The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]

When the incident happened, several palace servants who followed Yinzhen and Yinzuo were taken away separately.

Yinzhen's face was normal, looking carefully, even with a sense of relief, but Yinzuo was a little nervous, his little hands were strangled tightly, which made Concubine De's heart hang.

Originally, she believed in what Yinzuo said, but looking at the situation... Could it be that Yinzuo really lied?But why does Yinzuo need to lie?Yinzuo has always been the most beloved child of Concubine De, but what about Yinzhen?It is rare for Concubine De to meet him.

Concubine De started not to calm down.If she really wronged the child Yinzhen, according to what she said and did to Yinzhen just now, I am afraid that the child will be divorced from her in the future.Besides, this matter has alarmed Kangxi, if it is found out that Yinzuo lied, his impression in Kangxi's heart will be greatly reduced...

Concubine De, who was very sure about this matter at first, became restless for a while. She looked at Concubine Tong quietly standing beside Tong Huanggui Concubine for a while, looked at Yinzhen in Qionghua with gentle eyes, and looked at Yinzhen standing beside her for a while. Before, Yinzuo, who lowered his head because of nervousness, felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

On the other hand, on the side of Concubine Tonghuang, the three of them were very relaxed.Qionghua was lying safely in Kangxi's arms, accepting Kangxi's teasing, flattening her mouth when being poked in the face, and smiling happily when being held up high.Concubine Tonghuang stood aside tenderly, watching the interaction between the father and daughter, she seemed not worried at all about the result of the interrogation.Yinzhen also stood aside obediently.

Kangxi is not a fool, seeing the abnormalities on the faces of the concubine De, mother and son, how could he fail to guess the truth of the matter?Especially since Yinzuo was still young, he couldn't hide anything on his face at all, and Kangxi took his guilty conscience into his eyes.

Sure enough, not long after, the servants reported back and forth: "The two servants next to the sixth elder brother insisted that the fourth elder brother hit the sixth elder brother, but they have different calibers. One of the servants said that it was the fourth elder brother. Jealous of the sixth elder brother being favored by the concubine, and seeing no one around, he knocked the sixth elder brother down. The other servant said that the fourth elder brother walked faster when he was walking, and accidentally knocked down the sixth elder brother. Brother Six..."

If Sixth Brother hadn't lied, how could the people around him not speak the same way?The only explanation is that it was Brother Six who was lying. Due to the rush of time, the people around him didn't have time to speak up.

On the other hand, the attendants around the fourth elder brother Yinzhen were calm and calm when they were under investigation, and what they said was consistent with what other people said.

Now, the truth of the matter is clear at a glance.

Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Tong glanced at Concubine De coldly, and said sharply: "Concubine De, you indulge your youngest son in disrespecting your elder brother, and you only listen to and believe in mistakes and punish Yinzhen later, and you despise the authority of my palace. , what should you do!"

This matter is also a lesson for Concubine De and Yinzuo.Don't think that without a third party, you can distort the truth of the matter, and don't think that you can have nothing to fear if you have my mother's preference.In this harem, Concubine De has a high status, but above Concubine De, there is Imperial Concubine and Kangxi!

Concubine De argued indisputably, pulled Yinzuo to kneel on the ground: "This time, the concubine made a mistake, and the concubine did not teach Yinzuo well. The conflict between Yinzuo and Yinzhen brothers is not a big deal at all. The courtiers and concubines cared about it, and they were chaotic. They thought that Yinzhen had bullied Yinzuo, so they punished Yinzhen privately and offended the imperial concubine, and asked the emperor and the imperial concubine to punish him. Yinzuo is still young, and after a conflict with his brother, it is also true that he lost control of his emotions for a while. Yes, please ask the emperor and the imperial concubine not to spare Yinzuo's experience. In the future, the ministers and concubines will teach Yinzuo well."

Concubine De's attitude of admitting her mistakes is good—it's not okay if it's not good, the truth of the matter is already in front of everyone, if she refuses to admit her mistakes, she will only fall into an even more embarrassing situation, and Kangxi will hate her even more.

But if you think about it carefully, you can find that what she said is a bit evasive.She emphasized that Yinzuo was young, and that she cared about it, but she was chaotic, and she showed a weak and pitiful appearance in front of Kangxi, hoping that Kangxi would treat her and her son lightly.

But after one thing after another, Concubine Tonghuang has long been tired of Concubine De, how could she do what she wished?Immediately remind Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager previously punished Concubine De's sister for two months and fined her salary for half a year. Now that the two-month ban has passed, De Concubine's sister has made another mistake. It can be seen that she has not been able to reflect on her own mistakes. Woolen cloth."

Kangxi originally wanted to confine Concubine De for a few more months, but when he said this, it reminded Concubine Kangxi that this was not the first time that Concubine De had made a mistake, and Kangxi dispelled the idea of ​​punishing Concubine De in a big way.What the imperial concubine said was right, just confinement, I am afraid that the concubine De would not be able to realize her fault.Because of his love for Concubine De, Concubine De has been promoted several levels in a few short years, her heart is a little impetuous after all.

"Since that's the case, demote Concubine De to concubine and confine her for another two months. Concubine De, you should reflect on yourself during the confinement period. In the future, you can no longer be arrogant and provoke the imperial concubine's majesty. Otherwise, if I can lift you up, I will also It can make you have nothing!" What he needs is Xie Yuhua, someone who can bring him relaxation after handling government affairs, not an ignorant concubine who picks up trouble in the harem from time to time.If Debi can't do it, some people can do it!

Concubine De, no, Concubine De had tears in her eyes after hearing Kangxi's words.She never thought that Kangxi would punish her so severely.In the harem, promotion has always been difficult, but if one keeps one's place, one can at least secure one's position.There are not many concubines who have been demoted in this dynasty. When Concubine Rong was demoted to Concubine Rong, people in the harem often laughed at her. Now, is it my turn?

In the past few years, Depin has been one of Kangxi's most beloved concubines. Depin thought that she was different to him.Unexpectedly, his heart hardened and he was so ruthless.Concubine De has won the favor of many people over the years. She has been demoted this time. I am afraid that many people will applaud behind her back to celebrate.

Kangxi was indifferent to De Concubine's tears, he looked at Yin Zuo who was standing next to De Concubine, who was at a loss: "As for the sixth elder brother—"

For a while, he hadn't figured out how to punish Sixth Brother.If it's light, Yin Zuo must not realize the seriousness of the matter. If it's serious, this is his son after all, and Kangxi can't let him go.However, the sixth elder brother doesn't have any titles and titles that Kangxi can lose, which is really a headache.

Concubine Tong Huanggui said: "Sixth elder brother is still so young, so he knows to frame elder brother. The concubine thinks that such behavior must not be taken lightly. We have to break the sixth elder brother's temper before he is finalized, otherwise The consequences are disastrous. The courtiers know that the emperor values ​​family affection the most, and they absolutely don't want to see brothers fight against each other."

Concubine Tonghuang knew Kangxi's temperament best, and she poked wherever Kangxi was taboo.When Kangxi heard the words "Brothers fight the wall", he really frowned.Imperial Concubine Tong pursed her lips, and looked at De Concubine meaningfully: "The sixth elder brother is still young, just like a piece of white paper, he is what others teach him. The concubine doesn't know De Concubine What did he say to the sixth elder brother on weekdays, so that he harbored such great malice towards his elder brother who he rarely met. When the concubines taught Yinzhen, they all told him to respect the elder brother and be friendly to the younger brothers, not to be casual Bullying younger brother, this time Yinzhen was framed by Yinzuo, this child firmly remembered what the concubine said, but secretly wronged, never said anything against Yinzuo."

In fact, there is no chance to say it, but Concubine Tonghuang will not make it clear.Why not do something that can increase the impression points of your own children and compare the opposite party to scum?

When De Concubine heard what Concubine Tong Huanggui said, her eyes were filled with resentment and fear. She had already realized what Concubine Tong Huanggui wanted to do.

Kangxi thought for a while following the words of Concubine Tong Huanggui, and said: "The imperial concubine is right. After all, the concubine is young and impetuous, and her temperament is unstable. The princess is nothing more. It is indeed wrong for her to raise the prince. There is nothing to let me The prince learns to be petty. I see that the imperial concubine raised Yinzhen very well. Why not give Yinzuo to the imperial concubine to raise him? How about that? The imperial concubine is dignified and grand, and she is also the deputy queen. I am very happy to entrust the prince to you rest assured."

Every sentence Kangxi said was like a knife blade, piercing Debi's heart, making her drip with blood.

Depin's background is humble, but since she was favored by Kangxi and gave birth to the emperor's heir, few people have disliked her background in front of her.But today, in front of De Concubine's opponent, Huang Guifei, Kangxi said that she was petty... Huang Guifei is a woman who took away her one son, but also her second son...

Debi bit her lower lip tightly, so she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

Concubine Tong turned a blind eye to Depin's pain.Do you regret it now?What did you do early!It's obviously a small matter of sesame and mung bean, but if she insists on making such a big fuss, she's doing it on her own.If there was a conflict between Yinzuo and Yinzhen, and she chose to resolve the matter in private, instead of punishing Yinzhen to kneel in public, Imperial Concubine Tong would not pursue and beat her so hard.

But since Concubine De has touched Concubine Tong's heart, and Concubine Tong thinks she is not a person who repays hatred with virtue, she has to touch Concubine De's heart.

"Your Majesty, the concubines now have Qionghua and Yinzhen to support them, so I really can't figure out how to raise and teach the sixth elder brother. And the sixth elder brother... because of the concubine De, now I have some prejudice against the concubine. If elder brother is handed over to a concubine to be educated, I am afraid it will backfire in the end."

Kangxi saw Yin Zuo's resentment when he looked at the imperial concubine, nodded, and agreed with Tong Huangguifei's words.At this time, he had already grown somewhat displeased with this son whom he had always liked, and felt that Yinzuo had been raised crookedly by the concubine De.

Concubine Tonghuang said: "Among all the sisters, the younger sister Guifei gave birth to the tenth son of the emperor not long ago, and the younger sister Yifei gave birth to the ninth son of the emperor. Both of them had no time to spare. Concubine Hui treated the eighth elder brother wrongly, which caused the eighth elder brother Brother was sent back to Concubine Liang, and it was not appropriate to hand Sixth Brother to Concubine Hui. As for Concubine Rong, she was degraded by the emperor's mother because of her unsafe behavior not long ago, so she couldn't hand Sixth Brother to her According to my concubines, the sixth elder brother should be handed over to the concubine Cheng or concubine Ping. The concubine comes from the Hesheli family, she is the younger sister of the former queen, her family background and upbringing are guaranteed, and she has not had a child so far, if the sixth elder brother is handed over to her, she will definitely treat the sixth elder brother as her own. "

After listening to Concubine Tong's analysis, Kangxi felt that it was quite reasonable, and said: "In this case, the sixth elder brother should be brought up by Concubine Ping."

Debi, who was kneeling beside her, fainted immediately upon hearing this.
