The Fourth Master's Dog

Early the next morning, the sun had just risen and the sunlight shone on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, reflecting a golden glow.

The entire palace is magnificent and looks like a fairyland.

Liang Jiugong, holding a bright yellow imperial edict, led a group of people on the way to Chengqian Palace.

In the quiet and solemn Forbidden City, the team marched along the stone pavement of the palace, attracting many people's attention along the way.

Many palace maids and eunuchs looked at him inadvertently, wondering where Eunuch Liang was going with the Emperor's imperial edict so early in the morning.

When he saw Liang Jiugong walking towards the East Six Palaces, he thought that the Emperor only stayed in Chengqian Palace for a while yesterday, so he returned to the Yangxin Palace.

This imperial edict must be addressed to Consort Tong. At this stage, there is nothing major happening in the palace.

Could it be the Queen’s will?

The palace maids and eunuchs who came out to get breakfast looked at each other for a moment.

They hurried towards their respective masters' palaces, their pace quickening a lot.

Chengqian Palace is still quiet now. I asked the third-class palace maids and eunuchs who got up early to clean the palace to be busy outside.

Imperial Concubine Tong had not woken up yet. She had fallen into a drowsy sleep last night. Her body felt heavy and she didn't want to wake up at all.

The wet nurse heard the noise outside the palace in front of the city and ordered someone to go out and check.

Only then did I realize that it was His Majesty who asked Liang Jiugong to announce the imperial edict early in the morning.

The wet nurse overheard the conversation between His Majesty and the Empress yesterday.

Full of joy.

This imperial edict either conferred the title of Empress to Her Majesty, or ordered the Fourth Prince to change his imperial certificate.

It is a good thing for everyone in Chengqian Palace and for Imperial Concubine Tong.

Either way, it's worth being happy about.

Liang Jiugong said outside that His Majesty understands that the Empress is not feeling well and does not need to get out of bed to receive the imperial edict.

The wet nurse quickly ordered someone to call the fourth prince Yinzhen to the front hall to receive the imperial edict.

After a hurried meal, everyone in Chengqian Palace was ready. They knelt on the ground respectfully, listening to the imperial edict read by Liang Jiugong from above.

Liang Jiugong's voice resounded throughout the Chengqian Palace as he solemnly read out the imperial edict.

"The Emperor decrees, by order of Heaven."

"I believe that the virtues of heaven and earth are in harmony, and the merits of transformation and nurturing are great. The internal and external order is complete, and the purpose of peace and harmony is great.

The ceremonies are here to be prepared, and education is here to flourish.

My dear Tong, you are the daughter of your uncle Tong Guowei, the Minister of the Imperial Guard.

He was born in Gao Hong's family. He was diligent and frugal in his family. He was sincere and filial in his family.

The virtue of kindness is shown by Zhisi and Juzi. The virtue of respect is shown by Zhanghui and Ti.

You deserve to be honored with the great rite. I hereby obey your majesty's order and appoint you as the empress.

You should just follow the will of God. Take good care of yourself. Influence others and show your kindness to your descendants. Honor the emperor and bring him prosperity and happiness forever. I admire you. "

Duofu the dog was also held respectfully by Xiaojizi and knelt on the ground.

Duofu was sleeping soundly in the room because the Fourth Prince Yinzhen did not come back all night.

I heard from the servants that they had been guarding the Fifteenth Prince and had not slept all night.

He had just changed his clothes in a hurry in order to receive the imperial edict.

Duofu raised his eyes and looked at the tall and slender figure of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was kneeling in front of him, with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

The fourth prince Yinzhen was born with fair skin, a face as white as jade, and black hair. Suddenly, two big dark circles appeared on his face, which were extremely obvious.

It made him look haggard.

Duofu couldn't help but sigh.

Where is this?

If he remembers correctly.

In his memory, Imperial Noble Consort Tong was only the queen for one day.

Queen Tong, Duofu thinks that there is a bit of irony in this.

Imperial Noble Consort Tong had wanted to become an empress all her life. Only before her death did Emperor Kangxi confer the title of empress on her as a congratulatory gesture.

Is this considered fulfilling the patient's last wish?

Yesterday he lay in the corner of Imperial Concubine Tong's inner palace, and the wet nurse saw that he did not disturb the Empress.

So I ignored him and let him stay there.

He heard clearly the conversation between Kangxi and Imperial Noble Consort Tong.

The Imperial Noble Consort Tong's wish before her death was to change the Fourth Prince's imperial edict.

Kangxi didn't even fulfill her wish now. There was too much water in his favor.

Duofu curled his lips in disdain.

Ugh. Ugh.

Big scumbag.

It turns out that there has never been a good emperor since ancient times.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen is not the emperor yet, but even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he may not be a good person.

Liang Jiugong recited a lot of things above, but you only understood one thing, that is, she was named queen.

I don’t know who wrote this imperial edict, but it was quite cultured. He didn’t understand most of it.

Duofu watched as the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, respectfully took the imperial edict with both hands and exchanged polite greetings with Liang Jiugong.

Duofu only saw Liang Jiugong smile politely, take a plate of purses handed over by the eunuch, and then leave with a group of people.

A palace maid came out to report that Imperial Noble Concubine Tong had just woken up and heard a commotion outside. She asked what had happened.

The fourth prince Yinzhen took the imperial edict first and strode towards the inner hall.

When Imperial Concubine Tong heard what Fourth Prince Yinzhen said, an unnatural blush appeared on her pale face and she forced a bitter smile.

She really didn't expect that her cousin the emperor was so heartless that he was unwilling to fulfill even her last wish.

When Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw the bitter smile on Imperial Noble Consort Tong's face, his heart tightened.

He also knew about the conversation between his mother and the emperor yesterday.

He really had not thought that his father, the emperor, would not fulfill his mother's wish even though she was so beloved.

He had sensitive ears since he was a child, and there was no noise in Chengqian Palace yesterday, so the Fourth Prince Yinzhen could easily hear the conversation between his mother and others in the Fifteenth Prince's room.

Originally, he thought early in the morning that it was the Emperor's decree to change his imperial certificate.

I still feel a little uneasy and excited.

How can I know?

The Emperor would rather make his mother the empress than change his name to Yudie.

Now that my mother has become the empress, it is even more impossible to change his imperial edict.

The Emperor would never allow anyone in the palace to shake the position of Crown Prince Yinreng.

The fourth prince Yinzhen lowered his head, hiding the resentment and sadness in his eyes.

"Mother, it doesn't matter. Even if I don't get the imperial certificate, I am still your son."

Imperial Concubine Tong had a look of disappointment in her eyes, but she thought that the day was not over yet.

Maybe the emperor's cousin is just still under consideration.

Although she also knew that after she was crowned as the queen, the difficulty of changing the imperial edict for the fourth prince Yinzhen would increase several times.

Now she didn't want to see the Fourth Prince Yinzhen again, and waved her hand with a tired face.

"Xiao Si, I heard that you stayed with Xiao Shiwu all night yesterday. You must be exhausted. Go back and have a rest first."

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.

"My mother is trying to figure out a solution for this matter."

The fourth prince Yinzhen passed away not long ago.

The wet nurse hurried into the bedroom with a letter in her arms.

"My lady, the Lord has sent a letter from the palace."

Imperial Concubine Tong tried hard to stand up on her own, but failed.
