Yinzhen stared at Kangxi with wide eyes. Did he have tinnitus just now? Why did he hear the emperor say that the queen mother wanted to find a wife for him?

"Your Majesty, what did you just say? Why is the Empress Dowager looking for a wife for her son? He's only ten years old!"

When Yinxiang heard this inside, he ran out immediately.

"Father Emperor, Fourth Brother, what are you talking about? Is Fourth Brother going to marry Fourth Sister-in-law? Who is it? Does your son recognize her?"

Seeing that Yinxiang had a gossipy look in his eyes, Kangxi ruthlessly asked Liang Jiugong to take him to the back again.

You should study hard at such a young age. Why are you asking about these things? You are not a good student!

Yinxiang curled his lips in dissatisfaction. He just wanted to ask why the emperor didn't let him listen?

But before leaving, he winked at Yinzhen, which made Yinzhen blush.

"Your Empress is not in good health. She is afraid that her health will deteriorate, so she wants to choose a wife for you during the Qingming Festival."

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi with a pale face, so does this mean that the Empress Dowager's health is getting worse?

"Father, I want to go back and take care of my mother."

"Go ahead. If you find someone you like, you can tell your mother, or you can tell me. I will send someone to find out the information."

"Yes, son, I understand."

Yinzhen hurried back to Chengqian Palace and just happened to hear what the Imperial Noble Consort and the nanny were saying.

"Don't bother, Ma'am. I know my health condition and I'm afraid I only have a year or two left. I really can't bear to see this."

"Your Highness, you will be fine. I have already sent someone to inform the Master and his wife. They said they will find a miracle doctor among the people to treat you.

You are still young, and the Fourth Prince has not grown up yet. He still needs your protection. If you pass away suddenly, how do you expect the Fourth Prince to accept it?

Please listen to my advice and take good care of her. Let the four concubines handle the palace affairs. Don't worry too much.

Didn't you say you wanted to find a wife for the Fourth Prince? If you're still ill, how can you choose the right person to be his wife?

There are so many noble ladies in the Eight Banners that it is impossible for you to pick the right one all at once, not to mention that the Fourth Prince must like her.

So, just listen to me and let go of the palace power for now. When you get better, the palace power will return to you without you having to say anything.

Even for the sake of the Fourth Prince, you should take good care of your health. You don't know that I have noticed that the Fourth Prince has lost a lot of weight recently."

There was heartache and sadness in the nanny's eyes. The imperial concubine's health was indeed getting worse.

Especially since Empress Xiaozhuang passed away suddenly more than a month ago, as the Imperial Noble Consort, she had to drag her sick body to handle her funeral affairs.

After finally getting through the funeral, she fell ill again.

It was all her fault today. If she hadn't told the Imperial Noble Consort about the matter of Yuqing Palace, Yinzhen wouldn't have heard it.

She really didn't expect that Yinzhen would abandon the Imperial Noble Consort and go to Yuqing Palace after hearing this. In his heart, the prince seemed to have a higher status than the Imperial Noble Consort.

Although she could understand Yinzhen's behavior, she felt that it was not worthy for him to be a royal concubine.

But the Imperial Noble Consort took a fancy to Yinzhen, so she could only follow the Imperial Noble Consort's lead and say nice things about Yinzhen.

Now the Imperial Noble Consort's health is getting worse. Instead of thinking about curing her illness quickly, she is actually thinking about paving the way for Yinzhen. Alas!

It is said that a loving mother often spoils her son. The Imperial Noble Consort obviously forgot that Yinzhen favored Uya five years ago.

If Uya had not passed away, his heart would have been won over to Yonghe Palace long ago.

"I know what you mean, but my body is already in this condition, there's no need to struggle in vain.

Matron, Xiao Si is my son, the prince of Chengqian Palace. I hope you can respect and protect him.

I know that you are a little dissatisfied with him because of what happened before, but he is the master. Even if he really did something wrong, the emperor will punish him.

You were impulsive today. The prince's affairs have nothing to do with us. He behaved so disrespectfully at this time and deserves to be disliked by the emperor.

It's a pity for Xiao Si. If he hadn't run so fast, I wouldn't have agreed to let him go to Yuqing Palace.

The prince was arrogant and looked down on his illegitimate brothers. If Xiao Si suddenly said these words to him, he would suspect that Xiao Si had ulterior motives.

If I am not mistaken, the prince should have dealt with those two princesses. He is really as cruel and ruthless as his biological mother.

After Xiao Si comes back, don't let him go to Yuqing Palace. Tell him to study hard and strive to have a place in front of the emperor.

This palace will take advantage of the Qingming Festival to find a good wife for him. This wife should not be too outstanding, otherwise it will make the prince jealous. "

"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of the Fourth Prince."

"By the way, I heard that Fei Yanggu's daughter is very talented and very respectful of rules at such a young age. I want to take a look at her."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away. When you feel better, I will send someone to notify Madam Juelu and ask her to bring the princess into the palace for a visit."

"That's great. I'm tired, so Madam, please go and have a rest."

"I am not tired. I will keep you here."

The imperial concubine was indeed tired and fell asleep in just a few minutes. Seeing her fall asleep, the nanny carefully retreated.

"This servant pays respects to the Fourth Prince. When did you return? The Empress just fell asleep. Why don't you go back to the study and read?"

"I understand, Mammy. I have something to ask you. Please come with me."

"yes."

It was only after arriving at the study that Yinzhen asked the doubts in his mind.

"Mammy, is the Empress Dowager's health really that bad? The Emperor just told me that the Empress Dowager is planning to find a wife for me. I'm only ten years old, that's too early."

Hearing his words, tears welled up in Mammy's eyes.

"The Empress...she is indeed very ill, and she is indeed looking for a wife for you."

Yinzhen suddenly became quiet, and the nanny stopped talking when she saw this.

She had a feeling that Yinzhen had heard everything she and the Imperial Noble Consort had said just now, and he was just trying to verify it with her.

"Mammy, how much longer does the Empress have?"

"The imperial physician said a year at most."

"I know. Which legitimate daughter has the Empress Dowager taken a fancy to? I'll go and see her when the time comes. If she's suitable, we'll decide on her."

The nanny looked at Yinzhen in surprise. She thought Yinzhen would refuse. After all, a hasty choice is not the best.

"Don't be surprised, Madam. I believe the Empress Dowager will choose the most suitable wife for me."

"Yes, I understand."

When the imperial concubine woke up and learned of Yinzhen's thoughts, she smiled helplessly.

"That child wanted me to leave without any regrets, but I have many regrets in my heart, and I'm afraid I can't fulfill his wish."

Three days later, the Imperial Noble Consort summoned Lady Gioro and Princess Ulanara to Chengqian Palace.
