Chapter 107 Kangxi Empress Xiaoyi 16
So Xue Li was struggling for a long time and still couldn’t figure it out!
This made her more tired than after she had ravaged Zhou Yi!
In the end, Kangxi returned to Beijing on his own, and the legendary twelfth prince did not go back either!
The Tong family sent another letter, but Xue Li threw it away without even reading it!
When Kangxi received Zhou Yi's message, he was moved by his cousin's indifference to fame and fortune, but also angry at her lack of ambition!
Xue Li pestered Zhou Yi to start identifying acupuncture points, or else she would listen to Xuan Kong talking about demons, fairies and the like!
He said it jokingly and Xueli listened carefully.
I often read the old man's books, and then fell into deep thought while reading them!
Perhaps, we can draw inferences from one instance to another!
Over the years, Kangxi gradually achieved great success and Xiaozhuang was gone.
He happily favored many Han women, and basically, all his children were born to Han women!
Xue Li didn't care about that, she just waited to pick peaches!
Three years later, Yinyi got married!
The wife was Han Chuha. There were generally no high-ranking officials in her family, but the family tradition was still pretty good.
Yin Yi and she can be said to have known each other through fighting.
Kangxi was both troubled by the family background and connections of the twelfth wife, but also felt fortunate!
After all, my cousin is the imperial concubine and the Tong family is already at its peak.
He didn't want her to affect the crown prince's position as heir, nor did he want to hurt his cousin again!
Why is Kangxi so upset that Xueli ignores him?
Xueli's orphanages have been opened all over the Qing Dynasty, and news from all sides is constantly coming in.
Xueli let Yinyi take control!
He was also told not to stand out, and to either do his own thing or follow the emperor firmly!
It was the first time for all the court officials and princes to see the famous Twelfth Prince, and they were all scheming and scheming in their minds!
The twelfth prince is handsome and elegant, with excellent temperament, and outstanding literary talent and martial arts!
The Tong family was extremely excited, but Yin Yi just asked politely and then kept his distance.
Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinyi's understanding of the current situation! But he also felt that he was a little cold because of Xueli's upbringing?
My cousin now has no one else in her eyes except her children!
Kangxi felt a little annoyed as he thought about this, and what annoyed him even more was that the fight between the Crown Prince's lineage and the eldest prince's lineage was in full swing!
At this time, Kangxi favored Concubine Xiang and Concubine Mi.
It also did not stop him from sending letters to Sydney frequently, expressing his love and longing for her!
When Xueli is in a good mood, she will reply with a few words; when she is in a bad mood, Zhouyi will write for her.
Zhou Yi was extremely happy!
Between the 43rd and 46th years of his reign, Emperor Kangxi made three trips to the south of the Yangtze River.
Xue Li looked at his old appearance and was too lazy to pay attention to him!
Just hiding in the bedroom and being sick!
As a result, he held his grandchildren in his arms and pretended to be in good spirits!
Kangxi hesitated and asked her to go back. Xue Li was like a sick beauty!
She was delicate and weak, beautiful and graceful, and had a stubborn temper. Kangxi left with helplessness and relief!
Sydney: Fake!
In the 47th year of Kangxi's reign (1708), Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the first time on the grounds that the crown prince Yinreng "violated the virtues of the ancestors, did not obey my instructions, and only committed evil, abused the people, and was violent and licentious."
The fourth prince Yinzhen has always been following the crown prince around, and because he was raised by the empress dowager since he was a child, his life was pretty decent!
But he is not favored by the emperor!
Even though he worked hard, Kangxi never took him seriously.
Because when Kangxi saw him, he thought of how lowly his biological mother was and how she destroyed the friendship between him and his cousin!
Yinzhen himself knew that even the discussions of his servants were enough for him to supplement the truth!
In this life, Yinzhen does not have the wealth and connections left by the original owner, so even if he has ambitions, he can only be down-to-earth.
After all, the eighth brother has the ninth and tenth brothers to help him!
He doesn't have the power and financial resources.
What's more, in history, the Tong family chose two paths, and the one the Tong family supported was the eighth brother.
At the same time, Longkodo secretly supported Yinzhen!
This is how an old and slippery official conducts his duties!
Now that the Tong family has their own blood-related prince, they no longer take sides randomly!
However, the Eighth Brother made promises to many ministers based on the Ninth Brother's wealth, which still offended Kangxi!
At this time, the third prince Yinzhi exposed the eldest prince's conspiracy to harm Yinreng, and Kangxi imprisoned the eldest prince.
The eldest brother knew that he had no hope of becoming the successor, so he nominated the eighth brother.
Kangxi was disgusted with Yinsi's collusion with Yinzhi and imprisoned him as well.
In the 48th year of Kangxi's reign (1709), Kangxi reinstated the crown prince.
At the same time, the third son Yinzhi, the fourth son Yinzhen, and the fifth son Yinqi were conferred the title of princes.
The seventh son Yinyou, the tenth son Yin?, and the twelfth son Yinyi were conferred the title of princes.
The ninth son Yin'er, the thirteenth son Yin'lu, and the fourteenth son Yin'xiang were conferred the title of Beizi, and Yinsi's title of Beile was restored.
However, the decision to reinstate the crown prince did not bring about a stable crown prince structure.
Afterwards, the relationship between Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince became increasingly tense, and finally in October of the 51st year of Kangxi (1712), Yinreng was deposed again.
Kangxi began to struggle and gave in-depth consideration and planning to the issue of establishing a crown prince.
He faced a variety of options, including the emperor-emperor model, the emperor-crown prince-crown grandson model, etc.
At this time, the imperial grandchildren who caught Kangxi's attention included his eldest grandson Hongxi and Yinyi's legitimate son Honghao.
Hongxi knew when to act and how to retreat, and had the demeanor of a crown prince.
Honghao is quick-witted. At such a young age, he has read general history and can quote classics to debate with scholars!
It just so happens that he is not only good at horse riding, but also a good person!
The princes did not like Yin Yi who appeared out of nowhere, but they liked the smart and clever Hong Hao very much.
Honghao was a bit like Xueli, so Kangxi was very tolerant of him.
After the second prince was deposed, the eldest was imprisoned, the third withdrew, the fifth was disfigured, the fourth and seventh were of humble origins, the eighth was disliked by Kangxi, the ninth had no interest in this, and the tenth even married a Mongolian concubine.
Then, everyone's eyes were on Yin Yi.
The princes were unwilling but helpless!
Xueli's information network is well-connected and sufficient for Yinyi to have fun with.
What's more, he has so many friends who grew up with him.
It’s not that relatives are better than relatives!
And so another ten years passed!
Kangxi was in poor health and wrote a letter asking Xueli to return to Beijing!
Yin Yi went to pick her up personally. Xue Li couldn’t guess what he was trying to do, so she simply packed up and followed him!
Kangxi probably won’t live for many days, so Yinyi kept her under wraps and brought her back to the capital!
Everyone knew that since the crown prince was deposed, the one Kangxi wanted to consider must be Noble Consort Tong's child!
Not to mention the excellence of Yinyi and his son, Kangxi's friendship with the Imperial Concubine alone is enough...
Xue Li ignored all that and went to see Kangxi first when she returned.
If I don't go, I don't know how those petty people will become suspicious!
Kangxi was so sick that he really became an old man!
Kangxi looked at her, who was covered tightly with her clothes, her face as pale as porcelain, and tears welled up in his eyes!
"Cousin, after all these years, you are still as beautiful as a flower!" Kangxi looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Yes, the emperor takes good care of him!" Xue Li nodded. Of course he takes good care of him!
"Cousin, how long has it been since you called me cousin?" Kangxi held her hand. Xueli kept repeating in her heart, he only has a few days left, he only has a few days left...
"Hehe~ cousin!" Xueli called out, but Kangxi couldn't see the look in her eyes.
