Secrets of Yuqing Palace

The night before departure, Wanyu was very uneasy.

She wanted to go on this tour with Yinreng, but was rejected by Yinreng with a smile.

Stepping onto the wide bed, Yinreng hugged the woman in his arms tightly, wiped the sweat from her forehead with his loving hand, and then gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself and nothing will happen."

"Take care of the children in the capital, and don't delay choosing a wife for Feng Sheng'e."

"Also, no matter what happens or if you hear anything bad, don't panic."

"I promise, nothing will happen."

"It's you who has to take care of yourself and the child, okay?"

Wanyu rested her head on his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and her uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.

"I know."

"But you have to promise me to take care of yourself."

"Whatever happens, don't be impulsive and think about me and the children."

“And don’t make Khan Amma angry.”

"My child and I will wait for you to come back in the capital."

Yinreng gently stroked her back.

"it is good."

Wanyu looked up and looked into Yinreng's eyes carefully, giving him instructions patiently.

"I asked Xia He to prepare a lot of good medicinal herbs, including ginseng that is over a hundred years old, as well as the best Ganoderma lucidum, Tianshan snow lotus, etc."

"Besides that, I'd also like to trouble you to buy some Western medicine from the foreigners. Bring them all with you tomorrow."

"If you feel unwell, or if anyone is sick, don't be reluctant to use these medicines. Ask the accompanying imperial physician and don't delay if you can use them."

Seeing the uneasiness in her eyes, Yinreng looked up and kissed her on the lips.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

The next day, Yinreng swiftly mounted his horse amidst the reluctant gazes of his wife and children.

After waving goodbye, he left Changchun Garden without looking back.

A few days after the imperial carriage left, Wanyu received a letter of safety sent by Yinreng.

Knowing that he had a smooth journey, I felt a little relieved.

Moreover, on the third day after the emperor left, Yinzhen was worried that his second sister-in-law would be uneasy, so he specially asked his concubine to bring Ning Chuge to Changchun Garden to accompany his second sister-in-law.

With her second sister by her side to chat with her and also busy with the selection of a wife for Feng Sheng'e, she was no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning.

Yinreng, who was accompanying the emperor on his tour, was secretly observing the emperor.

During this period, Yinzhi tried to pick a fight with him several times, but was blocked by Yinxiang and Yinzhen, and Yinreng himself simply disdained to pay attention to him.

In his opinion, Yinzhen was even more miserable than himself.

At least he knew his situation, but the fool Yinzhi was not only used by Khan Ama, but even his little follower Lao Ba was using him and even secretly poaching his women.

In June, the imperial carriage arrived in Rehe smoothly.

All day long, Yinreng was either kept by Kangxi's side, accompanying him to read memorials and receive Mongolian princes, or he went out with his brothers to race horses and hunt.

Although the emperor learned of Mingzhu's death in April, he directly ordered his third son Yinzhi to offer tea and wine and gave him four horses.

But these days, Kangxi was in a very good mood.

Because the third prince of the former Ming Dynasty, Zhu, was captured, the nine ministers in the capital discussed it and sent a memorial to the emperor asking for his opinion on how to deal with the matter, thus resolving a major concern for Kangxi.

To demonstrate his benevolence, the emperor issued an edict: "Punish the ringleaders. Zhu San and his son shall not be pardoned, but the punishment for those implicated together may be commuted to exile. Governor Wang Ran and Admiral Wang Shichen shall remain in their original posts, and all injured officers and soldiers shall be rewarded."

Kangxi was in a good mood and was not so strict in his supervision of Yinreng.

He would also be sent out with a few of his brothers.

The Mongolian princes and nobles who were unaware of the inside story only saw how much the Khan doted on the prince and wished to keep him by his side all the time, feeling that the prince's position was as secure as a rock.

Therefore, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and establish a relationship with the prince.

Some gave beautiful women, some gave gold and silver, and some even gave Arabian horses.

Yinreng thought that he could not accept the beauties and gold and silver, otherwise he would touch some sensitive nerve of Khan Ama.

So he just accepted the Arabian horse given by the other party.

But he didn't ask for the other party's things for nothing.

For the Manchus who grew up on horseback, there is nothing they don’t love, such as a good horse and a good whip, especially they are extremely attractive to men.

That day, Yinzhen saw the second son riding a Ferghana horse, leading Yinxiang and Yinzhen in a horse race with high spirits, and jealousy was aroused in his heart.

His face looked extremely bad, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, then turned around and went to the emperor's tent.

When Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong report that Prince Zhi wanted to see him, he let him in directly.

Then Liang Jiugong heard that the Prince of Zhi was actually very excited and complained to the Emperor about the Crown Prince riding the tribute horses presented to him by the Mongolian tribes without permission.

Especially when he saw the gloomy face of His Majesty, Liang Jiugong felt a pang in his heart.

[My Lord, you have truly gotten yourself into great trouble.]

[Your Majesty hasn't even chosen yet, how come you're the first to choose and ride? ]

"If it were before, you would have ridden it, but now that His Majesty is so suspicious and thoughtful, why are you so careless?"

Sure enough, Kangxi gave orders to Liang Jiugong with a cold face.

"go with!"

"Go and call that unfilial and unshaven wretch yourself."

(I want to see if the Crown Prince has the guts to commit such an act of usurpation!)

(And why did Mongolia try to curry favor with the crown prince?)

Liang Jiugong immediately responded, "Yes."

When Liang Jiugong retreated, he saw the gloating look on the face of Prince Yinzhen of Zhi, and Liang Jiugong sighed in his heart.

Liang Jiugong first went to the prince's tent and asked the eunuchs and guards guarding the door, and learned that the prince, the thirteenth prince, and the fourteenth prince had gone out to race horses.

Liang Jiugong had no choice but to call two guards and ride on horseback to chase the prince and the two princes.

He himself was waiting in the direction where the people were coming back.

Now that the relationship between the Emperor and the Crown Prince is drifting further and further apart, he, as a bystander, feels very sorry for it.

In addition, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have been very nice to him over the years.

Even the four young masters of Yuqing Palace called him Liang Anda every time they saw him.

Whenever there was something delicious to eat or drink, he would ask someone to save some for him.

People are all made of flesh and blood, especially eunuchs like him who have no roots and no family, so they value this hard-earned warmth even more.

Although he could not betray the emperor, many times, he was still willing to give some convenience to Yuqing Palace, and even give a few small suggestions.

So after the Crown Prince and others rode over in a dusty state, he stepped forward immediately after the Crown Prince dismounted and whispered the words of the Prince of Zhi to the Crown Prince.

Yinreng snorted coldly, [Brainless idiot!]

He said to Liang Jiugong gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding of this matter. I know what's going on."

Liang Jiugong replied, "Then please come in, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been waiting for a while."

Yinreng threw the whip in his hand to Yinxiang.

"On the thirteenth or fourteenth day, I will go to see Khan Ama."

"Please arrange for my horses, and I will come find you later."

Yinxiang and Yinzhen nodded in unison.

Since childhood, the ruler and his subjects have been taught different rules.

Listening to the second prince's words has been engraved in their bones.

As long as the emperor does not shake the prince's position, the royal fathers below will always maintain awe of the prince, the half-king.
