Secrets of Yuqing Palace

As the election day drew closer, Kangxi, sitting in the Qianqing Palace, became more and more anxious.

"Liang Jiugong, go call the prince over."

"Whoo!"

While dealing with the memorials on the desk, he was waiting for his eldest son.

After dealing with a small pile of memorials in his hand, the prince came in with a brisk pace to pay his respects.

Kangxi put down the memorial, called out directly, and asked anxiously.

"Baocheng, have you not met anyone special in recent years?"

Yinreng said without blinking, "To answer Khan Ama, no."

Thinking of the prince's strange illness, Kangxi sighed.

He was really worried that his precious son would never find his so-called destined person in his lifetime.

Otherwise, wouldn’t his precious son be without descendants?

After Baocheng ascended the throne, who could continue to pass on the Qing Dynasty?

As Yinreng grew older, Kangxi became more worried.

"Alas, you are already 17 years old, and your eldest brother already has three legitimate daughters."

"Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant again, you don't even have a maid to serve you in Yuqing Palace. I am really worried."

Yinreng said dejectedly, "Khan Ama, there is no need to worry about your son."

"Maybe this is my son's fate. He is destined to be unlucky, so this is what happened."

Kangxi slammed the table with his hand. The loud noise frightened all the servants in the Qianqing Palace and made them kneel on the ground.

"Nonsense!"

"You are the child of me and Empress Hesheli, the only legitimate son of the Qing Dynasty, and the honorable Crown Prince!"

"Who can say that you are unlucky?!"

"Is someone talking nonsense in front of you? Tell Amma, Amma will take care of it for you!"

"If there really is someone with such ulterior motives, I will definitely kill his entire clan!"

Yinreng just lowered his head and shook his head without saying anything.

Kangxi felt extremely distressed when he saw his son's decadent appearance.

【God is unfair and has wronged my Baocheng.】

[My son is now unable to touch a woman, and his knees are empty.]

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt even more disgusted with the group of villains who had caused Baocheng to be infected with smallpox more than ten years ago.

I even want to dig them out, whip their corpses, and then grind their bones into ashes!

"Don't be afraid, Baocheng. Khan Ama is here."

"I simply don't believe that as the ruler of the world, I can't find the so-called destined person for you!"

"Even if I have to turn over every inch of land to search, I will find it for you and won't let my son suffer such injustice."

Yinreng looked up, his eyes red as he looked at Kangxi.

"Khan Ama, your son knows that Khan Ama loves you the most."

"My brothers all have their own mothers, but I don't envy them because I have my own Khan."

There was grievance, admiration, and pretense of strength in his eyes.

If Wanyu could see this scene, she would be shocked.

No wonder he has a pair of eyes that can "defend himself as a green tea", he is no less than others.

A top-grade green tea!

Kangxi was under his control.

Kangxi suppressed the bitterness and grief in his heart.

He felt that Baocheng was worthy of being raised by him and was the one closest to him.

I also feel sorry for him because he has been without a mother since he was a child. Apart from his father, no one truly loves him.

Kang Mazi, who couldn't bear to part with Ma Bao, wanted to clear away all obstacles for his beloved son.

He waved his hand and gave the order immediately.

"Liang Jiugong, go and summon Master Wuchen from Huguo Temple to the palace to meet the emperor immediately."

"The slave obeys the order."

"Baocheng, stay at the Qianqing Palace to have lunch with Khan Ama, and we can chat."

"After Master Wuchen enters the palace, let him calculate it for you again."

Yinreng knelt down and said in a familiar and shameful manner, "Yes."

"It's all my son's fault for being unfilial. I've caused Khan Ama so much trouble."

"Hurry up and get up. As long as you are well, I will be at ease."

Not long after the two of them had lunch in the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong brought in Wu Chen, who was wearing a gray-brown cassock and had a kind face.

At this time, Kangxi was sitting on the dragon throne, and the prince was sitting on the seat below.

Master Wu Chen's face was as calm as water. When he walked into the hall, he slowly put his hands together and saluted the two people with a gesture as calm as water.

"I, Wuchen, greet the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Kangxi: "Master, you are polite."

"Liang Jiugong is watching the seats."

After Wuchen sat opposite Yinreng, Yinreng nodded to him.

Since he recovered from smallpox and could see through people's hearts, Yinreng became fascinated by Buddhism after Wuchen pointed out the opportunity.

Moreover, Wu Chen saw his strangeness, and he also saw that the other party had a truly clear mind, so he concluded that he was indeed a high-level monk.

So every time he left the palace to go to Huguo Temple, he would discuss Buddhism with Wuchen.

The two have known each other for a long time and can be considered friends regardless of age.

Wu Chen also nodded slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. It was a kind of peace after seeing the world and understanding the affairs of the world.

Kangxi: "Master, do you know why I summoned you to the palace?"

Wu Chen opened his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing endless compassion and wisdom.

He held the Buddhist beads in front of his chest and spoke slowly in a gentle and solemn tone.

"Amitabha."

"I understand your Majesty's concerns. Your Majesty need not worry. Your Highness the Crown Prince will be blessed by heaven."

"There is indeed an opportunity for the Crown Prince in this election. Let everything take its course, and the good results will naturally appear."

"The Buddha said: 'All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning, they should be viewed in this way.'"

When Kangxi learned that there would be a chance for the crown prince in this election, didn't that mean that the destined person would be the first concubine?

He asked excitedly, "Is what the master said true?"

"Monks don't lie."

Kangxi was very happy to hear the other party's affirmative answer.

"Good, good, very good!"

A smile flashed in Yinreng's eyes. It seemed that the result would go according to his arrangements.

Kangxi: "Liang Jiugong!"

"The slave is here."

"Go and tell Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi to be very careful and thorough in this selection."

"Don't let anything go wrong! Otherwise, don't blame me for not honoring our past friendship!"

"And let Concubine Tong assist with the election. I will then personally meet with all the beauties!"

Liang Jiugong's spirits lifted, and he quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, I'll go right away."

After hearing the emperor's edict conveyed by Liang Jiugong, the four concubines in the harem were not as happy as Concubine Tong. Concubines Hui, Rong and Yi were so angry that their noses were about to be crooked.

As long as you ask, you will find out that originally there were only the emperor and the prince in the Qianqing Palace.

Later, for unknown reasons, the abbot of the Huguo Temple was summoned into the palace, but everyone knew that the prince had always been a Buddhist.

He even left the palace every month and became very familiar with the abbot of Huguo Temple.

Therefore, no one would believe the emperor's decree this time when it said it had nothing to do with the prince!

But they were not angry only because the emperor was partial to the prince.

After all, the emperor has been partial to the prince for more than ten years, and they are used to it.

What made them most angry was Concubine Tong's order to assist.

This is the message revealed by the emperor that he wants Concubine Tong to take power.

Of course they would not be happy to have one more person share the palace power with them.

Moreover, this person is from the Tong family, and the emperor has always been very fond of the Tong family.

Once Concubine Tong takes power, it will be very difficult to bring her down.

After much difficulty, Concubine De was demoted to Concubine De by the Emperor because the Crown Prince protected the Fourth Prince, and even her palace power was taken away from her.

They hadn't been able to feel at ease for long when another girl from the Tong family came to share power with them.

The huge mountain of Empress Xiaoyi, which had been weighing on their heads for more than ten years, was finally removed, and now a girl from the Tong family has come!

How could they accept being overtaken by a little girl?

Not only were the three concubines unhappy, but when Depin learned the news from her spies, a set of exquisite tea sets in Yonghe Palace was also scrapped.

They have been following Kangxi for decades. To reach their current position, Depin can also understand something about Kangxi's thoughts.

She knew that the emperor liked balance, whether in the front court or the harem.

Because the crown prince was around, he didn't want the girl from the Tong family to give birth to a prince, so he asked Empress Xiaoyi to take his fourth prince away.

But he didn't want the fourth child to become the prince of the Tong family, so the emperor never changed Yudie.

Even when Empress Xiaoyi requested the emperor to register the fourth son under her name before her death, the emperor did not agree.

Just to appease her, he made her the queen.

And she was only queen for one day!

After Empress Xiaoyi passed away, in order to maintain balance in the harem, the power of the palace was divided among the four concubines Hui, Yi, De and Rong.

But now she has been demoted to a concubine and has lost her power in the palace.

Originally she was not in a hurry as she already had two sons and a daughter.

For the sake of his three children, the emperor will sooner or later restore his position as concubine.

I still have time to plan slowly.

Who would have thought that the Tong family would give away another daughter.

This made Depin feel a sense of crisis. If there was another girl from the Tong family taking over her position as a concubine, wouldn't she be redundant?!

Originally, she was thinking about performing well in front of the emperor in the next few days.

She took control of the palace and then took advantage of the situation to have the emperor restore her position as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, before his plan even started, the emperor couldn't wait to share power with Concubine Tong!

Depin had a premonition that with Concubine Tong's intervention, it would be a long time before she could regain her position as a concubine.

Depin's face was distorted and she cursed under her breath.

"Tong family! Tong family! It's the Tong family again!"

"Can the Tong family survive without women?!"

"One after another, the Tong family girls were sent to the palace!"

"That bitch Xiaoyi is gone, and now here comes another one!"

"First you took my son away, and now you're taking away my position as concubine and my power in the palace!"

"It's all the fault of that ungrateful Yinzhen!"

"As expected, if you don't raise the child yourself, then you won't be close to him."

"If it weren't for him, the Emperor wouldn't have demoted me."

"Evil beast! I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place!"
