She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Chapter 368: Startling Steps 15

At this time, the prince and Liang Jiugong both stood there with their heads lowered.

Therefore, the two of them could not see Kangxi's face.

There is no way of knowing what expression the emperor had at this moment.

However, although they could not see the change in Kangxi's expression, they could tell from his meaningful and somewhat angry words.

The two of them were still keenly aware of the dissatisfaction hidden deep in his heart.

It is like undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface of a lake. Although it appears calm on the surface, it can cause huge waves if you are not careful.

This implicit yet strong emotional fluctuation made the whole scene suddenly become solemn.

Just as the two were thinking about how to liven up the atmosphere, Kangxi spoke again.

"I do remember that the wife that the Eighth Elder married was Guo Luoluo.

But among the two women I just saw, who was the other one besides Guo Luoluo?"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, with undercurrents surging in his eyes.

No one had ever spoken out the princes' thoughts in the palace so bluntly in front of him.

I don't know if this woman is just bold or stupid? Or is she both bold and stupid?

The eunuch Liang Jiugong who was standing nearby bowed quickly in response.

“Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince did marry Guo Luoluo, who was born in Prince An’s mansion.

As for the beautiful lady in the pink Manchu dress, she was Mingyuegege, the younger sister of the Eighth Lady.

The other woman in a yellow Manchu dress is from the Maertai family. She is the younger sister of the Eighth Prince’s concubine and her name is Maertai Ruoxi.”

Liang Jiugong quickly replied that Kangxi didn't need to remember this basic information, but he had to remember it so that if Kangxi asked about it at a critical moment, he could answer it immediately.

Not to mention Mingyu, she grew up in the capital and her background is not simple, Liang Jiugong naturally knows about it.

And Ruoxi, this girl who has been hanging around the princes and making a lot of noise since she entered the capital, how could Liang Jiugong be completely unaware of Ruoxi?

So when Kangxi asked, Liang Jiugong quickly told him the two people's life stories.

However, given that Kangxi didn't know Ruoxi well, Liang Jiugong was somewhat hesitant as to whether or not to disclose the relationship between Ruoxi and the princes.

This is not an accusation, but although Kangxi did not pay much attention to all his sons.

But as a eunuch beside him, Liang Jiugong also acted as Kangxi's eyes at certain times.

After all, the emperor has so many national affairs to worry about, so it is natural that he will neglect some things.

At this time, Liang Jiugong's role was reflected.

Therefore, after much thought, he finally decided to focus on Ruoxi's matter.

"Your Majesty, I have heard a lot about Princess Ruoxi these days."

"Oh?"

There was a gleam of light in Kangxi's eyes. Liang Jiugong specifically brought it up, so he thought that there must be something unusual about this girl from the Maertai family.

He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly forward, his eyes looking at the scenery in the imperial garden.

It seemed as if he was admiring this rare scenery. If no one approached the three people, no one would know that he was listening to Liang Jiugong's report.

As for the Crown Prince, after he confirmed Ruoxi's identity on the birthday of the Tenth Prince, he secretly investigated Ruoxi thoroughly.

Therefore, he also wanted to hear what Liang Jiugong said about Ruoxi.

Liang Jiugong paused for a moment, and when he saw that Kangxi did not stop him, he knew that the prince was tacitly allowed to sit in on the discussion.

Then he said, "Since Princess Ruoxi came to the capital, she has become good friends with the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince.

Especially the Tenth Prince... Among them, the Fourth Prince... and the Thirteenth Prince... "

Kangxi listened quietly to what Ruoxi and the princes said without saying a word.

He did not say anything until Liang Jiugong finished speaking. He just led the two of them slowly towards the banquet hall.

Mingyu and Ruoxi walked in together. This scene made Minghui and Ruolan, who were sitting in the hall, startled and looked a little surprised.

Especially Ruolan, when she caught a glimpse of Ruoxi's slightly dazed face, worry in her heart instantly surged into her heart like a tide.

You know, this is the imperial palace, the most honorable place in the world.

In this palace inner courtyard with strict security and complicated rules, one could make a big mistake if one is not careful.

If Ruoxi caused any trouble here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not to mention that it would be difficult for her to escape, even the Eighth Prince, who was highly regarded by the Emperor, might not have enough ability to protect her.

When that time really comes, Ruolan really can't imagine what kind of miserable fate her sister will face.

Therefore, when Ruoxi just approached, Ruolan hurriedly pulled out a delicate handkerchief from her sleeve, carefully covered her mouth with it, and asked Ruoxi quietly in a low voice.

"Ruoxi, what's wrong with you? You look so bad, did something happen?"

Ruoxi saw the worry on her sister's face and immediately came to her senses.

He quickly comforted her, "Sister, I'm fine. It's just my first time in the palace, and I'm shocked by the splendor of these palaces."

Ruolan felt relieved when she thought about how she had the same reaction when she first entered the palace.

However, thinking about the fact that Ruoxi had just been summoned by Concubine Yi, she asked worriedly.

"When you went to Yikun Palace just now, did Concubine Yi give you any instructions?"

Ruoxi had no idea why Concubine Yi wanted to see her?

The other three princes, eighty, ninety, and ten, knew the truth. The ninth prince knew it because the tenth prince asked him for help.

With the Eighth Prince's intelligence and shrewdness, he could guess it at once.

In fact, during this period of time together, Ruoxi's personality, which was different from that of ordinary ancient women, attracted the attention of many princes.

After all, she was so vivid, which was really novel to the princes who were used to seeing ladies from wealthy families and beautiful girls from ordinary families.

Among them, the Eighth Prince, who often meets and spends the most time with Ruoxi, is of course no exception.
