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

Although Yinreng was the crown prince, the eldest prince had always been very arrogant.

He didn't expect his elder brother to ask this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The prince is not a person who is good at showing his emotions outwardly, and he will never talk about his good relationship with someone.

After all, when he was very young, Emperor Kangxi often warned him that as a crown prince, he should not show his emotions on his face and should not let others easily guess what he was thinking.

After a long time, the prince really no longer knows how to express his emotions.

Just like these days, although he was very afraid and worried about the change in the emperor's attitude towards him, he didn't know how to have a good talk with the emperor.

Explain to him that in his heart, Emperor Kangxi is still the majestic, wise and unquestionable emperor.

He felt uncomfortable because he had kept the idea in his mind for too long.

Therefore, sometimes he couldn't help but secretly ask other people about the Emperor's father.

Even though he wanted to know what the Emperor was thinking, he really cared about him.

Unexpectedly, this concern led to misunderstanding by Emperor Kangxi.

Yinreng couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

Why can't the Emperor trust him? He even trusts him less than his elder brother.

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

In contrast, when Yinreng heard his elder brother ask this, he felt a little touched. He felt that he should not question his elder brother's kindness, otherwise his elder brother would not have to deliberately call him to his house to tell him.

Yinreng blushed and stammered, "My eldest brother is naturally different from the other brothers. I still remember that when I was a child, my eldest brother would take me out to play."

"Yes, I still remember one year, you climbed up a tree in the Imperial Garden to get a kite, and the servants tried to stop you. I stood on the tree and let you step on my shoulders to climb up and pick up the kite."

"At that time, what I was thinking was that my younger brother wanted this kite. Since he liked it, I, as his elder brother, naturally had to help him. Otherwise, my younger brother would be sad. How could he remember that he would be punished by the Emperor?"

"Do you still remember these things? Anyway, I remember them very clearly."

"At that time, weren't we the only two brothers who could play together? Who else could there be?"

"Another time, I didn't learn the book taught by the Grand Tutor, so I ran to ask you after class. I could only ask you. When I was a child, the Grand Tutor and the Emperor didn't like me very much. All I thought at that time was that it was a good thing that I had a younger brother."

When Yinzhi got emotional, he told a series of stories, and then he concluded to Yinreng: "No matter how many years have passed, I still remember these things."

"Does the prince still remember?"

Yinreng curled his lips. He actually wanted to tell the truth that he really couldn't remember it very well.

But facing the burning gaze from Yinzhi, he was too embarrassed to say so, as it would make him seem heartless. He picked up the teacup and drank several sips of tea, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Yes, I remember."

A relieved smile appeared on Yinzhi's face.

He knew that as long as he brought up the childhood memories, the current conflict between the two of them would be covered up naturally.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Yinzhi patted the prince on the shoulder and said, "So, we are different after all."

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

However, although Yinzhi said that we brothers are different from others, he was not polite at all in his actions.

As soon as the prince left, the eldest prince ordered the people around him, "Go, quietly spread the news that the prince came to my house, be careful, especially to the emperor."

The man took the order and left. When he left, Yinreng's sedan chair had not even reached the door of the Prince's Mansion.

By the evening, everyone knew that the prince had visited the eldest prince's house.

In the imperial study, when Kangxi received the secret report, he slammed the table in anger:

"Evil creature, this evil creature! Instead of studying hard behind closed doors and learning something useful for governing the country, he deliberately did some unorthodox things to spy on me!"

"This is not worthy of a crown prince! How can this be the behavior that a crown prince should have?"

Sandezi stood aside, silent.

Now that the crown prince is gone, no matter what the reason is, the emperor will definitely suspect the former crown prince.

When the news reached the homes of several princes, it also sparked a discussion.

The first person to get the news was the eighth prince Yinsi, who had the best popularity.

When he received the news, he immediately crossed the wall to find the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

"Fourth Brother, do you know..."

The matter was urgent. Without waiting for Su Peisheng to report, Yinsi had already rushed into his study. After entering, he stopped and said, "Ah, Fourth Sister-in-law is here too. It was Eighth Brother who was reckless."

Yinsi was quite respectful to his fourth sister-in-law. He thought she was intelligent and decent. More importantly, she also arranged a marriage between him and Ruozhu.

Yinsi bowed and saluted, but stood still, obviously having something urgent to do.

Yixiu was about to say goodbye, but Yinzhen said, "Eighth brother is not an outsider, let's listen to what you have to say."

After hearing this, Yinsi felt that it was okay. After all, matters between brothers were family affairs, not state affairs.

He then told him everything he had heard.

"Can the prince be so sharp-eyed and sharp-eared?"

After hearing the story, Yinzhen blurted out a sentence, and then realized something was wrong. Although there was no outsider in the room, he subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid there is something else going on."

Yinzhen was famous for being cautious in everything he did.

But the news was really too unexpected. In other words, although the prince was not stupid, he was well-informed and his mind was so meticulous, which was beyond his ability.

Otherwise, he would not have failed to realize that he now needed to deliberately avoid suspicion.

Yinsi said, "I also found it strange, so when this matter came out, I immediately came to look for Fourth Brother."

Yinzhen and Yinsi talked for a while, and Yixiu never interrupted.

It was not until Yinzhen asked that Yixiu replied, "It seems that the eldest prince is very trusted by the emperor."

"Hey, Fourth Sister-in-law, you may not know." Speaking of this, Yinsi became excited again: "A few years ago, the Emperor's father handed over the palace guards to my eldest brother, especially the Emperor's personal guards. Although the Emperor's father does not have as deep a father-son relationship with my eldest brother as he does with the Crown Prince, he trusts his eldest son very much."

Yixiu nodded and said nothing more. With Yinsi present, she should just stop talking about such matters.

Yinzhen knew what Yixiu meant, and continued, "Is it possible to find out who my elder brother has been in close contact with recently?"

The eldest prince’s biological mother was Concubine Hui of the Yehenara clan, who was once the head of the “Four Great Concubines” and had also raised Yinsi for a short period of time earlier.

Therefore, Yinsi can still find out news about the eldest prince.

Yinsi thought about it and shook his head. Since Mingzhu's downfall, he had never heard of any family still having a close relationship with the eldest prince.

To be honest, he has more good friends around Yinzhen than the eldest prince.

What Yinsi didn't know was that while he was talking with Yinzhen at his house, Laojiu also rushed to his house to find him.

But he was told that Yinsi had already gone out.

The people in the Eighth Prince's Mansion were afraid that the Ninth Prince had some urgent matter, so they specifically told him that at this moment, the Prince was probably still in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so they could go look for him.

However, when the Ninth Prince heard this, his face immediately darkened.

The news spread quietly among the princes.

A day later, the Third Prince and the Tenth Prince also knew about it.

But no matter how different the conclusions that several people came to secretly were, they all felt a little secretly happy in their hearts:

In the past, the Emperor doted on my second brother to the point where almost no one would question his doting. No matter how outstanding his sons were, they could not compare to the Crown Prince.

But now, maybe in the emperor's heart, their positions may have a chance to gradually rise.

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

By the time Yinzhen invited Yinsi to have lunch, Yixiu had already returned to Yongkang Pavilion under the pretext of going back to see Honghui.

Along the way, she felt that although the princes were all very talented and were brothers, they had to fight for the favor of their father.

Especially, at this time, many people probably didn't even dare to dream of the throne, and they just wanted to get the emperor's approval, which was really hard and pitiful.

"Fujin, you're back!"

When walking into Yongkang Pavilion, Yixiu just heard a crisp greeting. It turned out to be Nian Shilan.

Ever since the last time she sent Nian Shilan away because she returned to the Ulanala Mansion to deal with Fei Yanggu's affairs, things happened one after another in the mansion, and the day promised to Honghui to pick up Nian Shilan had to be postponed again and again.

Yixiu looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Long time no see. Our Miss Nian has grown taller again."

Nian Shilan said shyly, "Fujin is making fun of me. As she spoke, she secretly looked behind Yixiu."

"Don't look at me." After just two glances, Yixiu understood what Nian Shilan meant and said, "I just came back from the Fourth Prince. Your brother Honghui is not with me."

"What brother Honghui? Who treats him as a brother?" Nian Shilan's face turned even redder, and she simply turned around and stopped looking at Yixiu.

Yi Xiu looked at Nian Shilan with a smile, but changed the subject: "How do you feel about returning to the Nian Mansion? Is your brother good to you?"

If she continued teasing him, Nian Shilan would probably run away shyly before Honghui came back.

By then, what will she use to compensate her son's wife?

Yixiu had just asked casually. At that time, Nian Gengyao was just a young general in the capital, and the people in Nian's mansion were probably people of similar status to him.

Although these people are worth winning over, it is too early for Yinzhen to step forward now.

Unexpectedly, this time Nian Shilan tilted her head and thought seriously before saying, "It's good, but there's someone who always comes to my brother's house. Whenever he comes, my brother has to deal with him and can't accompany me. It's really annoying."

"Oh?" Yi Xiu laughed, "What kind of person is that? How dare he snatch my brother from Miss Nian? Could he be someone who is here to propose marriage to your brother? Maybe Miss Nian will have a sister-in-law soon."

Yixiu continued to tease Nian Shilan.

As a result, as soon as these words came out, Nian Shilan immediately shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, it's not that, it's an old man!"

"What did you call me?" Nian Shilan looked at Yixiu and thought for a long time before realizing that she hadn't noticed who the other person was. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, who cares who he is? People from the Yehenara family never came to visit us before, and now that they're here, my brother doesn't like it either."

Yehenara?

Isn’t the eldest prince’s maternal family also Yehenara?

But Yixiu did not ask any further questions.

Shilan is still young this year, and she doesn't know who this person is.

However, since she already had this clue, she just had to tell Yinzhen to investigate it slowly.

Soon, Honghui also came back.

Yixiu had lunch with her two children and then went to tell Yinzhen the news.

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

Speaking of which, in the early years of Kangxi, after successively solving the problem of Oboi and pacifying the Three Barbarians, Soetu and Mingzhu were the two most important ministers in the court.

They have background, qualifications, talent and ambition.

Later, Mingzhu and Soetu were successively convicted by Kangxi. Ultimately, it was because Kangxi himself was worried that his ministers would become more powerful than him.

This is the same as what happened later when Yinzhen wanted to get rid of Nian Gengyao and Longkodo.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. When Yixiu thought of this, she actually felt that the position of queen that she cared so much about in her previous life was not that important anymore.

On the other hand, Yinzhen, who received the news, quickly understood that what seemed to be a fight between the eldest prince and the crown prince was actually a result of their maternal families, the Soetu family and the Mingzhu family, who were unwilling to remain in obscurity.

While asking people to find out who the person was who was in Gengyao's house last year, Yinzhen called Xinghui to his house.

After Yinzhen told Xinghui the general situation, Xinghui was very disdainful: "These families have obviously been abandoned by the emperor, but Jiang Ran still can't keep quiet."

This is exactly the attitude that Yinzhen wants.

Last night, he locked himself in the room and thought all night. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are no more outstanding young people behind the eldest prince and the crown prince.

On the other hand, although I don’t have many good friends here, the only two people who can be considered my own are Xinghui and Li Rongbao.

But both of them are from prominent families, and they are still young and talented. In fact, they are much better than those who only talk about the glory of their ancestors.

However, Yinzhen also knew that Li Rongbao had no interest in the court, so unless it was absolutely necessary, he would try his best not to let Li Rongbao be involved in such matters.

Therefore, he only called Xinghui today.

Yinzhen said, "Now that the Crown Prince has lost Suo'etu, he has lost the backbone to make decisions. If the eldest prince continues to pursue, I am afraid that the Crown Prince will continue to make mistakes without us doing anything."

"We are still keeping a low profile now, so we naturally cannot take the lead, but if..."
