Ever since Kangxi discovered he could overhear Yinreng's inner thoughts, the father and son duo entered a mode filled with chaos along with a warm and filial relationship.
Yinreng wanted ...
Little Four said coquettishly, "Eighth brother wants to see the eldest sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Irgen Jueluo blushed immediately, then stood up, looked at Yinsi, bowed, and said with a smile, "Hello, Eighth Brother."
Yinsi was completely frozen in place. He had never seen such a grand scene before. He had originally just wanted to take a sneak peek, but who would have thought...
Concubine Hui naturally understood the child's temperament. Seeing him standing there at a loss, she immediately pulled him to her side and introduced him, "This is your eldest sister-in-law. Come and pay your respects to her."
Yinsi finally came to his senses and said, "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Irgen Jueluo smiled and nodded, "I brought gifts for my brothers and sisters in the palace, and I will send someone to deliver them later."
Yinsi pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Kangxi didn't feel anything when he saw Xiaoba like this, but he could always remember Baocheng's evaluation of Xiaoba, and he just couldn't like this child in his heart.
Even every time he saw this child, he couldn't help but wonder, how could such a cowardly thing be Baocheng's rival in his previous life?
A rival stronger than the boss?
"Are your other brothers all in Yuqing Palace?"
Kangxi looked at Yinsi, who immediately became nervous and said, "Yes."
Seeing how nervous Xiao Ba was, Kangxi didn't know what to say. He looked at Xiao Si and said, "Since the other brothers are in Yuqing Palace, you should take your younger brother with you."
Yinzhen nodded, took Xiaoba to pay his respects to everyone, and left.
He was cool and happy throughout the whole process, without any sign of a coffin-like face.
The eldest brother seemed to have grown up quickly after getting married, and even when he met Yinreng, he was no longer as unreliable as before.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of October.
As soon as Yinreng returned from the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he heard He Yuzhu say, "Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince was just born safely. Consort Zhangjia was also promoted to Noble Lady Min."
Yinreng stopped abruptly and then slapped his forehead.
"How could I have forgotten this?"
The chivalrous and brave Little Thirteen was born today. He was still thinking about this matter a few days ago, but he forgot about it when the day came.
"Hurry up and prepare some gifts for me to send to the Thirteenth Prince."
He Yuzhu nodded. He didn't quite know how many gifts he should prepare, but seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to care a lot about the Thirteenth Prince, he decided to prepare as many as possible.
Because of the Crown Prince's reward and his previous evaluation of Little Thirteen, Kangxi would go to Changchun Palace to visit them in his spare time, which surprised everyone in the harem.
Everything was thriving in Changchun Palace, but the Chengqian Palace was filled with the smell of medicine.
Tong Jia was ill.
Because she drank the sterilization soup a few years ago and was poisoned again, her health had been very poor. In addition, things had not been going well for the past few years, and her mood was not good, which led to her health getting worse and worse.
"My Lady, I will serve you medicine."
Wu Ya took the medicine bowl, tested the temperature, and then began to feed the medicine.
Tong Jia originally didn't want to use her, always worried that she would poison her a second time, but she also wanted to find an opportunity to torture her, so she asked Shushu to keep an eye on her so that she had no chance to do anything.
The illness lasted for a full month. I don’t know if someone was keeping an eye on Uya, preventing her from taking action, or if she simply didn’t want to do it this time.
After a month of serving him, he was actually quite attentive, without any unnecessary nonsense or small movements, and seemed really honest.
When Tong Jia heard Shushu talking about the scenery of Changchun Palace, and thought about the last time she saw Kangxi, which was the New Year's Eve palace banquet, she felt sad.
After thinking for a long time, he let Shushu spread some rumors about his serious illness.
Sure enough, when Kangxi heard about this, he was obviously stunned, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Liang Jiugong was strange.
"Tongpin has been seriously ill for a month?"
Liang Jiugong was also a little embarrassed. "Yes, it's been a month. But I have been sending people to inquire about it. I heard that Concubine Tong has been much better recently."
Kangxi slammed the table and asked, "Why didn't you come and report?"
Liang Jiugong immediately knelt down and said, "It's all my fault. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."
He was the first to hear the news of Tong Jia's illness. The reason why he did not report it was that it was almost known to everyone in the palace that the emperor disliked her. In addition, because of the stupid things she had done in the past, he did not dare to say anything in front of the emperor.
Secondly, ever since Concubine Min gave birth to the Thirteenth Prince, the Emperor has often visited her and her son, which is clearly a sign of her being favored.
Bringing up Tong Jia at this time is just looking for trouble.
But I can think this in my heart, but I can't say it out loud.
After Kangxi glared at Liang Jiugong fiercely, he went to Chengqian Palace. As soon as he stepped in, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
The palace maids were all surprised to see him coming. Some wanted to go in to report, but he stopped them.
As I stepped into the bedroom, I saw Uya sitting by the bed and feeding Tonggiya medicine. Although the two of them didn't have much conversation, they seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other. It seemed that this was not the first time they had done this.
"Why are you sick?"
Kangxi suddenly shouted, which scared Uya. Her hand shook and the spoon fell to the ground.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
Shushu and a group of palace maids also knelt down to pay their respects, then stood up and brought in a clean spoon.
Kangxi didn't even look at Uya, but walked to the bed and sat down.
"Since you are sick, why don't you send someone to find me?"
Tong Jia looked at Kangxi for a long time without saying a word, but tears flowed down her eyes.
"emperor……"
Upon seeing this, Uya bowed and retreated.
Perhaps it was because Tong Jia's illness was too serious, or perhaps she had been too honest in recent times, Kangxi's attention to her was unprecedentedly high this time.
Not only did he have the imperial physician come to take his pulse every day, but he himself would also come to visit from time to time.
As a result, Concubine Min, who had just begun to show signs of favor in the harem, was instantly overshadowed.
And for some unknown reason, Tong Jia recommended Uya to Kangxi, saying that what happened in the past should be in the past.
Therefore, Kangxi favored Uya several times in succession, which made her appear in front of everyone in the harem again.
At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, Uya appeared in front of everyone in a high-profile manner. When her eyes occasionally swept across the positions of Yinzhen and Prince Chun's mansion, her expressions were ambiguous.
When the Empress Dowager saw her like this, she frowned deeply.
It was originally thought that her glory would continue, but unexpectedly, when the banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was about to end, Concubine Min suddenly vomited and was then diagnosed with pregnancy.
Wu Ya looked over with a grim expression. How come this woman was pregnant again not long after she came out of confinement?
Kangxi clapped his hands and shouted, saying that Concubine Min was a blessed person.
Everyone in the harem had different moods, but the front court was uniformly anxious.
Tsarist Russia, which had just signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk with the Qing Dynasty, saw that it could not defeat the Qing Dynasty directly, so it tricked Galdan into harassing Khalkha Mongolia, indirectly creating trouble for the Qing Dynasty.
