Empress Xiaozhao

"The imperial concubine gave birth to the Eighth Princess. I wonder if the imperial concubine would give birth to a princess or a prince at that time." With the three princes gathered together, there were many things that could be done. For example, he would be able to add a few more younger brothers and sisters to the discussion.

"If Imperial Concubine gives birth to a prince, I wonder what would happen to Fourth Brother in front of Frontier." This was what the First Prince had said. From the time the First Prince was born to the time he had lived alone at the Six Desiree Houses, he had always grown up beside the Imperial Consort Hui.

Other than working hard at the Six Houses of State for the next few days, the First Prince was extremely close to her birth mother, the Imperial Consort Hui. Although the royal family's children weren't brought up by the eldest mother, this didn't hinder the blood relationship between mother and son.

Currently, there were no conflicts of interest between the two parties involved. Regardless of whether it was the First or Third Prince, none of them had such sinister thoughts towards their royal brother or royal brother. Since there were no conflicts of interest, then it would be a fight in the open and in the dark.

"Frontier would presumably only raise his fourth royal brother by his side. Regardless of whether the Imperial Concubine has a royal brother or a royal sister, the Frontier will not raise them in front of them. "

Before he left, the crown prince knew that Liang Jiugong had told the emperor at the Ganxi Six Paths that the conversation between the empress and the fourth prince had been conducted in front of the crown prince. Now, the Emperor had let the Crown Prince know a few things.

"Although royal brother is worried, he has a point too. The Frontier has always treated us equally. Even though I do have some preference towards my fourth royal brother, my fourth royal brother had, after all, grown up in front of the Frontier all these years. "

On the side of the palace, the emperor learned that the imperial concubine had given birth to a princess. Although he had no intention to return to the palace, he had ordered the empress to hold at least three lavish banquets.

As for the Eighth Princess's Hundred Day Banquet, he would only start preparing it after three months. Furthermore, when Imperial Concubine Tong Yurao woke up and saw her frail daughter, there was no need to mention how sad she was. Originally, Tong Yurao could still console herself, although she was a princess, but at the very least, it proved that her body was fine and unharmed.

"The princess of my palace is naturally more valuable than the princess of the second imperial concubine."

"Imperial Concubine, Eighth Princess being diagnosed by the imperial physician is a natural deficiency. My body is weak, and I can't even easily catch a cold. "

Tong Family's mama also couldn't bear to speak of the words of assaulting Tong Yurao in such a straightforward manner, but even so, he had no choice but to speak of it. A princess that couldn't even mature was even less useful to an imperial concubine than the crippled Seventh Prince.

"Empress, you should listen to this old servant's words. Since Wen Gui Fei also has an imperial heir, it's clear that the Fourth Prince is with the empress. If imperial concubine were to give birth to a prince, it would be unnecessary. After all, the fourth prince has no relationship with the empress at all. "

"But Empress, if the Empress were to keep the Fourth Prince by her side, it would be better than if the Fourth Prince was disregarded in front of the Empress."

"Let me consider this matter carefully."

Tong Yurao knew these reasons, maybe this child really was fated for him. Looking at Eighth Princess, who was carried by his wet nurse, Tong Yurao had to plan for the worst at this time.

"Even if you want to keep the prince by my side, he shouldn't be the fourth prince, right?"

Tong Yurao did not like the people who were raised by the empress. The Fourth Prince could already tell that he was deeply influenced by the Empress, to say nothing of how much he valued rules and regulations. Other than the Queen, there was probably no one else in the harem who was so persistent.

"Empress, this Fourth Prince was chosen by the Old Master. The old master had said that after nurturing them in front of the empress, the fourth prince and empress would be centrifuged on so that they could feel their master's kindness towards them in the future. Besides, right now, there is still a Sixth Prince in the Imperial Consort De's Eternal Harmony Palace. "

From Tong Family's point of view, since it was useless for Eighth Princess, with Tong Yurao's current condition, the possibility of him having an heir in the future wouldn't be high either. Since that was the case, she might as well have requested a favor from the Emperor since it was the Emperor who had personally carried the Fourth Prince to the Empress. But on Jade Butterfly, the mother of the Fourth Prince was still a Imperial Consort De, after all.

He didn't know when the other imperial concubines would get pregnant, since they were already prepared for the Fourth Prince. Then wouldn't the Fourth Prince follow suit? Moreover, since the Imperial Consort De and Imperial Concubine were trying to express goodwill, the Imperial Consort De would probably agree to it as well.

The empress's body had long since been hollowed out and she looked fine, but who knew if she was holding on. "Not everyone is as blessed as the current empress dowager." We must definitely persuade the Empress to give up on Eighth Princess. "

Currently, the one in charge of Tong Family was Tong Guowei. Although Tong Guowei was Tong Tu Lai's second son, he was the father of the current imperial concubine.

"The heavy responsibility this Imperial Concubine has is to bring this Tong Family back to the prosperity of the past. If they did not have a prince, how would the Tong Family be able to talk about He Xing Sheng? " As for whether or not his daughter was his flesh and blood, Tong Guowei did not care. Tong Guowei had a clear understanding of his own daughter's body.

Aside from scheming a way to survive, the second most important thing for the royal family was their physical condition. Back then, when the empress had fainted, the imperial physician was helpless to do anything. Everyone thought that the empress would pass away just like that, but no one expected her to wake up again. Since the empress had recovered, the harem still respected the empress.

It was impossible for Tong Family to not have any thoughts back then, but it just so happened that everyone's calculations came to naught. At this point, everyone could only hope that their daughter, whom they had sent to the palace, would help the emperor produce a prince to continue his bloodline. This way, he could have hope for his family in the future.

"I understand A Ma's intentions. This mama will wait a few more days, just let me accompany the Eighth Princess for a few more days." The family was something that he could not abandon. Back when he first entered the palace, Tong Yurao had already known about it already. His mission was to strengthen the Tong Family, but now he had to abandon his own daughter for the clan.

She had been in the Imperial Palace for nearly ten years. Logically speaking, the Imperial Concubine should have already adapted to such a cruel action. However, all these years, the Emperor had never lacked Tong Yurao for favors and rewards. From the moment she entered the palace to the present imperial concubine, other than the empress, no one would dare to do anything to Tong Yurao.

The Queen would also never ruin her own image for Tong Yurao. As long as the Emperor could not be crippled, the Queen's position would always be stable. Since that was the case, how could the empress make a mistake for no reason and let the emperor have an excuse to abolish her empire?

This stay, in the blink of an eye, had reached the month of June, which was twenty-two years for Kang Xi. Twenty two years was an extremely special year, and because there was one more June in this year, it made the Beijing feel even hotter in the past. But in Regeneration Palace, his health was not good and he had almost never stopped using medicine since he was born.

"Empress, you have to make a decision early. You have to know, the longer you stay, the better it will be for the Empress, the Tong Family and even the Eighth Princess."

For the Tong Family, everyone was trying to persuade Tong Yurao to make a decision earlier and to not hesitate.

While the emperor was in the palace, he received a secret letter that Shi Lang had sent over from Fujian.

On the fourteenth day of June, Shi Lang led the water army and set out from Copper Mountain.

"Copper Mountain is the most advantageous port in the Xiamen, and it is also the most convenient location from all the waterways of the Penghu Islands. This is a path that the three generations of Zheng's family s have always chosen. "

During the selection process, Shi Lang had an unavoidable dispute with the other generals over where to start from. Because Shi Lang himself had been in the Zheng's family for the past few years, he had a plan on how to get to the island. However, it was clear that the other generals did not think this way.

"It's not that we don't believe General Shi's words, but even so, how could the Zheng's family not think of something? Could it be that there really is no one that can be used in Zheng's family? It is obvious that it cannot be done. "

The few of them were soon at a loss because of this route. The emperor had personally appointed Shi Lang as the commander, but these generals under Shi Lang's command, regardless of whether they were officials or their family, they could not tolerate Shi Lang making the decision on his own.

If he was not careful, Shi Lang believed that he would be found out by the others for being arrogant. It was enough for him to only have learnt his lesson once in his entire life in the Zheng's family.

"To tell you the truth, ever since His Majesty gave the order to give this stone to me, this person, Shi, has already been scouted by the difference person when they went to Penghu Island. The news that came back these days was also beneficial to us. It was only because of this decision that everyone present had come to such a decision. I hope everyone will believe me. "

What Shi Lang said was not empty words. In the past year in Xiamen, he did not do nothing. Find local fishermen to get a better understanding of the windy weather, when the tide is high and when the tide is low. Shi Lang knew that his life by the sea made him realize that only fishermen who lived by the sea would understand the sea better.

"Furthermore, the Feng Family now has almost all of Zheng Keshuang's authority, and the Zheng Family's few uncles, in order to compete with Feng Xifan, have always neglected to manage places other than the Sky Bearing Empire. This is also something that I have been understanding for the past half year. "

If Shi Lang wanted others to believe him, he could only choose to tell them what he knew, knew, and paid attention to these past few years. As long as there were reasonable grounds, Shi Lang knew that there would definitely be no one who would be able to refute him after this.

In the end, they still chose the path that Shi Lang suggested. From the information on the wind and the defenses of the Zheng Jiayan, Shi Lang had finally decided on the Copper Mountain, and from the looks of it, it was indeed the best mountain. From Mount Copper, they travelled through the strait between the Golden Gate and Mount Copper, the first to arrive at the Penghu Islands.
