Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Yinzhen was able to be released by Tong Jia this time...

Yinzhen was able to be released by Tong Jia Imperial Concubine this time because the teacher in the Shangshufang left them a homework, asking them to write an essay about their feelings under the moon. At first, Tong Jia Imperial Concubine still let the two young eunuchs follow him as usual, but as soon as they left Chengqian Palace, Yinzhen's face was as cold as frost and he stared at them steadily. The two eunuchs were frightened by the prince's eyes. Everyone in Chengqian Palace knew that although the Fourth Prince was small, he was extremely stable and opinionated. The palace people in his own palace were all in order and methodical. If there were servants who made mistakes, he would deal with them himself without mercy.

So the two looked at each other for a few times and finally couldn't stand it, so they had to honestly retreat to the small road after Yinzhen entered the pavilion.

"If the Imperial Concubine asks, we will say that there is nothing unusual about the Fourth Prince enjoying the moon alone."

The weather was getting hotter, and some frogs were croaking in the pool beside the pavilion, and the branches planted on both sides began to stretch out and scratch people's faces.

Two eunuchs stood guard at the intersection. One of them spat in anger and said, "It's our bad luck to have this job. The old lady has been coming to the palace frequently recently. I heard that you can get this amount of reward for escorting her out of the palace."

The man held out five fingers, and the envy in his eyes could not be stopped.

"The Tonggiya family is a wealthy and powerful family. They don't care about these rewards at all." Another person sighed.

The same person has different fates, and they can't be compared.

"The imperial concubine is watching the fourth prince very closely. Although the fourth prince is small, he is not easy to deal with. It's really hard for us to be caught between two masters."

The two were chatting and suddenly heard footsteps next to them.

"You bold servants, dare to talk about the master in the palace!"

The two were startled and knelt down to beg for mercy. When they looked up, they saw that it was Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping had just gone to Yuqing Palace to meet the prince. Since the construction of Yuqing Palace in the 18th year of Kangxi, the prince moved out of the Yangxin Palace and lived in this real East Palace.

After entering the palace, Concubine Ping went to Yuqing Palace more often than Yangxin Palace. Today, she had just visited the prince and saw that it was still early and the moonlight was good, so she came to the Imperial Garden to take a walk. Unexpectedly, she heard someone talking about Concubine Tong Jia and the Fourth Prince.

Although Concubine Ping was of low rank, she was the prince's aunt and the daughter of the Hesheli family. No one in the harem dared to look down on her, let alone the servants.

"Please spare me, Concubine Ping. I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me, Concubine Ping!"

Concubine Ping held the hand of the maid and looked at the two young eunuchs in the light of the palace lantern. They seemed to be people around the Fourth Prince of Chengqian Palace. She had sent snacks to the prince several times in the Shangshufang and always saw these two waiting at the door.

Concubine Ping glanced at the pavilion in the distance and saw only a few figures.

"But the Fourth Prince is in there?"

"Reply to Concubine Ping, it is the Fourth Prince who is admiring the moon." The eunuch said hurriedly.

Ping Guiren also knew that the master had left homework and the prince was just writing it, so she didn't suspect anything at the moment. She just turned around and said to the two of them: "You two are talking about the master in the palace, and you have forgotten the fate of the two servants before."

The two little eunuchs were immediately scared and fell to the ground with their heads down. On that day, a maid in their Chengqian Palace was dragged to the long street and beaten to death for talking about the Fourth Prince. All the servants in the palace went to watch the execution.

"It's done, you get up first." Ping Guiren's tone softened, "Answer whatever I ask, otherwise you will lose your life."

...

Yinsi lay in the cradle and sighed for the third time while watching his mother sitting in the corridor.

It was very happy when he agreed, but now it's difficult to do it.

Yinsi, who was three months old, always couldn't help wanting to suck his fingers when he reached the oral stage. Yinsi tried to control it a few times and found that he couldn't control his eager mouth, so he simply gave up.

It's normal for babies to suck their fingers, and it's abnormal not to eat.

Yinsi comforted himself with a solemn oath.

The weather has been much better recently. Wenshan occasionally moved Yinsi's rocking bed to the corridor to let him get some fresh air and sun. Of course, she would be especially careful not to let the strong sun shine on him.

Wenshan picked up Yinsi and put her face close to his: "Xiaoba, do you think there is any good way to bring your fourth brother back?"

I think this matter is very difficult to handle.

Tongjia is the emperor's maternal family, and Concubine Tongjia is the emperor's cousin. Tongjia sent her daughter to the palace to give birth to a prince with Tongjia blood to continue the glory of Tongjia. Not to mention whether the emperor can tolerate their idea, just because Concubine Tongjia has just lost a child, he will never easily take the fourth brother away from Tongjia.

Whether it is out of husband and wife affection or court layout, it will be such a decision.

Unless Concubine Tongjia gives up raising the fourth brother herself.

But this is even more unrealistic.

Yinsi sucked his fingers seriously. Wenshan rescued his fingers and put a soft pacifier in his mouth.

Yinsi waved his hands to protest. He didn't want to suck something that would lose his dignity!

But the resistance was useless. Yinsi's sucking of his fingers has been getting worse recently. Although Wenshan knew that this was a normal phenomenon for children to explore the outside world, the frequency was a bit too high. She could only change something for him to bite every once in a while.

Wenshan patted Yinsi's back to comfort him and talked to her little son.

"Your fourth brother has always been the most etiquette and rules. The imperial concubine raised him for three years and said that the grace of raising him was greater than the sky. Logically speaking, with Yinzhen's temperament, he would never say that he wanted to leave Chengqian Palace. Something big must have happened."

When Kangxi asked Yinzhen to move back to Chengqian Palace, although Yinzhen was also depressed and a little uncomfortable, he still obeyed obediently. In addition to the fact that this was an imperial decree that could not be disobeyed, his cultivation did not allow him to forget his adoptive mother who raised him for three years.

Yinsi nodded and thought that his mother really understood his fourth brother. From the look on his face, he knew that there must be some insurmountable rift between him and Concubine Tong Jia.

What could it be? This might be the key to breaking the deadlock, Yinsi pondered. It was a pity that his fourth brother didn't say it, otherwise he should have a way to save him from the dire situation.

The unborn child?

Yinsi thought he was thinking seriously, but he was raised too well. When he frowned, the flesh on his cheeks drooped.

Wenshan was so cute that she couldn't stand it. She hugged him and kissed him several times. Finally, she rubbed his head and said, "Oh, our little eight just needs to eat and sleep now. Mother will take care of the rest."

Yinsi got out of his mother's passionate love with a dizzy head. When he heard this, he immediately made a judgment in his heart. It would be difficult for his mother to fight in the palace.

Since coming here, Wen Shan has been like a salted fish lying flat, staying in the Cining Palace all day long. With the protection of the Empress Dowager

and her being out of favor, no one bothers her. Except for the fact that Niu Hulu deliberately picked a quarrel a few days ago, she had no conflicts with other concubines in the palace. I am afraid she doesn't even understand their temperaments. Sure enough, after listening to his mother and Zhenzhu Amber discussing solutions for a long time, Yinsi rolled his eyes.

Let the grandfather grow up quickly. It seems that the fourth brother can only endure in Chengqian Palace for another year or two. When he can speak, he can be rescued!

Wen Shan thought about it and searched all the people in the palace. Now the only one who can compete with Concubine Tong Jia is Niu Hulu, but Niu Hulu just competed with her and she has no offspring herself, so she is afraid that she will not get involved in these things.

Although the remaining Rongpin and Huipin had children, they were still immature and far from the four great concubines of Kangxi's reign.

After much deliberation, Wen Shan decided to start with Kangxi to explore the situation. For the first time, she personally cooked two exquisite dishes for Kangxi and went to the Yangxin Palace.

Liang Jiugong saw Wen Shan coming from a distance and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled. This was a rare guest!

"Oh, I'm here to pay my respects to Concubine Xuan." Liang Jiugong bowed and smiled, "How did you find time to come here today, Madam?"

Wen Shan glanced at the closed red door and smiled, "I made some food. I wonder if the emperor is free now?" "

You came at the right time. The emperor just finished discussing something with Lord Tong Guowei. Let me go in and report to you."

Wen Shan nodded, and soon Liang Jiugong came out to invite her in.

This was Wen Shan's first time in the Yangxin Palace. Kangxi was reviewing memorials. When he saw her come in, he looked up and said, "Sit down."

Wen Shan sat down on a chair beside him. Kangxi looked up after reading the several memorials in his hand and said, "What did you bring? Bring it up for me to see."

Wen Shan specially prepared two dishes that were delicious and fragrant today. As soon as the food box was opened, the fresh aroma wafted out.

It was almost lunch time at this time, and Kangxi was a little hungry. Wen Shan also specially steamed soft and delicious zongzi rice. Most of the dishes were eaten in a short time.

"Xuan Fei's cooking skills have improved again." Kangxi was satisfied with the food. The food that Xuan Fei brought today was much more delicious than the food in Xianfu Palace. It seemed that she put a lot of effort into it.

Wen Shan thought that it was much more delicious. This was the first time Kangxi ate the food she made by herself. In the past,

he would send him away when the chef made it. After finishing the meal and washing his hands, Kangxi asked kindly, "What do you want from me today?"

Kangxi was coaxed by Wen Shan's dishes. In addition, it was indeed the first time that Wen Shan had such an act of seeking favor. As long as it was not excessive, he was willing to indulge her.

"I think your Majesty is very busy handling state affairs. The weather has been hot recently and I am afraid that your Majesty has lost his appetite, so I came to visit him." Wen Shan pretended to be well-behaved and virtuous.

Kangxi looked at her with a smile.

Kangxi had understood Wen Shan's personality in recent days. She was really indifferent. She was indifferent not only to the concubines in the harem but also to his favor. The only thing that could make her fluctuate was Yinzhen and Yinsi.

It would be nice to have more concubines like this who had no intention of competing for favor and were devoted to raising the princes.

"Are you here to please me for Yinzhen's matter?" Kangxi wore a royal blue casual dress today. It was exquisitely embroidered with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon, which looked very noble.

Kangxi pondered for a while: "After losing her son, the imperial concubine inevitably watched Yinzhen more closely. Please bear with me."

Kangxi seemed to be indifferent to the harem, but he knew everything about the harem. He just didn't want to care about these things most of the time. He was even more aware of the fact that Concubine Tong Jia was holding Yinzhen hostage. It was indeed a bit unreasonable that Yinzhen had left Xianfu Palace for more than a month without paying a visit to Concubine Xuan. It was

inevitable that Concubine Xuan would come looking for him.

Wen Shan knew that Kangxi was still protecting Concubine Tong Jia as soon as she heard what Kangxi said, so she naturally didn't want to stay here any longer. She said a few perfunctorily and left.

Kangxi was almost angry and laughed. This Concubine Xuan was really impetuous and everything was written on her face. She begged him a few more times and acted coquettishly, and he would allow Yinzhen to go to Xianfu Palace to pay a visit.

Kangxi picked up the imperial pen and thought that he had to wait until Concubine Xuan admitted her mistake and tried to please him before he would take care of her.

"Master, what should we do next?" Zhenzhu was worried.

It would be difficult to deal with the emperor's favor towards the imperial concubine. Could he really let the master compete for favor?

Wen Shan had no choice but to say, "Let's go back to the palace first."

No matter what, she would find a way. She promised Yinzhen

that she would never break her promise. Wen Shan, who returned to Xianfu Palace, could not eat or drink. Seeing that Yinsi was a little anxious, she pretended to be cute every day to make Wen Shan happy, but the effect was still minimal, which made Yinsi sigh with worry.

This fourth brother really gave them problems!

Until one day, Concubine Ping suddenly came to Xianfu Palace.

Wen Shan was also surprised when she received the news that Concubine Ping came to visit. She had never had any contact with Concubine Ping, so this was really an uninvited guest.

Ping Guiren was the younger sister of Empress Hesheli. As soon as she entered the palace, she kept hanging around the prince and had no close relationship with any of the concubines. So Wen Shan looked at Ping Guiren who was sitting below and really couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.

After Ping Guiren entered the inner hall, she complimented him politely. When Yinsi saw the palace servants in the hall going down to serve tea, he suddenly said: "Empress Xuan used to support the Fourth Prince, and she must have had deep feelings for him. Now that the Fourth Prince is in Chengqian Palace, Empress Xuan must be missing him sick, right?"

Wen Shan just smiled: "The Fourth Prince is the adopted son of the Imperial Concubine. I've only been taking care of him for a few months. If we talk about missing him, it's naturally the Imperial Concubine who misses him the most."

She was very good at saying such polite words.

Ping Guiren suddenly sighed: "I don't think so. Empress Xuan doesn't know yet. Imperial Concubine Tongjia thought that the Fourth Prince killed her younger brother when she lost her son. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
