As the saying goes, "brothers fight, father and son fight". The fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen are brothers from the same father and mother. It stands to reason that they both work in the court. In the late years of Kangxi, In a situation where the princes are competing against each other for the title of heir, they should support each other and take care of each other.
But in fact, the relationship between the two brothers is not good. tower. The problem lies with their mother Wu Ya. The noble background of the women in the emperor's harem will directly affect the relationship between them and their children. Wu Ya is a typical example.
Wu Ya's family background was not noble. His father was just an ordinary Manchu officer, and his grandfather was once a servant in charge of the kitchen. When Wu Ya entered the palace, she was just a concubine with no status at all. Even though she had the title "concubine", her status was not even as good as promised to stay forever. But although Wu Yashi had a bad deck of cards, she was still lucky and ended up playing a good game.
She was still quite repressed at the beginning. Although she was favored by Kangxi, she gave birth to Yinzhen in the 17th year of Kangxi and was promoted to a concubine. However, due to her lower status, she was not qualified to raise a prince. Si'a Ge Yinzhen has been fostered in the palace of Queen Tong Jia, Queen Xiao Yiren since he was a child.
In the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, the De's concubine Wu Ya gave birth to the emperor's sixth son Yinzuo (who died early in the morning). In the second year, she was promoted to De's concubine. Wu Ya was also very favored and gave birth to Kangxi's children one after another. Next three daughters. In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, Wu Ya gave birth to a child again, giving birth to the emperor's fourteenth son Yinqi.
At this time, Wu Ya was already the concubine of virtue and the master of Yonghe Palace. She was qualified to support Yinqi. The eldest son did not enjoy the biological love of his mother. Wuya's maternal nature was fully exerted on Yinqi, and she was extremely obedient and doting on Yinqi.
At this time, Yinzhen has grown up slowly. The harm caused by his mother's favoritism to the boy makes Yinzhen, who seems to understand but not understand, inevitably have opinions about his mother and resentment towards his biological brother. Of course, young Yinzhen still doesn't know that this is a royal rule and necessity, and everyone is actually a victim.
Kangxi also liked Yinzhen very much. After Yinzhen got married at the age of 17, Kangxi still deliberately let Yinzhen and Fujin live in the palace. According to the rules, the prince had to move out of the palace after getting married. The fourth elder brother Yinzhen But he went to live outside the palace as soon as he reached adulthood. Yinzhen is a child who combines father's love and mother's love, but Yinzhen is ordinary and has no special favor.
