Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 427 Yin Zuo

In the end, there was someone with great ability who deduced from clues that Rong Fei suffered from heart disease right after giving birth to Prince Yinhua and before she became pregnant with the youngest prince, which was the time when she lived in the Qianqing Palace.

Doesn't that coincide with the time for taking contraceptive soup?

Could it be that Concubine Rong's heart disease was related to the contraceptive soup? Was it because Concubine Rong's constitution conflicted with the properties of the contraceptive soup, damaging her heart meridians? Or was it a conspiracy, and there was something extra in the contraceptive soup?

If it was the latter, who did it? Was it the deceased Hesheli, or the owner of the Qianqing Palace?

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. No one dared to delve further. Anyway, whether it was Concubine Rong's heart disease or the young prince's physical weakness, it was a good thing for them, wasn't it?

The Empress Dowager, who knew everything, looked at the increasingly mature emperor and felt that her previous worries were a joke.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

"Grandmother, I want to name the little prince Yinzuo."

"no!"

Not surprisingly, Kangxi heard voices of opposition again, but the show had to go on.

"why?"

The Grand Empress Dowager didn't know what to say. Could she say to her grandson: "Be a decent person! Stop picking on Concubine Rong and causing trouble for her. Let her go."

The Empress Dowager felt that the Emperor treated Concubine Rong differently and was quite attentive to him, but why was the way he treated Concubine Rong completely different from the way he treated Hesheli and Nara before?

Kangxi was still there to argue for himself, "Grandmother, the child is weak, so I want to give him a better name. 'Zuo' means good fortune, I want to bring him some blessings."

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to control the child? Don't forget that 'zuo' also means the life of a country."

"That's not what I meant."

“Then don’t let everyone misunderstand you.

Your Majesty, ever since you brought Yinreng to the Qianqing Palace to raise him personally, the Hesheli family outside has been ready to make a move and has been keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace.

If you named Rong Fei's child Yin Zuo at this time, what would they think? What would they do?

I don't believe that the emperor has not thought of this.

No matter what the emperor wants to do, if you still have feelings for Rong Fei and still care about Cheng Rui's feelings, you should give up this idea as soon as possible.

Chengrui's body can't withstand the blow."

The Empress Dowager was worried that Kangxi would not care about Rong Fei at all, so she had to move Chengrui out.

Fortunately, after hearing Chengrui's name, Kangxi's expression obviously relaxed.

The reason why the Empress Dowager stopped this matter was that she felt sorry for the child, but more importantly, she was worried about the Qing Dynasty. With Yinreng and Yinzuo, no one knew how much trouble would arise.

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly flickered, and she asked casually, "Have you asked Concubine Rong's opinion?"

"Of course, she is the young prince's biological mother, so of course I have to ask her opinion."

"I thought you would say: There's no need to ask her opinion." The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi, who seemed indifferent, and asked the question that concerned her most:

"So what did Concubine Rong say? Did she agree?"

Kangxi recalled the scene at that time, and his expression suddenly became strange. "No, Rong Fei was just like the Imperial Grandmother, and felt that the word 'Zuo' was too easy to be misunderstood.

She said that after all, she had raised Yinreng for a period of time and had feelings for him. If the young prince was named Yinzuo, she would be embarrassed to see Yinreng again in the future, and the brothers would not be able to get along well.

Does this mean that Concubine Rong doesn't want her child to compete for that position? The Empress Dowager didn't quite believe it.

Although the Ma Jia clan was indeed of too low a status to provide any assistance, and Chengrui and the others were still young and unable to enter the court to train their own team and helpers, Rong Fei was still very favored.

Regardless of whether this favor is true or false, there is no one in the palace who can compete with Rong Fei. If she seizes the opportunity and asks the emperor for more things for her children, it may not be impossible to succeed.

At that time, a prince named Yinzuo, with the support of three brothers, would probably be more likely to gain the support of court officials than Yinreng.

After all, Yinreng will naturally be close to his in-laws. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. With the Hesheli family around, Yinreng's first closest relative will naturally be the Hesheli family. Even if other families have the merit of supporting him, they can only be second.

But the princes of Zhongcui Palace were different. Their mother's family, Ma Jia, was just a bannerman. If they supported "Yinzuo" or had the opportunity to become the wife's family of "Yinzuo", it would naturally be the most glorious.

Even if he was not so successful, he still had several brothers. By becoming the wife of Yinzuo's brother, he would naturally become prominent.

As for Yinzuo's frailty, it was not a problem. Wasn't Chenghu also frail at the time? But Hesheli clan wanted to push him to that position just like the Hesheli family did.

In fact, being weak has its advantages. Wouldn't a sickly emperor born to a bondservant woman be easier to control?

Moreover, Saiyin Chahun of Zhongcui Palace is still being kept in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, with the entire Khorchin standing behind him. If... by then, it is not certain who will sit in that position.

The Empress Dowager thought that this was probably the reason why the Emperor wanted to name the little prince Yinzuo, so that he could take the opportunity to lure out many people with ulterior motives. As for what would happen to the little prince in the end, the Emperor probably didn't care.

The Grand Empress Dowager suppressed her momentary impulse and asked, "Your Majesty, tell me honestly, do you want to make Yinreng the crown prince?"

Kangxi was silent, and the Empress Dowager also got the answer from Kangxi's silence.

"The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Since this is a matter of the previous dynasty, it is not convenient for me to interfere. Your Majesty will make your own judgment on who to choose.

But as the great-grandmother of the princes, I would like to advise you to think twice. Yinreng is still so young. If you put up a shield now, aren't you afraid of what might happen...

I am not cursing the emperor, but things are unpredictable. Have you ever thought that when the time really comes, the legitimate son's faction and the "Yinzuo" faction that you supported will definitely fight to the death.

No matter who wins in the end, the Qing Dynasty will be the loser."

"Does the Empress Dowager think this method is not good?"

The Empress Dowager frowned and asked, "Your Majesty is willing to take such a great risk. What exactly do you want to gain?"

"I am simply worried that a prince who has been blessed with everything since childhood will lose his vigilance and eventually grow up to be a wealthy idler, or perhaps a headstrong and self-righteous person."

"Your Majesty! Yinreng is still so young, and you're already thinking of preparing a whetstone for him. That's way too partial!"

"Grandmother, Yinreng is the legitimate son, and I want to make him the crown prince. Shouldn't I favor him?" Kangxi had an expression that said, "Isn't this only natural?"

"Is the emperor doing this because of Hesheli?"

"It's because of Chenghu."
