After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Xiuning turned a corner and went directly to the Prince's Residence.
The Princes' Residence has been quite lively lately. As the princes have grown older, the addition of palace servants and other people around them has brought a lot of life to the residence.
When Xiuning arrived, Yinyi and Yinlu were arguing over a trivial matter.
During the time when Kangxi was away from the palace, Yinyi gathered a group of ministers who sought refuge with him.
The ministers were first handed over to Yinlu, who had been observing them for so long, before Yinyi took them over again, which resulted in a conflict between the two brothers.
The conflict was minor and had nothing to do with the brothers.
However, because it involved the previous dynasty, Yin Yi and Yin Lu had different approaches to the matter, and neither was willing to concede to the other, so they insisted on arguing it out.
Xiuning arrived at just the right time.
Yinlu pulled Xiuning over to judge, "Mother, do you think Third Brother is being reasonable?"
The son simply felt that the man had a pointed face and was not trustworthy.
As a result, the third brother simply abandoned the man, even though he was raised by his son. "Isn't this a slap in his face?"
Yin Yi: ……
Yin Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly. "You said it yourself, that person has ulterior motives. Keeping such a person around would only cause trouble. Wouldn't it be better to kick him out in advance?"
Yinlu was fuming. He snorted and thought to himself that his third brother thought he was stupid. No matter how bad the person was, after getting to know him for so long, what if the person retaliated by kicking him out?
Having voiced his concerns, Yinlu sighed, "Third Brother, perhaps we should proceed cautiously."
Why the rush? There are plenty of traitors among these ministers anyway.
Just like herding sheep, one is driving, and two are letting go; why make such a clear distinction?
Yin Yi paused, then looked at Yin Lu with a complicated expression. Before he could speak, Xiu Ning chuckled and took over the conversation, "Your third brother understands this principle perfectly well; he just wants to take the easy way out."
Yin Yi wasn't stupid; did he not understand that kicking someone for no reason would cause trouble? His purpose in doing this was to take this opportunity to find out the true thoughts of the people under his command.
The ministers who remained with him were also divided into different factions.
Yin Yi hadn't figured out many things before, mainly because Kangxi returned later, and he didn't dare to make too much of a fuss.
Scratching his head awkwardly, Yin Yi pursed his lips and said, "Your son knew he couldn't hide it from Mother."
My mother is so intelligent; she can think of things even without me saying them.
What terrifying strength!
It was only because the Emperor had the confidence to keep Mother by his side and pamper her that he dared to do so. If it were him, he wouldn't have dared to do that.
Yinyi did not deny his cowardice. In his opinion, his mother was more cunning than most men. He was not afraid of his brothers at all, but he felt a strange fear when facing his mother.
Later, Yinyi also concluded that it was entirely because he was captivated by his mother's personal charm. He understood his mother, which was why he dared not confront her directly.
After listening, Yinlu looked at this and that, and suddenly realized that he was the silliest one, in every sense of the word.
Exhausted and feeling both silly and mentally drained, Yinlu slumped on the couch, refusing to get up. He waved his hand, deciding never to get involved in such matters again. After all, his older brother and mother wouldn't abandon him, so why bother racking his brains? He wasn't a smart person anyway.
Xiu Ning's lips twitched, her expression speechless. It seemed that after this ordeal, Yin Lu was truly determined to continue his slacking off.
Xiuning let out a breath, not forgetting the purpose of her visit.
Xiuning waved to Yinyi and, without avoiding mentioning Yinlu, told Yinyi about the marriage she had discussed with Emperor Kangxi at the Qianqing Palace.
"The wedding date will not be postponed; the news will be released in a few days."
The Crown Prince is definitely not happy, so you should keep a low profile as much as possible recently.
"You'll have to wait several more years to move out of the palace, so be careful what you do."
Xiuning was afraid that Yinyi would get anxious, or that the boy might think he could figure out Kangxi's thoughts and then cause trouble, so she spoke up to remind him.
Yin Yi nodded, thinking of the Crown Prince's situation and comparing it to his own, "Second Brother Crown Prince is definitely going to be angry."
Hehe, getting married means having children. He hasn't forgotten the struggle between the Crown Prince and the First Prince for the rightful heir these past two years.
Unfortunately, neither of them was lucky. One had two daughters and was pregnant again, while the other had several miscarriages and had not been able to give birth to a child.
Touching his chin, Yin Yi thought that perhaps the eldest son would still fall to him.
Believe it or not, it's actually quite possible. It all depends on whether the Hesheli clan member whom the Crown Prince is about to marry can live up to expectations. Otherwise, the chances of Yinyi and his wife winning first place are very high.
After staying at the prince's residence for a while, when the time was almost up, Xiuning got up and returned to the palace.
By the way, before going back, Xiuning had Chunyu make a trip to Princess Hebi's residence.
After the New Year, Bu'er and Dai returned to the princess's residence. Xiu Ning brought some medicinal herbs with her, thinking of nourishing Bu'er and Dai's bodies.
This child has always developed slower than others since childhood. Now that he's grown up, his condition has improved a lot, but there are still some differences in his appearance.
Since it wasn't considered an illness, Xiuning couldn't have the imperial physicians constantly watching over her, so all she could do was have Bu'er and Dai drink more tonics to try and improve her health.
The tonics definitely have some effect, but they're not as miraculous as some people say.
Xiuning returned to Qixiang Palace first. About an incense stick's time later, Chunyu returned, bringing with her news that Princess Chunxi, the princess's concubine, was ill.
Chunxi is sick?!
"How did this child get sick? She's getting married and moving to Mongolia in May." Getting sick at this time is really bad.
Xiuning shook her head, thinking to herself that this child might be upset because of the arranged marriage.
Chunyu's expression was unpleasant. "She said that she went to chat with the princess once and came back late." Humph, is this their princess's fault?
"Is it related to Boer and Dai?"
Xiuning was shocked to learn that her younger daughter could be involved. She thought to herself, "The two of them are quite far apart in age. It can't be true."
Chunyu immediately repeated what she had heard from the princess.
"My lord, the news has spread throughout the princess's quarters. Our princess herself hasn't reacted much, but the others... their words haven't been very pleasant."
Hesitantly, Chunyu seemed to have encountered some difficult problem.
Xiuning frowned. "Find out where the information came from."
Chunxi is about to get married, so there's no reason for her to clash with the lineage of Qixiang Palace.
Besides, Ning Chuge is still in Khorchin, having just given birth to her youngest son.
For both reason and emotion, Chunxi would not offend them, because it was completely unnecessary. In fact, if Chunxi wanted to live well in Mongolia, she would have to please them in return, at least to gain Ningchuge's goodwill. The status of Khorchin in Mongolia was not something that could be easily replaced.
Upon hearing this, Chunyu nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Master. This servant has already sent people to secretly investigate. No matter who is behind this, this servant guarantees to find them out successfully."
snort!
Do you think anyone can offend Qixiang Palace?!
