Chapter 106 Reason
After the young eunuch left, Tong Jia's eyes were fixed on Yinzhen who was trying to sneak away.
"Yinzhen."
At this time, Yinzhen was about to slip out to find the prince to explain, but he was pinned to the spot by Tong Jia's sinister voice behind him.
He froze, and seeing that his attempt to sneak away had failed, he had no choice but to turn around with despair. After meeting Tong Jia's dangerous gaze, he immediately put on a flattering look, "Mother~"
"Tell me, what are you talking about with the prince? He has even come to me."
This was a rare event. The prince had always avoided her. How could he take the initiative to care about her one day? Tong Jia didn't believe there was no trick.
But now it seems that the trick must have been done by his good son.
It's funny to say that the reason why the prince avoided her like the plague was because she cared about him too much.
The prince was still young at that time. She thought that her cousin cared so much about his son. In order to show off in front of her cousin, she would ask about the prince's well-being whenever she had the chance.
But no one knew what the prince was thinking. The more she cared about him, the more he avoided her, as if she was a monster and wanted to harm him.
Tong Jia swore that she absolutely had no such idea.
Later, when she saw that the prince was really resisting, she stopped.
Later, she had Yinzhen, so naturally she cared less about the prince.
But she didn't expect Yinzhen to be so close to the prince.
But it's also good this way, letting Yinzhen follow the prince, and becoming a good brother who assists the prince when he grows up, just like Kangxi and Prince Gong today.
Tong Jia never doubted the possibility that the prince would not succeed to the throne.
After all, Kangxi's doting attitude towards the prince was unique.
So she never had any other thoughts.
But she didn't know that the Crown Prince had inherited his father Khan's suspicious nature. Like a dark mushroom, he was wondering in his heart whether she could not get close to him, so he asked the Fourth Prince to come instead.
The young Yinreng had no mother to teach him, and Kangxi could not take care of everything at once. In the deep palace where people could be eaten, tall sharp thorns stood up around him, and anyone who got close to him would be stabbed, except Kangxi.
But fortunately, over the years, Yinreng has learned to put away his thorns.
But at that time, this made Yinzhen cry and suffer.
She chased the prince around every day and shared the same hatred with him, but the prince not only did not appreciate it, but was also very picky about it.
But only such a persistent spirit could move Yinreng and make him think that even if Yinzhen approached him deliberately, he would accept Yinzhen.
After all, Yinreng was too lonely.
How much he envied Yinzhi for having Yinzhi following him.
Tong Jia leaned back on the couch and drank a sip of tea, then calmly watched Yinzhen, who was sweating profusely from guilt, waiting for his explanation.
"Mother~"
"Come on, stop it. You're already an adult, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat in front of your mother. Hurry up and tell me."
Yinzhen had no choice but to confess the truth.
When Tong Jia heard that Yinzhen lied about her poor health in order to play with Yinsi, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yinsi who was silent over there.
Is Yinsi so charming?
In fact, this is not the case. Yinzhen follows the prince every day, and now it is time for him to have a younger brother to follow him and call him brother.
Coincidentally, at this time Kangxi sent Yinsi to Chengqian Palace.
Yinzhen was waiting to teach Yinsi well before taking Yinsi to see his second brother, the Crown Prince. He now has a younger brother too!
"My son knows he was wrong."
Yinzhen bowed his head and sincerely admitted his mistake to Tong Jia.
"Okay, mother doesn't blame you. But you have to explain it to your brother the Crown Prince tomorrow."
Hearing that Tong Jia had no intention of blaming him, Yinzhen instantly revived.
"Go now, son!"
Yinzhen ran away in a flash.
Tong Jia smiled helplessly.
Just at this time, Zichang came in with the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, this is Doctor Lin, the pediatric expert from the Imperial Hospital."
"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty."
"Please stand up, Doctor Lin. Please ask Doctor Lin to check on the Eighth Prince for me."
Doctor Lin stepped forward, observed Yinsi for a while, and talked to him for a few words before turning back to report to Tong Jia: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is fine."
"Then why does he always stutter when he speaks? I clearly remember that the Fourth Prince was no longer like this at his age."
"This..." Doctor Lin hesitated to speak.
"Doctor Lin, please tell me what you think!"
"Then I will make a bold guess. The Eighth Prince is like this now, probably because he doesn't communicate with others enough. You must know that when children first learn to speak, they are influenced by the people around them. So we often suggest that ladies communicate more with children, so that they can learn to speak faster."
"But if there is no one around to teach you, you naturally won't be able to learn. The Eighth Prince is like this now, I think it must be because of this reason."
"If Your Majesty wants to improve the Eighth Prince's stuttering, please communicate with him more and guide him to speak more."
After Doctor Lin left with a few words, Tong Jia's face was gloomy and she said nothing.
When Zichang came back in, she heard Tong Jia's voice, suppressing her anger: "You are so good, Concubine Hui! You actually take care of my prince like this!"
Concubine Hui, who was far away in the Forbidden City, yawned, having no idea that the good things she had done were about to be exposed.
Tong Jia was really angry to death.
How dare Concubine Hui treat Kangxi’s child like this!
After hearing what Imperial Physician Lin said, there was nothing left for Tong Jia to not understand. It was obvious that this was because Concubine Hui had not taken good care of her.
Tong Jia held Yinsi over and looked him in the eye. "Xiao Ba, can you talk to Tong E'niang?"
Yinsi sat quietly in Tong Jia's arms, staring with his round eyes, but did not say a word.
Seeing Yinsi like this, Tong Jia did not dare to force him and asked the wet nurse to carry him away.
She looked at Zichang and couldn't help feeling anxious. "Zichang, what do you think I should do?"
Zichang also frowned, "My queen, doesn't the Eighth Prince like Concubine Jin? Why don't you let Concubine Jin give it a try? From what I saw today, Concubine Jin seems to like the Eighth Prince very much, and I can't bear to see the Eighth Prince continue like this."
Hearing Zichang's proposal, Tong Jia frowned fiercely.
"No!" But thinking of how Xiao Ba was stuttering while trying to communicate with Yuying this morning, she hesitated again.
But in the end, she couldn't let go of her pride and said, "Wait a little longer, let Yinzhen try again when he comes back."
"If it still doesn't work, I'll ask Concubine Jin to come again."
Tong Jia rubbed her eyebrows and couldn't help blaming Concubine Hui again.
"Zichang, send someone to the palace to tell me what kind of life the Eighth Prince is living in the Yanxi Palace."
If Concubine Hui knew about it or even allowed it, she would never let it off easily!
