Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Ping Guiren saw Wen Shan in a daze...

Ping Guiren saw Wen Shan's dazed expression and curled her lips and continued: "I just heard some rumors and gossiped with you. After all, you and the Fourth Prince have a relationship. If the Queen has time, you might as well go and persuade the Imperial Concubine. The Fourth Prince is a prince and it's not easy to treat him harshly."

Yinsi, who was listening behind the screen, narrowed his eyes and thought that Ping Guiren wanted to stir up trouble and use his mother to suppress Tong Jia Guifei. His mother was of noble birth and supported by the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother. Now she is supporting him. In theory, she can compete with Tong Jia Guifei.

Now the three concubines with the highest status in the palace are Tong Jia Guifei, Niu Hulu and his mother.

It's just that Wen Shan doesn't like to compete for favor, so Tong Jia Guifei and Niu Hulu are more popular. Although Rongpin and others have princes, they are not grown up after all, and their birth is not as good as these three, so they are not too eye-catching.

Wen Shan was also somewhat surprised to hear what Ping Guiren said, and she was somewhat confused about what Concubine Tong Jia was thinking.

According to current customs, it is common for couples to adopt a child after a long period of childlessness. The general saying is that these couples are not destined to have children, and if they adopt a child, perhaps the child will have the fate of having brothers and sisters, and naturally they will have biological children.

For example, this is why the eldest princess was brought into the palace by Kangxi to be raised.

Thinking of the eldest princess, Wen Shan felt even more puzzled. With the example of the eldest princess in front of her, how could Concubine Tong Jia have such an idea? Isn't this going against Kangxi?

Ping Guiren stopped talking and left leisurely without saying anything more.

Pearl and Amber entered the palace and were a little surprised to see that Concubine Ping was gone. Concubine Ping really came and left in a hurry today. Wen Shan grabbed the two of them and waved her hand to ask them to call Feicui and Baoquan in as well.

Yinsi listened to the five people talking together and didn't understand what Ping Guiren meant. It was even so distorted that maybe Ping Guiren came to remind them out of kindness. He finally couldn't help but make some noise.

He kicked over a small toy at his feet.

Wen Shan then remembered that Yinsi was still behind him and quickly picked him up. Seeing his aggrieved expression, she coaxed him for a while. Amber, who came up with this stupid conclusion, came forward and said: "Is the Eighth Prince tired of lying down? Otherwise, let me carry the Eighth Prince to the garden for a walk."

Yinsi turned around and buried his head in Wen Shan's chest. It was clear that he wanted to stick to his mother now.

Prevent these five people from coming to any earth-shattering conclusions.

It seems that the days in Xianfu Palace are too leisurely and comfortable. From the master to the servant, there is no sense of danger. Fortunately ,

although Wen Shan is a little slow to understand these intrigues, her intuition is very accurate. She thinks that Ping Guiren came here with bad intentions this time. After discussing for a long time, the final decision was to keep the troops in place for the time being.

According to Wen Shan, we should support whatever the enemy opposes; we should oppose whatever the enemy supports!

Ping Guiren obviously wanted her to stir up some trouble. No matter what it was for, as long as she pretended not to know Ping Guiren, she would not be able to do anything. Baoquan

, Zhenzhu, Amber and Feicui collectively applauded to support their master's decision. Wen Shan was satisfied and asked them to disperse. She hurried to prepare the ingredients and prepare to go to Cining Palace again at noon.

After listening for a long time, Yinsi was quite satisfied with Wen Shan's decision. Now he really couldn't act rashly. As long as they were not anxious, it was Ping Guiren who was anxious.

Moreover, the more he thought about what his mother said, the more he felt it made sense. Such a profound and sharp sentence could actually come from his mother's mouth. Yinsi was in awe and thought that this might be great wisdom in disguise.

Fortunately, Wen Shan didn't know what her seemingly well-behaved little son was thinking, otherwise she would definitely give him a slap in the face.

After the palace maids left, Wen Shan walked around the palace with Yinsi in her arms, talking to him incessantly.

"Xiao Ba, do you think what Concubine Ping said is true?"

"Mother always feels that what she said is true, otherwise your fourth brother wouldn't be so sad."

"What should we do? If that's the case, we can't let Yinzhen stay in Chengqian Palace for a long time. What if he has some psychological problems?"

Yinsi thought that although Mother was not good at these mental tricks, she was warm and sincere. Most of the time, her sunny attitude made Yinsi feel a little ashamed. For example, this time when Concubine Ping came to talk about this, Mother already understood that she had bad intentions, but she still didn't have any resentment towards Concubine Ping for plotting against her. She didn't even care about her purpose. She was only worried about her fourth brother.

I think the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother liked Mother and were willing to protect her because of this innocent heart. And most of the time, I don't know if it's because fools have good luck or good people have good rewards, Mother didn't suffer any loss.

Maybe being more straightforward will have a different effect.

Yinsi is here to reflect on himself three times a day. Wenshan has been holding him and talking to him for a long time. Although Yinsi doesn't understand what Wenshan means by psychological problems, seeing that his mother is so worried about the fourth brother, he stretches out his little hand and takes the initiative to touch Wenshan. Wenshan feels that most of her troubles are gone when his delicate face is rubbed. Yinsi accepts his mother's passionate kiss with a wooden face, thinking that he has really paid too much for her.

This account must be put on the head of the fourth brother!

Wait until he comes back and see how he will deal with this troublemaker!

Sure enough, there was no movement in Xianfu Palace, and Ping Guiren began to get anxious.

"Did I misjudge Concubine Xuan? She had obviously fallen out with Niu Hulu for the fourth prince before, and she didn't react at all when she heard about this?" Ping Guiren said suspiciously with a gloomy face.

Ping Guiren's personal maid was also a maid brought from the Hesheli family named Chunjiang. Chunjiang said tentatively: "Maybe Concubine Xuan just wanted to gain a good reputation that day. Didn't she adopt the Eighth Prince because of this?" "

It is somewhat possible. If she only used the Fourth Prince as a raft and stepping stone, she would naturally not care about this matter." After a while, Ping Guiren still felt that something was wrong: "Why do I still feel that Concubine Xuan is not a person with such a mind? If so, why doesn't she fight for favor?"

What's the point of just raising other people's children? Now that the emperor is in his prime, the other concubines in the palace want to hold the emperor and give birth to a prince of their own, so that their family can rise straight up.

If it weren't for the fact that the clan had told her before entering the palace that the first priority for her to enter the palace was to support the prince to grow up safely, and Hesheli was worried that if she had a prince, she would have other intentions, and the Hesheli family would inevitably split into two factions. When they started fighting internally, it would weaken their own strength. It would be better to fully support the prince.

Such a prince who was born to the empress and raised by the emperor himself, as long as he grows up, he will be the next emperor.

The emperor had no interest in her, so she accepted her fate and concentrated on taking care of the prince according to the clan's wishes.

Chunjiang was also a little impatient: "Miss, the master means that we should find a way to pull Concubine Tong Jia down as soon as possible, and never let her ascend to the throne. If she has a prince in the future, she will be a strong rival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine Ping closed her eyes. A few days ago, the Hesheli family sent a letter saying that the emperor seemed to want to make Tong Jia the queen. Before she entered the palace, her father Soetu had a heart-to-heart talk with her. Soetu bluntly said that the emperor would never make the daughters of the Hesheli family and the Niuhuru family the queen again, so she and Niuhuru seemed to be in a good mood when they entered the palace this time, but in fact they might be making wedding clothes for others.

At that time, Soetu pointed out that this person was most likely the emperor's in-laws, Tong Jia.

A few days ago, I don't know where the clan got the news from, but they hurriedly passed the news to her, asking her to find a way to pull Concubine Tong Jia off the stage. Although the Tong Jia clan was in the limelight in the court, if Concubine

Tong Jia made a big mistake in the harem, she would not be able to be crowned as the queen. Once Concubine Tong Jia ascended the throne and gave birth to a prince, it would be troublesome for the child to have the support of the Tong Jia clan.

So when she accidentally met the two eunuchs in Chengqian Palace that day and learned about this from them, Concubine Ping was ecstatic. This was simply God's help to her. She was just worried that she had no handle on Concubine Tong Jia, and

now she had it delivered to her door. Concubine Ping originally planned that Concubine Xuan should have made a fuss about this matter. If Concubine Xuan wanted to make a big deal out of it, it would be very simple. She could just report it to the Empress Dowager like she did last time.

Once the matter spread, Tong Jia would definitely fall flat on her face.

She was accused of framing the prince and mistreating him. This crime was enough to make her suffer.

Once it was confirmed, she would no longer have the possibility of becoming the queen.

But now, Concubine Xuan had failed.

Concubine Xuan did not make any movement. She still carried the Eighth Prince to visit the garden and went to the Cining Palace to entertain the two old ancestors, which made Concubine Ping doubt whether she had made a mistake.

So the next day, Concubine Cheng, who was on good terms with Concubine Ping, took the Seventh Prince to the Xianfu Palace under the pretext of exchanging ideas on how to raise a child.

The Seventh Prince was able to stay with Concubine Cheng to raise one because the Seventh Prince was born with some disabilities and Kangxi did not pay much attention to him. In addition, Concubine Ping had helped behind the scenes, so Concubine Cheng followed Concubine

Ping's lead from then on. After chatting for a few words, Concubine Cheng observed Wen Shan's expression, took a sip of tea and said, "The tea here is excellent, and I heard that the imperial tea this year will arrive later. It seems that the bad rain last year has affected this year's harvest. Those tea farmers must hate this day, and we don't have any good tea to drink."

She was making innuendos and making sarcastic remarks.

Yinsi, who was held in Wenshan's arms, couldn't help but put his fingers into his mouth again. He just smacked his lips twice and heard his mother say enthusiastically: "I still have some Biluochun that I collected last year. If you don't mind, take some back. It's not a good tea, but it's still very fragrant for me to drink."

Cheng Guiren: "..."

Yinsi couldn't help but applaud Cheng Guiren's face as she went out with a bunch of tea leaves.

Wenshan pursed Yinsi's soft hair that had just grown, and complained: "I knew that they came here suddenly for no good, it turned out that they came here to beg for things!"

It's really boring to sit here and talk for a long time just to order some tea!

Yinsi: "..."

It turned out that mother didn't understand the hidden meaning of others. He thought mother was using her strength to fight back.

But accidentally, he also pushed Cheng Guiren's little thoughts back.

Wen Shan complained for a while and then held her chin up and said: "The Empress Dowager asked me to wait and see. I don't know how long I have to wait. What should I do if the imperial concubine bullies Yinzhen?"

"I worry about this in my dreams at night. I am worried every day if Yinzhen doesn't come back."

In fact, Wen Shan had already reported this matter to the Empress Dowager on the day that Concubine Ping came.

It was not for the Empress Dowager to make a decision for Yinzhen, but she had a hunch that this matter was not so simple. If she was asked to deal with it, she didn't know what kind of trouble would happen. So Wen Shan, who had a clear understanding of herself, chose to report it directly to the Empress Dowager to make a decision.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face suddenly darkened. She was silent for a long time, and sighed leisurely when she saw Wen Shan's innocent and clear eyes.

She waved her hand, held her forehead and said: "Don't worry about it, just wait and see."

"But Yinzhen..."

"You are lucky, someone is eager to send the child back to you." The Empress Dowager glared at her, "Just wait."

Although Wen Shan didn't quite understand, she had another advantage, which was obedience. She never missed what the Empress Dowager said, so she chose to wait honestly.

After Wen Shan left, Su Malagu smiled and said: "The ancestor said before that he didn't care about it, but when Concubine Xuan came to ask you, you couldn't help it again."

"Who knew that the Hesheli family was involved again. Now that it concerns

the crown prince, it's not just a small fight like before, so Wenshan can't go wherever she wants." The Empress Dowager snorted, "Wenshan is a lucky girl. She finally went to the emperor's place a few days ago, but she didn't go after hitting a wall. I wanted to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her know that life in the palace is comfortable only when she can make the emperor happy. The concubines in the harem rely on the emperor and the children all their lives. How can she always avoid the emperor? I didn't expect that someone would intervene and take advantage of her."

Su Malagu suppressed her smile, "With you and the empress dowager here, Concubine Xuan will not be wronged."

The Empress Dowager recalled Wenshan's clear eyes just now and sneered helplessly, "Forget it, I think she is a fool with good luck."

Wenshan waited anxiously for more than half a month, and sure enough, the matter of Concubine Tong Jia taking her anger out on the Fourth Prince because of the loss of her son was reported to the emperor.

The first person to accuse Wen Shan was somewhat surprised. It turned out to be the eldest prince's biological mother, Huipin.
