The Virtuous Concubine

Malu hugged the prince tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body.

In the dream, he was unaware that he was just a guest. At this moment, Malu couldn't even tell whether he was in a dream or reality.

All she could do was indulge in pleasure.

When leaving Yuqing Palace, Malu had to ask the prince to put some powder on her face to cover up the redness on her face.

It is still inappropriate for the prince to be sick while the imperial concubine is in high spirits.

In the end, Malu did not go to the prince's backyard to beat those people up. Instead, he repeatedly told Chen Xin to take good care of the prince.

Chen Xin agreed with a dark face - he was outside and couldn't hear the voices inside clearly, but he could still hear a little bit of any movement.

Forget it, isn’t personal care also a kind of care?

After the two little lovers had a heart-to-heart talk, the prince no longer had any worries and naturally recovered quickly.

Kangxi was very pleased and praised Malu, gave her many rewards, and postponed the time of spring silkworm hunting for the prince. However, he issued an imperial decree that the empress dowager was too old to work hard, so this time's silkworm ceremony would be presided over by Concubine Dezhao.

This made the Fourth Prince very embarrassed.

Not only was his power as regent delayed, but his mother was also praised for taking such good care of the crown prince!

He was in his own mansion, and his heart bled when he thought of his mother going to "take care" of the prince.

Several times, he couldn't restrain himself from rushing to the Qianqing Palace to wake up the Emperor, so as not to give these two people the opportunity to be alone again!

But he couldn't, so he could only rage helplessly in the mansion, scaring everyone so much that he even scared the Fourth Lady's fetus once.

Fortunately, after the emergency treatment and careful care of the imperial doctors, the fetus in the Fourth Lady's belly was finally saved temporarily. But after this incident, the Fourth Lady completely gave up on her moody husband and just waited until the child was born.

The resentment and unwillingness in his heart were like a maggot attached to his bones, growing wildly in the Fourth Prince's heart, making him more and more impatient, and his actions became faster and more ruthless.

He couldn't wait even a day!

The Fourth Prince was secretly plotting in his heart, with a cold and resolute light flashing in his eyes.

This time, the prince simply died in Chunsou.

In his opinion, there is no better time than the spring collection. At that time, he was firmly in the capital, firmly in control of the situation in the capital, Yinzuo was in the south of the Yangtze River, Yinzhen was in the northwest, and there was no reason to involve Yonghe Palace.

"Will mother be heartbroken upon hearing the news of the crown prince's death?" Such a thought suddenly flashed through the Fourth Prince's mind. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange and twisted smile, with a chill that seeped out of the Nine Nether Hell, which made people shudder.

The Fourth Prince has always been decisive and ruthless in his actions, but unfortunately, the Crown Prince is by no means a weak lamb to be slaughtered at will.

After going through all these twists and turns, especially with Malu's counseling, the prince broke free from the shackles that bound him in his heart and completely let go.

The women that Kangxi had forced upon the prince also played a role, especially the concubine Ulanara.

Her father Fei Yanggu is the current governor of the Nine Gates, who controls the lifeline of the emperor. When he learned that his daughter was lucky enough to be pregnant with the prince's first child, and it was very likely to be a boy, the balance in his heart that had originally thought of surrendering to the Fourth Prince suddenly tilted.

Fei Yanggu acted decisively and jumped off the Fourth Prince's boat. With all the strength of his family, he completely defected to the Prince's camp.

As the one who was in charge of the emperor's security, he would not allow anyone to do anything to the prince. With him guarding the prince, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be for the fourth prince to do anything.

Multiple forces are intertwined and involved with each other, and with each exerting their own efforts, the much-anticipated spring collection finally arrives as scheduled.

Kangxi brought most of the princes with him this time, and only brought Concubine Mi with him among the concubines. Kangxi thought that Concubine Mi had suffered the pain of losing her son and was becoming increasingly haggard and depressed, so he brought her with him, hoping that she could go out and relax, think more positively, put aside the past and start competing for favor again.

Counting the faces in the harem today, they are all familiar faces. Either they have established a foothold in the palace by virtue of their offspring and family background, and their status is stable and they do not need too much attention from the emperor; or they are concubines that Emperor Kangxi has long been tired of or he never liked them from the beginning.

In this somewhat dull scene, the only concubine who was young and beautiful and able to please Kangxi was Concubine Mi.

If Concubine Mi continued to indulge in sadness, Kangxi really felt that he didn't need to enter the harem and could just stay in the Qianqing Palace every day and have fun with the palace maids in the surrounding rooms.

After the farewell ceremony, the concubines began to speculate on the various matters concerning this trip.

Concubine Yi enjoyed watching the fun and smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits.

This is really a blessing from heaven! Finally, the foxy Concubine Mi suffered the consequences and lost her child.

Moreover, she could not understand the emperor's kindness. He said he wanted to take her out to relax, but Concubine Yi felt that it was clearly a death warrant for Concubine Mi!

"She's been pregnant three times in the past few years, but each time she lost the baby, doesn't this clearly show that she's not strong enough? The emperor is really too much of a fool, even taking a weak girl from Jiangnan with him to go horseback riding and hunting, isn't this clearly because he thinks she's lived too long!"

Concubine Yi complained to Noble Lady Guo Luoluo.

Seeing that Concubine Guo Luoluo had no expression, Concubine Yi said to herself, "I saw it clearly. The Fourth Prince's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Look at Concubine Dezhao and the Crown Prince. They are very proud and have a tacit understanding. If you don't know, you would think they are the real mother and son! This is really a joke."

The emperor loves the prince, and everyone is used to it. But his own mother loves the prince even more, and has won the emperor's favor because of this. If the fourth prince is not made of clay, he will definitely be angry.

The same goes for Imperial Concubine De Zhao. She actually wanted to turn her elbow outward and rely on the Crown Prince to climb to the throne. She doesn't even know that her backyard is on fire!

Concubine Hui was in a particularly good mood and even ate an extra bowl of rice. Her eldest prince had shown extraordinary talent in riding and shooting since he was young, and his riding and shooting skills were among the best among the princes.

Now the prince has just recovered from a serious illness and has lost a lot of weight. I guess his physical strength and energy are not as good as before. When the spring collection comes, the prince will definitely be far surpassed by his eldest brother.

When Concubine Hui thought of this, a smug smile appeared on her face.
