Yinreng almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.

If Second Uncle knew that you were making up stories about him behind his back, he would definitely beat you up.

"If Mingzhu and Suo'etu hadn't come later, who knows how this matter would have ended."

"So? You want to become a civil servant like Suo Etu and Mingzhu?"

Yinzhen shook his head.

"I want to be able to lie with my eyes open like them, so that I won't be fooled to death by the enemy when I lead troops in battle in the future."

Concubine Hui couldn't help it, she grabbed the teacup at hand and was about to throw it, but when she saw something was wrong, she put it down and picked up a piece of chestnut cake and chased Yinzhen to beat him.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat?"

Yinreng was already laughing.

[As expected, he is still his silly and foolish elder brother. 】

"What's going on?"

Kangxi walked in with a serious face. Why did he become the silly brother?

"What did the boss do again?"

Huifei, who was chasing Yinzhen, didn't stop and threw herself directly into Kangxi's arms, knocking Kangxi back two steps.

Yinzhi saluted hastily and couldn't help but stand aside and laugh wildly with his head down.

Concubine Hui exchanged a glance with Kangxi and quickly stood up. "Your concubine... Your concubine is impolite, Your concubine..."

"Okay."

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's all a small matter, my beloved concubine, don't mind it."

Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and when Kangxi turned around, she secretly glared at Yinzhen.

"Father Emperor, my eldest brother has had great ambitions since returning from Jiangnan. Not only has he made great progress in his martial arts, but he has also been studying hard in his literary studies."

Yinreng took the opportunity to speak well of his elder brother.

Kangxi smiled.

"Oh, why is Boss so motivated all of a sudden?"

"son……"

Yinreng quickly interrupted Yinzhi and said, "Brother, during this bandit suppression operation, you have felt the power of the words of a civil official. At the same time, you have also realized that if you want to lead troops in battle in the future, you need more than just military force. You also need a brain that is good at deploying troops."

Kangxi smiled and asked, "Did your elder brother say that?"

Yinreng nodded heavily.

Yinzhen: Although this is not the original words, this is what I mean.

Concubine Hui: It is the Crown Prince who will make the summary.

Kangxi: Do you think I believe it?

"It's a good idea, Boss. It will give you a direction for your future efforts. Would you like the Emperor to find you a Master Wen?"

Yinzhen chuckled and shook his head, "The masters in the upper study are very capable, there's no need to look for more."

Kangxi looked at his naughty eldest son and shook his head in amusement.

I used to think that this child had become more mature after coming back, but now it seems that he is still too jumpy.

Forget it, when he is older, I will hand him over to Prince Yu to be trained in the army.

Since Kangxi and the Crown Prince were both there, dinner was naturally served in the Chuxiu Palace.

After finishing the matter, Yinreng took the initiative to say that he wanted to talk to Yinzhi about the affairs in Jiangnan, and the two brothers went straight back to the Qianqing Palace, leaving Kangxi in the Chuxiu Palace.

That night, Yinzhen and Yinreng talked a lot about things in Jiangnan, and the two brothers kept chatting until the late night before going to bed.

When Yinreng woke up the next day, Yinzhi had already gone to the study.

"Hasn't the Emperor left the court yet?"

After breakfast, Yinreng felt that Kangxi would have returned by this time of year. Could it be that something happened in the court today?

He Yuzhu explained, "The Emperor was summoned to Chengqian Palace. He was told that the Imperial Noble Consort and Empress Hui had quarreled, and the Imperial Noble Consort, in a fit of rage, punished Empress Hui."

Yinreng was stunned.

The Imperial Noble Consort punished Concubine Hui?

Although in the harem, the one with a higher rank has absolute say. But it is only normal for high-ranking concubines to quarrel with low-ranking concubines, such as the imperial concubine and concubine. But if the word "punishment" is used, it is not normal.

"Have you gone to inquire about it? What exactly is going on?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I have inquired about it. I heard that the eldest prince has been very popular recently. In addition, the emperor stayed overnight in Chuxiu Palace yesterday. Therefore, when everyone came to pay their respects this morning, the Imperial Concubine made a few sarcastic remarks about Concubine Hui."

"I heard that Concubine Hui didn't say anything at first, but then the Imperial Noble Concubine said, 'If I give birth to a brainless child, even if it's a prince, what does it matter?' This immediately angered Concubine Hui, and the two of them immediately started arguing. So the Imperial Noble Concubine punished Concubine Hui by making her kneel at the palace gate."

Yinreng frowned, "Tong Jia is too arrogant. Empress Hui is a concubine and the mother of the emperor's eldest son. How can she be punished to kneel?"

He Yuzhu knew his master was on Huifei's side, so he followed suit and said, "Look, after the emperor learned about this, he muttered something terrible and went straight to Chengqian Palace."

Inside Chengqian Palace.

Kangxi sat at the top seat. Concubine Hui had already been helped down by Ruixue to sit down. The Imperial Noble Concubine beside him was still angry, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Your Majesty, I am the Imperial Noble Consort, with the same rank as the Vice Empress. Why can't I punish a concubine of the same rank? Isn't she just relying on the fact that she gave birth to the Emperor's eldest son, as if everyone else doesn't have a son?"

"presumptuous!"

Kangxi could no longer bear it and started to scold the imperial concubine.

"Look at the way you're talking now. You don't act like a royal concubine at all. You act more like a country woman. I made you a royal concubine because I want you to lead the harem and take good care of the princes and princesses there, not because I want you to be like a fighting cock and look down on everyone."

The imperial concubine was not convinced and wanted to take the blame, but Kangxi stopped her with a look.

"Since you know that the position of Imperial Noble Consort is equivalent to that of Vice Queen, you should have considered whether you can handle this position with your own abilities. You are not even a fraction as good as Empress Xiaochengren, let alone Empress Xiaozhaoren. Making you an Imperial Noble Consort is truly a great honor for you."

"It's bad enough that you don't know how to be humble, but you even dare to act so arrogantly in the harem. Let me ask you, since you became the Imperial Noble Consort, have you been filial to the Grand Empress Dowager and taken good care of the children?"

Tong Jia was so dumbfounded by the scolding that her eyes became dull.

She and Kangxi were childhood sweethearts. She knew from a young age that she would marry her cousin sooner or later, and her heart was full of her cousin.

She cared more about her cousin's love and care for her than her status.

But since she entered the palace, she was first told that she would never be allowed to have children. After she unwillingly took action against the prince, she was cruelly forced to drink a bowl of sterilizing soup.

Who could know how much pain she was in at that time?

But later her cousin asked her to raise the Fourth Prince, and she thought the relationship between her and her cousin was slowly improving.

I didn't expect that I would be so unbearable in my cousin's heart.

Tong Jia immediately stood up and looked at Kangxi with tears in her eyes.

"Since my cousin thinks I'm unworthy, then I'll revoke my title of Imperial Noble Consort..."

Shushu, who was shocked on the side, no longer blamed the hierarchy. She stepped forward and covered the imperial concubine's mouth. Then a group of palace maids knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. My queen caught a cold yesterday and may have had a fever and is confused."

Shushu kept begging Kangxi for mercy, but Kangxi had a cold face.

"Since the Imperial Noble Consort is ill, please take good care of yourself. Starting tomorrow, Consort Hui will be in charge of the six palaces."

After saying that, he turned his sleeves and left without looking back.

Concubine Hui, who was originally feeling aggrieved, stopped crying as soon as she heard this. She raised her little hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, hummed, and left happily from the sight of the Imperial Noble Concubine.
