Chapter 1052 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (89)
He grew up with Consort Wenxi and his own mother.
In addition, there was the way Emperor Kangxi raised his sons.
The Fifth Prince was even more outstanding than he was in history.
The eldest prince was impatient, the crown prince was arrogant, the third prince was hypocritical, the fourth prince was cold and hard, the fifth prince was steady, and the seventh prince was sullen.
As for the Eighth Prince, he was lazy; the Ninth Prince was cheerful; the Tenth Prince was honest; the Eleventh Prince was pure; the Twelfth Prince was stingy; the Thirteenth Prince was optimistic; and the Fourteenth Prince was clever.
These traits were known not only to Emperor Kangxi, but also to everyone in the harem.
In Kangxi's eyes now, sons below the Eighth Prince are considered as potential replacements.
The princes above the seventh rank must begin their battles on his chessboard.
How could a woman who has survived in the harem not see through Kangxi's plans?
Consort Yi watched helplessly as her son became a pawn in the game of fate.
How could I not be worried.
"Do not worry."
Li Siqi reassured him, "Fifth Prince isn't a child; he knows what to do."
Don't worry.
No matter what, he still has you and Xiao Jiu.
Just live your life well now.
"Yes, the Fifth Prince is older and more sensible."
Consort Wenxi also comforted her, saying, "We'll just stay here with the child. You'll be watching over everything."
……
They talked for a while at Changshou Palace.
Li Siqi and Consort Yi left together.
"Sister Consort Liang, shall we take a walk together?"
Consort Yi extended an invitation with a smile.
Although she entered the harem first, Li Siqi ranked higher in rank.
Consort Yi could only address her as her elder sister.
"Okay."
Li Siqi rarely used a palanquin in the palace; she walked whenever possible.
Treat it as a walk and exercise.
Although she did not have much contact with Consort Yi.
However, since the children were all together, they had more contact with each other than the other members of the harem.
The two walked side by side.
Consort Yi did not speak first, and Li Siqi did not say anything either.
The two walked for a long time.
Consort Yi whispered, "We don't have the intention, but we can't get away from it."
Who knows what the future holds?
I hope the Eighth Prince can give the Ninth Prince more guidance.
"Sister Consort Liang, it was I who shamelessly insisted."
"Don't say such discouraging things."
Li Siqi responded softly, "The children are all fine, so you don't need to worry."
Just remember this: everything is trivial except for life and death.
You don't need to be so anxious; it's bad for your health.
“Sister Consort Liang is right.”
Consort Yi remained silent for a moment, then nodded gently and said softly, "Let everything else go, except for life and death."
"Yes."
Li Siqi continued, "Actually, apart from a few small ones..."
The rest probably won't escape either.
We were prepared.
"Consort Liang is right, we don't even know...how many years!"
……
Moyaqi's wedding day was very lively.
After the bride was taken away.
Looking at the empty Yongshou Palace, Consort Wenxi couldn't help but feel sad again.
Regardless, she needs to get used to the fact that her daughter is getting married.
In the days that followed, everyone proceeded according to plan.
Li Siqi has gained two more grandchildren.
Fortunately, in the royal family, they could afford to raise as many children as they wanted.
Another year after the general election.
This time, the main purpose was to arrange marriages for the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth princes.
Wanyan, the primary consort of the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen, was the daughter of Luo Cha, a vice minister.
The primary wife of the fifteenth prince, Yinwu, was from the Guarjia clan, the daughter of the military commander Shi Wenbing.
Guo Luoluo, the primary consort of the sixteenth prince Yinlu, was the daughter of Nengte, a third-rank official.
Before his marriage, he was also granted the title of Beile.
After the three princes got married.
Then a major event occurred.
Emperor Kangxi deposed the crown prince.
The imperial decree shocked both the court and the imperial harem.
No one expected that Emperor Kangxi would actually be willing to depose the crown prince, whom he had raised from childhood.
This news is truly shocking.
Meanwhile, the previous dynasty was in complete chaos.
Even the imperial harem is subject to the turmoil of human emotions.
The impact of deposing the crown prince was too great.
No one expected that Emperor Kangxi would pull this stunt.
The Empress Dowager was both shocked and helpless.
She also carried the duties of an Empress Dowager.
She thought she would never have to do this mission in her life.
However, at the height of the controversy, the Empress Dowager did not intervene in the matter.
She never interfered in the emperor's affairs, the affairs of the harem, or the affairs between the concubines and princes.
But the Empress Dowager was formidable.
As if he knew the crown prince would be deposed, he handed over his mission before his death.
They hoped to save the crown prince.
"Master, are you going to persuade Kangxi?"
The little pot popped out, "Kangxi must know that his master has received this task."
"If the master doesn't offer advice, who knows what Kangxi might think."
"definitely will."
Li Siqi remained calm, saying, "Kangxi was inherently suspicious."
He maintained tight control over the harem.
It can be said that he wanted to know the reasons behind every move of the concubines and analyze their intentions.
"If you weren't here with me, he might have discovered it long ago."
"That Emperor Kangxi!"
Little Pot complained, "It's really a bit scary, they're treating everyone like pawns."
"Didn't we already know he was talented?"
Li Siqi didn't care at all, "He probably won't remember for now."
Let him go crazy for a few days first.
Wait until he enters the palace, or until he comes knocking on our door.
Let me offer a few more words of persuasion.
Anyway, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang only said she wanted to advise the emperor.
I was not asked to keep the position of Crown Prince.
Therefore, no matter what, Kangxi could not possibly take his anger out on me.
"Yes."
Little Pot agreed wholeheartedly, “On the contrary, he will regret it and then reinstate the crown prince.”
Unfortunately, a broken mirror cannot be mended, and spilled water cannot be retrieved.
It seems that Emperor Kangxi changed his mind and couldn't bear to see his crown prince suffer.
It's really just about putting the young master up on the spot.
Perhaps the Crown Prince was aware of this as well, which is why he reinstated the Crown Prince.
He went even further, recklessly pushing the limits of Emperor Kangxi's authority.
Finally, Kangxi could no longer tolerate him and deposed him.
It's like a joke.
"That's just how emperors are."
Li Siqi picked up the conversation, "What I give you is yours; what I don't want to give you, you can't take away even if you try."
but.
He often used this fragrant cake to tempt his sons.
Seeing his sons love and fight each other seems like a very fun game.
Ultimately, it was all about crippling these sons, so they'd never be able to take their place again.
……
The Lord and the Spirit were chatting idly.
An Ran entered and bowed, "Your Highness, the Prince and the Prince have arrived."
"Oh, let them in."
Li Siqi knew why the brothers had come.
"Greetings to Mother!"
The two brothers bowed simultaneously, saying, "May Mother be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and good health!"
"stand up!"
Li Siqi gestured for them to sit down and casually asked, "Coming out of the Imperial Study?"
"Yes, Mother!"
Yinzhi nodded. "We brothers all pleaded for our second brother."
Father is still angry.
"If he gets angry, he gets angry."
Li Siqi said calmly, "In short, whether he gets angry or not, you all have to side with the Crown Prince."
Even if he takes his anger out on you.
You will suffer too.
