The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 203

Before the first month, the atmosphere in Prince Yong's Mansion was a little depressing.The women in the backyard and the attendants in the palace clearly felt that their prince's heart was not going well.Everyone saw that the prince's originally cold and serious face was now becoming more and more gloomy, and they all served him carefully, for fear of accidentally offending the prince and directing the prince's anger to themselves, becoming the prince's punching bag.

The reason why Yinzhen was so depressed was because when he went to visit Yinxiang in the beekeeping lane two days ago, he found that the old disease on Yinxiang's leg became more and more serious, to the point where he couldn't walk on the ground, and the pain was unbearable at night. Can't sleep.However, not only did the palace guards in charge of guarding Yinxiang not report the matter to Kangxi, they even never invited an imperial physician to treat Yinxiang.

Yinzhen knew very well in his heart that the reason why the palace people dared to treat the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang like this was nothing more than seeing that Kangxi hated Yinxiang, and since Yinxiang was banned in the beekeeping circle, he left him behind , ignore it.It so happened that Yinxiang's old illness relapsed this time, and it just happened to be in time for the Spring Festival.Everyone saw that Kangxi's thoughts were on the newly-appointed imperial concubine, and he was very fond of Yinxi, the 21st elder brother born by the imperial concubine, so the palace people naturally wondered about Kangxi's attitude secretly, and couldn't help but think a little more in their hearts .

The maids and eunuchs in the palace spread rumors that the emperor moved all the plum trees planted by Yikun Palace for his biological mother, Empress Dowager Tong, to the Imperial Garden for the sake of the concubine's love for lively peach blossoms. Planted peach blossoms all over the yard.It is said that in early April, pink peach blossoms bloom one after another, looking from a distance, they are as bright as clouds.

What is even more unbelievable is that the emperor gradually changed his view of plum blossoms because of the imperial concubine's judgment on plum blossoms and peach blossoms.I don't know whether it was intentional or not, since the last time the imperial concubine had an accident in the side hall of Xianfu Palace, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to not use patterns and decorations related to plum blossoms when preparing clothes for the imperial concubine.The thoughtful palace people in the palace center couldn't help guessing secretly that maybe the emperor disliked the plum blossom and the concubine's fate, so they were especially taboo.

Now who in the palace doesn't know that the emperor is very concerned about the dragon fetus in the womb of the imperial concubine, and is looking forward to the birth of the 22nd elder brother with joy, how can he care about an elder brother who is despised by him?Because of such thoughts, the guards in charge of Yinxiang suppressed the news of Yinxiang's illness privately, and no one wanted to report this bad news to the emperor during the festive days of the new year.

When Yinzhen originally decided to abandon Nian Xilan, there was a wave of guilt in his heart, but at this time, seeing Kangxi's attitude towards Yinxi, the 21st elder brother of Nian Xilan, and Yinxiang, the thirteenth elder brother, is simply heaven and earth. In spite of the difference, a feeling of venting anger towards Nian Xilan inevitably arose in his heart.

While suppressing his longing and reluctance for Nian Xilan in his heart, Yinzhen also wanted to get angry because of Yinxiang's illness. In just one night, two or three blisters appeared on Yinzhen's lips.

Although Yinzhen is obsessed with the throne, he has always loved his thirteenth brother Yinxiang, who grew up with him since he was a child.After thinking about it, Yinzhen couldn't bear to watch Yinxiang suffer in the beekeeping.When Yinzhen thought that his thirteenth brother, who was young and well-versed in both civil and military skills, was likely to hurt his legs due to this stubborn disease, he would not only be unable to ride a horse in the future, but even walk with a limp, Yinzhen felt that he couldn't bear it.

Therefore, Yinzhen didn't care about the principles of abstaining from urgency, forbearance, thinking twice before acting, and being alone. On the second day when he learned of Yinxiang's condition, he went to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint, and reported the matter to Kangxi.

Kangxi also didn't expect Yinxiang's leg disease to be so severe, frowning, he sent an imperial physician to treat him.After the imperial physician diagnosed and treated Yinxiang, he found that Yinxiang's leg disease had reached the point of no delay.

According to the imperial physician, if Yinxiang's legs are to be restored to their original state, besides timely and careful treatment with medication, he also needs to change to a suitable place for recuperation and take care of him for half a year.If Yinxiang is allowed to stay in the cold and humid beekeeping tunnel, Yinxiang's leg problems will become more and more serious.And as long as there is another half month's delay, Yinxiang's legs will turn into crane knees, and it will be considered completely useless.

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, his eyebrows were tightened even more, and a complex look flashed in his deep phoenix pupils.

Yinzhen felt anxious and couldn't hold back the worry and anxiety in his heart anymore. He knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times to Kangxi, begging Kangxi to forgive Yinxiang's sins and allow Yinxiang to return to his home to recuperate. .

When Kangxi saw that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who is now his most promising candidate for the crown prince, pleaded with him again for Yinxiang, he couldn't help but think of what Yinxiang did back then, and a rush of anger suddenly surged in his heart. He snorted coldly and gritted his teeth in anger. Said: "Are you sure you want to intercede for Yinxiang? Do you know what good things he did back then that made me so disappointed in him, and imprisoned him in the beekeeping lane regardless of the relationship between father and son, so that he could reflect on himself? "

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, and still unwilling to defend Yinxiang, he said: "The thirteenth brother has a straightforward personality and doesn't care about trivial matters. Back then, the reason why he would bluntly speak out about the prince's faults in front of all brothers should be because he was right about the matter and not about others. I still hope Emperor Ama Mingjian!"

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Yinzhen faintly, then walked to the window, gently opened the window, looking at the snow-capped midwinter scene outside the window, feeling a sense of bleakness surged in his heart.

Kangxi sighed softly, and said slowly: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. The old fourteen is also outspoken, and he once bluntly said the prince's fault. Why didn't I despise the old fourteen, but only circled Yinxiang? "
