After all, among the princes who were granted the title of king.
The eldest brother, a veteran of many battles, has a distinguished military record and commands the Imperial Guard. The third brother is credited with compiling books, while the fourth brother has served in the Ministry of Revenue for many years and has made significant contributions to disaster relief.
In the end, it was the Fifth Prince whose foundation was too weak, so Emperor Kangxi still granted him the title of Prince.
The story of how Fourth Master, Hongyu, and Hongfang went to Zhejiang for disaster relief.
In this disaster relief effort, He Zhuo actually donated 100,000 taels of silver to buy grain and medicine, in exchange for Hong Fang's spot to go on the relief mission.
Actually, the disaster relief was mainly the responsibility of the Fourth Prince, with the eldest grandson Hongyu only participating incidentally. This was probably because Hongyu had given birth to the fourth generation of the imperial family, and also because it wouldn't look good for Kangxi if the eldest grandson remained idle. Therefore, Kangxi appointed Hongyu to accompany the disaster relief efforts, and because the Prince Zhi's residence had contributed funds, Kangxi also arranged for his grandson Hongfang to go along.
Leaving aside the matter of Fourth Master and Hongyu, Hezhuo encountered a minor but significant incident.
"Your Highness, a report has come from the Irgen Gioro Mansion that the Old Madam is seriously ill and requests that you return to see her."
He Zhuo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as his mother had seemed quite well when he delivered the festival gifts last month. However, He Zhuo dared not delay, as his mother was getting on in years, and there was always the possibility of something going wrong.
After packing some medicinal herbs and taking the young physician Liu from the manor with me, we set off.
Little did I know, this was a trap. My mother was indeed ill, but not to the point of being critical. The messenger deliberately spoke vaguely to mislead people.
What exactly are they up to?!
"Mother, you don't need to tell me, I will not agree."
"It's not about asking you to do anything, it's just about giving Nianjie the title of a princess." When the old lady saw that her daughter was unwilling, she closed her eyes and clutched her chest, pretending that she couldn't breathe.
The fourth sister chimed in, "Fifth sister, you've gone too far. Mother raised you; her kindness is immeasurable. It's just a little princess, what's the big deal? You..."
Her response was Khoja's death ray and the oppressive aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The fourth sister couldn't finish her sentence. The pressure from a Foundation Establishment cultivator was something she alone could not withstand. Even though He Zhuo only revealed one percent of it, it made her break out in a cold sweat and kneel down with a thud.
"Nichuhe, what are you doing?" The moment Fourth Sister knelt down, everyone in the room, including the old lady, was astonished.
He Zhuo then removed his oppressive aura, and Fourth Sister stood up shakily, her legs still trembling violently.
Seeing her like this, the old lady assumed that she was tired from taking care of her mother these past two days, and quickly offered her some words of concern and comfort.
He Zhuo watched their performance quietly, only handing them a cup of tea without saying a word.
The old lady comforted her eldest daughter for a couple of minutes, and when she was told that everything was alright, she turned around and saw her youngest daughter's calm eyes, which no longer held the gentleness of her former self.
However, she still continued to say what she wanted to say: "It's settled then. In a few days, Nian'er will be sent to the Prince's Mansion."
He Zhuohuo stood up abruptly, his eyes icy: "Mother, I'll say it again, I will absolutely not agree to this."
After saying this, He Zhuo left without looking back.
Ignoring her sister's slander behind her, it wasn't that she disdained to fight with her, nor was it that she would simply let her go; the key was that He Zhuo couldn't hold back any longer.
He Zhuo was already showing signs of going astray when he came, but upon hearing the bad news about his mother, he forcibly suppressed it and came to see her.
