No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

This was the first time Lin Mingyan saw Kangxi. She didn't dare to look up, but she observed him quietly with her peripheral vision for a while.

My first thought was: I don’t see any obvious pockmarks on his face.

This solved the doubts she had had after reading novels for so many years, and her face showed a little excitement.

Emperor Kangxi certainly felt his daughter-in-law's gaze, but he was no longer surprised by such things.

When you are the emperor, countless people will be curious about you.

Even if I don't dare to stare at each other when I meet them, I will still observe them secretly.

Of course he would observe back, but this was aboveboard.

"Reward," Emperor Kangxi thought his son had good taste.

He didn't understand this kind of exclusive love, but he respected it.

Emperor Kangxi was very busy, so he just drank a cup of tea and left.

The others had dinner in Yonghe Palace, but Fourteenth couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go back to the prince's residence immediately to show off his new shoes.

The Fourth Master somehow came to his senses and offered to take him there.

Only then did Lin Mingyan have the opportunity to enter the famous A'ge's residence.

When Fourteenth was sent to the prince's residence, he said goodbye and disappeared without a trace. He didn't even enter his own yard, but ran to someone else's.

Lin Mingyan heard his voice from a distance: "Thirteen, come and see..."

"Like a child." She couldn't stop laughing.

People in ancient times were actually quite precocious, and those born into royal families were even more precocious.

Fourteen has such a personality, half of which is due to his nature, and the other half is also intentional.

After all, children are annoying when they grow up, and only the lively and innocent youngest son can gain more favor from Emperor Kangxi.

The Fourth Master also understood, but he was a strong-willed person by nature and could not act in such a shameless and childish manner.

He turned around without looking again, but instead took Lin Mingyan to turn left and stood at the gate of a small courtyard.

"This is where I lived when I was in the palace. Now it should be the Tenth Prince who lives there," the Fourth Master's eyes looked distant, without any nostalgia, as if he was introducing a tourist attraction to Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan looked at it curiously and her first impression was that it was a little small.

The palace was already crowded, and it became even smaller with so many princes and their families living there.

However, this yard is considered to be the best among the surrounding yards.

After all, the Fourth Master is the Queen's adopted son, so he will definitely get the best share.

Moreover, the Tenth Master who lives here now is also the son of the Imperial Concubine, and has the highest status among this group of princes.

Lin Mingyan leaned close to the Fourth Master's ear and said, "Living in the palace is so oppressive. It would be strange if we didn't quarrel."

In such a small place, with so many wives and concubines, they would see each other everywhere. It would be strange if they didn't start fighting.

"It's true that it's not easy to live here. The ninth and tenth brothers' children are all old enough to run away. I guess they'll move out soon," the Fourth Master nodded, thinking that his wife was right.

When living in the palace, Fujin and the Li and Song families had fierce conflicts, but things got better after she left.

As they chatted, they went out of the palace. When they turned the corner of the Imperial Garden, they met the Eighth Master who had hurried into the palace.

No matter whether you have had any conflicts before, you still have to say hello when you meet your brothers.

Especially seeing that Mr. Ba was obviously a little anxious, his shoes were a little crooked when he ran.

The shoes at that time were not so comfortable to wear. If you ran a little faster, you might fall out.

But you are not allowed to run fast in the palace. I don’t know how the Eighth Master dared to run like that.

The Fourth Master then warned, "Old Eight, don't run too fast. Be careful not to bump into the ladies."

He meant well, but the usually gentle Eighth Master suddenly became angry: "My brother is in trouble!"

Fourth brother has been too proud lately and likes to act like the big brother in front of his younger brothers!

After saying this, Mr. Ba ignored him and walked away.

In front of his wife, he was contradicted by his younger brother, even though he had good intentions. The fourth master's smile disappeared completely.

Lin Mingyan thought that Old Eight had been mentioned again, but since he was still in the palace, she was afraid of gossip.

She tried to make amends, "Maybe something urgent happened. Shall we go back first?"

The Fourth Master was so angry that he almost smoked. Lin Mingyan took his hand and comforted him, and then he left the palace with her.

However, as soon as he left the palace and got on the carriage, he called Wei Yi and asked him to find out what was going on.

The Eighth Master was indeed anxious and unstable, after all, something had happened to his mother.

Wei was a patient person. She was so angry at Guo Luoluo that she fell seriously ill, but no news of her crime leaked out of the palace.

She thought that she would get better after enduring and recuperating, but this time the illness was intermittent and had no signs of improvement.

As a result, she didn't want her son to know even more, so whenever he came to pay his respects, he would put on full makeup despite his sick body and endure it.

Although the Eighth Master was puzzled as to why his mother was always ill, since Wei had been like this for years, he did not suspect much.

I just worked harder and bought a lot of supplements to show my filial piety.

Unexpectedly, Wei's health continued to decline.

This time it was Concubine Hui who discovered something was wrong. When she went to see Wei, she was already unconscious and her consciousness was blurred.

When the Eighth Master received the news, he rushed into the palace and saw the Fourth Master and his new wife being affectionate in the Imperial Garden. The fire of jealousy suddenly flared up.

His heart was burning with anger: Why did the Fourth Master have such good luck given his mother's status and position?

Then he thought, how nice it would be if Nianhulu was his wife.

Being able to give birth to seven legitimate sons for him, even if my mother couldn't survive, she would rest in peace in her grave, right?

In this way, you will sound sour and offend people when you open your mouth.

He ran for a while before realizing that he had said too harshly.

But it’s too late to regret now, so I can only focus on the more important things at the moment.

I'll go and apologize to my fourth brother later, he thought humbly.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the Yanx Palace, and Concubine Hui was already waiting for him.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from running, he quickly said, "Don't be so polite. Go to the side hall and see your mother."

The Eighth Master slowed down his pace, wiped his sweat, and asked, "Your Majesty, has the Imperial Physician come to see you? What did he say?"

"Alas, it's not a big deal. I'm just feeling depressed and worried," Concubine Hui said a few words and refused to say anything more.

They are mother and son, and daughter-in-law. Even if she knew something, she couldn't say much.

By the time their emotional knot is untied and they are still a harmonious and happy family, won't she be in a difficult position?

The Eighth Master didn't think about Guo Luoluo. He frowned and thought about all the recent events. He thought that it was the child's matter that made his mother worried.

My mother is now a concubine, and her status is slightly lower than that of the four concubines.

The four concubines are all elderly people who care about their reputation. They will not make things difficult for her because of their previous relationship.

The concubines below her had less experience, so they couldn't even gossip about her.

Then she is still unhappy, probably because she is worried about him as her son...
