Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

The Prince of Zhi really lived up to his expectations. After Kangxi's eyes swept around, he raised his head and replied:

"Father Emperor, it's just a rumor among the people. Rumors can't be trusted. Didn't they say whose daughter the concubine was?"

Kangxi sat back on the carved dragon throne again, looked coldly at his four kneeling sons below, and threw a memorial on the table down.

The four people suddenly felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the disease had already spread to someone?

Sure enough, he heard the words coming from the leader: "Get up, you see, today, the rumors in the capital directly point to a beautiful girl!"

The memorial was spread out in front of Yinzhen. With a stern face, he bent down and picked it up to take a closer look. Several others also came over.

It was written on it: "…the daughter of the governor Geng Dejin is born with the Phoenix…"

The prince snorted coldly, closed the memorial, met Kangxi's eyes, and still said with some sarcasm:

"Father Emperor, Geng Dejin is quite ambitious. He has made such a blatant announcement about his own daughter. I'm afraid he is plotting rebellion!"

But Kangxi's face became increasingly gloomy, and he felt inexplicably disappointed. Yinreng still did not have enough experience and only saw the surface.

"What about you? Do you feel the same way?"

Prince Zhi had always disliked the Crown Prince, so he would not let go of the opportunity to show off. He glanced at the Crown Prince, bowed his hands and spoke confidently:

"Father, I don't think Geng Dejin would do this. He usually works diligently, and this rumor doesn't seem to be his doing!"

Kangxi's expression then eased a little. It was obvious that he agreed with what Prince Zhi said. He then looked at the other two people.

Prince Cheng's eyes rolled around. He had always been interested in poetry and songs, and listened to the opinions of his retainers on many political affairs. It was very rare for him to express his ideas on the spot.

I can only bite the bullet and agree with him.

"What the eldest and second brothers said are both possible. I think it would be better to arrest Geng Dejin and interrogate him in detail."

"Yinzhi, how can you say such a thing? It is still unknown whether Geng Dejin did it or not. Are you trying to make a big deal out of this by arresting him?"

Kangxi didn't expect the third brother to come up with any useful insights, but he was still so angry at these words that he slammed the table.

Several people knelt down in the middle of the hall in an instant, shouting at the Emperor to calm down. Prince Cheng even had cold sweat on his forehead, regretting what he had said.

"Yinzhen, what do you think?"

When Yinzhen heard that he was being asked, he first thought about the whole matter in his mind, and then answered Kangxi seriously.

"My son agrees with both my second brother and my eldest brother."

Kangxi, who had been leaning against the dragon throne, suddenly straightened up, his eyes slightly narrowed, making it impossible to understand his thoughts, and his voice became lazy.

"tell me the story."

In terms of resemblance, the prince looks the most like himself, but in terms of behavior and handling, the fourth brother is somewhat like him.

Yinzhen quickly went over what he was going to say in his mind. The Qianqing Palace was silent for a moment. The Crown Prince and Prince Zhi did the same, listening with their ears pricked up.

"On the surface, Geng Dejin is ambitious and wants to associate his beloved daughter with the Phoenix Fate to build momentum for her entry into the royal family. No matter if the prince of marriageable age asks the emperor for marriage for this illusory thing, even if he can't become the legitimate wife, he can still use this opportunity to become a concubine."

As he spoke, Kangxi's expression became calmer and he played with the ring on his finger. The other three people also began to follow Yinzhen's thoughts and still disagreed with what he said.

These are all visible and there is no need to repeat them.

Seeing that Kangxi did not interrupt him, Yinzhen paused and continued, "…I think there might be someone else behind this! The rumor started two months ago, but now someone named someone when the discussion is at its most heated. It is very eye-catching."

"If it was really done by Geng Dejin, he is currently only a small official, so he can't do such a big thing!"

Kangxi's expression completely relaxed, and he felt deeply moved. It was so obvious, but only Yinzhen saw it. He still needed more experience.

The prince's face was gloomy and uncertain. He was so eager to show himself that he did not think about it carefully or pay too much attention to the matter. Instead, he became a stepping stone for the fourth brother.

Although Prince Zhi's face was not very good, he felt somewhat proud in his heart. The fourth brother's speculation was just an idea he got from him. As long as the crown prince was unhappy, he would be happy.

"Yinzhen is right. Send more people to patrol the capital these days. This person is so blatant, there must be follow-up!"

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Kangxi watched the few people leave, stood up and took Liang Jiugong to Baohua Temple in the imperial palace, and entered the innermost room alone.

Inside was an old monk with gray hair, Liaochen, who was chanting sutras.

A few days later.

The draft is in progress.

The daughter of Geng Dejin, the governor, and the daughter of Niuhulu, a fourth-rank official in charge of ceremonies, were both assigned to Prince Yong Yinzhen as princesses. The Crown Prince, Prince Zhi, and Prince Cheng, who were summoned by Kangxi for a talk that day, all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Although the rumor was later stopped by people sent by the Emperor, and several stall owners who spread the rumor were arrested on the spot, the person behind the scenes could not be found.

The rumor about the Phoenix-born concubine did not disappear, but instead became a secret rumor.

Regardless of whether the fate is true or false, everyone wants to have it in their own backyard. Appearance and family background are not important anymore, as she is just a concubine.

Now that the Emperor has pointed him to the fourth brother, how could they not think too much? They all saw the fourth brother's performance that day.

Yinzhen could clearly feel three sets of eyes on him whenever he went to court these days, and he encountered many setbacks in doing his work.

Compared to the indignation of the three princes, Yinzhen was a little unsure of the emperor's thoughts. With the rumor of the phoenix destiny, why would he point the person to him?

No matter how much they struggled, three days later, two sedan chairs were carried into Prince Yong's mansion.

The Fourth Lady arranged for the two of them to live in Tingyu Pavilion. Only Wu Ya lived in it, but it was quite spacious.

According to the rules, Yinzhen went to Gengjia's room first, and then went to Niuhulu's room the next day.

Meanwhile, Tong Nuanyan, who was leisurely raising her baby in Piaoxue Courtyard, was also preparing for her child's one-year-old celebration. The two chain stores she opened in the capital also sent people to report to her.

Everyone knew that Tong Nuanyan's dowry farm was doing business. It was extremely normal for her to come and report after opening the palace, and the Fourth Lady would usually agree to let her in.

"Master, Jinxiu Pavilion made a net profit of 100 million taels of silver in the past year. Excluding the 30 million taels earned from the cooperation with the royal family, the total revenue is 70 million taels of silver!"

Tong Nuanyan was drinking a cup of Biluochun and listening to the report from the people below. She was not surprised. Jinxiu Pavilion had opened branches almost all over the northern part of the Qing Dynasty this year and the income was very considerable.

"Well, has anyone gone to the manor to inquire recently?"

Since two months ago, No. 805 and No. had often sent messages to saying that someone was spying on the village in the capital, and asked them to solve the problem.

The person below looked up, revealing a pair of light blue eyes. It was obviously Bionic Man No. 1. His previously golden hair had now transformed into the style of a Qing Dynasty woman, and his figure was also that of a woman.

"Master, no one has come to inquire recently, but the farm is a bit small and there is no room for several production lines."

A unique mechanical voice sounded. I don't know if the interstellar people were also worried that robots would destroy civilization. They were set to be emotionless.

Tong Nuanyan looked at him carefully. Her black hair was tied into two rings. She had a pretty face and looked like a woman in her thirties.

"You don't need to ask me about such trivial matters. You and No. 2 have the authority. Just go and buy a few farms."

"receive."

Tong Nuanyan wanted to say something when she heard "Mom" from the door, and then three babies quickly ran in from outside.

They all fell into her arms, interrupting what she was about to say.
