The Virtuous Concubine

There has been unrest in Yuqing Palace these past two days.

The prince had lost a sachet made for him by a favored princess, and was searching for it over and over again. Chen Xin looked like he wanted to dig up the Yuqing Palace to find the sachet.

He commanded a group of young eunuchs and palace maids to conduct a carpet search in every corner of Yuqing Palace. To put it bluntly, they just short of turning over all the boxes and cages of the princesses and concubines.

Unfortunately, nothing happened, and the prince was so angry that he punished a lot of people.

Chen Xin was also extremely anxious. If the sachet fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would cause endless trouble. Seeing that the crown prince was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters, he was even more worried. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and carefully investigate in the Fengxian Hall, the Qianqing Palace, and the Upper Study.

How can I throw away this sachet?

It was like a bomb that might explode at any time, and Chen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Although the prince was reluctant, he could only grit his teeth and temporarily put away everything that Malu had given him, hoping that this period of hype would pass quickly.

When Kangxi learned that the prince had made such a big fuss in Yuqing Palace for a princess, he was immediately furious, feeling both angry and disappointed.

Fortunately, with Rong Ji's careful treatment, his body finally recovered, and he finally had the energy to summon the prince to be scolded.

But only Rong Ji knew that this kind of good thing was only temporary.

Seeing that Kangxi now has a ruddy complexion and walks freely, it is actually overdrawing Kangxi's vitality.

If he could take good care of himself, follow the doctor's advice, and cultivate his character, his life span might not be affected too much. But Kangxi was the emperor, and he was stubborn by nature. He thought he had recovered, so he went to court, indulged in entertainment, and summoned concubines as before. His emotions fluctuated greatly many times because of his suspicion, and he had no restraint.

If this continues, I'm afraid that Kangxi's health will start to deteriorate again soon.

Yinreng couldn't sleep all night, as he didn't expect to be summoned to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor early in the morning.

"Your son pays respect to His Majesty, Father. May His Majesty rest in peace."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "Humph, you still remember to come to see me? Let me ask you, for a princess's sachet, you tossed people and horses in Yuqing Palace, how can it be disgraceful? Do you still remember your identity? As a prince, you should set an example for the world, instead of indulging in these trivial matters of love!"

"If you act like this, wouldn't it make the world laugh at you? How can I trust you to hand over the Qing Dynasty to you?"

Ugh!

The prince was not afraid at all, he just sighed quietly: "Father, have you never been trapped by love in your life?"

Kangxi really didn't expect his son to say that, and alarm bells went off in his heart.

There must be a seductive woman in Yinreng's backyard who seduced him! He was really on guard. He had spent so much time picking someone with a clean background, but he didn't expect that there would still be trouble.

Is this okay?

Kangxi's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly gave Liang Jiugong a look. Liang Jiugong understood and retreated quietly.

After Liang Jiugong disappeared outside the palace gate, Kangxi softened his tone and said to the prince earnestly, "You are so foolish. How can you be led by a woman? As long as she is still alive, how many sachets can't she embroider? And if she is not there, there are others!"

"Moreover, this backyard, like the previous dynasty, must be balanced and cannot be done blindly according to your personal preferences."

After persuading her for a long time, the prince finally smiled: "Son, I understand. I'll ask her to embroider another one when I get home."

When Kangxi heard this, he was shocked by his stubbornness. Did he listen to me and say this again after all the time he had told him not to favor her?

The father and son chatted for a while, and before leaving, Kangxi quickly selected two beautiful and gentle palace maids to be given to the prince.

Kangxi was taking a desensitization approach. He really believed that the reason why the prince was so trapped in love was because he had seen too few women, so he tied his heart completely to one person.

As long as the prince sees more women, he will get used to it and will not become addicted, just like the method some parents use nowadays where they let their children play crazily and then give up when they get tired of it.

The prince frowned and agreed, and under Kangxi's gaze, he led the two palace maids back to Yuqing Palace. The two palace maids followed closely behind him, with their heads lowered, but their hearts and eyes were filled with the prince's tall and straight figure.

Originally, the two were chosen to be sent to the emperor, but the emperor has already... Unexpectedly, the emperor actually gave himself to the prince! Of course, the two were surprised and delighted. After all, the prince is young and strong, with a promising future. Compared with the current Kangxi, he is naturally a better choice.

When Concubine Jin heard that the prince had returned, she was delighted and hurriedly straightened her clothes to ask for an audience. When she arrived at the door of the prince's study, she saw two women who had been sent out. They were dressed in palace maids' clothes, with graceful figures and beautiful faces, and were definitely not comparable to ordinary palace maids.

As expected, after she entered the study and bowed to the prince, she heard the prince indifferently instruct her, "Just find a place to settle the two new people. All matters from now on will be left to you to arrange."

Ulanara replied softly: "Yes, Your Highness. I just don't know who these two girls are..."

The prince waved his hand impatiently: "It was given by the Emperor, you should deal with it properly."

Concubine Jin was also a little puzzled. Why was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still unhappy? Those two looked like beauties.

After the prince finished speaking, he walked to the desk, sat down, picked up an ancient book, pretended to flip through it, and signaled to the concubine that she could leave.

But Ulanara was not here to seek favor for no reason. Seeing the prince like this, she hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up her courage and lowered her voice to report to the prince: "Your Highness, not long ago, the eunuch Liang in front of the emperor came to Yuqing Palace and asked me who was the most favored in my backyard. After I reported the truth, eunuch Liang took Yang Gege away directly."

Having said this, she raised her eyes and glanced at the prince secretly, only to see that the prince, who was pretending to read a book, suddenly stopped.

Yang Gege was the only Gege in the backyard who was born a bondservant palace maid.

The prince basically treated all the princesses and concubines in the backyard equally, except for those who were particularly noisy. Among the others, only Princess Yang was favored by the prince once or twice, so Ulanara reported her name.

The prince frowned and said, "Do you know why Eunuch Liang took Princess Yang away? Did he leave any message?"

Ulanara shook her head slightly: "Eunuch Liang did not say much, he just followed orders."

The Emperor simply wanted to punish Yang Gege as a warning to himself!

The prince nodded calmly: "I understand, you can go down."
