The Virtuous Concubine

At this moment, Kangxi's heart was full of contradictions and anger. He thought that this little Niuhulu was so bold that she dared to hide such an important event related to the inheritance of the royal bloodline from me. What was she planning?

Do you think you can keep yourself safe this way? Playing some tricks in the harem without worrying about two deaths?

Kangxi had experienced so many births by women that he knew that there must be something fishy going on when little Niuhulu gave birth to the child. The answer to why she did this is self-evident.

Humph, so smart! Kangxi immediately felt that little Niuhulu took herself too seriously. Today is no longer the same as when he first ascended the throne.

But when Kangxi stepped into the bedroom of the little Concubine Niuhulu and saw the child's chubby and strong appearance, most of the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

The baby lay quietly in the cradle. His chubby face had not yet lost its redness or wrinkles. He still looked like an old man, and his little mouth would smack occasionally.

Kangxi couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently touch the child's face. The soft touch made his heart instantly become extremely soft.

He whispered, "This child looks like he can stand on his own feet." The nurse quickly said, "Thanks to the emperor, this child was born strong."

Kangxi nodded, and then carefully examined the child. He pinched the child's bones and found them very thick. He was sure that he would be a brave man in the future. Kangxi's eyes showed some fondness.

The child seemed to sense a strange breath and twisted his body a few times. Kangxi hurriedly coaxed him gently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I am your father." Seeing the child gradually calm down, Kangxi showed a relieved smile on his face.

He handed the child to the nurse in front of him and said, "Take good care of him. I will come to visit him often."

The nanny who was close to Concubine Niuhulu burst into tears of gratitude: "I would like to thank the Emperor for his grace on behalf of the Empress. The Empress has woken up and has packed up. Would the Emperor like to go and see her?"

Kangxi waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's late at night, she must be very tired, she should have a good rest, I will come again another day."

After saying this, she glanced at the nanny, turned around and left the bedroom, but her dissatisfaction with the little Concubine Niu Hulu had already dissipated a lot.

He was quite displeased when he heard what the maid said. The delivery room was unlucky, how could it be a place where a king of a country should go? This maid really didn't have the calmness that an old man in the palace should have.

However, considering that today was the Tenth Prince's birthday, he did not lose his temper on the spot. He suppressed his unhappiness, turned around and left. He did not go back to Concubine Yi, but went straight back to the Qianqing Palace.

It was not until dawn that the news spread. The entire harem was shocked by the birth of the tenth prince. No one had expected that Concubine Niuhulu would give birth to a prince quietly at night.

It is said that there was no time to call the imperial physician because the child was born.

The doctors in the Imperial Hospital were all trembling with fear, fearing that the Emperor would blame them for not delivering the baby in time. The people in the Imperial Household Department were busy preparing various expenses for the little prince and the imperial concubine.

But all the concubines in the harem are thousand-year-old foxes, and they just feel that the current imperial concubine is not upright.

Of course, they didn't think that the imperial concubine was on guard against the emperor. They only thought that little Niuhulu was on guard against them, fearing that they would do something and harm her Tenth Prince!

In the Cining Palace, the Grand Empress Dowager sat on the couch, twisting the Buddhist beads in her hands. Her face looked calm, but her mind was racing. "This Niuhulu family is quite resourceful. She gave birth to a prince quietly, but the emperor must not be very happy that she is on guard against everyone like this."

After the emperor left, Concubine Yi was so angry that she smashed a set of tea sets. "Humph, this bitch is so cautious. Before I could do anything, she blocked the way first."

Concubine Hui was also restless. "What should I do? This little prince of the Niohuru clan has such a distinguished family background. I'm afraid he will surpass my eldest prince!" She paced back and forth in the room. The handkerchief in her hand was twisted into pieces, and her heart was full of worries.

The other princes also had mixed feelings when they heard the news. The one who was most unhappy was the crown prince.

At this moment, no one in the magnificent Yuqing Palace dared to make a sound.

When the prince heard the news, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He finally got rid of the eldest prince, hit the prime minister, and then went through untold hardships to stop the fourth prince from being adopted. Before he could relax for two days, another one came!

Niuhulu clan, Niuhulu clan! This family's power is not to be underestimated. It is much larger than the Hesheli clan, the Tong clan, and the Nalan clan.

"In this case, even the boss is nothing." The prince felt more and more uneasy, and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.

He had always behaved carefully in front of the Emperor Father, trying his best to meet his expectations. Finally, among all his brothers, he managed to maintain his superior position in the eyes of the Emperor Father and the previous dynasty.

But now, this little prince in swaddling clothes has become his biggest threat.

The prince was very upset and walked around the palace to relax.

He didn't want to discuss it with Soetu at all. Uncle Soetu would know about this matter sooner or later, and then there would be a lot of nagging and planning.

Now he just wants to find a quiet place, think about nothing and do nothing.

Unconsciously, he walked to the gate of Yonghe Palace. The prince stopped and looked up at the gate of Yonghe Palace, with a complicated emotion in his heart.

Defei... I didn't pay attention to her at first. It was only at the emperor's instruction, or request, that I reluctantly found Defei with Xiao Si's help.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be overjoyed. But she was very cautious, thinking that he accepted me because I was good, and not trying to please me because of my status as the crown prince.

Originally, he thought that the emperor wanted to find a mother to take care of him, but now the relationship between them has become both teacher and friend, which the prince himself finds very wonderful.

Perhaps he subconsciously wanted to find some peace, or perhaps he wanted to temporarily avoid those thoughts that made him upset. After hesitating for a moment, the prince finally stepped into the gate of Yonghe Palace.

As you enter the Yonghe Palace, the scene of colorful flowers in the courtyard comes into view.

This Defei is also very strange. She doesn't like to cherish precious flower seeds. She only wants those that have a long flowering period, are strong and easy to grow, and don't attract insects.

She always said that those precious flowers were not only difficult to take care of, but also not particularly rare. But the prince didn't understand, and didn't want her to do it herself, so what was she dissatisfied with?

Several old crabapple trees stood by the wall, and the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of light and shadow. There was also a rocking chair and a small table under the tree, and a swing in the corner.

However, there were not many people in the courtyard, only two maids who were cleaning the courtyard and taking a nap under a birdcage in the corner of the corridor.

The hustle and bustle and fighting in the palace seemed to be isolated outside the door, and the atmosphere here made him feel a little more relaxed.
