The Fourth Master's Dog

Before Duofu could recover from those strange feelings.

Huh.

He was picked up by a pair of hands. Even though the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was still young, he looked as lucky as a small orange cat.

Still more than enough.

"Duoduo, this is the best thing I have heard recently."

"I'm happy today, so I'll give you an extra meal for dinner."

Duofu looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who had regained a bit of his former spirit.

Full of joy.

"Woof woof woof." Snacks are good. I didn't have any snacks this morning, so I'm not full.

Duofu felt that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen really liked this kind of flattery.

Duofu, his eyes were shining, he felt he had found a way out for the future.

From now on, no matter what mistakes you make, just flatter me in some fancy way to express your love.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen should forgive him and give him a big treat.

When Duofu thought of this, he felt that his future life would be more promising.

You never have to worry about making mistakes again.

If you don't make mistakes, you will lose the precious opportunity to express your love.

Anyway, looking at the current situation, you should like the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's appearance very much.

On this side, the master and his pet are living happily together.

Concubine Tong in the main hall of Chengqian Palace was lying sickly on the bed.

Yesterday, Kangxi coaxed Concubine Tong to sleep and left Chengqian Palace, leaving a promise to come to Chengqian Palace for dinner today.

Concubine Tong looked at the time and felt a little disappointed that Kangxi could not come to have lunch with her.

He took two bites and asked someone to take the food away.

She raised her head and stared at the time on the exquisite Western clock next to the dressing table, lost in thought.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes involuntarily. Mammy had just finished dealing with the matters in the outer room and walked into the inner hall.

When I saw this picture, I immediately felt heartbroken.

"Oh my, my queen, you can't drop golden beans now."

"You have to take good care of yourself during the confinement period, so that you will have a chance to give birth to a little prince in the future."

"You are still young, and His Majesty dotes on you. You will definitely be able to get pregnant in the future. The most important thing now is that you must take good care of your body."

"We can't let those lowly and lowly people in the harem succeed."

The nanny that Concubine Tong was leaning on had a sad face and a choked voice.

"Mammy, I feel so miserable."

"The child I thought about for so many years is gone just like that."

"Nothing."

After saying this, Concubine Tong burst into tears in the nanny's arms.

The nanny was busy comforting her mother, whom she had nursed since childhood.

She was unfortunate in her life. None of her children survived and her blood relatives also died early. This empress whom she raised since childhood occupied a 100% important position in her heart.

Seeing Concubine Tong crying, Nanny hated those ignorant people in the harem.

"Those vicious people in the harem will definitely pay painful consequences for what they have done."

"God will avenge them, too. My queen, please stop crying. Your crying hurts my heart."

Concubine Tong raised her face, her eyes were crazy and her expression was distorted, but this did not damage her image in the nanny's mind.

"Mammy, I want their children to die too, all of them."

"Baby, she'll be lonely if she's alone."

"We need to send the baby's brothers and sisters down to accompany her."

Since Emperor Kangxi did not give a name to the premature little princess, Concubine Tong kept calling her "baby" for several days.

I had planned to wait until the baby was one month old and ask Emperor Kangxi to personally give him a name with good meaning.

did not think of.

The little princess was unlucky and didn’t even live to see her full moon.

At this moment, Mammy was like a brainless villain, constantly expressing her agreement.

"Okay, okay, as long as your Majesty doesn't cry, I will do whatever you say."

"When the time comes, send a few of the ladies who are favored by the queen to accompany the princess."

"It also saves the princess from feeling lonely on the road."

"My queen, don't act on impulse now. Take care of your health first, and then we can plan slowly."

"Your Majesty, don't let anything dirty touch your hands."

"When the time comes, I will arrange it and have it done without anyone noticing."

Just as the master and servant were pouring their hearts out to each other, a young eunuch came in with an imperial decree.

Kangxi had anticipated that Concubine Tong was unwell, so he cancelled the ceremony of receiving the imperial edict.

The general meaning of the imperial edict is:

Concubine Tong was rewarded for her contribution in getting pregnant and having a child, so she was promoted to Imperial Concubine. The ceremony would be held after Concubine Tong recovered.

This imperial decree caused an uproar in the harem, and many people expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that a daughter was born but died young.

Why was Concubine Tong promoted to Imperial Concubine, a position equivalent to that of Vice Queen?

Just because she is Kangxi’s cousin?

Everyone in the harem was dissatisfied.

Kangxi was extremely stingy with his position. He had no favor and no children, and most of the time her position was that of a concubine.

If those who are favored want to climb up the social ladder, they must either have their fathers or brothers make contributions, or they must give birth to a prince.

Only if Kangxi is happy can there be a chance of promotion.

Most of the concubines in the harem who gave birth to princesses had their children born to concubines.

Concubine Tong gave birth to a princess who died young. What honor and merit did she have?

She also asked His Majesty to give her a higher rank.

No matter how indignant the people in the harem were, the imperial edict had already been issued and there was no possibility of revoking it.

There were also those concubines in the harem who had respect and went to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to complain early on.

But they were all blocked one by one.

The Empress Dowager did not meet them, which meant that the outcome of the matter had been decided and could not be changed.

The Empress Dowager was also dissatisfied with this matter.

She would not allow her good grandson to have the possibility of favoring only one of them, and all of them must be treated equally.

It must never happen again.

The incident of Consort Dong E.

If such a favored concubine appeared in the harem, the Empress Dowager would definitely be the first to take action and nip the danger in the bud.

Such a person will not be allowed to survive in the harem.

It is normal for a favorite concubine to die in the harem.

Before Kangxi issued the imperial edict, he asked the Empress Dowager for her opinion and explained the interests involved, just to comfort the Tonggiya clan.

In order to balance the interests of the relationship between the harem and the former dynasty, there is no such thing as a favored concubine.

In Chengqian Palace, the master and servant were hugging each other and crying while discussing how to harm others.

Upon hearing this imperial decree, the wet nurse became excited.

"Your Highness, you see, in His Majesty's heart, you are the most important person in the harem."

"The title of Imperial Noble Consort has always been the vice-empress since ancient times. This shows that in His Majesty's heart, you are still more preferred as the empress. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to make you the Imperial Noble Consort now that there is already a empress."

"When you recover and give birth to a prince, His Majesty will definitely make you the queen."

"Let you be the honorable queen of the Qing Dynasty."

The wet nurse had served Concubine Tong for the longest time and knew that Concubine Tong had two biggest wishes.

One is to give birth to a biological child of your own.

The other is to be the empress of the Qing Dynasty.

Sure enough, when Concubine Tong heard this, her originally sickly face seemed to have a little color.

I suddenly felt more energetic, as if I had taken opium and felt energized.

"Yes, I have to take good care of my health so that I can avenge the little princess and give birth to a prince."

No amount of consolation could be as great as the stimulation of Kangxi's promotion.

All of a sudden, Concubine Tong's spirit was stimulated.
