Looking at the Qing Dynasty, princes and princes are indeed noble, but the words "inexpressibly noble" are not something that everyone can mention.
The reason why Defei was able to climb from a palace maid to the position of one of the four concubines, besides her beautiful appearance and pregnant belly, was because of her cautiousness.
Besides, Yinzuo was her treasure, and she was busy protecting him, so how could she say anything clever and priceless to her attendants
Liu was Yinzuo’s wet nurse, but not Defei’s confidant!
The Imperial Noble Consort knew in her heart that even if Concubine De had great ambitions, she would only keep them to herself, and would not tell anyone even if they were rotten to the core.
However, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.
"I can blame you all, but the Emperor gave the Sixth Prince such an eye-catching name." When the Imperial Noble Consort mentioned Kangxi, she came back to her senses and became extremely sober, with the deep admiration in her eyes gone.
After saying that, she smiled softly and murmured, "It's okay to blame him, he has Wuya as his mother."
It is said that attacking a child will bring punishment from God, but Tong Jia is not afraid!
When Defei and Soetu were doing it, did they have any sympathy for her who was about to give birth
She couldn't let the little princess go alone, so she had to drag someone along to be buried with her...
"My dear child, mother asked Sixth Brother to accompany you, how about that?" The Imperial Concubine was not aware of the hidden pain in her lower body. She stroked her belly lightly and said softly, "There are also the Hesheli family and the Yuqing Palace... No one can escape."
Why did Suo Etu try so hard to plot against her? To help the prince clear the obstacles!
He wanted to eliminate all threats to the crown prince's position so that the crown prince could ascend the throne smoothly and become the second Dorgon, the second Oboi, and thus control the government and dominate the world.
If you hunt geese all day long, you will always get your eyes pecked by geese. Soetu is just a clown and he will always get into trouble.
"Tell me, if something happened to the Sixth Prince, what would the Emperor think? What would the Empress Dowager think?" The Imperial Concubine's smile deepened.
All the dirty water was thrown on him, and by then, even if the prince knew nothing about it, it would be of no use.
*****
When the Sixth Prince was one month old, the Emperor bestowed the name "Zuo" on him and showed his affection for him in every way, which really made the court and the harem restless and caused waves.
Soetu was shocked by the name of the Sixth Prince, and for a moment he had some inappropriate thoughts, but they soon disappeared from his mind like rain after rain.
How can Concubine De be compared with the Hesheli family when she was born into a banner family? Unless the emperor is crazy!
… Even if the emperor loses his mind, the civil and military officials in the court will not be convinced.
He was worrying too much.
However, the Sixth Prince, a bastard, was superior to the Crown Prince. Soetu pondered over it for a long time and was still unwilling to believe that this was the Emperor's original intention.
That doesn't make sense.
Isn't this like putting the Sixth Prince on the fire
He thought for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he thought of a person—
The late emperor’s most beloved prince, the fourth prince born to Empress Xiaoxian Dong E, was named Prince Rong when he was less than one year old and his name also contained the character “Zuo”.
Prince Rong back then could truly be said to be the one who was loved by everyone!
The late emperor delightedly called him "my first son" and waited to make him the crown prince when he turned one year old. Even the Empress Dowager, who hated Dong E, now the Grand Empress Dowager, had no problem with Prince Rong and looked at him with love.
Come to think of it, he is just a baby and her grandson. The Empress Dowager will not vent her anger on him.
However, Prince Rong was unlucky and died before he was one year old. According to his father (Sony), a severe cold came and soon took the little prince's life.
As a result, Empress Xiaoxian fell ill and passed away. The late emperor became completely desperate and no longer wanted the throne.
What happened later became a scar in the heart of the Empress Dowager, and the court officials were also very secretive about it and dared not mention it.
Soetu just stopped reminiscing and pondered, his eyes shining.
Prince Rong's lineage did not have an heir, and the late emperor had the idea of selecting an heir, but he died before he could issue an order. Therefore, Soetu guessed that the late emperor must have left a will, ordering the new emperor to adopt a member of the Aisin-Gioro clan to inherit the incense for his beloved child.
The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and there has been no movement for many years, but now, the Sixth Prince corresponds to the "Zuo" character of Prince Rong...
The meaning was self-evident. Soetu immediately felt relieved and no longer had any hostility towards Yinzuo.
But, guesses are just guesses after all.
Four years passed, and the Emperor successfully pacified the Three Feudatories and recovered the Zheng family's stronghold. Concubine Yi gave birth to the Ninth Prince, and Concubine De was about to give birth, but the Emperor never revealed his intention to adopt the Sixth Prince.
—I don’t think there will be any more in the future.
At that time, rumors were spreading privately that the Ninth Prince’s third-day baptism ceremony was no match for the Sixth Prince, and the name bestowed by His Majesty was even worse!
How could Suo Etu still sit still
As a result, God sent him a good opportunity and helped him. After questioning Liu, Suo Etu became more and more certain that the Sixth Prince Yinzuo would be the biggest enemy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Defei's ambition was a thorn in his side, and he was not going to let it go.
What a joke. How could a son of a bondservant be worthy of the words "invaluable beyond words"
After several dynasties, the endless glory will only belong to the Hesheli clan.
…
He straightened his sleeves, calmed himself, and looked up. In front of him were a few large golden characters: Yuqing Palace.
As the great-uncle of the crown prince and the "Prince Soetu" who was in charge of the court, Soetu was very busy on weekdays. Naturally, he had no time to be a teacher in the study and teach the crown prince to read.
For the sake of his family, he reported to Emperor Kangxi and was given a nominal position as a lecturer in the Yuqing Palace. Every ten days, he would meet with the prince, talk about family affection, or sort out court affairs and tell the prince his personal opinions...
Soetu was very satisfied with such convenience.
Your Highness is only ten years old and has not yet developed a team belonging to the East Palace. As an elder, I should do my best to guide and help him. When Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, who can surpass me in terms of merit and friendship
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Soetu stroked his long beard with a smile and strode towards the palace gate.
…
"You don't need to tell my uncle that I often go to Yikun Palace." In the study, the prince fiddled with the cat-shaped brush washer on the desk, glanced at the palace servants around him, and suddenly said, "Whoever dares to break the rules, I will not forgive him!"
In addition to the personal eunuch He Zhuer, there were also little eunuchs serving tea and water in the study. The rest were said to be the prince's confidants, but in fact they were not.
To be more precise, they were Hesheli's confidants and Soetu's confidants.
Kangxi loved the prince, so naturally he gave him the right to select servants. After Liang Jiugong checked their backgrounds and proved them innocent, he no longer exercised excessive control over them.
The prince lost his mother when he was young and had a great affection for the Hesheli family. Because of Soetu's care and concern, the prince, who was ignorant, became very close to this great-uncle.
As the prince grew up, he had a vague awareness of being a king. He knew that his great-uncle did it for his own good, so he kept the palace maids that Soetu trusted by his side and did not avoid them at all.
In the past, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
But since his trip to Yikun Palace, the heavy fog was dispelled by Yun Xiu's few words, and the little prince felt relieved. In an instant, he seemed to have grown up a lot.
Then, he clearly realized that he must not reveal a single word of his conversation with Yi'er Niang, not even to his great uncle!
The prince glanced at the palace maids, suppressed the sudden awkwardness in his heart, and the inexplicable displeasure that appeared, knocked on the table, and asked calmly: "Do you understand?"
At this moment, his expression was very similar to that of Kangxi, except that he had completely lost his childishness and instead looked decisive and unquestionable.
He Zhuer bent down and answered respectfully. The other servants felt a chill in their hearts and could not stop sweating on their backs.
Your Highness is still young!
Such momentum and majesty made it impossible for people to even think of resisting.
But in an instant, they all fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Your servants will obey the orders of the prince!"
*****
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"You said, if we continue investigating, the clues will be cut off?" Kangxi threw away the pen, glanced at Liang Jiugong, and said in a light tone, "Useless thing."
Liang Jiugong shuddered and reflexively knelt on the ground, crying with a gloomy face but no tears.
The five strokes of the cane I received last time still hurt me! Please don't punish me again.
Perhaps he had heard the chief steward's thoughts, Kangxi rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice: "What's the situation? Tell me now."
"Yes. Your Majesty, I am useless. I only found out the arrangements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." Liang Jiugong paused, lowered his head and whispered, "I think I didn't misunderstand Lady Ping. It's just that there is no trace of the drowning in Yonghe Palace! Those servants, who were tortured by the Ministry of Punishment, said everything. Some of them told the truth, some made up stories, and even accused Lady Yi of being a concubine..."
Hearing this, Kangxi's anger rose in his heart, and he quickly turned the jade ring, "Go on."
“… There is no connection with Yonghe Palace.” After saying this, Liang Jiugong held his breath and secretly groaned in his heart.
It's hard to convict Concubine De if there's no evidence, right
Liang Jiugong had a completely new understanding of Concubine De. If she was completely innocent, then nothing would happen to her; if she had done something, then she was scheming and vicious, hiding something very deep.
It is really amazing that he can do it without leaving any trace.
Liang Jiugong was thinking deeply when he heard Kangxi sneer and whisper "Hesheli". He then ordered: "Since the clue is broken, there is no need to continue. Gather people and thoroughly investigate the inner palace, including the embroidery workshop, the kitchen, the workshop... leave no one behind, and investigate carefully for me!"
Liang Jiugong was shocked. The embroidery workshop and the production office were fine, but the kitchen
The foundation of the Wuya family is in the kitchen, this...
"Don't alert the enemy," Kangxi picked up the pen again and warned carefully, whispering, "I said I would give your master an explanation. Investigate all those dirty and filthy things! Go."
*****
Newborn babies change every day.
By the time Yinzhen's wrinkled red skin shed and became fair and tender, autumn had already arrived in the capital and the midsummer heat was no longer there.
On September 20th, when Yunxiu was about to leave her confinement, Concubine De started the operation in Yonghe Palace.
At that time, Defei was having a meal with Yinzuo, and children's words were interspersed in the meal. The mother and son were very intimate and harmonious.
In an instant, Concubine De's expression suddenly changed. She put her hands on her belly, beads of sweat gathered on her forehead, and she shouted, "Come here! Ask the imperial physician and the midwife to come... Send someone to the Qianqing Palace to tell the emperor!"
When had Yinzuo ever seen Concubine De look so frightened
This was the first time he had to face the birth of a younger brother or sister, and he felt a lot of tension and worry in his heart.
How miserable would my mother feel
The child, who was about four or five years old, kept calling for his mother, running around in anxiety, with bright tears in his eyes.
Defei only felt continuous and unbearable pain, which then intensified instead of waves of pain. Her heart immediately sank to the bottom.
She had given birth to three children, so she was familiar with all the reactions to childbirth. This kind of pain, it looked like she was going to have a difficult birth...
But what she was most concerned about was still Yinzuo. She gritted her teeth and used the remaining strength to comfort her son softly, "Don't be afraid, Yinzuo... Mother will go to the delivery room first, and will give birth to a brother for you soon... Go out and play for a while, to the small garden, okay?"
Then he pinched her wrist tightly and said sternly: "Take the Sixth Prince out now!"
At this moment, Concubine De could not be described as gentle as water. When she spoke through gritted teeth, her almond-shaped eyes contained a hint of cruelty as she glanced coldly at the people serving around her.
The palace maids nodded in agreement and hurriedly coaxed and half-pushed the sobbing Yinzuo out, "Sixth Prince, please relax. I will take you to visit the small garden, okay?"
"Go away!" Yinzuo cried intermittently, "I want my mother, I want my mother..."
Although he cried, he finally listened to Concubine De's words. He wiped his face, left all the palace servants behind, and rushed to the backyard of Yonghe Palace: "Don't follow me!"
The small garden was right in the backyard. The servant breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not disobey the prince's intention.
On the other side, Yinzuo was running around in the garden, his eyes red from crying.
He looked around with tearful eyes, and suddenly found a piece of clothing at the small door leading to the palace. The ochre printed fabric looked very familiar...
Curiosity gradually replaced panic, and Yinzuo took a few steps forward lightly, his whole mind absorbed.
From the other side of the small door, a gentle and pleasantly surprised voice called out: "Sixth Prince? Sixth Prince..."
Yinzuo opened his mouth slightly, and then showed obvious joy.
As if he had found someone he could rely on, he pouted his lips and ran over, shouting happily as he ran: "Madame Liu!"
