Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Chapter 289 Holding a grudge

Yinzhen walked up to Concubine De.

"Mother, Old Fourteen, what are you talking about? You look so happy."

Defei now has more sincerity and respect for Yinzhen. Although she still likes Yinzhi more, she is not as partial to him as before.

Yinzhen stood up and said to Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, my mother and I were talking about a delicious ham stewed with pork elbow that I had in the capital."

"My mother asked me to go to the palace and bring her a copy someday."

"Fourth brother will come and eat with us then."

The indifference between Yinzhen's brows disappeared, replaced by a deep smile.

"it is good."

Yinzhen held up a glass of wine and toasted Yinzhen. As they drank, he lowered his voice and said, "Fourth brother, I will share some of your burdens from now on."

Yinzhen shuddered violently, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, good brother!"

-----------------------

There was a warm and lively atmosphere in Defei's palace with brothers friendly and respectful to each other, but Crown Prince Yinreng was very sad.

In previous years' dinner parties, he would always stay with Kangxi and stay up until the very last moment.

But now, staying in the palace for a moment longer made him feel tormented.

This year, Kangxi did not suggest that Yinreng should stay with him to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, for the first time in a rare period of time, Yinreng was the first to leave the palace while staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.

The prince's residence.

Yinreng was drunk all day long, as if he wanted to drown himself in the wine jar.

That day, when the thousand taels of silver that the emperor rewarded him with were delivered to his house, the white color was so dazzling in the sunlight.

He couldn't help but think with some irony, why did the emperor reward him with silver instead of gold?

Probably because the person is dead, white should be used. How can yellow show that this reward is exchanged for the dead person's life?

The more Yinreng thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt.

At this moment, a maid happened to come in from outside, bringing the wind from the yard in with her.

Yinreng frowned: "This person doesn't know how to serve others. Send him away to be taught a lesson!"

The little maid felt wronged because the other sisters had gone out to play and she was pushed to bring hot tea to Yinreng.

But since Yinreng had given the order, it was absolutely impossible to change it.

She originally thought it was a good opportunity to show off, but who would have thought that she would be dragged away and severely punished.

-------------

Yinreng was feeling depressed, and he was afraid that those people outside were just laughing at him.

Yinreng stood up shakily, walked to the window, and looked at the snow outside. He remembered that when he was a child, Kangxi took him to build a snowman, which was his happiest time.

Now, things have changed. Yinreng sighed deeply, turned back to the table and continued drinking. He wanted to numb himself with wine and forget all his troubles.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. Yinreng asked impatiently, "Who is it?" "Your Highness, it's me," a gentle female voice answered.

The visitor was his concubine Tong Jia, also his most beloved woman.

He opened the door and saw her holding a cloak in her hands. She looked at him with concern and said, ""

"It's cold outside. I'm afraid Your Highness will catch a cold, so I specially brought you a cloak."

Yinreng felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but hug her tightly. In her warm embrace, Yinreng finally found a trace of comfort.

Tong Jia continued, "I have already found out what the prince entrusted to me a few days ago."

Tong Jia told Crown Prince Yinreng that the eldest prince had discovered Aljishan's contact with local officials and then revealed it to the emperor.

Yinreng frowned, puzzled: "The two of them did not do anything big, even I was unaware of it, why did the eldest prince notice it?"

In Yinreng's opinion, he had a good understanding of Aljishan's situation.

Since the death of Soetu, Aljishan has lost all his power and influence and can no longer stir up any waves.

After he was driven out of the capital, what he did in the local area was just to borrow the influence of his ancestors to regain a little dignity and face and seek a little comfort.

In Yinreng's mind, joining forces with local officials to oppress the people was not a big deal.

And those people are just a group of insignificant ants who can be trampled and bullied at will.

So, when someone came to tell him that Kangxi was dissatisfied with this matter, Yinreng did not realize the seriousness of the problem, but instead thought it was just a small trouble.

"Maybe the eldest prince has been sending people to monitor us." Tong Jia analyzed.

Yinreng also realized that there must be something fishy going on.

Now that he knew that the eldest prince was involved in this matter, he felt more and more that Kangxi was favoring the eldest prince and was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Yinreng couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment in his heart.

He really couldn't understand, since Gelfin and Aljishan had been expelled from the capital and could no longer provide him with any help, why would the eldest prince go to such great lengths to put them to death?

They are not only cousins, but also playmates who grew up with the eldest prince.

Thinking of the eldest prince's hypocritical behavior a few days ago, Yinreng felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him, and his whole body went cold.

It turned out that all this was fake, even the emperor father who had always loved her had changed.

Yinreng pondered in his heart and couldn't help but wonder whether the emperor's attitude towards him had changed.

Is it because he has been an adult for a long time and has made some achievements, which makes the emperor feel difficult to control him, so he deliberately suppresses him?

This thought lingered in Yinreng's mind, making him confused and uneasy. He began to reflect on his own behavior, trying to find the possible reasons that led to this situation.

-------------------

Not only Yinreng but also Yinzhen got the news.

Compared to Yinreng, he saw things more clearly.

This is not a question of relationship between father and son or brothers. It is obvious that the eldest prince has challenged the position of crown prince.

He even felt that with the Crown Prince's current mind, abilities, and available people, he was no match for the eldest prince.

The eldest prince is not outstanding, but the crown prince is too weak. Not only does he have no real power, but he also often does stupid things. The people around him are all good-for-nothings who only hold him back like Aljishan.

small theater:

Yixiu: You see, this is called relying on peers to set off. This is the case in the previous dynasty and the harem.

Ruyi: A-choo, who is talking about me?
