Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Inside Yuqing Palace, the one-year-old baby boy celebration banquet for two little princes who had just turned one year old was very lively.

Prince Yong's mansion outside the palace seemed particularly deserted.

All the princes and their wives came to the palace to attend the prince's first-born son's celebration, while only a few concubines came to Prince Yong's mansion.

Ulanara was extremely angry, but she had to maintain a dignified and generous appearance.

She was a concubine, but she had fallen to the point of entertaining a concubine. She had brought shame to the Ulanara family!

Thinking of this, her jealousy, dissatisfaction and fear towards Concubine Mu increased a little more.

So at the Sixth Prince's one-year-old birthday banquet, he subtly flattered Concubine Mu and Hongli in front of Princess Nianhulu.

However, Princess Niohuru was not unhappy after hearing this. Instead, she tried her best to appear calm and humble on the surface, but she was actually trembling with excitement in her heart.

When Ulanara first saw that Nianhulu Gege looked calm, she thought she didn't understand the meaning of her words.

So he deliberately mentioned Hongli several times, who was currently holding a grand celebration for the first birthday in Yuqing Palace, and made the Sixth Prince look like a poor little guy who was ignored by everyone and whose father didn't care about him.

But not only was Princess Niohuru not unhappy, but a smile flashed across her eyes quickly, then quickly disappeared.

Ulanara's heart sank!

[Gege Niuhulu's expression is not right! ]

[She didn't even feel the slightest bit of resentment towards her son being ignored?]

[Could it be that Princess Niuhulu had secretly formed an alliance with the concubine long ago?]

How else could she be so calm?

【And she seemed to be smiling just now, right? 】

Ulanara's thoughts were in a frenzy. She always felt that something was wrong with Princess Niohuru's mood!

She always felt that something big had happened that she was not aware of.

She had a hunch that if she could find out the reason why Princess Nianhulu was in a bad mood, it would be a very important matter for her.

Because she was always thinking about something, Prince Yong's wife was a little absent-minded throughout the first birthday banquet.

The other concubines who attended the birthday party noticed it, looked at each other, and said nothing.

I could only secretly guess that it might be related to Concubine Mu and Prince Hongli in the palace at that time.

But you can understand it if you think about it.

As the legal wife, she hosted a birthday party for her concubine's son at home.

The prince, with his concubine and another illegitimate son, went to the palace to hold a birthday party with the crown prince and his legitimate son.

It seemed as if they were a real family, and the concubine and the illegitimate son seemed to be the prince's legitimate wife and son.

His wife, on the contrary, looked like a concubine.

Which lady can be happy?

Although they could understand the discomfort of Prince Yong's wife, they all envied Concubine Mu.

Concubine Mu is the only one among all the princes' concubines who has been granted a title by the emperor himself.

Without mentioning how powerful the Guwalja clan behind him was, let’s just talk about the Crown Princess in the palace now.

Even Prince Hongli, her son, benefited from it!

Otherwise, who else would have the honor to hold the one-year-old celebration banquet with the prince's legitimate son?

Isn't this because Concubine Mu and the Crown Princess have a very good sisterly relationship?

Everyone was secretly muttering in their hearts that the title of Prince Yong's Mansion might fall to Prince Hongli in the future!

Ulanara was so immersed in her own thoughts and speculations that she didn't notice the subtle looks from others at her.

However, it was Aunt Hu behind her who noticed it and reminded her several times.

However, the matter in her heart was like a huge stone. She felt that this matter was of great importance, so she kept thinking about it. Before she came back to her senses for long, she couldn't help but think of Princess Nianhulu again, and often glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.

After the one-year-old birthday banquet, Ulanara gave the reward to Niuhulu Gege and couldn't wait to send the mother and son away.

In the main courtyard, before Madam Hu could mention what happened at the first birthday party, Ulanara couldn't wait to ask.

"Madam Hu, do you feel that there is something wrong with Niuhulu?"

Aunt Hu was surprised.

[It's obviously you, the master, who's the one who's at fault. Those concubines have privately sizing you up several times!]

However, although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't say that to save her master's face.

So she asked suspiciously, "Did Fu Jin see anything?"

Ulanara said, "Do you still remember what happened a few days ago when someone reported it to Qiushui Garden?"

Madam Hu immediately realized what was happening and asked, "Are you talking about Concubine Concubine and Prince Hongli holding their one-year-old celebration banquet in Yuqing Palace today?"

Ulanara nodded.

"Madam Hu, don't you find it strange?"

"Whether it was the news that was spread earlier or today's one-year-old celebration, the Niuhulu clan didn't react at all."

Madam Hu was puzzled.

"Fujin, today is the Sixth Prince's one-year-old birthday celebration. As his mother, Nianhulu Gege must be happy. Otherwise, how else could she react?"

Ulanara shook her head.

"Madam Hu, you are also a mother."

"Think about it, if you were Princess Niuhulu today, would you be able to accept the gap between the two young princes so calmly?"

"In addition, today I mentioned the concubine Hongli in the palace several times in front of Niuhulu, but Niuhulu didn't react at all."

"and...."

Speaking of this, Ulanara's face darkened a little.

Nanny Hu looked at her master in confusion.

Ulanara whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, when I mentioned the concubine and Hongli in the palace, I actually saw a flash of smile in Nianhulu's eyes!"

Nanny Hu looked at Fu Jin in shock.

"Is Fu Jin right?"

Ulanara shook her head affirmatively.

"Although it was only a moment, I saw it clearly!"

She looked at Madam Hu and asked anxiously, "Madam Hu, do you think Concubine Hu has already won over the Niuhulu clan?"

"If that's true, then our main courtyard will be attacked from both sides!"

"The only two princes with Manchu blood, and both of them are from prominent Manchu families, have joined forces. The status of our main courtyard in the palace is shaky."

"The most important thing is that I can't have another child now, and the prince's title in the future..."

Looking at the anxious face of Fu Jin, Matron Hu was also shocked by the meaning of her words.

However, as she was old and shrewd, she was still able to calmly think about the abnormality of Princess Nianhulu that the concubine had just mentioned.

"Fujin, don't worry."

"Didn't you just say that Princess Niuhulu was abnormal?"

"Can we first investigate the source of Princess Niuhulu's abnormality?"

"And all of this is just your speculation. We don't know if she and Concubine Jin are truly allied."

"We have to investigate everything before we can determine the truth!"

The Ulanara family seemed to have grasped the backbone.

She looked at Madam Hu anxiously.

"it is good."

"Madam, I'm worried about leaving this matter to others."

"I'd better leave it to you, so that I can feel at ease."

Madam Hu immediately said respectfully, "Don't worry, Madam Fu-jin, I will find out what's wrong with Princess Niuhulu as soon as possible!"
