Kangxi felt even more aggrieved. It turned out that he was no longer important after having a child. If he had known this, he would have said that he would have waited two years before having a child with her.
"Don't go. I really have something to talk to you about. Come and sit down."
"What worries Your Majesty so much? I remember that I haven't had anything to bother you with recently."
"I don't know who instigated me to appoint a crown prince now. Do you think I should appoint this one? I'm really worried. They're still so young, and no one is suitable."
"Crown Prince? Who is so bold as to ask for an imperial decree to appoint a Crown Prince at this time? The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country, he can't just be appointed like that. No, it couldn't be Father who said that, could it be?"
Mu Sili felt that it was very possible that Soetu could really do such a thing.
Kangxi shook his head. This was not done by Soetu, but was proposed by other ministers. He had opposed it when he heard the proposal.
Let him think about what he said at that time. By the way, the princes are still young. Even if a prince is appointed, it will take a few years. It is a bit too early to appoint one now.
"It wasn't Suo'etu who proposed it, but he suggested waiting a few years. I think so too, but I want to hear your opinion. If we were to appoint a crown prince, who do you think would be the most suitable?"
"Since ancient times, the eldest son of the legitimate wife has always been appointed as the crown prince. If it really comes to the point where it has to be appointed, I still hope to choose the crown prince from Baoqing and Baocheng. After all, they are the eldest son and the legitimate wife, so it is legitimate."
"Baoqing and Baocheng? Indeed, I also think I should choose from them, but let's wait and see. My other sons are not bad either."
"Your Majesty, are you comforting yourself or me? If I remember correctly, Xiao San and Xiao Si were only a few months old. How did you know they were so outstanding?"
"My sons are naturally excellent. Could it be that I am wrong? If they were not excellent enough, they would not be reborn as my sons."
Kangxi's confidence made Mu Sili look sideways. How could she not have known he was so confident? But what he said made sense. His son was really not bad.
"I have no objection to whomever the Emperor appoints as the Crown Prince, but I hope you will do so after careful consideration rather than acting arbitrarily.
The talk of establishing a crown prince in the court is also because they hope to stabilize the Qing Dynasty. Don't blame them, their original intention is also for the good of the Qing Dynasty."
"I understand. I will make a careful selection. Even if I really want to appoint a crown prince, it's not now. I will select the most suitable person to be the crown prince and teach him well."
"Since Your Majesty has made his plans, I will not disturb you any longer. I still need to go back to take care of the children. Please come back when you are done. I will take my leave."
Kangxi just watched her walk away without looking back. He looked at Liang Jiugong in confusion. Is he so unimportant?
"Liang Jiugong, am I not as important as those two brats in the eyes of the Imperial Concubine?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or a lie? You know, I have always stood on the side of the Imperial Concubine. If you insist on a result, then I think you are really not as important as the two princes."
Kangxi's expression changed instantly. He knew that those two brats were not good people. They actually competed with him for favor!
"But Your Majesty, please think carefully. It is the Empress who will accompany you throughout your life. The two princes and even the princes and princesses born in the future can only occupy a portion of the Empress's time, not as much as yours."
"Indeed, I intend to spend my entire life with the Imperial Concubine. Let them occupy some of her time for now. When the time is right, I will travel the world with her."
"Your Majesty, although I think your idea is good, I still have to remind you that this dream will take decades to realize."
Kangxi had just calmed himself down when Liang Jiugong's words instantly plunged him into the abyss. He was such a good servant of his that he would ruin his plans. Do you believe he would punish him?
"Wait outside for me. Seeing you gives me a headache."
"I'll take my leave."
After returning to Yiku Palace, Mu Sili asked someone to deliver a letter from home to Soetu. Since she was a member of the Hesheli clan, she naturally had to make plans for them.
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince Kangxi wants to appoint is Baocheng. In this case, they just need to wait and see and there is no need to get involved.
Besides, she not only raised Baocheng, but also gave birth to Yinzhen. For Hesheli, they had already won at the starting line. Even if others wanted to play tricks, they could not defeat them.
If you have that much time, you might as well do more things that benefit the country and the people. This way, Baocheng will have a greater chance of becoming the crown prince and keeping his position firmly.
After receiving Mu Sili's letter, Soetu immediately notified all his clansmen not to interfere in the dispute over the crown prince. They had enough bargaining chips and there was no need to do anything to annoy Kangxi.
In the days that followed, some people still proposed to establish a crown prince, but Kangxi had already made his decision, so he directly rejected it in the court.
"My sons are all outstanding, so it's okay to appoint any one of them as Crown Prince. However, they are too young. I hope you won't mention this matter again. When the time is right, I will naturally appoint a Crown Prince."
Since Kangxi said so, they naturally would not go against him. It was just a pity, as they still wanted to see who he would appoint as the crown prince.
What Kangxi didn't know was that the reason they proposed to appoint a crown prince was because they wanted to see whether he would appoint the second prince or the fourth prince.
Although they were both raised under the name of Mu Sili, one was an adopted son and the other was a biological son, and they were simply curious. Who would have thought that Kangxi would not be fooled? It seems that they will not be able to see this excitement.
After there was no talk of appointing a crown prince in the court, the harem was peaceful for quite a while. On this day, Concubine Hui came.
"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. I hope I haven't disturbed her by coming here so hastily."
"How come you have time to come here? Isn't Rongpin here?"
"No, I came here today to ask you to help me. Baoqing has been living outside the palace for several years, and I want to take him back."
"Yes, the emperor mentioned this to me a few days ago. Baoqing is the eldest prince, and it's not good for him to live outside the palace all the time. When the emperor comes, I will mention this to him. Don't worry."
When Huipin heard this, she immediately knelt down in front of Mu Sili excitedly to thank her for her help. After all, she couldn't bring her son back on her own, otherwise she wouldn't have made this trip.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. When Baoqing returns, I will definitely educate him well and let him get along well with his brothers. I have waited for so many years, and finally I can be reunited with him."
"As your mother, I understand your feelings. If there hadn't been so many young princes who died in the palace, the emperor wouldn't have sent him out of the palace to be raised. Don't blame the emperor."
"How could I blame the emperor? If the emperor hadn't sent Baoqing out of the palace, he might not be alive today. I have only gratitude towards the emperor, and I dare not resent him in the slightest."
