Secrets of Yuqing Palace

After Tong Jiaren received the imperial decree granting her marriage, the whole family became lively.

However, the two Tongjia sisters were in different moods.

Especially Tong Jia Xiyao, who was married to Prince Yu Baotai and became his second wife, was the most jealous and resentful.

She tore the handkerchief in her hand angrily and cursed with a distorted face in her boudoir.

"Yuwei, a daughter born out of wedlock, actually managed to marry someone as gentle and kind as the Eighth Prince as his concubine!"

"Bitch! Vixen!"

The maidservant beside her felt a tightness in her heart when she saw that the princess looked unhappy.

I was worried that my master would be in a bad mood and would take his anger out on me.

When Xiyao is in a bad mood, she likes to take it out on the maids around her. This is no secret in the backyard.

So she whispered anxiously, "Princess, once you marry into Prince Yu's mansion, you will be the Prince's wife."

"Although Princess Yuwei married the Eighth Prince, she was only a concubine."

"Besides, the Eighth Concubine is extremely jealous. If Princess Yuwei were to marry into the Eighth Prince's residence, she might be severely tortured by the Eighth Concubine."

Tong Jia Xiyao felt a flicker of pride in her heart, but she still said bitterly, "I just feel sorry for Ba Beizi. Such a noble and gentle man is actually going to marry a bastard!"

Women's reactions and thoughts vary.

But the men of the Tonggiya clan couldn't help but get excited.

Ever since the Tong family produced Empress Xiaokang Zhang, and was promoted from the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner to the Manchu Army's Zhenghuang Banner, the Tong family's ambitions have become increasingly strong.

After the emperor ascended the throne, they sent their two daughters into the palace one after another.

Especially Empress Xiaoyi, who was the emperor's cousin and had a childhood friendship with him, so they had high expectations for him.

Little did she know that not only did Empress Xiaoyi only have one daughter in her life, but she also died shortly after birth.

Now Concubine Xun is not favored in the palace and is even suppressed by the Crown Princess!

How could the Tong family be willing to accept this?

Now that the granddaughter of the Tong family is going to marry the Eighth Prince Yinsi, isn’t this an opportunity to place another bet?

The Eighth Prince has no children now. If Yu Wei can give birth to the Eighth Prince's eldest son, Tong Jia will push the Eighth Prince to the throne in the future, and the glory of the Tong family can continue for hundreds of years!

Because his granddaughter Tong Jia Yuwei was about to become the concubine of the Eighth Prince, Tong Guowei paid rare attention to his illegitimate son Tong Jia Dekexin.

Not only did he give some power to Dekexin's family, he also instructed his wife to prepare more dowry for his granddaughter Yuwei.

This made Tong Guowei's wife secretly resentful.

Tong Guowei attaches so much importance to a granddaughter born out of wedlock, and even the illegitimate son begins to stand out in the Tong family. How can Tong Guowei's wife tolerate this?

In her opinion, the resources occupied by illegitimate children all belong to her own legitimate children!

Now we have to prepare more dowry, what's the difference between this and snatching food from a tiger's mouth?!

Tong Guowei and his men wanted to place their hopes on the Eighth Prince, but Tong Guowei's second son, Longkodo, had a different idea.

"Father, my sister loved Prince Yong the most when she was alive. Moreover, Prince Yong was raised by my sister, so he is considered my half son."

"Plus, one is a prince, and the other is just a prince."

"My son thinks that if we really want to place a bet, it should be on Prince Yong."

Tong Guowei shook his head.

"Prince Yong has a strong and serious character, and he is deeply involved with the Crown Prince. He is deeply devoted to the Crown Prince and will not easily change his mind."

"But Babeizi is different."

"Not only do we currently have no offspring, but if Yuwei gives birth to a child for the Eighth Prince, wouldn't our Tong family's biological grandson be closer to us than an adopted son?"

"Besides, the Eighth Prince has a gentle temperament and many ministers are on good terms with him. It would be easier for him to win over the court officials than the Prince of Yong."

Longkodo said somewhat unhappily, "Don't you care about my sister's wishes?"

"Besides, even if my niece Yuwei marries into the Babeizi's mansion, I don't know if she can give birth to Babeizi's child."

Tong Guowei paused.

"It's really too early to say that now."

"Although the Emperor is not as close to the Crown Prince as before, he will not give up on him easily."

He said to Longkodo meaningfully, "If you want to get close to Prince Yong, your father will not stop you."

"But you have to remember, this is just your personal behavior, it doesn't represent our entire Tong family!"

Longkodo nodded.

"My son just feels that Prince Yong was raised by his sister, so he feels somewhat close to her."

Tong Guowei stroked his beard with satisfaction, then looked at his second son Dekexin.

"From now on, Yuwei will be the concubine of the Eighth Prince. As his father-in-law, you should also spend more time with the Eighth Prince. Don't let the Eighth Prince neglect our Yuwei."

Deke Xin nodded blankly, "Yes, Ama."

Not to mention the interactions between the Eighth Prince Yinsi and the Tonggiya clan, the Prince Yong's Mansion next to the Eighth Prince's Mansion has also been a little lively recently.

In this election, the emperor did not give anyone to Prince Yong.

But Concubine Uya in the palace gave two beautiful girls to Prince Yong's backyard.

One was a Han army flag beauty named Hai, and the other was a Manchu army flag beauty.

It was probably in the 43rd year that the Empress Dowager bestowed upon Yinzhen a clan member of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, Nianhulu, which had a certain deterrent effect.

In this election, Concubine Uya bestowed upon Prince Yong the title of Nara, who was given a full military flag.

Hai has a pretty face and a graceful figure, and it is obvious that she is someone who can be favored.

Although Nara's face was only pretty, her status as a Manchu military beauty was relatively high in Prince Yong's harem.

Both of them made the already uneasy wife of Prince Yong feel a great sense of urgency.

She held Madam Hu's wrist tightly, and the sharp armor poked Madam Hu's wrist, causing her pain, but she did not change her expression at all.

"Master, don't worry."

"Everything has been arranged with the old lady."

"In a few days, we will arrange for someone to enter the mansion in the name of serving the master, and the indenture will be delivered along with it."

"With the contract of sale in my hand, that little bitch won't dare to do anything!"

When Ulanara heard that everything had been arranged, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and the strength in her hands also eased a little.

"Luckily, my mother later arranged a nanny for me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do now."

"I was unable to protect little Madam Hu back then, so I can only rely on you, Madam Hu, from now on."

Nanny Hu sighed and touched Fu Jin's little hand.

"It was my sister who didn't keep her composure. Not only did she cause the concubine's position to become unstable, she also cost herself her life."

"Don't worry, Madam. The old Madam will arrange for the servants to come and serve the master. She will not let the master worry anymore."

"If Fu Jin doesn't like the two newly arrived beauties, then arrange for them to live in the Begonia Courtyard of Li Gege and the Green Rose Pavilion of Song Gege."

"Big Li Gege has fallen out of favor due to something that happened in the past, and Song Gege is also disliked by the prince because her two little girls died in infancy."

"The two newly arrived concubines will live in the Begonia Courtyard and the Green Lotus Pavilion. I think the Fourth Master is wary of those two princesses and won't favor these two concubines too much."

When mentioning the early events of Princess Li, a strong hatred flashed in Madam Hu's eyes.

If it weren’t for that bitch, my sister wouldn’t have died!

This revenge will be taken sooner or later!

Not long after, a concubine named An appeared in the backyard of Prince Yong's mansion.
