The Virtuous Concubine

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to look anymore and lowered his head.

I just re-evaluated Yonghe Palace and the status of the Fourth Prince in my heart.

Here, the Fourth Prince led Madam Fengsheng out of the palace with a smile on his face.

If it is said that Yinzhen lowered his status, it is not true. Lady Fengsheng was Kangxi's most respected and favored wet nurse, and Kangxi even called her "my old man".

He was polite to Lady Sun, the wife favored by Kangxi, and was also recognized as "filial" by the Qing Dynasty.

After encountering a major change in her family, Lady Fengsheng ran around everywhere, but because of the Crown Prince's heavy blows and Kangxi's illness and absence from court, she suffered a lot of cold treatment.

At this moment, seeing that the prince in front of her was so kind to her, and even spoke gentle words to comfort her, treating him with a warm and gentle warmth, her fondness for the Fourth Prince increased dramatically.

If the Fourth Prince grows up two years longer, he will be the same age as her brother who unfortunately passed away!

Thinking of this, Madam Fengsheng couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Fourth Prince looked at Madam Fengsheng crying and a hint of sadness appeared on his face, but in fact he was calm inside.

He was just about to go in to pay his respects when he learned from Wei Zhu that Madam Fengsheng had been inside for quite some time, crying to the emperor about how her grandson had been killed by the crown prince's vigorous investigation.

Yinzhen knew his father's character very well.

He would definitely choose the crown prince, and would only have some grudges against him, but as a "benevolent monarch", he would endure it no matter how impatient he was when facing his wet nurse.

As a good son, he would naturally take the initiative to help his king and father solve their problems.

So he asked Wei Zhu to report that the Fourth Prince had brought Nianhulu Wuergong'a to discuss military matters.

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then agreed.

Niuhulu Wuergong'a was just a guard beside the Fourth Prince. What important matter could he discuss?

It was simply that the Fourth Prince saw that his father was torn between the Crown Prince and Madam Fengsheng, so he came to help.

When Kangxi saw that Yinzhen actually followed Nianhulu Wuergong'a into the hall, his expression was a little complicated.

He naturally understood Yinzhen's intention, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

How can you play such a trick? Can't I deal with my own nurse? He really takes after his mother. He has so many evil tricks when he turns his eyes.

However, having said this, Kangxi still felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Yinzhen bowed respectfully, he began to change the subject subtly, reminding Kangxi that it was time to see the guests off.

Seeing that there was no way to come up with any results today and that Kangxi had important military matters to attend to, Lady Fengsheng naturally said goodbye. The Fourth Prince then "considerately" offered to see Lady Fengsheng off.

Seeing this, Madam Fengsheng thought that some important official or Kangxi's confidant had come, so the Fourth Prince found an excuse to leave and leave the two of them some space. She also obediently followed the Fourth Prince out.

This led to the scene where Liang Jiugong saw the Fourth Prince and Madam Fengsheng talking together.

The Fourth Prince didn't know how to comfort the old lady in front of him.

After all, he still had to save face for the Crown Prince, so he could only say something bland to change the subject: "When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I passed by a landscape that looked very much like the painting on the gold-painted landscape plate in the Mother's Palace. It really made people marvel at the beauty of the landscape in Jiangnan, which was like a poem and a painting."

After hearing what the Fourth Prince said, Lady Fengsheng recovered a little from her sadness.

She followed the topic of the Fourth Prince and said, "Oh? What a coincidence! This gold-painted landscape plate was originally made by my only son Cao Yin and his grandson Cao Yong after they traveled all over the Jiangnan landscape and found painters from Jiangnan to make it. This was to allow the emperor to feel the elegance and style of Jiangnan even though he was in the capital..."

Sun cheered herself up, recalling the origin of the plate, and said again: "I didn't expect that the fate between our Cao family and the Fourth Prince would be so early."

"It's a pity that Cao Yong is no longer in this world. This plate has become a memory." Madam Fengsheng's voice trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes again, but her emotions were much more stable than before.

The Fourth Prince nodded in surprise. "Is this true? Mother has been in the palace for more than ten years and has always cherished this landscape plate. She even refused to let me touch it. She said it was given by my father and she loves it very much."

Madam Fengsheng gently wiped the tears from her eyes, and then said softly: "No wonder the Empress Defei favors her so much, the Empress Defei is thoughtful."

At this time, Madam Fengsheng already understood what the Fourth Prince meant.

Fourth Prince, this is extending an olive branch to the Cao family!

Although the two were talking about plates, wasn't this what the Fourth Prince was saying, that if he got the Cao family, he would definitely treasure it?

At this moment, Lady Fengsheng no longer cared about the sadness of seeing a loved one die, and began to think.

After this incident, the Cao family was seriously injured. Although it is said that if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die... But it is better to choose someone who will not let himself die as the "king".

Even if the Cao family didn't mind these two lives, the prince would not be at ease using the Cao family - she knew best about the Cao family's extravagance and arrogance, and she must have known this as well since she had copied the prince from the Cao family.

Madam Fengsheng's mind was in turmoil, and she knew that she didn't have much time left to hesitate.

The Emperor will be returning to Beijing soon, and the Fourth Prince will certainly follow him.

Before leaving, there must be an explanation for the fact that the emperor's medicine was poisoned, and another wave of people will die in Jiangnan.

If the Crown Prince did not hold on to the Fourth Prince, he would have shown no mercy to the Cao family, with whom he had already formed a feud, and the Cao family would have been doomed.

Even if they survived, if the prince ascended the throne in the next dynasty - the Cao family would never be as prosperous as before!

As for whether the Fourth Prince had any intention of seizing the throne, the experienced Sun had never doubted it.

She didn't believe that such an outstanding prince would not have any ideas at all.

Moreover, he hid himself so well and had a very good relationship with the prince.

Even if the Fourth Prince just said a few good words for the Cao family in front of the Crown Prince to smooth things over, it would be good. . .

Almost in an instant, Sun made up her mind. She took off the glass-type imperial purple jade bracelet with extremely fine water content on her left hand and respectfully presented it to the Fourth Prince with both hands.

This bracelet is so purple that it seems to be dripping with color, and the color is so translucent that you can clearly see that there is no impurities or breaks inside even in sunlight.

The Fourth Prince had been a human being in two lifetimes, so he knew at a glance that this was the finest jadeite that had never appeared in the palace.

Imperial Purple is only available to the royal family, let alone such a good quality one.

It was because of her status as Kangxi's wet nurse that Lady Fengsheng had the honor of receiving this bracelet bestowed by Emperor Kangxi, which she wore every day.

The Fourth Prince looked at the bracelet presented by Madam Fengsheng, but did not immediately reach out to take it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Madam Fengsheng said respectfully, "Fourth Prince, I know the difficult situation of the Cao family now, and I also understand your ability and mind. This bracelet was given to me privately by the Emperor when I left the palace. Just consider it as a token of our Cao family's sincerity to you."
