The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 130 Another conspiracy?

The imperial edict was issued, the dust settled, and the princes' originally hanging hearts finally died down. This Nianhulu had become a woman in the emperor's harem, and was no longer something they could covet.

Kangxi did not treat his sons badly. The younger ones were given legitimate wives, and the older ones also had princesses in the harem. For the eldest prince, the emperor directly asked Concubine Hui to pick two easy-to-give-a-children. Among the married princes, only the eldest prince still had no son. Although the eldest prince was not anxious, the emperor, as the emperor's father, was a little anxious.

Yinreng didn't escape this time, or rather, Kangxi, intent on making things difficult for Yinreng, sent two Han army banner princesses to Yuqing Palace without warning. The two beauties had just entered Yuqing Palace when Yinreng ordered them to be imprisoned in the long-unused backyard before Buerhe could even begin making arrangements.

The servants of Yuqing Palace were all old and used to the backyard. Seeing the backyard reopened, they began to feel anxious. They still remembered the scene a few years ago when all the women in the backyard were forcibly sent away by the prince.

After talking about Yinreng, Kangxi did not leave out the third and fourth princes in the backyard this time. He gave them all a princess. Only the fifth prince was given a concubine because Kangxi really couldn't stand the noisy backyard.

As soon as the eldest prince Yinzhi received the news that Nianhulu was conferred the title of noble lady, he smashed the small study. None of the staff in the room dared to step forward to stop him. They all stood quietly in the corner, waiting for Yinzhi to calm down.

Yinzhen: "This matter definitely involves the second brother. As for the so-called phoenix destiny, I don't believe that the second brother didn't get the news. But these people just hid the second and fourth brothers and took away all of them."

The staff remained silent, but their brainwaves were constantly communicating: "This is the Emperor's eldest prince. He's brave but lacks intelligence. Following such a master who refuses to listen to advice and insists on his own way, can he succeed in the future? Or is there even a possibility of success?"

Even if these people have already realized that the eldest prince is not capable of achieving great things, they can no longer escape. They have been in the game for a long time. From the moment they became the eldest prince's staff, from the moment they followed the eldest prince to give him advice, they have been labeled as the eldest prince, and this label cannot be washed away in this lifetime.

At this time, the only way out is to go all the way and continue to support the eldest prince in fighting the prince. Only if the eldest prince succeeds, they and their families will have a chance of survival.

At this moment, one of the aides stepped forward and offered advice to the eldest prince: "Master, regardless of whether the Crown Prince was involved in this round, or whether he was the mastermind behind it, we have lost this round. The past cannot be reversed. The first thing we should do now is to ensure your position and trust in the Emperor. Seeing that the Crown Prince's position in the Emperor's heart is becoming increasingly solid, and the Fourth Prince is willingly following him, we must guard against such forces."

I don't know if the prince has come to his senses in the past two years or what. He originally had no desire to compete, and even his mother's family, Hesheli, had given up on him. But now he is followed by a large number of staunch prince's party members. The key point is that these so-called prince's party members have no relationship with the prince. They are willing to support him just because he holds the position of prince.

In this situation, they have no excuse to report that the other party is forming a clique for personal gain, because they are only following the emperor's orders, supporting the prince and supporting orthodoxy.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince Yinzhen stopped what he was doing and looked at the staff member who was speaking while holding a large vase: "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing that Yinzhen was willing to calm down and listen to his advice, the staff member was secretly pleased: "Master, since we lost to a woman in the last round, let's let the Crown Prince also taste the feeling of being lost to a woman this time."

Seeing the sinister look on his staff's face, Yinzhen became interested: "Tell me more. If it suits my taste, kill the second brother. After the deed is done, I will give you a promotion."

Hearing the eldest prince's promise, the staff member became even more excited. Although the eldest prince's brain was not very good, he also had his strengths, that is, he was a man of his word and would definitely do what he promised. When the staff member thought that this idea he had come up with could not only severely hit the prince, but also help him get promoted, his hands trembled with excitement.

He took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts: "There are several concubines entering the harem this year. I heard that they are all Han army flags and are very beautiful. What do you think? If the emperor catches the prince having sex with a concubine, will he let the prince go?

"Use the Crown Prince's incident to shake the Crown Princess's mind. I heard that the Crown Princess is pregnant now. Master, tell me, if the Crown Princess hears the news of the Crown Prince and the Emperor's concubine having an affair while she is still mentally unstable, will she be able to keep the baby?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around gasped. This method was too vicious. This kid was too cruel. How did the Crown Prince offend this kid? He could actually come up with such a sinister idea. If this thing succeeded, not only would the Emperor dislike the Crown Prince, but even everyone in Yuqing Palace would be implicated.

Although they and the prince's faction were always targeting him, they had never reached out to the backyard, let alone harm innocent children. This staff member's actions were truly against the will of heaven and unscrupulous.

At that moment, several people who had been close to this staff member all quietly took a few steps back. Such a cruel and ruthless person should not be made friends with, because you never know when he will bite you back and leave you with no place to bury your body.

The eldest prince didn't say anything, but instead put down the vase in his hand and walked back to his seat without saying a word. Seeing that the eldest prince seemed to be persuaded, the other staff members quickly intervened, "Master, this is absolutely not allowed. When two armies engage in battle, they don't kill envoys or harm women and children. This is a rule passed down for thousands of years. If we break this rule first, then we will be in the wrong."

"Yes, yes, Master. The disputes of the previous dynasty were a matter between men. They had nothing to do with the women and children in the harem. Even in the current era of nine clans being executed, children under six years old are exempt. How can we harm innocent fetuses because of a dispute between two sides?"

When Yinzhen heard the other aides' objections, he thought of the good impression his wife and daughters had of the Crown Princess, and for a moment he couldn't bring himself to bring harm to others. Besides, the fight between him and the second son was more about the Emperor's favor, and really had little to do with the harem.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop and said, "We can imagine how to implement the first suggestion, but there is really no need to bother with the second one. My second brother's wife and two little nephews and nieces are innocent. There is no need to involve them because of the affairs between us men."

Yinzhi had spoken, and even if the aide was unwilling, he had to give up and follow Yinzhi's instructions to go back and figure out how to improve the first suggestion.

The remaining staff gathered to discuss today's situation. "That Li Rulin has gone mad. He actually dared to come up with such a sinister idea, and even instigated the eldest prince to do it. If this is discovered, he will lose his head, and even his entire family may be implicated."

"What's the origin of this kid? He's only been in the mansion for less than two months and he's already become our master's confidant. If we hadn't strongly dissuaded him today, I'm sure the master would have chosen to use both methods at the same time."

"We can't keep this kid. He's a nuisance. Now is the time when we should be taking steady steps. Such reckless thinking will only hinder us. If he succeeds, it won't matter. But if he fails, he hasn't considered that none of us, his staff, will be able to escape."

Everyone agreed, but even if they all opposed it, looking at the eldest prince's expression, most of them believed Li Rulin. They were just staff members who gave advice and had no real power. It would be really difficult to drive away or get rid of Li Rulina in a short period of time.

They were teasing Li Rulin behind his back. Li Rulin went back to his room and was thinking about how to kick out these troublesome staff members. His next plan was much more vicious than today's. If every time he proposed it, it was opposed and could not be implemented, then how could he avenge his great hatred?

Li Rulin was a rather insignificant figure, the younger brother of Li Gege, the previous Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince had sent all the women from the harem away, he hadn't cared about them any more, and had simply let them live in the imperial farm.

These were once noble ladies, and even if their status was not that high, they still had servants to serve them at home. However, they were sent directly to the imperial farm, and their allowances were deducted without any care. In the end, they were in a situation where they could not eat unless they worked.

How could these delicate princesses endure being transformed from the prince's wife into a person even lower than a palace maid? In just six months, most of the princesses who were originally sent to the palace had passed away, and only two were left struggling to hold on, hoping that someone would come to rescue them.

Li Gege was one of those who did not survive more than half a year. Unfortunately, after she was sent to the imperial farm, the Li family also suffered a devastating disaster. Her father was slandered for corruption and beheaded that month, and her mother died soon after. In the end, only her younger brother Li Rulin, who was originally preparing for the imperial examination, escaped.

A few months ago, someone found Li Rulin and told him the whole story. They then took him to the imperial manor to confront the two remaining princesses. After learning the "truth" of the matter, Li Rulin entered the eldest prince's mansion as an aide, looking for an opportunity to overthrow the crown prince.

While the eldest prince's residence was planning how to overthrow the crown prince, in Yuqing Palace, Buerhe and Yinreng were also worried about how to explain the matter of the two Han army banner princesses to Hongye and Jingyi.

Hong Yeyue Jingyi is not very old, and is just four years old this year. Although other princes have a lot of concubines and princesses in the harem, the brother and sister have never experienced the situation where other people come between their mother and their mother.

At first, the brother and sister thought that the two beautiful and delicate young ladies were just guests in Yuqing Palace like the Seventh and Ninth Princesses before them. However, when they found out that not only did they not go back after dark, but they even moved into the back courtyard openly, they became unhappy on the spot.

They have no relatives or friends, and were not invited to Yuqing Palace by their mother and father. How can they stay in Yuqing Palace all the time? Especially when they occupy the back yard, which the brother and sister originally planned to convert into a new residence for their future younger brother or sister?

When the brother and sister came to Yinreng and his wife to mention this issue, Bu Erhe and Yinreng looked at each other, not knowing where to start.

After a brief exchange of glances, Yinreng spoke first: "Ahem, those two in the back courtyard were bestowed by your Majesty. There's no way they can be driven away. They've been staying in the back courtyard for a while now. I won't let them out to cause a disturbance. You just have to be patient for a while. When little brother comes out, I promise they won't be in Yuqing Palace anymore."

Jingyi opened her big, innocent eyes and said, "But, Father, why can't we let them go now? This is our home. It wouldn't be comfortable for those two outsiders to stay here."

Yinreng was at his wit's end and could only look at Buerhe for help. Buerhe rolled his eyes helplessly and had to take over the conversation: "Those are the concubines given to your father by your royal mafia. This will also be their home in the future. You can't just chase them away."

Hongye: "Concubines? Are they like the ones in Third Uncle's backyard? Will they also give birth to little brothers to steal Father's favor from me and my sister? Will Mother also shed tears in the future, and will we not see Father for a long time?"

Buerhe didn't expect Hongye to say such a thing. Is Hongqing's life in the mansion so miserable? The third brother's wife is not a person with such a personality. Why is the third brother bullying them like this in the mansion?

However, at this moment, Bu Erhe had no time to pay attention to the things happening in the Sanfujin Mansion. She had to explain things clearly to the brother and sister, otherwise it would be bad for the two children to have psychological trauma.

Bu Erhe: "The two princesses in the back courtyard are rewards given by your emperor. Thunder, thunder, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, and rewards must stay in Yuqing Palace. As for whether there will be other little brothers born to compete with you for favor in the future, that is something for your father to decide. As for shedding tears, I believe that mother is a strong person and will not cry for this." After saying this, Bu Erhe could not help but touch the top of the two children's heads.

Yinreng became anxious after hearing Buerhe's explanation: "Don't listen to what your mother just said. That's nonsense. Ama will only be with your mother in this life. Even if we have little brothers and sisters, they will only be from the same mother. No one else will come to break up our family, and Ama will not stop loving you."

Hongye and Jingyi saw that Yinreng's solemn oath did not seem to be fake, but to be on the safe side they still asked: "Do you swear?"

Yinreng was helpless: "Okay, I swear, everything I just said is true."

After the oath was made, Hongye and Jingyi finally smiled, picked up the text they had learned today, and while reviewing, they gave prenatal education to their younger brother in their mother's belly.
