Chapter 447 Ascension



——

A month later, the Third Master was discovered for secretly raising an army and someone reported the evidence to Emperor Kangxi.

When Emperor Kangxi saw the evidence, he sent people to investigate and discovered all kinds of despicable deeds of his. He was furious and directly ordered that his title of prince be stripped away and he be imprisoned in the Third Master's mansion for life.

In October of the same year, Emperor Kangxi issued an abdication edict, passing the throne to the crown prince.

In mid-October, the coronation ceremony was held and the country's name was changed to "Yongzheng".

After the coronation ceremony, the Fourth Master returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Now he lives in the Qianqing Palace. After Emperor Kangxi issued the abdication edict, he moved to Changchun Garden.

In his words, he was tired of living in the palace and wanted to change his environment.

"Su Peisheng, go to the mansion and tell Fu Jin to pack up properly and move into the palace tomorrow."

The affairs of the harem still have to be managed by the wife.

"Yes, I will go right away."

"Wait a moment, wait a moment, bring the concubine to the palace quietly."

He really missed Mianmian after not seeing her for the past two days.

Su Peisheng: “…”

The emperor cannot leave his concubine for even a moment. It seems that this concubine's honor and favor is unique in this palace.

"Yes~"

Wen Mianmian was asking people to pack up. She had a lot of things here, and it would take several days to move all of them into the palace.

"Handle these porcelains carefully. They are gifts from the master to the master. Go get some thick cotton cloth and wrap them up to prevent them from being accidentally broken."

"And these cloths, these materials are all excellent materials, you must not dirty them."

"And these..." The voices in Zizhu Courtyard were almost all filled with the instructions of Shancha, Shannai and the others.

Wen Mianmian looked outside for a while, then felt a little cold and went back into the house.

"There are so many things here. I didn't know there were so many until I cleaned them up." Wen Mianmian was shocked when she saw the yard full of things.

You won’t know what this is until you clean it up, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

"These things are usually delivered here and put into the warehouse after being reviewed by the master. The master seldom goes to the warehouse, so naturally he doesn't know how many things are in the warehouse. These are only a part of them. There are still many things in the warehouse that have not been taken out." Nanny Song said with a smile.

"So, I have quite a bit of wealth." Wen Mianmian laughed and joked to herself.

"Of course not. Master, whenever he has something good, he brings it to you. If the storehouse couldn't hold so much, I'm afraid there would be even more."

"That's right, the master is just about to move the storehouse in the mansion to my place." Thinking of the things that happened to the Fourth Master before, Wen Mianmian's eyes were full of smiles.

Just then, Su Peisheng came over. Wen Mianmian quickly spoke when she saw him: "Eunuch Su, why are you back? Master...how is the emperor?"

Wen Mianmian was still a little uncomfortable with this sudden change of tone.

"Replying to Concubine, the Emperor is doing well. This time, I came out on the Emperor's orders to bring Concubine into the palace."

"Entering the palace at this time?" A hint of surprise flashed across Wen Mianmian's eyes.

"Yes, but quietly. Don't worry, Concubine, I have arranged for the slave to escape. No one else will find out except our own people."

When he came out, he had already arranged everything so that no one would notice anything unusual.

Wen Mianmian glanced at Nanny Song, who smiled and nodded at her.

Wen Mianmian retracted her gaze and looked at Eunuch Su and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su, please wait for me for a moment."

She went into the inner room and took something out, "Let's go."

Nanny Song and Shancha are in charge of the things here, so Wen Mianmian is naturally not worried.

Nanny Song quickly got a cloak for her master to wear. It was a bit cold outside and she couldn't catch a cold.

After finishing all these, Wen Mianmian followed Su Peisheng out of the back door of the mansion. A carriage had been prepared here, and Wen Mianmian stepped directly onto the low stool.

The carriage began to sway slowly as it moved forward. When Wen Mianmian arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she felt inexplicably a little nervous.

She looked up at the plaque of the Qianqing Palace, took a deep breath and walked in.

At this time, the Fourth Master was sitting on the dragon throne reviewing memorials. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Mianmian walking towards him.

He immediately put down the memorial in his hand and stood up. When he saw her, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Wen Mianmian saw the Fourth Master, she looked at him without blinking. The Fourth Master today was very different from before. He was now wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his aura seemed to be even stronger.

But the gentle eyes that looked at her had not changed at all, he was still her Fourth Master.

Wen Mianmian walked to a place two meters away from her with a smile on her face, then knelt down to salute.

"I am Wen, paying my respects to the Emperor." She had not yet been canonized, so naturally she could not call herself a concubine.

The Fourth Master came over quickly and helped her up from the ground.

His tone couldn't help but complain, and he looked into her beautiful eyes and said, "Mianmian, what are you doing? Could it be that after not seeing you for two days, you've become so distant with me?"

"No, but we still have to follow the rules and etiquette. Now that my master is the emperor, I am happy, but at the same time I don't want to make things too difficult for him."

After all, the palace is different from the mansion. The rules in the palace are very strict. She was actually nervous. She had lived comfortably in the mansion for so many years, and now she was about to move to the palace. Naturally, Wen Mianmian was a little uncomfortable.

The Fourth Master took her hand and whispered, "Silly girl, from now on when it's just the two of us you'll be the same as before."

"Yeah~" Wen Mianmian nodded.

"Come, I'll show you something." The Fourth Master pulled her towards the desk.

Wen Mianmian didn't know what the Fourth Master wanted her to see, so she didn't ask and followed him to the desk.

The Fourth Master took the rice paper beside him and unfolded it. There was a map on it. It could be said that this was a map of the imperial palace, with the locations and names of the large and small palaces marked on it.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Wen Mianmian seemed to have guessed something.

"This is a map of the palaces in the palace." The Fourth Master pointed to a palace and said, "Mianmian, this is where you will live from now on, the Yikun Palace. It's very close to the Qianqing Palace, so it will be very convenient for me to visit you or for you to come to me."

"But I don't like this name very much. I plan to name this place 'Guanju Palace'. Guanguanjujiu, on the island in the river. A beautiful lady, a gentleman's ideal match."

When the Fourth Master recited this poem, he looked at Mianmian with deep affection in his eyes.

Wen Mianmian was burned by the Fourth Master's scorching gaze. She didn't expect that he would read a love poem to her.

Although it's a bit greasy, I feel inexplicably happy in my heart.
