Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Yinreng released the children from Xian'an Palace and returned to Yuqing Palace to talk with them. He finally calmed the children's uneasy hearts that had been anxious for some time.

The next day, Yinreng dressed early, put a list in his pocket, and prepared to attend the morning court.

When everyone saw the prince, who had not appeared for several months, no matter what they thought, they all came forward respectfully to pay their respects.

However, many people felt uncomfortable when they saw the current prince.

Especially those "interested people" who support the re-election of the crown prince.

Originally, they thought they would see a gloomy and depressed prince, but unexpectedly, the prince they met today was not only as handsome and bright as before, but also had a touch of peace and indifference.

Now that Prince Zhi Yinzhen is imprisoned, all his connections have been transferred to Yinsi.

When those people saw the current prince, they felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

I originally thought that the prince would become irritable and depressed because of the previous events, but I didn't expect that after this incident, the prince would completely calm down.

The previous prince was difficult to deal with, and the current prince is even more difficult to deal with!

After attending court, Kangxi saw the crown prince standing at the first seat below, and the satisfaction and relief in his eyes were extremely obvious.

It also made those who were already uneasy feel even more depressed.

At this time, Yinreng didn't care at all what those people were thinking.

After the morning court session, Yinreng followed Kangxi closely to the Qianqing Palace.

Then he shamelessly had breakfast in the Qianqing Palace, as if there was no barrier between father and son at all.

Kangxi felt very happy when he saw that the prince still treated him with deep affection.

After the meal, Kangxi and Yinreng drank tea brought by the palace servants.

Kangxi looked at his son below in a very good mood.

"Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?"

Yinreng slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

Then he gave a flattering smile to his father, the emperor.

"Khan Ama, I don't want to disturb you from handling government affairs."

"But these days, my son and the Crown Princess have been living quite comfortably, though it's a bit unfair to the four children."

"Feng Sheng'e is fine. He's already over ten years old and has experienced a lot, so he can still hold his own."

"But the three little ones are probably frightened by their son and their mother."

Kangxi listened to his son's words. Although he and the Crown Princess had spent some comfortable time together, everyone knew that it was because he, the emperor, ordered the detention of the Crown Prince that this happened.

Although the prince did not directly say that he was heartless at the time, Kangxi still felt a little uncomfortable and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that the prince was dissatisfied with me?

However, before he could test the prince's current attitude, Yinreng took the initiative to speak.

"Khan Ama, my son and the Crown Princess have discussed this privately."

"Now Feng Sheng'e is old, and it is almost time for him to marry a wife."

"The affairs of Yuqing Palace, as well as matters concerning the children, have always been handled by the Crown Princess."

"The Crown Princess is also another backbone of our Yuqing Palace."

"Look, a few days ago, my son and the Crown Princess were away, and the children felt like they had lost their backbone."

"My son and the Crown Princess think that Feng Sheng'e should marry a wife as soon as possible."

"Not only can I help the Crown Princess with some of the affairs of Yuqing Palace, but as the eldest sister-in-law, I can also take care of the younger brothers and sisters."

"If my son and the Crown Princess need to be away from Yuqing Palace in the future, Feng Sheng'e and his wife will be able to comfort their younger brothers and sisters."

When Kangxi heard what the prince said, the slight doubt in his heart completely disappeared.

He said with a smile: "After the new year, our Feng Sheng'e will be fourteen years old, and it is indeed time for him to marry a wife."

Then he frowned slightly and said, "But the next draft will be in 1949, so there are still two years left."

"How about I choose a concubine for Hongxi first?"

Hongxi's identity is somewhat special.

The current regulations are that a prince can have two concubines, while a county prince and a prince's son can only have one concubine.

As the eldest son of the crown prince, Hongxi could not be named the heir apparent, and the emperor had never named him the crown prince.

However, because he was the eldest son of the crown prince and was favored by Kangxi, there was no problem for him to marry a concubine.

And it was Kangxi who took the initiative to speak.

However, Yinreng and his concubine had already discussed it and decided to give Fengsheng'e a wife directly.

As for concubines, it depends on his own wishes in the future.

The reason why they married Feng Sheng'e off so early was to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

At the same time, it is also to allow the two to develop feelings early so that Fengsheng's backyard will not be too chaotic in the future.

In addition, the list of candidates for consorts they had arranged in advance included all legitimate daughters of large families, who were just suitable to be consorts.

If she becomes a concubine, it would be a slap in the face of the woman and the family behind them.

When the emperor sees the candidates above, he will probably have to choose a new concubine.

As a result, the matter of arranging the marriage was delayed, and the good opportunity at this time when Khan Ama felt guilty about himself was missed. It is likely that the matter of arranging the marriage will be more likely to encounter twists and turns in the future.

Don’t let it happen that after all the twists and turns, your eldest son ends up marrying a Mongolian wife. Yinreng will be so angry that he will die first!

So when he heard that Kangxi suggested to give him a concubine first, Yinreng politely refused at the first opportunity.

Seeing Yinreng's firm attitude, Kangxi did not mention the matter of the concubine again.

Yinreng directly took out the prepared list of candidates and asked his father to review it.

Kangxi looked at the candidates on the list: Nianhulu, Hesheli, Guwalgiya, Tonggiya, Fucha... Wow, they are all great Manchu families.

And they are not ordinary branches, they are almost all branches of the main branch.

Kangxi looked at his son below with profound meaning.

"The prince has been prepared for this."

Yinreng chuckled.

"Khan Ama, this is about Feng Sheng'e getting married, my son must be prepared."

"Feng Sheng'e is my son's eldest son and Khan Ama's eldest grandson."

"With Feng Sheng'e's status, if the Fu Jin's status is lower, wouldn't that be degrading to our Feng Sheng'e?"

"Feng Sheng'e has lived in the Qianqing Palace for as long as he has in the Yuqing Palace since he was a child. You could say that he was raised by Khan Ama himself."

"Could it be that Khan Ama is willing to let Feng Sheng'e marry a princess from an ordinary family?"

Thinking of the grandson he had raised, Kangxi closed his eyes, tacitly agreeing to the list of candidates handed to him by Yinreng.

Kangxi asked, "Do you and the Crown Princess have a favorite candidate?"

Yinreng smiled and shook his head.

"My son and the Crown Princess think that each of them is good, but they can't decide who to choose."

"Isn't this just for Khan Ama to review?"

"My son's Crown Princess was chosen by Khan Ama. He and the Crown Princess are in perfect harmony. The Crown Princess is also completely devoted to him and has considerable abilities."

"My son thinks Khan Ama has good taste, and Feng Sheng'e also hopes that Khan Ama can choose a wife for him who suits his taste and is as good as his mother."

"So, my son has no choice but to trouble Khan Ama."
