Chapter 137: Surprised Yinzhen
Wen Yao shook her head, "She still hasn't changed her mind. Fifth sister-in-law is still inferior. Concubine De only praised Seventh sister-in-law and didn't directly talk about the things in Fifth Brother's house. Fifth sister-in-law..." Wen Yao put her feet in the basin and smiled softly, "Even if Concubine De is embarrassed, if the relationship between Fifth Brother and Fourth Brother is not handled well, there will be some friction and rifts between them."
"I didn't find time to tell Master Jiu today. Madam, please remind me to tell Master Jiu tomorrow," Wen Yao said after thinking for a while.
After lying down, Wen Yao started to open the gossip page, [It turned out that Concubine De did it on purpose. Concubine De wanted to make the relationship between the fourth brother and the other brothers unharmonious so that she would pay more attention to the fourteenth brother who was born from the same mother? It seems that Concubine De is very clear about the cold mother-son relationship between herself and the fourth brother, and also very clear about the relationship between the fourth brother and the fourteenth brother. ]
[Fifth sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose, but she has already apologized to Fourth sister-in-law, and her relationship with Fourth sister-in-law has become closer.] Don't be forced to sigh, [The enemy of my enemy is my friend.]
Wen Yao thought about it and searched for Rong Fei, then suddenly sat up. [Rong Fei actually stopped? Did Yin Zhi persuade her?]
[No wonder, everyone knows about it. What Concubine Rong did was not made public, so this matter probably just passed.] Wen Yao lay down slowly. How could Concubine Yi swallow this?
Is this what it means to suffer a loss?
No wonder Kangxi went to Yikun Palace almost every day these days. He did not let Concubine Yi sleep with him every day, but he often went to Yikun Palace during the day.
As for the Zhongcui Palace, Wen Yao thought about it carefully. Kangxi did not go to Zhongcui Palace, nor did he go to Yonghe Palace. Generally speaking, among the four concubines, he would go there once or twice. Whether he slept with the emperor or not was secondary. After all, he was indeed older, so he would naturally choose the younger one if there was a younger one.
However, Kangxi did not go to Zhongcui Palace and Yonghe Palace, which meant to warn Rongfei. Then what about Yonghe Palace?
Wen Yao immediately searched for information about Concubine De's recent events, and later added what the Uya clan had done to anger the emperor. Naturally, she found out that Kangxi was investigating Concubine De and the Uya clan, and even suspected that Concubine De was responsible for Empress Xiaoyi's death.
[That's all Concubine De and Uya did?] Wen Yao looked at her question and thought that the question she was searching for was not accurate, so she changed it to: What did Concubine De and Uya and her family do? Especially when Concubine De entered the palace and after she entered the palace.
[De Fei Uyamalu was born on April 28, the 17th year of Shunzhi's reign. She was a bondservant of the Zhenghuang Banner. Her father was Uyama Weiwu, the assistant commander of the bondservant guard. Her mother was Saiheli, and her grandfather was Esen, the chief steward of the kitchen.]
[In February of the 12th year of Kangxi's reign, she entered the palace through the selection of the Imperial Household Department. She entered the palace on the same day as the noble lady Wan Liuha. After entering the palace, she completed her training. After Empress Xiaoyi Tong Jia entered the palace, she was assigned to Chengqian Palace...]
Wen Yao read on bit by bit, her brows furrowed. The issue of Yinzhen's custody was a deal between the Tonggiya clan and the Uya clan, and it was also a calculation of the Uya clan and Defei themselves. It can only be said that all of them were beneficiaries.
Uya's favor also originated from her many years of understanding of Kangxi. Although the understanding was not much, it was enough. In addition, Uya Malu was extremely intelligent and the Uya clan had power in the Imperial Household Department, so she soon gained the emperor's favor.
The plan of the Uya clan was simple. They wanted to use the help of the Tonggiya clan to help the prince with Uya clan blood to ascend to the throne. Therefore, the death of Empress Xiaoyi was indeed caused by Concubine De, because the Uya clan did not take any action. They just secretly instigated Concubine De and the Tonggiya clan in the matter of Yinzhen, deepening Concubine De's jealousy towards the Tonggiya clan.
On the fifth day of February in the nineteenth year of the Kangxi reign, Uya gave birth to the sixth prince, Yinzuo. After giving this name, Uya thought that Kangxi valued Yinzuo, but she never imagined that he was secretly testing Tonggiya. When Yinzuo's name came out, Tonggiya did not panic, but Soetu did!
Yinzuo's illness gave Uya the final blow. Uya thought it was Tonggiya's doing, so she used Yinzuo's name to gain Kangxi's sympathy and personally ended Yinzuo's life. Uya's method was clever and only put psychological pressure on Yinzuo.
[Damn! There's already a PUA at this time?] Wen Yao couldn't help but look sideways, Concubine De is indeed powerful and ruthless!
Yinzuo's death made Kangxi feel even more distressed for Concubine De, but he did not suspect Tong Jia. In the end, he only found out that it was the servants of the Hesheli clan who did it.
After that, she gave birth to three daughters and the fourteenth son Yinzhen, who was born in the 27th year. During this period, Uya used medicine, which was improved after Daijia's experiments. The leg disease of Yinyou, born to Daijia, was caused by Uya.
Wen Yao watched the scenes one by one. She was bold, ruthless, careful and calm. This was Wen Yao's evaluation of Concubine De. This person was too calm. She knew what to do and what to give up at the right time!
Wen Yao felt that Concubine De only wanted the Fourteenth Prince to ascend the throne, but this gossipy little friend showed that as long as her son ascended the throne, it would be fine.
Is Concubine De not partial?
Wen Yao continued searching, and the answer was as she expected: Concubine De favored Fourteenth.
When Yinzhen came back, Wen Yao was still searching, "Master, you're back?"
Yinzhen climbed into the bed and watched Wen Yao clicking at the void. "Are you messing with that bucket? What are you checking?"
"I'm looking into Concubine De's affairs," Wen Yao told her about Concubine De's affairs. "I thought Concubine De only wanted Fourteenth Emperor to take the throne, but I didn't expect anyone would be able to do it?"
"Isn't this normal? They are all her sons, so no matter which one ascends the throne, she will be the empress dowager," Yinzhen was not surprised.
"In later generations, Concubine De was evaluated as doting on the Fourteenth Brother and hating the Fourth Brother. She was even very reluctant to see the Fourth Brother ascend the throne. On the day of the Fourth Brother's ascension to the throne, she even threatened to kill herself and force the Fourth Brother to give up the throne to the Fourteenth Brother. She also said that Kangxi's imperial edict was wrong at the time, and it clearly said the Fourteenth Brother instead of the Fourth Brother. Even if the Fourth Brother ascended the throne, she was unwilling to move into the Cining Palace," Wen Yao listed them one by one. "Many people in later generations hated Concubine De, such as... me!"
"What the hell?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "Fourth brother ascended the throne and Concubine De didn't want it? Bah! She's already the Queen Mother, how could she not want it? If she didn't want it, why would she have given Fourth brother to Queen Xiaoyi to raise!"
"That was because Concubine De had no choice. She was a concubine at the time and couldn't keep a child!" Wen Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was the way it was.
"Yes, that's right, but Fourth Brother is someone else's biological son! For example, Master and Fifth Brother, if Fifth Brother ascends the throne, do you think Mother will be unhappy? Stop making a fuss," Yinzhen waved his hand. Her mother would definitely be happy and move into the Cining Palace happily.
"It's different. Fourth brother was raised by Empress Xiaoyi, who had a grudge for taking her son away from her, while Concubine De personally raised Fourteenth brother!" Wen Yao retorted.
"It's normal to be partial. As for what you said about ascending the throne and trying to kill yourself to force my fourth brother to abdicate? Bah! What a joke. Defei is not stupid. If she dares to do that, the royal family will definitely let her be buried alive!" Yinzhen felt so upset that he couldn't bear to watch it. He was a little bit unconvinced. He had heard Wen Yao talk about the situation in the future generations in the past, and he felt that people in the future generations would not be so stupid.
