Secrets of Yuqing Palace

In the 42nd year of the Kangxi reign, shortly after the Empress Dowager's birthday in March, two major events occurred again in the previous dynasty in May.

First, Prince Yu Fuquan was ill, and Emperor Kangxi visited him for several days.

Second, Kangxi suddenly declared Soetu "the number one sinner in the world" on the grounds that he instigated the crown prince, and detained him in the clan office.

Yinreng understood that what he had talked about with his great uncle in Dezhou last year must have been known to Khan Ama.

Although his great uncle was wrong in this matter, he did it for his own benefit. Therefore, Yinreng went to the Qianqing Palace to plead for Soetu without hesitation, despite the risk of being blamed and angered by Kangxi.

Originally, Kangxi wanted to sentence Soetu to death, but when he saw that his Ma Baoer’s plea was in vain and he stubbornly knelt at the gate of the Qianqing Palace for a whole day and refused to give up, Kangxi was both angry and distressed.

I feel even more that Soetu is a disaster!

If it weren't for Soetu's instigation behind the scenes, how could Baocheng be so disobedient to his Khan father?

Seeing that Kangxi had no intention of giving in, Wanyu gritted her teeth and asked Feng Sheng'e to accompany his father and kneel at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

His father was kneeling in front of the gate of Mafa, and as his son he didn't kneel with him, wouldn't that be unfilial?

Kangxi had a grudge against Yinreng, but not against his grandson.

What's more, he is the eldest grandson whom he loves most besides Ma Baoer?

Apart from this, Wanyu did nothing else.

She didn't dare let people from the previous dynasty get involved, nor did she ask the fourth and ninth brothers to enter the palace.

Otherwise, Kangxi would feel that the former dynasty and the harem were colluding, and the ministers were forming cliques for personal gain, which would only cause Kangxi to be more wary.

By then, not only would Soetu not be saved, but Yinreng would also be implicated.

So she could only use family affection to make Kangxi think that Yinreng was determined to plead for Soetu only because Soetu was his elder and closest relative on his mother's side.

Sure enough, after Youfeng Sheng'e knelt beside Yinreng, Kangxi angrily threw the memorial in front of him.

Feng Sheng'e knelt for less than half a cup of tea before he asked Liang Jiugong to bring in the two "filial sons and grandsons" who were causing him a lot of trouble.

I don’t know what the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren said in the Qianqing Palace.

The final result of this incident was that Soetu was not sentenced to death, but was only demoted to his hometown of Shengjing by order of Kangxi.

Compared to being starved to death in history, this is already a very good result.

Time quickly came to February of the 43rd year of the Kangxi reign.

The new year's general election is here again.

A lot has changed in recent years.

The twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth princes have already left the palace and established their own residences, and have all gotten married.

Originally, Wanyu felt a little guilty for disrupting the relationship between the three people.

But unexpectedly, there is a reason for all mistakes, and the relationships between the three couples are unexpectedly harmonious!

A year after the wedding of the 12th prince and his wife Wanyan, the good news came out, and now the baby is about to be born.

The Thirteenth Prince and his wife, Fucha, are also very much in love. At Wanyu's reminder, Fucha is not pregnant yet and plans to prepare for pregnancy after she turns 19 this year.

The fourteenth prince Yinzhen and his wife Zhaojia also had a harmonious relationship, but the fourteenth prince had a cousin, Uya Gege, who was a white lotus in the backyard.

Although the fourteenth prince Yinzhen favored his wife, Concubine Uya favored her niece from her natal family.

Even though she was just a concubine's daughter, she loved her more than the legitimate wife Zhao Jia who was competing with her for her son!

It has been five years since the wedding, and Yin'er and Yin'e have already become fathers.

However, the Ninth Prince Yinzhen currently only has two little princesses born to his concubines.

But he was unsuccessful in his career but successful in his career.

Yin'er's restaurant business became more and more prosperous, and Wanyu could get hundreds of thousands of taels of dividends every year.

Kangxi saw Yinzhen's amazing talent for business, and with Yinreng's advice and operation, Yinzhen had already entered the Ministry of Revenue.

Yin'e, who only knew how to eat and drink with his wife, lived the most comfortable life among all the princes.

Although he did not make much achievements in the previous dynasty, he just followed behind his second and ninth brothers.

But he has status and money, and his mother's and wife's families are all powerful and wealthy families!

You've already reached the pinnacle of your life at such a young age, so why not enjoy it? Would you be asking for trouble by making a fuss?

Moreover, the couple lives in harmony and has many children. After just a few years of marriage, they now have three princes, two legitimate princes and one illegitimate prince.

Even Yin'er, his brother who was obsessed with his younger brother, was extremely envious.

He is still working like a slave for Khan Ama and the second prince, just to get a higher title in the future and make his mother's life better.

But what about the tenth brother? He was born at the pinnacle, and after marrying a concubine, he went straight to the eternal heaven!

I don't have to do anything, and I still have my brother who gives me a lot of dividends every year.

When he was greedy, he brought his wife directly to the Yuqing Palace to eat and drink for free. He lived a more comfortable life than Emperor Khan!

It’s no exaggeration to say that he is a winner in life. God’s favorite is the most suitable for the tenth brother!

Even his father-in-law, Prince Wuerjin Galapu, is very satisfied with this son-in-law!

Every year, a large number of cattle, sheep, furs, and dairy products are sent to the Ten Beile Mansion in the capital.

I’m afraid that my precious daughter, son-in-law, and two precious grandchildren will be hungry and cold!

Except for those few who were cunning and ambitious, there was no one among the royal princes who did not envy Yin'e.

Especially the Eighth Prince Yinsi, who was extremely jealous.

My family background is not as good as this younger brother's, my title is not as good as this younger brother's, and even my money is not as good as this younger brother's.

What made him most jealous was that he had been married to Guo Luoluo for nine years, but he still had no children, not even a son or a daughter.

Even though he knew that the culprit was Guo Luoluo, in order to maintain the influence of the Prince An's Mansion in the Zhenglan Banner Army, he put the blame for his infertility on Guo Luoluo!

Not only did he have to swallow his anger, he even had to pretend to be deeply in love with his wife and not even want concubines or princesses.

【After all, this is her fault, isn't it?!】

[If she hadn't gotten into trouble and implicated me, I might have had many children already!]

Whenever he thought of this, Yinsi would grit his teeth in hatred towards Guo Luoluo.

In order to take revenge on Guo Luoluo and to do everything he could to have an heir, Yinsi always showed his deep love for his wife even though he was at home.

But secretly, Yinsi kept several concubines outside.

He hoped that with the blessing of Eternal Heaven, these concubines would be able to conceive his children.

.........

Now, on the surface, the Eastern Palace lineage still seems to have the emperor's favor.

But only Yinreng knew that every time he faced Khan Ama, he had to be extremely alert, constantly analyzing Khan Ama's expression and the meaning of his words, and not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Especially after the Soetu incident.

Now when Khan Ama looks at him, there is not only love and trust in his eyes, but also scrutiny and suspicion.

In February, Xiao Li, a concubine in the Yongjun Prince's mansion, gave birth to the Yongjun Prince's fourth prince, Hongshi.

This little Li was not the previous Li who gave birth to two sons and a daughter, but the concubine Li that Wanlin sent to Prince Yong's mansion.

So today, Hongshi is no longer born of the same mother as Hongyu and Hongyun.

When little Li was giving birth, Wanlin protected her, so the child was born safely.

Perhaps it was because she felt that Xiao Li had defected to Concubine Mu and gave birth to the fourth prince of Prince Yong. She felt that the concubine's lineage had a prince, which made Concubine Mu feel wary.

So not long after Xiao Li gave birth to the fourth prince, Fu Jin went to the palace to ask Concubine De to give her two concubines.

One of them was Geng, a bondservant of the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Han army, and the other was Zhang, a bondservant of the Plain White Banner of the Han army.
