Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Yinreng Yifa lived in seclusion, and he basically did not leave Yuqing Palace, except to send Hongchang and Hongxi to study in the study every day, and when he returned to Yuqing Palace, he only read and practiced calligraphy in the study, and his demeanor was calm and calm. , and nothing unusual.

The crown prince is stable, so naturally the hearts of everyone in Yuqing Palace are also stable.Therefore, even though unfavorable rumors about the Crown Prince were flying around, it did not affect the normal life in Yuqing Palace.

However, on the cusp of this crisis, some people are busy alienating Yinreng, but some are also busy wanting to come to Yinreng to find out what happened. Among them, Sibeile Yinzhen is the most enthusiastic.

However, Yinreng guessed what Yinzhen was thinking early in the morning, and sent someone to send him a letter, telling him to be calm and not to come to Yuqing Palace, and let Yinzhen concentrate on his own errands.

This time Yinzhen was not able to follow Kangxi on his southern tour because Kangxi gave Yinzhen the task of supervising the repair of several princely mansions. Yinzhen discussed with Ling Pu together.

Yinreng didn't see Yinzhen, and he didn't want Yinzhen to send a letter. He planned to go through this period of time alone.

Because, in Yinreng's heart, he had long been prepared for this.It's just that he didn't expect that Kangxi would do such a terrible thing, and even use Zhang Fengyang to provoke the relationship between him and the Empress Dowager Renxian. He said that the crown prince is a hypocrite who is completely unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unrighteous.

This is what makes Yinreng most upset and sad.Kangxi can suppress him, but why should the Empress Dowager Renxian be involved?Doesn't Kangxi care about the reputation of Empress Dowager Renxian at all?

"Yinfeng, why don't I accompany you out of the palace for a walk?"

Shi Shi really can't stand Yinreng like this anymore, they are husband and wife, even though Yinreng looks calm and calm, she can still feel the slight fluctuations in his heart.Under such circumstances, only immortals would not have any mood swings, right?

Shi clearly knew that Yinreng would not agree to her request, but she still spoke. In Shi's view, staying in Yuqing Palace is better than going out to relax, even if someone outside made irresponsible remarks, but She was still afraid that Yinreng would get sick from holding back in Yuqing Palace like this.

"It's not easy to go out of the palace at this time," Yinfeng said with a smile, "going out of the palace is a trivial matter, I'm afraid of causing Huang Ama's unnecessary suspicion. At this time, I should stay in Yufeng honestly. Qing Palace is better."

Shi Shi pursed her lips and said, "But, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable."

Yinfeng smiled and said: "I'm not uncomfortable, it's just expected. I'm just afraid that the matter of Zhang Fengyang will make the empress dowager feel uncomfortable. After all, after Dabai left, I rely on Zhang Fengyang to make the empress dowager happy. I just died like this, and I don't know what kind of smart person Huang Ama can find to serve the Empress Dowager when I look back."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shi remembered a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. After taking a look at Yinfeng, she saw that he was always smiling, so she asked: "Yinfeng, I always have a question in my heart. Are you and the emperor?" The Empress Dowager is not related by blood, she is just your grandmother in name, how come you have been so close to her since childhood? I see that Huang Ama has never been so close to the Empress Dowager."

After Shi Shi asked, seeing that Yinreng was still smiling and not angry, he said again: "I heard that you had acne when you were young, and you hugged the empress dowager and called you mother? It is precisely because of this, the empress dowager Why did the empress dowager take care of you for more than a year after you had acne?"

"Who told you this? It's a rumor."

Yinfeng couldn't help laughing for a while, then looked at Shi Shi and said: "At that time, although there was a nanny, there was also Huang Ama, I was not lacking in love, but Huang Ama was still thinking about San Francisco's affairs. Toil, I don’t put a lot of heart into me. As a child, I always hope to have a mother. At that time, I was feverish and confused. She's close."

Yinfeng's voice was a little lower: "Actually, at that time in the palace, I only felt comfortable when I was with the empress dowager. It is because she is not related to me by blood, she is my grandmother in name, she doesn't want to It will hurt my life, and will not harm my interests. I can get close to her without worrying about anything, it's that simple. At that time, I may have regarded the empress dowager as someone to rely on, and the empress dowager obviously It's the same, she also regards me as someone who can rest assured."

"Why? Why do you only feel comfortable with the Empress Dowager?" Shi Shi couldn't understand what Yinfeng said, and asked, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager at that time couldn't be trusted by you?"

Yinfeng smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Yuheng, you don't understand. The Empress Dowager and Huang Ama are different."

It is impossible for Shi Shi to understand his feelings.Even if he said that, he still believed that Shi still couldn't deeply understand his feelings.In fact, he knew in his heart that perhaps many people had doubts about his approach to the Empress Dowager. Probably, even the Empress Dowager herself had this doubt, but no one had ever asked him about it.

Only when Shi Shi asked, could he express his deepest feelings to Shi Shi for the first time.If Shi didn't ask, he would never have said these things to others.

"I don't understand, why can't you explain it to me?"

Shi took a deep look at Yinreng, and said firmly, "Yinreng, you have a secret in your heart."

Yinfeng laughed because of Shi's sharpness, and laughed for a while before saying: "I'll tell you, I have a secret in my heart. But this secret is really irrelevant, and there is really no need to tell it. I won't tell you, it's not me I don’t trust you. But even I am trying to forget this secret, so Yuheng, stop exploring.”

Yinfeng refused to say, so Shi could only stop asking.She is familiar with Yinreng's temperament, if he says he can't say it, he won't tell her.If she blindly explores, it may be self-defeating, and it will be difficult to end Yinfeng's anger when the time comes.

Yinfeng paused, and then said: "However, when something like Zhang Fengyang happened, for the sake of the empress dowager's reputation, I must not get too close to the empress dowager as before, so as not to implicate the empress dowager. I and Zhang Fengyang has never met, although I don't care about these slanders, I can't help but think about the Empress Dowager, after all, the future of the Empress Dowager still rests on Huang Ama."

Regardless of whether Zhang Fengyang's incident was written by Kangxi or not, it has achieved the desired effect.If this matter was really ordered by Kangxi, then he understood what Kangxi meant. Kangxi didn't want him to be so close to the Queen Mother Renxian. In order to avoid conflicts, Yinfeng could only follow Kangxi's wishes. Keep a distance from Empress Dowager Renxian.

Yinfeng thought silently in his heart, Kangxi did these things in order to suppress his influence, and then make him betray his relatives, and finally had to attach himself to Kangxi?

Even if such a thing happened, Yinreng had such a guess in his heart and was suppressed like this, he still wrote to Kangxi as usual and to the Empress Dowager Renxian, and the letter did not mention anything about him in the capital , but greeted Kangxi and Empress Dowager Renxian as usual, and tried to fulfill the obligations of a son and grandson.

However, this letter, which is no different from the past, is no longer the same feeling in Kangxi's eyes and in the eyes of Empress Dowager Renxian.

The letter written by Yinfeng still contained those words of greeting. If it were changed in the past, Kangxi would definitely feel heartwarming and warm when he saw those words of greeting him. Now that he reads these words, he no longer feels the same in his heart. He just feels false. , and then suspected that Yinfeng's writing these words did not come from the heart, they were all written in order to perfunctory him, otherwise, with all the rumors about him outside, how could he be so calm?

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more displeased he became, so he picked up a pen and only replied four words in the letter - I know.

This is the meaning of having read the letter and not wanting to say more.

Later, Kangxi went to greet Empress Dowager Renxian, but saw that Empress Dowager Renxian was also reading a letter from Yinrong.It turned out that the letters from Yinreng to Kangxi and Empress Dowager Renxian all arrived on the same day.

Empress Dowager Renxian saw that Kangxi was coming, and before Kangxi could speak, she showed Yinfeng's letter to Kangxi, and then said with a smile: "The prince still misses me so much. Has the emperor also received the letter from the prince? The prince is a filial son. child."

Kangxi glanced at the letter, but still felt displeased. How could he know that the greetings Yinrong wrote to the Empress Dowager were not his hypocrisy?

At a time like this, Yinreng does not honestly reflect on himself, what is the use of writing these letters!

At this moment, the angry Kangxi forgot that in the past, it was the rule he set up himself, asking Yinfeng to write to him to inquire about his daily life when he was out.

Kangxi returned the letter to Empress Dowager Renxian, pursed his lips tightly, and said: "Empress Dowager, I have decreed that I will not pursue the matter of Zhang Fengyang. He is dead. No matter whether the Crown Prince colluded with him or not, I will not I plan to investigate further. I have already told Jieshu that this matter is over. Zhang Fengyang dared to act so boldly. After all, the Empress Dowager was too lenient. I will send someone to the Empress Dowager later, but this time Come back, that clever eunuch can’t take any more.”

Kangxi knew very well the rumors about Zhang Fengyang in the capital, which spread after Zhang Fengyang's death.But this was not Kangxi's handwriting. Zhang Fengyang committed evil, but he was not so bold as to collude with the crown prince and instigate the empress dowager. Therefore, Kangxi allowed Jie Shu to kill Zhang Fengyang in order to reduce the influence.But Kangxi did not expect that someone would make a big fuss about it, and there would be another rumor to slander the crown prince.

Regarding the matter of Huala and others before, it was Kangxi who found out the facts, so he did it. The matter about Suo'etu and the crown prince was also spread by him by default, and he did so out of necessity.However, he couldn't tolerate someone taking advantage of Zhang Fengyang's matter to insult the crown prince. However, Zhang Fengyang's death was not proven.

Kangxi thought that if he could do this, he was already showing mercy to the crown prince.After all, he didn't check whether Zhang Fengyang had colluded with the crown prince, he had consciously shown mercy.

Moreover, at this juncture, Kangxi didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't send anyone to find out who was spreading rumors behind Zhang Fengyang's affairs. He just wanted to calm things down, so he ignored it.

However, to choose the chief eunuch for the empress dowager, he still had to choose an honest and taciturn one, so as not to cause trouble again.

Kangxi felt a little fortunate in his heart, the empress dowager was blinded by Yinreng, and she still spoke for Yinreng in front of him from time to time. Now that Zhang Fengyang's incident happened, the empress dowager can take a closer look and see what the crown prince is. kind of person.He didn't want the empress dowager to be deceived by Yinreng's rhetoric, and then do what she shouldn't do, say what she shouldn't say.

Regarding the matter of the crown prince, he has his own judgment in his heart, and there is no need for the empress dowager to speak later.
