Snow Color

After a while, Qiaohui called Ruoxi to get up. After being woken up, Ruoxi felt very sore and tired.

"Second Miss, you must get up and pay your respects to Lady Fu." Qiaohui helped Ruoxi put on her clothes and combed her hair.

Going to the main courtyard to pay respects, the Eighth Lady waited until everyone was present before coming out. After everyone finished paying respects, she drank the tea that Ruoxi offered. "From now on, you should all live in harmony and give birth to more children for the Eighth Master."

Having said that, he let them leave.

Ruolan stood up and left first. She knew that Fu Jin seemed to have changed. In the past, she had always been indifferent to the matter of paying respects, but now she had carried it out completely. She didn't know what Fu Jin meant by this. She was worried about Ruoxi, but she didn't care about herself.

……

There was an endless quarrel in the court over the appointment of a crown prince.

In the court, all the ministers gave their advice and strongly recommended the Eighth Prince as the new crown prince candidate. Emperor Kangxi was furious and thought to himself: "I just deposed the crown prince, and now some people are eager to appoint a new crown prince. What are these ministers thinking?" He knew that all the princes had the support of the court officials, but he never expected that the Eighth Prince was so well hidden that he could win the support of half of the ministers.

At this moment, Kangxi had unprecedented doubts and vigilance towards the Eighth Son. He began to reflect on whether he had always underestimated his son's ambition and means. Perhaps the Eighth Son had been secretly planning for a long time and had coveted the throne for a long time. Facing such a scheming and unstoppable opponent, Kangxi could not help but feel a chill. However, as the king of a country, he must not let the court fall into chaos, and he must not easily entrust the country to someone with ulterior motives.

The more Kangxi looked, the angrier he became, yet his body became calmer. However, the aura of majesty emanating from him became increasingly heavy, making it clear that this was only the calm before the storm.

"Alinga, Orondai, Kuixu, Wang Hongxu, you and nearly a hundred ministers, and all of you princes, who have nominated the eighth prince as the crown prince?" Kangxi's face was calm, but he was filled with great anger. Are they asking for this? They are forcing the emperor to abdicate.

"Father, I think the second prince is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince." The fourth master said. He knew that the emperor would not agree to be forced to establish a crown prince. His father held great power and always kept his word. He would not allow anyone to interfere. Moreover, the emperor loved the deposed crown prince the most and would not give up just like that. Moreover, he was openly a close brother of the crown prince. If he said someone else, the emperor would definitely think that he was plotting something bad and forming a clique for personal gain.

"Your Majesty, I agree with Fourth Brother." The Thirteenth Master followed closely.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Father, Eighth Brother is both virtuous and wise. It is well known to everyone. Everyone knows that Eighth Brother is the only choice for the Crown Prince. This is also the opinion of the important ministers." The Ninth Master came out and reported to Kangxi, while glancing at the Fourth Master next to him with disdain.

Kangxi became more and more angry, and he became more and more displeased with the Eighth Prince and his party.

"It turns out that everyone thinks that the Eighth Prince is the most popular candidate for the Crown Prince, but the Second Prince is not an ideal candidate. I must be blinded and lost in my mind to choose the Second Prince to be this incompetent ruler." Emperor Kangxi calmly asked the people present without changing his expression. His eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see through everyone's heart.

The princes and ministers lowered their heads, thinking to themselves: "This atmosphere seems to be a little wrong..." They keenly realized that the emperor was extremely angry at the moment.

The emperor exuded a suffocating aura of majesty. Everyone was terrified and knew that they had to be extremely careful at this moment.

And that sentence pierced everyone's heart like a sharp sword - "The emperor is stupid and they are smart"! Isn't this a great insult and disrespect to the emperor? Who dares to be so bold as to say such rebellious words!

For a moment, the court was completely silent, and everyone lowered their heads silently, fearing that they would become the target of the emperor's anger. They knew that at this time, saying one more word or taking one more step could lead to death.

As a result, the entire palace fell into a dead silence, with only the emperor's question echoing in the air.

"Ninth brother did not mean that. Please calm down, Father." After hearing this, the Fourteenth Master came out to defend the Ninth Master.
