There was a night-shining pearl the size of an egg in the box. It seemed that the other party had spent a lot of money on it.
Yinreng fiddled with it with great interest, and then asked He Yuzhu to put the thing near his pillow so that he could play with it at night.
Soon, a palace maid came in to report that Etu had arrived.
Yinreng was curious. Soetu rarely approached him directly, mainly because Kangxi did not allow him to do so, fearing that he would be led astray by the other party.
He was wondering what Soetu was here for, when he saw several guards coming in carrying two large boxes.
"Uncle, what are these?"
Yinreng walked forward curiously, and Soetu opened the two boxes himself.
One box was filled with silver ingots, and the other box was filled with a coral tree.
[Uncle is worthy of being an uncle, he even knows how to give money.]
Yinreng was very happy, "Uncle, you gave me so many silver ingots, it seems you are quite greedy."
Soetu's old face, which was waiting to be praised, suddenly turned red. He stammered for a long time but couldn't say a word.
He Yuzhu hurriedly drove out the other palace people in the bedroom and went to the outer hall to wait.
Suo Etu then whispered, "Your Highness, how can you say that? The Emperor hates corruption the most."
Yinreng waved his hand loudly, "Even if I don't tell you, do you think the Emperor won't know what happened today? Even if you secretly give me some banknotes, it's better than giving me these flashy things."
Yinreng was really speechless about Soetu's train of thought. No wonder he was starved to death by his father in his previous life. With this kind of brain... Alas, it's far worse than Sony's.
Suo Etu thought about it and felt that this made sense. He secretly thought to himself, I will give silver notes in the future, but secretly!
Yinreng had no idea what Soetu was thinking. After pointing at the silver ingot, he looked at the coral tree beside him and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle, what are you doing with this thing?"
Soetu was very proud and walked around the coral tree twice while introducing it excitedly.
"Coral isn't a rare thing, but a coral tree this large is extremely rare. The Emperor's birthday is coming soon. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives this to the Emperor, he will surely be pleased."
Yinreng didn't want to hit the old man, but when he thought of how clueless he was in his previous life, he couldn't help but say, "Even if I make a bowl of longevity noodles myself, it's better than this."
Suo Etu: ⊙▃⊙
That seems to be the case.
"But..." Longevity noodles are not worth much.
"Uncle."
Yinreng pulled Soetu to sit aside and called He Yuzhu in to serve tea.
"The Emperor and I are father and son. At least right now, the bond between us is stronger than that between ruler and subject. So there's no need for all this nonsense. As long as I'm filial to the Emperor, he'll be very happy."
Kangxi, who was outside the bedroom, felt warm in his heart when he heard these words.
His Baocheng, after living his life again, had such an understanding.
"But, the emperor is still the emperor after all. You only have this one father, but the emperor has many sons."
"Soetu!"
Kangxi roared into the room.
"What nonsense are you talking about to the prince?"
Soetu was so frightened by the roar that he fell off the stool. When he looked up and saw Kangxi's ashen face, he immediately rolled and crawled to his knees.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't say anything nonsense. I just..."
"Just what? Just trying to sow discord between me and the Crown Prince?"
Kangxi was furious and walked over to Yinreng and picked him up.
"I won't talk about my relationship with my other sons for now, but the relationship between Baocheng and I will always be that of father and son. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will exile you."
Suo Etu was so frightened that he dared not speak at all.
Kangxi glanced at the silver ingots and coral trees in the box and cursed, "Take all your junk back."
Liang Jiugong hurriedly called a few guards to carry the things out. Seeing this, Soetu did not dare to stay any longer. He kowtowed and ran out in a hurry.
[Ah, the Emperor's violent temper is truly terrifying. I think my uncle must be frightened to death.]
Kangxi was so angry that he blew his beard.
"Baocheng, stay away from Suo'etu in the future. He has bad intentions."
Yinreng hurriedly tried to appease Kangxi, "Your Majesty is not angry, it's just that Soetu is stupid, that's why he speaks and acts incoherently."
Kangxi agreed with this assessment.
"My uncle was thinking that the Emperor's birthday would be coming up soon. Since I don't have the Empress to help me, I was afraid I'd be left out when choosing a gift for you. That's why he rushed to send the coral tree. He also wanted to please the Emperor."
Yinreng jumped out of Kangxi's arms and poured the tea himself and handed it over.
"But my son has already made preparations. He doesn't care about the coral tree."
Kangxi was interested, "What gift did Baocheng prepare?"
Yinreng chuckled, "It's a secret."
Seeing this, Kangxi stopped asking questions and just waited for the answer on his birthday.
There was joy in the Qianqing Palace, but everyone in the Chengqian Palace had their own thoughts.
"My Lady."
In the main hall, Shushu poured tea for Tong Jia and comforted her.
"This servant thinks that the emperor has sent you a child."
Tong Jia was puzzled, "What does this mean?"
Shushu smiled and said, "With her current status as concubine Yi, she can't raise a child on her own. Although the emperor promised to restore her position after she gives birth, if she dies in childbirth, then the child will belong to you, right?"
Tong Jia's eyes widened instantly, as if she had never thought about the problem from this perspective before.
"You are the emperor's cousin, so how can there be such a deep hatred between you? Now that I have you taking care of Concubine Yi's pregnancy, it can be considered as giving both of us a way out. During this period, you must control your temper and make sure to take good care of Concubine Yi."
