Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 280 Kangxi Concubine Ping 17

After talking about the child, Concubine Cheng also mentioned the incident in which the Crown Prince made a scene at the eldest prince's daughter's full-month banquet.

"You must have heard about the Crown Prince and the eldest prince. How can there be no peace and quiet every day? I, Yinyou, am afraid that I will be implicated by them."

"Don't worry, the emperor is watching everything! Just wait, the emperor will take action."

Wu Lingzhu is very satisfied with the current situation.

The battle for the throne among the nine princes had long been out of Kangxi's control. It was not that he could not control it, but that the scope was too wide and too large.

In her first life, it was almost fifty years after Emperor Kangxi's reign that this kind of situation of either you or I would die occurred. Kangxi could certainly call a halt, but the cost of stopping was too high.

But if we don't stop, this country will be difficult to govern.

Although Kangxi had to balance the court, he knew that he could only maintain balance if the court was in place. If he allowed them to continue making trouble, the Qing Dynasty would be seriously damaged if not destroyed.

This was unacceptable to Kangxi, who was determined to become the greatest emperor of all time.

After Chengpin left, Yinxu became interested and asked, "Mother, do you think the emperor will take action?"

Wu Lingzhu didn't answer, but asked: "Are you interested?"

"This is not curiosity. I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days."

Yinxu is the son of a favorite concubine. Wu Lingzhu has always favored him for many years and he is the evergreen in the harem. As her son, he has been courted by many people.

No one regarded him as an opponent at this moment, after all, he was only a teenager.

Wu Lingzhu is favored, but he has no apparent power.

Although the Hesheli family has some background, that background is still in the hands of the prince, not Yinzhu's turn. Besides, Wu Lingzhu is not very warm to her mother's family.

He is favored, but not a big threat to the previous dynasty. The Crown Prince tries to win him over, and the eldest prince also joins in the fun.

Kangxi liked Yinju, so they acted like brothers.

It's quite annoying that I have to cooperate with you.

Wu Lingzhu: "If the emperor doesn't take action, the government will be in trouble."

Yinxu was very good at grasping the key points: "State affairs? Mother also knows about state affairs!"

Wu Lingzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a slightly shocked expression, "Why, do you think mother shouldn't understand?"

Yinxu immediately shook his head: "No, absolutely not, my son just didn't expect it."

Wu Lingzhu said meaningfully: "There will be many things you haven't expected in the future."

Yinju was not a fool. The more he heard this, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked up at Wu Lingzhu, lowered his head, and looked again. He repeated this several times, which made Wu Lingzhu very happy.

"Just tell your mother what you want to say, don't play tricks on her."

Yinxu chuckled: "Mother, do you also want me to be as ambitious as the second and eldest brothers, the crown prince?"

What this ambition refers to is beyond words and can be understood without explanation.

Wu Lingzhu shook his head: "What do you think?"

Yinxu thought about it carefully and shook his head: "I don't think my mother asked me to do anything."

"You have no ambitions now, and I don't know what you will think in the future. But no matter what you think or what you choose, I will not force you to do something you don't like."

Yinju thought his mother was really nice, but he also felt something was wrong: "Mother, what do you think of Wu Zetian?"

His voice was small.

Wu Lingzhu looked at him and asked: "Why, are you afraid that your mother will do something to you?"

"No, my son never thought so."

"There has only been one person like Wu Zetian since ancient times. I dare not compare myself with her. I don't have that much ability."

It is more interesting to say that not having such great ability does not mean not having such great ambition.

Wu Lingzhu continued, "You actually want to ask what mother thinks of your royal father's position, right?"

Yinju remained silent, which also indicated his agreement.

Wu Lingzhu: "Mother will not hide it from you. Mother will definitely fight for it."

Yinxu was no longer shocked. Wu Lingzhu didn't pretend much in front of him. Kangxi might think that Wu Lingzhu loved him terribly, but Yinxu didn't think that Wu Lingzhu loved Kangxi that much.

Moreover, Wu Lingzhu's focus was different from other concubines in the harem, and she was exceptionally well-informed. He had already had his suspicions.

"Mother, my son..."

Wu Lingzhu interrupted him: "If you are willing, when mother succeeds, the position will be yours. If you are not willing, then go and do what you want, and mother will take over everything."

No matter what, she was going to fight for it, and if she didn't succeed, she would die.

"Mother! Can I ask you why?"

Wu Lingzhu stood up, without looking at him, and said: "Do you know when my mother entered the palace?"

Yinxu shook his head. No one had told him this.

"I entered the palace in the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. My mother was only 10 years old that year."

Yinxu was somewhat shocked.

"Too young, right? I fell seriously ill after entering the palace. If the Queen Mother hadn't had some compassion for me, I might not have survived. At that time, the Emperor and the Crown Prince didn't even ask a single question."

Yinxu didn't know all this. What he cared more about was Kangxi's favor towards Wu Lingzhu and the respect that the harem had for Wu Lingzhu.

"Didn't you expect that my mother could be so miserable? In fact, being sick is a small matter. It was at that time that I realized that the emperor didn't value me, and my mother's family didn't value me much either."

"Later, when I was older, I finally started sleeping with the prince and gained favor. But I couldn't have children because the servants around the prince didn't allow it. The emperor also knew about it and acquiesced."

Yinxu couldn't help but say: "What right does the prince have? How could the emperor allow it?!"

Wu Lingzhu sneered, "Of course not. The prince's servants arranged for someone to enter Chuxiu Palace and gave me birth control pills for several years. It was not until the Empress Dowager died and the Emperor was seriously ill that the prince's performance was unsatisfactory. I did not interfere. A year later, the Empress Dowager's mourning period ended, and then mother had you."

Yinxu didn't expect that his birth had such a complicated story.

"I have fought hard all the way to where I am today. I could have survived if I hadn't fought hard, but what are the grievances I have suffered in the past? The Crown Prince is still the high and mighty Crown Prince. If he becomes the Emperor one day, how can I be willing to submit to him?"

Wu Lingzhu did not say her hatred towards Kangxi, and Yinju still had a father-son relationship with Kangxi.

After hearing this, Yinxu felt he had no right to advise.

After a long silence, Yinxu raised his head and said, "Mother, what do you need your son to do?"

He just had no ambition, but his mother did have ambition, and she had her reasons, so he couldn't say anything against it. Of course, he also knew that it was useless to object.

Do you want to fight?

need.

Wu Lingzhu paused for a moment before saying, "Just be the same as before. Be a filial son, a good brother, and a good younger brother. I will take care of the rest. As for the future, if you don't like being bound, I will help you, or find you a wife who can help you."

She didn't want to put too much pressure on Yinxu.

The throne was her means of revenge, or the result. In fact, she did not have an extreme desire for power.

Yinxu didn't try to be smart and said what he was going to do. He nodded and said, "Son, I understand. As for the matter of Fu Jin, I need to think about it again."

“It’s something to consider.”

Born into a royal family, Yinju matured very precociously. He never longed for love. His consideration was about the future.
