I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 211 Nian Gengyao (4)

When the two of them, mainly because An Lingrong reached the age, the Nian family arranged a marriage for them.

Nian Gengyao and An Lingrong now have a son.

Because of the friendship they had when they raised the cat "Xiaoguai" together, the relationship between Yinreng and Yinzhi in this life is much better.

The cartoons that Yinreng watched when he was young eventually made him more "people-friendly".

Over the years, he was friendly to his brothers, kind to his teachers, courteous to court officials, and his father-son relationship with Kangxi was very harmonious. He and the Crown Princess had already given birth to several imperial grandchildren. Both in terms of etiquette and behavior, he was worthy of the title of Crown Prince and was praised by everyone.

But the question of whether the father is old and the son is strong is an unsolvable one. Even though Kangxi himself knew that it was a bad thing to doubt the son because of the father, as the prince's power and prestige grew, and the emperor grew older day by day, Kangxi could not help but think about it.

The 47th year of Kangxi's reign. This is the time in history when Yinreng was deposed.

In fact, Nian Gengyao's original plan was to send Kangxi off at about the same time.

But he is Nian Gengyao.

He was a third place winner promoted by Emperor Kangxi himself, and a governor-general whom Emperor Kangxi cultivated with all his strength. Emperor Kangxi had the grace to recognize and support him, and he also had the firm trust in him.

Having received so many favors from Kangxi, it would be really difficult for Nian Gengyao to take action against Kangxi from his perspective.

But according to letters from his father and brothers in the capital, and from Tomato News Network, we know that the relationship between Kangxi and Yinreng has been very tense recently.

Kangxi was like someone going through menopause. Sometimes he was very harsh towards his older sons, especially Yinreng, and sometimes he was very cruel and torrential. His attitude towards them was sometimes gentle like the warm sun and sometimes as harsh as the cold winter, leaving the princes completely at a loss as to how to cope with the situation.

Nian Gengyao had every reason to believe that Kangxi would depose the crown prince this year.

So, now is the time when he must make a choice.

Listening to the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves outside, Nian Gengyao locked himself in his study all night.

When he came out again, he already had the answer.

A few days later, news came from the capital that Kangxi had suffered a stroke and became paralyzed because of the scandal that Longkodo of the Tong family indulged his concubine and degraded his wife.

Kangxi's "limbs were so stiff that he could not move", so of course he had to abdicate the throne and let others take over.

Kangxi thus became the emperor emeritus. The first thing Yinreng did after ascending the throne was to execute Longkodo and Li Si'er.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. After Yinreng ascended the throne, he naturally had to use his own confidants.

Nian Gengyao was transferred back to the capital and became the governor of the Nine Gates.

And because Yinreng now has a good relationship with his brothers, he replaced all those important positions and lucrative positions with his brothers.

Of course, Yinreng did not forget Kangxi. After all, he was his biological father who had loved him since he was a child. Although his father had shown signs of dysfunction in recent years, overall, he was still very good to him.

While Yinreng had people take good care of Kangxi, he never forgot to pay his respects to the retired emperor no matter how busy he was every day, and told his father about some of the important matters he had handled at court.

Also, since Kangxi was only ill and not dead yet, all the concubines had to stay in the palace.

Three years passed like this. When Yinreng had led his brothers to clean up the bureaucracy and completely seize power, Kangxi unexpectedly recovered and was able to walk on his own!

Yinreng and his brothers were only happy to hear the news. After all, the regime was stable at that time, and all the important positions were filled by their own people. Even if Kangxi wanted to do something else, he did not have the conditions to do so.

But Yinreng knew very well that he couldn't let his father have any time to spare at this time.

Knowing that Kangxi had now fully recovered, Yinreng simply sacrificed Fat Ju.

I don’t know if it’s monkey poop or what, but in any case, Nian Shilan is determined to marry Pangju in this life.

At this time, in the Yong Palace, the first wife Rouze has passed away, and the current principal wife is Yixiu...

In other words, if Nian Shilan were to get married, at best she could be a concubine, just like in her previous life.

Nian Gengyao had no ill will towards his sister, and even his wife An Lingrong had a very good relationship with Nian Shilan because they grew up together.

Nian Gengyao and his wife had tried to persuade Nian Shilan countless times, but Nian Shilan just wouldn't listen and insisted on pursuing her true love.

Nian Gengyao asked Pang Ju about his attitude again, and Pang Ju also said that if he could marry Nian Shilan, he would definitely cherish and love her.

Nian Gengyao: ...

It was also because he was too busy with work recently and neglected the family affairs. He really didn't know why Fatty Ju was still trying to provoke Nian Shilan when the situation had already been decided.

Don't even mention those nonsense like they are truly in love and that they met by accident.

Fat Orange has always been a political animal. And Tomato has already reported his encounter with Nian Shilan to himself, which was just a carefully designed heroic rescue of a beautiful woman.

Could it be that Fat Ju thought that now Kangxi could move again, and if Kangxi could return to the throne, he would still have a chance?

And after he married his sister, he expected that he could do whatever he wanted, just like in the original plot?

Nian Gengyao guessed that Pangju was most likely thinking this way.

Kangxi had indeed summoned him quite a few times recently, but this was only out of political instinct. After a former leader could speak and move again, wasn't it normal for him to find his former confidants to learn more about the current state of the country?

In the past few days, Kangxi had summoned more than just himself. Many of them were old ministers and confidants from Kangxi's time who were summoned to talk and chat.

Why are they targeting their own cabbages again?

Or maybe his position as the Nine Gates Admiral attracts too much attention.

But no matter how hard Nian Gengyao and others tried to persuade her, Nian Shilan was determined to marry Pangju.

Nian Gengyao was forced to come up with a decisive move. He told Nian Shilan clearly that if she insisted on marrying Fatty Ju, he would persuade her father and mother to remove her from the Nian family, and after she married into the palace, her family would not give her any help. No matter if she was bullied or had any problems in Yongwang Mansion in the future, the Nian family would not care about her anymore.

Afterwards, Nian Gengyao found many stories related to digging wild vegetables and asked An Lingrong to read them to Nian Shilan all day long, trying to drain the water from her head.

It was not enough to just write letters, Nian Gengyao was determined to let Nian Shilan know how much love-brainedness can harm others and oneself. After having An Lingrong read to her various cases of wife-shaming for a month, he also ordered everyone in the mansion not to care about Nian Shilan. From that day on, she had to go to the backyard garden every day to dig three baskets of wild vegetables, and she also had to wash her own clothes, cook, and clean her own room.

If she can persist like this for half a year without wavering and insists on marrying Fatty Ju, I will accept it.
