Consort Wenxi was the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhaoren. She entered the palace to maintain the marriage alliance between the Niohuru family and the royal family. She was allowed to have children because of her years of obedience. Although she was a consort, she did not hold any power and was more like a mascot.

After Consort Wenxi gave birth to the Tenth Prince Yinzhen and the Seventh Princess, Emperor Kangxi rarely stepped into her palace. Consort Wenxi didn't mind, as she was very content with her son and daughter.

Although Consort Yi was greatly favored by Emperor Kangxi, because the Fifth Prince was raised by the Empress Dowager and had a connection with Mongolia, Emperor Kangxi did not want the two princes under Consort Yi's name to be influenced by Mongolian power or to pose a threat to the Crown Prince. Therefore, he intentionally distanced himself from the Ninth Prince.

In addition, the Ninth Prince had a fondness for yellow and white objects, so Emperor Kangxi did not like him.

These two, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, although they are the sons of imperial concubines in the palace, they cannot win the favor of their father, the emperor. What can they do?

The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was the adopted son of Empress Tong. Furthermore, his birth mother, Consort De, had been gentle and attentive to Emperor Kangxi over the years, earning him great favor.

Naturally, he's just like the ninth and tenth sons, who are also unpopular.

In addition, Yinzhen was the only prince who was close to the crown prince, so Kangxi naturally liked him.

Consort De was a very capable person.

Emperor Kangxi conferred titles of concubines and imperial consorts in large batches, but she was the only one to be conferred the title of concubine on a separate occasion, which shows her ability.

She was made a concubine again just two years later, a speed that was astonishing.

This caused dissatisfaction in the harem at the time. However, Consort De was a clever woman. She used her son, Yinzhen, to get Empress Tong (who was then Consort Tong) to ignore her path to becoming a concubine or imperial consort. She also used her daughter, Princess Wenxian, to gain the Empress Dowager's favor. As a result, the other concubines gave up.

It turns out that the two of them encountered the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, on their way here. The person they are talking about now is the Fourth Prince, who is known for his cold-faced scolding of his younger brother.

Yinzhen had just come from Consort De's place. Consort De doted on his fourteenth son, who was also her son, but ignored him. He was depressed and his face was naturally not good.

However, because Yinzhen was too talkative when he was young, Kangxi got annoyed by his nagging and gave him the comment "unpredictable mood". His facial expressions became less frequent, and he always had a stern face, giving people a very unapproachable feeling.

When Yinzhen was young, he had some conflict with the Ninth Prince Yintang over a puppy.

One of them plucked the other's dog hair, and the other cut off the Ninth Prince's braid. That's how the two became enemies and couldn't stand each other.

Yinzhen felt that the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince lacked ambition.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince felt that Yinzhen was hypocritical and fawned over the Crown Prince, and they disliked each other.

And sure enough, we ran into each other on the road. Although we didn't actually fight.

At the time, Yinzhen was in a bad mood because of the "deep mother-son relationship" between Consort De and the Fourteenth Prince, and the two of them happened to be in the line of fire, so he scolded them.

It's really not a big deal.

It was just that Yinzhen was acting like an older brother, asking his younger brothers why they weren't studying and were out having fun. Both the Ninth and Tenth Princes had been spoiled since childhood, so naturally they were not convinced.

The Ninth Prince thought to himself: Who do you think you are? I don't need you to tell me what to do. Even my mother doesn't care about me.

The Tenth Prince thought to himself: You stinky-footed monster, what's it to you? Have you taken care of your own affairs? You're taking your bad mood out on me, but I'm not one to be trifled with.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince thought this in their hearts, and that's what they said, albeit in a slightly more tactful way.

The nickname "Stinky Feet Monster" wasn't said aloud in private, but the meaning was clear.

The Fourth Prince could naturally tell what was going on. He thought to himself that his two younger brothers were not only unambitious, but also dared to talk badly about him, their older brother. He thought, "If I don't teach them a lesson today, they won't know who the older brother is."

In addition, the Fourth Prince had long disliked the Ninth Prince's arrogant demeanor, always acting like he was the boss of the world, and when he caused trouble, Consort Yi and the Fifth Prince would always come to his rescue.

He just has a loving mother!

snort!

[Fourth Master, Fourth Master, why don't you just say you're jealous? ╮(─▽─)╭]

And then...

New grudges plus old grievances

They almost came to blows, but luckily the Eighth Prince Yinzhi arrived in time, otherwise these guys would definitely have been forced to kneel in Chengqian Palace.

In fact, the Fourth Prince had already grabbed the Ninth Prince by the collar, and the Tenth Prince had already kicked the Fourth Prince. Then, like a calf, the Tenth Prince knocked the Fourth Prince over and successfully rescued his good brother, the Ninth Prince.

The Tenth Prince was feeling quite pleased with himself.

The Ninth Prince is also giving his capable younger brother a "you're awesome" look.

Fourth Master was knocked over, and he was both ashamed and angry. Being knocked over by his younger brother and all that...

Just then, the understanding Eighth Prince arrived, temporarily resolving the conflict between the two sides.

The Fourth Prince turned and left. The Ninth and Tenth Princes gave a light "humph" to his back. After all, the Eighth Prince was there. The two of them knew that they would not have a good ending if they continued to act recklessly. The Emperor usually would not side with them, so they obediently followed the Eighth Prince.

After tidying themselves up a bit, the group went to the eldest prince's residence to ask for wine.

The above scene then occurred.
