Following Kangxi's roar, Liang Jiugong rushed forward with the palace servants and quickly pulled a palace maid out from behind a big tree.
Liang Jiugong held up the lamp and shone it on the palace maid's face, and it turned out to be Uya.
Kangxi was obviously stunned when he saw her face.
At this time, Uya was wearing the clothes of the lowest-ranking palace maid. Although there was no decoration on her body or head, her fair and beautiful face, illuminated by the moonlit lanterns, gave her a sense of elegance and refinement.
Even the sea of flowers behind her seems to be a backdrop for her purity. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy jumping out of the sea of flowers.
Kangxi was stunned for a moment. He always knew that Uya was beautiful, but at this moment, she was wearing the simplest clothes and could still be so gorgeous that it was really hard to take your eyes off her.
Yinreng only took one look at Kangxi and knew that the old man was on to something.
[Uya is truly capable. She's worthy of bearing so many children. Even after being banished to the Xinzheku, she still managed to sneak out and flirt with the Emperor. She's quite resourceful.]
Kangxi's mind, which had been wandering in space, suddenly came back to its senses.
He cleared his throat and looked at Wu Ya, who was kneeling before him, with a dignified look. "It's the dead of night. Why are you here instead of working in Xinzheku?"
Uya raised her head weakly, her big watery eyes looked at Kangxi lovingly, her voice gentle and sweet.
"I am here to pray for the Fourth Prince. May he grow up safe and healthy."
Kangxi's frown relaxed. After all, she was his biological mother, and he was still thinking about her.
[Oh, you have to choose a place to pray.]
Kangxi was choked by Yinreng's heartfelt words and asked, "Since we are praying for blessings, we can do it in the Xinzheku as well. Why do we have to come to the garden?"
Wu Ya explained calmly, "I heard that all things have spirits. This place has lush plants and vast seas of flowers. I think the spiritual energy is abundant, so I came here to pray."
Kangxi nodded, this made sense.
"Oh, if that's the case, then you need to go to Yuqing Palace to pray. The plants here pale in comparison to those in Yuqing Palace."
Kangxi: (⊙o⊙)…
Why is this kid so talkative?
Kangxi calmed down and looked at Uya, saying calmly, "As long as your heart is sincere, you can pray anywhere. There's no need to go to the garden. Go back first and avoid running around."
Uya did not give any explanation or struggle, but agreed obediently and gradually walked away under Kangxi's complicated gaze.
[It's over. The Emperor's soul has also gone with him.]
Kangxi: ┗|｀O′|┛
He calmed down and continued to appreciate the flowers holding Yinreng's hand, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor looked absent-minded.
Yinreng didn't say anything.
He had no grudge against the Uya family, although the fourth brother became the emperor in his previous life and his own ending was not very good.
But these have nothing to do with the Uya family.
After all, the fourth brother became the emperor by his own ability, and he could only say that... it was his own fault for ending up like that.
The father and son's flower-viewing experience ended in such a dull manner.
In the next few days, Kangxi was busy asking imperial physicians to treat Longxi. Almost all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were sent to Prince Chun's Mansion, but the results remained the same.
This result made Kangxi very regretful and anxious. Even the old ministers who attended the court could feel that Kangxi was unhappy.
The censors and inspectors who usually jumped around kept silent, fearing that they would be criticized by the sharp-tongued emperor.
But the ministers' honesty did not ease Kangxi's irritability. Apart from accompanying Yinreng on a daily basis, the place he visited most often was the Yiku Palace.
Especially after knowing that the fourth princess born to Guiren Guo would make great achievements in Mobei in the future, she felt more anticipation for the birth of this child.
Therefore, every time he came to the Yiku Palace, he would summon Concubine Guo in the main hall, and she would be rewarded constantly on weekdays. Even Concubine Yi was surprised at how much Kangxi valued Concubine Guo.
But no matter what, it is good for oneself if one's sisters are favored.
Concubine Yi was also very good at seizing opportunities. She could see how much Kangxi valued Concubine Guo's pregnancy, so after copying scriptures day and night, she took the opportunity to sleep with Concubine Guo in order to consolidate her position.
Before the end of the month, news spread that Concubine Yi was pregnant.
For a time, Yiku Palace became a place that everyone envied and coveted.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Liang Jiugong, go deliver the rewards to Concubine Guo and Concubine Yi. Pick out some good supplements, medicinal herbs, jewelry, etc., and give them as much as you can."
Kangxi finally breathed a sigh of relief after dealing with state affairs, and it was a happy thing to think that both Concubine Yi and her sister were pregnant.
Seeing that Kangxi was in a good mood, Liang Jiugong smiled too.
"I'll go right away."
"etc."
Kangxi called him, then glanced at Yinreng who was talking to He Yuzhu not far away, and asked in a low voice.
"What's happening with the Wuya clan recently?"
Liang Jiugong didn't understand why such a thing had to be said behind the prince's back, but since the emperor did so, he also answered in a low voice.
"As far as I know, Wuya still prays every day, but the location has changed from the garden to the Xinzheku."
Kangxi seemed to be lost in thought.
Was our meeting that day really a coincidence?
The words of Kangxi and Liang Jiugong naturally reached Yinreng's ears. He glanced at the old man quietly and immediately guessed what he was thinking, but just shook his head.
"He Yuzhu, what has Big Brother been busy with lately? Ever since he came back from Jiangnan, I've rarely seen him come to play with me."
"I heard that the eldest prince has been even more diligent in his martial arts training since returning from Jiangnan, and he's even more serious about his literary studies than before. I heard that Concubine Hui is incredibly happy."
"Oh? Boss, has your personality changed?"
He Yuzhu didn't know how to respond.
"Let's go to Chuxiu Palace to find big brother."
Inside Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Hui was extremely happy to see her eldest son who had just finished class. This kid really made her proud.
Not only did the emperor often give rewards to the brat, even his civil and military masters often praised him, and as a result, she, the mother, also held her head high in the harem, and it was no longer as chaotic as before.
"Mrs. Hui, has Big Brother finished class?"
The voice came before Yinreng entered the main hall.
Yinzhen jumped up from the stool and ran out, "Baocheng, why are you here?"
Looking at the tall and strong Baoqing, Yinreng felt that his trip to the south of the Yangtze River was not in vain.
"You've rarely come to see me since you went to Jiangnan, so I came to see what's going on."
As Yinreng entered the hall, all the servants in the hall knelt down and saluted, and Concubine Hui also stood up and nodded, which was considered a salute.
"I used to think that literary studies were useless. As long as you were good at martial arts, you would be invincible. But this trip to Jiangnan has changed my mind about scholars."
"What changed your mind?"
Yinreng was very curious.
Yinzhen sat down and said, "As expected of a learned man, he doesn't even bother to think through his lies. When he fooled my second uncle and me earlier, it was a piece of cake."
