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

Chapter 36: Third brother is so pitiful!

That night, Kangxi took all the people involved away. Because he trusted He Zhu and there were witnesses, Yinreng pleaded for He Zhu, but He Zhu was still beaten with twenty boards before returning to serve Yinreng. It's just that he couldn't walk smoothly recently and he limped. But He Zhu was grateful. The person who was guarding outside the door last night was his little apprentice Xiao Dezi, who he had arranged. He didn't expect that he would be pecked in the eye by a goose after hunting geese all day. Xiao Dezi actually got involved with the Cining Palace under his nose.

From that day on, He Zhu began to clean up the entire front yard without Yinreng's orders. Except for Kangxi's spies, all the rest that could be found out were sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

April 15th is the wedding day of the third prince in the palace, followed by the fourth prince in August, and the fifth prince will get married next year. Since the three brothers are not much different in age, and their wives are from the same batch of concubines, the wedding dates are scheduled not far away.

On April 14th, Yinreng went straight to the Ulanara household after the morning court session. It wasn't like he hadn't visited her in the past few days, but Burhe seemed to be enjoying herself at her parents' house. He mentioned returning to the palace several times, but Burhe's coquettishness kept him away. Tomorrow was his third brother's wedding, and Burhe knew he had to attend. So he didn't say anything more. He had already mentioned his return to the palace when Yinreng came yesterday.

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood after returning home, or maybe it was because the food cooked by the old lady really had such magical healing effects. Anyway, since Bullhe returned home, except for the first day when he felt a little nauseous and retching, he enjoyed eating everything in the rest of the days. Not only that, he also slept very soundly.

After nearly ten days of care, Bull's complexion is now fair and rosy, and you can tell at a glance that he is in extremely good health.

Seeing this, the prince was happy for Bull and Jiankang, and also excited that he didn't have to stay alone in his empty room. God knows how he has been spending these days. Ever since the incident that day, he asked the servants in the front yard to keep quiet, and he also returned to the main courtyard. From that day on, he only worked in the front yard, and even if it was late, he would go back to the back yard to stay.

It was still the familiar bedroom, but being alone in it still made him feel lonely at night, tossing and turning. Furthermore, he had to keep the previous incident a secret from Buerhe, and his elder brother had been increasingly active in the court recently, so he hadn't been able to rest well these days.

Bu Erhe also noticed that Yinreng was very tired recently, but since they had not yet left the Ulanara Mansion, she did not dare to ask any further questions. She just asked the servants to bring some bird's nest porridge and let Yinreng have a bowl first to relax for a while.

Seeing is believing, and the days since Burhe returned to her parents' home had completely dissuaded Jueluo from sending beauties to the Crown Prince and causing trouble for him. She had originally thought that Burhe's pregnancy would be inconvenient, so she asked her to promote a concubine from the Yuqing Palace or take the initiative to send beauties to the Crown Prince. However, recently, when Burhe returned to her parents' home, the Yuqing Palace had been sending gifts every day, whether it was new toys or delicious food, without fail.

The prince was the same. Whenever he was free, he would come to visit, and sometimes he would stay for an hour or two. Judging from the attitudes of Burhe and the maid, these things seemed very common and not worth being surprised at all. She was deeply aware of her daughter's favor, and also realized that Burhe was the master now. How could a servant make the decisions about the master's affairs?

After returning to Yuqing Palace and entering the main courtyard, Bu Erhe breathed a sigh of relief. His mother's home was good and comfortable to live in, but Yuqing Palace was his home after all, and he still felt at ease to be back home.

After settling down, Buerhe asked Yinreng, who had come to her side, with concern, "What happened to you these past few days? Didn't you get enough rest? I see you don't seem very energetic."

The servants in the room had long been dismissed by Yinreng. He no longer had the reserved manners he showed in front of others. He hugged Buerhe and whimpered, "I can't sleep alone when you leave. When you come back, Yuqing Palace will not have you either."

Buerhe heard that this person missed him, but had been holding it in because he had promised him that he would go back to his parents' home.

How could Buerhe let go of Yinreng after finally seeing him let go of his reserved side? She lifted Yinreng's head and happily kissed him twice, which made Yinreng, who was still complaining, blush instantly. His eyes rolled around and he didn't dare to look at Buerhe again.

Burhe was so amused by Yinreng's appearance that he couldn't help laughing out loud. Yinreng's face turned even redder. He wanted to get up and hide, but Burhe's next cry of pain froze him in place.

Yinreng: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Where does it hurt? He Zhu, go get the imperial physician."

Bu Erhe was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She was laughing so hard. Yinreng reacted at this moment and quickly reached out to touch Bu Erhe to help her get relief quickly. A group of palace maids gathered around and waited, fanning her and bringing her water.

Fortunately, Buerhe also knew that she should not have too much emotional fluctuation during pregnancy, so she adjusted herself quickly and the pain gradually eased. After drinking a glass of warm water, she nodded to Yinreng to indicate that she was fine.

Yinreng felt relieved only after hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis that it was nothing serious. However, he also called the servants and ordered them not to let the Crown Princess's emotions fluctuate too much and to keep an eye on her at all times.

After what happened with Bull, both of them were a little tired, so they didn't say anything else. They washed up and went to bed early.

The second day was a great day for the Third Prince. This time, Concubine Rong had asked the Emperor in advance, so his marriage was jointly discussed and handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Concubine Rong.

It was a coincidence that the wives chosen by Kangxi this time were also from the Dong E clan, but not from Peng Chun's branch. She was the daughter of the head of the Dong E family. Although she might not have had as prominent a position in the court as Peng Chun, as the head of a clan, he also had the power to support his daughter with all his clan's strength and become the backing of the third prince.

In this way, no matter how much Dong E in the Fourth Prince's backyard struggles, she will not be able to get the support of the Dong E clan, unless the Fourth Prince becomes the next emperor and Dong E directly becomes the empress.

But as it stands, one is the prince's wife, and the other is a princess in the harem. Moreover, the princess had a miscarriage two years ago when she was pregnant due to a fight in the harem, and has been infertile ever since.

With such an obvious contrast, the Dong E family is not stupid and will definitely give priority to supporting the Third Prince. Even if the daughter of Peng Chun in the Fourth Prince's backyard has repeatedly guaranteed it, it can be seen from the fact that Dong E's favor for the Fourth Prince's backyard has been gradually weakening in the past two years that this guarantee is really not convincing.

The fourth prince, the wife chosen by Kangxi this time was also from the Nara clan, with the full name Hada Nara. They lived in Hada for generations and moved to Shengjing after the Qing army entered the pass. They moved to the capital during the Shunzhi period.

They are related to the Burhe family. Although they have different names, they share the same ancestor, both of whom are descendants of Nazibulu. They are one of the four Hulun tribes of the Haixi Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty, and they originated from the Nara clan (Nara clan) and are a branch of the Nara clan.

Because at that time, only Mafa Bohucha was left in Burhe's branch, and she was raised in the deep palace. If Mama hadn't mentioned that the two families had a common ancestor, Burhe really didn't know that he and the Third Lady were cousins.

Although this cousin's father was not as favored by the emperor as Fei Yanggu, Hadanara was full of talents and held many official positions in the court. However, they were all middle and lower-level and not very conspicuous.

Kangxi had carefully considered his choice of Hada Nara. Of the three women in Yinzhen's harem, except for Li, who did not need attention, the other two were originally legitimate daughters of large families.

Especially that Shi, she was the eldest daughter of Duke Yongyi. If the Shi family had not yet grown up into a princess, Kangxi would never have spared her life when that incident happened.

As for Dong E, Kangxi's dislike for her was slightly less. She just didn't know the rules during the selection. Besides, the good men of the Dong E family were quite useful to him. In a few years, the princesses of the Dong E family would be old enough to participate in the selection. At that time, he could choose any one he liked to become the prince's wife, and the purpose of marrying into the Dong E family would be achieved.

The expedition is imminent, and I cannot let the little Dong E ruin my plans.

For the Fifth Lady, Kangxi chose Hetala again this time, but her father was no longer a small Yuanwailang. He was promoted by Kangxi to the rank of Vice Minister of the Third Grade. However, he was also transferred to the Ministry of Works because of this. It can be said that he was a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works for the rest of his life.

This was a suggestion from Yinreng and a decision made by Kangxi based on the fact that the Fifth Prince had been conscientiously completing the tasks assigned to him in recent years.

Originally, Kangxi thought that this fifth son was raised by the empress dowager and had the support of Mongolia. If he had a powerful wife's family, it would pose a threat to the prince. Unexpectedly, the prince was not afraid at all, and even said that his fifth brother was kind-hearted and honest.

Seeing that the prince trusted his younger brother so much, and not wanting his son to feel inferior, Kangxi agreed to the prince's proposal.

After the Fifth Prince Yinqi learned about this from the Empress Dowager, he listened to Yinreng even more. Taking into account the good jobs he had obtained in the previous two years, the current glory of the Ninth Prince, and the favor of his mother, he treated Yinreng as his own brother from then on and completely became a member of the Prince's Party.

This was something Yinreng never expected. He thought that if he didn't stop Yinqi this time, Yinqi would join the team to fight for the throne. He didn't expect that Yinqi was so honest and really didn't want to fight when he said he would.

After returning to the palace, the Third Prince lived in the middle courtyard of the first of the three southern residences, separated by a wall from the Fourth Prince and behind the First Prince's courtyard. Because Yinreng lived in Yuqing Palace, the first residence also housed the First, Third, and Fourth Princes. Next came the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Princes, who lived in the Second Residence, and the Tenth Prince in the Third Residence. As for the rest, they were still living with the concubines due to their young age and had not moved to the South Three Residences.

When Burhe arrived, it was still early, and the Third Prince was just about to welcome his bride. The First Wife, Irgen Jueluo, had already arrived in the main hall, and Burhe hurried to greet her. It had been some time since they last met, and upon seeing each other, they both felt a change. The First Wife wasn't as frail as before, and now there was color on her face. Although she moved a little slowly and still had some postpartum weakness, it was clear that she was getting better.

Bull's face was a little rosy, and I don't know if it was because he had eaten well recently or had a good rest, but his face seemed to be rounder and he looked more energetic.

Buerhe didn't let the eldest wife stand up to greet him. He quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and looked her over carefully. "It seems that my sister-in-law has listened carefully to my sister-in-law's advice. I see that you are much better now. What did the imperial physician say? Did he say when you will be fully recovered? Do you still have any ginseng?"

The eldest wife nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good, I feel much better now. The imperial physician also examined me and said that I need to recuperate because of the loss of Qi and blood after childbirth, but it's not a big deal. As long as I take good care of myself for two years, my body will recover. As for the ginseng, I have to thank the Crown Princess for the gift at that time. It was because of that ginseng that I recovered so quickly. Later, my sister-in-law from my mother's family heard the news and found two good ginsengs to send over. Now I have enough, so you can rest assured. I originally planned to go to Yuqing Palace to thank you when I felt better, but then I found out that you returned to Ulanara Mansion, so I thought I would wait for you to come back. I didn't expect that I could see you today because of my third brother's wife. Are you so happy back home that you don't want to leave?"

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Bu Erhe. She didn't expect that the eldest wife would be such a sister-in-law. Bu Erhe didn't know what expression to use to respond to her for a moment. It was really that the eldest wife had always been dignified and acted like an eldest sister-in-law. This was the first time she was teased like this.

Seeing that Burhe was stunned, the eldest lady couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and burst out laughing. At this time, Burhe also reacted, glanced at the eldest lady with a small look and said "humph", then looked at each other and laughed.

Because they lived in the palace, they arrived quickly. So by the time they had calmed down, the wives of the relatives and the ladies who came to attend the wedding banquet had arrived one after another. The two of them did not act pretentiously and quickly stood up to help greet the female relatives.
