The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 512 Ruthless
"Old Twelve's first three sons are gone, and now he has no children, there must be a son to inherit his title..."

"He doesn't have a title now, why do you insist on arranging for my child to be adopted by him?" Yan Hua's face turned cold, she couldn't listen to his explanation at all.Twelve years ago, because of being impeached, he was demoted from the county king to Beizi, and later because of other faults, even Beizi was dismissed. How can there be a title now?So what if the title of Twelve is restored in the future?If she gave birth to a son, he would be Hongli's own younger brother, and Hongli would inherit the throne in the future, shouldn't she give her younger brother a prince?Isn't it better than the county king?
"The old twelve was brought up by Su Mala's mother, and now she has no children, and Su Mala's mother can't feel at ease in the spirit of heaven... Chanchan, it's just a name to adopt the child to him, if you want to stay in the palace to raise it , just stay in the palace to raise her..."

For more than a year, he has been treating her very obediently, and he will never give her bad things if he can give her good. As a result, before her child was born, he planned to give this child to someone else as his son!She knew that the royal family had this tradition. For example, Yunlu, the sixteenth prince of the first emperor, was adopted by Prince Zhuang.But why did she adopt her son? Even if her son doesn't have a title in the future, she still wants to raise the child by her side and call her her mother.

Seeing her crying sadly, Yinzhen sighed a few times and didn't say any more. He only coaxed her softly while wiping her tears, and never mentioned the matter of adoption again.

Yanhua didn't sleep well all night, and when she sighed in annoyance at night, Yinzhen also quietly opened her eyes, hugged her and apologized.

She was angry with him for a few days because of this matter, and didn't answer him a word.

When she heard from Qian Gui that Hongshi was ill, she suddenly realized something.Perhaps, the reason why he wanted to adopt the child in her womb to Twelve was for Hongshi?But can he stop being so awkward, if he wants to take good care of Hongshi, he doesn't need to beat around the bush like this!

Because Twelve made a mistake before, it is impossible to restore the title soon in the past two years, so Twelve's salary has been much less!With his little salary, it is difficult to support a large family.Now they have to support Hongshi's family, so the situation can be imagined, they are living in a very difficult situation.

Besides, Twelve was dismissed as a noble, and no one would go to please him at this juncture, so it is impossible for him to get relief from other officials now.Because he is nothing now!If someone pleases the wrong person, he might be reprimanded by the emperor for forming a clique for personal gain!So who dares to send favors to Twelve indiscriminately.

Yanhua couldn't understand these entanglements, she just shook her head, and after throwing out her doubts, what was left was still anger.She remembered that Yinzhen had been a little weird since the beginning of the year, and he stared at her stomach more than once or twice before hesitating to speak.From this point of view, his plan to adopt her child to Twelve has also been carefully considered.

"Your Majesty, the emperor has summoned Su to promise to sleep with him these two days." Qian Gui carefully glanced at Yan Hua, not understanding why the two masters who were so gluey suddenly stopped talking.It's not right, the emperor is always rushing to talk to the empress, but the empress doesn't respond.Hey, the minds of the masters, their slaves really can't guess, and they don't understand.

Yanhua couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, when she ignored Yinzhen, every time he was bored in Jingren Palace, he would summon Su to promise, and let that pretty lady relieve him of boredom.She also didn't know if Su promised to be seductive in front of the emperor, anyway, Yinzhen hasn't gotten tired of her so far, so she felt that his eyes were getting worse and worse.

After Qian Gui retired, Concubine Yu saw that Yanhua was still gnashing her teeth like she was sullen, so she comforted her: "It's because you don't want to talk to the emperor yourself, so you can't force him not to find someone to complain about his troubles. Could it be because of you You can't control your emotions when you're pregnant, right?"

Yanhua was depressed, and when she heard what she said, she finally couldn't hold back: "He said, if I have another elder brother, he wants to adopt Uncle Twelve, can I not be angry?"

Concubine Yu was taken aback, they never asked about the affairs of the court, so they didn't know how the situation in the court was.She originally thought that the emperor would treat Yanhua badly if he loved Yanhua so much, but she didn't expect that Yanhua's mouth would be such a explosive news.She chewed for a long time before recovering from the shock: "Sister, what did you say? The emperor... wants to adopt the child in your belly to Uncle Twelve? What if it's a princess?"

"If it's a princess, I'll raise it by myself." Yanhua gritted her teeth resentfully. When she thought of the child she had laboriously conceived for so long, but wanted to call someone else her mother, she felt extremely sour.

Concubine Yu was stunned and paused on the spot for a long time before recovering.

If she is allowed to adopt her own Hong Zhou, she will feel bad.Once adopted, he is doomed to miss the throne.But Hong Zhou didn't intend to be an emperor at all, so that's okay.It's just that he became someone else's son, and he couldn't justifiably enter the palace to pay her respects in the future, let alone call her Erniang, which was really sad.

I will cry if I continue.Seeing Yanhua's gloomy look, she went to sit with her on the kang couch: "Talk to him carefully, he will understand your reluctance."

"He said that if he is reluctant, the child can be raised in the palace after being adopted by Uncle Twelfth. Sister, even so, I still feel uncomfortable."

"Actually... I heard people say that after the death of the eighth and ninth masters last year, many people seemed to secretly say that the emperor mutilated his siblings and broke the rules of the ancestors... So, the emperor may have some embarrassment. You have a good talk with him Let’s talk, it’s useless to be so angry.” Seeing that she was neither sitting nor standing, Yu Pin put a cushion on the kang couch and asked her to lie down for a while.

"I don't know, but every time I think of him thinking like this, I feel uncomfortable, so I can't talk properly." Yanhua rubbed her belly sadly, full of sadness...

At the beginning of April, a puff of thick smoke rose from the sky above Chengqian Palace. The palace people were shocked and rushed around to tell each other that Chengqian Palace had leaked.The guards guarding outside the Chengqian Palace hurriedly carried water to put out the fire, but fortunately only one of the small rooms was flooded, and there were many burnt residues of old clothes in that empty room.Obviously, someone set the fire on purpose.

The movement in Chengqian Palace was so big that it alarmed the emperor.

When Concubine Qi was brought to the emperor, her face was haggard, but her clothes and hair accessories were neat and tidy, guarding her pride.

Yinzhen glanced at her indifferently, seeing her withered complexion, he froze for a moment: "The fire was set by you? If you don't save it in time, what are you going to do?"

"The concubine has to die. It is better to be buried in the sea of ​​fire than to die on the couch. I am hungry and cold all day long, and I can't even go to the imperial doctor. Isn't the emperor looking forward to the concubine's return to the West as soon as possible? Hehe..." Her eyes were stubborn He turned pale, raised his head to cover his mouth and nose, and coughed twice.

"Your temper has always been so stubborn." He sighed, not knowing whether it was a compliment or a derogation.In fact, he was a little surprised to hear her say that she had been in bed for a long time, because no one had told him about it.It's just that, until now, it doesn't make much sense to think about it, and he doesn't want to pursue it.

She didn't squint, stared straight at the tall man, and said in a desolate tone: "Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless, and the concubine has finally lost to her own wishful thinking. If I had known today, why did the concubine want to do it at the beginning? The concubine only wants the emperor." After a while, he is the emperor's flesh and blood after all!"

He turned cold and displeased: "You have asked too much, and you have changed too much. I always remember that you used to have a pure heart, even if you were a bit bitter, you never had the intention of harming others."

"Without love, I am picky no matter how I look at it. The courtiers and concubines have always been like this. It is the emperor who has changed without knowing it." Concubine Qi smiled, and had no intention of reconciling with him.With her current appearance, even she didn't want to look in the mirror anymore, so how could she hope to catch his eyes.That being the case, she simply spoke with her own pride.

The pen in his hand paused, but there was no response.When he looked at her now, he was really picky about how he looked at her.He said she had changed, but she also thought he had changed.After all, it's because of the loss of the original warmth that people get tired of seeing it twice.

"The concubine may have done something wrong, but she can't see Shi'er suffering. If the emperor wants to grant the concubine death, the concubine will have no complaints. I just ask the emperor to release Shi'er and let him be the concubine's son. The concubine only has such a child alive, and I hope the emperor will make it happen." Concubine Qi bowed to the ground, if it wasn't for Hongshi, she would not want to fight like this anymore, she was exhausted physically and mentally.

"Up to now, you still don't know how to repent, so I have to be disappointed. Hongshi has come to this point because he was pampered by you." Yinzhen's tone was dull, his eyes were strange, and he had no pity at all.

"He is the emperor's son, and it is not the son's fault to teach his father. If the emperor thinks that he is not good enough, then the emperor himself is not responsible." She didn't think there was anything wrong with Hongshi, so she didn't want to admit Yinzhen's accusation at all.

He remembered that Chanchan also said the phrase "the son is not the fault of the father", but why was there so much love in her eyes when she said this?As for Li Qinyu, her eyes were filled with hatred and indifference.She blamed him for empathizing with others, but she never thought about what she did herself.

Why can his Chanchan and Yupin maintain their kindness for more than 20 years, but they can't?

"It's my fault, but what's the use of complaining about it now?" He sighed, stopped writing and got up, walked to stand in front of her, "It's not that I don't know many things, but it's just that I didn't break through the old feelings. But you are becoming more and more ignorant, and you never know how to reflect on your past. I am sad and disappointed. You don’t have to argue with me anymore. You know what you have done. You don’t want to try to let me go Liao Hongshi, for what he did, it would be considered magnanimous for me to spare his life."

Concubine Qi muttered for a while, then smiled dryly, and at the end she only said desolately: "The emperor is really so ruthless."

Yinzhen didn't want to talk to her any more, he just waved his hand, motioning for someone to help her down.After the person retreated, he looked at Su Peisheng: "Let Wei Chang'an withdraw the person. From now on, Chengqian Palace will remain the same as before, and her food and clothing expenses will not be shortened."

"Zha~ Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Xi hasn't eaten since last night."

Only then did his stunned look subside, and his brows furrowed: "You're messing around again, how can a pregnant person not eat? Go to Jingren Palace!"
