Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

As the footsteps approached, Concubine De stepped over the high threshold and came in, and said sternly to the Fourteenth Prince who was still kneeling on the ground, "Speak now, I want to hear what nonsense you, this evil creature, have to say!"

The Fourteenth Prince thought that Concubine De came to help him out, but he didn't expect that Concubine De would scold him. He said aggrievedly, "My son came to pay his respects to my mother, but my mother scolded me without listening to the whole story. My son is really dissatisfied."

Concubine De sneered, "Why are you dissatisfied? When your father was alive, you had to listen to his teachings. Now that he is gone, your elder brother is like a father, so you should listen to your fourth brother's teachings. Why are you dissatisfied?"

The Fourteenth Prince was speechless, and he could not treat Concubine De with a rude attitude. He could only lower his head and remain silent, offering silent resistance.

Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince had been 'obedient' for the time being, Concubine De looked at Yongzheng and Prince Yi who did not understand the situation, and said in annoyance, "The Fourteenth Prince has been spoiled by me. When the late emperor was alive, I was not so anxious. Now it is time for the Fourteenth Prince to understand the situation himself."

Prince Yi didn't know what his adoptive mother was up to, but he really didn't want to see his fourth brother and mother fall out. Now that Concubine De was willing to get close to his fourth brother, Prince Yi consciously began to smooth things over, "Don't worry, Royal Mother. My brother is my fourteenth brother's biological brother. How can I let my fourteenth brother be wronged?"

De Fei wiped her eyes and said, "I know the emperor will definitely consider me and the fourteenth brother in his heart, but the emperor is a role model for the people of the world. How can I make things difficult for the emperor because of the fourteenth brother's affairs?"

Before Yongzheng could react, Concubine De actually stood on his side and scolded the Fourteenth Prince. Yongzheng felt that he had not woken up yet and was still dreaming, otherwise why would Concubine De not protect the Fourteenth Prince?

Prince Yi sensed his fourth brother's trance and called softly, "Royal brother, Royal brother."

Yongzheng finally came back to his senses. Seeing Prince Yi's worried eyes, he shook his head gently to indicate that he was fine. Then he met Concubine De's anxious eyes and said, "As my thirteenth brother said, I am the fourteenth brother's biological brother and I will not let him down."

Because of Defei's attitude at this time, Yongzheng was willing to temporarily give up his plan to deal with the Fourteenth Prince and continue to maintain the relationship between mother and son.

Defei felt Yongzheng's avoidance, and thought of Yixiu's persuasion yesterday. She looked at the Fourteenth Old Man, who was even showing his rebelliousness, and gritted her teeth, "Fourteenth Old Man relies on the Emperor and me. He is so ignorant of advance and retreat. Sooner or later, he will cause a disaster. This matter must not be tolerated!"

When the Fourteenth Prince heard this, he suddenly raised his head, knelt to the side of Concubine De, grabbed Concubine De's sleeve, and said in disbelief, "Mother!"

Prince Yi saw that Yongzheng had no intention of stopping him, so he could only speak up to interrupt the cold atmosphere, "Royal brother, it's not good to let the Empress Dowager stand all the time, why don't you sit down and talk?"

Yongzheng nodded, and Su Peisheng cleverly brought a few eunuchs to bring chairs, tables, charcoal basins, and hot tea to Concubine De, Prince Yi, and the Fourteenth Prince.

Concubine De sat on the left, and the Fourteenth Prince sat below her. He was like a clingy wolfhound, sticking to Concubine De and refusing to leave. Prince Yi sat opposite Concubine De, drinking tea somewhat uncomfortably.

De Fei ignored the Fourteenth Prince's little trick and said to Yongzheng seriously, "I am not acting like this for the Fourteenth Prince. Now that you are the emperor, the Fourteenth Prince is your brother, but he is also your subject. If the Fourteenth Prince always does things that embarrass you by relying on the brotherhood, the brotherhood will eventually wear out. If you two brothers really reach the point where you can't bear to talk about it, how should I, as your mother, deal with it?"

At this point, Defei really touched upon a painful part of her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

This was a serious statement, and Concubine De was so sad. The Fourteenth Prince knelt down in front of Concubine De again. He could not bear Concubine De's tears, "It was my son's fault. I shouldn't have contradicted my fourth brother. Don't cry, mother."

Yongzheng and Prince Yi also knelt before Concubine De. Yongzheng held Concubine De's hand and said sadly, "Mother is my mother, and Prince Fourteen is my younger brother. How could I dispose of my younger brother?"

Prince Yi also advised, "With the Empress Dowager mediating, Your Majesty and Fourteenth Brother will definitely continue to be brothers in a friendly and respectful manner."

Concubine De choked up and said, "If I were still here, I would never allow the Emperor and the Fourteenth Prince to go to such lengths as to cause a quarrel between brothers. But I am already this old now, and I don't know how many days I can live. After I follow the late Emperor, who can stop you?"

After Defei finished speaking, she could not help but cover her face and burst into tears. Her voice was so mournful that everyone who heard it could not help but feel bitter.

Everyone tried to persuade her in vain. De Fei cried for a while, and then slowly stopped crying. "For the future of you brothers, please ask the Thirteenth Master to invite Zong Ling and the rest of your brothers. If the important officials in the court are not busy, you can also invite them as well."

Although he didn't know what Concubine De wanted to do, Prince Yi still did as Concubine De said and invited everyone. Fortunately, everyone was crying for Kangxi in front of the Qianqing Palace, and Prince Yi quickly brought everyone back.

Concubine De sighed, "I gave birth to three sons and two daughters, but now only two sons and one daughter remain in the world. My eldest son served me filially and respectfully, so I had nothing to worry about. But my youngest son seems to be a demon in the world. He has been restless since he was a child. He even relied on his brotherhood to be disrespectful to the emperor. This is the disaster caused by my pampering of my youngest son."

Concubine De paused, closed her eyes to calm herself, opened them and said firmly, "In order for the Fourteenth Prince to not go astray in the future, I, as his mother, can only teach him on behalf of the late emperor, so that he will remember the lesson and not make the same mistake again."

After saying that, Concubine De stood up, took the cane from Zhuxi, and scolded the Fourteenth Prince, "You evil creature, kneel down!"

The Fourteenth Prince was a little uneasy, but he still knelt obediently in front of Concubine De.

De Fei took a deep breath and raised her cane, "This first cane is for you being disrespectful to His Majesty! The Emperor is your master, how dare you disrespect him?

This second rod is for disrespecting your brother! Your brother has never been bad to you, but you are ungrateful!

......"

De Fei was beating him as she spoke, saying, "This cane is for you not caring about your birth mother! When you did these things, did you still remember that you had me as your mother?" The cane was unexpectedly broken. De Fei was still angry, "Come here, bring me another wooden cane!"

But the Fourteenth Prince was beaten with dozens of sticks. Even though Concubine De was not very strong, the force was enough to break the stick. The Fourteenth Prince gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound. Now there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
