Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 73 Kangxi's Harem Wins Everyday

When Yinyi was conferred the title of Prince Rui, he was still quite calm. However, when he learned that many of his brothers were subsequently rewarded, he and An Ning became uneasy.

Both of them had a hunch that if there were no accidents, the appointment of a crown prince should be a safe bet.

In the spring of the 59th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi first appointed An Ning as Imperial Noble Consort, and then appointed Yin Yi as Crown Prince. That year, Yin Yi was not yet 25 years old.

At the same time, Kangxi began to vigorously promote new planting methods and improved rice seeds. With such actions, Kangxi also did a good job in promoting the throne. As soon as Yinyi was established as the crown prince, his position was basically stable.

It can be said that as long as Yinyi does not think of rebelling, his position as crown prince will be very stable.

The Fourth Prince completely accepted his fate. There was nothing he could do. Unless Yin Yi died suddenly, he would have no chance. However, he could not, dared not, and had no ability to murder the Crown Prince.

Anyway, Yin Yi had no grudges against him. As for the fight for the throne, the confrontation between the two was mostly benign, and they even admired each other.

Although the Fourth Prince was somewhat unwilling, he still accepted the result.

As for the Fourteenth Prince, he was stunned after getting the news. He was still fighting on the front line, but the Crown Prince had been decided and his position was so stable. How could he fight for it?

Who could have thought that the battle for the throne, which was initially started by the deposed crown prince and the eldest prince, would ultimately result in the winner being Yinyi? You know, Yinyi was not even born when the two started fighting.

It can only be said that life is unpredictable, but Yinyi's position as the crown prince is very stable. No one would be so stupid as to pull down another crown prince, and Kangxi would not easily depose the crown prince again.

Changchun Palace, after An Ning was canonized as Imperial Noble Consort, Kangxi came over that same evening.

An Ning is already over 40 years old, but time has been particularly kind to her. It is said that with the passage of time, one's appearance ages, but An Ning, on the contrary, becomes more and more outstanding as she gets older.

Kangxi: "So many years have passed, and my beloved concubine is still the same. I am old."

It is impossible for Kangxi to stay young forever. Although An Ning is there, she is not omnipotent, and the years have left traces on his face.

"Your Majesty is not old. In my concubine's eyes, Your Majesty is still as majestic as ever."

"Are you surprised that I didn't make you the queen?"

An Ning shook her head and said with a smile: "I, the Imperial Noble Concubine, feel unworthy of this. Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

"For so many years, my beloved concubine has always been humble. I know what kind of person you are. You don't have to be afraid. I originally wanted to make my beloved concubine the queen, but I was afraid that I would lose three queens. I want my beloved concubine to accompany me for a long time."

Kangxi felt that he was unlucky with his wife, and he was afraid that if he made An Ning queen, he would lose her, which would be a shame.

"Your Majesty, I, the Imperial Concubine, am extremely content!"

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi couldn't sleep. Thinking about the scene when she paid respect to An Ning during the day, she woke up her trusted nanny.

"I thought that this was the end of my life in the harem, but I didn't expect that a royal concubine would pop up in the end, and the power in the harem that I had held for half my life was gone!"

Yes, because An Ning became the Imperial Noble Consort, Kangxi gave the Phoenix Seal to An Ning and all the palace power was given to An Ning.

Although the four concubines were reluctant to give up their power, she was the prince's biological mother. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to give it promptly, and the handover went very smoothly.

"Your Highness, you can think positively. The Emperor is now over sixty years old, and the Crown Prince's position is stable. Your Highness can be less frightened. In the past few years, our Ninth Master followed the Eighth Master, and you were worried a lot during those years.

Now that the crown prince has been chosen, the Ninth Master has a good relationship with the crown prince, especially in the past two years, the two families have had a lot of exchanges, maybe in the future the queen will be able to leave the palace and live with the two masters."

When Concubine Yi heard this, she thought it made sense.

After entering the palace for decades, Concubine Yi is not without longing for freedom. It would be a good thing if she could leave the palace and live with her son in the future.

Moreover, she felt that this possibility was very high. There were too many concubines in Kangxi's harem. If Kangxi passed away in the future, there might not be enough room for the concubines.

That night, Concubine Yi secretly had a very rebellious idea. She hoped that Kangxi would die soon.

She has spent enough time in the palace over the years, as for her relationship with Kangxi?

She did feel a little bit when she was young, but Kangxi was old now, and now he was served by young girls. Concubine Yi was not a fool, so how could she place her feelings on the emperor?

Yonghe Palace, where Concubine De lived.

Compared to Concubine Yi who was relatively calm, Concubine De seemed less calm. She had quite a conflict with An Ning. Besides, if An Ning hadn't intervened, the position of empress dowager would most likely have been hers.

Defei favored the youngest son, Fourteenth Prince, although she did not understand that Fourteenth Prince had no chance of succeeding to the throne. But in her opinion, Kangxi's final choice would be between Fourth Prince, Fourteenth Prince and Sixteenth Prince.

The Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were both her sons, but the one who was made the Crown Prince was Yinyi. The greater the hopes that Concubine De had before, the greater her disappointment is now.

That was the position of the empress dowager, an existence that the emperor had to be filial to, the most noble woman in the world.

But things were already a foregone conclusion, and she couldn't even show her unhappiness. Also, the thought of having to pay her respects to An Ning in the future made her hate it even more.

Thinking of this, Defei couldn't help but vent her anger on the Fourth Lady Dong E. If she hadn't caused such a scene during the selection, how could the current situation have occurred? Her daughter-in-law had become a tough opponent. It was Dong E's fault.

Next, Concubine De began to find fault with Dong E.

As for Dong E, she was quite surprised when she knew that the Sixteenth Prince had become the Crown Prince, but she soon calmed down, thinking that An Ning was really lucky and was born to be a phoenix!

She even lived a better life in this life than in her previous one. The Queen could not compare to the Empress Dowager. To be honest, it was she who made it possible. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she found it to be to start over again. How could it not be ridiculous to make wedding dresses for others?

After Yinyi became the crown prince, he had to move into the palace, namely the Yuqing Palace. If possible, Yinyi didn't really want to move, but he had to move regardless of whether he wanted to or not.

After moving into the palace, An Ning began to teach Jin Yao how to handle palace affairs. Honghui almost lived in Changchun Palace. On the issue of educating Honghui, Kangxi, Yinyi, and even Jin Yao's mother all approved of An Ning.

As for not keeping children in the hands of women, we can only say that this is a rule to be followed later.

Yinyi's position is stable, but this does not mean that he will definitely ascend the throne. In fact, the existence of the prince will dilute the emperor's power to a certain extent. Kangxi likes Yinyi, but he does not like anyone to share power.

In addition, Kangxi was now obsessed with "benevolent governance", but his "benevolent governance" did not extend to the people, and he was very tolerant of corrupt officials, which made Yinyi difficult to accept.

In this regard, Yinyi was similar to Yinzhen, both of whom could not tolerate these corrupt officials.

Since An Ning became the Imperial Noble Consort, Kangxi came to Changchun Palace less frequently. If Kangxi had lived another ten or twenty years, Yinyi would probably have been the second deposed crown prince. By that time, the Qing Dynasty's administration would have become even more corrupt.

Yin Yi frowned.

An Ning also felt that Kangxi was becoming confused and aging.

There are some people who don't want to retire, so An Ning has to help them.
