After the prince paid his respects, he lifted his dragon robe and stood up, staring at the red bricks in front of him in a daze.
If it weren't for Yi'en's blessing and guidance, perhaps... he wouldn't be where he is today.
He would be unwilling to accept the consequences and would trust his great-uncle's words so much that he would fight with his eldest brother at all costs. He would blame everyone and feel extremely aggrieved because his mother was the only one among his brothers who died young and was unable to take care of him wholeheartedly. He would also squander the emperor's favor and wish that he was the only one in his eyes, thus causing estrangement and suspicion, not knowing that the person sitting on the dragon throne was his father, the emperor who held power over the world.
The prince knew very early on that his identity was different from others.
The concubines in the harem kept away from him out of fear, or wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Imperial Noble Consort Tong was like a possessed person, wanting to give birth to a prince to replace him; when Consort Hui and Consort De looked at him, they smiled, but their eyes were sharp and cold.
The concubines who gave birth to the prince were so obsessed with their sons that they subconsciously classified him as an enemy - it had nothing to do with fighting for the throne, it was just their nature. The prince realized this when he was very young.
What's wrong with human nature? Sometimes, he would toss and turn in the middle of the night, imagining that his mother was still alive. In the end, he would become depressed and wonder if he was born to be a jinx and killed his mother.
The memories of his childhood were almost blurred, but he still remembered the words that Yi'er Niang said on the day of his ninth brother's third birthday.
For a long time, the prince couldn't figure it out, and he still couldn't figure it out later. Everyone was focusing on their own children, so how could they have the energy to care about outsiders? Why did Ke Yi's mother trust him to take care of Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shiyi, and teach him everything she knew, and why did she not become estranged from him even though she was criticized by court officials because of him
With Yi'enniang being favored and the fifth brother being raised by the Queen Mother, why would he wade into this muddy water
Now, the prince finally understood.
This is his good fortune.
Perhaps he had a bad life in his previous life, which paved a smooth path for his current life. He will surely become an impeccable crown prince, and be careful to curb the suspicion of the emperor...
He will never be a loser.
He bowed willingly, and after he stood up, his eyes sparkled, and he turned and walked forward with big strides. The red tiles and blue bricks gradually disappeared from his sight, and his vision suddenly opened up. The warm sun was rising, and the golden dragon embroidery was vivid.
After today, he will be a family man.
Thinking of this, a faint blush appeared on his earlobes. Then he thought again that he should report something to Yi'er Niang about the Hadith... So he whispered a few words to He Zhuer.
He Zhuer made a bitter face and bowed in response.
The prince nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a clear voice: "Return to Yuqing Palace! Wait with me for the wedding."
******
Yikun Palace.
Yunxiu got up late and was lazily lying on the couch embroidering a child's hat and a small coat. Compared with the birthday gift she made many years ago, her embroidery skills had improved a lot, but she was still far from being proficient.
Because of her talent, despite the guidance of the fourth princess Ilha, the imperial concubine could never become a great lady. She was also very self-aware, doing these things was just a whim to kill time, such as now.
Yun Xiu seemed to be concentrating on threading the needle, but after half an hour, she had not even finished half of the floral pattern.
Nanny Dong looked at her, Ruizhu looked at her, and Peihuan and Peiyang also looked at her.
"..." Yun Xiu threw the pattern into the sewing basket as if nothing had happened. "My fingers are stiff and cold today, so I am embroidering quite awkwardly."
Ruizhu smiled and immediately responded, "Yes, it's cold in March, I'll go light the stove right away."
Ruizhu is a daughter of Guo Luoluo. The three officials recommended her to the imperial palace for selection, and then used gold and silver to pave the way for the Imperial Household Department, so that Ruizhu and Wenyuan could serve Yunxiu. When she was old enough to leave the palace, with Yunxiu's help, Wenyuan married a deputy commander under her, and her life was prosperous; Ruizhu was unwilling to marry, so she immediately became an aunt, determined to stay with her master for the rest of her life.
Therefore, to Yunxiu, Ruizhu was not a maid who could be ordered around, so she was indulged more on weekdays, regardless of what jokes she made.
… Now, she just felt that Ruizhu was annoying, so she scolded her with a stern face: "You are so rebellious."
"I acted on my own initiative, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Ruizhu admitted her mistake immediately, and then said with a smile, "I have already sent people to guard the Yuqing Palace. When dusk comes and the concubine gets off the sedan chair, they will come to report to Your Majesty."
After saying this, she muttered to herself that the stern look of the Empress actually resembled that of the Emperor.
Yunxiu was unaware of Ruizhu's muttering, and she stopped pretending to be solemn. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she sighed softly: "I have watched the prince grow up with my own eyes. He is a good child. After so many years, even a cold-blooded person would have some concern for him."
But she was not the prince's biological mother, and it was too arrogant to talk about these things. At most, she could feel relieved in her heart for a while, but not more.
After accompanying Yunxiu for so many years, Ruizhu understood the change in her master's mentality the most. From being soft-hearted to helping, it was natural for her to miss him. Thinking of this, Ruizhu whispered, "Tomorrow, the Crown Prince's wife will have to travel between the palaces. Why do you have to think so, Your Majesty? What's more, will the Crown Prince miss your greetings?"
The Crown Princess, like the Crown Prince, requires a formal enthronement ceremony, so when Jingchu married into the royal family, she was first called the Crown Prince's Wife, and only after the enthronement could she become the Crown Princess.
After hearing this, Yun Xiu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
The imperial concubine couldn't help but touch her belly, thinking that this pregnancy was more troublesome than her brothers. It was okay to have a bigger appetite, but being sentimental was really unacceptable.
Etc. If a little princess, who is weak and sad all day long, is paired with two or three Ilha figures...
I can't think about it anymore.
After a moment of silence, she said energetically, "Bring me the embroidery pattern."
Nanny Dong quickly responded with a smile. At this moment, someone came from outside to report that someone had quietly come to Yuqing Palace. It was none other than Fu Shun, whom Yunxiu had met before. He was a clever errand boy many years ago, but now he had become a tall and smart eunuch of a higher rank.
"Someone is coming at this hour?" Yun Xiu was a little surprised. He had many guesses in his mind and said loudly, "Let him in."
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty Imperial Concubine Yi. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health." Fu Shun bowed with a smile on his face. "The Crown Prince asked me to say hello to Her Majesty and to bring her a message..."
As he spoke he took a step forward, pondered for a while, and finally whispered a few words into the ear.
Without the Crown Prince's order, he dared not reveal even a little bit of the fact that His Majesty had used the Jade Face Cream, otherwise his life would be in danger!
After hearing his words, Yunxiu was stunned and subconsciously looked towards the dressing table, and then she heard Fushun affirmatively: "It is the one that your Majesty always has on hand... the Jade Cream."
After saying that, he left quickly, leaving Yunxiu stunned for a long time. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling both amused and sad, with mixed emotions in his heart.
What is going on
The remark of "not resting for old age" was just a rant, but it actually caused the emperor to secretly find the imperial physician Min. Let's not talk about this for now, when did the prince become so evil that he had to inform her on the day of the wedding. Thinking about it, the emotion disappeared without a trace, Yinreng was thinking about her.
Ruizhu was relieved to see her queen soon smiling. She couldn't help wondering what Fushun had said to Yunxiu, which made her anxious.
But Yunxiu smiled and decided not to tell the servants, intending to find an opportunity to observe the emperor carefully. But Kangxi "walked into the trap" after noon and went to the front of the emperor.
Come see her.
"Her second brother is about to get married. Did my little princess bother you today?" Kangxi held Yunxiu's hand, and they sat on the couch together.
The emperor would ask this question every day. After Yunxiu bowed, she pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately ignored everything else, raised her pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, and boldly looked at Kangxi's face.
Well, it's 10% white and 10% slippery. She hadn't paid attention to it before, but the emperor quietly went to the Imperial Hospital, and it seemed to be quite effective.
Emperors of all dynasties pursued immortality, while others focused on conditioning. But is the emperor the first person to secretly use beauty products
Kangxi naturally didn't know what Yunxiu was thinking. Seeing her staring at his face, he put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly. He was slightly delighted in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
Including Baocheng, this is the second time. Liang Jiugong really didn't deceive me. Well, I will reward him with more good things later.
…
The emperor was not supposed to come at this hour. In addition, the palace was busy with the prince's wedding. In the evening, Kangxi had to go to Yuqing Palace to watch the ceremony and wait for the newlyweds to pay their respects before returning to the palace.
Yunxiu didn't know why Kangxi came. Before she could ask, Kangxi smiled and said, "I know you are bored. In a few hours, change into your wedding clothes and go with me to Yuqing Palace... The male guests will be entertained by Yinzhi and his family, and the female guests are only Yinzhi's wife, who is still too busy. You are the imperial concubine, and no one can gossip about you. You are here to take charge and to help."
Hearing this, Yun Xiu's fingertips trembled and she moved her lips. Going with the emperor, this was something she had never expected!
The imperial concubine blinked and stammered, which was unusual for her: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows, stopped her from talking, and said, "What I said is the rule."
Seeing that Yun Xiu wanted to say something, he smiled slightly and said, "Noble Concubine Wen is in charge of the harem, so it is her responsibility to count the gifts. Naturally, she has to be present."
"But you are pregnant, so it would be inconvenient for you to work hard. It would be better for you to rest in the bedroom." The emperor changed the subject and said mischievously, "Since Concubine Yi is unwilling to go—"
"When did I say I didn't want to go?"
Yunxiu retorted very quickly and lightly, causing Kangxi to laugh out loud: "Okay, okay, let's all go, let's all go." Then he lowered his voice and said: "With Yi'er Niang here, Baocheng will also be happy."
Her face gradually turned red, and for a moment it was as bright as a rosy cloud, extremely beautiful.
*****
The drums and music were deafening until night fell.
Yin'er puffed out his chest, wearing red from head to toe, with a bright red flower pinned to his waist. He dragged the tenth prince Yin'e around the hall, and happened to hear the eldest prince's mumbling about getting the prince drunk.
The Ninth Prince immediately disagreed.
With a roll of his eyes, he yelled, "Brother, you are so dishonest. I am only seven years old, and you are already thinking of getting me drunk..."
The guests around him looked at him vaguely, and the eldest prince's face turned pale. What a poor child! Please remember:, website mobile version m. computer version., free and fastest update without anti-theft.
