The Fourth Master's Dog

When Concubine De, Uya, came back from paying respects at Chengqian Palace, her face was not in good shape and the anger in her eyes could not be concealed.

"Mammy, how come my stomach hasn't moved in a few years?"

"I have been taking the medicine given by my family for many years, so how come..."

"And the debt collector Fourth Prince, I have been trying to please him for so long, but he still ignores me."

"You really think I love him so much. You're making me so angry."

"Imperial Concubine Tong... She is older than me, yet she has the nerve to complain about my age and says that I am wasting His Majesty's time. In the entire harem, Imperial Concubine Tong is the one who wastes His Majesty's time the most. She even has the nerve to say that I can't have children. At least I have four living children. What does she have?"

"She just relies on the fact that she is His Majesty's in-laws. She looks down on everyone in the palace and is arrogant and domineering. I really don't know what His Majesty likes about her."

"Mammy, I don't want to live like this. His Majesty has come to my place less often this month. There have been so many young and beautiful women entering the harem in recent years. If I can't get pregnant and give birth to a prince, how can I have a place in the harem?"

Concubine De Uya's face was unhappy. She spoke with gritted teeth and stared at Madam Uya, asking her to make a decision.

Aunt Wu Ya also felt uneasy in her heart, as there had been too many unhappy days in the past few years.

Concubine De, your temper is getting worse and worse. You used to pretend to be gentle in front of the palace maids and eunuchs, but now you don't care at all.

If the palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace get angry, they will suffer.

I wonder where Concubine De learned this from?

I like to watch the palace maids and eunuchs picking up broken porcelain pieces one by one with their bare hands. They won't stop until their hands are red.

Nanny Uya did not dare to persuade her too much, for fear that Concubine De would vent her anger on her.

Every time Depin Uya saw the palace maids and eunuchs, she could only swallow her anger and silently pick up the broken porcelain pieces, with her hands covered in blood, and she felt extremely satisfied.

Small pieces of gravel can easily get buried in the flesh and blood, causing unbearable pain, but people dare not make any sound, otherwise their hands will be crippled.

Nanny Uya stood behind Concubine De Uya, watching the palace maids picking up broken porcelain pieces below. The blood-red blood dripping on the moon-white broken porcelain pieces had an unusual beauty.

Aunt Wu Ya felt that she had become abnormal. Although she was strict with her subordinates in the past, she did not have the habit of torturing people.

The little palace maiden's lips were almost bitten off, but she didn't make any sound. Only blood and tears fell drop by drop.

Today, Concubine De Uya’s temper is even worse, and I don’t know if this palace maid’s hand can be saved.

This kind of punishment would not cause any screams of pain, so no one in the palace would notice it. If any palace maids were found injured, it was only because they were careless while working.

Their entire family, young and old, were in the hands of Concubine De Uya. Not to mention picking up ceramic pieces, even if their lives were taken, they would have no room to resist.

Depin Uya took a look at the hand, which had no good meat left, and spoke with satisfaction.

"Go down and get some good medicine from Qingmu. Don't say that I treated you badly and that you can't do even the smallest thing."

The young palace maid hurriedly left the palace, and then the corresponding eunuchs and palace maids cleaned up the mess.

Nanny Uya knew that Concubine De not only gave the Fourth Prince the cold shoulder, but also because Imperial Noble Concubine Tong had mocked her during the greeting ceremony, saying that at her age she was incapable of having children, so she shouldn't even think about taking over the Emperor's power.

The most important thing is that there are more and more young and beautiful concubines in the harem, and Concubine De Uya gradually becomes less favored.

When Concubine De Uya left Chengqian Palace, her whole face changed. She was indignant all the way, and on the way she met the Fourth Prince who was returning to Chengqian Palace.

The Fourth Prince just said hello and left without saying anything extra, just like he treated the other concubines in the harem.

He did not treat Concubine De Uya as his own mother at all.

Aunt Wuya suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and spoke with lowered eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince may be afraid of being punished by Imperial Concubine Tong, so he doesn't dare to get close to you near Chengqian Palace. This is also for your own good. Otherwise, if the Imperial Concubine finds out, she will definitely find another reason to punish you."

When she was in favor in the past, she could cry and complain to Kangxi, but now she doesn't dare to go to Kangxi and complain.

After hearing so much, Kangxi was no longer willing to come to Yonghe Palace, and Concubine De, Uya, knew this well.

I could only endure the bullying in vain and swallow my grievances.

Life has not been going well in the past few years. No matter how well Concubine De, Uya, takes care of herself, she is not as pretty as those young and beautiful concubines.

In particular, Imperial Noble Consort Tong, who was a few years older than her, looked younger and more beautiful than her.

In the past few years, the Imperial Noble Concubine has been able to get whatever she wants. Without the Queen in the harem, no one dares to look at her harshly. As long as she doesn't do anything too excessive, Kangxi won't say anything.

They were just a few concubines of low rank, and being able to make my cousin smile was also their role.

In recent years, the Imperial Noble Consort has been looking younger and younger. She especially likes to wear simple and elegant cheongsams, which make her look like someone other than a mortal. Instead, she seems like a cold and aloof fairy from heaven who cannot be desecrated.

She has black hair and fair skin, and is wearing a moon-white silk cheongsam with a lotus pattern. A five-blessing hairpin is simply inserted in her hairline. She looks cool and pure, like the white peony petals covered with dew in spring, making people want to get closer.

No wonder His Majesty also likes her and is willing to pamper the Imperial Noble Concubine even though she is arrogant and domineering.

Aunt Wu Ya has lived for decades, but she has rarely seen such a beauty. If she meets one, she will hold her in her heart.

"As for the child, maybe there is one. These few days are not the time for the queen's menstrual period. It seems that the menstrual period has not come yet. Why don't we go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Dr. Liu to come and check the queen's pulse, so that the queen can rest assured."

When Depin heard this, she thought about it and realized that she had indeed not had her menstrual leave yet. She had been so anxious during this period that she had forgotten about it.

Carefully touching her abdomen, Depin Uya said loudly.

"This time, I must have one. It must be a prince."

Nanny Wuya lowered her head, her eyes twitched, and she sighed secretly. It was really not easy to be a nanny in Yonghe Palace.

"I will go and ask Dr. Liu to come over and pray for your safety and ensure that your Majesty is healthy and that her wishes are fulfilled."

When Concubine De Uya heard this, the fierceness between her eyebrows disappeared as if ice and snow had melted away, and her tone became unusually gentle and kind.

"Go quickly, it's Dr. Liu, his medical skills are superb, I trust him."

Not long after, the old man with a white beard walked into Yonghe Palace tremblingly. He carefully diagnosed the patient more than three times before he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lady, this is indeed a pregnancy pulse, but the period is too young, less than a month, so it is indeed a little difficult to judge."

After Doctor Liu said what Concubine De Uya wanted to hear, Concubine De shut her up and said that she wanted to tell Kangxi in person on Halloween after some time so as to give Kangxi a surprise.

The shrewd old doctor Liu naturally agreed without hesitation and would not tell anyone about it. He carried his thick purse and walked out of Yonghe Palace tremblingly as usual, without any difference.

Without arousing the suspicion of Imperial Noble Consort Tong, who had been keeping an eye on the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De had a hard time and often called the imperial physician, saying that she was not feeling well.

Imperial Concubine Tong is now too lazy to ask about such trivial matters.
