Liang Jiugong nervously led Li Jiashi and Cheng Jiashi to Yuqing Palace.
At this time, the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince were all in Yuqing Palace.
"Second Prince, the Eighth Prince is leaving the capital the day after tomorrow. Do you want to see him off?" the First Prince asked.
“Go, we’re brothers after all! And it’s probably going to be hard to see each other again!” the Crown Prince said.
“It’s a good thing for the Eighth Prince to go to Shengjing. Otherwise, he would be causing trouble all the time and might lose his life one day!” said the Third Prince.
"Third Brother is right, this is also a way for Father to protect him!" Fourth Prince felt that with Eighth Prince's ambition, he would definitely not give up easily.
Now that Kangxi has sent the Eighth Prince away from the capital, it is also to keep him away from the strife. As long as the Eighth Prince does not rebel, he will surely be able to spend his life peacefully in Shengjing.
The Crown Prince agreed with the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. Although he did not want to let the Eighth Prince off so easily, he felt that it would be more satisfying to let the Eighth Prince watch him ascend the throne and grow old with He Xue than to kill the Eighth Prince.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Liang has arrived!" He Zhu said anxiously.
"So what if Liang Jiugong is here? Why are you in such a hurry? Did he chase you away?" the eldest prince asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Liang came with men!"
The eldest prince's expression changed. "Who did you bring? The Imperial Guards?"
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince also looked at the Crown Prince with concern.
"Second Prince, what have you done now? Father Emperor isn't going to shut down Yuqing Palace again, is he?" the eldest prince asked suspiciously.
"Not the Imperial Guards, but two women!" He Zhu quickly said. [These two women are even more terrifying than the Imperial Guards! The Crown Princess is currently pregnant, and the Emperor is sending two women directly to the Crown Prince—the meaning is self-evident!]
I wonder how the Crown Prince will handle this. If he keeps him, it will be difficult to explain to the Crown Princess. If he doesn't keep him, it will be disobeying the imperial decree!
"A woman?" The eldest prince looked at the crown prince.
"Brother, you don't need to look at me like that. I don't know anything!" After saying that, the Crown Prince hurriedly went out. He had to deal with the person before He Xue found out.
The three princes followed him out.
He Zhu hurriedly chased after her, but before he could say anything, the Crown Princess already knew about it.
He Xue sized up the two people in front of her, Li Jia and Cheng Jia. Historically, these two were the Crown Prince's women. Li Jia was especially favored by the Crown Prince and gave birth to Hongxi, who was the first imperial grandson of Emperor Kangxi to be personally raised by Emperor Kangxi in the palace.
He Xue turned her gaze to Li Jia, who was wearing a scarlet cheongsam, with her hair styled in a small bun. She had delicate features and a more refined and elegant demeanor than Cheng Jia next to her.
Li Jia felt a little flustered under He Xue's gaze.
When she learned that she was coming to Yuqing Palace, she was very happy. Now that the Crown Princess was pregnant, it was her opportunity. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to give birth to a son or daughter, and then she would be able to establish herself firmly in Yuqing Palace.
But now the Crown Princess keeps looking her over. Is it because the Crown Princess is worried that she will steal the Crown Prince's favor?
Seeing that He Xue hadn't spoken, Liang Jiugong assumed that she was dissatisfied with Kangxi's arrangement, so he advised, "Crown Princess, His Majesty has instructed that you and the Crown Prince decide the ranks of these two!"
He Xue grew up in the palace, and Liang Jiugong had spent a considerable amount of time with her. He didn't want He Xue to harbor any resentment towards Kangxi because of the two concubines, as that wouldn't be a good thing for her.
