Consort De, of the Uya clan, looked completely relaxed. She had just heard about the jade bracelet bestowed by His Majesty. She knew that many women in the harem wanted this jade bracelet, but His Majesty had not given any to any of them. Today, however, he gave it to her.
Consort De, of the Uya clan, wore an arrogant expression, indicating that she still held a certain position in the Emperor's heart.
Taking the thirteenth prince in to raise wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. With both princes here, it not only demonstrates her virtue, but it also encourages His Majesty to visit her more often at Yonghe Palace.
Moreover, the thirteenth prince grew up under her care, which will be helpful to her fourteenth son in the future.
Anyway, Consort Zhangjia can't possibly overtake her. She's tried so many times but failed to win His Majesty's heart. It seems His Majesty doesn't care about this consort.
Not to mention the harem, when other concubines heard the news, those who lacked composure all looked rather unpleasant. Even the high-ranking concubines couldn't bring themselves to smile upon hearing the news.
The angrier one was Consort Yi of Yikun Palace, who felt she was the most innocent.
That vile woman, Consort De, of the Uya clan, is a jinx to her; she even brings misfortune to the son she gave birth to.
They were favored by Emperor Kangxi around the same time. Consort Yi always looked down on others because of her superior status. If there was one person she looked down on the most in the harem, it was Consort De, of the Uya clan.
A lowly palace maid, a bondservant, actually climbed to the position of a concubine and even sat on equal footing with her.
The Emperor actually confined her to her quarters because of the Fourth Prince.
All she did was order someone to kill a dog.
A puppy is nothing compared to his precious son.
Her son is the Emperor's own flesh and blood.
Is his own flesh and blood less important than a dog in Chengqian Palace?
Thinking of this, Consort Yi was filled with hatred, and the handkerchief in her hand was already unrecognizable.
The Emperor actually went to Yonghe Palace to see that despicable wretch.
She had sent many people to invite His Majesty over the past few days, but His Majesty had not come even once. Instead, he sent word that she should stay in Yikun Palace and reflect on her actions.
No matter how much Consort Yi sulked?
Since the deed has already been done, it is inevitable that Consort De, Uya, will be released from confinement.
No matter how much turmoil occurs in the harem, it has no effect on Chengqian Palace at present.
Because everyone knew Kangxi's intentions, he still cared a lot about this son.
Otherwise, why would they have altered his imperial genealogy, thus directly slapping Consort De in the face?
Peaceful days always pass quickly. The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, has been enjoying his recovery very comfortably lately. No one dares to make him uncomfortable.
Emperor Kangxi would occasionally send some gifts to show that he had not forgotten this son.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was already able to get out of bed and walk on his own, but he was still a little weak. He would easily break out in a cold sweat after walking for a while, and would also feel dizzy and lightheaded.
To fully recover, you'll need to rest for a while.
Just as the saying goes.
Illness comes like a landslide, but leaves like a thread being pulled.
We're currently in the process of refining the silk, and it's visibly getting better every day.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, lay on a rocking chair in the courtyard. The sun was shining brightly outside today, the temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. He was covered with a white fox fur, and a gentle breeze occasionally blew by.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, lay on the rocking chair with his eyes half-closed. The rocking chair swayed up and down with his movements, giving off a leisurely vibe.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had never had such a leisurely life in his life. It wasn't that he didn't want to watch anything, but his health simply wouldn't allow it.
Reading a few more words made my eyes dizzy, my head throbbed, and I felt lightheaded.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, resigned himself to his fate, put down his book, and lay down in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
This was also instructed by the imperial physician; getting more sun exposure will help him recover faster, and he shouldn't stay cooped up in the room all the time.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, also asked the imperial physician when he could go to the Imperial Study to study.
The imperial physician was unusually straightforward, simply saying that with proper care, he would be fully recovered in less than half a month.
The current situation is simply due to severe physical depletion; with some replenishment over the next two weeks, it shouldn't be a major problem.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was still not satisfied. He needed to relax for more than half a month, and he didn't know how much of his studies he had fallen behind.
But she also knew that all she could do now was to obey, as her dizzy and lightheaded body couldn't do anything else.
Apart from Su Peisheng, all the other servants and maids in the courtyard had been sent out to do other things. Fourth Prince Yinzhen had never liked having too many people serving him, so it did not arouse any suspicion.
Dofu was circling under a tree, having just discovered a swarm of ants and now searching for their burrow.
Duofu's big eyes were intently fixed on a group of ants on a leaf. The ants were lined up in a long queue, with the pastries he had just finished eating on their heads.
The pastry must have been a small piece that fell off when it was bitten, and then it fell to the ground.
Now that they've been carried away by these ants, Duofu has been cooped up in his room for many days.
Watching a few ants move house is quite interesting now.
Especially since he was a dog, Duofu twitched his nose, intending to sniff around and see if he could find out where the ants' home was.
I walked around the tree and smelled it, hoping to find an ant hole.
Duofu didn't feel annoyed; instead, he watched with even more interest.
Looking at the dozen or so ants, each carrying food larger than its own body, some were leftover pastries, others were the legs of some unknown animals.
Duofu observed it carefully and felt that the leg might be that of a cricket, with sharp edges, or it might be that of a grasshopper.
Duofu lay on one side, occasionally moving its claws to pluck some leaves and block the ants' path.
Sometimes, they would be overly kind and sweep the path ahead to make it easier for these poor ants to get home.
I kept looking and looking.
Duofu's eyes were getting tired of watching, and finally the ants started climbing the tree.
Duofu immediately perked up. He had just looked through the numbers as well, but couldn't find a place to hide.
My eyes followed the large ant from the beginning until we reached the second branch in the middle of the tree, where the ants began to disappear one by one.
Duofu got up and changed direction, and he could see a small hole on the branch, a little bigger than a soybean. You couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.
There were leaves blocking the light, so it was impossible to see the hole clearly.
After Duofu finished searching for the ant hole, he hopped over and pounced on the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was lying on the rocking chair.
With a leap, she landed on the Fourth Prince's lap with a soft thud.
Duofu skillfully climbed up, and many of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's clothes were spun out by Duofu's climbing.
Clothes with the thread cut are generally considered unusable, but despite this, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was not unhappy at all.
As a prince, he really doesn't lack clothes. It's just a few pieces of clothing, isn't it?
He has plenty.
