Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 318: Take Control of Your Own Destiny

Wanlin looked at the man opposite her who had always held the initiative with burning eyes.

"I feel that the risks of adopting someone else's child are too great."

"If the day that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has mentioned really comes true, supporting someone else's child to ascend to the throne would be fine if the person is conscientious and filial."

"If I meet an ungrateful person, wouldn't that be like making wedding clothes for others?"

"And killing the mother and keeping the child is extremely risky. There is no wall in this world that is impenetrable."

"Once the truth is revealed, it will be a disaster, not a blessing, for me and my family."

"Your Highness should be able to see that the mother-son relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager is actually quite good within the royal family. After all, His Majesty is a man who values ​​filial piety."

"Even so, the Queen Mother is not always satisfied in the harem, and His Majesty is also not happy with Korchin..."

"Besides, not everyone is like His Majesty."

"Besides, the Niuhulu clan is no unknown clan. Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good relationship with the Niuhulu clan now, if it comes to that position in the future, I'm afraid he will fight with the Guarjia clan to the bitter end."

"Even if Your Highness were to mediate, it would probably be of little use."

"Such a greedy act will only harm the family."

After hearing what the person opposite him said, Yinreng straightened his expression.

[As expected of someone who had been a Crown Princess for many years in her previous life.]

[He sees things clearly and isn't blinded by my words or the promise of future benefits.]

[You can also analyze the pros and cons.]

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Yinreng nodded.

"If Concubine has any ideas, please feel free to speak up."

Wanlin looked directly at the prince, her gaze unyielding.

"I think it's better to support my own children than to support other people's children. What do you think, Your Highness?"

"I just wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give it up?"

Yinreng looked back with a sharp gaze.

"I'm afraid Concubine has lost her mind."

"Concubine just said that there is no wall that is impenetrable. How come you forgot so quickly?"

"And if this matter is leaked, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Wanlin's heart was extremely excited at this moment, and she no longer felt any fear or tension.

"Your Highness, if you decide to place your hopes on others, why not take your destiny into your own hands?"

Yinreng remained silent and stared at her for a long time, seeing the seriousness, determination and faint excitement and madness in her eyes.

In the end, Yinreng suppressed the anger in his heart, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, put the cup down casually and stood up.

"I still need to think about this matter."

"I'll give you the results in a while."

Wanlin knew that he was interested, so she stood up, smiled at Yinreng, and bowed.

"Yes."

"Then I will wait for good news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

More than a month has passed since the last time the two met to discuss something.

In February, Nian Gengyao was promoted to the third rank cabinet scholar and was given the title of vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.

In March, the emperor ordered the princes to be enfeoffed again.

The third son of the emperor, Yinzhi, was promoted to Prince Cheng.

The fourth prince Yinzhen was promoted to Prince Yong.

The fifth prince Yinqi was promoted to Prince Heng.

The seventh prince Yinyou was promoted to Prince Chun.

The eighth prince Yinsi was promoted to Beile.

The ninth prince, Yinzhen, was promoted to Prince Gong.

The tenth prince Yin'e was promoted to Prince of Dun.

The twelfth prince Yinlu was promoted to Beizi.

The thirteenth prince Yinxiang was promoted to Beile.

The fourteenth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, was promoted to Beizi.

Concubine Yi in the harem was very proud after hearing the imperial edict issued by the previous emperor.

Her only two sons now are a prince and a duke.

She can be said to be the most glorious woman in the harem today.

However, Kangxi not only issued edicts to enfeoff the princes in the previous dynasty, but also issued several imperial edicts to confer titles on the princes in the harem.

Although the eldest prince Yinzhen was stripped of his title and imprisoned, Kangxi still cared about this son.

Therefore, the first decree from the harem was to restore the title of Yinzhen's biological mother, Concubine Nara, and make her Concubine Hui again.

In consideration of her two adult sons, Concubine Uya's title was restored and she became Concubine De again.

The biological mother of Prince Chun Yinyou, Concubine Dai Jia, was canonized as Chengpin.

The biological mother of the eighth prince Yinsi was also promoted from Liangpin to Liangfei.

Consort Wang, the mother of the fifteenth prince Yinyu and the sixteenth prince Yinlu, was promoted to the rank of concubine.

However, these concubines did not undergo the enthronement ceremony.

After all the imperial edicts were issued, both the court and the harem were filled with joy.

However, all this joy has little to do with Yuqing Palace.

The last time when Kangxi was dividing the fiefdoms among the princes, he called Yinreng to the Qianqing Palace, where the father and son had a close conversation and discussion.

However, this time the enfeoffment of the princes was suddenly announced by Kangxi directly in the court.

Yinreng had never heard his father mention it before.

Yinreng now saw clearly the suspicion and vigilance between the father and son, and naturally no longer had any illusions in his heart.

So Yinreng doesn't care about these things at all now.

He already had a desperate plan.

However, he would have to make arrangements for his escape route before deciding whether to do so.

If Khan Ama really disregards his feelings later, he would like to see what Khan Ama will choose when he kills most of his brothers!

However, Yinreng was not willing to do so for the time being unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yinreng now looked coldly at Khan Ama distributing fiefs to his brothers, knowing that he wanted to stir up his brothers' ambitions, make them fight among themselves, and consume his own strength.

Not only that, he also followed the rules and divided the Manchu, Mongolian, Han and Imperial Household Department's Baoyi Zuoling into his sons.

The political situation changed as a result. The power of the princes increased, while the prince became weak. The confrontation became more obvious than before, and the desire to seize the throne arose.

Among them, the Bordered White Banner where the Nian family was located was assigned to Prince Yong, and since then the Nian family has also become a member of Prince Yong's palace.

Concubine Mu Wanlin had been having people keep an eye on the Nian family, and she was not surprised at all when she heard the news.

Instead, he paid more attention to the daughter of the Nian family.

Over the years, the daughters of the family have been married one after another, and now the only one who is still unmarried is the youngest.

Her name is Nian Xinyue. She was born in the 39th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign and is only ten years old this year.

Wanlin was certain that this woman would be appointed as Prince Yong's concubine.

Now that he has been promoted from a prince to a prince, there is a vacancy for a concubine.

And according to his age in the new month, he should have participated in the general election in the 52nd year of the Kangxi reign.

By that time, he would be fourteen years old, which was just in time for the 52nd general election.

Seeing that Nian Gengyao was beginning to gain power, Wanlin was also preparing to contact her family and to persuade Yinzhen to join the military camp.

Anyway, the relationship between the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master is getting better and better. In addition, the Fourth Master blocked the knife for the Fourteenth Master before the New Year, so Yinzhen has become even closer to his biological brother, the Fourth Master.

Although he was also close to his eighth brother Yinsi, he obviously had a better relationship with his fourth brother.

Wanlin had planned long ago to use Yinzhen to suppress Nian Gengyao.

Amidst the joy, the Eighth Prince's Mansion next to Prince Yong's Mansion had another "happy event".

However, neither the Eighth Prince Yinsi nor the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo was very happy.
