Time passed little by little, and the 34th year of Kangxi's reign arrived in the blink of an eye.

At this moment in the court, the officials were discussing the matter.

It was all about the prince marrying a concubine.

They submitted petitions for a whole year, but the emperor did not take any action.

Seeing that the Crown Prince is already 21 years old, but still alone, not to mention the Crown Princess, he doesn't even have a single servant. This makes people wonder, what is the Emperor thinking?

But after all, he was the emperor. No matter how many questions they had in their minds, they could not raise them directly. They could only join hands and repeatedly advise him on the importance of the prince getting married, hoping that the emperor would quickly arrange a marriage for his royal highness.

Thinking of Prince Zhi, who had been married for several years and had only one daughter, as well as Prince Cheng and Prince Yong, who were getting older, they did not hesitate and wrote letters to the emperor together.

They have so many important things to do that they are exhausted, yet they still have the energy to worry about finding women for the princes. It can only be said that they are still too powerful.

Unfortunately, no matter whether it was the Prince of Zhi who had already married and had a daughter, or the Crown Prince, Prince Cheng, and Prince Yong who had never married, none of these people were forced by them.

The Crown Prince refused to marry, but Prince Cheng and Prince Yong refused on the grounds that their brother had not yet gotten married and they could not bypass their brother's marriage.

Prince Zhi was even more daring, and he said directly in court: "I don't covet the throne, so why do I have so many children? You are so anxious about my offspring, it's hard not to doubt your intentions!"

After these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court fell silent.

Although, there is actually nothing wrong with what he said.

Not wanting to bear this malicious reputation, the court officials chose to ignore Prince Zhi and instead focused their attention on the three princes who had no children from their wives.

Kangxi was also helpless. Ministers of the previous dynasty repeatedly wrote to him, and concubines in the harem also complained, but his three sons just refused to focus on starting a family. All the pressure fell on his shoulders alone, which was really unbearable.

"Yinzhi, Yinzhen, why don't you think about it again?"

In the imperial study, Kangxi tried earnestly to persuade his two relatively obedient sons.

He couldn't persuade Yinreng. When the dead kid heard him bring up this topic, he gave him a cold look and pretended to be deaf.

Only the third and fourth sons would listen to him carefully.

——Although it just went in one ear and out the other.

"Khan Ama, my second brother doesn't even have a crown princess yet, why are you always staring at me and my fourth brother?"

Yinzhi's current thoughts are very simple. He has his second elder brother, the Crown Prince, supporting him. After his second elder brother, the Crown Prince, can no longer support him and marries the Crown Princess, he will think carefully about his own situation.

Yinzhen was also a bachelor. He simply spread out his hands and said, "Khan Ama, my son is not yet grown up."

Adults in later generations have to turn 18 years old. He is only 16 years old now, not even 17 years old. It is not his turn to get married and have children yet.

Kangxi was a little choked up. He knew what his fourth son meant and stared at him speechlessly. "Then you can choose a wife first, cultivate your relationship for a few years and then get married."

As the saying goes, you have a plan, but I have a ladder to climb over the wall.

Kangxi thought these were no big deal.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then Khan, please solve the problems of the second and third brothers first, and then solve the problems of your son."

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. Above him, he has second and third brothers who are not married yet, so it is not his turn anyway.

Hearing this, Kangxi was choked again. He looked at his two sons who had grown into brilliant young men. The third son used the second son as a shield, and the fourth son used his two older brothers as shields. In the end, neither of them had any intention of getting married.

This made him very depressed.

"Why don't you want to get married?"

"Don't you miss your former sons and daughters?"

His wish to have a grandson was almost broken into pieces.

Hearing the question, Yinzhi lowered his eyes slightly and sighed: "Khan Ama, look at my elder brother. If he missed his former children, he would not have only had one daughter with my eldest sister-in-law."

All I can say is that they are cold-hearted. The children of the previous life are all things of the previous life. Why do they have to follow the previous life step by step?

Yinzhen also sighed, thinking of his young son Honghui who died young.

In fact, after three lifetimes, he could hardly remember what Honghui looked like. When he recalled the pain of losing his son, he seemed to no longer be able to feel it.

With his eyes slightly blank and his emotions suppressed, Yinzhen said calmly: "Khan Ama, don't worry, maybe we will want to get married and have children someday."

"You can't force this kind of thing. Please wait a few more years. Maybe we will get anxious ourselves in a few years."

He spoke so sincerely that Kangxi felt particularly pained.

"Go away, both of you, go away. I don't want to see you anymore."

Kangxi waved his hand and dismissed these two sons with disdain. Each of them had his own twisted ideas. He couldn't help but stroke his forehead. He really didn't understand his sons' inner thoughts any more.

Oh, is there a generation gap between them? !

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Kangxi's eyes fell on the pile of memorials urging the prince to get married, and he decisively threw them all to the ground, "Liang Jiugong, pick them up."

He urges his sons every day, but they don't want to get married. Can he, as a father, force them to do so?

Instead of doing any serious work, you just worry about useless things. You really have too much free time!

The Aisin-Gioro family had a tradition of venting anger on others. Kangxi did not blame his sons for being disobedient, but instead took out his anger on the ministers who had caused trouble for him. As a result, all the court officials were in trouble.

"Has Khan Ama gone mad again?"

In Yuqing Palace, Crown Prince Yinreng couldn't help but ask questions when he heard that his own Khan father had scolded all the civil and military officials in the court.

"Maybe. When my fourth brother and I came out, we saw that Khan Ama was a little angry."

Without mentioning that it was he and his fourth brother who made Khan Ama angry, Yinzhi said seriously, "It must be those ministers who are not concerned about the affairs of state and are only concerned with urging us to get married, so Khan Ama was annoyed."

Yinzhen nodded silently, agreeing with this statement.

Yes, that's right. It was those ministers who worried too much and angered their Khan Ama. It had nothing to do with him and his third brother.

"So what do you two think?"

Yinreng spoke with some curiosity. He himself did not want to get married because he despised it from the bottom of his heart and felt that a wife and children would only hinder his pace towards freedom. What about his third and fourth brothers?

Could they be thinking the same thing as him?

"That's not it."
