Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 200

Since the reinstatement of the crown prince, all elder brothers have been fighting for the crown with great fanfare behind their backs, among which the eighth elder brother Yinhu is the most prominent.Kangxi hated the faction for a long time, and was finally furious in court.

The words are: "The second elder brother is rebellious and loses people's hearts many times, while Yinhu often wins people's hearts. The danger of this person is actually a hundred times that of the second elder brother."

As soon as this remark came out, it almost ruined the possibility of the eighth elder brother inheriting the throne.

When the news reached the harem, Concubine Liang fainted immediately, and died of illness in Zhongcui Palace within a few days.

When Wang Miheng heard the news, she was overwhelmed with embarrassment. Ever since Kangxi uttered the phrase "Xinzheku bitch", the concubine Liang had been ill, but now she passed away because of the eighth elder brother.

"Has the emperor been there?" Wang Miheng asked.

Qiumei shook her head, and Wang Miheng knew that Kangxi angered Concubine Liang because of the eighth elder brother.

Wang Miheng shook his head helplessly, but he also knew that this was the only way to go.

Qianqing Palace

Kangxi was sitting on a soft couch, playing chess with Brother Fourteen.

Since the eighth elder brother was rejected, the fourteenth elder brother has become more and more important to Kangxi, and he is often summoned.

"I've been to your starling these days."

Yinzhen stood up immediately, knelt down and said: "Huang Ama calm down." He lowered his head, but his body was kneeling straight, Kangxi's face remained unchanged, and he only said lightly: "Get up, and then accompany me down chess."

Listening to Kangxi's words, Yinzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat back down again.

Kangxi said with some emotion: "In these years, you have made great progress."

"Huang Ama's words are serious, and my ministers should share the worries of Huang Ama."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and put down his son, making a crisp sound.

After the fourteenth elder brother knelt down, Kangxi motioned for someone to put the chess pieces in order.

"My sons are all looking forward to sharing my worries."

Li Dequan stood there, his face froze when he heard this, he didn't dare to speak, he only sighed slightly in his heart.

Later, Kangxi stopped the notification from the court ladies and eunuchs, and quietly stepped into the Qixiang Palace.

Wang Miheng was sitting on the soft couch reading a book, when suddenly his hands were empty and had been snatched away.

Don't even think about it, you know who snatched it away.

Wang Miheng turned his head, smiled, and ordered Qiumei to serve tea.

"It's fine, what does the emperor want to do?"

These years, Kangxi has become more and more unstable in front of her, sometimes like a child.

"What a good book, I read it so carefully, I don't even know when I'm here." Kangxi closed the book, glanced at the words on the cover, and stopped talking.

"I don't understand, what's so good about these novels." Kangxi looked disgusted, but he didn't reprimand.

Over the years, Kangxi has accepted this matter subtly.

"There's nothing good or bad, it's just idle and boring." Wang Miheng said casually.

Kangxi glanced at her, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

Soon, Qiumei brought tea, Wang Miheng stretched out his hand to take it, and retreated without waiting for her order.

"The concubine heard that the emperor has often summoned the fourteenth brother these few days." Wang Miheng stood there and said casually.

If someone else asked this question, Kangxi would definitely condemn her for meddling in politics, but these years Kangxi often talked about court affairs in front of Wang Miheng, so naturally he would not take it to heart.

Kangxi nodded, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes: "Did someone tell you something?"

Wang Miheng shook his head, stepped forward and handed the teacup into his hand: "Who would say anything to the concubine, but the emperor often summons him, and the concubine will know if she doesn't want to."

Listening to Wang Miheng's words, Kangxi nodded his head, stroking the teacup with his fingers, and his eyes showed deep meaning.

"I heard that the fourteenth old Fujin entered the palace to serve the sick a few days ago?" Kangxi asked casually.

Wang Miheng nodded: "It is said that he caught cold in the middle of the night and his body is heavy."

"Well, is there any movement on the fourth side?"

Listening to Kangxi's words, Wang Miheng knew his focus was here.

Wang Miheng thought for a while, and then said: "Sifu Jin just entered the palace today, I heard that Concubine De held her and talked for a long time."

When Kangxi heard this, his face sank.

Wang Miheng glanced at him, but did not speak.

Now the second elder brother will no longer be the prince for life, and the eldest and eighth elder brothers have no possibility of succeeding to the throne. Although the third elder brother Yinzhi is the prince of He Shuocheng, he is honest and good at painting and calligraphy.The fifth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother were raised by the queen mother. They are loyal and filial, and they have no desire to compete for the reserve.

In this way, there are only two people left who have the possibility of succession, that is, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.

Concubine De had always been extremely indifferent to Si elder brother, but now she was willing to talk kindly to Si Fujin, presumably she had some calculations in her heart.

It's just that she doesn't know whether she wants to treat her two sons well, so that no matter who succeeds her in the future, she can become the Empress Dowager, or she wants the fourth elder brother to help her most beloved son inherit the throne.

Wang Miheng looked at Kangxi without saying a word, and tightened his hand holding the handkerchief slightly. If Concubine De is allowed to be the Queen Mother, with her means...

Kangxi saw her actions, but did not speak.

Yonghe Palace

Concubine De looked at Sifu Jin who was entering the palace to serve the sick, although she had a smile on her face, she really didn't want to see this daughter-in-law in her heart.

With Xu Zhen's temperament, how could he marry such a well-behaved Fujin.

It's better to be the fourteenth Fujin, who often chats and laughs with her. With her around, her mood is naturally much better.

"I heard that Yinzhen is diligently studying Buddhism these days, but is it true?"

Hearing her words, Sifujin hurriedly responded: "Yes, Lao Erniang is worried."

Concubine De sat on the soft couch, she opened her mouth and said nothing, she just glanced at the two maids beside her, and said: "He is still young, how could he be addicted to Buddhism, these two court ladies look very good at me , you take it back and be a princess."

After hearing this, Si Fujin only responded softly: "Yes, the people around Er Niang are naturally sensible."

Seeing her like this, Concubine De lost interest.At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Fourteen Fujin came in with a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge, and said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law made some porridge by herself, would you like to try it?"

After hearing this, Concubine De only smiled and nodded, her gaze stayed on Si Fujin for a second, and she said: "You are a filial person, and you are tired of serving me all day, so go back first."

Only then did Si Fujin stand up and bless his body: "Yes, my wife is retiring."

The two maids knelt down to give a big gift to Concubine De, and followed Si Fujin out of the palace gate.

After Si Fujin left, Concubine De said with emotion: "This fourth Fujin is too dull."

A smile flashed in Fourteen Fujin's eyes, but he said: "Er Niang doesn't know, Fourth Sister-in-law is a virtuous and virtuous woman, and Fourth Elder Brother values ​​her very much."

Concubine De glanced at her indifferently, and said: "Okay, after a few days the palace will send her into the palace again, and I can rest assured that your sisters-in-law get along well with each other."

After finishing speaking, he stared closely at Fourteen Fujin standing there.

Fourteen Fujin already understood in his heart, he only smiled and said: "Yes, if Er Niang doesn't say anything, the daughter-in-law will respect the fourth sister-in-law."

Concubine De nodded and did not speak any more.

Now fourteen is valued by the emperor, as long as the fourth child also helps him, nothing will happen.

Although the emperor said that he would not establish a prince, there must always be someone who will inherit the throne.

When Si Fujin returned to the palace, Yinyu was eating with Si elder brother.

Seeing her come in, she quickly stood up and called Sisao Si.

Si Fujin dodged her body, not daring to bear it, but she heard the fourth elder brother say: "Ms. Defei is better." Before she could speak, she saw two maids standing behind her, and naturally guessed what was going on Something, his face sank all of a sudden.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not good, Yinyu only asked: "Sister-in-law Si, are these two palace maids rewarded by Empress Defei?"

Sifujin nodded, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Yinzhen's face.

Yinzhen closed his eyes, opened them again, and said coldly, "Move to the west courtyard, and I won't have to ask for greetings from now on."

After hearing this, Si Fujin breathed a sigh of relief. Xiyuan is a place where people who make mistakes are restricted. Thinking about it, he quickly asked someone to arrange it, and he also retreated.

Sitting at the table, Yinzhen took a sneak peek at Yinzhen and said, "It's just two court ladies, if fourth brother doesn't want to see you, it's fine if you don't see him."

After hearing his words, Yinzhen couldn't help smiling wryly, it became easier to say anything from his mouth.

Yinyu moved closer to him, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Brother thinks, Fourth Brother should go there in person tomorrow. Huang Ama's patience will run out one day."

Yinzhen nodded, with a hint of deep meaning hidden in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Yinyu just smiled, filled the glass with wine, raised the glass and said: "Little brother will accompany fourth brother to have a few more drinks."

Yinzhen took a sip, and said: "You should go back earlier, after all, there is still a side Fujin in the mansion."

"It's okay, the younger brother is with the fourth brother."

On the second day, Yinzhen really went to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects.

Only this time, Concubine De's attitude was very good. Seeing Yinzhen come in, she ordered the small kitchen to cook some delicious dishes.

Yinzhen sat at the table, looked at the exquisite food in front of him, and only sneered in his heart.

Concubine De saw that he was indifferent, although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she smiled lightly and said: "You haven't come to Er Niang for a long time, Er Niang misses you very much."

Yinzhen's eyes flickered, and he said respectfully, "I'm sorry to trouble my mother."

Concubine De took a look at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Now your fourteenth brother is valued by your Huang Ama, you should take good care of him as an elder brother."

After saying this, he picked up another dish with chopsticks and put it in Yinzhen's bowl.

Concubine De didn't realize that this was what Elder Fourteen loved to eat.

"He is your own younger brother. Your Huang Ama has always attached great importance to the words "brother, friend, brother, respectful." Er Niang, this is also for your own good."

Sitting there, Yinzhen couldn't help blushing his eyes, and finally answered yes, but clenched his fists tightly. This was also for his own good.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes, hiding the anger in his eyes, then got up and said: "My son still has something to do, so I will leave first."

Coming out of Yonghe Palace, Yinzhen's face was full of anger, and his heart became cold little by little.

Unexpectedly, just one day later, Concubine De became seriously ill.

There were rumors in the palace that it was the fourth elder brother who was disobedient and unfilial, so he got angry with the concubine Defei.
