As expected, within a few days, news came from the capital that the Fourth Prince was forced to divorce his fourth wife.
Because the Fourth Prince and his wife were members of the royal family, it was impossible for them to be imprisoned. In the end, the emperor issued an edict that the Fourth Concubine could not only take her own dowry with her and leave the mansion, but also take 20% of the Fourth Prince's property, which was compensation for her.
The emperor was greatly embarrassed by this. He even issued an imperial decree to reprimand the Fourth Prince and his wife, and ordered them to study in the palace for a month. On the surface, it was said that they should study hard, but the real meaning is clear to everyone.
As soon as Yinzhen came back, he was so happy that he kept saying, "It's right. Let the fourth brother still show off in front of me. How dare he have the nerve to do that?"
Baoer was speechless "Okay, just be happy for a while, we are all fathers now"
Why is this guy always happy when he sees the Fourth Prince in trouble, even though he is happy for him too?
Baoer thought for a moment and said, "This is probably the only prince who has been divorced during the reign of the Emperor. The Emperor must be furious."
When Yinzhen heard this, he thought to himself that this was not necessarily the case. He had received news a long time ago that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were also getting divorced recently, but it had not been made public yet.
I just don't know if this was planned by that vixen prince.
I think the Emperor will still be upset at that time, because he looked down on me before, and now he looks at his two sons, which he is proud of.
Humph, my own life is still good and my life is happy. As long as I ignore those male vixens out there, I will be the happiest.
But he didn't want to tell Baoer about this, otherwise Baoer might feel sorry for the vixen.
Even though Bao'er and the prince haven't seen each other much in the past few years, the thoughtful prince always brings his daughter to Bao'er whenever she enters the palace.
The pretext is that the two sisters are cultivating their relationship. And outside the palace, even though Baoer is married, her charm remains undiminished, and having a fourteenth brother in the palace is not enough.
Outside the palace, a new suitor appeared at some point. He seemed to be Fu Cheng, the sixth son of Fu Cha Ma Qi.
The Fucha family is a powerful clan, and Fucha Ma Qi currently serves as the Minister of War and concurrently as a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace. It's no surprise that he's a formidable rival. Although Bao'er doesn't have any feelings towards him right now, she still has to be wary of him ascending to power.
Yinzhen remembered that it was at a banquet that Fucha Fucheng accidentally met Baoer and fell in love with her at first sight. Although Baoer had no interest in him, Yinzhen was still very wary of him and would not let Baoer touch him if possible. Even if they did touch, he would not let them be alone together. He knew that Fucheng was not bad in any way.
At this moment, he changed the subject and pretended to complain, "Baoer, do you think I'm old and ugly?"
"No, why do you say that?" She looked him up and down. "It's still fresh and tender."
Yin'er was delighted, "I knew you were attracted by my color, Bao'er."
"The Emperor's birthday will be coming soon. How should we prepare the gifts?" Baoer asked. It has been several years, but Baoer is still not familiar with the ancient custom of gift-giving.
Yinzhen obviously knew this too. "Don't worry, we will be ready."
Baoer then said, "I remember hearing about a kind of food overseas. Corn and sweet potatoes are crops that are drought-resistant, cold-resistant, and highly adaptable. They're widely grown, especially in mountainous areas and barren lands, and they have very high yields. Do you think we should look for them and present them to the Emperor on his birthday? If we promote their large-scale planting, it will surely please the Emperor, and maybe even earn you a higher rank."
Baoer had known about the widespread cultivation of potatoes since she came to this world, but she had never seen sweet potatoes or corn.
My mouth starts watering when I think of all kinds of delicious foods made with corn, such as roasted sweet potatoes, boiled corn, and popcorn.
Yinzhen was surprised and said, "Really? Then I will send someone to find him immediately, but the time is too short now, it will definitely be too late. Let's wait until next year, then I will help you make a contribution again."
"I only say there is a possibility, I can't guarantee it."
Yinzhen said, "I understand. I will also prepare gifts in advance. If I can't find it, I will have a backup."
"That's good, let's go to sleep."
"Um"
March 18, the 40th year of the Kangxi reign
The Emperor's birthday is coming, and all the officials of the court, including civil and military officials, concubines, princes and nobles will be present to celebrate the Emperor's birthday.
Baoer and his family were fortunate enough to enter the palace, and Baoer and his family brought Yaner to the palace.
Baoer and his friends had just sat down when Twelve, Thirteen and Fourteen arrived. A few years had passed, and the two boys had grown up. When they stood together, they were a head taller than Baoer.
"Sister-in-law Jiu is here"
"Hey, why don't you talk about Tenth Sister-in-law?" Yin asked dissatisfiedly.
A few people laughed dryly and said, "Who made Brother Jiu in the front?"
Yin? glared at a few people in dissatisfaction. They always called her Sister-in-law Jiu, which was not tactful at all.
Baoer smiled dignifiedly, "Twelfth brother, thirteenth brother, and fourteenth brother are here early too."
Then he said, "I heard that the Emperor has granted marriage to my twelfth brother and the daughter of the Fucha family. Congratulations. Did the princess of the Fucha family enter the palace today?"
The twelfth prince smiled when he heard this and said shyly, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. Shuyun is here today, but she is with my father-in-law and mother-in-law." As he spoke, he looked at the seats of the ministers on the side.
Bao Er also said that he looked at it and saw a pretty girl. She was dignified and graceful. "It seems that your future wife will be a good one. Twelve Brother is blessed."
"Nine Sister Liao likes it"
"Sister Baoer, why don't you pay attention to me?" The Fourteenth Prince felt a little sad when he saw that Baoer was only talking to the Twelfth Brother and ignoring him.
Thirteen pulled Fourteen aside and whispered, "Fourteenth brother, don't be so obvious, this is our sister-in-law."
