Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

Although she was the one who said the word "filial" to describe the Fourth Prince, Concubine De did not agree with this evaluation.

What is filial piety?

Knowing that she was his biological mother, had he ever been filial to her?

He only knows how to be filial to that woman named Tong Jia!

Thinking of the news she had received, that the Fourth Prince was searching everywhere for health-preserving prescriptions for the Imperial Concubine, Concubine De couldn't help but look grim.

What's so good about Tong Jia?!

It was obvious that she, Uya, was the biological mother of Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen!

Defei was extremely uneasy, but Kangxi didn't care.

Kangxi just said quietly: "Defei, do you still remember what you looked like when you gave birth to Xiao Si?"

“What…” Defei was stunned and didn’t understand why Kangxi suddenly asked this question.

What did she look like when she gave birth to the Fourth Prince?

What is there to remember? She was so humble and miserable at that time. The child was clearly the one she had carried for ten months, but he was betrothed to another woman so early on and was destined to call the other woman mother. As for her, she was just a stepmother who could not recognize her son.

"I remember that you came from Chengqian Palace at that time. You were just eighteen years old and pregnant. I was going to give you the position of concubine. Do you know why it changed later?"

A trivial question hit Concubine De's heart, forcing her to face the fact that she had always forgotten and even destroyed.

Why did it change?

Why did she change from being a concubine to a noble lady, and then to be individually canonized and become Depin, one of the six concubines?

Because she was unwilling to be just a concubine. There were so many concubines in the palace, why should she, Uya, have the same status as them? She wanted to climb up, to be superior, to have power and honor, so ...

She exchanged the child with Tong Jia, who was already a noble concubine at that time.

She surrendered her child in exchange for a higher position. The imperial concubine had been childless for many years, so she was naturally happy to accept this deal. So with the imperial concubine's manipulation, she became a noble lady. After giving birth to the Fourth Prince, the emperor, who felt pity for her, compensated her with the position of a concubine.

After that, she was indeed continuously honored and favored.

Recalling those unbearable scenes from the past, Concubine De's eyes gradually turned cold.

She was most afraid of the past, because it always reminded her that everything she had now was obtained by selling her son for fame and fortune.

So why did the emperor bring up these things today?

What does he want to do?

Defei lowered her head and said nothing, just waiting for Kangxi to speak again.

Kangxi didn't care whether she said anything or not, and continued, "You should know the rules of the palace. Even if you have a child, you are not qualified to raise it. So even if you don't give Xiao Si to the Imperial Concubine, you won't be able to raise him at that time."

Not to mention the Fourth Prince, if she had not sold her son for fame and fortune, she would not even be able to raise the children she gave birth to later.

If the Fourth Prince had not been given to the Imperial Concubine, she would not have become one of the Six Concubines, and Kangxi naturally would not have favored her much. After all, there were so many concubines in the palace, who could he pay more attention to?

This is exactly what Kangxi did not understand about Concubine De the most. He always found it hard to imagine why Concubine De blamed everything on her fourth son.

It was her own choice to sell her son for fame and fortune, it was her own choice not to visit her son, it was also her own choice to be bad to her son, and then she blames Yinzhen for only having the Imperial Concubine in his heart?

This is really hard to comment on.

Kangxi could not understand Concubine De's psychology, and Concubine De would not analyze her thoughts to him. She just lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, why are you saying this?"

If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why show her your ugliness everywhere?

She just blames the Fourth Prince, and no one can change that.

Kangxi was even more angry at Defei's indifferent look. He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "After the New Year, I will issue an imperial decree to open the Jade Book, and then the Fourth Prince will officially become the child of the Imperial Noble Consort."

Jade ... ...

Defei finally understood that the Fourth Prince's imperial edict was to be changed. She said that perhaps the health of the woman Tong Jia was getting worse and she would not live long, so she specifically asked for this grace.

You deserve it!

After spitting at the Imperial Noble Consort of Chengqian Palace, Concubine De began to think. Let the Fourth Prince change his imperial genealogy. Anyway, she no longer considered him as her own son. Besides, after the Imperial Noble Consort died, would he still not care about his biological mother?

However, little Fourteen, her only son, has now been sent to Rong Fei in Zhongcui Palace. The emperor mentioned the Jade Book again. Does this mean that he will give her Fourteenth Son to someone else as well?

Thinking of this, Concubine De finally became a little panicked. She was getting older, and now the Emperor was obviously going to neglect her. If the Fourteenth Prince was gone, who would she rely on for the rest of her life?

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is already the son of the Imperial Noble Consort. I have never thought of competing with the Imperial Noble Consort for anything. Please understand!"

Defei immediately knelt down and kowtowed with great sincerity, but whether to believe it or not was up to Kangxi himself to decide.

He finally looked at Concubine De and saw that she was still with her head on the ground. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Uya, you blame Yinzhen, don't you?"

The change from "Defei" to "Uya" shows that Kangxi was not at peace.

He didn't listen to Concubine De's answer and continued, "When Yinzuo died young, you blamed him and thought he was the one who killed Yinzuo, right?"

When Kangxi mentioned Yinzuo, he touched the most unbearable pain in Concubine De's heart. She raised her head and her face turned pale. Zuo'er ... ...

"Your Majesty, can we not mention Zuo'er?"

She did not answer Kangxi's words, but just looked dazed, hoping that he would not mention Yinzuo.

But she didn't want to mention it, but Kangxi insisted: "You think the reason why Yinzuo died young was because of Yinzhen, right?"

"You didn't allow Yinzuo to have contact with Yinzhen, but Yinzuo always insisted on seeing Fourth Brother and even quarreled with you several times over this. You think he caused the discord between you and Yinzuo, right?"

"Yinzuo is in poor health and often falls ill, so you can't bear to see Yinzhen healthy, right?"

" ... ... "

With every word Kangxi spoke, Concubine De's face turned paler. She collapsed to the ground, her whole body swaying.

"No... No..." She shook her head repeatedly.

"No... I haven't thought about it..." She looked at Kangxi with pleading eyes, hoping that he would stop talking.

But Kangxi just wanted to say that he was very angry.

Originally he didn't know about these things, but when he was a ghost, he heard some bad words from Uya and was confused but couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until this life, when he promised his cousin to change the jade certificate to her name, that he got the answer.

It turned out that this was the reason why the cousin did not originally prevent Concubine De from seeing Xiao Si, but instead kept a strict watch on her after Yinzuo's death.

How could someone who holds a grudge against Xiao Si dare to let her get close to him, even if she is Xiao Si's biological mother?
