Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

"Fujin, you've worked hard today. I heard from Jinyue beside Fujin that the Eighth Fujin mocked Fujin again today. I will seek justice for you."

The fourth prince Yinzhen said while hugging Mu Xi.

When Mu Xi heard this, she did not refute. After all, the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo still deserved to be punished. When she first became the Eighth Concubine, she had a conflict with Mu Xi.

Today is the day that the Tenth Prince is getting married. Now all the princes before the Tenth Prince have married, but they are still living in the Prince's Residence and have not yet moved out of the palace to build their own residences.

In the past few years, after Defei was demoted to a noble lady, she became quiet. Apart from taking back the custody of the Sixth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince, she has been staying in Yonghe Palace and has not caused any trouble.

In recent years, Imperial Noble Concubine Tongjia has been suffering from repeated illnesses, and Mu Xi has been keeping her life on hold. She looks weaker than anyone else, and has been issued several critical illness notices, but she still survived.

At the beginning, when Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was about to die, Kangxi would be very anxious. She would also leave a lot of wills and ask Kangxi for a lot of favors for Fourth Prince Yinzhen. But after many times, Kangxi was no longer anxious. During one time when Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was critically ill, Kangxi asked for permission to change Fourth Prince Yinzhen's name to Yudie. Now Fourth Prince Yinzhen is Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia's son.

The concubines in the palace were accustomed to the fact that Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia would be critically ill every two or three months. If Kangxi had not asked Imperial Physician Chen to take her pulse, and if Imperial Physician Chen was not Kangxi's man and would definitely not betray Kangxi, Kangxi would have thought that Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was faking illness.

Every time Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was seriously ill, Kangxi would send some rewards to her. As the number of such gifts increased, Kangxi's private treasury shrank a lot.

In recent years, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen has also been brainwashed by Mu Xi, and he has become very indifferent to working for the court. In order to be lazy, he faints every few days, and when he faints, he takes Mu Xi to another courtyard to recuperate for a while. Kangxi, for the sake of Fei Yanggu and the Tong family, always gives rewards to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen when he is sick. The Fourth Prince Yinzhen also found an opportunity to make a fortune from this, and every time he wanted to give Mu Xi a gift, he pretended to be sick and took advantage of Kangxi.

Kangxi: You two are such an ungrateful couple. I really suspect that every time you two get sick, you are trying to cheat me out of my private storehouse. My private storehouse has almost been emptied by you two. What sin did I commit in my previous life to meet you two, the ungrateful couple?

Kangxi said that every time Noble Consort Tongjia and Fourth Prince Yinzhen fell ill, his private treasury would tremble!

The number of princes mentioned by the elder brothers gradually increased and it became more lively. Every prince's backyard had women such as concubines and princesses, except for the fourth prince's backyard.

Every day Mu Xi either stayed in the yard to eat gossip about the infighting between the women in the other princes' backyards, or secretly fanned the flames to vent her anger for the original owner.

So there was chaos in the Prince's Residence every day. When Mu Xi was tired of playing, she asked the Fourth Prince Yinzhen to pretend to be sick and take her to the villa for a few days to recuperate.

"Fujin, my eighth brother brought back a few princesses today. The eighth wife must be very busy recently. Also, the princesses that my eighth brother brought back this time are not ordinary princesses. They will definitely keep the eighth wife too busy to find trouble with you."

The fourth prince Yinzhen half-hugged Mu Xi and said.

Hearing this, Mu Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know so much? Is it someone you sent?"

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard this, he quickly explained, "Wife, I'm not looking at other women. Didn't the Eighth Lady embarrass me at my tenth brother's wedding banquet last time?

Didn’t I say I would find a place for you, Madam Fu Jin, so I secretly had someone trick my eldest brother, and then in order to show his concern for his brothers, my eldest brother directly sent a few women to my eighth brother.

I asked someone to check on those women, and they are not easy to deal with, so Fu Jin, just wait and see."

When Mu Xi heard this, she looked at the Fourth Prince in surprise. She never expected that her own grandfather could be so mean.

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Yinzhen, when can we move out of the palace and build a residence? There are more and more people in the prince's residence now, and it's noisy every day. Sometimes I am almost annoyed."

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard this, he handed a piece of fruit to Muxi and said with a bit of gloating, "Fortunately, I only have my wife, otherwise I would be like my eldest brother and his family, and there would be no peace in the backyard every day. However, as for leaving the palace to build a mansion, it depends on when the emperor will give the order."

The fourth prince Yinzhen said here, depressed, "Recently, the emperor wants to send troops to fight Galdan. A few years ago, the emperor raided the Baoyi family, and the treasury was full of silver, so the emperor is planning to go to war now. So the emperor may want to wait until the war is over before conferring titles on the first few princes before leaving the palace to build a residence."

Mu Xi was also very depressed when she heard this. She suddenly had an idea and said, "Master, why don't you let my father ask if we can leave the palace and build a mansion in advance?"

"It's not impossible. After we leave the palace and build our own house, we can go to the farm often to play." The fourth prince Yinzhen said with his head resting on Mu Xi's shoulder.

"Are you sure you want to go to the farm to have fun instead of to see the plants in your precious farmland?" Mu Xi said jokingly. After all, under the influence of Mu Xi, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen in this life was not keen on office work, but was keen on cultivating various high-quality crops.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard this, his ears turned red. "No, I just came to see her. I mainly wanted my wife to go out more. Isn't she not fond of staying in the palace?"

When Mu Xi heard this, she didn't refute but just smiled.

On that day, Mu Xi asked her personal maid to pass a message to her father Fei Yanggu, asking her father to go to Kangxi to sound out the situation.

In Chengqian Palace!

Mu Xi and the Fourth Prince came to pay their respects to Imperial Concubine Tong Jia as usual!

"Mother, the weather has been hot recently. Please take care of yourself and don't get heat stroke, otherwise you will be seriously ill again. I heard that you have a poor appetite recently. I have some refreshing and appetizing recipes. I will give the recipes to Madam and ask her to let the kitchen make some. How about you try them, mother?"

Mu Xi sat next to Imperial Noble Consort Tong Jia and spoke with a smile.

When Imperial Noble Consort Tong Jia heard this, she smiled and spoke softly, "Little Fourth Lady is thoughtful. Mother will take care of herself. Besides, there are so many servants around her, so you don't have to worry. Just take care of yourself, young couple. Especially Yinzhen, you should also take care of your health. He just fainted a few days ago."

Mu Xi and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen both smiled and nodded when they heard this.

Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia spoke again, "You just consummated your marriage in the last few months, so don't be in a hurry to have a child. Health is the most important thing. Don't listen to the rumors outside. Look at other princes. Even if they are pregnant and have children in their backyards, they are all weak and weak. Some are born prematurely, and they all give birth to princesses. You two should not ruin your health just to shut them up."

When Mu Xi heard this, she lowered her head and blushed. As for why all the princes' children were princesses, this was of course the work of the former Concubine De, now Concubine Wu, and Mu Xi just helped a little.

Concubine Wu gave pregnancy pills to all the princes except her own child. Originally, Concubine Wu wanted to give the princes sterilization pills, but they were too expensive, so she chose pregnancy pills.

Mu Xi took advantage of the situation and directly increased the sperm activity of the princes, making their offspring more abundant, but they were all princesses.

Didn't those concubines mock the original owner for not being able to give birth? Then Mu Xi would let them give birth to more daughters and see how those concubines who could only give birth to princesses could still act so arrogant in front of her.

Also, there are too many princesses, and the dowry alone is a headache for them. Every day they have to be on guard against other women in the backyard giving birth to sons before them. The palace fighting alone can make the wives of the concubines overwhelmed. Let's see if they still have time to find fault with them.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard what Imperial Noble Consort Tong Jia said, he nodded solemnly, "Mother, my wife and I will take care of him. He will definitely live a long life. Mother, you should also take good care of your health and don't worry too much. I still look forward to you taking care of my grandson."

When Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia heard what Fourth Prince Yinzhen said, she couldn't help but think of the days when she would leave the palace to retire, and she laughed even more happily. Then she thought of something and looked at the Fourth Prince and his wife seriously.

"You two should also pay attention to the prince recently. Concubine Wu has been making small moves recently, and I don't know what she is up to. Recently, your royal father has favored Concubine Wu again. He wanted to promote Concubine Wu before, but mother suppressed her. However, mother can't suppress her for much longer."

When Mu Xi heard this, her eyebrows raised frivolously. Concubine Wu had finally taken action. Mu Xi knew without checking that Concubine Wu had used up the last of the luck of the Favored Concubine System. She estimated that as long as she could suppress Concubine Wu this time, the Favored Concubine System would be almost gone.

"Mother, my son and the wife will pay attention to it." When the Fourth Prince heard what Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia said, disgust flashed across his eyes, and he tried to comfort Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia.

After Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia gave some instructions to Mu Xi and Yin Zhen, she let them go.

Under Fei Yanggu's constant nagging, Kangxi finally agreed to allow the adult princes to leave the palace and set up their own residences.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen received the news, he came back directly to share it with Mu Xi, and the two of them began to plan the mansion with great interest.

In order to let his daughter leave the palace earlier, Fei Yanggu asked his son who stayed at home to stay at the Fourth Prince's mansion whenever he was free. He urged the palace servants to speed up the construction of the mansion. He even complained that the construction was too slow, so he found a group of people to help, and it was completed in no time.

At the same time, Fei Yanggu followed Kangxi to fight against Galdan and fought very bravely.
