She had barely made up her mind when she changed her mind.
She excitedly put down her teacup and ordered, "Granny Liu, bring Liu Hong here."
Granny Liu frowned, somewhat unwillingly saying, "Master, if there's anything you need, you can simply tell this old servant to do it."
"You can't do it! Only Liu Hong can handle this."
In her excitement, the princess consort didn't notice that Liu Mama's face turned pale instantly because of her negative words.
For a particularly loyal servant, a master's denial of her abilities means that she has lost her value to the master.
The implication was that she was no longer useful to her master, a useless servant...
Hehe, Liu Mama felt a sudden surge of fear when she thought of the fate of those servants who had no use to her.
However, she believed more in her heart that she was useful, but her master had not noticed. She made up her mind and decided to make her presence known more often in front of the pillar so that her master would feel that she was useful, just like when her master had not yet married into the mansion or had just married into the Prince's mansion and was valued.
So her expression improved, and she began to carry out the Princess Consort's instructions.
After Liu Hong entered with Granny Liu, she respectfully greeted the Fujin according to etiquette.
.
He had only gone halfway through the ceremony when his anxious wife dismissed him from the formalities.
Then, before Liu Hong could even stand still, she heard the Princess Consort's instructions.
Listening to the Princess Consort's instructions, Liu Hong and Granny Liu's eyes lit up more and more, and they kept praising the Princess Consort for being so capable!
"Remember, make sure the main wife is cleared of any involvement in this matter, and let those people do the work," the Fujin instructed in her final words.
"Yes!" Liu Hong accepted the order and left, leaving only Liu Mama and Fujin, who were looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
The eunuch whom Emperor Kangxi had placed by the side of young Hongxuan immediately reported the details of the incident to the palace through his secret guards after the conflict occurred.
However, the Fourth Prince's residence was still some distance from the palace. Just as the Princess Consort and her servants finished discussing their conspiracy and were about to put it into action, the secret guards managed to relay the message to the palace through the eunuchs.
At this moment, in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi had finally finished reviewing all the memorials and was preparing to have a couple of sips of tea before taking a stroll in the inner palace.
"Hmm?" Kangxi noticed the commotion outside the warm pavilion and immediately ordered, "Li Dequan, go and see what's going on?"
"Yes, sir!"
A short while later, Li Dequan returned. "My lord, a message has come from Prince Hongxuan."
"Oh!" Since he happened to be free, Emperor Kangxi directly instructed the eunuch who delivered the message to reply.
He sat upright on the dragon throne, drinking tea. When the eunuch who brought the message entered, he immediately put the teacup back on the table.
Past experience told him that when listening to Hongxuan's news, it was best not to drink tea, water, or eat anything, otherwise, he would encounter something very embarrassing.
After bowing and exchanging greetings, the eunuch immediately reported everything that had happened in the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
When she heard that Princess Wuya had been rejected by Hongxuan's mother, she took her anger out on little Hongxuan and almost threw him to the ground.
If the little guy hadn't been quick-witted and grabbed the sleeve, and then been swiftly taken away by the nanny, perhaps...
"This is outrageous!"
Emperor Kangxi was furious. His beloved grandson had been so blatantly harmed. That Lady Uya deserved to die!
Li Dequan was also angry. The little prince was such a cute child, and he almost lost his life.
"My lord, you must do justice for Prince Hongxuan!" Li Dequan prayed silently in his heart.
Is it true that like master, like servant? The key point that both master and servant were paying attention to was that Xiao Hongxuan was almost thrown down, rather than that he punched and kicked his stepmother twice.
Enraged by Lady Uya's audacity, Emperor Kangxi turned his anger towards her, demanding, "What's wrong with the fourth prince? His sons have been bullied and harmed time and time again, and yet..."
“It was Consort De’s niece who was sent to the Prince’s residence by Her Majesty’s approval,” Li Dequan interjected respectfully.
Hmph, don't think that just because you, of the Uya clan, have Consort De as your backer, you can bully Prince Hongxuan.
Emperor Kangxi choked upon hearing this. Consort De?
!
That Wuya thought that with Consort De as her backer, she acted recklessly. The fourth prince would probably give Consort De's niece some face out of filial piety.
Thinking about it this way, Kangxi's expression turned even uglier.
After harboring resentment towards the Fourth Prince, she then turned her anger towards Consort De, Uya: Consort De is truly blind and heartless, choosing such a woman!
In fact, he didn't even consider that he and Consort De were actually quite the same. The Hesheli clan woman he chose even used smallpox to harm Hongxuan!
I've decided that I need to properly educate the fourth child.
"Li Dequan, go and fetch the fourth brother."
"Yes, sir!" Li Dequan bowed respectfully and withdrew.
At this moment, the tension in his heart lessened considerably, because by being right beside his master, he could basically understand his master's thoughts from every move and subtle change in expression.
That Lady Wuya who bullied Prince Hongxuan, hehe, she's caught the master's eye, she'll definitely not get away with it.
Then, in the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch continued to report the complete news to Emperor Kangxi.
Just as Li Dequan went to find the Fourth Prince, various forces were at work in the Fourth Prince's mansion.
Soon, with the help of various parties, news of the conflict between the Fourth Prince and Lady Wuya in the Peach Garden spread out of the Fourth Prince's residence.
The women in the Prince's mansion's backyard did a lot of work, because this matter also served as an excuse to strike at Peach Courtyard and the favored Fourth Prince.
You see, if the accusation of beating his stepmother were pinned on the Fourth Prince, then even if he was still favored by the Fourth Prince, his tainted reputation would make it even more difficult for him to compete for the heir apparent (the future throne).
Furthermore, she managed to strike at Guarjia clan, greatly diminishing the master's impression of her. It was all because she hadn't properly raised her son!
As for what Guarjia had said to Uya about how only the Fourth Prince and his wife were qualified to raise a son, everyone said, "Oh, they outwardly agree with that too."
But that's not what she really thought. After all, the Fourth Prince was raised by you, Lady Guarjia. You should know that it's you, Lady Guarjia, who's in contact with the child every day, not the Fourth Prince and his wife.
The head of the household, who constantly sent people to monitor the activities inside and outside the mansion, quickly received this news.
Of course, the first person in the main courtyard to receive the news was Liu Hong, who was instigating the whole thing.
"What's making you so happy?" Granny Liu couldn't help but ask Liu Hong, who was not as composed as usual.
Liu Hong shared this good news without any hesitation.
"That's wonderful!" Granny Liu was also very happy to hear this.
"Granny, I will go and tell the Princess Consort this good news."
"Wait!" Granny Liu immediately stopped Liu Hong and said shamelessly, "I'll go tell the Fujin about this. Liu Hong, you continue with your other matters."
By the time the last word was uttered, Granny Liu had already walked several steps away.
Liu Hong suddenly felt that Liu Mama's eagerness to do things was a bit strange, and she was different from the Liu Mama she knew.
