Chapter 206 Yixiu. 46
There seemed to be nothing fun to do on snowy days. Yixiu would practice calligraphy or play with the cat in the house from time to time, or she would write a few poems on a whim but never show them to anyone.
But Yixiu didn't know that every night a ghostly figure would sneak into her study, read what she wrote, and then copy it into the Qianqing Palace.
Yixiu didn't know about it at first, until before the New Year, she noticed that a small bookmark she had placed there had moved a little.
That's not her habit.
Yixiu frowned, doubts suddenly arose in her heart, Jianqiu shouldn't...
"Jianqiu, did you touch my bookmark?"
Yixiu's question was strange, and Jianqiu replied, "No, I know your habits. The things on the table have never been moved. Only the calligraphy you have written is put in there for safekeeping."
"Fujin, is there something wrong?"
Yixiu shook his head slightly. People in the courtyard would not go in easily, and if someone came in, they would not just touch this place.
She was suspicious...
Never mind. Now that I know, I'll just do it. Anyway, nothing she writes is unreadable.
"Nothing, you did a great job, don't move anything on the table."
"Yes, this slave knows."
Jianqiu helped her spread the paper and then stood aside to watch.
This year during the Spring Festival, Yixiu and Rouze accompanied Yinzhen into the palace. Kangxi seemed very unhappy during this period. Yixiu knew that he was worried about his sons.
Ever since the crown prince was deposed, several princes have been trying their best to perform.
In the court, the eldest and the eighth were even more social, and had close personal relationships with the court officials. They were all looking at him, didn't they know? They were all weighing it up! They only hoped that the master they followed would ascend to the throne in the future, so that they could also follow him and ask for the merit of following the dragon.
But their current actions are tantamount to disturbing Kangxi. Originally, he was anxious because of his old age, but now everyone is thinking about finding a new employer for themselves!
Therefore, during this period of time, Kangxi would scold those who made big moves from time to time, and those who he disliked would be demoted.
The eldest brother was imprisoned by Kangxi because he cursed Crown Prince Ren and attempted to seize the throne.
Moreover, Yinzhi was blinded by greed and even requested to kill Yinreng, saying: "If we want to kill Yinreng now, it doesn't have to be done by my father."
Kangxi repeatedly criticized Yinzhi, pointing out that he had the idea of killing his brother: he had no knowledge of the righteousness between the monarch and his subjects, and did not consider the deep affection between father and son, which was unacceptable under the laws of heaven and the country.
When Yinreng was imprisoned, he also clearly announced: "I previously ordered Prince Yinzhi to take good care of me, and I had no intention of making Yinzhi the crown prince. Yinzhi has an impatient and stubborn personality, how can he be made the crown prince?"
But he didn't expect Yinzhi to be so reckless, and he was angry for a long time!
And there is another person, the eighth prince Yinsi. It was because Yinzhi thought he had no hope of becoming the crown prince that he nominated the eighth prince to be the next crown prince.
As Yinzhi was imprisoned, Huifei also fell silent in the palace. Defei hid in the back, feeling frightened.
However, Kangxi beat and scolded Yinsi for having evil ambitions, and bluntly said that the other party was born to a lowly maid in the Xinzheku and had no morals to be the crown prince.
Kangxi took his anger out on Yinsi, stripping him of his Beile status and confining him in his palace.
This farce is still going on, and it will definitely get even more intense before the next heir is decided.
Kangxi was filled with impatience when looking at the recent situation, so although this year's New Year's Festival seemed lively, it was also much quieter than before.
After the banquet, Yinzhen and Rouze returned home first, while Yixiu was kept by Defei, who was actually Kangxi.
When Yixiu went in, she saw Kangxi leaning on the kang with a frown on his brow, reading a memorial. The wrinkles between his brows had never disappeared during this period.
Yixiu stepped forward and gently stroked his forehead, "Your Majesty has been working hard, I guess you haven't slept for a long time."
Kangxi held her hand, threw the memorial aside, and hugged her in his arms.
Yixiu did not refuse and let him hold her, while she leaned on him and looked down at the ring on his hand.
Kangxi let out a long sigh, and the two of them hugged each other in silence for a long time.
After a long while, Kangxi finally said, "I haven't felt very comfortable these days."
The commotion in the court was so serious that he didn't know how to punish them for a moment.
"Officials' lives and property are tied to this, so it's inevitable that they are a little concerned." Yixiu said lightly, not afraid of angering him, "But you are the emperor, and you have to make the decision yourself. But today is New Year's Eve, your Majesty, please have a good rest for a day."
Kangxi lowered his eyes, smiled and hugged her waist, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Although the woman in front of him pretended to be calm, Kangxi felt that she was very arrogant from the poems he saw in her study.
She is obviously thinking about me in private, but she refuses to leave Yinzhen. Isn't it because she is thinking about that kid Honghui?
But Kangxi didn't know what to do with her for a moment. It had been almost three years, and he could only see her once or twice a month.
Kangxi was extremely dissatisfied.
However, Yixiu refused to give in, and he was anxious but there was nothing he could do.
"I am not happy now, time flies by. All coming and going is fate."
"You are His Majesty, you are in charge of the whole world, so it is natural for you to have many worries. I don't have any ability, and I can't achieve great things like men." Yixiu took out a purse with tight stitching, "Your Majesty, please show it to the imperial physician. There is a purse inside to calm your mind. Putting it on the bedside will help Your Majesty sleep better."
Kangxi put it away. He naturally knew that Yixiu made it with Song Qiuyun. The other party did not hide it and only said that she had not been sleeping well recently, so she made this purse.
The medicine was also personally checked by the court physician. Kangxi smiled and said, "Why are there only auspicious clouds embroidered on the purse? Why not a few roses?"
Kangxi's thoughts were obvious. Yixiu glared at him and muttered, "If Your Majesty is not happy, then take it back. I would have given it to you, but Your Majesty is so picky that I won't be happy to give it to you in the future."
Seeing her reaching out to grab it, Kangxi quickly put it away, "Hey! Since you gave it to me, you are not allowed to take it away. I like your kindness."
Kangxi handed it to Wei Zhu and said, "Take it to my bedside and keep it safe."
Kangxi held Yixiu's hand and talked for a long time in the Winter Warm Pavilion. After midnight, Kangxi looked at Yixiu, who was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, and smiled and picked her up.
She was startled, "Long live the Lord!"
This old man, has he forgotten how old he is? He's not afraid of falling!
She hugged Kangxi's neck tightly, fearing that she would fall and be disfigured.
Kangxi snorted and looked at her, "Why, are you afraid that I will throw you? Don't worry, I'm not that useless yet."
He carried the man into the bedroom. Yixiu watched Kangxi take off his outer clothes, and she also took off her clothes under Jianqiu's help, "Come quickly."
Kangxi was already waiting. Yixiu looked at him, walked over to him and lay down.
"Go to sleep, I won't do anything."
Kangxi sighed slightly. He didn't want to force her...
