No Legitimate Son: From the Start

What would happen if Kangxi had no legitimate son? Yinzhi: You have no idea how terrible those hundred-plus years were. I told you, the foreigners invaded the Forbidden City... We lost territory, paid reparations... The country really fell. The common people cursed Aisin Gioro. I never dared tell you, but later, even the imperial mausoleums weren't spared. Father's, Father's, Father's tombs were all... Yinreng: I... just finally opened my eyes and saw who I was. Yinzhi: Father, though you have many children, the son who saw you simply as his father has disappeared. Even in the afterlife, he probably doesn't want to see you. Yongzheng: If Yinreng hadn't died, or had held on until after I arrived, my situation would have been much better, wouldn't it? At least it wouldn't be as difficult as it is now. Xuanye: He was utterly defeated in his previous life, probably because of you. Kangxi: Rebellious son! Rebellious son! Fighting me with your life, very good, very good... Baocheng, do you think I would admit defeat? Since you've started the game, I'll play along to the end!!!!!! P.S. Many thanks to Junlin for the picture :) For the ice-cold Fourth Prince and his beautiful love from a previous life, see "No Legitimate Son: Jinse." For the truth behind the Crown Prince's death, as faced by two emperors across three reigns, see "No Legitimate Son: Shuli." [Warning!] This story is set in a Kangxi era where the Crown Prince dies young. No romance pairing. Read with caution. Started proofreading on September 13, 2012. This is the illustration for Chapter 7, "Brother's Being Mean to Me." Yinzhi glares at the Crown Prince, who pouts to Kangxi, "Brother's being mean to me." Kangxi smiles as he watches the brothers bicker. Thanks to the "Accumulating Good Karma" reader from Bishui. Such a lovely scene (^o^)/~ Theme:
