SEC Chapter 291 Yixiu's Second Child
Chapter 291 Yixiu's Second Child
Ever since Yinreng fell ill, the situation in the court has become increasingly obvious.
Except for the party of Prince Zhi, all other princes secretly flocked to Yinsi.
Yixiu knew how things developed in her previous life, so she naturally saw it more clearly than others.
However, unlike in his previous life, Yinzhi, who supported Yinsi, has now turned to Yinzhen.
Yixiu went to the palace more frequently to pay her respects to Concubine De.
It has been nearly ten years since Yixiu was reborn, and Defei has also aged a lot.
However, compared to her previous life, her brows were much more relaxed in this life. She thought it was because her two sons got along well and she had less worries.
Moreover, since Yixiu came to pay her respects to Concubine De every day, she no longer had to see her annoying fourth son coming to pay his respects to her early in the morning. At last, she could sleep a little longer.
"Now, I feel that you are my daughter, and the fourth brother is just my son-in-law."
From this joke, we can see that Concubine De is in a good mood today.
Yixiu also continued, "Mother, what you said is not wrong. Now that I call you mother, and we get along like this every day, there is no difference between us and biological mother and daughter. Moreover, I treat you as my own mother."
Yixiu and Defei are closely related, so it is normal to think this way.
"Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Prince is here to see you." Aunt Zhuxi came in and said, "Now the Fourteenth Prince has become more and more filial, and he is getting closer and closer to the Fourth Prince."
Defei thought about how Yinzhen would come to pay his respects before dawn every day before he got married, and she thought it would be better for Yinzhen not to learn everything.
Yinzhen walked into Yonghe Palace and his eyes fell on Yixiu.
Although Yixiu is older now, she is more mature than the immature-looking fourth sister-in-law in her memory.
Peaceful, graceful, calm, self-controlled, clear-headed, and yet beautiful.
He felt that his fourth sister-in-law was more dignified and beautiful than the other sisters-in-law.
Yinzhen bowed politely and talked with Concubine De for a while.
When the time came, Yixiu and Yinzhen stood up and said goodbye at the same time.
The two looked at each other, then looked away.
Concubine De didn't notice anything. She smiled and asked Zhuxi to send them away.
Zhuxi only accompanied them to the gate of Yonghe Palace, and the two of them walked out of the palace together.
This was the first time they had been alone together like this since the New Year's party.
"Is Fourth Sister-in-law's foot okay?"
"It's ready."
Yinzhen laughed, "Hehehe," and said, "Then I feel relieved."
It is the time when the seasons change from spring to summer. It is chilly and there is a little wind and sand.
Yixiu stayed in Yonghe Palace, sitting in a charcoal basin for a long time and was sweating slightly. Now when she came out and was blown by the wind, she felt a little cold.
She shivered slightly, and Yinzhen saw it and regretted that he didn't wear a cloak today.
"Fourth sister-in-law, please go this way."
Yinzhen let Yixiu walk on the other side of him, so that when the wind blew, he could more or less help Yixiu block some of the wind.
Yixiu walked over, but after taking two steps, she felt dizzy in front of her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Yixiu felt dizzy.
Her feet went weak.
Yinzhen didn't receive Yixiu last time, so he paid extra attention this time.
He quickly reached out his hand and Yixiu fell into his arms.
Then he watched Yixiu slowly close her eyes in his arms.
-----------------
"Fourth sister-in-law!!!"
Yinzhen's eyes were red with anger.
"Fourth sister-in-law!"
He held Yixiu in his arms and ran back to Yonghe Palace.
"Eniang, Eniang."
When Defei first saw Yinzhen holding Yixiu, she was frightened.
"What are you doing?"
The next second, Concubine De saw Yixiu, who was unconscious in Yinzhen's arms.
"What happened to Yixiu?"
Yinzhen placed Yixiu on the couch and said, "Sister-in-law suddenly fainted while walking just now. I don't know what happened. I have asked Jianqiu to summon Doctor Wen."
Aunt Zhuxi asked Concubine De, "Your Majesty, should I go and tell the Fourth Prince?"
Concubine De said, "Don't be anxious yet. Wait until Doctor Wen finishes his diagnosis, then tell him."
Wen Xumo came over quickly. When he saw Yixiu lying on the couch, he became very anxious.
But since Defei and Yinzhen were both here, he didn't dare reveal anything, for fear of causing trouble for Yixiu.
After Wen Xumo finished taking Yixiu's pulse, he had already made a judgment in his mind.
But he was not happy with the result.
He forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, Madam Defei, the Fourth Lady is pregnant!"
Concubine De stood up suddenly, her face full of joy.
"This is a good thing, this is a good thing."
Yixiu had been married to Yinzhen for more than ten years and had only one child.
Now that she is more and more accepting of Yixiu, she naturally hopes that she and Yinzhen can have more children.
Now, finally, there is good news again.
Wen Xumo glanced at the motionless Yinzhen and was surprised to find that his expression was the same as his own, both of them looked as if they had lost their parents.
Although Yinzhen was still confused about his own feelings, Wen Xumo could see it at a glance.
Yinzhen seemed to have an extraordinary affection for Yixiu.
However, whether it was him or Yinzhen, their identities made it impossible for them to be with Yixiu in this life.
All we can say is that they are brothers in distress.
Since it was such good news, Aunt Zhuxi hurried to inform Yinzhen.
Yinzhen strode into Yonghe Palace with a look of joy on his face.
Although there were good news coming from the mansion one after another during this period, in Yinzhen's heart, no one else's pregnancy could make him as happy as Yixiu's.
He used to think he wasn't working hard enough.
Now it seems that his efforts have finally paid off.
"Mother, when we get back later, I'm going to give the people in the mansion a good treat. Mother, do you want to share in the joyous occasion with me in the palace?"
Yinzhen was happy, and he was not as reserved and distant as usual when talking to Concubine De.
Concubine De rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why do I need you to pay for it? I will reward you myself."
Yinzhen came up and said, "Fourth brother, mother doesn't need you to pay for the reward, but my people do."
Yinzhen patted his shoulder and said, "Go away, kid, stop making trouble. When you have your own wife, you can reward her yourself."
Yixiu woke up and happened to see the brothers joking like this.
She couldn't help but smile.
In this life, Yinzhen did not become a helper to Yinsi, and the relationship between the brothers became better and better. It can be seen that Honghui's path to the throne became smoother and smoother.
-----------------
After resting in Yonghe Palace for half a day, Yixiu was about to go back with Yinzhen.
Just as he entered the palace, Emperor Kangxi's reward arrived.
Emperor Kangxi had failed to keep a good Wenquxing by his side, so he had some compensatory psychology towards his son.
So the reward this time is particularly generous.
As for those who are jealous of this, there are countless of them.
For example, Rouze.
For example, Yinreng.
-----------------
Emperor Kangxi rewarded Yinzhen, and his brothers congratulated Yinzhen.
Yinzhen's high spirits made him seem even more pitiful.
Now, all those he trusted have been sentenced to death, and the court officials who had been close to him have now distanced themselves from him.
No matter how Yinreng thought about it, he felt that his time was running out and he was deserted by his friends and relatives.
"Citi, you are the only one who won't betray me."
Yinreng is now quite old and has fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
However, he lived a life of luxury, and his hands were kept exceptionally fair and tender, caressing Citi's equally fair face.
Huaqi leaned softly in Yinreng's arms.
"Your Highness, Citi will never betray you for the rest of my life."
Although the meeting between Huaqi and Yinreng was deliberately arranged by the heroine, during their long time together, Yinreng was so sincere to him and treated him so well.
How could Citigroup not be tempted?
In front of Yinreng, Citi felt for the first time that he was not a lowly person.
It can even be described as a treasure.
Yinreng would give him everything he liked.
The things he was afraid of, Yinreng helped him overcome them little by little.
If he is sad, Yinreng will also go to find the source.
Why isn't it love?
He, Huaqi, could not give birth to children for His Highness like Concubine Tong Jia did.
But he would not be jealous of them, he only hoped that the prince would have many children and grandchildren and live a happy life.
Yinreng also knew that Citi was a man who knew his limits, but at this moment he was even more sensible, which made people feel distressed.
Never mind, let them all be destroyed.
The emperor didn't love his son at all.
He might as well be with Citibank and his concubines every day.
Yinreng simply started to give up.
-----------------
For several days, Yinreng did not go to court.
This time, the impeachment memorial no longer appeared quietly on Kangxi's desk, but a minister directly stood up during the court session.
"I have heard that these days, there is a lot of revelry in the Prince's Mansion every night, with many young men and women hanging out together. Even outside, you can hear the sound of stringed instruments. It is really absurd!"
"Your Majesty, please give more orders and admonish the Crown Prince, so as not to cause unrest in the court and the country!"
The person who was speaking was a great Han scholar who was highly valued by Emperor Kangxi. He had been famous among the people in his early years. Later, in order to show that the Manchus and the Han were one family, Kangxi specially ordered someone to invite him from the people to work in the Ministry of Rites.
The old man is now over fifty years old. His gray beard trembles, and he looks like he is speaking with great earnestness.
"Is the prince really like this?"
Some ministers who were not well-informed inquired privately.
At the beginning, the prince was also an excellent heir to the Qing Dynasty.
Although he did not seem as outstanding as other princes later on, he never did anything absurd.
At first, Emperor Kangxi suppressed these rumors.
Although he had known about Yinreng's relationship with Citibank for a long time, he still believed that Yinreng was a sensible man.
But now things are becoming more and more absurd.
If Yinreng only sought pleasure with his wives and concubines, it could be explained by human ethics.
But now he was actually hanging out with that male favorite all day long, which made Emperor Kangxi feel even more ashamed and felt that he had failed in educating his son.
-----------------
After Emperor Kangxi left the court, he went to Concubine Yi's palace.
Concubine Yi served him a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup.
"Your Majesty, please drink some of this moisturizing Tremella and Pear Soup."
"Although it's out of season, good things have the same effect no matter when you drink them."
After Emperor Kangxi drank a bowl of it, his restless heart finally calmed down.
"Alas, tell me about Baocheng. The older he gets, the more he worries me."
Concubine Yi massaged Emperor Kangxi to help him calm down.
"Your Majesty, this matter really cannot be blamed on the prince."
"The prince used to be such a good heir to the throne. Ever since Citibank came around, the prince has started to act ridiculously."
"It can be seen that the one who was wrong was not the prince, but the male favorite who seduced the prince into going astray."
Seeing that Emperor Kangxi's expression had relaxed somewhat, Concubine Yi continued, "The emperor was always afraid that dealing with that male favorite would hurt the relationship between father and son."
"Now that I think about it, how could the prince really have any grudge against you, Your Majesty?"
"Even if we really deal with that male favorite, the prince will be angry for a few days. How can a father and son have a grudge that lasts overnight? The others are all outsiders."
Concubine Yi said of her son, "Yinzhen did a few wrong things, but in the end he did not alienate himself from me and the emperor."
Emperor Kangxi's mood improved a little.
Yes, he is Yinreng’s father, and even if he has to deal with a few people around Yinreng, it is also a parent’s love for their son and they will make long-term plans for him.
Although he didn't say anything to Concubine Yi openly, Concubine Yi's words eventually made him have other thoughts.
He secretly made up his mind to deal with the male favorite so that he would not seduce Yinreng and distract him from his work.
-----------------
Emperor Kangxi did what he said and sent someone to summon the prince to have dinner with him.
Yinreng's mind became a little clearer.
He has been acting so absurdly these days, could it be that the Emperor can no longer sit still?
Well, he would go into the palace and see what he had to say.
At this time, Yinreng had a somewhat desperate mentality, but before leaving, he did not forget to remind Huaqi: "When I'm not around, you have to be careful."
Huaqi smiled and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry about me. I'm at home, how could anything go wrong?"
Yinreng smiled and pinched Huaqi's face, "Just wait for me to come back."
Citi watched Yinreng leave.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
During this period, Yinreng was so crazy, so crazy that even he, who had never cared about state affairs, felt that a storm was about to come.
-----------------
Sure enough, not long after Yinreng left, a man dressed as a eunuch came.
As soon as he came up, he asked Citi to come over.
Before leaving, Yinreng had instructed everyone in the mansion not to hand over Citibank.
After a brief stalemate, Citi took the initiative to leave.
"Sir, I am Citi."
The eunuch took a look at the man who had bewitched the prince.
It is really extremely beautiful, with a unique charm.
After dismissing the others, the eunuch said to Huaqi, "Young Master Huaqi, let's not beat around the bush. The position of the Crown Prince is in jeopardy now. I don't know how many people are eyeing him and want to bite off a piece of meat from him. But because of you, the Crown Prince has become estranged from His Majesty. The father and son are separated. Do you think the Crown Prince will have a good ending?"
Citi was silent for a while.
The father-in-law was about to say something to persuade him, but Citi suddenly raised his head.
"My Lord, you are here to take my life, right?"
The eunuch was startled and looked up at Citibank.
He had a faint smile on his face and looked unafraid of death.
