The Virtuous Concubine

Liang Jiugong was startled and quickly stopped talking with Aunt Shu Yu and walked quickly forward.

"Your servant pays respects to the Fourth Prince."

The Fourth Prince also politely bowed, "Eunuch Liang, please don't be polite."

Liang Jiugong looked at the slightly weak Fourth Prince and asked carefully, "Fourth Prince, are you going to see the Emperor?"

The Fourth Prince nodded slightly, "That's right, please let Eunuch Liang pass on the message."

Liang Jiugong replied, "Please wait a moment, Fourth Prince. The three Grand Secretaries are discussing important matters with the Emperor. I'm afraid you will need to wait a little longer. Can you... hold on now? Do you want me to find you a place to rest?"

The Fourth Prince straightened up slightly and was about to refuse, when Aunt Shu Yu beside him smiled and said, "Since Mr. Liang has to stay by the emperor's side, why don't you let me take the Fourth Prince to the warm room to rest for a while?"

The Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment, and considering that the relationship between Mother and Aunt Shu Yu was much deeper than that between him and Liang Jiugong, he nodded modestly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Shu Yu."

Aunt Shu Yu led the way with a smile on her face, and the Fourth Prince followed slowly behind her, supported by the eunuchs.

Liang Jiugong turned around and walked quickly into the Qianqing Palace - Kangxi was indeed chatting with several university scholars, but it was not something so important that he could not be disturbed.

He said this because he was afraid that Kangxi would not want to see the Fourth Prince, and was also afraid that the Fourth Prince would say something that would offend Kangxi, so he delayed for a while and wanted to find another opportunity to remind the Fourth Prince.

Now that Shu Yu has taken over, there is nothing to be afraid of.

In the warm room, this was the first time Shu Yu had a conversation with the Fourth Prince like this.

The Fourth Prince sat down, took another sip of tea, and asked Shu Yu with a straight face, "How is the Emperor's health recently? Because of my affairs, the Emperor's father and mother are worried. It is really wrong for a son."

Shu Yu leaned forward slightly and fiddled with the teapot, actually taking advantage of the blind spot of vision and writing on the table with his fingers dipped in tea.

As she wrote, Aunt Shu Yu continued to talk as usual: "Fourth Prince, don't blame yourself too much. The Emperor is in good health and nothing serious has happened. The Emperor will surely be happy to know your sincere filial piety."

The Fourth Prince glanced at it from the corner of his eye and saw Shu Yu wrote two words, one was "respect" and the other was "disobedience".

The Fourth Prince understood instantly.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Seeing this, Shu Yu also nodded slightly and continued to fiddle with the teapot as if nothing had happened.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and a eunuch came in to report that the Emperor wanted to ask the Fourth Prince to come over.

Shu Yu wiped it lightly with her hand, and the two words disappeared completely.

The Fourth Prince stood up to see Kangxi, and after he entered, there was no more noise from inside.

Liang Jiugong was guarding the door, seemingly calm and composed, but in fact he waved his whisk at least one third more times than usual.

He is in a hurry!

I have been held hostage by the Fourth Prince, so I have helped him a lot, both openly and secretly. But now the Fourth Prince is at a critical moment of life and death.

I don’t know if Shu Yu has made it clear to him!

Liang Jiugong pricked up his ears from time to time, trying to catch any movement inside, but the tightly closed palace gate seemed like an insurmountable barrier, locking all sounds inside.

Sometimes he was worried that the Fourth Prince would say something wrong and displease the Emperor, and sometimes he was hoping that the Fourth Prince would perform well and turn the tide.

He resisted the urge to pace at the door, and looked at the tightly closed palace door from time to time, hoping that it would open as soon as possible.

It was not until the sky darkened that Kangxi's voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Liang Jiugong was cheered up, and the eunuchs on both sides quickly opened the door and let Liang Daban in.

Kangxi and the Fourth Prince both looked very calm. The Fourth Prince leaned back in his chair, looking extremely tired. On Kangxi's desk, above the numerous memorials, was a brilliant yellow Buddha's hand.

When Kangxi saw Liang Jiugong coming, he raised his eyes slightly and said, "Liang Jiugong, find a sedan chair and send the Fourth Prince back to the Prince's residence. Then let Doctor Rong and Doctor Gu check on the Fourth Prince."

Before Liang Jiugong could respond, Kangxi said, "Call the four Grand Secretaries Chen, Yu, Xiong, and Li to come and draft an edict for me."

Four grand secretaries drafted the edict!

Liang Jiugong hurriedly sent the Fourth Prince back, and then ordered Wei Zhu to send someone to summon the four grand secretaries into the palace.

On his way back, the Fourth Prince stood up and saluted, bowing his body, but staring at the Buddha's hand on the table, and asked Kangxi: "Father Emperor..."

Kangxi picked up a memorial and threw it at the Fourth Prince, scolding him with a smile: "You useless boy, I have given you so many things, and you only lack this one fruit? Ask your mother for it again!"

The Fourth Prince did not dare to hide, and quickly reached out to take the memorial, and left accompanied by Liang Jiugong.

On the way back, Liang Jiugong was secretly shocked at the calm expression of the Fourth Prince.

So, is this solved?

The prince's crisis is going to the imperial mausoleum, while the fourth prince's crisis is losing the emperor's favor! Now it seems that everything is fine, and the emperor even likes the fourth prince more.

Liang Jiugong's heart was as tense as if it were being touched by a cat's claws. He really wanted to know what the Fourth Prince had said to the Emperor that caused the Emperor to take a 180-degree turn in his attitude.

But because of the Fourth Prince's temper, Liang Jiugong didn't even dare to ask. Liang Jiugong sighed secretly, knowing that it was impossible for him to get an answer from the Fourth Prince. He had a higher chance of getting the answer from the Emperor!

The Fourth Prince didn't care whether Liang Jiugong lived or died. He sat safely in the sedan chair, dozing with his eyes closed.

Among the many princes in the palace, only the crown prince could ride in a sedan chair, and now he could ride one too. Thinking of how his mother had gone back in a sedan chair a few days ago, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

My mother in this life is really a good person. It is thanks to her reminders and preparations that I am able to be so successful today.

The Buddha's hand in the Fourth Prince's, or Prince Yong's, arms at this moment was like two hands clasped together, emitting a cool and unworldly citrus scent from time to time, making him more sober.

The method from the previous life is still more useful. Yinzhen thought about the next arrangements.

Now that he has obtained the throne of prince and retained the title, he cannot be too ostentatious in the previous dynasty.

Now he can continue farming and chanting Buddha's name just like in his previous life, until... until the crown prince and the eighth brother destroy themselves.

Their strength was consumed in the struggle, and as one grew while the other grew, they naturally showed up. Moreover, he still had Yinzuo and Thirteenth Brothers. In this life, he had more people around him than Old Eighth Brother, so he couldn't jump out in a hurry.

As for his own marriage, Yinzhen also had his own ideas.
