"Your Majesty, aren't you angry about Prince Yong's behavior? Why are you smiling?"
"What do you know? That guy was trying to get me to rest more."
Liang Jiugong took one look at the blindly confident Kangxi and chose not to speak anymore. He had never seen anyone with such a good imagination.
After returning to Prince Yong's Mansion, Yinzhen told Mu Sili what happened in the palace and told her to get ready.
"You are pregnant now, and I am afraid that you will be made the crown prince soon. Old Eight is not someone who will give up easily, and he will definitely take action against me.
His residence is right next door to ours, so you can't meet anyone there alone, or you might get hurt. Remember that?"
"I understand, don't worry."
"The Emperor has been repeatedly hurt by his sons, and I think he must be feeling depressed. Tomorrow, I will bring the children to the palace to accompany him. You should take care of yourself in the mansion."
"Okay, then I must keep an eye on them. This palace is not like the mansion. There are traps everywhere."
"I know."
The next day, Kangxi felt more comforted when he learned that Yinzhen had brought the children into the palace. He knew that Yinzhen saw that he was in a bad mood, so he asked the children to accompany him.
The voices in the court requesting Kangxi to appoint a crown prince temporarily disappeared. Without the sound of them secretly competing with each other, the court was filled with joy.
It took Yinzhi half a year to win the battle. When the news of his victory over Tsarist Russia was passed back to the palace, Mu Sili happened to be giving birth.
"Don't worry, Madam. The baby is in the right position. This isn't your first child, so you'll be able to give birth to the young masters soon."
"I know, I'm not worried. Liuli, go tell me to take the kids away. It's too noisy outside, and I'm worried."
"Yes, don't worry, I'll tell you right away."
Liuli's departure from the delivery room gave the midwife an opportunity. She secretly applied the medicine hidden in her sleeve with her hand, intending to apply it to Mu Sili's body, causing her to bleed to death.
"Slut, what are you doing? How dare you drug the concubine? Come, take her down!"
The palace maid who had been monitoring her discovered the midwife's behavior and immediately ordered her to be tied up and sent away.
"What's going on?"
"Master, this midwife has evil intentions. She actually put medicine on her hands, hoping to cause Fu Jin to die from hemorrhage."
Yinzhen was so angry that he kicked her away. She was courting death by daring to harm his wife.
"Su Peisheng, take him down for a thorough questioning. I want to know who is behind this!"
"yes."
After a "wa wa wa" sound was heard, a tightly wrapped baby was brought to Mu Sili.
"Congratulations, Madam, it's a prince."
"She looks just like me. Bring her out for me to see."
"yes."
Yinzhen looked expectantly at the son who was about to be held in his arms. He seemed to have heard Fu Jin say that he looked like her, but he didn't know if it was really that similar.
"Father, is mother giving birth to another brother?"
"It sounds like it. Why, Yuyao doesn't like it?"
"Not really, my daughter just wants a sister, but it seems there's no hope."
Yinzhen really wanted to say that he also hoped to have a daughter, but it would be of great benefit to him if his wife gave birth to a son, so he did not dare to make any request.
When Kangxi learned that Yinzhen had another son, he came up with a name and sent it to him overnight. Yinzhen's sixth son was named Hongzhi.
Su Peisheng also found out that the midwife was bribed by Yinsi's wife Guo Luoluo, with the intention of killing Mu Sili twice in order to avenge Yinsi's house arrest caused by Yinzhen.
After Yinzhen brought the evidence, he went straight to the palace to file a complaint. Before Yinsi was released from prison, the Eighth Concubine fell seriously ill and it seemed that she might die at any time.
With the return of Yinzhi and others, Yinsi no longer cared about the Eighth Concubine, because voices calling for the establishment of a crown prince appeared in the court again.
This is what Yinsi thought. Kangxi had not appointed Yinzhen as the crown prince for half a year, which meant that the person Kangxi chose was not Yinzhen. In this case, he still had a chance.
In the end, he was too eager for quick success and said out loud what he had kept in his heart for half a year.
"How dare you, the son of a lowly servant in the Xinzheku, dream of becoming the crown prince?"
The few words "son of a lowly maid in the Xinzheku" exposed Yinsi's disguise. He had already lost the support of Yin'er and Yin'er, and those so-called retainers did not dare to speak for him.
For a moment, he lost face like a clown.
"I am not worthy of the position of Crown Prince. Who does Your Majesty think is worthy of this position?"
Kangxi had already decided to appoint the crown prince, so he expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
"My fourth son is worthy of the position of Crown Prince. What do you think?"
"I second the proposal. The position of Crown Prince must belong to my fourth brother."
"I also think that Fourth Brother is the most suitable candidate. Your Majesty has good taste."
"I second this motion."
The happiest people were Tong Guowei and others. They had always stood behind Yinzhen. If Yinzhen came to power, they would all be heroes.
Seeing that Yin'er and Yin'e also supported Yinzhen's ascension to the throne, Yinsi exploded.
"You two are brothers who grew up with me, so why don't you support me and instead support the fourth brother who caused me to be imprisoned?
Did he promise you any favors? How could he, a man who can't have children, become the crown prince? Is it because he can't have children?
Old Nine and Old Ten, I didn't expect that you would abandon your brothers for the sake of profit. I misjudged you. Don't forget how you treated him in the past.
With his petty nature, he will definitely not let you go. I am waiting to see you regret it."
"Myna, you should think about yourself. You formed a clique to harm your brothers. This time, the Emperor will not let you go."
As expected, Yinsi was punished by Kangxi to go to the clan house to keep the former crown prince company.
Yinzhen was named crown prince by Kangxi and successfully ascended the throne three years later.
The reason was that when Kangxi saw Yinzhen's idle look, he remembered what he said about getting up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs.
After careful consideration, Kangxi felt that he did not want to die early, so after three years of negotiations with Yinzhen, Yinzhen finally gave in and agreed to ascend the throne.
As soon as the coronation ceremony was over, Kangxi took Concubine Yi and others out of the palace for a trip. Half of his life had passed, and he had to enjoy the remaining days, otherwise he would be letting down his efforts in the first half of his life.
After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he named Mu Sili as the queen. He did not want to appoint a prince at this time, but Honghui asked Yinzhen to confer a title on him on the grounds that his health was too poor and he was not as good as Honghui in all aspects.
Since they were all going to be conferred titles anyway, he took the opportunity to make Hongyu the crown prince, Yuyao the Princess Gulun Huaike, and the other children the King of Qin.
Because of her relationship with the Tong family and Yuyao herself had a crush on Tong Guowei's grandson Shun Anyan, Yinzhen discussed with Mu Sili and betrothed her to Shun Anyan.
With them and brothers like Honghui around, Yuyao lived a very happy life in Tong Mansion.
Ten years later, Yinzhen also passed the throne to Hongyan, and he moved to Changchun Garden with Mu Sili, where they both died of old age.
