The life of a man on the road of film and television
Chapter 204: Ruyi 1 (Continued from Legend of Zhen Huan)
At this point, Hongli no longer understood what Yongzheng meant.
The person he liked, he stayed in the palace all year round, and apart from the concubines and palace maids, how could he see any other women?
It seems that the Emperor knew that he sent people to inquire about the matter of the Ulanara family's legitimate daughter yesterday.
He knew that Yongzheng was testing him. Hongli felt very regretful for his recklessness yesterday, but since things had come to this point, he gritted his teeth, decided to take a gamble, and knelt down with his robe lifted.
"I dare not hide it from you, Father. Yesterday, I went to watch an opera with my third brother. I fell in love with a girl at first sight. So before returning to the palace, I sent someone to inquire about her. It turned out that the girl was the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara Mansion. I was thinking about how to ask Father for permission. I would like to trouble you to care about me."
At this moment, Hongli lowered his head slightly, with a look of first love on his face. After he said this, he looked up at Yongzheng, then leaned forward and kowtowed with a very solemn expression.
"Father, I am attracted to the princess of the Ulanara family. Please grant my blessing."
Yongzheng, who was at the top, finally opened his eyes at this time, and looked at Hongli with a meaningful look.
"You are honest, but I intend to give you the legitimate daughter of Fucha as your wife, Hongli, do you still insist?"
Hearing that the Emperor was going to give Fucha's daughter to him as his wife, Hongli was both happy and regretful. However, his mind was unusually calm today. He instantly realized that he must not change his mind now, otherwise he would become a person who despised the poor and loved the rich in the Emperor's mind.
"Your Majesty, I am attracted to the princess of the Ulanara family. Please grant my blessing."
He said this cleverly. He only said that he liked Qingying, but he did not refuse Fucha who was given to him by the emperor. Now it depends on what the emperor decides.
"No regrets?"
Yongzheng could see through Hongli's little thoughts, but he did not feel disgusted. Instead, he was somewhat satisfied with Hongli's persistence, but he still did not show it on his face.
"My son, I have no regrets."
"I understand, go down"
Although Yongzheng did not give him a clear answer, Hongli now knew that now was the time to get into a fight with Yongzheng.
So even though he was extremely hesitant, he still left the Yangxin Palace.
As he walked down the stairs, Hongli looked back at the palace he had always dreamed of living in. After a long while, he returned to the West Fifth Building with great trepidation.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Prince Yi, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked in.
"Brother, Hongli is pretty good."
He heard the conversation just now. Although he didn't watch Hongli grow up, he could still see through him a little with his keen eyesight.
This child is smart and knows what can make him more valuable. If he is trained well, he can become a wise ruler.
"He is just too clever. You have also heard about his recent affair with Concubine Fang, right?"
"After all, he is still a child. Other brothers have mothers. He may not say it on his face, but he is envious in his heart."
Prince Yi knew that this incident made Yongzheng have some opinions about Hongli, but he still couldn't help but say a few words for Hongli.
His mother passed away when he was thirteen, leaving him and his sister to depend on each other. In the cannibalistic harem of the Emperor's father, if it weren't for his fourth brother's care, he might not have grown up to this age. So he felt especially empathetic towards Hongli.
"You"
He understood what Prince Yi meant, but Yongzheng was not stupid. It was not that he could not give Qingying to Hongli. After all, Qingying was also Chunyuan's niece, and looking at the two of them reminded him of himself and Chunyuan.
He was just worried that the Queen was behind this matter. He had now completely seen through the Queen's true face. If Concubine Uya hadn't stopped her before, she would have mentioned Chun Yuan to him again and again.
If not for this, he would have deposed this poisonous queen long ago. His only worry was that the queen would interfere in Hongli's affairs and cause problems for Hongli's offspring.
It is said that Prince Yi was Yongzheng's closest brother. He was definitely the first to understand what Yongzheng was thinking.
"Your Majesty, why don't you just do as Hongli wishes? I think Concubine Fang is a kind person. With her around, she will be a protection for you when you can't take care of her."
After thinking about it, Yongzheng finally agreed to Prince Yi's proposal. In his heart, Concubine Fang was a gentle and considerate woman. She had been in contact with Hongli in recent days, and Yongzheng felt sorry for Hongli.
He is just an adopted son. Even if Concubine Fang has some ulterior motives, it is not a big problem for Yongzheng.
However, he did not issue an edict directly. Instead, he waited until the marriages were granted to Hongli and the other two before issuing an edict to change Hongli's yellow belt to Concubine Fang's name.
At the same time, because of her contribution in raising the royal heir, Concubine Fang's title was changed to Xi, and she enjoyed the same treatment as a noble concubine.
Since Yongzheng did not hold a beauty contest this year, but there were only a few women of appropriate age who could be married to princes, in mid-May, after some investigation, Yongzheng conferred titles and granted marriages to all his adult princes.
The third prince Hongshi was granted the title of Prince An and was granted marriage to Dong'e, the daughter of the Minister of Rites of the Bordered Red Banner, as his principal wife. She entered the palace on July 16. Zhong, the legitimate daughter of the general stationed in Guangxi, was made his concubine, and she entered the palace on July 1.
The fourth prince Hongli was given the title of Baobei Le, and was granted marriage to the daughter of Fucha, the former governor of Chahar in the Bordered Yellow Banner, as his principal wife, who entered the palace on the first day of August. The daughter of Ulanara, a captain, was made his concubine, who entered the palace on the fourteenth day of July.
The fifth prince Hong Zhou was granted the title of Beile and was granted marriage to the daughter of Wu Zhaku, deputy governor of the Red Banner, as his principal wife. She entered the palace on the tenth day of the tenth month. The daughter of Zhang Jia, lieutenant general of the imperial guards, was made his concubine, who entered the palace on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month.
When the Queen of Jingren Palace got the news, she felt regretful but also glad that her plan had finally succeeded. Although Qingying was only a concubine, as long as there was affection and as long as Hongli fell in love with the woman from their Ulanala family like the Emperor did, then Qingying's child would definitely become emperor, and their Ulanala family would have a chance to succeed.
But when she was overjoyed and saw Jianqiu's hesitant look on her face, the queen's heart skipped a beat. She clutched the jade ruyi in her hand tightly and shouted sternly.
"Just say whatever you want to say. What's the point of being so hesitant?"
This angry shout made Jianqiu kneel down directly. She pursed her lips and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty left the Fourth Prince's jade disc with Your Majesty Fangfei."
Jianqiu's words were like a heavy thunder hitting the queen. She narrowed her eyes in disbelief, wondering if she had heard it wrong, and asked.
"what are you talking about"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued an order together with the imperial decree granting marriage. Your Majesty Fang is now the Fourth Prince's adoptive mother. Her title is changed to Xi. You are now the Imperial Concubine Xian."
After saying the words that might cost him his life, Jianqiu knelt on the ground, trembling in fear, not even daring to raise his head.
"presumptuous!"
The queen threw the jade ruyi in her hand away, and stood up trembling. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She stood up with a dull look in her eyes and walked towards the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, why, why does Your Majesty treat me like this?"
As smart as she was, how could the Queen not see that Yongzheng registered the already adult Fourth Prince under the name of Concubine Fang in order to guard against her.
It seems that the emperor has already realized that she was the mastermind behind Qingying and Hongli's meeting.
But she just wants to be the only empress dowager. Your Majesty, why are you so wary of her?
The queen staggered to the bedroom door, and then she suddenly seemed to think of something and burst into laughter.
