I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

"I'm just afraid that I've delayed your future again. I'll naturally be happy if you can spend more time with me." Lingrong snuggled softly into Yin'er's arms. She always felt that Kangxi didn't get the upper hand in that quarrel, and there must be a backup plan waiting for them afterwards.

However, there is actually nothing wrong with this.

Men always have a bit of a male chauvinism and heroic complex. In the general routine CEO novels, why does the male protagonist, a domineering CEO, choose the poor and innocent female protagonist over the rich and pretty second female lead?

Isn’t it because almost everyone around him forced him to be with the second female lead, which aroused his rebellious psychology?

Moreover, the heroine is so weak and helpless, and has no one to rely on except the domineering hero. The contrast between the strong and the weak, even if he originally has feelings for the second female lead, he will be pushed to the side of the little white flower heroine in the end.

Their current situation is very similar to the routine story of the domineering boss. Kangxi is just like the domineering boss's mother who always likes to meet the pretty girl heroine, throw her a check for one million, and say "Here is five million, take this money and leave my son". He always wants to stuff a few concubines into Yinzhen's arms no matter what.

Maybe originally their relationship was only 80% good, but with Kangxi's great help, it has suddenly become 100% good.

From this perspective, Lingrong felt that she should thank Kangxi. If Kangxi's methods were not so drastic, perhaps after a few years, her relationship with Yinzhen would have become dull, and without Kangxi's interference, Yinzhen himself might have wanted to take a concubine.

Kangxi's move completely pushed Yinzhen into his arms.

As it turns out, to some extent, Lingrong knew Kangxi quite well.

She said that Kangxi would have a backup plan, right?

really--

Originally, Kangxi conferred titles on his princes for the first time in the 37th year of Kangxi's reign. But he probably wanted Yinzhen to understand how serious the consequences would be if he didn't listen to his father, so he conferred titles on the princes ahead of time.

The eldest son Yinzhi was conferred the title of Duolo Prince, the third son Yinzhi was conferred the title of Duolo Prince, the fourth son Yinzhen, the fifth son Yinqi, the seventh son Yinyou, and the eighth son Yinsi were all conferred the title of Duolo Beile.

These were originally granted in the thirty-seventh year of history when the kings were given titles. However, in order to teach Yinzhen a lesson, Kangxi skipped him and directly conferred the title of Duroberel on the tenth prince who ranked right after him.

This... is a bit embarrassing.

The older brother who was ranked first was still a bald prince, but the tenth brother became a prince. The key point was that the relationship between the ninth and tenth brothers was quite good before. Although everyone with a discerning eye knew that Kangxi was blatantly retaliating against his son who did not listen to him, when the brothers really congratulated each other, the tenth brother could not help but feel a little awkward when facing Yinzhen.

When he first heard the news about the title of king, Yinzhen did feel embarrassed for a moment.

But fortunately, Lingrong had given him a heads-up in advance.

When Yinzhen thought back to when his wife had worriedly asked him to be more cautious when attending court these days, and when she had said that the emperor might have a backup plan, he was speechless at his nonchalant attitude.

What did he say at that time?

He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that after all, he was his father, they were father and son, how could there be any overnight hatred? He also laughed at Lingrong for being too cautious. Although the emperor's father had indeed gone too far in the affairs of his backyard recently, he actually loved them brothers very much.

At this time, except for the eldest prince and the crown prince who were a little older, the other princes had not yet emerged. Kangxi himself was still in his prime. Although he was a little strict in their schoolwork, he basically appeared as a kind father in front of the children.

Yinzhen is sometimes a little naive when it comes to family affection.

Just like in the original history, although he had no desire for that position, he emptied his family's savings and worked hard for the eighth brother. These well-known things are not mentioned.

Because he had a pretty good relationship with the Fourth Brother in the early days, he foolishly thought that the Fourth Brother would not do anything to him after the Fourth Brother ascended the throne.

Yes, in the early days, not only did the four and eight have a good relationship, but the relationship between the ninth and the fourth was also pretty good.

Many people know that Siba is their neighbor, but in fact, Laojiu’s mansion after leaving the palace is also adjacent to them.

Historically, the Ninth Prince's Mansion, located in Tieshishi Hutong, was not only adjacent to the Mansion of the Eighth Prince Yinsi to the north, but was also not far from the Mansion of Prince Yong Yinzhen (which was expanded into the Lama Temple after Yinzhen ascended the throne) which was located near Berlin Temple and adjacent to Yinsi's Mansion.

If they didn't have a good relationship, why would he ignore his own brother, the fifth brother, and build his mansion together with the fourth, eighth, and tenth brothers?

It was also because of this friendship that even after the Fourth Brother broke up with the Eighth Brother because of the issue of moving, the Ninth Brother was still very foolish and naive and thought that even though everyone had different positions in the fight for the throne, they still had some friendship from their youth, and after the new emperor was decided, even if they were not reused, at most they would be turned into idle princes.

Who would have thought that after the fourth son ascended the throne, he would be so cruel and heartbreaking. Right from the start, he changed his fate to Seth Black, and the most cruel thing was that he changed his name to "Nasty Ghost", and the fourth son even asked Yinqi, Yinzhen's brother, to do it.

It is completely reasonable to say that Yinzhen is somewhat naive. The fourth brother had already cut him into a blank board with unfounded charges and renamed him "Seth Black". At this point, Yinzhen was still blindly optimistic and thought that the fourth brother was just scaring him.

Linghu Shiyi, a poor man from Shanxi who had been helped by Yinzhen at that time, learned of his situation and came from afar, disguised as a businessman, pretending to want to see him for important matters, but was rejected by Yinzhen.

This person did not give up and still wanted to repay his kindness. So he sent a letter through Yinzhen's eunuch. In this letter, the person wrote that the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi all said that Yinzhen was good, and heard that Yinzhen was in trouble, and expressed their willingness to assist a righteous ruler and not to follow an unrighteous ruler. He wanted to gather the soldiers and civilians of Shanxi and Shaanxi to save their benefactor.

Who knew that after reading it, Yinzhen, the iron-headed man, returned the post to the person and told him, "We brothers have no reason to fight for the world. If you say this again, I will send people to arrest you."

He drove the people away and pretended nothing had happened, but after arriving in the capital, he was imprisoned and tortured to death not long after.

Lingrong also knew that although Yinzhen agreed to her on the surface after she said that Kangxi had a backup plan, he actually did not take it to heart. But she still had to say it.

Yinzhen had to make a mistake first, so that he would know that it was right to listen to his wife. The word "Emperor" in front of Ama should not be taken lightly.

With this lesson learned, I just hope that next time he encounters a similar situation, he will remember that the Heavenly Family is ruthless, and recall his embarrassment when all the brothers congratulated each other this time.
