzhen was only concerned about his wealth and status. It was very unpleasant.
"Fourth brother is really good at this. He actually managed to get the Emperor to register you under the name of the Empress. Now that you are also the legitimate son, what's going on? Are you trying to compete with me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, second brother? Even if my younger brother is registered under the name of the Empress Dowager, it is just because the Emperor wants to give her a posthumous honor. It will not pose a threat to my second brother."
The prince didn't believe his lies at all. In his opinion, he had trusted him wrongly. If he could persuade the emperor to recognize Ji as his legitimate son, then Ji must be eyeing his position as the prince.
Just as my uncle said, no one in this world would treat him sincerely, they all wanted his things.
"Fourth brother, please have less contact with me in the future, lest if I get tricked one day, I subconsciously think it was you who did it.
I used to be obsessed with fighting with my elder brother, but I didn't expect that there was a wolf by my side, and I was almost killed by him.
But I also want to thank Fourth Brother for teaching me a lesson: don't trust anyone easily; they don't deserve it."
Yinzhen moved his lips but didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of helplessness. Since the prince said so, he would definitely stay away from him, but he had to put on a show.
"Second brother really misunderstood me. It's only because the Emperor felt sorry for me that I..."
"Stop talking. I don't believe a word you say. Brother, do you think that fighting for so long will only serve to benefit others?"
Yinzhi, who was watching their internal strife with great interest, rolled his eyes at the prince. He was not a fool, so how could he not see that his words were meant to provoke him?
However, the fourth son was really capable and actually became the legitimate son. He expressed his envy.
But no matter how envious he is, even if he is the legitimate son, what does it matter? He has the military power in his hands. How can we be afraid of him, a prince without real power?
"Second brother, please don't involve outsiders in our grievances. Even if the fourth brother becomes the legitimate son, what does it matter? Are you really afraid that he will snatch your position as crown prince?
It’s a pity that the fourth brother has served you for many years. Even I, your rival, envy his loyalty to you. I didn’t expect that you would take the initiative to push him away. Isn’t this a bargain for me?
Fourth brother, why don't you switch to Big Brother's name? The second brother won't trust you anyway. You might as well follow Big Brother. Big Brother guarantees that if Big Brother eats Big Brother's meat, you will have soup to drink."
Yinzhen was speechless. Should he still thank him for his generosity? He himself had ulterior motives, so how could he still rely on someone else?
If the Emperor knew that he was still so unmotivated even though he was his legitimate son, he would probably regret registering him under the name of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager had paid so much to make him the legitimate son. Now that he is the legitimate son, he must make good use of this relationship to become a superior person.
"No need, big brother. My change of identity will make many people wary. If I really switch to your name, it will bring you trouble.
Second brother, I'm telling you the truth. I've been by your side for so many years and have never had any bad feelings towards you, whether you believe it or not.
My younger brother never thought that the Emperor would register his younger brother under the name of the Empress Dowager. After all, even the Empress Dowager's serious illness didn't change his mind.
The prince didn't listen to his explanation. He was convinced that this was the case. He was really blind and almost made things difficult for him.
"I don't believe you don't know anything. I'm afraid you've been going to the palace so frequently recently just for this matter. Fourth Brother, don't say you're mine from now on. I'm afraid someone will stab me in the back."
Seeing that his words were not convincing, Yinzhen did not intend to say too much. After all, even if he had ulterior motives, so what? If he did not admit it, they could not do anything to him.
"After all, it was my younger brother who disappointed my second brother. Don't worry, my younger brother won't say he's a member of the princeling party anymore."
Yinzhen's expression was somewhat helpless, and his tone was a bit firm, which made the prince wonder for a moment whether what he said was true or false. Could it be that he really wronged him?
No, even if he had wronged him, so what? From the moment he became the legitimate son, they were destined to become enemies. After all, before that, he was the only legitimate son, and they were all illegitimate sons.
It seems that I have to go back and have a good talk with my uncle. If he really wants to compete with him for the position of crown prince, he may not be able to win.
After the farce ended, Yinzhen was summoned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity by Kangxi.
"Why, you're not happy about becoming the legitimate son?"
"Father Emperor, do you think my son was wrong? If it had not been recorded under the name of the Empress Dowager, then my second brother would not have misunderstood me.
My son has been with his second brother since he was very young. He will never forget the scene of his second brother protecting him when he was young. Why did he become like this when he grew up?
Kangxi looked at him with some heartache, as he regarded the prince as his salvation.
