"Fifth sister-in-law, I'm fine...you don't have to worry." Siyan sniffed slightly, then raised his head and looked at Wanyue.
Wanyue saw that she looked calm now, so it was probably nothing serious.
Unexpectedly, what Siyan said next almost made Wanyue's jaw drop.
"My second brother recently wanted to change his official position. He approached me privately and asked me to persuade the prince, but I didn't agree. Unexpectedly, my second brother actually asked the prince for help."
Wanyue was startled and said in great surprise: "If I remember correctly, doesn't your second brother serve in Huguang? Foreign officials without Zhao are not allowed to enter the capital. How did he meet the prince?"
According to the laws of this dynasty, local officials are not allowed to enter the capital without an order. Wanyue is really curious about how Gengyao met the prince in person and privately this year.
Wanyue was still thinking, but the next moment Siyan quickly raised her hand to deny it.
"No, my second brother did not come to Beijing. He contacted the prince privately while the prince was on an inspection trip to Huguang. The prince specifically informed me of the matter when he came back."
Siyan felt a little guilty when she thought of the prince's expression when he told her this matter. The prince must have been unhappy at that time, right?!
My brother did this too unproportionally. None of the Crown Princess's family members have ever sought official positions from the Crown Prince. How could she, a concubine, allow her family members to be granted official titles?
What's more, when the prince arranges official positions, he always depends on the official's ability, not his relationship.
When Wanyue heard what Si Yan said, she immediately thought of what she had heard in her previous life. At that time, Nian Gengyao was proud of his merits. It was said that he even coveted the throne and was finally eliminated by Yongzheng.
Could it be that in this life, Nian Gengyao still ended up as he did in his previous life - proud of his merits and coveting the throne?
This is definitely not possible. Although Nian Gengyao has made great achievements in the military, his temperament is too high. If he is not trained, he will definitely end up dead in the future.
But it's still early for the crown prince to succeed to the throne. If Nian Gengyao's temperament can be adjusted a little, maybe things can change?
The prince himself is humble and polite, and the people under his command also know etiquette well after his training. Wanyue believes that as long as the prince is determined to conquer Nian Gengyao, there is nothing he can't do.
So he immediately comforted Siyan, "Don't worry, I think the prince has his own arrangements for your second brother."
"I'm just worried that the prince is treating me..." Siyan sighed, obviously already complaining about her second brother contacting the prince directly without her.
As soon as Wanyue heard Siyan's words, she knew in her heart that Siyan was worried about falling out of favor in front of the prince in the future, and was not really worried about Nian Gengyao.
Siyan was indeed worried that she would lose the favor of the prince. In addition, since the prince moved into Yuqing Palace, several ladies in the palace had given many women to the prince. Although the prince had no intention of favoring them, he could not resist the tricks of those charming ladies.
No, the prince unexpectedly favored a palace maid last month, which made Si Yan extremely sad.
Before the eighth prince became the prince, Siyan once thought that she was the most favored woman, but after moving into the palace, she realized that she was only favored because there were not many women in the palace.
Everything is different now. The prince is busy with political affairs all day long. Every time he comes to her room, he just sits for a while. Even their children, he only takes a few glances and then leaves.
The prince was too busy, but there was nothing she could do to stop the prince from doting on the women sent by the ladies. Even the princess was powerless to stop him. What right did she, a concubine, have to fight against the ladies in the harem?
Especially for Concubine De, Siyan had long heard that the Crown Prince was not on good terms with the current Prince Lian, but Concubine De sent four maids to Yuqing Palace last month.
On the surface, it was said that Yuqing Palace did not have enough manpower, but Siyan looked at it and saw where the manpower was. It was clearly Concubine De who had sent people to create trouble for them.
Seeing that Siyan was tightening the handkerchief in her hand, Wanyue couldn't help but persuade her.
"The prince must be busy with political affairs now. My prince is much more leisurely than the prince, but he doesn't necessarily run to our backyard all day long. Men are not as delicate as us women. Few of them put feelings first.
.Now that you have the prince’s heir, as long as you take good care of the heir, that is the most important thing.”
Wanyue's words were very clear. After listening to her words, Siyan couldn't help but wake up from a dream.
"Thank you sister-in-law Wu for saying this to me. I feel much better and I already understand what is most important in the future."
Nian Siyan replied with a serious face, Wanyue was standing aside, her eyes were finally somewhat satisfied.
After comforting Si Yan, Wanyue remembered that she had important things to do in the palace today, and quickly told Si Yan the purpose of coming to the palace today.
"Fifth sister-in-law, you mean that Prince Lian has a close relationship with Longkodo? But how did I hear that the prince just handed over the position of palace guard to Longkodo a few days ago? If this is true, wouldn't he be unkind?
A righteous generation."
Siyan was really shocked, but Wanyue was much calmer about this matter.
"That's why I came here to tell you this, and I hope you can tell it to the prince."
"Don't worry, Fifth Sister, I will convey it to you." Siyan agreed calmly without thinking too much.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Concubine Yi's birthday.
The emperor glanced around and then signaled Liang Jiugong to start the banquet. Then the emperor said a few words and raised his glass to drink with Concubine Yi. This move made Concubine De dissatisfied.
For a time, everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine De, and Kangxi was no exception. According to Kangxi's understanding of Concubine De, she must have treated her gentle words as his interpreter at this moment. As Kangxi thought, the next moment
As expected, Concubine De pretended to be gentle as before.
But now Kangxi didn't accept her trick anymore. Concubine De was very unhappy after being rejected by Kangxi. At this moment, she wanted to trample Concubine Yi under her feet so that she would never be able to stand up again.
But Concubine De knew in her heart that the emperor now relied heavily on Concubine Yi's two sons and compared them to both of her sons. Although she was not very fond of Prince Lian, her fourteenth brother was extremely precious to her.
.
Concubine De was still thinking about how to teach Concubine De the next step, when she saw a hurried eunuch running into the Yikun Palace. Concubine De immediately frowned, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in Concubine Yi's gourd.
The next moment, I heard the eunuch kneeling on the ground in a panic, "Your Majesty, Madam, what's wrong, the guards on duty caught a maniac who was teasing the palace maid!"
When the emperor heard this, his face became very ugly. This kind of thing that undermines the majesty of the royal family should not be underestimated. We cannot let a madman damage the palace rules of the Qing Dynasty.
Before Concubine Yi and Concubine De could react, the emperor had already ordered the guards to bring the captured people for interrogation.
When Concubine De saw the madman's appearance, she couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Concubine Yi angrily, trying to see whether this was framed by Concubine Yi, but Concubine Yi's expression was very dull, and even her eyes were a little bit...
