Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Prince Yong stayed in the Qianqing Palace for about an hour before coming out.

Anyone with eyes could see that when Prince Yong left the Qianqing Palace, he had a long box in his hand.

Apart from Prince Yong and Kangxi, only Liang Jiugong knew what the father and son had just talked about and what was in the box.

Soon Yinreng and Wanyu in Yuqing Palace learned the news.

The two looked at each other.

"It's done!"

Yinreng smiled and said, "Can you feel at ease now?"

Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"If we settle it sooner, my second sister and mother will feel at ease."

In the afternoon, Kangxi summoned all the married princes to the Qianqing Palace to meet him.

Only after everyone was present did Kangxi tell them his plans.

The rewards for Prince Yong, Yinzhen, remained unchanged, and the Ninth Prince, Yin'er, was granted the title of Beile in addition to the garden.

All the other married princes, except the eighth prince Yinsi, were given gardens near Changchun Garden.

However, the ownership of their garden was different from that of Yinzhen and Yin'er.

They only have the right to live in the garden, not the ownership. After their death, the garden will be taken back by the Imperial Household Department.

The West Garden of Changchun Garden was then only occupied by the prince and his family.

Except for the eighth prince Yinsi, everyone was happy about this matter.

After the garden was bestowed upon them, the princes were eager to find someone to renovate it.

Everyone knows that the old man spends less and less time in the Forbidden City now.

Most of the year is spent in Changchun Garden.

They want to move with the old man, and also move to a nearby place to listen to government affairs and do their work.

Otherwise, it would take two hours to ride back and forth between the capital and Changchun Garden every day, which would be too tiring.

While everyone was busy repairing the garden, time passed quickly as various banquets were held, including the New Year's Eve family banquet and the Spring Festival palace banquet.

Time passed quickly and it was the 47th year of the Kangxi reign.

Ever since the Fourth Master collected the debt last year, Concubine Mu Wanlin has been feeling frightened and extremely panicked.

Even though the Fourth Master had successfully concluded the matter of recovering the outstanding silver, and even secretly requested the Emperor to grant the marriage between Ning Chuge and Ma Qi's grandson Fu Tai'an, Wanlin still felt uneasy.

He even disregarded the rules several times and took Ning Chuge into the palace and to Yuqing Palace several times, which caused dissatisfaction from his wife, Ulanara.

Ever since An, the maidservant of Prince Yong's wife, became a concubine, the main courtyard has been quiet for a while.

I just don't know how long this peace can last?

Wanlin was always worried when she thought about what might happen during this year's tour to the frontier.

I originally thought that after entering the palace, I would go to Yuqing Palace to talk to my third sister and attract her attention.

It would be best if I could meet the prince and then give him some hints.

She had always been secluded in the backyard. Although she could inquire about the affairs of the previous dynasty, she could not find out much.

She also doesn't know how the prince and the emperor are doing now?

Does the emperor intend to depose the crown prince?

This is the only way to help the prince avoid it as much as possible.

But she didn't expect that she had entered the palace several times but never met the prince!

Fortunately, when she was at a loss, Ning Chuge's unintentional words finally made her come up with a good idea.

When the Fourth Master arrived at Jinglan Courtyard that day, Wanlin asked gently, "Master, will the Emperor still go to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat this year?"

Yinzhen looked at her doubtfully, thought for a moment and said, "Of course he would."

"In recent years, Khan Ama has become increasingly reluctant to stay in the Forbidden City, and has mostly lived in the temporary palace or Changchun Garden."

"what happened?"

Wanlin smiled and said, "It's Ning Chuge."

"She knows that the master has been renovating the Old Summer Palace, and she wants to finish it as soon as possible so that when the emperor goes to Changchun Garden for summer vacation, we can move to the Old Summer Palace."

"She's looking forward to it."

"He also said that he would invite Fengsheng'e and his four siblings to visit his garden."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Ning Chuge has followed you to Yuqing Palace since she was young, and she has a very good relationship with Hongxi and the others."

Wanlin smiled fondly and said, "They are cousins, so of course their relationship is closer than that of ordinary siblings."

"There are also Hongchang and Hongtun from my thirteenth brother's family, and Hongchun, Hongming and the three sisters Yaliqi from my fourteenth brother's family."

"That girl said that she would personally host a small banquet in the Old Summer Palace to entertain these brothers and sisters."

Thinking that Ning Chuge not only had a good relationship with the children of his second brother, but also had a good relationship with the children of his thirteenth and fourteenth brothers, Yinzhen's heart softened.

He looked at Wanlin, his eyes full of emotion and tenderness.

"You taught Ning Chug well."

"Respect your elder brothers and be friendly to your younger siblings. Our Ning Chuge is a good child."

Then he thought of the eldest princess, Buruhe, who was raised by the concubine. She was soft and sensitive, and not very close to him, her father, and he sighed silently.

Thinking of his fourteenth brother Yinzhen's chaotic backyard, Yinzhen became even more worried.

Two years ago, the fourteenth prince's name was changed from Yinzhen to Yinzhen by Kangxi.

Although Yinzhen had more children in his backyard than Yinxiang, there were more miscarriages, so the backyard was not peaceful!

Moreover, the three children who are still alive today all have different biological mothers and their relationship is not harmonious.

Yalichi was Yinzhen's first child, born to his cousin Wuya Fang'er.

Hongchun was Yinzhen's eldest son, and his biological mother was his favorite concubine Shushujueluo.

Hongming was Yinzhen's legitimate son, and his biological mother was his wife, Zhaojia.

He has feelings for all three women. Wuya Fang'er is his cousin and has a gentle personality, so she is always a little different to him.

Shushujueluo was the first woman he truly loved, so he unconsciously doted on her a little more.

Zhao Jia was his wife, who was dignified, generous, virtuous and kind, and he respected her very much.

Even if he favored Uya Fang'er and Shushujueluo, it would not affect the status of Fu Jin in Yinzhen's heart.

These three women satisfied Yinzhen to some extent, but the one who gave him the most headache was his cousin Wuya Shiyao.

He is arrogant and domineering, and causes a lot of trouble in his backyard.

The most troublesome thing was that every time he ordered Wuya Shiyao to be confined to the palace, his mother Wuyapin would always call him to Yonghe Palace to scold him.

Let her be more tolerant towards this cousin.

Even Concubine Uya was particularly partial to this niece.

Whenever Fu Jin came to the palace to pay her respects, she would always ask her to bring her niece Wuya Shiyao along.

He even gave Yinzhen personal instructions to be nicer to his niece.

Concubine Uya seemed not to care at all. Uya Fang'er, who gave birth to Yinzhen's first child in the backyard of the Fourteenth Prince, was also her niece.

Over the years, many women in Yinzhen's harem have suffered miscarriages, including the four women mentioned above.

Yinzhen had investigated before, but every time he found out it was the palace maids' fault, so he never found out the real mastermind.

He also didn't know whether there was one person behind the scenes, or whether these women were scheming against each other and taking revenge on each other, which led to his small number of offspring?

Sometimes he would complain to his brother, so Yinzhen knew a little about what was going on in his backyard.
