Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 93
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the threshold of Chengqian Palace was almost broken by people who came and went to celebrate.

Although things like the Queen's Hall and sacrifices were not held.But these people who came to the door have already yelled one queen at a time.

At first, the queen still felt apprehensive and uneasy.But as time went by, I got used to this change.

In the Forbidden City, the Kunning Palace, where the empress used to live, was converted into a place for worshiping gods after the death of Empress Xiaozhao.When he arrived at Empress Tong Jia's place, he also stayed in Chengqian Palace.

According to the Queen's words, it is: "Although Kunning Palace is good, it is not my home. The more than ten years of Chengqian Palace bear more memories."

...

At the end of January, it coincides with the day when I go to the study to rest.

Yinzhen slept for more than half an hour that day, and didn't get up until Chenshi.

After eating breakfast, it was originally a time of leisure.But the eunuch outside came in to announce that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yuqing Palace had come.

After the imperial decree came down, the Hesheli family also sent many congratulatory gifts.Although the prince did not come in person, Yuqing Palace also sent a congratulatory gift alone.

It's rare to rest today, but the prince came early in the morning?

"The prince is here?"

At the mention of this title, the queen felt a twinge in her heart, and she was not so willing to see the prince.

The prince has a special status, and the concubines have very little contact with him.Empress Xiaocheng died after giving birth to the prince, and Empress Xiaozhao died after raising the prince for half a year.

So later, the prince went to Lord Kangxi to raise him himself.

When the queen adopted the child, she never thought about the prince.There was a secret rumor in the palace that the prince's fate was hard to come by, and the empress had some grudges about it.

"Second brother is here, let's meet Queen Mother." Yinzhen looked at the empress with a look of embarrassment on her face, but still tugged at her sleeve and said, "Please have a good time, it's not good to turn me away."

"Okay." The queen nodded and returned to the main hall of Chengqian Palace, ready to meet the prince.

The prince came alone, and left the sedan chair and his entourage outside the gate of Chengqian Palace.

Walking on the bluestone slab path, the prince had a spring-like smile on his face, which didn't change at all for a quarter of an hour.

In the main hall, there is a curling fragrance from the incense burner.The queen sat upright at the head, looking at the person who walked in step by step.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

The prince dressed himself and saluted. Although he did not make a big salute, he was still very respectful.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came earlier, he would be able to have breakfast with me and the fourth elder brother." The queen's words were also very polite, and she hurriedly beckoned the prince to sit down.

"Come here alone, I didn't even think about having breakfast."

Suddenly, a slightly unruly sentence made the empress and Yinzhen's expressions change immediately.

"I came here alone, one is to pay my respects to the queen mother, and the other is to come and see my fourth brother." The prince said with a smile, and cast his eyes on Yinzhen with great interest.

"In the future, Gu will become more intimate with all the brothers, and with the fourth brother."

Get closer to Yinzhen?
Empress Xiaozhao has no heirs, and the crown prince is the only legitimate son of Lord Kangxi.

But right now...

Yinzhen, who was raised under the queen's knees since childhood, can also be regarded as a legitimate son in name.Therefore, when the prince's words are studied carefully, this should be the meaning of what he said.

The prince was established as the crown prince from his infancy, not only because Lord Kangxi at that time wanted to stabilize the political situation.The more reason is that he is the legitimate son.

Now there is an extra son...

The prince squinted his eyes, as if he was watching Yinzhen's reaction.

Yinzhen looked at the teacup beside his hand, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head as if he noticed the prince's eyes.

"Among all the brothers, I respect the second brother the most."

"It's just that the second brother seldom comes to Chengqian Palace, and has never had more opportunities to discuss with each other. If the second brother comes here often in the future, the younger brother and the second brother will indeed be the closest among the brothers."

In Yinzhen's seemingly innocuous words, there was a little more meaning of fighting against the prince.

Of course he respected the prince without a doubt.But now, besides Huang Ama, the prince has another queen mother.

He can respect the prince, but he also hopes that the prince has the same respect for the queen.

After hearing Yinzhen's words, the crown prince raised his lips again.

"Fourth brother, Gu will remember." The prince smiled and said: "The Queen's Lady is also the Queen's Mother. In the future, Gu will respect the Queen's Lady as much as she treats Huang Ama."

When there was not much gossip, the scene seemed a little awkward for a while.The prince also seemed bored, so he got up and asked to leave.

After the prince left, the queen looked at Yinzhen with more tenderness in her eyes.

Her son, has grown up and is able to take on some responsibilities.

...

Outside Chengqian Palace, the prince had just walked to the gate of the palace when he bumped into Tong Jia Xili who was coming from the Palace of Compassion and Ning in a sedan chair.

Tong Jia Xili got out of the sedan chair, and was curiously looking at another sedan chair parked on the side.

"This sedan chair?"

Just when he asked, the prince had already walked behind Tong Jia Xili.

"It's lonely." The prince said abruptly: "I came to Chengqian Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I never thought that I would have such a relationship with Tong Gege, and we met outside."

"Heh..." Tong Jia Xili smiled awkwardly, bowed and saluted and said: "My daughter has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince raised his eyebrows, wondering if he had listened to Tong Jiaxili's words, so he just said to himself: "However, Tong Gege should come here every time he is on vacation in the study, right?"

"If it seems that it's not that Gu and Tong Gege are destined, it's just that Gu just came by coincidence, so he met Tong Gege, right?"

This is really too straightforward.

Tong Jia Xili frowned involuntarily, and replied: "The courtiers often come to pay respects to the empress, they don't pick their days."

"Oh." The prince responded lightly, and he was about to leave.

But just after walking a few steps, before Tong Jia Xili had time to start walking in, the footsteps of the prince in front suddenly stopped.

"The fourth elder brother is the queen's adopted son. It is indeed a good choice for the entire Tong family."

"but…"

After leaving an unfinished sentence, the prince really got on the sedan chair and left.

Tong Jia Xili stood where she was, looking at the prince who was gradually going away, her eyes gradually deepened.

Prince, you must be planning something.

Did he think that she, Tong Jia Xili, was a bargaining chip brought out by the Tong family to firmly bind Yinzhen?

PS: Guess what the prince wants to do?
The answer to the mystery will be revealed to everyone on the way of the southern tour. (Of course, he will not succeed!)
