Secrets of Yuqing Palace

As for the concubines and princesses in the backyard, Defei referred to almost all of them as being from the Han Army Banner of the Lower Five Banners.

Moreover, their descendants were few and far between, and only the Niuhuru clan had the advantage of a surname.

Nian's family background was not bad, and Nian Gengyao was also not bad, but he was just a Han army flag of the lower five flags, and was completely inferior to himself.

After all, this is a world ruled by the Manchus, and he is from the Zhengbai Banner, one of the upper three banners!

Although they are also a Han army flag, their family is a pure Manchu noble family, and they are also a big family named Guwalja, and their family also controls the military power!

Not only that, the Manchu nobles had been intermarrying with each other for generations, and their huge network of relationships was not comparable to that of the Nian family.

If I marry into the Fourth Prince's harem, as long as I give birth to a son, after the legitimate son dies, with my status and family power, the position of the Crown Prince will only be my son!

Wanlin thought about it and decided that entering the Fourth Prince's mansion would be the safest option!

As long as you give birth to a son, you will have the possibility of obtaining that position.

Even if Yinzhen did not ascend the throne, at worst he could inherit the throne of Prince Yong from the fourth brother, which was better than being imprisoned.

Having a grandson who is a prince, even the family can benefit from it!

After figuring it out, Wanlin began to think about how to act.

She silently thought of the Nanny Li Jia who had been bestowed upon her by the Emperor.

Although she had been by his side for several years, her master had always been the emperor.

Every once in a while, he would report his situation to the palace.

I can't be careless and reveal my true identity.

From now on, I have to avoid Nanny Li Jia in any of my actions.

"Looks like I need to borrow some help from someone."

While the two sisters were talking in private, in the main courtyard of the second house.

Fucha also mentioned to her husband what happened on the way back home.

A hint of fear also flashed across Shi Wenzhuo's face.

Wanyu is their only daughter, and the couple loves her dearly. If anything happens to her, neither Fu Jin nor they can bear it.

He held Fu Jin's hand and said, "Buddha bless you all, luckily you are back safely."

Fucha's eyes were a little sore. "I was really scared to death today, especially when I saw Yu'er being thrown out of the carriage. I felt like I could hardly breathe."

"If it weren't for protecting me, your mother, Yu'er wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

Shi Wenzhuo looked at Fu Jin's face full of self-blame and couldn't help but gently embrace her in his arms.

Then he patted her back soothingly.

"Don't worry, our Yu'er is a child with good fortune in the future."

"Didn't you get a very good fortune today at Huguo Temple? So nothing will happen for sure."

"It was just an accident. It's not your fault. Don't feel bad."

Fu Cha gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded hard.

"By the way, today a young master named Hesheli Huang Cheng saved our Yu'er. We must repay this favor."

Shi Wenzhuo assured: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"But is there a young man named Huang Cheng in the Hesheli family?"

Fucha explained, "This Mr. Huang Cheng lives in Shengjing. He came to the capital this time to do some business. He didn't expect to save our Yu'er by accident."

Shi Wenzhuo nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will have the housekeeper arrange for someone to go to the residence of Mr. Huang Cheng and deliver the visiting card."

"As a father, I must personally come to thank this young master for saving my life."

Fucha suggested, "Bring Shi Liha with you when the time comes. Master Huang Cheng came to the capital alone with his guards and servants."

"Young people like them have more things to talk about when they're together. If only you, the elder, were here, I'm afraid Mr. Huang Cheng would feel uncomfortable."

"Fujin's consideration makes sense. I'll have the housekeeper arrange it in a moment."

On the second day, inside Yuqing Palace, the chief eunuch Zhang Xi walked into the study carefully.

He lowered his head and carefully glanced at the prince who was standing in front of the desk, writing something with a brush.

The eunuch Meng Baozhong, who was serving in the study, was standing by and grinding ink for the prince.

Without even looking up, Yinreng asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xi stepped forward respectfully and bowed to answer.

"Your Highness, someone down there has brought the news."

Yinreng put down the purple-hair brush in his hand and sat back in his chair.

He waved his hand and let Meng Jinzhong go out.

Then he said to Zhang Xi, "Present it."

Zhang Xi: "Yeah."

As he said this, he respectfully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and placed it on Yinreng's desk.

Yinreng picked up the letter and saw that it was the information that Tianqing had found according to his orders.

After quickly reading the letter, he put the paper back on the table.

Then he leaned back in his chair, supported his chin with one hand, and tapped lightly on the desk with the other hand, thinking about the contents of the letter.

It turned out to be the Guwalgiya clan from Shi Huashan's branch.

The Guwalgiya princess I met in the temple yesterday was Shi Wanyu, the legitimate daughter of Shi Huashan’s second legitimate son Shi Wenzhuo, and the third princess in the clan.

One of the candidates that the emperor had chosen for the position of Crown Princess was Shi Wanlin, the daughter of Shi Huashan's eldest son Shi Wenbing and the second lady in the mansion.

Thinking about the information about the Third Lady, Yinreng tapped the table a little faster.

The time of her birth happened to be the day when she recovered from smallpox and woke up.

This made Yinreng suspect that she was the destined person that Master Wuchen mentioned.
