Faka calmed himself down before cupping his hands and smiling, "This servant has booked a table at a restaurant outside the palace and would like to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to come out of the palace for a chat. I wonder if His Highness would do me the honor?"
Yinreng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I still need to go back to see the children. If Lord Faka has nothing else to do, then let's meet again another day."
Seeing that Yinreng was about to leave, Faka hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this servant came for that good-for-nothing daughter, Yuhe."
The smile on Yinreng's face slowly faded. He casually fiddled with the thumb ring, showing no intention of speaking.
Faka forced himself to say, "Yuhe is the eldest daughter of the family. Although she has been raised well since childhood, she is somewhat arrogant. I heard that she contradicted the Crown Princess as soon as she entered Yuqing Palace, and even caught the eye of the Empress Dowager, which led Aunt Su Ma to personally teach her manners."
Yinreng remained silent. Seeing that the other party did not respond, Faka had no choice but to take out the small box he had prepared in advance and respectfully hand it over.
"This servant will not plead for Yuhe, but only asks that the Crown Princess teach her manners well so that she can serve His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as she has learned them."
Yinreng looked at Faka with a half-smile.
It has to be admitted that this kid is quite capable to have defeated Aling'a and won the title.
These words alone are extremely well-spoken, and they make one feel comfortable.
"That's fine. I will pass on your filial piety to the Crown Princess. As for when Niohuru will be able to complete her studies, that depends on her own mind."
Seeing this, Faka hurriedly nodded, and only after watching Yinreng completely disappear from sight did he straighten up and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He has taken care of Consort Wenxi and her son for so many years, but he has not taken care of Yuhe, who has a headache.
The mother and son were able to thrive in Kangxi's harem, so how come their own daughter caused so much trouble as soon as she entered Yuqing Palace?
Faka couldn't help but sigh.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
Just as Faka lifted his foot to walk out of the palace, he heard someone call him. He turned around and saw his daughter's dowry maid, Baizhi, cautiously peeking out from beside the stone lion.
"My lord, the princess asked me to deliver a letter to you."
Faka subconsciously looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before quickly opening the letter and reading it.
Upon seeing this, I felt all the blood rush to my head.
He hurriedly stuffed the letter into his sleeve, and in just a moment, he felt his forehead covered in sweat again.
"Go back and tell Yuhe to stay quietly in Yuqing Palace and not to get involved in the affairs of the young prince and the crown princess."
Good heavens! He had just delivered a box of house deeds, land deeds, and shops to the Crown Prince when his daughter asked him to spread rumors that the Crown Princess had killed the young prince's biological mother.
Faka was trembling with anger, feeling for the first time that his daughter had been raised so poorly.
Bai Zhi looked at Faka with some confusion, "My lord, the princess has been bullied as soon as she entered Yuqing Palace. Aren't you going to stand up for her?"
Faka wanted to slap Bai Zhi, but since this was the palace, he naturally dared not make any rash moves.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Yuqing Palace is the Crown Prince's residence. Yuhe will be a concubine there. How could she be bullied? Do you mean that the Crown Princess will bully her? Tell Yuhe to behave herself and never go against the Crown Princess."
Bai Zhi was stunned.
Is this still the same Lord Faka, the head of the Niohuru clan, whom she knows?
Seeing Bai Zhi's dazed expression, Faka became even angrier, and almost pointed at her forehead to instruct her: "Did you remember what I just said? You must persuade the princess to listen to the Crown Princess's teachings and never talk back to the Crown Princess just because you are from the Niohuru clan."
Bai Zhi was unwilling, "But the Crown Princess is only of noble birth..."
With a sharp 'smack', Bai Zhi covered her cheek in surprise, then knelt down in fear, saying, 'This servant misspoke.'
Faka was so angry that his face turned red. He no longer cared about the rules of the palace and kicked her hard in the shoulder.
"No wonder Miss has been causing trouble everywhere since she entered the palace. It turns out it was you, you wicked servant, who were sowing discord."
Bai Zhi kept explaining, but Faka showed no interest in listening. He pointed at her and warned, "If you can't persuade the princess at all times, I won't hesitate to find an opportunity to replace you."
"My lord..." Bai Zhi looked at the angry Faka and left, and finally collapsed to the ground in fear.
Meanwhile, inside Yuqing Palace, a young eunuch rushed in, whispered a few words in He Yuzhu's ear, and then left.
Yinreng was reading a book on a reclining chair in his study when He Yuzhu approached. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"
"Your Highness, a young eunuch just saw Lord Faka interacting with Baizhi, a maidservant of Princess Niohuru."
He Yuzhu then relayed everything the eunuch had overheard, and Yinreng was somewhat surprised by Faka's decisiveness.
After a moment, he laughed and said, "As expected of the head of a prominent family, he does have some brains."
He then glanced at the box on the desk and said, "Send the box to the Crown Princess and tell her that it is a gift from Faka to her."
He Yuzhu accepted the order, grabbed the box, and ran off happily.
Inside the courtyard at dusk, Niohuru Yuhe felt like he was about to go crazy after learning of Faka's teachings.
How could her father allow her to obey Guarjia? Who did she think she was, to be expected to submit to the Niohuru family's legitimate daughter?
Growing angrier by the thought, Yuhe coldly glanced at Baizhi, who was trembling with fear, and demanded, "Tell me, what else did Father say?"
Bai Zhi knelt down with a thud. "My lord just wants you to be obedient and to advise you more often. If I am disobedient, he will find someone to replace me."
When Yuhe heard this, she felt dizzy and even more angry than when Sumalagu taught her manners.
"Since Father doesn't care whether I live or die, I shouldn't talk to Mother about Yuqing Palace anymore."
Bai Zhi burst into tears, "What are we going to do? If we really lose contact with our families, how can we possibly have a good life in the palace?"
Yuhe sat there blankly for a while, then suddenly said, "What's there to be afraid of? Aunt is still a Noble Consort in the palace."
Mentioning Consort Wenxi, Yuhe suddenly felt her fighting spirit reignite.
Now that there is no empress in the harem, my aunt has the highest rank.
My aunt only got to where she is because of the support of the Niohuru family, so how could she stand idly by while I suffer?
After thinking for a moment, Yuhe gritted her teeth and said, "Find a chance to send a message to my aunt and ask her to find a way to lift my confinement."
Both being from the Niohuru clan, the other party owes her current status to her father, so asking her for help is simply a way of repaying the Niohuru family.
Seeing that her mistress had regained her fighting spirit, Bai Zhi was also filled with hope. "Don't worry, Princess, I will find a way to send a message right away."
