I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 268: Startling by Each Step 9 (5)

While Yinzhen was waiting anxiously, Lingrong finally married into the family in the 34th year of Kangxi's reign.

Ling Rong's married life can almost be said to be perfect. Her husband treats her wholeheartedly, her brother-in-law has always had a good impression of her because of their "patient friendship" over the years, and her mother-in-law treats her very kindly because the ninth brother finally stops following the eighth brother as a follower and chooses to return to their small home where they are hungry.

But the reason why I use the word "almost perfect" is that there is still a little imperfection. Lingrong's dilemma comes from Kangxi.

Lingrong seriously suspected that Kangxi could not bear to see his sons and daughters-in-law living in harmony because he had lost three wives.

Otherwise, look at her uncles and brothers-in-law who have already married and taken concubines. Except for this one in her family, which one of them didn't have a concubine first and then a wife? Many wives not only have a concubine before they get married, but also have a concubine as a ready-made mother as soon as they get married.

But even in their family, the current good situation is only possible because Yinzhen repeatedly declined Kangxi's offer of a concubine.

Even if Yinzhen wanted to be alone with him, at least for now, even if he was so determined, Kangxi was still like a wicked mother-in-law. He would always want to send people into their backyard just because he was a little weak.

Lingrong was so angry several times that she wanted to kill Lao Deng on the same day. Fortunately, Yinzhen was firm enough.

Alas, what kind of world is this? Her beloved mother-in-law hasn’t said anything yet, and her father-in-law comes along to make trouble.

Ling Rong seriously suspected that Kang Mazi was traumatized by the childhood trauma brought by Concubine Dong E, and he couldn't bear to see a woman with the surname Dong E living too well, especially since this woman married his son.

Ling Rong secretly complained in her heart, no wonder in history, after the fourth brother ascended the throne, he could do such a thing as sending the eighth brother out to work, and when he left, he divorced his brother's wife. This is the root of the relationship!

I've never seen a father-in-law who is so long-legged. His son doesn't want a concubine, but he still insists on picking up a hoe to dig into his own wife. How disgusting!

Here we have to give a big compliment to Yinzhen. Lingrong hadn't given birth to a child in half a year after marriage, and Kangxi thought this was not acceptable. How could my son be childless?

It just so happened that the eighth son's family was in the same situation, so he immediately waved his hand and decided to add a few more positions to the families of his two sons.

It happened that Maertai Ruolan had a child at this time, so Lao Ba declined the offer.

The ninth son was a bachelor. He felt that his father was looking for trouble and was being unreasonable: "Father, I have only been married for half a year. Why are you so anxious? What's more, I don't have a throne to inherit. Why should I be so anxious to have a son?"

Good, good, good! Good, you little bastard, good for not having a throne to inherit!

Yinzhen's words really irritated his old father, and he asked Laojiu again: "Yinzhen, do you know you are wrong?"

Not only did Yinzhen not know he was wrong, he even said something arrogantly: "Is what I said wrong? Isn't it enough that the Crown Prince and the second brother have a legitimate son? Besides, didn't the Crown Princess and the second sister-in-law also marry for several years and still not give birth to a legitimate son? My fifth sister-in-law has been married for so many years and still has nothing to show for it. Why does the Emperor always keep an eye on my son's backyard?"

The more Yinzhen talked back, the angrier Kangxi got: "Is it wrong for me to care about you? Besides, the Crown Princess and your fifth sister-in-law are both virtuous people. Even if they themselves can't have children, they didn't stop the masters of their families from taking concubines. How can it be like the one in your family? She can't have children because of her poor health, but she still stops her master from taking concubines. It's simply..."

"Your Majesty! You know very well that this is what I mean and it has nothing to do with Lingrong!" Seeing that Kangxi was about to be harsh again, Yinzhen quickly interrupted him before he could finish his words.

Although the Eighth Prince tried to smooth things over, Kangxi and Yinzhen were both passionate people, and the father and son eventually parted ways unhappily.

Lingrong was speechless after hearing the news. Not having a child for the time being was her consideration. Kangxi had always been trying to steal her away. If she got pregnant at this time, and it was inconvenient for her, wouldn't this be a reason for Kangxi to take a concubine?

She originally thought that Yinzhen was just an ordinary prince, unlike those who had ambitions for the throne. He would be an idle prince in the future, so it was not so important to have children sooner or later. Yinzhen was not the crown prince, so his children carried different meanings, which were important to the country, the family, and the party struggle.

But who knew that when Kangxi wanted to find fault, he would take advantage of the situation and make himself unhappy whenever he got the chance.

Although she cursed in her heart, "Old Kangxi is so idle, he just stares at other people's backyards for nothing", Lingrong still acted ashamed and annoyed in front of Yinzhen: "This matter is all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have quarreled with the emperor. Otherwise, I will go and apologize to the emperor. I will take the initiative to apologize. If the emperor is in a better mood, maybe he won't blame you."

He said a lot of words to express his apologies, but not a single word allowed him to take a concubine.

What a joke. Who was Yinzhen fighting with Kangxi for? Not to mention that Lingrong herself was not willing to have another person between her and Yinzhen, if she gave in at this time, or took the initiative to give him a concubine, it would undoubtedly be a stab in the back of Yinzhen. Isn't this chilling?

If she compromised easily this time, Yinzhen would not only not think that he was magnanimous, but there might be a gap between the two of them in the future. He might even think, "Since you don't value this friendship between us, why didn't you tell me earlier? Instead, I had to have such a quarrel with the Emperor Father. No one will benefit from it."

So Lingrong just kept expressing her guilt.

Yinzhen saw his wife's frown and panic, and knew that she must be very uneasy. He felt that his wife was pitiful and innocent.

Holding his wife in his arms, Yinzhen gently smoothed her brows with his hand: "Today, I was impulsive and contradicted the emperor, it has nothing to do with you. The cause of this matter is not you. The emperor actually felt that his authority was challenged, so he called me over again and again. In fact, he just wanted to find an excuse to scold me.

I am also a person who cannot stand being wronged, and I am really impatient to be scolded by the Emperor every other day. I thought that instead of being scolded every other day, it would be better for me to take the initiative and confront him once and for all, so that the Emperor would be angry enough and give me the cold shoulder for a while, which might be a way to solve the problem once and for all. "

The more Yinzhen talked, the more he felt that this was the case. Afraid that his wife would think about herself again, he tried to bring it up with political affairs: "I had a big fight with the Emperor today, which is actually not a bad thing.

There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently, and the brothers above are vying for performance. I guess there will be more trouble. I don't want to fight for that position. Let the emperor ignore me for a while, just to avoid the gods fighting above, and I, a little devil, will suffer. I am happy to relax if I am not assigned any work. I have free days, so I can stay at home and accompany you more, isn't it good?"
