Chapter 205 Yinzhen’s Ridiculous Idea
Seeing that Yinzhen no longer looked at her straight in the eye as he did at the beginning, but was looking at her eagerly, Depin felt mixed emotions for a moment. She was not sure whether Yinzhen's current character was the flattery inherited from the Uya family or the pursuit of profit and avoidance of harm learned over the years without her protection. Anyway, the current Yinzhen made her love and fear him.
She loved him because he was her youngest son, whom she had loved and missed for many years. If she hadn't thought about him, she would have gone crazy all these years. But she was also afraid because he was her youngest son. She knew too well how ruthless this character could be. Wasn't she like that herself?
Regardless of the consequences, she dared to do whatever she wanted. If she met a god, she would kill the god; if she met a Buddha, she would kill the Buddha. It can be said that she was able to rise all the way from a palace maid to the Defei because of her ruthlessness and grasp of the opportunity.
But now she doesn't have that much time to think about these things, or maybe she also knows that once this kind of character is formed, there is no possibility of changing it, or maybe she doesn't think about changing it.
The Forbidden City is a place where animals are trapped. There is only fighting and cruelty, otherwise you can only wait quietly for death.
Depin: "Son, don't worry, we have plenty of time. The most important thing for you is to get married. Since your father-in-law has chosen the Wanyan family, it means that the emperor treats you well.
The Wanyan family is also well-known. It is an old Manchu family. Although it does not have the glory of the Tong family or the Niuhulu family, its background is actually not inferior at all. "
Yinzhen expressed his doubt: "Really? But there are almost no important officials in the court who are related to the Wanyan family. It is rare to hear the surname Wanyan."
Depin: "Silly child, you are still young and don't know some of the old things. Mother only learned a little when your Guo Luomafa was still alive. Your wife's branch belongs to the Wanyan clan of the Donggui lineage. Tracing back to the source, they are originally descendants of Jin Shizong. The family tree lists Hangai, who fought the tiger, as the recent ancestor (probably in the Ming Dynasty).
Hangai's fifth-generation grandson, Borjin, returned to the country at the beginning of the dynasty and became one of the ten great Zarguqi. He was granted the title of first-rank male and married Murhaqi's eighth daughter. Borjin's first son, Bentohui, served as a capital official. His son, Luoduoli, served as a lieutenant commander.
Luo Duoli's second son, Luo Sihan, inherited his uncle's second-class light cavalry captain position and also served as the commander of the guard. This is the grandfather of your wife.
Even though they may not seem to be well-known, their prestige in the army cannot be underestimated, especially your father-in-law Luo Cha. On the surface, he is the most powerful figure in their tribe. He is both a cavalry captain and a minister of rank. But in fact, he is just a figure who is put in front of people. Behind him, many of his clansmen are scattered in the army, and they all hold real power.
I remember you wanted to be the Great General King before, do you still want to go now? If this idea hasn't changed, then you must carefully win over the power of your future wife. "
Depin's explanation was in details, and Yinzhen of course heard it clearly. At the same time, he also reconstructed his understanding of his own mother. Even after being confined for several years, his mother was still able to quickly analyze the current situation for him, and even knew a lot of information that he could not find out. She was worthy of being the emperor's most beloved concubine, and also worthy of being Yinzhen's mother. At this moment, he was more confident about his future.
The mother and son talked for about another hour, and after having lunch together, Yinzhen promised to bring some high-end supplements and powder to Depin before reluctantly leaving Yonghe Palace.
He has grown up and is about to get married. He has stayed in the harem for a long time. Even if the emperor allows mother and son to reunite today because Depin was released, he cannot break the rules.
Several princes are getting married together, and the Imperial Household Department has been very busy recently. Yinzhen has been staying in the Imperial Household Department every day and basically doesn't come back until the appointed time.
Not only does he have to prepare the betrothal gifts and wedding banquet, but he also has to prepare new residences for his three younger brothers. It can be said that he is the busiest among his brothers now.
At this time, Yinzhen came to visit. When Yinzhen first heard Su Peisheng mention his visit, he subconsciously looked at the sky outside. When he saw that the sun was setting normally from the west, he took a deep breath and then asked Su Peisheng to invite him to the study.
There is no such thing as a visit without a request. This is referring to the Fourteenth Prince, his fellow brother. When Concubine De was under house arrest at the beginning, he still thought about the blood relationship and wanted to help him. But who knew that this guy was an ungrateful person, who would be grateful for a little and resent a big one. He would break down directly if he was not satisfied. He would disregard the brotherhood and treat Concubine De as his mother. He would do whatever it takes to hurt her.
From then on, he knew the other person clearly and would be more reserved when interacting with him. It can be said that he would never let the other person take advantage of him unless it was absolutely necessary.
He knew that Depin had been released from confinement today, but what good was that? He and Depin no longer had any relationship. If she wanted to get involved, she would have to see if Prince Yong was willing. He was no longer the sensitive and thoughtful little prince who longed for his mother's love.
Yinzhen came over very quickly, and then performed a face-changing show in front of Su Peisheng. He rushed in with a boastful attitude one second, and then pushed open the study door with a smile on his face the next second. Not only that, he also shouted to the inside in a very intimate tone: "Fourth brother, I'm here. Look what I brought you?"
Yinzhen also got goosebumps from this intimate address. He hadn't heard such an intimate voice since he was eight years old. If he wanted to hear it now, he would probably only hear it once or twice in front of the Emperor.
This also made Yinzhen even more certain that the visitor had ill intentions. Given Yinzhi's personality, no one would believe him if he said he had no ill intentions.
Yinzhen was a man of straightforward and decisive character. He reached out to stop Yinzhi from saying anything more intimate and cheesy, and asked directly, "Just tell me what you're here for today. As long as it's within my power and doesn't violate morality or the Emperor's will, I'll do my best to help you."
Seeing this, Yinzhen stopped pretending and placed the brown paper-wrapped snacks on the table. He then spoke directly, "Okay, this is the Fourth Brother I know in my heart. I might as well let Fourth Brother know. Seeing that I'm getting married soon and my mother has come out, I thought that the Imperial Household Department would pay more attention to my residence. I can't say it can be as good as Ninth Brother's, but it can't be worse than Ninth Brother's. No matter what, I am Fourth Brother's biological brother, and this blood relationship can never be erased."
Yinzhen was almost amused by Yinzhi's lion-like mouth. Like the Ninth Brother's mansion? Why didn't he just go and rob it?
Yinzhen: "Do you know how much silver it cost to build and decorate my ninth brother's mansion? Are you asking for so much? Moreover, my ninth brother's mansion was built according to the emperor's wishes according to the title of Beile. Many of the wood and stone and high-end decorations were all paid for by Yinzhen himself. Just what I know is that it cost 300,000 taels.
You want such a rule? What can you offer in exchange? The Ministry of Internal Affairs only gives each prince two hundred thousand taels of silver for settling down. After deducting your daily expenses, you will need to pay at least another fifteen hundred thousand taels of silver if you want the configuration of Yin'er's mansion. Besides, you are still just a bald prince. Even if you build a new mansion, it will only be built according to the title of Beizi. It will never be as good as the mansion of the ninth prince.
Yinzhen didn't expect that this would require so much money, and it also involved the issue of titles. He had not made any contribution over the years, and all he had was the favor of the emperor. As for titles, it depended on whether the emperor could reward him with the title of Beizi when he got married. He couldn't even think about the title of Beile for the time being.
However, regarding the silver: "Fourth brother, you're really good at fooling me. A mere 150,000 taels of silver is easily obtainable for a Prince Yong who has controlled the Imperial Household Department for many years. Apart from anything else, if you just let a little slip through your fingers, wouldn't my mansion be yours?"
Yinzhen: "You are such a whimsical person! I will never agree to this!"
Yinzhen's face darkened. "Fourth brother, are you saying this is impossible? There's no room for negotiation?"
Yinzhen: "If you still want to talk about this, then I tell you clearly that you can't."
Yinzhen: "Okay, you have guts. I'll remember it. I hope you won't regret it in the future!" After saying that, Yinzhen slammed the door and left, and soon left the Prince Yong's Mansion.
