The Empress Dowager listened outside for a while before coming in. She was very pleased that the Crown Prince and his family were genuinely concerned for the Fourth Prince. As people get older, they love to see their children and grandchildren living in harmony and loving each other.

The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi with a sense of disappointment. Even the Crown Prince felt it was unfair to the Fourth Prince, but she never expected that Kangxi would listen to Uya's words.

This Uya clanswoman is quite capable of spreading rumors and inciting people. With only the rank of a noblewoman, she was able to incite Emperor Kangxi. If she were in a higher position, it would be hard to guarantee that she wouldn't do things that would harm the Qing Dynasty.

Like all overprotective elders, the Empress Dowager believed that even if her grandson made a mistake, it was definitely not his fault, but rather someone else's.

Consort Wuya considered all possibilities, but she never expected the Empress Dowager to come. Didn't the Empress Dowager dislike Tongjia Qingyao? And she rarely left Cining Palace, so why did she come to Chengqian Palace today for Tongjia Qingyao?

The Empress Dowager looked at Consort Wuya, who was dressed in clothes that were neither new nor old, and wore a simple glass flower on her headdress. Because she was pregnant, she looked very gentle.

"Noble Lady Wuya!" the Empress Dowager exclaimed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Consort Wuya replied hastily.

"You just said that everyone except the Crown Prince is born out of wedlock, including the Emperor, right?"

“This servant…” Consort Wuya was trembling all over and could not utter a complete sentence.

"What you say is true, but I can tell you that the princes are not the same as the illegitimate children you mentioned."

The illegitimate children you mentioned are those born to concubines or mistresses in the household. Even if the mothers of princes and princesses have low ranks, they are still the chosen ones of heaven and masters!

They were all carefully raised and nurtured by the royal family; how could those illegitimate sons and daughters you speak of compare to them! The Empress Dowager said with an air of authority without anger.

"How dare you, a mere noble, interfere in Xiao Si's marriage? Who gave you the audacity? You even want to marry Xiao Si a concubine's daughter as his wife."

Even if you are Xiao Si's biological mother, so what? Xiao Si is a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family, and will not tolerate being treated poorly by a mere palace maid's mother!

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she looked at Kangxi and said, "Emperor, you are really confused. You believe whatever she says and let her lead you by the nose."

"If I hadn't come today, would you really have arranged for your fourth son to marry a concubine's daughter?"

"Grandmother, I was too hasty!" Kangxi was also glad that the Empress Dowager had arrived, otherwise he might have really done as Consort Wuya suggested.

Seeing that Kangxi was somewhat at a loss, the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to say anything too harsh. "Xuanye, I have always told you to stay calm in the face of things. Look at the state you are in now."

I know you're worried about the Imperial Concubine, but you mustn't panic. If you panic, what will happen to these children?

Kangxi was awakened by the Empress Dowager's words, "Thank you, Grandmother, I know what to do!"

The Empress Dowager patted Kangxi on the back with satisfaction, "These are the true descendants of the Aisin Gioro clan!"

"Let's go, accompany me to see the Imperial Concubine!"

"Your grandson is unfilial, causing you and Empress Dowager so much trouble!" Kangxi felt extremely guilty as he looked at the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who had rushed over late at night.

"Your mother and I are also worried about Consort Tongjia. After all, we watched her grow up, and we can't rest easy without seeing her!" The Empress Dowager's dissatisfaction with Consort Tongjia was also due to Emperor Kangxi, as she felt that Kangxi valued Consort Tongjia too much.

Consort Tongjia was raised by Empress Xiaokangzhang's side, and at that time, the Empress Dowager was quite fond of Consort Tongjia.

When the Empress Dowager arrived, she saw two people kneeling in front of Consort Tongjia's bed.

When Consort Hui and Consort Rong saw the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager arrive, they were startled, but immediately rose and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager!"

"Rise, all of you!" said the Empress Dowager.

"Who is the fourth prince in front of the Consort's bed? Who is the other one?" He Xue had her back to the Empress Dowager at the moment, so the Empress Dowager did not recognize her immediately.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, it is He Xue!" the Crown Prince stepped forward and said.

"So it's Suhetai's daughter!" The Empress Dowager nodded, saying that she had thought the girl looked familiar.
