Consort Tongjia, seeing that Emperor Kangxi seemed lost in thought and receiving no response after calling his name several times, walked directly to him and asked, "Cousin?"
Kangxi then came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong, cousin?"
"Cousin, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times!"
"Oh, I was thinking what else in my storeroom would be suitable for snow."
Here's what you'll do: when you have time, go take a look and see if there's anything Xue likes, feel free to take it.
"Take whatever you fancy!" Kangxi decided to spend money to avoid disaster.
"Okay, thank you, cousin!" Consort Tongjia replied with a smile.
When Kangxi saw that Consort Tongjia agreed so readily, he wondered if his cousin had been waiting for him to say that!
But then I thought again, probably not, why would my cousin scheme against him!
When the Crown Prince heard that He Xue wanted to leave the palace, he was extremely anxious. If He Xue left the palace, it would definitely be inconvenient for him to see her. Fortunately, his father, the Emperor, did not agree to He Xue leaving the palace.
Finally, the Crown Prince reluctantly left Chengqian Palace with Kangxi, it seemed he could only come to see Hexue again tomorrow.
The following day, after the concubines paid their respects to Consort Tongjia, they all dispersed. Now that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager preferred quiet, they no longer needed to pay their respects every day; they only needed to do so on the first and fifteenth of each month.
Consort Tongjia didn't want to face a room full of beautiful women, so after paying her respects, she sent them all back to their respective palaces. Only Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and Consort Yi stayed behind.
Although Consort Hui did not give up the idea of having the eldest prince and the crown prince compete for the throne, this did not prevent her from cultivating a good relationship with Consort Tongjia.
As for Consort Rong, she had no intention of letting the Third Prince compete for that position. She had many children, but only the Third Prince and Rongxian survived. Rongxian had already married far away to Mongolia, and it was unknown whether they would ever have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.
Now she only has the Third Prince by her side, but he is rather frail and only likes to read. She only hopes that the Third Prince will be safe and sound.
As for who becomes the new emperor, she doesn't care. However, she thinks the crown prince is more likely, since he is the heir apparent. She hopes that after the emperor passes away, the crown prince will allow her to leave the palace with the third prince, considering that she raised him for a period of time.
Consort Yi had no interest in that position. With the Fifth Prince being raised by the Empress Dowager, she had completely given up on that idea. As for the Ninth Prince, he was still young. Right now, she only wanted to be a favored concubine.
As for whether Xiao Jiu will have any ideas when she grows up, she doesn't care.
She already had a good relationship with Consort Tongjia, and Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi liked to play with He Xue whenever they had free time. She also liked He Xue quite a bit, so her relationship with Consort Tongjia became even closer.
Consort Yi heard yesterday that Consort De had been demoted to Noble Lady and was even carried away from Chengqian Palace. She wanted to find out what happened, but the gates of Yonghe Palace were tightly closed. It seemed that Noble Lady Wuya was under house arrest, so she couldn't find out anything.
So I've been lingering in Chengqian Palace all day, hoping to find out about the first poem.
"Sister Consort Yi, how could Consort Wuya have been demoted by His Majesty?" Consort Yi asked, her eyes brimming with excitement.
"You'd better watch your smile! You can't stop grinning like that!" Consort Hui teased.
"I'm happy that she's been demoted. How dare she, a mere palace maid, dream of becoming a concubine? She's just daydreaming." Consort Yi looked down on Noble Lady Wuya and usually relied on underhanded methods to win favor.
Consort Tongjia didn't hide anything and told everyone what happened yesterday.
"Hmph! His Majesty is so soft-hearted. If it were me, I would have thrown her into the Cold Palace!" Consort Yi said angrily after hearing this.
"I never expected that Consort Wuya would be so lucky, she's pregnant again!" said Consort Rong, who hadn't spoken until now.
"She is now a noble lady, but I wonder who will give her child to when the time comes!" Consort Hui asked.
“In my opinion, let Consort Wuya raise them herself! Otherwise, what if Consort Wuya wants to go back after they grow up?” Consort Yi said.
Consort Tongjia remained silent, but because of Yinzhen's matter, it was unlikely that anyone would be willing to take over, no matter who it was entrusted to. Consort Wuya was not grateful at all and would even think that someone had stolen her child.
"The Fourth Prince is also pitiful, to have such a birth mother. Fortunately, he has the Noble Consort!" Consort Rong truly felt sorry for the Fourth Prince.
"That's right, I don't know what His Majesty was thinking. Why didn't he just put the Fourth Prince's child under the name of Consort Yi?" Consort Yi complained.
Consort Tongjia thought that after yesterday, Emperor Kangxi would change the Fourth Prince's imperial genealogy to her name, but Emperor Kangxi did not react at all. Was the Tongjia clan so feared by Emperor Kangxi?
Seeing that Consort Tongjia remained silent, Consort Rong quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, how are things going with Princess Xue?"
Upon hearing Consort Rong mention He Xue, Consort Yi also remembered that He Xue was injured. "Yes, Consort Yi, how is He Xue?"
Today, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi were still saying they wanted to leave the palace to find He Xue! I didn't tell them He Xue had entered the palace, otherwise they would have come long ago!
"It's nothing serious! She was just hit and injured! No bones were broken!" Consort Tongjia said.
"His Majesty is really something, actually going to hurt the Fourth Prince for such a woman!"
"Your Highness, I have some excellent medicine. I'll have someone send it over shortly!" Consort Yi said.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble! I'll thank you on behalf of He Xue!" Consort Tongjia said with a smile.
"Sister, you're being too polite with me!" Consort Yi waved her hand and said. She even wanted He Xue to be her daughter-in-law! Only He Xue could keep Xiao Jiu in check. She had spoiled Xiao Jiu rotten, and she needed to find a wife who could control her in the future, so she had her eye on He Xue.
