Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanlin put her hands on the ground and knocked her forehead against the ground.

"In reply to the Emperor, although rumors are hurtful, they have already been spread."

"Even if it can be cleared up, this servant has already been tainted."

"I know I am not worthy of that status. Please, Your Majesty, rescind your offer."

"I am willing to enter the Fourth Prince's backyard as a concubine and serve him."

"I will never let the reputation of my masters be tarnished."

Wanlin deliberately emphasized the word "masters".

Several people present who knew the situation heard that this was not just about the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

I'm talking about the prince and the emperor.

It is impossible for the prince to marry a princess with a blemish on her reputation.

Regardless of whether he is the Fourth Prince or the Crown Prince, they are both the Emperor's sons.

If his son is disgraced, then his father, the emperor, will not be much better.

Kangxi said in an ambiguous tone, "Oh? A concubine."

"As a legitimate daughter of the Guwalja Prefecture, my father is the general of Fuzhou and a third-class earl."

"My mother is a daughter of a prince."

"With such a noble status, she can only marry a bald prince and become a concubine."

"Don't you feel unwilling?"

"Won't you resent the Fourth Prince for saving you?"

"If he hadn't had physical contact with you because he saved you, your innocence would still be there. You could have become the legitimate wife, or even held a higher position."

"I dare not and I won't!"

"Fourth Prince saved my life. I am only grateful, not resentful at all!"

When Wanyu heard her sister say that she wanted to be the Fourth Prince's concubine, she was shocked.

"elder sister...."

Wanlin interrupted her sister in time with a stubborn look on her face.

"Sister, there's no need to say more. I've made up my mind."

[Sister, I'm not sure if the Emperor will let you into Yuqing Palace.]

[But now my sister's fate is determined. The Emperor will not let her marry anyone else.]

[Sister, if you can finally enter the Fourth Prince's backyard as you wish, I will be worthy of everyone except you.]

[I wonder if you will be implicated by my sister...]

Wanlin felt complicated and indescribable, and her eyes were filled with guilt when she looked at Wanyu.

Kangxi was very satisfied when he saw Wanlin's tact.

(It’s no wonder that she’s the Crown Princess I trained myself, but it’s such a pity.)

(That bastard Lao Si got a good deal...)

Kangxi was satisfied with Wanlin's actions, and then he looked at Wanyu.

This is the focus of his attention today.

He is also the person he wants to investigate.

He didn't know whether this little princess could take on the responsibilities of the Crown Princess.

So he deliberately asked the two of them about what had happened a few days ago and asked them how they wanted to deal with it.

Wanyu felt the guilt in Wanlin's eyes and thought that her sister felt guilty about the family's upbringing.

A good Crown Princess can bring a lot of glory and invisible benefits to the family.

Now she has to enter the backyard of a bald prince and become a concubine who is looked down upon by others.

Not only did the family's expectations fall through, but the Guwalja clan also lost face.

Wanyu looked back at Wanlin and smiled gently, "If you have made up your mind, I will support your decision."

When Shi Wanqing heard Wanlin say that she was willing to be a concubine, she was shocked.

However, although he somewhat disagreed, he also knew that the imperial power could not be questioned.

She felt sorry for her cousin who could have become the Crown Princess but could only be a concubine now.

But thinking of the brief historical description of Crown Princess Guaerjia, Wanyu felt that fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

Therefore, although she felt complicated, she was actually happy with the result.

"A momentary loss of face is nothing. It's much better than losing your life later!"

She knew that the prince would be deposed and reinstated twice in the later period.

If this is the case for the prince who is favored by the emperor, then life for my sister, the crown princess, will be even more difficult in the palace.

And she knew that the Crown Princess was not favored in history.

Although Kangxi was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, her survival in the harem still depended on the favor, respect and trust of the male master in the mansion.

If the Crown Prince is not satisfied with the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess will not have an easy time in Yuqing Palace.

Her limited historical knowledge told her that her sister had only given birth to one daughter for the prince in her lifetime, and that the prince's favorite in history seemed to be Li Jia.

The heir who was valued by the prince was Prince Hongxi, who was born to Li Jia.

The legitimate daughter born to her elder sister ended up marrying into Mongolia and died young, a tragic fate.

Now that her sister has the opportunity to change this kind of life, how can she bear to break it?

And Yinzhen will eventually be the heir to the throne.

Even if my sister only gave birth to a daughter in this life.

For Emperor Yongzheng, who only had one daughter in his life and died young.

I think even if she is a daughter, the treatment will not be too bad.

It's much better than the ending of the prince's daughter in history.

Yongzheng had few children, so as long as his sister could give birth to a child, she would have children and a family to rely on, and she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life.

And maybe in this life, my sister will have a lot of children in Yinzhen's backyard.

Wanyu thought so, her eyes and heart were full of hope, and she gave her sister great blessings for her sister's future.

The changes in the expressions of the two men were all seen by Kangxi.

He thought that the two little princesses below were willing to bear this loss for themselves and their family for the sake of royal face.

He felt that they were sensible and loyal to the royal family and him as the emperor.

So Kangxi was very satisfied with the performance of both of them.

Kangxi, who originally had some concerns about Wanyu, now had to sigh that the Guwalja clan was really well-educated and loyal to him.

Kangxi was satisfied and ordered Liang Jiugong to take two jade ruyi and give them to the two men.

Then he let the two of them leave the palace and return home.

The two people who returned to Guwaljia Prefecture were unanimously cared for and asked by their elders.

Everyone gathered in the main courtyard of Jueluo and Shi Huashan.

Wanlin, with a look of guilt on her face, told her family what had happened during the time she was in the palace.

Shi Huashan sighed and said, "It's fate."

"It's just that our Guwalja Prefecture doesn't have this kind of luck."

"That's it, that's all."

Wanlin said somewhat uncomfortably, "It's all my granddaughter's fault."

"If my granddaughter hadn't acted so carelessly, this wouldn't have happened."

"It is my granddaughter who has failed Mafa and Ama's teachings and the family's expectations."

Shi Wenbing's face was full of disappointment and regret.

Shi Huashan shook his head and said, "Lin'er, don't worry about it."

"Now that it has come to this, there is no point in saying more."

"It seems that the emperor has tacitly approved your entry into the Fourth Prince's backyard."

"It's just that this position is still uncertain."

"If the Emperor considers our Guarjia clan's loyalty, he might make an exception and grant you the position of concubine."

"With our family background, we are more than qualified to be a prince's wife."

"Being a concubine is really unfair to you."

Jueluo was also very regretful and distressed about her granddaughter.

But the result has already come out, and it will be useless to keep feeling disappointed and upset.

It would be better to think of a way to let the granddaughter live in the Fourth Prince's backyard so that her life would be better.

"Alas, whether it's a concubine or a princess."

"Big brother's wife, you should start preparing Lin'er's dowry soon."

"Many things are not convenient to be sent to the prince's mansion as dowry. You should exchange them for silver notes for Lin'er."

"Give Lin'er some extra money. Even with the pressure of the legitimate wife, her life won't be too bad."

Xiao Jueluo wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."
