"Oh? What would make me happy?"
A sudden and deep voice sounded, startling the prince so much that he almost jumped up.
Then, a bright yellow figure came into view. Wasn't this the Emperor Father he mentioned casually
Prince: “…”
Wishes never come true so quickly.
Kangxi had a complicated expression and his heart was also full of complicated thoughts. He originally thought that the one crying was Baocheng, but he didn't expect that there was also Xiaowu inside.
Seeing the scene of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other with his own eyes, he felt relieved at first, and a trace of pride spread from the bottom of his heart. He secretly thought that the prince was strong after all and was not disturbed by external things. He really had the demeanor of a crown prince.
Yinqi is also worthy of praise. He is studious and kind-hearted at a young age. The Empress Dowager taught him well, and Xiuxiu also taught him well!
But, if you listen carefully to what the prince said, why do they sound so much like nonsense
Yinqi held the pen tightly with tears in his eyes. Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up. As if he had found a savior, he called out "Father Emperor" aggrievedly and cried, "Father Emperor, I don't want to learn to write anymore... It's so hard to train my arm strength..."
Kangxi pondered for a while and then came to his senses.
He waved his hand, asking Liang Jiugong and the others to move away, then stepped forward, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which word should fill the entire paper?"
The prince had a bad feeling that he was going to fail. The next moment, Yinqi picked up a piece of red tracing paper like he was presenting a treasure. The fat boy pointed at the magnificent "big" character that was so big that his parents couldn't recognize it, and pouted, "My second brother said that writing should not only be beautiful, but also vivid and imposing. A 'big' character that doesn't cover the entire paper is not a 'big' character!"
Then he pointed to the "small" character that was shrunk in the lower right corner like an ant, "This way the contrast is sharper! It can also exercise your arm strength. But writing is so difficult..."
The prince quietly moved his steps, gritting his teeth in anger, thinking of this annoying brother who was a traitor to his brother.
The wailing sound reappeared. Thinking of the miserable life in the future, Yinqi's nose was red from sobbing. "The difference between big and small is so terrible. In the future, there will be thick and thin, long and short. What should I do?"
Kangxi knew what was going on immediately.
The corner of his mouth twitched and he glanced at the prince who turned his head away and pretended nothing had happened.
Who practices calligraphy like this? How come he doesn't know
Well, the prince was young and playful, so the emperor had no objection and was even relieved - if he was gloomy and had red eyes, he would be worried.
There should be a limit to how much you can play with your younger brother. Xiaowu is naughty, and a lesson is enough. Look how scared this child is!
Although this punishment of practicing calligraphy cannot be considered a punishment, a child under six years old has been indoctrinated with a lot of wrong ideas, and it must be tiring for him to raise his hand to write on a whole sheet of paper.
Kangxi felt distressed immediately.
Facing his most beloved son, he could not bring himself to scold him, so he could only call him "an awful son" inwardly, then took Yinqi's hand and coaxed him for a long time.
"How many copies did your second brother ask you to write?"
"Six."
"… Today?"
"Two, two."
Kangxi was silent.
The well-behaved fifth son wiped his tears and asked him hopefully, "Father, can I skip school like my second brother? After the New Year, I don't want to study anymore."
Hearing this, the prince immediately lowered his head, shook his shoulders, and suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out.
Kangxi: “…”
The words "truant from school" and "don't want to study" hit the emperor's chest accurately. He took a deep breath and reminded himself that Xiaowu was born by Xiuxiu, and Xiaowu had just cried. He was not as tough as the eldest child, and he could not be beaten or scolded.
Kangxi was almost so angry that he laughed. He gathered his strength for a long time and said with a serious face, "You are honest."
Which of his brothers didn't study hard and learn martial arts desperately, fearing that they would fall behind? Only Yinqi, really, really...
Just six big characters!
Yinqi stopped crying. He accepted the compliment without any shyness and said "hmm" in a low voice, his face flushed. "Thank you for the compliment, Father Royal. Mother said the same thing."
Kangxi rubbed his temples, his face stiff, and suppressed the urge to beat his son. He said very slowly: "You can't skip school, and you can't not study. I won't allow it!"
Throughout the palace, there is not a single one of my sons who is not troubled! !
*****
Whether it was the truth of Yinzuo's poisoning or the shocking news that the prince was framed, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ordered that it be kept secret and not a single word of it was leaked out.
Just when everyone was speculating about Concubine Wu's going to the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager suddenly issued several imperial decrees, shocking the entire Forbidden City.
Concubine Wu Uya suffered from insanity and could not be cured after long-term treatment. She was moved from Yonghe Palace to the west courtyard of Jingqi Pavilion for recuperation. The fifth princess Moyaqi changed the jade genealogy to be recorded under the name of Concubine Duan, and moved to the main hall of Jingyang Palace from that day on.
Jingqi Pavilion is located at the northernmost end of Ningshou Palace. It has always been sparsely visited and has old furnishings, no different from a cold palace. A single stone stirs up a thousand waves. It's madness and the loss of a child. Was Concubine Wu banished to the cold palace and will she never be able to turn over a new leaf? !
What on earth had she done to end up like this
Everyone sighed and wanted to know what happened yesterday morning, but apart from the Imperial Concubine who planned everything and Yun Xiu who had "special channels", no one knew what happened.
Seeing that the Yanx Palace was not implicated, Concubine Hui felt relieved and then her face darkened.
Wu Ya's move was completely wasted. She worked so hard to hold a full-moon ceremony for Mo Yaqi, but ended up making wedding dresses for someone else.
Although she hated it, it didn't matter anymore. Yinzhi was once again punished by the emperor to kneel, and Huifei was so exhausted from dealing with it for her son that she had no time to spare for anything else.
When Concubine Rong heard this, her eyes flashed and she then waved the palace maid away.
She had many guesses in her mind, but she couldn't be sure whether this matter was related to the poisoning of Prince Rong.
Thinking of the scene that the head maid saw a few months ago, Rong Fei pinched herself, walked around in the Zhongcui Palace, and slowly exhaled. Now is not the right time, there is a long way to go...
In Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Concubine had anticipated the Grand Empress Dowager's decree. But she didn't hear the decree she was looking forward to the most. She smiled faintly and then coughed: "My body is so dilapidated, but the old ancestor and the emperor are still on guard."
Moyaqi changed the jade book, but Yinzhen did not, but the imperial concubine was not in a hurry.
According to the news from Zhen Mama's son-in-law, the clan members have persuaded Father and Mother, and they are planning... to send the second sister to the palace.
As a royal concubine, she was of no use to the family, so she would naturally be ruthlessly abandoned. Tong Jia needed a prince who was related by blood. She couldn't give birth, but her second sister could!
Will they be able to achieve their wish
Just delusion.
The imperial concubine sneered. The tribesmen were confused, but Ama was not. Despite this, he still wanted to take a gamble.
They haven't yet realized the emperor's heartless nature. They think that if the second sister looks like that, she will be able to gain favor and give birth to a prince when she grows up
What a joke!
The Imperial Concubine was unwilling to stop it, nor would she. Since her family had abandoned her, why couldn't she use them to her advantage
It will be soon... The Fourth Prince can only be her child.
******
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Concubine Duan was almost knocked unconscious by the pie that fell from the sky!
It is true that the palace is lonely. The concubines and ladies all hope to give birth to a dragon descendant, so that they can have a son and a daughter. It is said that the first half of life depends on favor, and the second half depends on offspring. Who would want to end up alone
A mother becomes famous because of her son, who wouldn’t be jealous
Among the concubines, in addition to Chengpin, there was also Wupin who moved to Jingqi Pavilion. Only Duanpin gave birth to a princess in her early years, but unfortunately she was weak and died young, before she lived to be one year old.
As she got older and less favored, Concubine Duan had thought about adopting a child. From the oldest to the youngest, only the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were suitable, but the Seventh Prince, whose mother was only a concubine, suffered from a foot disease, and the Emperor had no intention of giving him to someone else to raise.
The most suitable Eighth Prince was given to Concubine Hui. As for the Ninth and Tenth Princes, how qualified was she
Among the princesses, the second princess was born to Concubine Rong, and the third princess was born to Concubine Bu. Because Concubine Bu was short-sighted and pleaded with the emperor, the third princess had no adoptive mother and lived in Nansansuo since she was a child.
The fourth princess was born to Concubine Le and was raised by Concubine Yi... As for the fifth princess, Concubine Wu was qualified to raise her, so it would be of no use for her to be jealous.
Over the years, Concubine Duan gave up the idea of raising children and became devoted to Buddhism, praying every day for her daughter who died young.
Not long ago, Concubine Xi instigated her to go to the Cining Palace together to file a complaint against Concubine Yi for being the only favorite concubine. Concubine Duan hesitated again and again and finally refused.
If she were younger, she would be very excited. But now she has no children and no favor, so what can she do even if she loses the favor of Concubine Yi
No matter what, the emperor would not come to her Jingyang Palace.
Seeing the four concubines who had filed the complaint suffering disaster one by one, Concubine Duan breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely fortunate.
It was a turbulent time, and not long after, Concubine Hui also suffered a major setback. Concubine Duan became even more determined not to get involved and just mind her own business.
Unexpectedly, without any warning, she suddenly had her own child!
Not the fifth princess's adoptive mother, but her biological mother. The imperial edict had been changed, and all traces of Wu Ya's family had been erased. From then on, she could hear Mo Yaqi's sweet and loving voice calling her "mother".
Concubine Duan took the swaddling clothes and cried with joy, her makeup smudged all over her face.
She spoke incoherently, "The little princess is weak, you all should be very careful... Clean up my residence and use it as the princess's boudoir... Move the boxes and cages in the inner room to the side hall!"
The palace maids responded quickly, all with smiles on their faces.
Jingyang Palace had not been so lively for a long time, with people coming and going, and a joyful scene. Not long after, led by Concubine An, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Ping came together, presenting a basket of envious words and gifts for celebration.
Among them, Pingpin was relatively calm, only because she was still young and believed that she would have children; the other three concubines could not calm down for a long time, and they seemed to be smiling and talking on the surface, but in fact they glared at Duanpin countless times, feeling jealous, regretful, and unwilling.
Even if she was just a princess, they had longed for her for a long time. Moreover, Duanpin was recorded in the Jade Book, and Moyaqi's biological mother could not be changed!
How could Dong be so worthy of the title, just because she didn't get involved in the complaint? !
*****
Yikun Palace.
The imperial concubine took a sip of hot tea and smiled at Yunxiu, "...Of course, it's because she knows how to protect herself and didn't get involved in the complaint."
The Tenth Prince's full-month ceremony was just held five days ago. The Imperial Concubine appeared in front of everyone again after a long time. She was energetic and radiant, and she was plumper than when she entered the palace. She had recovered to great health.
With the Imperial Concubine no longer honored, Concubine Hui also fell into silence, and Concubine Niu Hulu was truly in power. Perhaps realizing this, Concubine Rong no longer had the attitude of not giving in when competing with Concubine Hui for power, and was very knowledgeable and tactful, doing her duty as an assistant.
Yunxiu was happy that she could be lazy, and recently she became less and less willing to go out. The imperial concubine had no choice but to bring a few account books to "cure her laziness" in person.
The two laughed and joked for a while, then the topic went off topic. Speaking of Concubine Duan, Yun Xiu became serious and said in a gentle voice: "I underestimated the emperor's dislike for the Uya family..." He actually changed the fifth princess's jade book and took back the Yonghe Palace.
Now she was getting further and further away from her dream. Concubine De was no longer the Queen Mother, and her original goal had been partially achieved. At the same time, she sighed softly. What was the fun of fighting in the deep palace
The disappointment came and went quickly. Yun Xiu smiled slightly. If someone wanted to fight, she would naturally join in.
The Imperial Concubine disliked Concubine Wu, and she felt a little regretful when she heard this: "This was originally a perfect move to contain Concubine Hui, but now it is useless."
"You have a plan for everything. If I were to ask you, wouldn't it be better if she didn't make trouble?" Yun Xiu smiled and covered her lips. Just as she was about to ask about the daily life of the Tenth Prince, the maidservant beside the Imperial Concubine hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in. She bowed and whispered, "Master, Lady Yi, something big happened in the court..."
The imperial concubine's expression changed slightly: "Speak."
Yunxiu put down the teacup and asked, "Did something happen to Suo Etu?"
"You are talking about Lord Suo." The maid took a breath and said, "The emperor summoned the ministers of the Council of State to discuss the matter. He dismissed Lord Suo for 'improper behavior and self-indulgence', demoted him from the rank of first-class duke to first-class earl, fined him for five years, and also removed Hesheli Xinyu, Fabao and others from their official positions..."
Xinyu and Fabao were both Soetu's brothers, and both were punished by Kangxi for being "lazy".
Hearing this, the imperial concubine's face became extremely solemn. She pondered for a while, closed her eyes, and said, "The sky is going to change."
In the future, won’t Mingzhu have all the power in the government and be able to cover the whole world with one hand
Concubine Hui has just been suppressed, and the Yanx Palace is starting to become troublesome again.
Yun Xiu shook her head gently, smiled, and comforted her, "It won't change. Everything requires a balance, just wait and see. As for Concubine Hui... just push her down the same way she got up!"
The author has something to say: The class of Concubine Yi’s Cheer Up is now open!
