She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Ruoxi looked at Mingyu's confused and helpless expression, and a nameless anger surged in her heart, as if she was being unreasonable.

She took a deep breath and decided not to beat around the bush and instead to make things clearer.

Ruoxi straightened up and stared at Mingyu.

"Everyone knows that Fu Jin is unhappy because my sister is favored by the Eighth Prince.

But no matter what, my sister is at least a legitimate concubine!

Fu Jin put her in solitary confinement without saying a word, and even instructed the servants to secretly deduct my sister's daily food and clothing expenses.

Isn't it a bit too much for her to do this? Isn't she afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?"

At this point, Ruoxi's voice unconsciously rose a few notches, and it was obvious that she could no longer suppress her inner anger and dissatisfaction.

Mingyu was speechless after hearing this, "Ruoxi, isn't it because of you that Concubine Fu Jin was put in solitary confinement? How can you blame Concubine Fu Jin?

Whether it's being locked up or being fined, there are reasons for all of this, and I'm sure you know the reasons yourself."

Ruoxi seemed a little short of breath and felt guilty at this time, and she argued: "I just went out that one time. Everyone has their own responsibility. It is obvious that Fu Jin took the opportunity to make trouble and take revenge."

When Mingyu heard Ruoxi's childish remarks, she couldn't help but wonder if she had used too thick a filter for the heroine in the past?

"Fujin is just following the rules. If this is considered revenge, then doesn't that mean everyone in the world is taking revenge?

Moreover, even the Eighth Prince at the time had no objection to the treatment of you and the concubine. If you have objections to this, why don't you explain it to the Eighth Prince and only blame my sister?"

Ruoxi was angered by Mingyu's nonchalant attitude. When she saw Mingyu using the Eighth Prince as a shield, she became so angry that she spoke without restraint.

"The Eighth Prince has great ambitions, but he didn't speak out because of the power behind his wife. Otherwise, do you think..."

"shut up!"

Mingyu interrupted Ruoxi's urgent words. Who can't see the ambitions of the princes? But the prince is still here, so this is extremely treasonous.

There are many things that can be done but cannot be said.

As a modern person, you can certainly comment on history at will, but when you are in the midst of that history, you must learn to keep your mouth shut.

"Ruoxi, I hope you understand that this is not Xian! Not the northwest, not the Maertai family, but the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the capital.

No matter where you go, you must abide by the rules of that place. I think you should understand this simple truth."

Mingyu didn't argue loudly, but she wasn't prepared to spoil Ruoxi either.

She really couldn't figure it out. Ruoxi was also a white-collar worker in modern times. She should be in her twenties and should have the necessary brains.

However, Ruoxi has been here for some time, but she seems to have never adapted to this feudal society. Instead, she still persists in her own modern lifestyle.

Even when facing those princes, she did not realize the gap in status and the danger between them.

Mingyu didn't want to get entangled with Ruoxi anymore and was about to leave, but Ruoxi stubbornly pulled her sleeve and was still struggling with the previous question.

"But no matter how much you deduct from your monthly salary, you can't guarantee food, clothing and other expenses, right?"

"I think you should ask your sister about this question. How can you guarantee your food, clothing and other expenses?

Instead of letting you discuss the affairs of the Eighth Prince's Mansion in front of an outsider like me.

After all, you are a guest at the Eighth Prince's residence, and I don't even live there. It would be a bit inappropriate for the two of us, outsiders, to discuss this."

Mingyu spoke the last sentence with extra emphasis, worried that Ruoxi might not understand, so she tried to inquire about Ruoxi's expression without leaving any trace.

Fortunately, Ruoxi is not stupid. Mingyu's next words finally made her reason come back. Afterwards, Ruoxi was a little dazed, as if she was shocked by Mingyu's words, or perhaps she was annoyed by her own recklessness just now. After all, she nodded to Mingyu hastily and left quickly.

Because there is a banquet in the palace today, not many people visit the garden at this time. In addition, Ruoxi doesn't know Mingyu well.

That's why Mingyu was saying all this to Ruoxi. Otherwise, she would just have to say some polite words and get away with it.

But now there was no one else here, so Mingyu didn't hide it anymore.

However, compared to Ruoxi's guilty conscience and bluffing attitude, Mingyu, who is emotionally stable and speaks calmly, is even more eye-catching.

No one noticed the person hidden by the flowers on the other side of the imperial garden.

Crown Prince Yinreng was supposed to go to the palace with Kangxi today.

However, during this period, because he showed an image of being power-averse,

And his admiration for Kangxi was repeatedly refreshed by Kangxi.

Success made Kangxi feel like he had returned to his youth.

At that time, he was the omnipotent father in front of the children, instead of the old man who is now frail and always worried about the transfer of power in his hands.

Fortunately, the prince had an idea this year, otherwise he would have been deposed.

The prince, who had regained Kangxi's favor, was successfully kept in the Qianqing Palace by Kangxi today.

He was given the supreme right to read memorials to Kangxi, although these memorials were just some very boring memorials of greeting.

But considering Kangxi's past vigilance towards the crown prince, this was already a very obvious improvement.

Therefore, thanks to Kangxi's temporary decision, the conversation between Ruoxi and Mingyu was clearly heard by Kangxi and the prince on the other side of the flowers.

Of course, there was also Liang Jiugong, the most popular eunuch in the Kangxi Dynasty, who was always by his side.

Liang Jiugong didn't expect that just by serving the emperor and the prince on a casual stroll, he would hear the eighth prince's ambition from two little girls in a corner of the imperial garden.

He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head. Even though he was the most respected eunuch around Kangxi, he still avoided such a big event as the battle for the throne among the princes.

He could understand that the princes were ambitious. After all, they were all the emperor's sons and no one wanted to be inferior to the other. But this also indirectly showed the princes' delusion of power.

Having been Kangxi's slave for so many years, although he didn't know what Kangxi really thought, he served Kangxi closely every day, so if he couldn't detect Kangxi's attitude, that would be a problem.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is unwilling to transfer power, whether it is the crown prince or the other princes.

But then again, if the emperor doesn't even allow the crown prince, his most beloved son, to do whatever he wants, how could he allow others to do so?

Not to mention that it was the Eighth Prince, whom he had never considered before.

Now that the Eighth Prince's ambition has been revealed in front of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, no one knows whether it is a blessing or a curse?

At this time, the place where the three of them were was quiet. Liang Jiugong didn't dare to speak, and the prince didn't want to speak.

In his previous life, he wanted power. Apart from his own inner desire for power, it was largely due to the influence of the princes below him.

Although he is excellent, his younger brothers are no fools either, and many of them know how to please the old man. While they try their best on the surface, they also use many tricks in secret.

However, as the crown prince, he was also an obvious target. With everyone working against him together, how could he not be worried? In addition, as Kangxi grew older, he became increasingly reluctant to give up the power in his hands.

How could the prince withstand the attack from Kangxi and other princes alone?

So now, as it was a rare occasion that someone spoke highly of the Eighth Prince in front of Kangxi, the Crown Prince was secretly delighted but remained silent.

Kangxi looked at the two beautiful figures leaving in the distance and said something meaningful.

"Old Eight..."
