Everyone in the palace knew how favored Li was at the time, but unfortunately she was too greedy for life and afraid of death, which led to her losing Yinzhen's favor and also gave her the opportunity to show her face in front of Yinzhen.
She was plain-looking to begin with, and it was only because of her surname, Nianhulu, that she entered Yinzhen's harem, so it was natural that she was not favored.
But she has an extraordinary destiny. There are rumors that she is destined to be a phoenix. Doesn't this mean that she will be able to sit in that position in the future?
With such rumors around, how could she be content with being ordinary?
Li was courting death, and she had kept a low profile since giving birth to Hongli, rarely appearing in public, in order to prevent them from focusing their attention on her and her son.
After Mu Sili entered the house, everyone's eyes fell on her. She thought she could continue to develop in a sneaky way and then reap the benefits, but she didn't expect that the other party was pregnant with twins!
Judging from the other party's favor, if she gave birth to a prince this time, all her plans would be in vain.
"Come here, ask the Fourth Prince to come over and tell him that this princess wants to see him. He must come no matter what."
"yes."
Hongli was very filial and listened to his mother the most. If she had not been worried that he would be harmed by Concubine Li, she would have hoped that he would get all the attention of Yinzhen.
After all, he was born with Yinzhen's permission, unlike others. In addition, Kangxi also valued him, so the position of crown prince would most likely fall on him in the future.
In the front yard, Hongli was earnestly completing the homework assigned by his teacher. He knew that he came from a humble background, so he wanted to work harder.
When Yinzhen sees the results of his hard work, he will definitely visit his mother more often in Weiranyuan.
Although my mother is not favored, if Amaduo visits her a few more times, her life in the mansion will be much better.
"This servant pays respects to the Fourth Prince. The princess invites you to the Weiran Courtyard, saying that she has something to discuss with you."
"Mother is looking for me? Do you know why she is looking for me?"
"I don't know, but the princess told me to let you go there no matter what. I saw that the princess looked a little serious."
Hongli thought that something had happened to Nianhulu, so he quickly dropped his lessons and went to Weiranyuan.
"Mother, are you okay? Something happened. Why are you in such a hurry to find your son?"
"It's okay, Hongli. Mother has something to tell you. Everyone else please leave."
"yes."
When only the mother and son were left in the room, Niuhulu expressed her worries.
"Hongli, I want to ask you, do you want to sit on the throne of the crown prince? I want to hear the truth."
Hongli didn't expect that she came to him to talk about this matter, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
"It was pure luck that I was able to give birth to you. You also know that I am not favored. If you don't make a name for yourself, I am afraid that I will have a hard time living.
Mother won’t talk about the distant future with you. Let’s just talk about the position of the crown prince. The prince only has three princes alive now.
Although you are the fourth child, you only have the third prince Hongshi standing in the way. If you want the throne, mother will definitely help you."
After thinking it over carefully, Hongli said that he wanted that position and he didn't want people to look down on him.
Although Hong Zhou was below him, Geng Gege was more favored than her own mother, and Hong Zhou's status was higher than hers.
Actually, he was the prince with the lowest birth in Prince Yong's mansion. Even though his mother was a bannerman, it could not change this fact.
"Mother, I'm going to tell you the truth. I want the throne of the crown prince. I don't want to be left behind."
Niuhulu was very pleased. It was worthy of her efforts to conceive a son, which made her satisfied.
It is not easy to become the crown prince. From now on, as long as he shows his talent, he will definitely be valued by Yinzhen.
So what if Mu Sili was a concubine, so what if she was pregnant? The child hadn't been born yet, and we didn't even know whether it was a boy or a girl. How could it compare to her own son?
As long as Hongli was valued by Yinzhen and made him feel that he had the possibility of becoming the crown prince, and with his own merits in taking care of him during his illness, Yinzhen would definitely let Hongli take the throne of the crown prince.
As for Hongshi and Hongzhou, one was spoiled by Concubine Li and became ignorant of the immensity of the world, while the other only knew how to play around. How could they compare to her Hongli?
"Okay, since you have this idea, then Mother will definitely help you realize your wish. Just remember, from now on, slowly display your talents."
"I understand, mother. Don't worry, I will live up to your expectations. But do you not need to worry about Qingzhu Courtyard?
Father dotes on Nian'er Niang. I heard she's pregnant with twins. Will it affect their sons?"
"Don't worry about the affairs of Qingzhu Courtyard. It's still a question whether Concubine Nian can give birth safely. You don't have to worry about it."
"Son understands. Then he goes back to the front yard to study."
"Go ahead."
As soon as Hongli left, Nianhulu pretended to be sick. She had to ask Yinzhen to come, otherwise how could she reveal Hongli's talent?
When Yinzhen learned that Niuhuru was ill, his first reaction was to ask the court doctor to visit her, while he stayed in Qingzhuyuan to accompany Mu Sili.
"Why, Your Highness, don't you want to go to Weiran Pavilion to see Nianhulu? I heard that she was so meritorious in tending to the sick that she became pregnant with the Fourth Prince.
In my opinion, even for the sake of that merit, you should go to Weiran Pavilion."
Mu Sili's expression showed a hint of watching the fun. Yinzhen had a hunch that something was wrong. Did she know something?
He had no feelings for Niohuru. If she were not a bannerman and had not served as a nurse to the sick, he would not have wanted to favor her.
However, since she favored him and gave birth to his son, Hongli, he was still willing to give her some respect.
"Then I'll go over and take a look. Don't run around. Stay in Qingzhu Courtyard and take care of your pregnancy. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I understand. Your Highness, please go ahead."
Yinzhen felt like he was being driven away by Mu Sili. She seemed to be eager for him to leave. There was a problem, definitely a problem!
"Master is gone."
Mu Sili watched Yinzhen leave the Qingzhu Courtyard before going back to rest, but she started complaining as soon as she entered the inner room.
"The prince is a man who knows how to repay kindness, but unfortunately he chose the wrong person to repay the kindness. It was clear that Geng and Niuhulu were both attending to the sick, so why did he only remember Niuhulu's contribution?
I'm afraid that Niuhulu's pretending to be sick today is directed at me. For the sake of the baby in my belly, I'd better close Qingzhuyuan.
Ruolan, from now on, Qingzhu Courtyard will not see any visitors, not even if the prince comes. This concubine has to think about the baby in her belly."
Outside the door, Ruolan looked at the closed door with difficulty. The concubine was making things too difficult for her.
The prince has come back, and I haven't had time to report to him. Why are you complaining about the prince in here?
Now that the prince has heard all those words, there is nothing I can do. You’d better wish yourself well!
Yinzhen's forehead was throbbing, and as expected, he knew that something bad was going to happen.
