Upon hearing this, Yinzhen glanced at Yinreng strangely.

He always felt that there was a lot of resentment in his second brother's words.

But the emperor didn't treat my second brother the same way he treated my third brother.

Where does this resentment come from?

"Living without a clear mind is much better than suffering in waking life. The third brother is in such a state that he can no longer withstand any kind of blow..."

"……I see."

Half a month after the third prince's son had his third bath, the first wife, Irgen Jueluo, also gave birth to a healthy son.

The birth process was rather dangerous. The little prince's fetal position was abnormal. If it weren't for the experienced nanny that Yinzhi asked Kangxi for, the outcome might have been one death and two lives.

Afterwards, the imperial physician examined the eldest wife's pulse and said that her foundation had been damaged and it would be difficult for her to have children in the future.

Yinzhi had nothing to be disappointed about.

After all, he already has both a son and a daughter, and his son is also the legitimate son. He doesn't care even if no legitimate son is born in the future.

There is only one better one, he can love his legitimate son without reservation.

Kangxi also gave enough face and personally visited the eldest prince's mansion when Yinzhi's son was having his third birthday.

In early August, there was a rare heavy rain in Beijing, and the temperature also plummeted. The temperature, which was originally around 30 degrees, only dropped to a few degrees after the heavy rain.

As a result, Concubine Nianhulu caught a severe cold and was unable to get out of bed for several days.

The tenth prince Yin? was gloomy every day and had no energy for anything.

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tianjin Port was officially completed.

Yinzhen and Yinsi also submitted memorials proposing to impose additional tariffs. After Kangxi summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter, he decided to first charge a tariff of 10% to 20% of the price of imported goods, depending on the category.

Yinsi took advantage of the Lifanyuan to publicize to Western missionaries the benefits of doing business in the Qing Dynasty.

Only then did Kangxi understand why Yinsi insisted on going to the Lifanyuan.

What surprised Yinreng was that the first country to establish a trade channel with Tianjin Port was an island country.

However, when he thought about the Japanese people's tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong, and their somewhat despicable and shameless nature, Yinreng began to understand a little.

After all, the old man had already made his final judgment on the island nation: "Wako-kun is the most capricious nation. Its people are extremely mean, ignorant of the existence of kindness and friendship, and are only intimidated by the power of force... Therefore, they must not be treated with the slightest kindness."

The Qing Dynasty is now a powerful country, and the island countries can only lick its boots.

But privately...

Thinking of the occasional bandit troubles on the southeast coastline, Yinreng felt a little itchy.

No, he had to give Yinsi a good explanation of the island country's despicable behavior.

The more you can squeeze out of them, the better. Don’t let them take advantage!

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the port, Concubine Nianhulu's body was also at the end of its life.

On October 23, Concubine Niuhulu passed away.

In fact, Kangxi did not have much feelings for her, but the dead are the most important, so he would not give her less than the honor she deserved.

The funeral ceremony for Consort Nianhulu was very high. In addition to the princes and princesses and members of the royal family, all Manchu and Han officials above the third rank were required to enter the palace to pay their respects.

It was on such a grand occasion that the two younger brothers of Concubine Nianhulu made a joke that left the whole capital dumbfounded.

When Kangxi went to the mourning hall of Concubine Niohuru to burn incense for her, Alinga accused Faka on the spot, saying that Faka had an affair with his concubine.

Faka was so shocked by his action that he forgot to argue. He just stared at Alinga blankly, unable to utter a word.

There was dead silence in the mourning hall.

Kangxi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yinreng rolled his eyes.

"How did this idiot survive until now? There has to be a limit to framing your half-brother. Only he could do something so stupid that even a person with a broken brain wouldn't do it!"

After hearing this, Kangxi's face became even darker.

"Alinga, you said that Fakha had an affair with your concubine. Do you have any evidence?"

Alinga's face was filled with grief and anger, and he glared at Faka fiercely.

"Of course! That bitch admitted it herself!"

"Oh, if I whip you for two days, you'll admit anything. You're just a weakling who only knows how to hit women!"

Kangxi understood and stared at Alinga and asked in a cold voice,

"Then who can prove that the lawsuit you filed against Faka wasn't fabricated out of thin air by you and your concubine?"

Alinga's expression froze for a moment, then he argued,

"Your Majesty, what man would cheat on himself just to frame someone else?!"

'You, you, only you! Disgusting green-haired turtle!'

Yinreng kept muttering to himself, and it really proved the saying that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish; when a person is too lowly, he will have no enemies.

Alinga's meanness was truly unprecedented in his life.

"Words are not enough. Besides your concubine, was there anyone else who saw Faka having an affair with her?"

Hearing the word "secret meeting", Faka's face turned red.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I don't even know who the concubine he's talking about is!"

Kangxi ignored him and looked straight at Alinga.

When Alinga heard Kangxi's question, the hot blood in his forehead instantly cooled down, his eyes rolled around, and he couldn't think of a solution in the end. He could only mumble,

“No…no.”

He wanted to fabricate a witness, but he didn't coordinate his testimony with anyone else except the people around him.

If the emperor doesn't believe what his concubine says, then he may not believe what the people around him say either.

Alinga is in a bit of a pickle.

He was afraid that the commotion would cause too much trouble, so he asked Faka to receive the news in advance and did not dare to involve too many people.

Kangxi was extremely angry when he saw him like this.

No matter what, Concubine Nianhulu was still his concubine. If Alinga dared to cause trouble at her funeral, it would be a slap in his face.

"So... you have no other evidence?"

Alinga raised his head and looked at Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, that bitch has my brother's jade pendant and calligraphy!"

"Tsk... How did it come about? Don't you know it?"

Kangxi chuckled softly.

"In that case, I will ask the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation!"

After saying this, Kangxi glanced at the dejected Tenth Prince and turned to leave the mourning hall.

Alinga thought his plan worked and looked at Faka triumphantly.

Faka glared at Alinga resentfully.

He was upright and not afraid of Alinga's false accusations, but he could not tolerate Alinga causing trouble at his sister's funeral.

Regardless of the results of the Dali Temple's investigation, Faka decided not to endure it any longer.

The farce at Concubine Nianhulu's funeral soon spread to every corner of the capital.

Alinga completely disgraced the Niuhulu family.

That afternoon, when Alinga returned home, he was faced with accusations and abuse from the elders of the family.
