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

Chapter 533 Sorry

"How old is Thirteen? It's time to fight," the Fourth Master disagreed. "I'm putting more pressure on him for his own good."

When the eldest brother returns from the battlefield with military merit, he will definitely be made a prince.

He also thought that in order for Thirteen to be able to put pressure on the eldest boss, he naturally had to make achievements before he could do anything.

Lin Mingyan smiled slyly, "Then those two volunteered to help. In the end, Thirteen had less work to do, so didn't he still get the credit?"

This is why she didn't go to the Fourth Master and ask him to assign tasks to the Ninth and Tenth Masters.

The Fourth Master is a straightforward person. If he likes someone, he likes him. If he doesn’t like someone, he thinks it’s unnecessary to even look at him.

This is not only reflected in his treatment of the women in the backyard, but also in his interactions with people in the previous dynasty.

In the past, under the pressure of Emperor Kangxi, he hit the wall several times and finally learned to be more tactful.

But then Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne without him. Now I am the best in the world, so why should I consider other people's feelings?

Just use whoever you don’t want to use. If you don’t like it, just stay away!

Hearing Lin Mingyan say this, he felt that he had used his younger brothers for nothing and did not even have to respect their secret pleasure.

"Ahem~~That's a bit of bullying," the Fourth Master felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Mingyan chuckled: "That's just because the ninth and tenth brothers are sensible."

Moreover, she knew the Fourth Master's temper. If these two really had no complaints and did their job conscientiously, the Fourth Master would not treat them unfairly in the future.

The Fourth Master thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case, so he didn't say anything else and waited to see how the two would perform.

Lin Mingyan took the opportunity to say, "We can't be too harsh on Thirteen. A while ago, Zhao Jia came to the palace to talk to me, and during our casual chat, I learned that Thirteen's legs didn't seem to be in good condition."

"Huh? The imperial physician's pulse is safe every ten days, so how could his legs be in trouble?" The Fourth Master became concerned.

He has always liked reading medical books, and often read the pulse records of Lin Mingyan and the children as entertainment.

As his most valued younger brother, he would take a look at Thirteen's pulse records from time to time, but he had never seen any record of his legs and feet being in bad condition.

These quacks can't even see this?

Lin Mingyan sighed and said, "I heard that when Thirteen was in the beekeeping lane, he was not only imprisoned, but he was also forced to kneel from morning till night, which is why his knees were injured."

"When the imperial physician examined my pulse, Thirteen couldn't say..."

Emperor Kangxi is both the emperor and the father. If Thirteenth Prince dares to say that he broke his legs by kneeling, he would be unfaithful and unfilial.

The Fourth Master hadn't expected this to happen. He frowned and said, "So you're not going to watch it?"

"Why not? But the imperial physician doesn't have any other good prescriptions except acupuncture and hot spring baths," Lin Mingyan explained.

"After all, my knee is already injured, and the treatment is taking a long time to take effect. Plus, I'm so busy, I definitely won't be able to recover in a short time."

Knees wear out slowly as you age and use them for longer periods of time.

This damage is irreversible.

If you really want Thirteen to be in better shape, it would be best to let him rest and recuperate at home for three to five years.

But neither the Fourth Master nor Thirteen himself would agree to it.

The Fourth Master felt a little uncomfortable: "It was my fault for neglecting it. I am sorry for Thirteen."

In the past six months, he has treated Thirteen like a beast of burden. Even when he had some time to rest, Thirteen had no rest at all.

Now he really has to consider making good use of the Ninth and Tenth Brothers, so that at least Thirteen can have a break.

Since the Ninth and Tenth Brothers got something to do, they have been working very hard and diligently without any complaints.

There were also some curious people who saw that these two gentlemen were busy for a long time but got nothing, so they came over to watch the show.

But these two guys, who used to have hot tempers, never had an argument with anyone.

Anyway, the two of them just started talking. No matter what outsiders said, they just focused on their work.

You can't suffer and still get a bad reputation with the Emperor.

Wouldn't that mean you'd lose both face and dignity?

When Concubine Yi heard about it in the palace, she was heartbroken, but she could only say that the Ninth Prince had become sensible.

She now regrets in her heart why she competed with Concubine De for so long when she was young.

Now the fourth son has come to the throne and is said to be the queen's legitimate son, but that son is still her biological mother after all, so she must be respected.

When Emperor Kangxi changed the Fourth Prince's imperial edict, she even went out of her way to mock Concubine De.

Now that I think about it, I really had no brains at all.

The one who suffered the loss was her own son.

When the Fifth Master came to the palace to pay his respects to her, she was all scornful and said, "As an older brother, you should at least give your younger brother a hand."

"I heard from Lao Jiu's family that he is busy until midnight every day before returning home, and when he gets home he is so tired that he falls asleep immediately."

"As a brother, how can you be so ashamed to sit around like this every day?"

Wu Ye came in kindly to talk to her, but before he could open his mouth he ate a lot of food, touched his nose and smiled bitterly to himself.

He usually doesn't get involved in the brothers' disputes, but that also means that he doesn't have much friendship with the Emperor.

He himself was not very good at Chinese studies, and he had even less skills to do his job.

Even if His Majesty dared to use him, he would not dare to take the job.

He had long since come to terms with the fact that his life was destined to be a leisurely member of the royal family.

Now his mother is calling him useless, and she is right.

He muttered, "Mother, it's no use relying on my son."

"You usually have so many ideas, why don't you think of a way to help your brother?"

He has always felt that his mother was very capable since he was a child. If she had not been born as a woman, she might have been able to achieve something great in her career.

Concubine Yi was so angry at his rebuke that she choked up and said, "Go away, go back and play with your son!"

When the Fifth Master heard her words, he knew that she was not lonely at all in the deep palace, so he left in a hurry.

When the palace quieted down, Concubine Yi felt that what the Fifth Master said was quite right.

She was not a woman without vision, and she was well aware of the Emperor's fear of him.

Lao Jiu wants to be reused. It is one thing for him to fight for it himself, but it would be even better if his mother could really help him.

Now in the palace, among Emperor Kangxi's concubines, Defei and Rongfei have taken some young concubines out of the palace to take care of the task of educating orphaned girls.

Only she, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Tong, three high-ranking concubines, were still in the palace.

Concubine Tong has no children and is the sister of Queen Tong, so she can live a good life just by sitting back and relaxing.

But Concubine Hui was different. She was still thinking about enjoying the blessing of her son.

The Prince of Zhi already had military merits. If he really succeeded in defeating Japan this time, wouldn’t he have made an unprecedented contribution to expanding the territory?

If one's achievements surpass his boss', how can the person above him sit in peace?

Concubine Yi turned her attention to Concubine Hui in the palace.

I'm sorry, I feel sorry for whoever's son he is.
