In the study of Xinghuachun Pavilion, Yinzhen handled his official business conscientiously. Although he did not go to court, he had a lot of things to deal with every day.
The experimental results of the insect extermination methods that Su Mianmian mentioned before have also come out. He is currently compiling them and writing them into a memorial to present to Khan Ama.
Su Mianmian was detained in the study by him, practicing calligraphy with a copybook.
That copybook was the Thousand Character Classic written by him personally.
Ever since Su Mianmian's importance in his heart changed, he no longer wanted her to be illiterate.
Su Mianmian didn't like studying. She acted like a spoiled child to Yinzhen, "Master, I'm stupid and I only know how to farm. I can't learn poetry or songs."
Yinzhen scratched Su Mianmian's nose and said, "I don't expect you to take the imperial examination, I just want you to learn to read. Don't be afraid. Farming is so difficult that you can do it well. Learning to read won't be a problem for you."
Yinzhen coaxed Su Mianmian to come to the study, and then taught her to read the Thousand Character Classic, the universe is vast and boundless...
Although Su Mianmian was reluctant, she still followed along and recited, "The sun and the moon wax and wane, the stars are lined up. Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores..."
Yinzhen was very happy to see that she was so well-behaved, so he personally took the pen and patiently taught her how to write.
Every stroke reveals Yinzhen's gentleness and patience.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was noon.
Su Mianmian's stomach growled. Although she was shy, she was very happy. "Master, I'm hungry. Let's eat first!"
Yinzhen saw her impatience but did not point it out. Su Mianmian was very smart and could read fluently, but she could not write many words.
He was satisfied in his heart, but said nothing and just let her go to have her meal.
After the meal, Yinzhen did not force Su Mianmian to write, but asked her to read the Thousand Character Classic over and over again until she could recite it by heart.
Su Mianmian was reluctant at first, but later she gradually became immersed in it and experienced the joy of knowledge.
Seeing that she was concentrating on her studies, Yinzhen also spread out a piece of paper and wrote the Thousand Character Classic on the paper stroke by stroke, making a copybook for Su Mianmian to practice calligraphy.
Later, this became an activity for the two of them, with Yinzhen working while Su Mianmian practiced calligraphy.
After Yinzhen finished his official business, he taught her how to read and write.
Su Mianmian was not shy about her talents, and her intelligence made Yinzhen more and more addicted to her teaching.
The feelings between the two grew deeper and deeper, as if they had forgotten the troubles of the world and became a pair of immortal lovers in the Xinghuachun Pavilion.
Yinzhen and Su Mianmian planted sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in Xinghuachun Pavilion.
Ever since Su Mianmian told him about Yang Liu, Yinzhen began to think about finding them.
Now I have finally planted these three things in the fields.
As an assistant, Su Mianmian took detailed notes.
She can write a lot now, so keeping records is no problem for her.
Besides, if she encountered a word she couldn't write, she could ask Yinzhen, so she was not afraid at all.
Every day she happily followed Yinzhen to farm and take records, not afraid of getting her face sunburned or tanned.
During the meal, Su Mianmian talked incessantly about her records, and two out of three sentences were praising Yinzhen, either saying that he had a far-sighted vision and cared about the people, or praising his heroic farming style.
Although Yinzhen didn't say it, he was very happy in his heart because of her praise, and he never stopped giving rewards to Su Mianmian.
Later, when the fields were planted, Su Mianmian's belly could no longer be hidden.
At first, Yinzhen thought Su Mianmian had gained weight until the baby in Su Mianmian's belly greeted him.
When Yinzhen thought about how Su Mianmian ran around in the fields with him while pregnant, and how they had never been restrained, his face darkened:
"You're just fooling around!"
Su Mianmian said aggrievedly: "Master, although I have my own difficulties, I really shouldn't have kept my pregnancy a secret from you. I was wrong."
Su Mianmian looked so pitiful that she couldn't stop crying. "It's normal for me to be angry. It's all my fault. If I had drunk a few more bowls of medicine, I wouldn't have made things so difficult for me."
Su Mianmian's tears fell after she finished speaking. Her beautiful face was wet with tears and her shoulders were shaking. "My master can punish me however he wants if he's angry, but can you let me give birth to the child? He's already moving..."
Su Mianmian's tears rolled down like beads, hitting the ground, but it seemed like they were hitting Yinzhen's heart.
Yinzhen was speechless after hearing Su Mianmian cry, and hugged her in his arms distressedly:
"What are you thinking about? When did I not ask you to give birth to the child?"
"Don't cry. I was angry because I was worried about my previous reckless behavior and was afraid of hurting the child. I don't mean to blame you."
Su Mianmian listened to Yinzhen's serious words and stopped crying, "My Lord really thinks so. He didn't blame me or lie to me."
Yinzhen was softened by her crying and repeated his words again. Only then did Su Mianmian burst into laughter:
"You are so nice, I like you!"
Su Mianmian's sweet words made Yinzhen smile so happily that he couldn't utter a word of criticism. Thinking of Su Mianmian's age, he gave up the idea of educating her.
Never mind, he just needs to worry more about it in the future.
Yinzhen didn't know that Su Mianmian was pregnant before, but now that he knew, he naturally wanted to find a reliable imperial physician to take Su Mianmian's pulse.
The people he met in the Imperial Medical Bureau were low-key, but they were loyal to him, because they were the people left to him by Tong E'niang, and he would not easily use them.
At first, he was very capable in his job and became a thorn in the eyes of his brothers. In order to dispel their doubts, he made a big fuss about love affairs.
Until now, everyone thinks that he is still obsessed with Rouze.
Only he himself knows the real situation.
The imperial physician that Rouze had not been able to get him to use was now used on Mianmian.
If someone had told him that one day he would be like this, he would never have believed it. But now he has to admit that even a great hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.
He is just an ordinary person.
The imperial physician was secretly brought in by the secret guards at night.
It's just to conceal the truth.
With Yinzhen's company, Su Mianmian obediently let the imperial physician take her pulse.
Wang Tingyun is an old man in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but he is just a marginal person. He never shows off and is an imperial physician with a very low sense of presence.
But in fact, his medical skills were superb, far superior to his colleagues.
It's just that his master has asked him to keep a low profile for many years, and his medical skills have had no place to be used. Now his medical skills can finally see the light of day.
Wang Tingyun is indeed a doctor with superb medical skills. He knows Su Mianmian's physical condition clearly just by taking her pulse.
He congratulated Yinzhen with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master. Not only is the young master pregnant, but she is also pregnant with quadruplets."
Yinzhen stared at Su Mianmian's pregnant belly. He really didn't expect that such a big surprise was waiting for him.
"Really!" He had difficulty in having children. Although he had children, none of them lived long.
Wang Tingyun also knew Yinzhen's worries, and he smiled, "Master, don't worry, the young master and the young master are both healthy, there is no problem, just wait for the time to come, and the fruit will be ripe."
Wang Tingyun's words seemed like a reassurance, making Yinzhen really happy. He stared at Su Mianmian as if he was staring at a priceless treasure.
Su Peisheng welcomed Wang Tingyun out and wrote down a series of precautions in the side room.
Su Peisheng is a man of great potential. He can ask all the questions that Yinzhen is worried about without Yinzhen's presence.
For example, did Su Mianmian's farming during her pregnancy cause any harm to her body? Was there any hindrance?
For example, before they knew Su Mianmian was pregnant, the master and the master were very close. Was there any harm to Su Mianmian's body? Was there any hindrance?
As a doctor, Wang Tingyun knew all these things just by taking Su Peisheng's pulse and explained them clearly to him.
The central idea is that both the young master and the young lady are in good health, and the young master is in extremely good health. Pregnancy with twins will lead to premature birth, so all you need to do is be prepared.
After Su Peisheng heard Wang Tingyun's explanation, the secret guards quietly sent Wang Tingyun back. Su Peisheng went back to report to Yinzhen with a smile on his face.
Repeat Wang Tingyun's words verbatim, "Congratulations, Master, Congratulations, Young Lady!"
As soon as Su Peisheng opened his mouth, the palace maids in Xinghuachun Pavilion joined in congratulating him. Yinzhen was in a good mood and the rewards followed.
It was getting late, and he was afraid that Su Mianmian was tired, so he hugged him and went in to rest. They did nothing but hugged each other, and they were also very excited.
The two of them talked a lot and were both very happy.
Su Mianmian woke up and opened his eyes to see Yinzhen looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Master~" Su Mianmian felt shy when being stared at by Yinzhen and shyly avoided his gaze.
Yinzhen, however, kissed Su Mianmian again and again with tenderness in his heart, "Mianmian, thank you."
Yinzhen always felt that the reason he had few offspring was because he was cursed.
There is only the third prince in the palace now, and the rest is the daughter born to Lu Yingfeng.
He still has too few children, and the Third Prince is no longer very intelligent due to a high fever. Although he tries hard to behave well, he is really worried that he has no competitiveness in having offspring.
He worshipped Buddha all year round to suppress his evil nature, but the retribution still fell upon his descendants.
But Su Mianmian's pregnancy gave him hope.
Quadruplets, no one in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty had such a blessing.
Su Mianmian is now like Yinzhen's darling. As time goes by, more and more people come to Xinghuachun Pavilion. He finds three midwives and twelve wet nurses.
These were all carefully selected by Yinzhen, with absolutely clean family backgrounds, and they were his trump cards that he never revealed.
Su Mianmian's pregnancy is really important, and he doesn't want anything to happen to her.
Since ancient times, childbirth for women has been like going through the gates of hell. He couldn't suffer for Su Mianmian, so he could only pay more attention to these things.
Su Mianmian originally wanted to talk to Yinzhen about the child's ownership, but after thinking that it was not a good deal to ask for the child, she took the initiative to ask and Yinzhen took the initiative to give it to her, which was different.
She wanted to see how much Yinzhen really cared about her. If Yinzhen satisfied her, she would continue to be with him. If Yinzhen did not satisfy her, she would find someone else to have children with in the future.
Yinzhen never mentioned the issue of the child's ownership, nor did he talk to Su Mianmian about the status, and Su Mianmian didn't mention it either.
Nanny Yang was quite angry, her face was covered with blisters due to anxiety.
Su Mianmian felt sorry for her and begged for mercy for her. When Wang Tingyun came to take her pulse, she asked him to take Yang Ma's pulse as well. Now Yang Ma drinks anti-inflammatory medicine every day.
There are only a few days left before the due date that Wang Tingyun mentioned, and the issue of who will take care of the child has not been discussed yet. All the medicine that Nanny Yang gave her was in vain.
She was really worried about Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian knew what Nanny Yang was thinking, so she took the opportunity when Yinzhen went to the palace to report to Emperor Kangxi to comfort Nanny Yang.
Su Mianmian: "Madame Yang, don't worry about the child's affairs. As the saying goes, things will work out when the time comes. Just listen to the master's arrangements. He is the child's father and will definitely give the child the best."
Nanny Yang is not only worried about the child, she is also worried about Su Mianmian.
Madam Yang: "My young lady, the child is the master's biological child, and the master will certainly make the best arrangements, but what about you, my young lady? You have no status at all now. If the child is born and the master gives the child to someone else for adoption, what will you do, my young lady!"
Su Mianmian's eyes were slightly red. "Mammy, please don't say that to make me sad. I am of low status, and it is my blessing to be able to give birth to a child for the master. How can I force for a status?"
Madam Yang shed tears: "Young Master is too sensible."
Su Mianmian's eyes were red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall. When she saw Nanny Yang crying, she comforted her and wiped her tears.
Su Mianmian: "Madam, don't cry. You might hurt your eyes. The doctor said the due date is in the next few days. I haven't finished making the little gown for the baby yet. Can you help me and see if I made it right?"
Although Yinzhen went to report on his work, there were still many people left in Xinghuachun Pavilion. He knew everything Su Mianmian and Yang Ma said without missing a word.
Yinzhen felt sorry for Su Mianmian's understanding, and also secretly blamed himself for being too careless. Why didn't he tell Mianmian about his plan earlier, leaving her sad while pregnant?
Thinking of the imperial edict he had obtained from Khan Ama, Yinzhen's heart was burning with excitement and he wished he could return to Xinghuachun Pavilion immediately.
After Yinzhen left, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but mutter to Li Dequan:
"Go check who is causing the fourth child so much trouble... Never mind, he's grown up now and finally has someone he likes, so let's not make things worse."
Li Dequan listened quietly throughout the whole process without saying a word.
The Emperor is muttering to his own son, so as a servant, he should not be so ignorant as to follow him.
Yinzhen came back and showed Su Mianmian the imperial edict granting her the title of concubine.
Yinzhen: "You are in poor health now, so the matter of enthronement will be kept secret for now. Everything will be discussed after you give birth to the child and recover."
"When you recover, I will give you a wedding and marry you in a grand ceremony!"
Su Mianmian could recognize a lot of words now, and she knew all the compliments given to her in the imperial edict.
Su Mianmian said shyly: "How can I be as good as the imperial edict says."
Yinzhen said seriously: "You are so good in my heart. Khan Ama also knows that you are pregnant. This matter cannot be concealed."
Su Mianmian nodded sensibly. After all, Yinzhen suddenly asked for a marriage, and what he asked for was the position of concubine. Emperor Kangxi would definitely ask for clarification.
There was a reason why Emperor Kangxi agreed to Yinzhen's request to marry a concubine.
First, Yinzhen had too few children, and the only one was the third prince, who was of no use at all.
Second, Su Mianmian was pregnant with quadruplets. Such a blessed person should be given a status even if she was a palace maid of low status.
Third, Su Mianmian was just an ordinary palace maid, and Yinzhen did not gain any benefits from marriage. This was enough to show that Yinzhen really had no intention of competing for the throne. Emperor Kangxi was satisfied and naturally happy to fulfill the wishes of his sensible son Yinzhen.
Since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Emperor Kangxi was first an emperor and then a Khan.
He liked his sons to be talented in both civil and military affairs, and to have great potential, but he did not like his sons to covet his throne.
Yinzhen's behavior of being a loyal subject and not competing with others was exactly what he wanted.
The imperial edict has been issued, although it is kept secret, but Su Mianmian's status as a concubine is set in stone and will not be changed.
Nanny Yang was so happy that she immediately stopped being angry and was overjoyed.
Xiancao and Ruicao were also very excited, and even the father-in-law, led by Yang Huai, were as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
Su Peisheng even warned them a few times, fearing that they would become too arrogant.
Now is a critical moment. Although the master's request for the imperial edict is secret, there is no guarantee that there will not be people with sharp ears and eyes who hear the news.
If this gets to the ears of the master's political enemies, it will probably cause a stir.
Su Mianmian was worry-free and had no idea that the security at Xinghuachun Pavilion had become tighter. Even the midwife and the wet nurse were carefully screened again.
Every day, secret guards monitored their every move and reported to Yinzhen on time.
Yinzhen still thinks that the reason he has few offspring is because his political enemies infiltrated his backyard and made some moves.
He didn't think the problem was with the women in the backyard at all. In his opinion, women only cared about the passing of time and were jealous, and would never dare to harm his offspring.
All we can say is that Yinzhen was a person who was not well-informed, and it was not unfair that he had few offspring.
Now that Su Mianmian is pregnant with quadruplets, she has made it clear to Emperor Kangxi, who has said that nothing can happen to Su Mianmian's stomach.
After all, Xinghuachun Pavilion was not like a royal palace, and he was afraid that someone would take advantage of it, so he guarded it very tightly.
In the palace, Yixiu smashed her favorite teacup in anger.
She asked Jianqiu with a gloomy face: "Until now, you still haven't found out who the master is hiding in the Old Summer Palace!"
Jianqiu respectfully calmed Yixiu down and picked up the broken teacup carefully:
Jian Qiu: "Fujin, don't get angry and hurt yourself. We have too few people left in the Old Summer Palace, and they are all in inconspicuous places. It is possible that we cannot find out the truth in a short time. Give them some time, and there will be news."
When Yixiu thought about the fact that Yinzhen had hidden a concubine in the Old Summer Palace, her heart felt like it was on fire. She would not allow anyone beyond her understanding to occupy Yinzhen's heart!
No matter how many people appear around Yinzhen, she must know them clearly.
She wants to keep all those women under control and will never let them cause any trouble!
But now, she has lost control. Yinzhen has a concubine in the Old Summer Palace, and she doesn't even know her name.
If her aunt had not told her the news that Yinzhen had asked Emperor Kangxi for a marriage, she would still be kept in the dark!
Yixiu had a headache, so she sent someone to tell Yinzhen that she wanted to take advantage of Yinzhen's return to have someone thoroughly investigate the Old Summer Palace.
But her message fell on deaf ears, Yinzhen did not come back, he only sent a message asking her to summon the imperial physician.
Yixiu was so angry that she wanted to tear the beautiful girl hidden in the Old Summer Palace into pieces. Her headache became more serious and she really couldn't get out of bed.
However, at this moment, Yinzhen really couldn't take care of Yixiu because Su Mianmian was about to give birth.
Su Mianmian felt that she was about to give birth, but she remained calm and ate her meal without making any noise. She also asked the fairy herbs and auspicious herbs to help her bathe and change clothes.
Afterwards, he told Nanny Yang to check the delivery room and boil water for preparation.
This was what Nanny Yang did every day, and she did it without any suspicion until Su Mianmian took a bath, changed into clean underwear, came to the delivery room and said, "I'm giving birth."
Nanny Yang started to panic.
This was the first time in all her life that Nanny Yang had seen such a calm pregnant woman.
Su Mianmian is a rabbit spirit and has a cheat. Before entering the delivery room, she took the painless delivery pill that she won in a lottery.
Giving birth was not scary at all for her, not only that, she didn't even feel any pain.
There is only a sense of security that everything is ripe.
But all her behaviors were interpreted differently by Yang Ma, who thought Su Mianmian was really strong.
Yinzhen didn't expect that while he was handling official business, Su Mianmian was about to give birth.
Ever since Su Mianmian became pregnant, he became a good father and read the Four Books and Five Classics to the baby in Su Mianmian's belly every day.
Often when he was reading seriously, Su Mianmian would fall asleep.
The baby in the belly was very considerate and moved around in Su Mianmian's belly, very active.
When people spend a long time together, their feelings naturally deepen. The baby Su Mianmian is carrying can be said to be the dawn of hope in his despair. Naturally, he cares about it very much. He spends more time on it, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.
He was afraid of missing Su Mianmian's delivery, so he still missed it a little despite his haste. However, he was not too late.
When he arrived, three midwives had just entered the delivery room.
He knew that giving birth for a woman was like going through the gates of hell. He was worried about Su Mianmian and tried to go to the delivery room several times, but was stopped by Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng: "Master, the delivery room is a filthy place, you must not enter it. If you are really worried about the young lady, just talk to her outside."
Yinzhen knew that Su Peisheng was right, but he became anxious because he couldn't hear any movement from Su Mianmian.
Yinzhen: "Don't be afraid, Mianmian. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay outside with you."
Su Mianmian bit the cork and listened to the midwife's words and breathing. Nanny Yang stayed in the delivery room, watching the midwife's every move.
Xiancao and Ruicao also stayed in the kitchen, fearing that someone might take advantage of the situation.
Yinzhen walked back and forth outside the delivery room, unable to stop for a moment, he was very panicked.
Su Mianmian was blessed. She gave birth to children very quickly. All four children were born in less than an hour.
Nanny Yang looked after Su Mianmian and cleaned up for her.
The midwife came out holding the baby and announced the good news:
"Congratulations, sir. Both mother and child are safe. The young lady has given birth to four little princes."
When the children were brought out, Wang Tingyun went forward early to check the pulses of the four little princes with a smile on his face.
Wang Tingyun: "Master, rest assured, although the four little princes are small in size, they are in good health."
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, left the four little princes in the care of Su Peisheng, and took Wang Tingyun into the delivery room.
He personally carried Su Mianmian back to their bedroom, and gently settled her down before letting Wang Tingyun go forward to take Su Mianmian's pulse.
Wang Tingyun: "Master, rest assured. The young master is in good health. She is just a little tired. She will recover in two months."
Only after he was sure that Su Mianmian was really fine did Yinzhen feel completely relieved.
Wang Tingyun had something hidden in his heart. He had seen so many patients, and Su Mianmian was the strongest one among them.
Normally, at this age, and pregnant with quadruplets, this shouldn't have happened. Maybe it was a gift from God.
After Wang Tingyun left, only Su Mianmian and Yinzhen were left in the bedroom. Su Mianmian had just given birth to a child, and her lips were very pale. Yinzhen felt sorry for her and said many private words to her.
Seeing that Yinzhen's forehead was covered with sweat, Su Mianmian spoke gently, "Are you scared? I didn't expect the child to be so impatient."
Yinzhen nodded. He was indeed scared, but he was more worried about Su Mianmian.
Yinzhen seemed to open up and chattered to Su Mianmian, mostly about how the quadruplets were a good omen and that the right to name them might be taken away by Khan Ama, but they could give the children nicknames and so on.
Yinzhen even began to fantasize about teaching them to read and write, ride horses and shoot arrows, and farm in the fields.
Su Mianmian's eyelids drooped as she listened and she fell asleep.
Yinzhen gradually stopped talking and kept staring at the sleeping Su Mianmian. It took him a long time to come out of the bedroom.
The quadruplets were born safely, and it was time to go and tell Khan Ama the good news.
Emperor Kangxi was very pleased to see the quadruplets and immediately gave them names.
Emperor Kangxi: "The fourth prince Hongsheng, the fifth prince Hongyu, the sixth prince Hongxu, and the seventh prince Hongxi."
Emperor Kangxi wrote the names of the four little princes on the imperial edict, and Yinzhen accepted it respectfully.
After Emperor Kangxi gave the quadruplets their names, he showed some fondness for them and then let Yinzhen go.
As soon as Yinzhen left the palace, many people with spies received the news.
Yixiu also received the exact news, and her headache flared up again due to anger.
Yixiu: "Jianqiu, how can you be so lucky? Quadruplets, quadruplets, and even got a clear pass from the emperor..."
"Oh my God, this is so unfair! Why, why doesn't my Honghui have such a good life!"
"Why!"
Su Mianmian didn't have to worry about anything. Yinzhen was in charge of the arrangements for the quadruplets' third birthday and full moon celebrations. They did not go back to the palace to hold the ceremonies, but instead held the full moon banquet directly at Yaotai, Pengdao.
Pengdao Yaotai is a scenic spot in the Old Summer Palace, located to the east of Jiuzhou Qingyan.
The island has exquisite buildings, including pavilions, towers, rockery, streams and other landscapes.
Su Mianmian did not interfere whether it was the third day bath or the full moon. Yinzhen felt sorry for her and felt tired from giving birth to four children, so he kept her in the Xinghuachun Pavilion to recuperate after giving birth.
Su Mianmian was also happy to have some free time. The more Yinzhen gave to the child, the harder it was for him to let go.
Even if she does nothing for the children, they will still be on the same page with her, because she has a cheat, a loyalty talisman for each of the four children.
No matter who raises the child, don't think about making the child estranged from her biological mother.
Yinzhen suddenly had quadruplets, four princes, which made his brothers very angry.
They all wanted to see who was capable enough to give birth to four princes for Yinzhen at once.
However, the ones who came with the child were Nanny Yang and Nanny Nai.
Yinzhen was reluctant to let Su Mianmian show up in front of these people while she was in confinement, so whose responsibility was it to blow the wind?
Besides, he is going to marry Su Mianmian in a few days, so he has plenty of time to meet these people.
Although everyone didn't see Su Mianmian, it was rare enough to see the healthy quadruplets.
The Ninth Prince wanted to talk nonsense several times, but it was the Eighth Prince who stopped him.
The Eighth Prince was originally on par with Yinzhen in terms of offspring, but now he has been surpassed by Yinzhen.
He was a little unhappy, but it was of no use.
Li Dequan came on behalf of Emperor Kangxi to present the full-month gifts, not only for the four children, but also for Su Mianmian, the biological mother of the child.
Yinzhen stared at the four children without blinking, and without letting those people look at them for long, he let Nanny Yang take the children away.
Everyone also knew that Yinzhen was happy, and they said nice things to him one after another.
In the palace, Yixiu was sick again. To be exact, her headache had not been cured since she knew that her four children were safe and healthy.
However, Yinzhen's whole mind was on the Xinghuachun Pavilion, on Su Mianmian and the four children, and he had forgotten everything in the palace.
Yixiu was unwilling to accept this. Ever since Honghui passed away, she couldn't bear to see other women give birth to healthy children.
She wanted to take action against Su Mianmian and the quadruplets, but Yinzhen intervened and protected Su Mianmian and her son very well, so she had no chance.
Although she is the niece of Concubine De Uya, the outcome of the current situation is uncertain and Concubine De Uya's heart is on the Fourteenth Prince. As for Yixiu, as long as she is still the Concubine, she will not interfere too much.
It was in vain for Yixiu to ask Defei Uya for help.
She had no choice but to go to the Buddhist temple every day to ask the gods and Buddhas to help her relieve her current suffering.
At the Mid-Autumn family dinner, Yinzhen reluctantly returned to the palace from Xinghuachun Pavilion, had a meal with the women in the backyard of the palace, gave gifts to the third prince and his daughter born to Lu Yingfeng, said a few words of encouragement, and ended the family dinner, and took Yixiu to the palace for the banquet.
Yinzhen and Yixiu rode in the same carriage, but neither of them spoke.
Yixiu wanted to speak, but since Yinzhen didn't say anything, she didn't dare to speak rashly.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to arrange the marriage of Su Mianmian and Yinzhen.
Although Yinzhen was busy with official duties and could not do everything personally, he was very concerned about the matter. Su Peisheng communicated with him tirelessly, and even Jiuzhou Qingyan was decorated festively.
Yinzhen promised Su Mianmian that he would welcome her home in a grand ceremony after she recovered, and he really did so, making serious preparations from beginning to end.
Originally, the wedding was to be held in the palace, but Su Mianmian was impatient to deal with the women in the backyard of the palace, so Yinzhen followed her and held the wedding ceremony directly in Jiuzhou Qingyan.
Yinzhen's brothers had long wanted to see who Su Mianmian was.
Those who were sharp-eyed and sharp-eared had actually found out Su Mianmian's background. They just wanted to see what it would be like for someone to give birth to quadruplets at once and allow Yinzhen to surpass him in terms of offspring.
Su Mianmian was very well taken care of, and you couldn't tell at all that she had given birth to four children. Although she was covered with a veil and her face couldn't be seen the entire time, her slim figure made it easy to imagine what a stunning beauty she was.
Yinzhen loved Su Mianmian so the wedding was obviously beyond the rules, but they had the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi granting the marriage, so even if it was a slap in the face, it was on Fu Jin, so no one said anything.
If Su Mianmian had not had any parents or relatives to rely on, Yinzhen would have wanted to have a sedan chair carried by eight people and circle the city three times before entering the house.
Yinzhen was extremely biased and overstepped the boundaries. Su Mianmian's wedding dress was bright red, a color that only concubines could wear. Not only that, he also asked Emperor Kangxi for permission to grant Su Mianmian a title because of her contribution in giving birth to quadruplets. It can be said that his actions not only trampled on Concubine Yixiu, but also trampled on her three times.
But for some unknown reason, Emperor Kangxi actually agreed. On the day when Yinzhen and Su Mianmian got married, the imperial edict conferring Su Mianmian's title came along with the wedding.
From now on, Su Mianmian is Mrs. Xi.
The imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi brought the wedding to a climax. As a result, everyone began to speculate whether the woman Yinzhen married was an ordinary palace maid. Was it a deliberate confusion in order to keep a low profile?
If she was really just a palace maid with an obscure family background, Emperor Kangxi was not crazy, so why did he give her such respect?
They originally thought that it was a repeat of Rouze's incident, another romantic affair of Yinzhen.
It doesn't look like that at all now.
Emperor Kangxi was certainly not crazy. The reason why he gave Su Mianmian such respect was closely related to the memorial submitted by Yinzhen.
The previous matters concerning pest control and sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn were all written down verbatim by Yinzhen in the memorial.
To put it bluntly, he put Su Mianmian's contributions in front of Emperor Kangxi.
With all these things happening one by one, plus Su Mianmian's contribution in giving birth to a child, shouldn't Emperor Kangxi express his gratitude?
Su Mianmian didn't know what was going on and just thought that all this was Yinzhen's fault.
Su Mianmian felt that if a person really protected you, he would naturally not let you suffer any grievances.
Yinzhen also thought so. He couldn't bear to see Su Mianmian suffer any injustice.
Thinking that Su Mianmian had no one to rely on except him, he couldn't help but want to give her all the good things.
For the people of the Aisin-Gioro family, those they love want them to live and those they hate want them to die.
Yinzhen loves Su Mianmian again and respects her, even though doing so will embarrass Yixiu.
Yixiu was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed. She wanted to complain to her aunt, Concubine De, but the imperial edict was issued by Emperor Kangxi, and all the violations were tacitly approved by Emperor Kangxi. If she really went into the palace to gossip and make Emperor Kangxi unhappy, even her aunt would not stand on her side.
Even though Yixiu was unwilling, she had to swallow her anger.
After the lively wedding banquet, everyone had their own concerns.
The eighth prince has deeper plans. He now wishes that all the women in the backyard would be pregnant so that he can have more offspring than Yinzhen.
The Ninth Prince had always been at odds with Yinzhen, and couldn't help but mutter to the Eighth Prince, "As expected of him being Queen Tong's adopted son, he is a half-legitimate son after all, so his status in Khan Ama's heart is different!"
"On the surface, he doesn't fight or compete, but in fact, he is more cunning than anyone else!"
Yinzhen was used to being serious with his younger brothers. Moreover, when Empress Tong was alive, he was the most favored prince by Emperor Kangxi among his brothers except for the crown prince, which made the other princes dissatisfied.
When Queen Tong was gone, his biological mother was also Khan's favorite concubine, and he always did a great job in assigning tasks to Yinzhen, which made the remaining princes seem even more ineffective.
Therefore, Yinzhen has always been a powerful rival in the hearts of his younger brothers.
The most important thing is that the crown prince was deposed, and Yinzhen was the only prince who supported the crown prince's restoration. If it were not for him, the eighth prince would definitely have been named the heir.
Most of the Eight Princes' Party thought this way, and the Ninth Prince thought even more so, so he couldn't bear to see Yinzhen living a good life.
Yinzhen didn't care about his brothers' jealousy as he was busy with his wedding night.
This was not his first wedding, but it was his most exciting one.
Because the person in front of him is the one he wants to marry from the bottom of his heart.
When he married Rouze, he had an affair with her, and it was all intentional. Everyone said that he was blinded by lust.
He married Rouze for two reasons: one was to dispel the suspicion of Khan Ama, the Crown Prince, and his brothers towards him, and to avoid becoming a target of conflict.
The second reason was to create some evidence to show his weakness. If he remained innocent, not only the other princes and brothers, but even the Khan would suspect that he had rebellious intentions.
The third is that he can tie Ulanara to his boat completely, and marry Rouze, so that both of them can feel at ease.
Although it achieves three goals at once, it is not pure after all.
So he was not very excited about his wedding with Rouze.
Later, Rouze died of illness and Yixiu was promoted to concubine, but he did not feel any excitement.
Su Mianmian is different. This marriage is what he has been longing for.
After Su Mianmian gave birth to the child, the system added the remaining thirty-five years of her life to her. Not only that, her luck also improved a lot.
In the past, we always held a lottery to thank our customers for their patronage, and it was very difficult to collect all the loyalty symbols for the four children.
After giving birth to the child, she had saved up ten loyalty talismans. Not only that, she also won good things like the Recovery Pill.
After she took the recovery pill, all the weakness caused by childbirth disappeared.
She became a lively rabbit again. Although she was detained in Xinghuachun Pavilion for her confinement, she was very happy.
She originally thought that Yinzhen's wedding with her was just a place for some fun, but she didn't expect that everything would be different from what she expected.
Matron Yang: "The young lady's wedding dress is more noble than the one worn by the first wife. The red wedding dress is not a color that a concubine can wear. The master really loves the young lady."
Su Mianmian naturally knew that her wedding was truly lively and noble, not to mention that Emperor Kangxi had given her a title, which was unique and respectable. From now on, it would not be in vain for her to meet the wife of the Emperor.
Seeing Yinzhen like this, Su Mianmian couldn't help but feel dazed, thinking: If he could always be like this, she would not find another father for her remaining children.
After the wedding wine, they got married. Yinzhen took a lock of hair with great care, tied it into a knot with Su Mianmian's lock of hair, cut it off, and kept it with great care.
The dragon and phoenix candles burned until dawn.
Although Su Mianmian had the mission of having a child, she didn't want to get pregnant again so soon, so she took the contraceptive pill she drew, which was effective for one year.
After Yinzhen married Su Mianmian, he asked her if she was willing to return to the palace, and he would arrange the largest and most luxurious courtyard for her.
Su Mianmian wanted to refuse. She was impatient to deal with the beautiful girls in the palace.
She is just a simple-minded rabbit, and she is no match for anyone who really wants to play tricks on her.
Su Mianmian: "I will obey you."
Yinzhen thought about the beautiful girls in his palace and suddenly didn't want to let Su Mianmian go.
Even if the palace was the best place for Mianmian to live in, it would not be as comfortable and happy as here.
Besides, the four children are still young. If they were hurt by other people, he would regret it to death.
Also, he had become accustomed to living a quiet life with Su Mianmian every day, and he was extremely reluctant to go back to the palace and face those jealous and vulgar women.
Yixiu originally thought that things at the wedding had reached their limit. She thought that no matter what happened to Su Mianmian, she would eventually have to return to the backyard of the palace, and by that time, it would be beyond her control whether it was good or bad.
Little did she know that she waited for several days, until the Golden Award Festival was almost over, but Su Mianmian still didn't come back to the palace.
The women in the backyard of the palace have become Buddhists now, and they think more clearly than Yixiu.
Mrs. Xi has won my heart. I'm afraid you won't be able to get my favor from now on.
They are just concubines, so let the wife deal with all the worries and annoyances herself.
On October 13th, the Golden Festival is awarded to the prince, his wife, concubine, royal family members, and ministers all going to the palace to celebrate the festival.
Yinzhen did not go to the palace to pick up Yixiu, but asked Su Peisheng to go to the palace to pass on the message, asking Yixiu to go first and they would meet at the palace later.
Not to mention that Yixiu was so angry that he had a headache on the spot and had to rely on Jianqiu's support to stand steadily.
Just because Su Mianmian appeared in public for the first time as Xi Fujin, Yinzhen felt uneasy.
What's more, the four children also had to go to the palace to pay homage to the Royal Madam and the Royal Mistress. No matter whether it was the third day's bath, the full moon or the hundredth day's birthday, Yinzhen would make a grand ceremony, which was full of hatred. But there was nothing he could do, he was just happy, and no one could stop his happiness.
Emperor Kangxi was also very considerate and gave piles of gifts no matter whether it was the third day of the baby's birth, the full moon or the hundredth day.
It was obvious to everyone inside and outside the palace that the quadruplets of Prince Yong's family had an appointment with Emperor Kangxi. If anyone dared to lay their hands on them, they would be living a miserable life.
Being high-profile also has its advantages. To this day, the quadruplets are safe and sound and everything goes smoothly for them.
The quadruplets were a sign of good fortune signed and sealed by Emperor Kangxi. Who would dare to touch such a sign?
Yixiu endured the discomfort and watched Yinzhen help Su Mianmian out of the carriage as if she were a treasure, and then the four wet nurses each held a child.
Compared to Jianqiu's company on her side, Su Mianmian's place was really lively and bustling.
This was also the first time that Su Mianmian saw Yixiu in person. She had drawn fragments before and knew about her existence, but this was the first time she saw her so clearly.
Yixiu was still waiting for Su Mianmian to salute her as a sign of respect, but Yinzhen directly told them to hurry into the palace and not to make Khan Ama and Empress Dowager wait anxiously.
Yixiu was so angry that she almost fainted, but there was nothing she could do.
Logically, Yinzhen should go to pay a visit to Emperor Kangxi first, and let Yixiu and Su Mianmian go to pay a visit to Empress Defei.
But Yinzhen was still worried, so he changed his schedule and followed Yixiu and others to pay a visit to Concubine De.
Yixiu originally wanted to flatter Su Mianmian in front of her aunt, Concubine De, but Yinzhen followed her and she couldn't carry out all her plans.
Concubine De had also heard of Su Mianmian and knew that Yinzhen cared about her. She thought that she was at most on par with Rouze, but when she actually saw what Yinzhen did, she had a new opinion of Su Mianmian.
Yixiu was waiting for Su Mianmian to make a fool of herself during the ceremony, but Su Mianmian did not make any mistakes at all. Her whole demeanor and grace did not seem like that of a palace maid at all.
You can also say that she is a lady from a noble family.
When Yixiu and the others arrived, the Fourteenth Lady was already in front of Concubine De. Her eyes turned from Yixiu to Su Mianmian.
Attracted by Su Mianmian's beauty, he stared at her without blinking.
The Fourteenth Prince's wife, Wanyan, was a lively person. She had always disliked the rigid and rule-abiding Yixiu and thought she was pretentious.
The relationship between the two people is not friendly.
As for Su Mianmian, she had wanted to meet her for a long time. She liked talking to beautiful people, and looking at beautiful people would make her feel good.
Moreover, Su Mianmian's temperament was gentle and clear, which made her like her and attracted to her unconsciously.
So she unconsciously cast her eyes on Su Mianmian, and smiled as she saluted.
Although Concubine De didn't like Su Mianmian, she still loved her four grandsons. Not only that, she also deliberately let Wanyan get close to the four children just to make Wanyan happy.
Seeing that Su Mianmian had adapted well, Yinzhen felt at ease taking the four children to meet Emperor Kangxi.
For this Golden Award Ceremony, Emperor Kangxi specifically instructed that he must bring his children to the banquet.
After Yinzhen left with the child, the atmosphere suddenly became much quieter. Su Mianmian pretended not to know and continued chatting and laughing with Wanyan.
She didn't care at all about Concubine De's neglect of her.
Wanyan was also a smart person. Knowing that Concubine De had something to say to Concubine Yixiu, she took Su Mianmian out to stroll in the garden.
Wanyan: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, let me tell you, although the garden here is small, there are many beautiful flowers. I will take you to see it, I guarantee you will like it."
Su Mianmian left obediently, and suddenly only Concubine De and Concubine Yixiu were left in the room.
No one knows what Concubine De said to Yixiu. Outsiders only know that Yixiu fell ill after leaving the palace.
During the Golden Festival, Su Mianmian established a good relationship with Wanyan clan.
Wanyan and Su Mianmian agreed that they would go to Yuanmingyuan to visit Su Mianmian and the four little princes after the Golden Award Festival.
Su Mianmian knew that Yinzhen did not have a good relationship with his half-brother Yinzhi.
Yinzhen didn't like Yinzhen who always scolded him with a stern face. He liked the Eighth Prince who was a gentleman and gentle.
But this did not prevent her from being on good terms with the Wanyan clan.
She likes Wanyan, and this is a relationship between her and Wanyan. Those stinky men have no right to interfere.
Yinzhen didn't expect that the first person to make friends with Su Mianmian would be Wanyan.
After all, his younger brother has always been closer to his eighth and ninth brothers, and he would probably advise Wanyan to stay away from them.
He felt that Wanyan might not be able to keep the appointment. After all, his younger brother was very childish and could not tell good from bad.
Yinzhen had some concerns in his mind, but he did not discourage Su Mianmian's enthusiasm. He was very happy that Su Mianmian could make more friends. He couldn't always stay in the Xinghuachun Pavilion to grow crops.
Yinzhen did oppose Wanyan's relationship with Su Mianmian, but his opposition was ineffective.
Wanyan: "Sir, can you please stop interfering with who I make friends with? Do I have to date the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Concubines?"
Yinzhen frowned, "This is natural. I am on good terms with my eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers. As my wife, you should be on good terms with their wives. Do I need to tell you such a simple truth?"
Yinzhen thought Wanyan was ignorant, and Wanyan was so angry that she laughed.
Wanyan: "If that's the case, then you should be of one mind with me."
Yinzhen couldn't do anything about Wanyan, and felt that she was being unreasonable and unreasonable.
Wanyan: "I think you are the one who can't tell good from bad, and you don't take fake people seriously!"
Yinzhen: "I think you have been bewitched by that Xi Fujin, and you don't even listen to me!"
Neither Wanyan nor Yinzhen could convince the other, and in the end Yinzhen followed Wanyan to the Old Summer Palace.
Su Mianmian affectionately held Wanyan's hand and walked in front, while Yinzhen and Yinzhi followed behind.
Yinzhen knew what kind of person his younger brother was and didn't want to talk to him and make him angry.
Yinzhen had a psychological trauma towards Yinzhen and felt uncomfortable walking with him.
Wanyan wanted to see the quadruplets, so Su Mianmian took her to see them, and Yinzhen was also fortunate enough to see another side of Yinzhen.
When Yinzhen saw Yinzhen holding the children and patting them one by one, he acted as if he had seen a ghost.
Yinzhen: "Fourth…Fourth brother…you…you…"
The Manchus would hold their grandchildren rather than their own children, but Yinzhen was very skilled at holding children.
He naturally followed the rules at first, but the four children didn't buy it.
They were all slapped with the loyalty symbol by Su Mianmian, and Su Mianmian's orders were their standard of conduct. Even if they were still infants, they had to be obedient and get close to Yinzhen, kiss him, hug him, and lift him up.
Su Mianmian didn't believe in the saying of holding grandchildren but not sons. If that were the case, Emperor Kangxi wouldn't love the crown prince as much as he loved his own eyes.
The quadruplets were all his biological children and were so close to him. Yinzhen loved Su Mianmian again and was more fond of her children. Naturally, there was no rule that he would only have grandchildren and not his own children.
Nowadays, he has to hug several children every day. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't.
This is a habit that has been developed. It is better to follow the rules in front of other people and be more casual in front of family members.
Yinzhen hated the fact that he followed the rules to a rigid degree, and now witnessing him breaking them with his own eyes, it felt like a dream.
Yinzhen also liked his younger brother Yinzhi. After all, his sixth brother had warmed his heart so much. He thought Yinzhi was the same as his sixth brother Yinzuo, but he didn't expect that Yinzhi was a naughty boy and seemed to have a grudge against him.
Now, seeing his silly surprised look, she found it amusing and her heart softened a little. She put Hong Sheng in his arms and guided him in holding the child.
The fourth prince Hongsheng had the best temper among the children. He did not cry or make a fuss when being held by Yinzhen, but instead smiled without any teeth.
Yinzhen was completely frozen, not daring to move. He looked at Wanyan for help, only to see that she was also holding a child in her arms, smiling very happily.
He looked at Yinzhen again and found that he was holding two children in his arms. Only Su Mianmian, his mother, did not hold any children. She just stood beside Yinzhen and teased the children in his arms.
The four princes seemed to have made an agreement that Yinzhen had to hug them one by one.
Su Mianmian couldn't help laughing when she saw this: "He is my biological uncle after all. I've never seen these little devils cling to others so much. Usually they cling to their father and won't let me hold them."
Wanyan was very interested and couldn't help asking, "Is it really so magical?"
Su Mianmian: "Yes, it couldn't be more true than this. Look at Hongsheng, he fell asleep comfortably in his uncle's arms."
Although Yinzhen did not get along with Yinzhen, he still liked children. He didn't have any children of his own, so naturally he wanted one too, and it would be best if he had a legitimate son first.
The grudges of adults had no effect on the children. Because of the quadruplets, Yinzhen and Wanyan played in the Old Summer Palace for a whole day.
Finally, I left with the quadruplets crying reluctantly, agreed on a time to meet next time, and then went home with peace of mind.
This was the first time that Yinzhen and Yinzhi met without quarreling. Yinzhen was very happy and had a joyful expression on his face when he went to bed.
For some relationships, there will be a second time after the first time.
Yinzhen was reluctant to come at first, but later he came on his own initiative. He had no other choice because he had no children of his own and he was envious of Yinzhen's children.
The quadruplets are so adorable. Su Mianmian gave them all the physical and mental enhancement pills she drew, and they are stronger and smarter than ordinary children.
Even Emperor Kangxi said they were little Baturu.
Emperor Kangxi may have listened to Concubine De's whispers and said a few words about his decision not to return to the palace.
He also told Yinzhen that he could not favor her alone.
Yinzhen was also stubborn and told Emperor Kangxi directly that since he had Su Mianmian, he no longer cared about those mediocre women.
Emperor Kangxi was also angry and punished him by confining him to his house, which was exactly what Yinzhen wanted.
He was extremely happy that he didn't have to attend court again.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't bear to see him living so comfortably, so he would always look for him whenever he had something to do.
Yinzhen was helpless and was ordered around like a top by Emperor Kangxi.
Yinzhen: "Khan Ama, you have no shortage of servants to grind ink here, why do you have to detain your son? Hongsheng and the others miss you."
Emperor Kangxi snorted and waved his hands, "Go away, go away!"
Yinzhen left quickly and went home to coax his children.
Yinzhen used to be very rigid and would never act like this, but influenced by Su Mianmian and the children, when he was alone with Emperor Kangxi, he returned to the time when Queen Tong was still around.
At that time, he was loved by someone, but he also had a bad temper and was even naughty.
He was also close to Khan Ama. At that time, among all the princes, the crown prince was first and he was second.
His relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also established at that time. Tong E'niang was always gentle and loving to Khan's children, and the same was true for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Every time Khan Ama brought the Crown Prince down, they played together.
His brothers said that he was the Crown Prince's lackey, and he acknowledged that because in his heart, the Crown Prince was indeed worthy of being the heir to the throne.
But now, they have grown up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed, his brothers have changed, and he has changed too.
He changed when he realized that only power could protect him.
He wanted to be a good subject and was granted the title of Iron-hat King. Later, he found that the Crown Prince had changed. He became suspicious and irritable, and lost the demeanor of a crown prince.
When people start to doubt him, he will change accordingly. He also wants to aspire for that position. He asks himself, if he sits in that position, he will be able to do well.
Emperor Kangxi also saw the changes in Yinzhen, and although he didn't say it, he was happy in his heart.
There is no father who doesn't want his son to be close to him, but he is an emperor, and his sons are different from ordinary children. They want his throne and power.
He devoted himself to cultivating Yinreng, but Yinreng disappointed him. Sometimes he would wonder if he had pushed Yinreng too hard, which was why Yinreng behaved like this?
But he is not only a father, he is also an emperor, and an emperor can never be wrong!
If Yinreng did not do well, that was his problem. He was not good enough, and it was definitely not his father's fault!
Emperor Kangxi had already thought about changing the crown prince, or he had had this idea for a long time.
All of his sons are outstanding, but who is the most suitable to sit on the throne...
He needs to think about it, let him think about it again...
Emperor Kangxi's recent behavior has put Yinzhen in the spotlight again, and even the crown prince can't sit still.
Yinzhen did not expect Yinreng to come to the Old Summer Palace. He came quietly and saw Yinzhen coaxing the children when he arrived.
After the child learned to crawl, he could no longer be kept in a cage, so they moved to Jiuzhou Qingyan.
There was a floor dragon in the room, and several children were crawling around on the floor, picking up toys from the floor and handing them to Yinzhen from time to time.
This was a game between them, and both Yinzhen and the children enjoyed it very much.
Su Mianmian was practicing calligraphy nearby. The calligraphy model was written by Yinzhen. Now her handwriting has become very good.
Su Mianmian would write down what happened every day, like writing a diary. She also wanted to learn painting, so that she could draw the interactions between Yinzhen and the children.
The two of them looked up at each other from time to time, and they felt happy without saying much.
The atmosphere was relaxed and happy, and Yinreng did not have the heart to disturb them for a moment, but was eventually discovered by the children.
Hong Sheng stared at Yinreng with his dark eyes, opened his arms, and called for a hug.
Yinreng had never even held his own child, but he somehow managed to hold Hongsheng.
As the eldest brother, Hong Sheng is the bravest among them. He always does things first. Once he makes sure it is safe, the other brothers will follow suit.
Then Yinreng hugged the four princes one by one.
The four children did not make any noise. When they saw that Yinzhen and Yinreng had something to say, they obediently followed their wet nurse and left.
Su Mianmian also used the excuse of watching the children eat and left the space to Yinzhen and Yinreng.
Yinzhen was the first to speak and break the silence, "Why did my second brother come out of the palace? Did he come to see the child?"
Yinreng looked at Yinzhen who was relaxed in front of him and said, "Fourth brother, you have changed a lot."
My fourth brother would never be like this before.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "No matter how he changes, he is still Second Brother's younger brother."
Yinzhen saw that Yinreng was still upset. He wanted the glorious second brother of the past to come back, but it was all just a pipe dream.
Even if the second brother wants to stop, his fans will not agree.
When Yinreng returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to see Emperor Kangxi.
He knew that he could not hide the fact that he had left the palace from Khan Ama, so it would be better for him to admit it.
Yinreng: "Khan Ama, I went to see my fourth brother's quadruplets today. I was so envious that I wish I could go back to my childhood."
Yinzhen took care of Su Mianmian and the four children. Even when he went to court, he would come back early to coax the children. His enthusiasm confused not only his brothers but also Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi even taught him with a look of disappointment that he should not indulge in family life and that a real man should make achievements.
Yinzhen seemed to have changed his temperament. When he was alone with Emperor Kangxi, he acted like a stubborn son. He insisted that the four children could not live without him as their father and he loved them so much that he could not bear to see them cry.
Yinzhen also said that although he was busy coaxing the children, wasn't he doing a good job in doing what Khan Ama had asked him to do?
Emperor Kangxi wanted to say that your brothers could see that the crown prince was useless, and they were all jumping for joy, but you were the only one who insisted on having a wife, children and a warm bed!
No energy at all!
Yinzhen would not accept this. Now that his four children could speak, their calls of "Ama" melted people's hearts. He did not want to be involved in these fights.
In the past, his refusal to fight was just superficial, but now he is sincere in not fighting.
He can really calm down. Now he is not just himself, he is the sky for his wife and children. The calmer his mind is, the more clearly he can see many things.
So he would not jump up and down like the eighth and ninth brothers. Even if the prince was wrong, it was not his brothers' fault.
Khan Ama would never like to see brothers fighting each other.
No matter how bad His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, he is still under the discipline of Khan Ama. He is the son raised by Khan Ama himself. If you keep holding on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mistakes, isn't that just a slap in Khan Ama's face, saying that he has failed to educate his son well?
Khan Ama is the supreme ruler, the Son of Heaven. How could the Son of Heaven make mistakes?
Therefore, the only ones who are at fault are the ministers.
The more happily the Eighth and Ninth Brothers jumped around, the more unhappy Khan Ama became. They thought that if they could fight the Crown Prince, they would have a chance, but in reality it was just Khan Ama's trade-off.
They are all pawns in Khan Ama's hands. What can they do if they jump around?
Although he did nothing, he did not slack off in the tasks assigned to him by Khan Ama and was able to complete everything well.
In this way, he is a good son and a good subject of Khan Ama.
The fate of the eighth and ninth brothers has been determined, and so has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if they struggle, they are just like grasshoppers in autumn.
The throne belongs to Khan Ama. He is the Son of Heaven, the God of the Qing Dynasty. He can give the throne to anyone he wants.
Who has the right to comment?
Although Yinzhen did not fight, he also did not let anyone catch him. When Emperor Kangxi moved to Changchun Garden, he brought his four children with him.
The four children are very smart and lovable, and they also admire their royal father Khan.
Emperor Kangxi watched Yinzhen skillfully coaxing the child. On the one hand, he scolded him for being sentimental, and on the other hand, he thought about Yinreng's childhood.
At that time, the relationship between father and son was the closest, and no one could surpass it.
Now that the child has grown up and has his own ideas, but does not have that much ability, he is anxious, and is placed in a high position by outsiders, so he is no longer close to his father.
Emperor Kangxi was surrounded by everyone except Yinzhen in Changchun Garden, but he still preferred to see Yinzhen coaxing the children in front of him.
He could see that the fourth brother was now really depressed.
When it comes to brothers, I can really see things clearly. I am no longer cynical, but instead feel some compassion.
There is no father and son in the heavenly family. For the supreme power, human nature cannot withstand the slightest test.
Among all his sons, only the fourth son treats his brothers well.
This is not enough. The fourth brother has learned how to be a minister, and I am afraid his brothers will not obey him.
As usual, Yinzhen took his four children to Changchun Garden to accompany Emperor Kangxi, but gradually he spent less time coaxing the children, and the four children became more and more attached to Emperor Kangxi.
He kept shouting "Huang Mafa Huang Mafa" every day, and even a heart of stone would be melted.
Emperor Kangxi said that he wanted to coax the child and pushed many things to Khan Ama. He felt uneasy at first and didn't know why Khan Ama did this, but gradually, he realized that Khan Ama was instructing him.
Whenever he was pondering over something, Khan Ama would often give him an epiphany with just one sentence.
All the brothers guessed that he went to Changchun Garden to curry favor, and they wanted to follow suit. However, their children were grown up and needed to go to school, so it was not realistic for them to come to Changchun Garden every day.
The most important thing is that Emperor Kangxi was not happy. He disliked that his grandchildren were too old and not fun to play with, and were not as interesting as the young quadruplets.
The brothers were jealous but could do nothing about it.
The quadruplets are under the watchful eyes of Emperor Kangxi, and if they really do something, they will be courting death.
While Yinzhen was coaxing the children in Changchun Garden, Su Mianmian spent more time alone, but she was not idle.
She had to take care of her dowry, which was given to her by Yinzhen at the time of her wedding. In addition to her own dowry, she also had to manage Yinzhen's property.
Although he does not compete with the common people for profit, the princes also have to eat and drink, support their families and support staff. If they really do not do any work and rely on the court salary to make a living, they will probably be stretched to the limit and cannot even afford gifts for the New Year.
Su Mianmian is not afraid of taking care of the dowry. She has drawn a lot of rewards, which seem to be useless, but can help make money.
But she was unsure about managing Yinzhen's property. She never thought that Yinzhen would trust her so much that he would actually hand over all his private property to her.
She was extremely careful, fearing that she would make a mistake and cause harm to Yinzhen.
Wanyan was good friends with Su Mianmian and knew her ability to make money, so she insisted on doing business with her.
Su Mianmian was reluctant to agree at first. After all, the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinzhi was not good, and she was afraid that getting too involved with Wanyan would affect the relationship between her and Yinzhi.
Wanyan: "What does our relationship have to do with a stinky man? I'm spending my own dowry, no one can interfere!"
Now that things have come to this, Su Mianmian can't just push people out. As for making money, it's natural for everyone to make it together.
Yinzhen was very awkward at first, but he couldn't resist the pillow talk and the huge sum of money.
In the end, he fulfilled Wanyan's wish. Not only that, his relationship with the eighth and ninth brothers also became distant.
After all, they are brothers from the same mother. Su Mianmian and Wanyan are very good at pillow talk. Although the two brothers are awkward with each other, they have finally broken the ice and become closer.
When Su Mianmian drew the lottery, she won the shipbuilding technology. She knew that this thing was like money in her hands, but she couldn't do it by herself.
Moreover, she couldn't just take this out rashly. Even though she had a good relationship with Yinzhen, she couldn't treat Yinzhen as a fool.
She was just a little palace maid, and even learned to read and write from Yinzhen. How could she know such advanced techniques?
Everything should have a legitimate reason. You can't expect the other person to trust you completely just because of feelings.
She thought about it for a long time and finally chose to fall asleep.
Since reality cannot explain it clearly, let's blame it on fantasy.
Although it is said that Confucius does not talk about strange and supernatural things, hasn't the imperial rule always claimed to be appointed by heaven?
In this case, it is normal to learn something and gain something from dreams.
It's not that Su Mianmian must touch this piece of cake. She could have suppressed the matter and never told anyone about it for the rest of her life, but she is the mother after all.
Moreover, she will not give birth only once in her life, she will have more children. By then, she can't let her children all be obsessed with the little piece of land in front of them, right?
Things like brothers fighting each other will not happen if you have a loyalty talisman, but there is no guarantee that the children will not live in poverty.
So the only solution for now is for parents to work hard. It's not possible to have the ability to give birth but not the ability to raise a child, right?
Yinzhen is now learning more and more from Khan Ama. He can figure out many things on his own, but it will take more energy and he will have to take many detours.
But with Khan Ama's guidance, he could avoid many detours.
Emperor Kangxi was also satisfied with Yinzhen, who had a calmness that the crown prince did not possess.
The prince was placed too high, and he couldn't sink down.
He cannot see the people and can only see the temptation of power. Such a prince is no longer fit to be the king of a country.
Emperor Kangxi gave Yinzhen more and more instructions, and he loved his four children more and more, but he was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Yinzhen favored Su Mianmian alone.
But Yinzhen was stubborn and once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
Emperor Kangxi also secretly investigated Su Mianmian. Not only that, Su Mianmian also had his secret guards around him.
At first, he was indignant that a little palace maid used her beauty to seduce his son, and wanted to deal with her on behalf of Yinzhen, rather than letting her become Yinzhen's weak spot.
But his people also said that his good son protected the Su family very well, not only that, he even gave his private property to the other party to manage!
Simply confused!
If it weren't for his good Qi cultivation skills and the fact that there were four children shouting "Huang Mafa Huang Mafa", he would have ordered the secret guards to kill Su Mianmian right then and there!
Until now, even though he knew that Su Mianmian was quite resourceful and had managed Yinzhen's property in an orderly and creative manner, he still disliked Su Mianmian.
From time to time, you have to hint at it or even say it directly.
Emperor Kangxi: "You favor Su so much, it's like roasting her on the fire. You can protect her for a while, but there will always be a time when you fall asleep. What will she do then?"
Yinzhen: "My son loves her, so he naturally wants to give her the best. If he can't even protect the one he loves, then it's because my son is incompetent! My son is not a useless person. My son can give her the best, so he has the ability to protect her!"
Yinzhen ignored Emperor Kangxi's angry expression and continued, "Besides, Mianmian is not someone who will let others manipulate her. If others respect her, she will return them ten feet. If others are too aggressive, she will make them miserable."
Yinzhen originally wanted to say that he would have no descendants, but after thinking it over he changed his words and said that he was in unbearable pain.
But he and Emperor Kangxi both understood that Su Mianmian was not as weak and harmless as she appeared.
None of those who tried to trip her up in the business world ended up having an easy win. Even Lao Jiu suffered a great loss at her hands.
Although Su Mianmian pursues harmony in business, she is not the kind of person who takes suffering losses as a blessing.
Emperor Kangxi received many benefits from Su Mianmian through Yinzhen.
With all the help she has, no one can resist money.
Even the current Emperor Kangxi could only say a few words behind his back, otherwise Yinzhen would not have spoken so bluntly.
Su Mianmian is gentle and considerate to her family, and is able to guard Yinzhen's rear, allowing Yinzhen to focus on his future.
To the outside world, he is the Demon Star that no one can afford to offend.
It's just that family members know their own business, there's no need to make it known to everyone.
Emperor Kangxi was very angry with Yinzhen, "You are bewitched by her now, and when she is no longer beautiful, you will naturally wake up."
Emperor Kangxi originally wanted to use his offspring as an excuse, but the four children were trying their best to climb up to him, and he really couldn't just turn a blind eye.
Yinzhen did not argue with Emperor Kangxi. Time would tell what he meant.
Su Mianmian and Yinzhen used the Goddess' Dream when they went to bed. This time it was not anything erotic, but both of them came to a strange place.
There is fog all around, and things hidden in the fog are not clear. Only each other who are by our side are real.
Su Mianmian fearfully hugged Yinzhen's arm and said, "Master, where is this?"
Yinzhen looked cautious. Although he didn't know where this place was, he still hugged Su Mianmian tightly and hid her in his arms.
Yinzhen: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Although Yinzhen didn't understand where this place was, he still asked loudly, "Excuse me, where is this place? Is there an owner?"
As Yinzhen finished speaking, the mist in front of their eyes dissipated, leaving a path unbroken.
Yinzhen took care of Su Mianmian and led him forward. He looked back and saw rising mist following them, blocking their retreat at any time and anywhere.
Yinzhen was nervous about the unknown, but he did not feel afraid. He was a prince, the ambitious fourth prince. Although this place was mysterious, it did not scare him.
Not only that, he thought of the stories about immortals entering dreams.
Su Mianmian didn't know what Yinzhen was thinking, but she was satisfied that he protected her along the way, and it was worth it for her to go to so much trouble to increase his bargaining chips.
Su Mianmian and Yinzhen each had their own thoughts, but that did not prevent them from being shocked by what they saw.
The Qing navy used many types of warships, mainly bird boats, silk-carrying boats, barge boats, rice boats, Tongan shuttle boats, and large horizontal ocean shuttle boats.
The dimensions of Qing Dynasty warships are as follows: "Each ship is 6.33 zhang to 36.67 zhang (3.2 m - 7.83 m) long and zhang cun to zhang cun ( m - m) wide."
But the huge ship that appeared before the two of them was even more majestic than the warships of the Qing Dynasty!
Yinzhen is not a man who knows nothing. If he can control such a warship, he will be the undisputed overlord of the sea!
Although the Qing Dynasty was established after it took control of the Central Plains, it has never been surrounded by the sea, but no one would complain about having too many good things at home.
Not to mention, he had already started to think about the gold, silver and gems overseas under Su Mianmian's pillow talk. If the Qing Dynasty had a strong shipbuilding capability, it could conquer the ocean...
Yinzhen's breathing changed because he was excited.
Su Mianmian was very satisfied with Yinzhen's changes. After that, things went as Yinzhen and Su Mianmian had thought. They entered the big ship, and then everything became different.
It seemed like another world inside the big ship. The people there did not speak, but they were busy building the ship from beginning to end.
Yinzhen understood the value of this, so he calmed down and began to learn.
Su Mianmian also worked hard with him. She and Yinzhen each learned a part, and then found and filled in the gaps.
Once inside the ship, the passage of time becomes unimportant.
They didn't know how long they had been studying on the ship.
All we know is that after they learned everything on the ship, they were not able to leave the ship immediately. Instead, test questions appeared in front of them.
The question is to let them build a big ship!
Yinzhen and Su Mianmian looked at each other, knowing that if they didn't complete this test, they would neither be free.
So the two of them got ready.
Then Yinzhen and Su Mianmian discovered that all the people on the ship had disappeared, and the craftsmen and masters who taught them how to build ships had disappeared out of thin air.
This is the examination room for both of them.
There was eagerness in the eyes of Yinzhen and Su Mianmian. They were not stupid. It might be difficult to ask them to innovate, but they were not afraid of recovering.
Yinzhen and Su Mianmian worked together to build the boat, and they were covered in dust every day. In order to work more conveniently, Yinzhen went shirtless, and Su Mianmian also changed into a light short shirt.
The two of them did not look like the precious princes and princesses at all. Instead, they were no different from the previous craftsmen.
Yinzhen's face and skin became darker, but Su Mianmian didn't change much and remained as fair.
On the big ship, they did not feel hungry when they were learning, but after the assessment began, they felt tired and hungry.
Fortunately, the ship had everything they needed, but they just had to work hard to get enough food and clothing.
Yinzhen didn't believe in the saying "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen", and Su Mianmian no longer stayed away from housework.
The two of them were busy together. If it weren't for the fact that the food Yinzhen made was really unpalatable, he would have been reluctant to let Su Mianmian suffer from the smoke and fire.
On the big ship, the two of them lived like an ordinary couple.
But when they are resting, both of them will miss their four children.
Especially Yinzhen, who was almost the only one who raised the quadruplets. He was very uncomfortable after not hearing them call him "Ama" for a long time.
Su Mianmian didn't feel much, but they had been in the dream for long enough that she began to feel like a mother and missed her child a little.
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, and after their fatigue was gone, they stepped up the construction of the ship, hoping to complete the assessment as soon as possible.
They didn't say any of this out loud, and they really did have a tacit understanding.
Yinzhen looked at Su Mianmian and felt comforted.
Su Mianmian also felt warmed in her heart and became more convinced of Yinzhen's feelings.
Hard work pays off. Yinzhen and Su Mianmian worked together to make an identical ship and completed the task.
The two hugged each other, and when they opened their eyes, they found that it was already the next day.
Yinzhen hugged Su Mianmian and smiled at each other. They got up at the same time and the first thing they did was to see the child.
The years they experienced in their dreams were long, and they really missed their children.
The four children were very affectionate to their father and mother when they saw them, and the family of six was very close to each other.
Su Mianmian was the first to leave. There was nothing she could do. There were too many children and they were too noisy. It made her ears hurt.
And it has been delayed for a long time, and her motherly love has been exhausted.
Su Mianmian went to the study and wrote down the shipbuilding techniques she had learned in her dream word for word, leaving the remaining parts that she didn't remember clearly for Yinzhen to check and fill in the gaps.
Yinzhen took his four children to Changchun Garden.
By now the four children could walk, but Yinzhen was worried that they would get hurt if they walked too early, so he only allowed them to walk for a short while before letting the servants carry them.
The four children were also very well behaved, they were already used to it, and when they arrived at Changchun Garden, they bowed and greeted Emperor Kangxi obediently, and their calls of "Royal Mama" were so sweet that they could ooze out sweet tears.
Emperor Kangxi now left many things to Yinzhen, and most of the time he was looking after the children.
After spending a long time with his four children, Emperor Kangxi also developed a lot of compassion.
The four children are also very fond of him, the emperor.
Yinzhen didn't know what Emperor Kangxi talked about with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but every time he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he felt that he had changed more than the last time.
Yinreng was held hostage by Soetu and had to discuss everything with him. However, how could he hide his discussions from Emperor Kangxi?
Emperor Kangxi had many sons, but among all of them, Yinreng worried him the most. He was afraid that he would melt if he held him in his mouth, and afraid that he would break if he threw him in his hands.
He just wanted to give all the benefits in the world to this son, but the child grew up and had his own ideas. He is the emperor, and the emperor can't be wrong!
As a result, Yinreng gradually distanced himself from him. How miserable he was! He was miserable, and he didn't let others feel miserable either!
If Yinreng had not come to him that day and told him so many things, they would probably have been beyond redemption.
Yinreng envied Yinzhen and his son, and he was also envious, so he let Yinzhen bring the child to accompany him.
Yinzhen was originally the right-hand man he prepared for Yinreng.
Among all his brothers, Yinzhen was always close to Yinreng, and they often played together when they were young.
No matter what Yinreng does, Yinzhen will always be the one to back him up, but this won't work.
How can a ruler be constrained by outsiders?
Soetu was a good person, but his kindness was not for the good of the Qing Dynasty. His kindness had an absolute purpose, and he didn't believe that Yinreng couldn't see it.
After Yinzhen brought his four children to accompany the emperor, he observed them father and son, and he saw all the changes in Yinzhen. Although his son looked honest, he actually had great ambitions.
However, after having these four children, his personality changed. His ambition was still there, but he had really stabilized himself.
Perhaps it was because he had seen too much of Yinzhen getting along with the four children that he couldn't help but think of Yinreng's childhood. Although he was angry that Yinreng, the crown prince, was being held hostage at home, he still felt more distressed for him for walking on thin ice.
So he had several secret talks with Yinreng, and he told Yinreng clearly that he would not let him be emperor, and that the Qing Dynasty did not need an emperor who was constrained by his outsiders, but Yinreng would always be his son.
Emperor Kangxi: "Even if you and Suo Etu rebel, you are still my son."
Yinreng's expression at the time was shocked, and he was also terrified: "Khan Ama, I didn't, I didn't want to rebel, it was..."
Emperor Kangxi: "You don't need to say more. Of course I know it's Suo Etu. He would do anything for the Hesheli clan. The glory he wants is not the glory of the Qing Dynasty, but the eternal existence of the Hesheli clan!"
Emperor Kangxi looked at Yinreng deeply, "You lost your mother when you were young, so you are very close to the Hesheli clan. They took advantage of your young age and your desire for family affection, and they manipulated you. It's also my fault..."
How could Yinreng make Emperor Kangxi say such self-harming words? Naturally, he took all the blame on himself.
However, Emperor Kangxi thought Yinreng was a very good person, so he naturally could not belittle himself, so everything was Soetu's fault.
However, Yinreng pleaded for Soetu, and Emperor Kangxi could not ignore Yinreng's feelings.
Emperor Kangxi had a sincere talk with Yinreng, who was also satisfied with his younger brother Yinzhen.
Yinreng: "Fourth brother has always been kind to me, and it is me, as his elder brother, who has failed him."
Emperor Kangxi: "Don't you blame him for coveting the position of crown prince?"
Yinreng shook his head, and Emperor Kangxi stared at Yinreng closely, trying to tell whether he was genuine or not.
Yinreng said sincerely, "Khan Ama, these are my true thoughts. If there is a choice, I would rather my fourth brother be the one to ascend the throne. Among all my brothers, only my fourth brother can forgive me."
Emperor Kangxi also knew that his favor for Yinreng made his other sons unhappy, but he did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Emperor Kangxi: "You are the crown prince, the most honorable one! They are just..."
Emperor Kangxi wanted to say something bad about his other sons, but he finally kept it to himself. He had also been ignored by his father, so it cannot be entirely blamed on his sons.
Now that Yinreng has reconciled with Emperor Kangxi, and knowing that no one can shake his position in Emperor Kangxi's heart, he no longer cares about the jealousy of his brothers.
He was in a very good mood and comforted Emperor Kangxi. The father and son became closer than they had been in a long time, as if they were back to Yinreng's childhood.
Yinreng already knew Emperor Kangxi's decision, so he was also close to Yinzhen.
Khan Ama is right. The Qing Dynasty does not need an emperor who is held hostage by his subjects. Only Xiao Si can make the Qing Dynasty go further and become more prosperous!
Seeing that Yinzhen was becoming more and more favored by Emperor Kangxi, Concubine De could no longer sit still, so she summoned Yinzhi to the palace.
Concubine De did not hide her true love for Yinzhen, and she asked him directly whether he had any thoughts about the throne.
Now the situation in the court is clear. Emperor Kangxi summons Yinzhen and his four children to accompany him every day, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also protects Yinzhen intentionally or unintentionally.
There are complicated connections between Empress Defei and the bannermen family behind her, and she knows many things better than anyone else.
She felt very uncomfortable. In her heart, Yinzhen was the murderer who killed Yinzuo. If Yinzuo had not been close to him, Yinzuo would not have died so early.
Yinzhen was able to kill even Tong Jia, which clearly showed that he was an unlucky person. If he became the final winner, it was likely that even his biological mother would be killed!
In Concubine De's heart, she most wanted Yinzhen to inherit the throne, so she was very anxious.
However, Yinzhen broke the ice with Yinzhen very early in his life. With the pillow talk of Wanyan and Su Mianmian, the two brothers were able to overcome hardness with softness and eliminate many misunderstandings in their interactions.
Not to mention that all of Yinzhi's private businesses are now entangled with Yinzhen. He said he would never offend the God of Wealth no matter what.
Not to mention that Wanyan successfully became pregnant using Su Mianmian's conditioning prescription, and now he really admires his brother Yinzhen.
Yinzhen: "Mother, please don't say stupid things. Isn't it a good thing that Fourth Brother is valued by Khan Ama? Not only are you not happy, but you are not happy about it. Are you stupid?"
Defei was so angry at Yinzhen that she fell backwards: "Are you stupid? No one is worse than you. If your fourth brother succeeds to the throne in the future, you will have to worship him and kneel to him. Are you happy with that?!"
Yinzhen: "Fourth brother will be the emperor when he succeeds to the throne, so it's natural for the subjects to kneel down and pay homage. Isn't this normal? Mother, I know what you're thinking. You just don't like my fourth brother. Even if my fourth brother can be the emperor, you won't be happy. You want me to be the emperor, but you don't even consider whether I am that material."
Concubine De: "Why aren't you that kind of material? You are young and brave, what's wrong with that?"
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Mother, family members know their own affairs. You asked me to march and fight, and I will never belittle myself. I am brave, but when it comes to governing a country, I am not that kind of person. Mother, as a concubine, you'd better not offend Khan Ama. Can you really hide what you said to me from Khan Ama?"
Yinzhen didn't want to get entangled with Concubine De anymore. It was pointless to talk her out of it. She would wake up when the dust settled.
In the current court, even Soetu, who has returned home to enjoy his retirement, knows that his fourth brother is set to be the new emperor.
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to protect Fourth Brother, so why should others be so anxious?
Besides, with his fourth brother succeeding to the throne, his position as the iron-hat king is secure. He can only enjoy the good life from now on, and he has no need to worry about anything else.
Yinzhen quickly left Defei's palace, hoping that Khan Ama would not give his mother a hard time for the sake of his fourth brother.
Emperor Kangxi naturally knew what Concubine De was thinking, and he just thought she was really stupid.
There is no need to do anything else, just let her concentrate on praying.
It is said to be praying, but in fact it is just house arrest.
Yinzhen also saw through Defei clearly, but now no matter what Defei did, she couldn't hurt him.
The four children's first birthday celebration was very lively. It was held in Emperor Kangxi's Changchun Garden. The four children worked together and collected all the gifts during the one-year-old celebration, and then dragged them together to give to Emperor Kangxi.
The four children said in baby voices: "Huang Ma Fa, give it to me!"
Emperor Kangxi was amused by the four children and made them laugh so much that he conferred the title of Beizi on them on the spot.
After the Zhou-Zhua Ceremony, Defei's house arrest was lifted, and she was invited by Emperor Kangxi to Changchun Garden to accompany him.
Before, Emperor Kangxi was served by younger concubines, and the Four Concubines stayed in the palace to take charge of the overall situation. Now, Concubine De is the first of the Four Concubines to accompany the emperor.
After being under house arrest for a day, Defei knew that Emperor Kangxi was angry with her. Now that the ban was lifted, she naturally would not offend Emperor Kangxi and say anything unpleasant.
But she couldn't bear to see Yinzhen living a good life, especially when she saw Yinzhen and Su Mianmian playing the piano and singing in harmony during the one-year-old celebration, making others envious, which made her even more unhappy.
So she reminded Emperor Kangxi in a roundabout way that Yinzhen had not returned to the palace for a long time, and the palace's wives and concubines had not seen their master for a long time.
Besides, if Yinzhen inherited the throne, how could the harem favor only one person?
Even if it is for the purpose of continuing offspring, it should be shared equally and have branches and leaves spread out.
Emperor Kangxi was also most wary of favoring one person exclusively, so Defei's words touched the heart of his heart.
But Su Mianmian is the mother of four children after all, and the apple of Yinzhen's eye. Moreover, although Su Mianmian was just a palace maid and had no support from her natal family, she was capable. As a father-in-law, he could not interfere in his son's bedroom affairs, so he allowed Yinzhen not to return to the palace and favored only one of her.
Emperor Kangxi did not want to offend anyone, so Concubine De's role came into play. Before Concubine De could do anything, Yinzhen happily reported the good news to Emperor Kangxi.
Yinzhen: "Khan Ama, you are going to have four more grandchildren now, and your son is going to be Ama again!"
Su Mianmian originally took a contraceptive pill, but the effect of the pill was weakened by her various buffs.
So she is now four months pregnant.
Wang Tingyun treated Su Mianmian for twins, so he kept it a secret and only announced the good news after the fetus was four months old.
Emperor Kangxi was so overjoyed that he had long forgotten to hint to Concubine De about sending someone else there.
The fact that Su Mianmian was pregnant did make Concubine De feel uncomfortable, but she also had something to say.
The general meaning is that now that Su Mianmian is pregnant and in poor health, Yinzhen should have more people to serve him.
As a result, Yinzhen didn't give him any face at all, and his meaning was very clear. Su Mianmian was in a critical situation now. How could he ignore Su Mianmian's feelings for his own enjoyment?
There is no need for servants, as he is not a man who indulges in beauty.
Defei said directly that Yinzhen had forgotten his mother after getting married, but Yinzhen just listened and refused to obey.
Emperor Kangxi didn't care at all because Su Mianmian made money in a proper way and also gave him a lot of good things as a gift.
Defei returned in defeat and could not find any allies, so she could only sulk.
Yixiu in the palace had no idea what to do.
She originally thought that after defeating her sister, she would be invincible, but the facts slapped her in the face.
In the palace, Yixiu had not gotten out of bed for a long time because of a severe headache. She looked sick, but her eyes were filled with hatred.
Yi Xiu: "I originally thought that the prince doted on me by treating me like that, but now it seems that it's just so-so. If I knew about Su Mianmian's existence, I wonder if I would be sad in the afterlife."
Jianqiu is now serving Yixiu. She feels sorry for Yixiu and naturally comforts her.
Jian Qiu: "Fujin, since ancient times, most men have been unfaithful. Now the prince favors her only because of her good looks. After a few years, when her looks are gone, the prince will naturally change his mind."
Yi Xiu: "Of course I know that love fades with age, but I don't want to wait! I wish she would fall out of favor right away! That bitch, she's pregnant again!"
Yixiu's mental state is very bad now. She doesn't care about anyone at all. She also tried to take advantage of Su Mianmian. Unfortunately, all her plans failed, which made her illness worse.
Now Yinzhen never returns to the palace. Even if she goes to invite him, he cannot come back. She, as his wife, is just a showpiece, with no substance.
Jianqiu was afraid that Yixiu's mood swings would make her condition worse, so she tried every way to make her happy.
Jian Qiu: "I think it's a good thing that Su Mianmian is pregnant. Since ancient times, women who get pregnant and give birth are considered to be in danger of death. Now that she is dominating the prince, she will inevitably suffer more during pregnancy. She can now rely on her young body to recover well, but if it takes a few more years, I'm afraid it may not be possible."
Yixiu listened to Jianqiu's words and naturally understood what she meant. She was also well versed in medicine and knew how much harm pregnancy and childbirth would cause to a woman's body. If she continued to be pregnant and childbear endlessly, it would only deplete her body's vitality and she would become weak and old.
Su Mianmian has a physique that allows her to have multiple children. If she continues to give birth like this, she may not live for many years even with the care of an imperial physician. She knows this, but she cannot accept it emotionally.
She also loved the prince deeply. She didn't want other women around him, and she didn't want to see other women give birth to children for him.
Her Honghui is gone, so how can children born to other women survive!
Yixiu was still unwilling to give in, so she used the people at her disposal to contact Concubine De.
Defei couldn't ignore her niece Yixiu. After all, it was for the honor of the family. So Defei became ill due to worry and insisted that her niece Yixiu take care of her.
When Yixiu met Concubine De, she started brainwashing her without saying a few words.
Yixiu: "Aunt, the prince is now devoted to Xi Fu Jin, I'm afraid there will be no place for my niece in the future."
Defei actually had the same idea in her mind, but she couldn't admit it.
De Fei: "You are the wife appointed by His Majesty personally, and you are listed in the royal jade book. Even if the Fourth Prince favors Xi Fu Jin, he will never surpass you!"
Although Defei's words were very decisive, Yixiu didn't dare to believe it.
Yixiu: "Aunt, I'm sorry to say something disrespectful. Isn't that person also a nobody now? Aren't I the same as that person now? It's uncertain what the future will be like. I'm afraid that I won't be able to continue the family's glory."
Yixiu's words were vague, but Defei knew that the person she was talking about was Yinreng.
Yinreng is still the respected Crown Prince, but everyone in the court knows that he cannot sit on the throne.
Yixiu compared her situation with that of the Crown Prince, and Defei had to believe it.
Defei: "Yinzhen won't do that. He always values rules..."
Having said that, Concubine De was deeply shaken.
Yixiu could see that Concubine De was wavering, so she continued to persuade her.
Yixiu: "Aunt, even if it's for the honor of the family, you have to think carefully. If that day comes, it will be too late."
Defei was no longer calm, for she knew that the people of the Aisin-Gioro family loved them to live and hated them to death, and that Yinzhen, who had been taught by Tong Jia, valued love the most.
If he really ascends the throne, he will make Su Mianmian the queen... No, no, Su Mianmian is a Han banner woman and does not meet the qualifications to be the queen.
But...what if the emperor insists on doing so, even wanting to give Su Mianmian a boost?
Concubine De became more and more uneasy. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she could not allow Su Mianmian to dominate the country.
So she united the power of the bannermen families.
The palace maids in the harem are intertwined and the power of the bannermen families is deeply rooted. If they really mobilize, the power will be enormous.
Yinzhen did protect Su Mianmian well, but the power of the bannermen families was hard to guard against.
Emperor Kangxi's protection of Queen Tong was indeed complete, but in the end, she was still unable to save the child and eventually died.
Su Mianmian had a system lottery and got a lot of life-saving and detoxifying pills, and the people serving her used loyalty talismans, so not only was she fine, but she also got hold of the Baoyi family's handle.
After Su Mianmian was named Concubine Xi and was included in the royal jade book, more palace servants began to serve her.
Except for Nanny Yang, Xiancao, Ruicao and others, all other palace servants were carefully selected by Su Peisheng in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They have absolutely clean family backgrounds and clean backgrounds, and have no masters behind them.
Su Mianmian's lottery draws did not increase because she gave birth to a child. Although her luck had improved a little and she didn't always have to thank the guests for their patronage, it was still difficult to obtain something as miraculous as the Loyalty Talisman, so she didn't use the Loyalty Talisman on all the palace people.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but she really doesn't have enough.
Later, after she took control of Yinzhen's private property and cooperated in business with Wanyan and others, her luck improved.
But loyalty talismans are still in short supply, and she used them on the people who managed her business.
Later, Wanyan became pregnant and was very grateful to her. He introduced many concubines to her to do business. She also became pregnant soon after. Her luck got better and she drew more loyalty charms.
When she was pregnant, in order to ensure absolute safety, she asked the people who served her to complete the loyalty talismans little by little, and it was a good thing that they completed them.
It can be said that all the people in Jiuzhou Qingyan who serve their master nearby are Su Mianmian's fans.
The matter concerned Concubine De and the bannerman family, and Su Mianmian did not want to intervene. After all, Concubine De was Yinzhen's biological mother, and she did not want to say anything good or bad to Yinzhen, so she directly ordered the palace servants to tell Yinzhen the whole story.
Yinzhen thought that the eighth and ninth princes would take action against him, but he never thought that Concubine De would do so.
Although he was not very close to Concubine De, she was still his biological mother. He was still young when Tong's mother passed away. How could he not miss his mother?
But he didn't expect that his mother would actually attack his beloved wife and have the heart to kill his offspring!
Yinzhen felt chilled in the heart. He listened to the report from the palace maid and learned about the various schemes that Concubine De had joined forces with the bannerman families to plot against Su Mianmian. He was filled with anger.
He had long known that the bannermen families were restless, but he had never thought of killing them all, because Concubine De was of bannerman origin, and he did not want to put his hand on his mother and make things difficult for her.
As a result, he considered his mother in every possible way, but his mother just wanted him to be without a wife and children!
At this moment, Yinzhen no longer had any thoughts about Concubine De.
Su Mianmian had long been whispering about the bondservant family, but Yinzhen had never been able to make up his mind. He was afraid that if the truth were really uncovered it would be bad for Concubine De, so he endured it again and again.
Now he has no scruples at all.
Yinzhen was a man with his own ideas. Once he had them, he ordered the Sticking Rod Department to take action.
Su Mianmian managed Yinzhen's private property. His private property doubled. He was not short of money, so he naturally expanded the Sticking Rod Department.
Emperor Kangxi also gave some of his secret guards to Yinzhen, but the main purpose was to monitor him, so Yinzhen trusted the Sticking Rod Department that he had cultivated more.
Su Mianmian also gave Yinzhen a lot of martial arts secrets for training people through a dream about the goddess, and even Yinzhen himself followed suit to practice.
Ever since the time he learned shipbuilding techniques in a dream, Yinzhen became calm about immortals entering his dreams.
He has money and methods, so he can train people quickly.
It won't be long before these baoyi families are thoroughly investigated by the stick-sticking department.
After Yinzhen gave these instructions, he calmed down and went to find Su Mianmian.
When the palace maid reported all this to Yinzhen, she said that because the master was pregnant, it was not appropriate to worry too much, so he went directly to Yinzhen to report everything.
Yinzhen knew that Su Mianmian was unaware of the various plots that Concubine De had made against him in collaboration with the bannermen families, but the moment he saw Su Mianmian, he still felt guilty and felt sorry for her.
When facing Su Mianmian, Yinzhen still couldn't suppress his emotions and his eyes turned red.
Yinzhen hugged Su Mianmian and rested his head on her neck. He apologized to her, which surprised her.
Su Mianmian: "Why are you apologizing for no reason?"
Yinzhen: "You promised to come back early to teach your child, but you came back late."
Yinzhen did not tell Su Mianmian about Concubine De's affairs. Although he knew that Su Mianmian was not that fragile, he still did not want to make her unhappy in the slightest.
Yinzhen felt that he was not strong enough, and he wanted to ascend the throne as soon as possible. By then, he wanted Mianmian to become the most honorable person!
No one can let her be wronged, no one can say anything about her, and no one can surpass her.
Su Mianmian knew that this was not what Yinzhen meant, but she was still considerate and believed what he said, and expressed her understanding of his difficulties.
Emperor Kangxi now relies more and more on Yinzhen. Before, he was always beside Yinzhen to give him instructions, but now he doesn't hear a word from him and lets Yinzhen handle everything on his own.
Emperor Kangxi found the joy of playing with children. He felt that he was getting younger and younger and was very relaxed every day.
In contrast, Yinzhen would be exhausted.
However, Yinzhen is now in a legitimate position. Although he is not the Crown Prince, he is also the heir recognized by Emperor Kangxi. Therefore, he has no guilt in ordering his brothers around.
The Qing Dynasty does not belong to him alone. There is no reason for him to work hard while his brothers enjoy themselves.
The eighth prince and the ninth prince wanted to embarrass Yinzhen, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was staring at them like a tiger, and they might be torn to pieces if they were not careful, so they could only obey in silence.
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at the mercy of Yinzhen, so what else do they, the princes, have?
Emperor Kangxi was the wind direction of the court. With him as the guardian, Yinzhen was able to take drastic measures.
So when the numerous crimes of the bannerman families were laid out before the court, Yinzhen left them no room for mercy!
Yinzhen liquidated the bannermen families, and the former dynasty and harem, as well as relatives from various royal palaces, were also involved.
Although they also knew that if the water was too clear, there would be no fish, but these bondservants were so bold that they actually bullied their masters. Their food, clothing and other expenses were a hundred times more luxurious than those of the royal family!
Not to mention the evil deeds done by the bondservants in collusion with each other, which are really horrifying!
Emperor Kangxi ruled for many years. As he grew old, he became kind and lenient, which led to the gradual deterioration of the court administration. In addition, his inaction led to widespread corruption, with all officials, big and small, engaging in corruption and bribery.
As a son, Yinzhen naturally could not blame his father for his wrongdoings, but he also had to root out these cancers from the Qing Dynasty!
Fortunately, the current Emperor Kangxi is really delegating power. No one knows why he has changed like this. He clearly used the eldest prince very much before, and later gave many honors to the eighth and ninth princes, which aroused the ambitions among the brothers.
But now he is making changes contrary to his usual behavior, and all these changes started with getting closer to his four children.
Apart from Su Mianmian, the person involved, no one else would think too deeply about this matter and would just think that Emperor Kangxi had changed his mind.
Moreover, Yinzhen has considerable political power, is a half-legitimate son, and has the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if others want to get angry, they have to see if they have the ability to do so.
What's more, now that Yinzhen has experienced many dreams of gods appearing in his dreams, he has more and more bargaining chips, and his mind is naturally open. He is able to make full use of his capable brothers.
Even the eldest and third princes who were punished were pulled out to do the work, and the other princes were even busier.
Emperor Kangxi had no doubt about all he did. Everyone could see that Yinzhen's succession to the throne was a foregone conclusion.
All the bondservant families who were involved in the crime were beheaded, and the rest were exiled to Ningguta.
Not only that, Yinzhen also required these prisoners who were exiled to Ningguta to create value, and sent a number of military supervisors to watch over them, and all their property was confiscated and put into the national treasury.
Yinzhen's move made the remaining bannermen behave themselves in a very cautious manner, fearing that they would commit crimes again if they were not careful.
Because of this action, Yinzhen was nicknamed the Prince of Confiscating Property.
Yinzhen didn't care about all this. Since Khan had handed the power to him, he would clean up the court and bring order to the world. He would also settle accounts with all the corrupt officials and parasites who preyed on the people.
There were quite a few people in the Sticking Rod Department, and they were all loyal to Yinzhen. They lurked in the homes of various officials like ghosts, secretly monitoring their every move.
As a result, the Eight Banners children were promoted by Yinzhen, who even established the Eight Banners Military Academy, so that all these idle Eight Banners children who relied on their family's protection could study in the military academy. If they graduated with excellent results, they could make great achievements and bring honor to their family.
If you cannot graduate, you will need to repeat the year. If you fail three times, you will be exiled to Ningguta!
Yinzhen's behavior shocked the Eight Banners for a while, and Emperor Kangxi also thought he was very bold.
However, Yinzhen was not afraid at all. The Qing Dynasty was a kingdom conquered on horseback. These Eight Banners descendants had such a good life that they all became playboys!
Now it might be a good idea to let them all gain some experience in the military academy!
As the principal of the Eight Banners Military Academy, Yinzhen was also challenged by the Eight Banners disciples.
Of course, he tacitly agreed to this challenge, so on the first day of school, Yinzhen accepted the round-robin battle and fought with these arrogant Eight Banners descendants for a whole day.
Yinzhen is no longer the Yinzhen who was not as good as his brothers in riding and shooting. He is now studying hard.
It was easy for him to deal with these Eight Banners descendants, and he was not afraid even of a round-the-clock battle.
The Eight Banners descendants originally wanted to unite and embarrass Yinzhen through round-robin battles, but after the challenge, they themselves became the clowns.
But at the same time, they were full of admiration for Yinzhen.
These Eight Banners children were educated and influenced by the military academy and became Yinzhen's absolute strength!
Wanyan became pregnant a month earlier than Su Mianmian, but in the end, Su Mianmian gave birth first. Because she was carrying multiple babies, premature birth was inevitable, but the imperial physician did not expect that she would give birth so early.
Yixiu, who had been staying by Defei's side under the pretext of attending to her illness, also learned about Su Mianmian's actions. All her previous plans had come to nothing, and now she could only rely on the power of the curse to keep Su Mianmian from escaping the gates of hell.
However, Su Mianmian still gave birth to healthy quadruplets extremely quickly.
Yinzhen was looking forward to having a little princess, but all four children he gave birth to were princes.
Before Yinzhen had time to feel disappointed, the four little ones happily called out "brother and brother" repeatedly, making Yinzhen so worried that he would go deaf.
For the sake of his ears, he asked the four little ones to take care of their younger brother, and he went to find Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian took the recovery pill and his lost energy was replenished, so he was still very energetic when Yinzhen came.
When he saw Yinzhen, he asked, "Master, can we name the child this time?"
Yinzhen looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid it won't work. After knowing that you were pregnant, Khan Ama started to choose a name. The imperial edict has been drafted and is waiting for you to give birth."
Before Yinzhen finished speaking, the imperial edict from Emperor Kangxi bestowing the name arrived.
The names of the eightieth, ninetieth and eleventh princes are: Hongxin, Hongxu, Hongyao and Hongxuan.
Yinzhen could be said to be in great glory, as he had the most sons among all his brothers!
After rest, Su Mianmian has recovered as before, and the four little princes are also in good health. The third-day baptism ceremony, full-month ceremony, and hundred-day ceremony were all held in Emperor Kangxi's Changchun Garden.
Because Yixiu had always been by Concubine De's side taking care of her, she was present at the four children's third-day baptism, full-month ceremony, and hundred-day ceremony.
Only she knows the sadness.
Yixiu even doubted whether Yinzhen had ever truly loved his sister Rouze. Otherwise, why would he turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to her, Rouze's younger sister?
Yixiu's idea was also the same as Defei's, so she took the opportunity to give him some advice when he came to pay his respects.
The general meaning is that Yixiu is his original wife, the mistress of the house, and Rouze's sister. You once promised Rouze that you would take good care of Yixiu. Doesn't that count anymore?
Yinzhen now has no filter of a biological mother towards Concubine De. The main reason why he came to pay his respects was out of filial piety. However, if Concubine De wanted to control him by using filial piety, she was probably making a wrong calculation.
Yinzhen knew that Yixiu was in Defei's palace, and she might be eavesdropping on his conversation with Defei behind the screen.
So he answered with confidence.
Yinzhen: "Mother, it is her greatest honor that Yixiu is still the wife of Prince Yong. If it were not for Honghui, she would not even have such honor."
Yinzhen looked at Defei seriously, but there was a coldness in his eyes that Defei understood but was unwilling to admit.
Yinzhen didn't say anything else, just said that he had official business to deal with and left Defei's palace.
Yixiu weakened when she heard what Yinzhen said. She was more frightened than ever before.
She ran out from behind the screen, eager to ask Concubine De for confirmation of an answer that she already knew.
Yixiu: "Aunt, Master knows, right? Master must know, that's why..."
Defei closed her eyes. She knew the child she gave birth to. Although Yinzhen did not say everything, he had already said everything.
Now Yixiu still holds the status of the prince's wife, which is the greatest honor he can give her.
She was not even sure whether her mother would be able to receive glory in the future.
De Fei looked at Yi Xiu who was in a state of panic and couldn't help but complain, "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Yixiu hurt Rouze, and it was Defei who cleaned up the mess in order to preserve the honor of the family.
Now that she saw that the family honor was about to be lost, she began to blame her niece.
Yixiu already had psychological problems, and now being accused by Concubine De like this, she was completely broken.
Yi Xiu: "Are you blaming me, aunt? I am so innocent! If it weren't for you for the honor of the family, I wouldn't have ended up like this! When you ignored my face and my feelings and let my sister seduce the prince, didn't you ever think about this day from the beginning to the end?"
"Shouldn't my sister be dead? She knew that I was pregnant and couldn't stand any stimulation, but what did she do? She danced in the Taiye Lake and made the prince crazy! She was obviously engaged, why did she seduce my brother-in-law? She is a bitch!"
Defei: "Yixiu, shut up!"
Yixiu won't shut up at this moment.
Yixiu cried while laughing and laughed while crying, totally lacking the dignity of a prince's wife.
Yixiu: "My Honghui was so young, he was still so young, he was all I hoped for, but he didn't even have a doctor... She deserves to die! How damned she is! My Honghui's body hasn't even cooled down yet, but she was found to be pregnant! She's not only mean, she's also vicious!"
After Yixiu finished speaking, she burst into laughter, as if she was going crazy. Defei was afraid that her inappropriate words and actions would offend others, so she immediately sent her back to the palace and sent a nanny to look after her.
It was said that she was being watched, but in fact she was imprisoned. Jianqiu had also been severely reprimanded by Concubine De. As someone close to Concubine Yixiu, she naturally did not want anything to happen to her master.
Yinzhen didn't know what happened between Defei and Yixiu, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After knowing what Yixiu had done, all his respect for her was gone.
There was a time when he and Yixiu used to stick together for warmth. At that time, one of them was an unpopular prince, and the other was an unpopular concubine's daughter.
He also promised Yixiu that if she gave birth to a prince, he would make her his consort.
But the situation in the court changed rapidly, and he was walking on thin ice. If he had not taken advantage of the situation at the beginning, he would not have come this far.
Honghui...
Yinzhen suppressed the guilt in his heart. That was his first son, but he also became a victim.
But this is not an excuse for Yixiu to harm his descendants!
Knowing clearly that he was constrained by having many children, Yixiu, as his wife, did not think about helping him solve his problems, but instead held him back. How despicable!
Evil woman!
No matter what kind of disputes or storms, they can never hit Su Mianmian, and she has always lived a peaceful life.
After giving birth to four princes, she had completed most of her system tasks.
With two more children, she can rest assured. Even if she has more children in the future, it will be pure merit. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
Hong Sheng and his family are now the main force in taking care of the children. All eight children have gone to Changchun Garden to accompany Emperor Kangxi. She is really free of worries and can work hard to make money.
Not long after Su Mianmian gave birth, Wanyan also successfully gave birth to Yinzhen's legitimate son, a healthy little prince.
All the prescriptions used during the confinement period were kindly provided by Su Mianmian. Wanyan recovered her health quickly. Not only that, after the confinement period, her complexion became even more rosy than before giving birth, and she was extremely beautiful.
Wanyan was impressed by the magic of Su Mianmian's prescription, and she felt relieved to cooperate with her to make money from the noble ladies.
Although Su Mianmian was a concubine, she had the title bestowed by Emperor Kangxi, as well as rewards from Emperor Kangxi, and Yinzhen's undivided love, so even the main concubine like Wanyan did not dare to look down on her.
In addition, Wanyan, who was on good terms with her, is now making a lot of money. She used to have some awkwardness with the Fourteenth Prince, but now she has the Fourteenth Prince in her hands. She hadn't been pregnant for many years, but she got pregnant and gave birth to a child not long after dating Su Mianmian.
He is the legitimate son and will inherit the title of Fourteenth Prince in the future.
No one is a fool. The value that Su Mianmian can bring to them is enough to make them forget Su Mianmian's background.
Besides, a husband is the glory of his wife, and a son is the glory of his mother. Now that Prince Yong's succession to the throne is set in stone, they would be crazy not to be on good terms with Su Mianmian.
Besides, everyone knows that being on good terms with Su Mianmian is like being on good terms with the God of Wealth, so when Su Mianmian interacts with these noble ladies, she can be said to be the center of attention.
Her business covers food, clothing, housing and transportation. It can be said that there is nothing she cannot do as long as she can think of it. Everyone can get satisfactory results from Su Mianmian's business.
Su Mianmian is doing very well, and so is Yinzhen. Time is speeding up in their eyes.
In the 61st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Emperor Kangxi passed the throne to his fourth son Yinzhen.
Yinzhen also sat on the throne and became the master of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Kangxi did not die in his original timeline, but abdicated.
Emperor Kangxi's sons were not harmed either. With their civil and military talents, they became good assistants to Yinzhen in governing the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Kangxi was not obsessed with elixirs as he had been in his later years, but was keen on raising children.
Su Mianmian gave birth to a total of fifteen sons for Yinzhen, but so far there is no little princess.
Emperor Kangxi felt that he was getting younger and younger as he spent every day with these fifteen children.
Yinzhen and his men had a large ship. After Emperor Kangxi abdicated, he took Hongsheng and others out for fun on the ship. The youngest prince among them wanted to join in the fun and insisted on going with them.
Emperor Kangxi was very happy about the princes' closeness to him and took them out to sea for fun.
Emperor Kangxi's concubines were also sent to live in Changchun Garden. Those who had children lived outside the palace with their children, while those who did not have children lived in Changchun Garden.
When Emperor Kangxi went out to sea, he took Concubine De with him, and did not bring any other concubines with him.
Emperor Kangxi became the Supreme Emperor, but Concubine De did not become the Empress Dowager.
She was still Emperor Kangxi's Defei because when Yinzhen ascended the throne he wanted to make Su Mianmian the queen, but she disagreed.
The reason why Defei opposed it was naturally because of Yixiu. She had been fighting for the honor of her family for so many years. Now that Yinzhen has ascended the throne, Yixiu should be made the queen. How could Su Mianmian be made the queen?
However, Yinzhen refused to give in. He said that Yixiu was morally flawed and that not deposing her and keeping her in the palace was already giving her face. He would never make her the queen.
Yinzhen: "If mother does not want Yixiu's virtue to be known to the world, she should accompany Khan Ama to the sea in peace. Otherwise, the Ulanara family will really have no glory to speak of."
Defei was almost mad at Yinzhen to death. She wanted to make trouble with Yinzhen and use filial piety to pressure him.
However, Emperor Kangxi was still alive and said that he had always been brooding over the death of Queen Tong. If she insisted on making a fuss, he would decide to have Yinzhen be married to Queen Tong and would have nothing to do with her from then on.
How could Concubine De agree to this? So even though she was unwilling, she had to obey.
Emperor Kangxi took Concubine De out to sea with him, which was also his intention to take away any trouble for him.
Yinzhen naturally appreciated Emperor Kangxi's kindness.
In the palace, Emperor Kangxi agreed with all of Yinzhen's decisions, even if he wanted to make Su Mianmian the queen, he didn't care.
With his grandson's care for so many years, he was more and more optimistic about Su Mianmian, so Emperor Kangxi didn't interfere.
There is nothing to say about the fact that the biological mother of his favorite grandson must be the queen.
Su Mianmian was not raised to the banner, but was crowned queen as a Han banner woman.
The emperor and empress were worshipped together, and the crowds shouted "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress".
If he wasn't afraid of scaring everyone, Yinzhen would have wanted them all to shout "Long live the emperor".
The Manchus and the Han are one family, which is fully embodied in Su Mianmian.
The more he mastered and knew, the more motivated and urgent Yinzhen felt.
Because of Su Mianmian's existence, there were only two or three kittens in Yinzhen's harem.
Apart from Queen Su Mianmian, the only ones left are Concubine Qi Li Jingyan and Concubine Xin Lu Yingfeng.
The rest of those who had served Yinzhen had long been allowed to leave the palace by Yinzhen, and Yinzhen also prepared dowries for them, so they could live a good life even if they did not get married.
There are few masters in the palace and not many palace servants are needed, which greatly saves expenses.
After sitting on the throne, Yinzhen had a lot to do. Before he could realize his ambitions, some confused officials said that it was time to hold a beauty contest for the new emperor.
Yinzhen and Su Mianmian had been in love for many years, and he felt offended when he heard about the selection of talents. But then he thought that the royal family was still needed, so he nodded and agreed to the selection.
However, he stipulated that women under the age of sixteen would not participate in the draft.
When Su Mianmian heard about the talent show, her eyes lit up, because she had seen a lot of fragments over the years and wanted to see whether those in the fragments actually existed.
