Chapter 201 Yixiu. 41
"It's hard for you to come here every day. You are still young and should spend more time on the prince." Yixiu said a few words casually, and then continued to look at the book in her hand.
Song Qiuyun shook her head slightly: "I have seen it clearly. Although the prince seems to have feelings for the wife of the main courtyard, doesn't he still have to go to other people every day?"
"We are trying our best to please the prince, because he controls our future honor and disgrace." Song Qiuyun looked up at Yixiu: "Fujin is in power now, I will serve you well, and I will be guaranteed in the future."
Song Qiuyun said this very sincerely. Yixiu smiled and said, "You are not afraid that I won't recognize you."
"No matter what, you let me in, didn't you, Fu Jin?"
At first glance, Song Qiuyun looked like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, she had a carefree aura that did not belong to the children of the backyard. Yixiu did not expose her, but just smiled and said, "Since you are willing to accompany me for fun, then I will definitely not let you be humiliated."
"But no matter how much more you get, only you can fight for it."
Song Qiuyun lowered her head and smiled slightly. Her biggest task was to be close to the concubine. Her honor, disgrace, status and position were not something that Prince Yong could decide.
Although she had to sacrifice her innocence for this mission, it was insignificant compared to the huge benefits it brought her.
In the autumn of the 47th year, Kangxi took the princes, ministers, and elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to Mulan Paddock for hunting. Yinzhen naturally went with them, but Yixiu was not feeling well, so Yinzhen took a few princesses with him. Rouze was not in good health, so she was also left behind.
But even though the matter had already been settled, Kangxi still secretly asked people to send a lot of things to Yixiu, most of which were passed on through Concubine De.
However, during this Mulan hunting trip, a huge conflict broke out between Kangxi and the crown prince. Counting the days, it was almost time to depose the crown prince.
On September 16, after returning to Beijing, Kangxi immediately announced to his ministers the dethronement of the crown prince, and personally wrote a sacrificial text. On the 18th, he offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, the Taimiao, and the state. After Yinreng was deposed, he was moved to Xian'an Palace and placed under house arrest.
On the 24th, Kangxi announced it to the world.
The dethronement of Yinreng undoubtedly gave great hope to the princes below him. What's more, the prince's power had been in Burhasutai since Kangxi had executed Gelfin and others, and most of the prince's cronies had been exiled and detained.
As the struggle for the throne intensified, Yinzhen spent less and less time in the backyard. The eldest prince Yinzhi was ambitious and actively planned for the position of crown prince.
But Kangxi was extremely disappointed. The prince whom he had trained with all his heart and soul was in his current state. In his mind, other people were even less trustworthy.
In the winter month, Yixiu entered the palace. All the servants in the Qianqing Palace were trembling with fear while doing their work, fearing that they would lose their heads if they were not careful.
During this period, Kangxi was in a very bad mood. From time to time, he would get angry while reviewing memorials in the palace. He would either issue an imperial edict to scold the person he disliked, or simply dismiss him from office and demote him.
It's been a hard time for everyone in the court these days.
When Wei Zhu saw Yi Xiu coming, she felt like she had seen a savior, and hoped that this master could persuade the Emperor!
"Fujin, please come with me."
Wei Zhu was trying to be nice, and told Yi Xiu, "Fujin, His Majesty has been in a bad mood these days. Please try to comfort Him. I am worried about you! His Majesty has not been eating or sleeping well these days, alas..."
Thousands of words turned into a sigh. He would only be fine if His Majesty was fine. These days, even he was scared! After serving every day, he was sweating all over. It was so tiring!
Yixiu nodded slightly: "Thank you, father-in-law."
"You are too polite, please follow me."
When Yixiu entered, Kangxi was working at his desk reviewing memorials. He had a gloomy aura, and just looking at him made people feel depressed.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan Zhao is here..."
Yixiu looked at him and bent her knees slightly: "Greetings to His Majesty."
Kangxi threw down the imperial calligraphy, walked to Yixiu, held her hand, and said with a forced smile: "Why are you here? I have been busy these days and I haven't seen you for a long time. You are also inconsiderate and don't know how to come to the palace to see me more often."
Yixiu followed his force and walked towards the east warm room. Wei Zhu knew that the Emperor had something to say to Yixiu, so he immediately called everyone down.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After the two of them sat down, Yixiu's eyes fell on his face and she whispered, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to laugh, then you don't have to laugh."
Kangxi lowered his eyes slightly, like a little boy, revealing a rare bit of vulnerability.
When he was under Oboi, he could carefully mediate and hit the target with one blow. The suppression of the White Lotus Sect and the pacification of the Three Feudatories did not make him feel so helpless.
Yixiu knew that Kangxi had originally appointed the crown prince for a political purpose, but since he had been keeping him by his side and teaching him for so many years, he had also thought about the reputation of the Holy Father and Holy Son.
But now Yinreng's behavior dealt him a heavy blow, and the behavior of several older princes made him even more heartbroken.
He sat high up and saw all their actions clearly. For a moment, he was not only chilled but also furious.
If he were older, I'm afraid these people would have been eager to dethrone him, their father!
The eldest, the third and the eighth brother have been too active these days. People who were not taken seriously before are now showing their abilities!
Kangxi sighed slightly, "These days, I always dream of the past. Yinreng was gentle and polite. Although he was a little proud because of my favor, he was the crown prince, so this little bit of pride was nothing."
"When the prince got married, he did everything well, but he has become more and more ridiculous over the years!"
Kangxi was furious, but more importantly, he was disappointed in his son.
Yixiu accompanied him quietly, but said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty is in good health, so there is no need to decide on the crown prince too early."
She looked at Kangxi and said, "I'm going to say something extremely treasonous. Once Your Majesty appoints a crown prince, he will only be targeted in the future."
Kangxi: "You are not afraid of discussing state affairs."
His voice was hoarse, and he reached out to pinch her chin, but there was no blame in his tone.
"It's just that I don't want His Majesty to be so anxious. To be honest, I don't care about anyone else except His Majesty."
Seeing that Yixiu valued him very much, Kangxi took a deep breath, and the joy of being valued by his sweetheart spread in his heart, reducing his anger and annoyance of the past few days.
He hugged Yixiu and said, "You finally came in, let's not talk about this anymore."
He had to think carefully about this kind of thing, but his ministers were all thinking about taking sides, humph! He, the emperor, was not dead yet!
Kangxi took a deep breath, pulled Yixiu and said, "Come on, I have something to show you."
