Fortunately, not long after, Yu Suisui met Concubine Yi because of her naughty son, the Ninth Prince.

The ninth prince Yinzhen met a kitten playing on the road. He was so excited that he took it back and shaved the kitten's clothes.

Yu Suisui's lion cat, which used to wear fur coat, was now naked. Yu Suisui felt it was a sin when she saw it, so she could only ask Xi Lan to work overtime to make two sets of clothes for her cat.

When Concubine Yi brought her jumping son over, Yu Suisui was holding her cat to comfort him. When the kitten saw the Ninth Prince, it immediately jumped onto the table, arched its body, and the remaining hair on its tail stood up. It opened its mouth to show its sharp teeth and made a hissing sound.

Yu Sui felt distressed when seeing this, so he asked Xianxiang to take Concubine Yi to another room while he comforted the injured kitten.

In the small flower hall in the side hall, Concubine Yi was so furious that she couldn't suppress it. She twisted the Ninth Prince's hand with a little more force, and the Ninth Prince cried out in pain.

"I was wrong, mother, please let me go, my ear is going to fall off!" The Ninth Prince grimaced in pain and slapped Concubine Yi's hand with his chubby hands, begging for mercy all the time.

He had cut the hair of four puppies before but his mother didn't get so angry. Why did she want to kill her own son this time?

Hearing this, Concubine Yi became even angrier. What kind of son was this? She wanted to be friends with Hesheli, but now there was no hope.

Thinking of this, she felt sad and angry. She twisted her son's ear and turned it around twice, causing the Ninth Prince to cry so hard that it shook the earth, as if his own father had died.

When Yu Suisui came over, the Ninth Prince was lying on the ground, crying loudly, and kicking his legs back and forth.

"Sister, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of Yinzhen. I won't say a word if you want to beat me or punish me." When Concubine Yi saw Yu Suisui quickly admit her mistake and apologize, she spoiled her son. If she had known this earlier, she would have sent him to the Empress Dowager.

She really gave birth to a devil.

Yu Suisui felt sorry for the kitten, but she also knew that she really couldn't shave all of Ninth Prince's hair. She looked into Concubine Yi's eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"

Concubine Yi immediately swore, "Sister, if I tell even a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning." After that, she secretly glanced at Yu Suisui's expression and promised, "Don't worry, sister. This is Yinzhen's fault. You can punish him however you want. I will never stop you." It would be better if she didn't have this annoying son.

She was worried, thinking that this was not the mother paying for her son's loss.

Yinzhen should take responsibility for his own mistakes and never implicate her.

Yu Suisui listened to Concubine Yi's words and saw her sincerity. He thought for a moment and said, "My vegetable garden is still in need of someone to weed and fertilize. Why not ask Prince Nine to come and weed and fertilize after school in the next month?"

She must work on several plots of land nearby within this month. She would first ask the Ninth Prince to weed manually and then to fertilize manually.

Concubine Yi agreed quickly, "Of course, of course. Not to mention asking him to work for a month, even asking him to work for another year is fine." So every time Yinzhen came, she followed him to see if she could talk to Hesheli.

Yinzhen, who was lying on the ground, stopped crying and looked at his mother blankly. What was she saying? Wasn’t he her biological son?

When Concubine Yi saw that her son had stopped crying, she bent down and pulled her son up, and pushed Yinzhen over, "Sister, from today on, you can arrange everything for him."

Yu Sui glanced at the Ninth Prince whose face was covered with tears and snot, frowned slightly, and took a half step back. "Don't worry, we can come back tomorrow. I'll ask Xi Lan to take him to the vegetable garden then."

It was time to prepare the land and plant winter vegetables. Let's ask Ninth Prince to plant the cabbage as well. And ask him to plant some cat grass to make amends for her kitten.

Concubine Yi felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so she took her troubled son back to her Ruizhu Courtyard.

When Kangxi found out, he just laughed.

Now, that cat is the apple of her eye. If he hadn't forbade it, the cat would have slept on the same bed with them at night.

It's ridiculous that the king of a country has to sleep with a cat.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also asked someone to send over a few toys for the cat, including a hollow flower ball made of gold. The kitten loved it so much that he would push it around the house and play with it for a long time every day.

During this conversation, Yu Susui and Concubine Yi were able to talk to each other, sometimes about food, sometimes about clothes.

When it came to the New Year's banquet, the two of them sat next to each other, which made the people in the harem drop their jaws.

Concubine De had not expected that Concubine Yi could actually get along well with Concubine Xi, who had a very different personality. When she and Empress Tong first met Concubine Xi, she had a hunch that Concubine Xi might be difficult to get along with.

The dishes for the annual banquet were the same every year. Yu Suisui was sitting there bored, so he talked to Concubine Yi about Kangxi's new love, Wang, who was jointly recommended by Kangxi's trusted confidants, the Cao family, and the Li family.

She was truly a pitiful woman, with delicate skin, fragrant cheeks and charming and affectionate eyes. Just looking at her from a distance was enough to make people feel pity for her.

Concubine Yi was no longer as bitter as she was ten years ago when she talked about this. She just lowered her head and whispered, "Sister, if you like, just look at her a little longer. But don't ask her to come to your palace. A woman like her is a nuisance."

Concubine Yi's father and brother were powerful, so they naturally knew where Wang came from. They said she was the daughter of a county magistrate, but looking at her figure and her usual behavior, that was definitely not something a daughter of an official family could do.

Yu Suisui didn't think it was a big deal. Wang was just a pawn being manipulated by others and could not protect herself. Following Kangxi was a way out.

Thinking of this, Yu Suisui sneered in his heart again, what a damn era.

"I know, Nalanzhu, try this wine." He pointed to the wine glass on the table. This year, the wine served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was real wine, while in previous years it was always flower dew.

Concubine Yi's surname was Guo Luoluo and her given name was Nalanzhu. This was told to her by Concubine Yi. She also said the original owner's name was Yiermu, which means skylark.

As for her own name, Yu Suisui did not say it. She had never thought about letting anyone know her name. They were all just passers-by here.

Both sides are.

Concubine Yi picked up the wine glass on the table. It was peach blossom wine. Concubine Yi squinted her eyes and could still smell a faint fragrance in her mouth. It was a rare good wine.

After the New Year's Banquet, Yu Suisui followed Kangxi to Changchun Garden again. This time, Concubine Yi had to stay in the palace temporarily because her youngest son was sick.

The capital city was still cold in spring, and the wind was so cold that it hurt people's faces. Yu Sui wrapped herself in a white fox fur scarf and hid her face inside it. Kangxi must be sick. Why did he invite her to Hui Fangshu to see the scenery in such a cold weather?

Looking over there, isn't it just a rice field covered with snow? What's so good about it? You might as well lie in bed and eat some roasted peanuts and nuts.

"Long live the emperor." Yu Suisui bowed slightly and immediately shivered with cold. The roads she had come all the way were narrow, the sedan chair couldn't pass, and the ground was slippery. She was very careful and almost froze to death on the way.

Kangxi handed over the hand warmer in his hand. His nose was so red, pitiful. "Warm your hands quickly."

Huifangshu is a two-story building modeled after the Jiangnan style. Kangxi pulled Yu Suisui upstairs and opened the window. Yu Suisui heard the whistling cold wind and shivered, holding the hand warmer tightly in his hand. Kangxi was really a beast.

"Look." Kangxi pushed Yu Suisui.

When Yu Sui looked up, she saw the setting sun shining brightly on the ice and snow in the river not far away. Her mood immediately improved.

After eating a hotpot meal with Kangxi in Huifangshu in the afterglow, Yu Sui's mood finally improved. Then he heard Kangxi say, "I want to personally lead the expedition against Galdan."

If you want to go, just go. What are you talking about? Yu Suisui wiped his mouth and said perfunctorily, "I wish the emperor a successful start and success."

Why tell her about this? Can she fight in the war on behalf of Kangxi?
