No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Concubine De was trembling all over, as if she saw the disgust coming from Emperor Kangxi.

It is said that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, but no one wants to face the "thunder" directly.

She didn't want to experience the shame of that day again.

If her son chose to contradict the Emperor, she would definitely not choose him.

The Fourth Master paused, turned his head to look at her, and sneered, "Hasn't Your Majesty made a choice once?"

"Then this time, it's up to my son to make the choice."

As a mother, you've already given up your child once.

As a son, of course you can give up your mother.

The Fourth Master said nothing more, turned around and disappeared into the narrow palace path.

Only when the figure disappeared did Defei stagger back two steps and was steadily supported by Grandma Gao.

"What kind of enemy have I given birth to!" Defei suppressed her tears and returned to the palace with the support of Nanny Gao.

She leaned on the chaise longue and thought about when the fourth child was taken away.

She gave birth to the child with great difficulty. In the two days before the birth, she could only hide in the quilt and cry secretly.

His Majesty treated her very well, but it was not as good as the rules in the palace.

It is a rule left in the palace that concubines and below are not allowed to raise children on their own.

Even though this palace has only existed for two generations of emperors, the rules are even more important than those of the emperors themselves.

But the Emperor promised her that if she gave birth to a prince, she would be promoted to a concubine.

There are few princes in the palace and it is difficult to support them, so such a good thing can happen. She has come at the right time.

Look at those who have given birth to several children. So what? They still don’t have a place.

"He is blaming me," Defei said with a pang of pain in her heart.

She wondered what could be done?

She was just a small noblewoman and was not qualified to raise her own children.

But she couldn't say it, because other people's children were also taken away to be adopted, and their biological mothers could still love and care for them.

Only she can't do it.

Grandma Gao quickly rubbed her chest and said, "My Lady, the Fourth Master certainly didn't mean that."

She saw with her own eyes how the mother and son gradually became estranged, and she felt that both of them were at fault.

Now the mother and son can't be close or distant, can't be close or distant, it's really an injustice...

The Fourth Master left Yonghe Palace angrily, feeling extremely dissatisfied.

He has no fate with parents in this life. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't love him either.

Now that I've grown up, I've actually accepted it.

If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. It is impossible for people to have everything.

But he didn't want to be without Cha Cha, not just to have her and love her.

He hoped that she could stand beside him openly and legitimately, instead of having another person between them.

This is a very simple matter that does not affect others and does not bring about any conflicts of interest.

Just get the emperor’s nod, that’s all!

But without any reason or explanation, the emperor just disagreed.

And what about his mother?

She clearly knew what he felt, but she was unwilling to even ask for him.

He has been jumping around outside the palace for so long, trying to find out what is going on.

They both saw it, but no one was willing to give him a reason.

The Fourth Master stood outside the Qianqing Palace, feeling powerless.

Looking up, the plaque was shining with golden light, which was the most noble light in the world.

Sitting there was the most noble man in the world, also his father.

If he was just an ordinary father, he would just rush in regardless of everything, hold his feet and kneel down to beg him.

Maybe he will kick you and scold you, but you will get what you want.

But that was still Jun, so he could only wait outside.

Waiting for him to discuss matters with ministers, waiting for him to handle government affairs, waiting for him to summon...

Emperor Kangxi finished his work, rubbed his brows and asked, "Is the fourth brother still outside?"

As soon as the Fourth Master entered Yonghe Palace, Emperor Kangxi knew the news.

They had a quarrel, went out in anger, and waited at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. All these news reached his ears at the same time.

But if he didn't want to see it, he could only wait.

Liang Jiugong replied, "Yes, I've been standing there for three hours."

I didn't even have lunch.

He didn't say this, but Emperor Kangxi could guess it.

He sighed: "This child has been stubborn since he was young!"

In fact, he felt he owed the fourth child.

This feeling wasn't very obvious before, but in the past two years he has been filial and close to me.

In Yonghe Palace, he felt the atmosphere of "neither father nor mother loves him".

"Forget it, it's not his fault," Emperor Kangxi closed his eyes and sighed.

If it weren't for the eldest brother's involvement, the fourth brother would have just nodded and the matter would have been over.

May be...

"How's things going over there, Boss?" he asked after a moment's hesitation.

Liang Jiugong said: "The prince went to Concubine Hui and chose Zhang Haoshang's daughter."

"The portrait and booklet have been submitted by Consort Hui."

Emperor Kangxi didn't care at all who his father chose as his successor, as long as it wasn't the annoying Wu.

He knew a little about the boss's deep affection for Irgen Jueluo, but he chose Zhang so easily.

From this perspective, what Yi said may not be true.

But it is also possible that his orders or power and status as the emperor are higher than the boss's feelings.

Then, let’s try the fourth one.

Emperor Kangxi thought so, asked someone to grind ink, and drafted two imperial edicts on the spot.

"Call the fourth brother in," he said in a low voice.

The Fourth Master was almost exhausted from standing outside, and was finally invited in with a cold sweat.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a thud and did not get up after paying his respects.

Emperor Kangxi sighed and said, "Liang Jiugong, show the imperial edict to the fourth brother."

The Fourth Master didn't understand, so he respectfully took the imperial edict handed over by Liang Jiugong and glanced at it quickly.

This is an imperial decree granting a marriage. Everything on it has been filled out, except for the surname column, which is left blank.

"What does this mean?" The Fourth Master's mind was in a mess.

Then there was a burst of ecstasy, the imperial decree granting marriage without the name filled in!

In other words, he can choose the candidate for this concubine himself!

He raised his head with great joy and looked at Emperor Kangxi: "Emperor...Emperor Father..."

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, I have given you the imperial edict. It is up to you to decide what to choose," Emperor Kangxi signaled Liang Jiugong to give him the second imperial edict.

The Fourth Master treasured the scroll in his hand, held it in his arms, and then took the second one.

At just one glance, his pupils shrank, and the three words above - Prince Yong - immediately caught his attention.

His face suddenly turned red - no one can remain calm in the face of power, especially men.

Emperor Kangxi said in a neutral tone, "The choice is yours. Choose the second one and wait patiently for the marriage."

"Choose the first one, and you won't receive the second one."

"It's your choice."
