Something really happened in Fuzhou.
The river bandits colluded with the local gentry, and the remnants of the previous dynasty also jumped around, causing a great disturbance.
In terms of force, Tong Ruita and his men could easily send those people to meet their maker with a few cannon shots.
But the bandits weren't stupid.
They mingled with ordinary people and often spent their time on the water.
Cannons can bombard land, but they don't have much effect on water.
The prefect of Fuzhou showed signs of colluding with the river bandits, and even though the government lent boats to Tong Ruita and his men, they dared not use them.
Who knows if they'll do something malicious.
“Wouldn’t sending Yarjiang’a there cause trouble? Although my son and he don’t get along, there have only recently been signs of reconciliation. But I still wouldn’t send him to his death,” Yinreng said.
Kangxi said, "Baoqing can be in Fuzhou, so why can't Yarjianga go? Although it will be a bit troublesome, the main trouble is in deciding who to appoint after the disloyal officials are executed. Yarjianga is quite capable in this regard, so it would be good to have him go and assist. Once Fuzhou is pacified and stable, Prince Jian can rightfully bestow upon him the title of Heir Apparent."
"Your Majesty is wise and far-sighted; I admire you," Yinreng said, flattering Kangxi.
After receiving the imperial decree to go to Fuzhou, Yarjianga happily kissed his wife several times.
“The Crown Prince is actually a very good person!” Yarjianga said.
His wife was from the Guarjia clan and was a cousin of Shi Xiuzhu. They had a good relationship since childhood, so she naturally hoped that Yarjiang A'a's relationship with the Crown Prince would not be too bad.
"When you return, I must go to Yuqing Palace to pay my respects to the Crown Princess and express my gratitude," said Ya'erjiang Afujin with a smile.
Yarjiang said, "Consort Tong should also go and thank her."
"I know. They are all kind people, so please don't worry, Your Highness," said Yarjiang Afujin.
Unexpectedly, this reduced one of the imperial clan's adversaries for Yinreng. Tong Wanyan simply smiled and let it go when she found out.
The current situation has changed a lot compared to history, and how things go from here on out depends entirely on human effort.
Regardless of success or failure, just do your best.
Even if the crown prince is deposed again, we are not afraid.
Tong Wanyan had a very stable mindset and always had a smiling face when she met anyone.
Hongsheng clung to her, and whenever Tong Wanyan went out, three chubby little ones of different sizes would always follow behind her.
They were all exquisitely beautiful, and everyone who saw them was delighted, except for those with malicious intentions.
Everyone has a love for beauty, especially beauty free from scheming and intrigue. Such an open and carefree state of mind is extremely rare in the imperial harem.
The days passed easily, and during the period from spring to summer, Tana was often taken out of the palace by Yinzhen to play at the estate.
Thankfully, the sun wasn't too strong, otherwise I would have turned from a white dough ball into a black charcoal ball.
Even so, she looked nothing special on her own, but when she stood next to Hongzhao and Hongsheng, she was noticeably darker.
When early summer arrived, Tana was confined to her quarters and not allowed to go out, so she studied with Hongzhao.
Hongzhao learned whatever she wanted to learn, without any difference because she was a girl.
Emperor Kangxi also meant this: unless Tana disliked it, the tutors who taught Hongzhao should treat Tana the same as everyone else.
The future Princess of the Qing Dynasty cannot be merely skilled in needlework and lack strategic thinking.
In July, another major event occurred between Kangxi and Yinreng.
Suo'etu, who was gradually alienated by Yinreng, made a foolish move in an attempt to show his loyalty to Yinreng.
He instructed the Ministry of Rites to report to Emperor Kangxi the arrangements for this year's sacrificial ceremony at the Fengxian Hall, and also submitted a memorial requesting that Yinreng's prayer mat be placed inside the threshold of the main hall.
When Emperor Kangxi saw the memorial, he was furious. Liang Jiugong, who was serving nearby, was so frightened that he shrank back and did not dare to utter a word.
