The Virtuous Concubine

After hearing the whole story from the imperial concubine, Malu felt a little dizzy.

"What do you want, Lady Wei?"

Concubine Niuhulu's index finger could not stop tapping the armrest of the chair. Seeing Malu asking this, she said helplessly: "Wei Shi is naturally for the Eighth Prince..."

Ma Lu still looked confused, muttering to himself: "But with such a plan, aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed and implicate the Eighth Prince?"

Concubine Niuhulu snorted coldly: "She has been blinded by ambition and only wants to secure a good future for the Eighth Prince. She has never thought about how the Eighth Prince will cope with the situation once the truth is revealed."

It turned out that Concubine Hui was focusing on the eldest prince. Seeing that the eldest prince was so successful while her own son was left unattended, Concubine Wei was distracted for a moment.

For Concubine Wei, as long as she is not exposed, it is indeed a profitable business.

If something happens to the Crown Prince, the eldest prince will take the throne, and the Eighth Prince who follows the eldest prince will also rise to the top. If something happens to the eldest prince, both the Crown Prince and the eldest prince will suffer, and as a prince raised by the Nalan family, the Eighth Prince will also get more help.

Malu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, what a pity.

The temptation of power and status is too great, and everyone is drawn to it like moths to a flame, unable to extricate themselves. Wei is no exception.

Kangxi's punishment came down quickly.

Concubine Wei was stripped of her position, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the cold palace. The entire Wei family was executed, and the servants involved, such as Cuixiu, were either executed or exiled three thousand miles away.

Huifei regained Kangxi's trust and favor because her injustice was redressed.

After hearing the punishment, everyone in the palace sighed.

If Kangxi had not escalated the matter to the level of treason in order to calm the situation and not affect the peace talks, there would have been a river of blood.

The Eighth Prince was also implicated. He lost his biological mother, and everyone in the harem avoided him.

The little Eighth Prince did not understand why his mother was taken away in tears and never returned. The Concubine Hui, who had loved him before, no longer wanted to see him, and instead sent him to the Prince's residence the day after she was restored to the throne.

The Eighth Prince was alone in the residence, in a daze, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

He didn't understand why his world became so strange and cold overnight.

Especially when he saw the several princes following the Fourth Prince, they seemed to be following his lead, and saw them playing and laughing together, but he could not fit in at all.

The Eighth Prince bit his lip, feeling a sour feeling in his heart. He had tried to get closer, but was always blocked by their defensive and strange looks at the moment he approached.

So he could only stand silently in the distance, watching them play with Xueying and feeling his own loneliness.

At night, the Eighth Prince lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The little boy secretly swore to himself that he must become strong so that no one would look down on him anymore.

The Fourth Prince was also very clear about the turmoil in the palace, and his mother hid nothing from him.

Looking at the young Eighth Prince and his former mortal enemy who was now in such a miserable state, he felt a little hesitant.

Should we kick the man when he is down, or should we take advantage of the situation and win him over?

After thinking about it, Yinzhen rejected both options.

The emperor always liked the scene of loving fathers and filial sons, and brothers being friendly and respectful to each other. If he were to add insult to injury at this moment, he would certainly be disliked by the emperor.

Just like the third brother who took advantage of the prince's misfortune, he ended up with a bad ending himself.

But Lao Ba, like his mother Wei, is an ungrateful person. Even if you try to win him over, you can't prevent him from biting you back in the future.

To be honest, Concubine Hui treated the Eighth Prince quite well. She never lacked him anything and even asked Wei to look after him often.

But Wei felt resentful because Concubine Hui cared more about her own son, the eldest prince.

But they are her own children! Isn't it natural to treat her own children better? But Wei didn't think so, and felt that her child was wronged.

Therefore, although the Eighth Prince seems miserable now, his position is actually stable thanks to Kangxi's guilt.

He realized that he couldn't touch the Eighth Prince for the time being, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Or maybe I was too young and my mother was too kind... As he said this, he looked at the snowy shadow lying at his feet, wagging its tail.

If he were a little older and had more people under his command, the Eighth Prince could have died directly in the Prince's residence to prevent future troubles.

If his mother was a cruel person, it would not be difficult for her to kill the Eighth Prince if he could find a reason to say a few words to her.

But he knew very well that his mother in this life would never do that.

Yinzhen clenched his fists, his heart filled with resentment. Now, his strength was weak, and he had to endure the hatred of his previous life for the time being.

After this incident, both Concubine Hui and the eldest prince became more stable and ruthless. The eldest prince was no longer as aggressive and aggressive as before and did not lose his temper easily.

Huifei was also more cautious, but her desire for power was also greater. Fortunately, Malu was also unwilling to take charge of things, so he found a reason to assign some of the palace affairs to Huifei.

These were originally distributed to Concubine Hui by Kangxi at the beginning, so it was legitimate for him to give them back.

As for the personnel to be deployed and the spies to be mobilized, Malu had already prepared them. As long as Concubine Hui did not make drastic changes right after taking office, it would not affect her plan.

Originally, with the relationship with Nalan, it didn't matter if Concubine Hui was changed. But now, I don't know whether Nalan is brushing the horse or dumping horse manure.

However, at the moment, palace affairs and Nalan are not the focus of Malu's attention.

The key point is the twins, a boy and a girl, it’s time to enlighten them.

But Kangxi didn't know why his attitude changed. When Xiao Si'er was first educated, he was very attentive and even started his education long in advance.

However, when it came to Yinzuo's turn, Kangxi did not take any action for a long time.

Malu’s education of her children was quite Buddhist, especially since Yinzuo was not the eldest son, so it didn’t matter if he grew up a little slower or later.

But even so, Kangxi dragged it to the point that Malu became anxious, which shows that Kangxi was really abnormal.

Malu did not dare to make any rash suggestions to Kangxi because of the identities and names of her sons, a boy and a girl, and their every move were being watched by those who had ulterior motives and were being paid special attention to.

Now, we are in a dilemma.

Although she felt that her son didn't need to be so hardworking and tiring, he couldn't be like the Fifth Prince!

What's more, Wen Xian also has her own ideas and arrangements.

She wanted Wen Xian to receive education together with other princes!

In fact, according to Malu's idea, all princesses should be like this. Only by learning how to govern a country can they manage the place well, and only by learning riding, archery and martial arts can they strengthen their bodies... so as not to die early.

Otherwise, what's the point of getting married? It's just a lonely thing!

Kangxi was notoriously indifferent to the princess. She was thinking that she could set a precedent by saying that twins, a boy and a girl, could not be separated, and let Kangxi make an exception.

Then, if she makes some noise with other concubines who have princesses, maybe all princesses will be able to go to school?

Malu was worried about the two children's schooling all day long, but she had no good solution.

She could only observe Kangxi's actions in secret, while also thinking about whether she could use other roundabout ways to make Kangxi pay attention to Yinzuo Wenxian's enlightenment.

After trying several times, Malu realized that Kangxi just didn't want Yinzuo to be enlightened.
