Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

News in the palace always spread quickly, and soon Concubine Wu was demoted to a concubine. From then on, the story of the ancient Buddha and the green lamp spread throughout the six palaces in the east and west.

It was just that Kangxi ordered that the part concerning the Fourteenth Prince should not be spread outside. After all, not only would it have a bad influence on the Fourteenth Prince, it would also damage the reputation of the royal family.

But no matter how strict the ban was, everyone was not a fool. It was obvious that Concubine Wu's demotion was related to the Fourteenth Prince, and all kinds of speculations were rampant for a while.

In the study room, after lunch break, the princes who came to class also heard the news, and everyone looked at the Fourth Prince with changed eyes.

The son of Concubine Wu and the son of Concubine Wu are very different. The former is the prince of the mistress of a palace, while the latter is the prince of a low-ranking concubine.

Everyone had been isolating the Fourth Prince because of the Crown Prince, and now they don't take him seriously even more.

"Tsk tsk tsk, some people are just like people from the same bloodline. They are not presentable and will do anything to achieve their goals. They are thick-skinned. If it were me, I would have covered my face with my sleeves and appeared here shamelessly!"

As soon as the Ninth Prince came in, he saw the Fourth Prince sitting on the seat and deliberately spoke loudly.

The room instantly became quiet.

The Fourth Prince raised his head, his face expressionless. His phoenix eyes, which looked very much like Kangxi's, seemed filled with ice as he looked coldly at the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince was not afraid at all, and even raised his eyebrows deliberately, indicating that he was talking about him, because it was him who married Shi Rongyue.

Neither of the two sisters in the Shi family is a good person. If it weren't for them, my mother wouldn't have fallen out of favor, leading to her current illness and being forgotten by the Emperor. They all deserve to die.

At this time, an angry voice came from behind the Ninth Prince.

"Nineth brother, what are you talking about? Even if Wu Da Ying did something wrong, it has nothing to do with Fourth Brother. You should apologize to Fourth Brother."

Thirteen's figure walked over.

The Ninth Prince turned his head and crossed his arms, looking at the Thirteenth Prince and sneered:

"Thirteen, he didn't say anything, but you got anxious. What else..."

His eyes rolled and a malicious look appeared on his face.

"Since Wu Ying was demoted, your mother, Concubine Min, has the highest position in Yonghe Palace. Are you secretly happy in your heart?"

"I don't!"

The Thirteenth Prince's face turned red with anger, and he was about to step forward to argue with the Ninth Prince. At this time, the Fourth Prince came over and raised his hand to stop him.

When the Thirteenth Prince turned around and saw that it was his Fourth Brother, he thought that he really believed what the Ninth Brother said, and he became even more anxious.

"Fourth brother, I didn't..."

"I know."

The Fourth Prince reached out and patted the Thirteenth Prince's arm, interrupting him, then looked at the Ninth Prince.

"It seems that Ninth Brother has forgotten what it means to be friendly and respectful to brothers..." Without waiting for Ninth Prince to speak, Fourth Prince raised his thin lips into an icy arc and said coldly:

"Instead of having so much free time to gossip about right and wrong, why not go to Yikun Palace more often to visit Concubine Yi?"

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere became quiet again. Everyone knew that Concubine Yi had been bedridden for the past two years, and her condition was getting worse day by day. It seemed that she didn't have much time left. The Fourth Prince's words obviously hit the nail on the head for the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he looked at the Fourth Prince with sinister eyes. The Fourth Prince had a blank expression on his face, and his whole body was cold.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:

"What are you all standing here for? It's time for class."

I don't know when the prince arrived. Everyone stood up to greet him. The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince also bowed. The prince walked past everyone to a seat in the front and said calmly:

"Get up."

At this time, the Mongolian language teacher came over with a book, and everyone returned to their seats. The storm seemed to have passed, but the Fourth Prince was not at peace.

How could my mother be suddenly demoted by the emperor? And how did Fourteen fall into the water? Is he seriously injured? Is he awake now?

Doubts arose in his mind one after another, and he thought of the fact that Fu Jin and Shi Rongyue had also entered the palace today. For some reason, he had a vague guess in his heart that Shi Rongyue was related to his mother's accident.

When he thought of Shi Rongyue, he remembered that after she woke up from a difficult labor, her temperament changed drastically and she finally became dignified and well-behaved. But she actually told him that it was her mother who caused her to fall on the way to the Cining Palace to pay her respects when she was pregnant, and that her difficult labor was also related to her mother.

How is this possible? How could my mother harm Shi Rongyue? She is pregnant with her first grandchild.

He didn't believe it, but it still left a trace in his heart. In the next two years, he asked the newly established Sticking Rod Department to investigate while carefully observing.

He discovered that his mother seemed to treat Hong'an very well and valued him very much. She often asked Fujin and Shi Rongyue to bring him into the palace, and gave him lavish rewards, showing that she liked him very much.

But Hong'an was weak and couldn't go out often. As a result, his body, which was already prone to illness, fell ill even more frequently.

In addition, the Sticky Rod Department also found some clues, so he really believed Shi Rongyue's words.

Today, my mother got into trouble and Shi Rongyue was here. She has always been resentful towards my mother. In the past two years, she has been very successful in business and has trained many servants to serve her. Could this incident be related to her?

With this suspicion in mind, the Fourth Prince rushed back home as soon as the class was over. He sent away the servants from the main courtyard who were waiting at the door and went straight to Shi Rongyue's residence.

"Shi Rongyue, what happened in the palace today? Why was my mother demoted? How is Fourteen? Does this have anything to do with you?"

The Fourth Prince waved away the servants and looked straight at Shi Rongyue with his cold eyes.

Shi Rongyue was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair. Upon hearing this, she put down the comb and looked at the Fourth Prince with surprise.

"Fourth Master, how could you have such an idea? I do have resentment towards my mother, but she is my elder. Besides, how can I, a prince's wife, murder her under the nose of the emperor?"

He sighed and said,

With a sigh, he said:

"I also didn't expect that mother would use the Fourteenth Prince to win favor." As he said this, he told the Fourth Prince everything that happened in the palace today.

What's the point of not leaking the palace secrets? Who would know in private? Moreover, she must tell the Fourth Prince, letting him know that Uya is a vicious woman. In this way, when the Fourth Prince ascends the throne in the future, Uya will not be able to turn things around.

After hearing the whole story, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but take a step back, with a look of astonishment on his expressionless face. How could it be? The Fourteenth Prince was the treasure of Mother's heart, and she wanted to hold him in her palm. How could Mother use the Fourteenth Prince to compete for her favor?

But Shi Rongyue would not speak without a purpose. Combined with the emperor's fury, it was obvious that it was true. My mother...

She is truly a person who will do anything to achieve her goals, even using her own children. She is afraid that he is no longer of any use to her, so she doesn't like him, and therefore dislikes Hong'an as well, right?

Shi Rongyue watched the Fourth Prince leave in a hurry, picked up the wooden comb again, and gently combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror, with a happy smile on her lips.

Wuya, Wuya, as long as I, Shi Rongyue, am here, don't even think about relying on the Fourth Prince to turn things around. This is your revenge for harming me and Hong'an!

No matter what major events occurred, life had to go on. The next day, the first day of March, the selection of concubines in the 33rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign officially began. Today was also the day for paying respects twice a month.

Chuxiu Palace.

Concubine Rong looked sad.

"Oh, I remember that my sister Wu was still here half a month ago, but she is missing this time. How unpredictable things really are."

Shi Nanxi picked up the teacup and said softly:

"Things in the world are indeed unpredictable. As for Sister Wu's matter, the Emperor has already made a decision. Let's talk about today's selection."

Rong Fei came back to her senses after hearing this, and then she found that the concubines below her had pricked up their ears. She immediately understood and followed Shi Nanxi's words and said:

"Speaking of the selection, I have to choose a concubine for the Third Prince this time. By the way, I heard that Concubine Xian also has a concubine who is participating in the selection this time?"

Hearing this, everyone looked over.
