As Kangxi led his people on an eastern tour, the court and the harem became much quieter.
Yinzhen still lives in the Prince's Residence and goes to Yuqing Palace to do his work every day.
"Fourth Prince, you have been specifically asked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay and help with his mission. When the Emperor returns from his Eastern Tour, he will surely reward you."
Su Peisheng followed the fantasy with a smile, "Will they let you build a mansion directly outside?"
Yinzhen glared at him and said, "The Emperor has many sons. It's a great opportunity for me to show my ability by being valued by my second brother and being able to stay here to do this job. I just want to do my job well now, and I don't want to think about anything else."
Su Peisheng laughed and slapped his mouth, "It was all my fault for saying that."
The two were walking and talking when suddenly a woman jumped out from the corner door, scaring both the master and the servant.
"How dare you not greet the Fourth Prince when you see him."
Su Peisheng scolded angrily after coming back to his senses.
Yinzhen looked at the person with a stern face, and after a while he recognized that it was Uya.
This was the first time in fifteen years that he had truly faced this woman. Although they would meet at various banquets on weekdays, they had never looked at each other face to face like this.
For a moment, Yinzhen was a little stunned.
"I am the Fourth Prince's mother. Do I have to bow when I see my own child?"
At this time, Su Peisheng also recognized Concubine Wuya. He was a little at a loss for a moment. He looked at his master worriedly, and then drove away all the palace people who were passing by to watch the fun.
"Yinzhen, you are my child, born after countless hardships. I don't believe you don't know this."
Faced with Uya's questioning, Yinzhen remained silent.
"But you've never come to visit me, and you never greet me every time we meet. You're truly unfilial."
Yinzhen's expression suddenly changed, and Su Peisheng's face also darkened with fear.
"Concubine Wuya, the Fourth Prince is no longer under your name. Moreover, you should still be under house arrest. If the Queen Mother or Concubine Tong knew that you sneaked out, it might not be a good idea."
Wu Ya raised her hand and slapped Su Peisheng. "No matter what I do, a slave like you cannot question me. Even if he is registered under someone else's name, he is my child, and no one can change that."
Yinzhen silently endured Uya's accusations. He felt no guilt, only annoyance.
It's not that he hadn't thought about visiting Uya secretly, but ever since he was old enough to understand, he had heard about Uya's past actions, including the fact that he used his fourteenth brother to win favor last year.
After all these things happened, he felt very ashamed of the woman's behavior.
He didn't even want to have any involvement or connection with this woman, but he knew in his heart that he was her child after all, and this was an unbreakable blood relationship.
So, every time he thought about it, he felt very painful.
Talking about this matter face to face with Uya at this time, he only felt more embarrassed.
"Yinzhen, I don't want to ask you for anything, I just really miss you. In the past, because you were raised by the Empress Dowager, even if I missed you, I didn't dare to go see you. Later, you went to the prince's residence, and I was watched by the Emperor and Tong Jia, so naturally I didn't dare to go to you."
"Yinzhen, it's a rare opportunity for Mother to see you. Mother just wants to have a good chat with you."
Yinzhen finally relaxed his heart, "If you miss me, you can come to my residence."
He couldn't call out "Mother", but it was good that they could talk to each other.
Wu Ya smiled and nodded, then reached out and touched Yin Zhen's face. "That's great! You've grown up so quickly. Mother made you a dress. When you come out of Yuqing Palace, Mother will give it to you here, okay?"
Yinzhen nodded, "Okay."
Seeing that Yinzhen was easy to talk to, Uya said a few nice words until the expression on Yinzhen's face was no longer so tense. Then she left, looking back every few steps.
After watching her leave, Yinzhen took Su Peisheng and walked towards Yuqing Palace.
Su Peisheng was a little worried.
"Fourth Prince, the Emperor once said that Concubine Wuya is not allowed to have any contact with you and Prince Chun. Now that you are meeting secretly like this, if the Emperor knew about it, he would be angry."
Yinzhen also felt very complicated.
On the one hand, he longed for his mother's love, but on the other hand, he was really worried that this matter would anger the emperor.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, I have only experienced family love from Ukuma Ma, and the feelings of others are indifferent.
If I even anger the Emperor now, what will I do in the future?
But although I was worried, I was still very happy to hear my mother say that she missed me.
At least someone still cares about him.
Inside Yuqing Palace, Yinreng frowned as he looked outside the palace. "Why hasn't Xiaosi come yet?"
He Yuzhu stepped forward hesitantly and said, "Just now, a palace maid came to report that the Fourth Prince and Consort Wuya met near the Prince's residence and seemed to have talked for a long time."
Yinreng frowned, "Isn't Concubine Wuya under house arrest? How did she get out?"
He Yuzhu shook his head. "I don't know either. I think it was Concubine Tong from Chengqian Palace who didn't expect her to dare to run away. Do you want me to go to Chengqian Palace and pass on a message?"
Yinreng fiddled with the jade ring on his hand and shook his head. "No need. After all, they are mother and son. Let them meet if they want. Xiao Si is already a big boy now. He should be able to handle things."
Seeing this, He Yuzhu didn't say anything more.
So Yinzhen was distracted the whole day and didn't hear Yinreng calling him several times. Later, Su Peisheng was so scared that he kept poking Yinzhen's arm.
"What happened to Xiao Si today? What happened?"
Yinreng asked with concern, thinking it was because of the matter of Concubine Uya, but since Yinzhen didn't bring it up, he didn't know how to say it directly.
Yinzhen shook his head awkwardly, then said with some guilt, "Brother, I'm feeling a little unwell today. Can I go back early?"
Yinreng smiled and nodded, "Of course, Xiaosi, if you feel unwell, go back and rest. You don't need to come tomorrow."
Yinzhen scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking that he was just going to see his mother tonight, and would come early tomorrow to do his job, and nothing would go wrong.
But when he got the clothes made for him by Concubine Wuya, he felt extremely cold in his heart.
"This dress is too big for me."
Yinzhen said these words with difficulty. He didn't think that if his mother was thinking about him, she would make such ill-fitting clothes.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a little bit bigger. I think the clothes in my hand will be fine even if they are worn by my brother.
Moreover, the stitching of the clothes looked very rough, and it seemed that they were completed in a hurry. They were not as good as what Su Peisheng was wearing.
If someone said that these were clothes made for him by his mother who missed him, he really wouldn't dare to agree.
