Chapter 77: Worker Yixiu goes crazy after rebirth
The only one who was happy about this scene was Yinzhen. His good brothers made such a big fuss when they learned that the fourth brother's eldest son was born today.
I hate him so much that I want to kill him.
Look, those dirty things are coming into Yixiu's yard as if they are free.
Yixiu gave the loyalty talisman to the two wet nurses, and then looked at the things in the system mall with a sad face.
She wanted to buy a pill that was immune to all poisons, but it cost 30 merits, which she couldn't afford now. In fact, she could afford the merits of cowpox, but the merits were taken away by the system and 9% were given to Chi Meng.
The remaining 10% will be returned to Chi Meng from the system mall.
Fortunately, Kangxi sent secret guards to protect Yixiu and her son, otherwise they would have died countless times.
Kangxi would listen to the reports from the secret guards every day. When he learned that Rouze was dancing in the Fourth Prince's mansion wearing the auspicious dress of Concubine De, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Then, when he heard that Concubine De and Ulanara were plotting to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he had a new understanding of his own Jie Yuhua.
As a result, Yixiu had not yet finished her confinement, and Yinzhen, for some reason, went to Kangxi and asked to marry Rouze as his concubine.
When Yinzhen stepped into the imperial study, the sun was shining through the exquisite window lattices onto the golden dragon throne, making the whole room magnificent. He walked steadily, with a look of determination and expectation on his face, as if he had something important to report to Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, flipping through the memorials in his hands, his brows revealing majesty and wisdom. He looked up and saw Yinzhen coming in, nodded slightly, and motioned him to come forward.
Yinzhen walked up to Kangxi and bowed deeply: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Yinzhen: "Fourth Brother, what are you doing here today?"
Yinzhen raised his head and looked at Kangxi firmly: "I have a favor to ask, I hope Your Majesty will grant my approval."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's the matter?"
Yinzhen took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "I would like to ask the Emperor for permission to grant Ulanara Rouze to me as his concubine."
Kangxi frowned when he heard this, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He recalled his father's merciless abuse in his dream, and his impression of Rouze was greatly reduced.
What's more, he was well aware of the deep affection between Yinzhen and Yixiu. Now that Honghui had just been born, it was really puzzling that Yinzhen made such a request.
"Old Four, do you know what you are saying?" Kangxi's voice was harsh, "You and Yixiu are deeply in love, and now that Honghui has just been born, you propose to marry a concubine. Aren't you afraid of hurting Yixiu's heart?"
Yinzhen lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I know it's wrong to do this, but I fell in love with Rouze at first sight. I can't let her down."
Kangxi sneered, "Falling in love at first sight? Humph, you are actually a romantic? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just want to take this opportunity to let Rouze enter the palace so that the Ulanara clan will support you more."
Yinzhen was speechless after hearing what Kangxi said. He did have such an idea, but he also truly liked Rouze and wanted to give her a status.
He raised his head, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "Father, I know you don't like Rouze, but please trust my judgment. Rouze is kind and innocent, not what you think."
Kangxi angrily slammed the dragon throne, stood up, pointed at Yinzhen and shouted:
"You! How dare you talk back to me like this! Do you think I don't know your little tricks? For the sake of a woman, you actually ignored Yixiu and Honghui. I really misjudged you!"
Yinzhen turned pale after being scolded by Kangxi. He knelt on the ground and buried his head deeply: "I know I am wrong. Please calm down, Father."
Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He turned around and walked back to the dragon throne and sat down, taking a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart.
"Fourth Brother, remember, as a prince, your marriage is no joke. I can promise you to let Rouze enter the palace, but only as a princess. As for Yixiu, she is your first wife and Honghui's biological mother. You should treat her well."
Yinzhen raised his head, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he finally lowered his head: "Your son obeys your order."
Suddenly, the fleeting figure of a fairy like that from heaven flashed through his mind, and then he thought back to Rouze's face.
It is beautiful, but it is far inferior to that stunning glimpse.
Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Back off."
Yinzhen stood up, bowed again, and slowly left the imperial study. His heart was filled with disappointment but not much reluctance.
When Rou Ze learned the news that she was entering the Fourth Prince's mansion as a princess, she was sitting alone by the window in her boudoir, playing with an exquisite jade pendant in her hand.
The sunlight shines through the gauze curtains onto her fair skin, highlighting her pure and elegant temperament.
However, at this moment, her face was full of disbelief and surprise, and her clear eyes flashed with complex emotions.
She looked up out the window, and the world under the blue sky and white clouds seemed to become blurred in an instant.
Rouze's heart was full of confusion and resentment. She was obviously the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara family and had a noble status, so why could she only enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a lowly princess?
She stood up and paced back and forth in the room, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the feeling of loss and unwillingness always lingered in her heart.
She couldn't help but recall every detail of her acquaintance with Yinzhen, and those sweet memories have now become a thorn in her heart.
When Rouze's mother heard the news, she was also furious. She sat in the main seat in the main hall, tightly holding the teacup in her hand, as if she wanted to inject the power of anger into it.
She watched Rouze walk into the room, a trace of heartache and helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"Mom, I won't give up!" Rouze walked to her mother, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I am clearly the legitimate daughter of the Ulanara family, why do I have to suffer such injustice?"
"In the end, that lowly concubine's daughter stepped on my head."
Rouze's mother sighed and patted the back of her hand gently:
"My daughter, this is fate. Your father has tried his best, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey. We can only prepare more dowry so that your life in the Fourth Prince's mansion can be easier."
Rouze looked up at her mother, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes:
"Mother, I won't just accept my fate. I'm going to find the Fourth Master and ask for clarification!"
After saying this, she turned around and was about to walk out. Rouze's mother hurriedly stopped her:
"Daughter, calm down! What can you do if you go to the Fourth Master now? The Emperor has given his order, how can you and I interfere?"
Rouze stopped and tears finally burst out:
"Then what should I do? Am I just going to watch myself being wronged?"
Rouze's mother hugged her daughter distressedly:
"My daughter, you must know that there are always things in life that go wrong. We cannot change our fate, but we can change our mindset. Now that you have entered the Fourth Prince's mansion, you must be careful with your words and actions and try your best to please the Fourth Master. With his love and children, are you still afraid that you won't be able to enjoy wealth and glory in the future?"
"Besides, nothing is set in stone. If something happens to that lowly concubine, you will still become the legitimate wife."
Rouze sobbed in her mother's arms, and the resentment and anger in her heart were gradually replaced by rationality.
She knew that she couldn't just sink into despair and had to cheer up and face reality.
In the following days, Rouze began to get busy.
She selected the most precious dowry, prepared her wedding dress, and tried hard to make herself look more radiant, but unfortunately as a princess she could only wear a pink wedding dress.
However, she could never completely let go of the loss and unwillingness in her heart.
Finally, the day of entering the mansion arrived. Rouze wore a pink wedding dress and sat in a small sedan chair. She was carried into the Fourth Prince's mansion. She looked at the somewhat familiar mansion, feeling anxious and uneasy.
This time when I entered the house, I had completely different identities and I became a member of this mansion.
The moment she walked into the mansion, she saw Yinzhen.
He stood in front of the hall, looking at her deeply. A complex emotion surged in Rouze's heart.
She wanted to rush forward to question Yinzhen, but finally she held back.
Yinzhen looked at Rouze with mixed feelings. He knew that he had deep feelings for Rouze, but he always felt empty inside.
He walked forward, helped Rouze up, and said softly: "Rouzhe, from now on you will belong to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I will do my best to protect you and let you live a stable life here."
Rouze raised her head and looked into Yinzhen's eyes, trying to find traces of their previous love.
However, the passionate love she saw was not as strong as before. She felt a little disappointed, but still managed to force a smile: "Thank you, Fourth Master."
It was dark, and under the candlelight, Rouze's face became even more prettier.
Yinzhen was distracted for a moment, then he picked up Rouze and slowly walked towards the bed. This night was really...
The bridal chamber was warm last night.
The garden is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the sweet chirping of birds.
The red candle shines brightly and people live long.
Only two of us know this feeling.
