Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

At the morning court the next day, Kangxi saw the strange faces of his ministers. After returning to the Qianqing Palace, he became angrier and angrier. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had not been lenient with Concubine Wu. As for his previous intention to investigate the mysterious man behind Concubine Wu, Kangxi had long forgotten about it. Now he just wanted to find someone to vent his frustration on.

So he turned to Liang Jiugong and said, "Noble Lady Wuya ruined the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. She feels guilty and thinks she is entangled with bad luck. She asks to be demoted and confined to the Buddhist temple to pray for the Queen Mother by handwriting Buddhist scriptures to purify her bad luck. I am grateful for Noble Lady Wuya's sincerity and have granted her request."

When Liang Jiugong heard this, he was confused. When did Noble Lady Wuya come? How come we didn't know about it?

And when you feel guilty, what?

He even asked to be demoted. Am I dreaming? Was Concubine Wuya stupidified by the fart last night, which is why she did such a thing?

While Liang Jiugong was still daydreaming, Kangxi continued, "Noble Lady Wuya was demoted to a concubine. In consideration of Wuya's sincere efforts to reform, I will grant her the right to live alone in Ningxiang Pavilion. Ningxiang Pavilion will be closed from today onwards, and no one is allowed to enter without permission."

After Kangxi dealt with the culprit once again, he felt a little better, but then he felt upset when he thought about the White Lotus Sect causing trouble and spreading rumors recently.

Why are my sons so disappointing? I have so many sons, but not one of them gave me a grandson. Even if there is no legitimate grandson, there should be at least one illegitimate one. However, I have a lot of granddaughters but no grandson. Because of this, the White Lotus Sect seized the opportunity to attack the Aisin-Gioro royal family.

When Liang Jiugong heard Kangxi's instructions, he was dumbfounded. He felt that there were countless things to complain about, but he didn't know where to start.

But it must be said that Kangxi was the most powerful when it came to treating dogs. Ningxiang Pavilion was just a remote and dilapidated attic. It would be better to be banished to the cold palace than to live there.

Liang Jiugong was complaining in his heart, but without showing any expression on his face, he left quickly to convey the emperor's order, for fear that if he was a step late, he would not be able to help but reveal a gloating smile.

It was actually because when Concubine De was just reborn, she was too arrogant and thought that she had become the empress dowager in her previous life, and could also support the Fourteenth Prince to ascend the throne in this life. She was very contemptuous of Liang Jiugong and thus offended him.

Liang Jiugong had always kept this matter in mind and had always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. Now anyone with a discerning eye could see that Concubine Wuya had no chance of turning things around, so Liang Jiugong went to convey the order with great excitement.

In this way, Wu Yachang was quickly moved to Ningxiang Pavilion by the eunuchs sent by Liang Jiugong, where she burned incense and worshipped Buddha every day, and copied Buddhist scriptures.

After everyone knew what happened to Wu Ya Chang Zai, they all felt that the emperor's methods were becoming more and more shameless. It was obvious that he wanted to punish Wu Ya Chang Zai, but he insisted on saying that Wu Ya Chang Zai was asking for punishment because she felt guilty.

The ignorant and simple-minded people: It turns out that the empress in the palace would feel guilty if she did something wrong. She is so kind, not at all as bad as the White Lotus Sect said.

After the Queen Mother's birthday, Mu Xi started staying in the mansion to prepare for giving birth. And because of Mu Xi's appearance at the birthday banquet, everyone's attention once again turned back to Mu Xi, and they were all secretly thinking of ways to sabotage.

Mu Xi and the Fourth Prince Yinzhen were well prepared. The midwife was already ready and brought to the mansion, and was monitored day and night. The midwife's family was also hidden by the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, making it impossible for the Eighth Lady and others to find a chance to take action.

As Mu Xi's due date approached, the fourth prince Yinzhen went directly to Kangxi to ask for a long vacation.

"Father, please grant me leave. I am doing this to better protect the emperor's grandson. Father, you know how many evil hands my son's wife encountered during her pregnancy. If I don't go back to take good care of her, I'm afraid that when I return from duty one day, I'll see... Besides, there's nothing for me to do here. Father, you might as well let me go back directly. When my wife gives birth safely, I will definitely help you find more capable people..."

The fourth prince Yinzhen first appealed to Kangxi's emotions and reason, and then began to fool people, as if he was determined to convince Kangxi to approve the leave.

When Kangxi heard the shameless reason for his fourth son's request for leave, he silently despised him in his heart. Every time the fourth prince said something, Kangxi would retort in his heart.

The fourth son really has nothing to do, so he has assigned all the work to my other sons, and he even says that those who are capable should do more work. I am weak and need to rest well, so I can't worry about this.

Kangxi just wanted to say that the fourth son's eight hundred tricks were all used to plot against my other sons, so of course I couldn't worry about him.

Also, when the Fourth Prince Yinzhen said that many people were involved, Kangxi couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, he knew about it and helped to conceal it.

Kangxi thought of the lucky star in the fourth concubine's belly, and happily gave the fourth prince Yinzhen a vacation. However, he thought that once this matter started, other princes might follow suit, especially the ninth and tenth princes, who would really learn it.

Kangxi then said with a stern face, "The Fourth Prince made inappropriate remarks in front of the palace. He will return home and reflect on his mistakes for a month. No one is allowed to visit him without permission."

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen heard this, his tone immediately became kinder, "Thank you, Father Emperor, for your grace. I will accept the punishment."

"You little rascal, go back and protect my grandson well. When the grandson is born, you must come back and do your job for me well. Do you understand?" Kangxi scolded with a smile.

It was not known whether the Fourth Prince Yinzhen took Kangxi's words to heart, but he agreed readily, then left the Qianqing Palace happily and returned to his own Prince's Mansion.

When everyone heard the news that the Fourth Prince was under house arrest, they all began to gloat. If Kangxi had not ordered that no one was allowed to visit, the threshold of the Fourth Prince's mansion would probably have been trampled down by all the people who came to watch the fun.

Brothers: It’s finally the fourth brother’s turn to be unlucky. That feels so good. I can finally vent some of the anger I had from being pointed around by the fourth brother (fourth elder brother). It’s a pity that he can’t come and laugh at me.

Fu Jin: Mu Xi's family is unlucky! It's such a good opportunity, why can't I go and see Mu Xi's miserable state in person? What a pity.

Before the princes and their wives could finish gloating over the misfortune, Kangxi rewarded Mu Xi. The change was so sudden that the wives did not even have time to take back the smiles on their faces.

Ministers: It seems that the Fourth Prince is not despised! This confinement is a bit of a joke, I am afraid it is just a reason for the Fourth Prince to take a leave to rest. The ministers thought of this, and the princes also thought of this implication, and they immediately became jealous.

The turmoil outside had nothing to do with Mu Xi. Life in the Fourth Prince's mansion went on as usual. Mu Xi gave birth just a few days after the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was under house arrest.

After a day and a night of hard work, the baby was finally born safely.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Fourth Prince sent someone to announce the good news. The Fourth Lady gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, at dawn today!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your grandson..."

Liang Jiugong also said some festive words.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"I was right. The Fourth Lady is blessed with this baby. Liang Jiugong, go to my private storehouse and find some jewelry for me. I remember that Mu Xi likes them. Choose carefully. I have to think about what names to give to the twins. If it's too late, maybe the Fourth Lady has already chosen a name."

Kangxi sent Liang Jiugong to deliver the reward, and he went back excitedly to choose a name.

"Bang!"

Another batch of porcelain has come to fruition.

When the women in the harem learned that the eldest grandson had been born to the Fourth Lady, and that they were twins, a boy and a girl, they gnashed their teeth and cursed inwardly. At the same time, they were also annoyed at their own daughters-in-law for not living up to their expectations, and secretly began to pick out a few easy-to-give-up princesses for their own sons.

Brothers: I am so angry, why can't I be so lucky to give birth to a legitimate grandson? I didn't expect that the sickly fourth brother got a legitimate son first.

The concubines: The Fourth Concubine was already quite arrogant and happy among them. Now, she has given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. They can no longer hold their heads up in front of the Fourth Concubine.

When Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia learned that her daughter-in-law had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, she became extremely excited.

"Mammy, am I going to be a grandmother now? And we have twins, a boy and a girl. The Fourth Lady is really doing well. I wonder if she will make those women in the harem angry to death. I don't know how the Fourth Lady is doing. Mammy, please go to the storehouse with me and pick out some things suitable for Mu Xi and send them to her."

After Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia excitedly picked out the rewards, she noticed that Consort Hui and the others were so angry that they vomited blood, and she happily ate two more bowls of rice.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Kangxi's reward had been increased, she also increased it by three points. The old Empress Dowager knew that Kangxi finally had a legitimate grandson, and she happily ate a few more bites in the evening.

That night, except for the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia, everyone else in the harem probably had trouble sleeping.
