The Fourth Master's Dog

Fourth Prince Yinzhen gently stroked Duofu, who had stopped screaming. He looked at his eyes that were moving up and down but didn't want to close, and a faint whimpering sound came from his mouth.

His voice was full of grievance, and there was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. He would not let any of the dogs he raised go if they were harmed.

He slowly reached out his hand and slowly closed Duofu's eyes as if to soothe him. His hand gently stroked the uninjured parts, like coaxing a child to sleep.

Not long after, the sound of even breathing could be heard in his arms, and Fourth Prince Yinzhen's face turned completely cold.

His eyes were full of madness. He must have inherited that filthy nature from Concubine De, Uya, who would do anything to achieve his goals.

However, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen was not a bad person. In this harem, there was no such thing as blank paper. If there was, it would have been torn into pieces long ago.

With his head lowered, he looked at Duofu, who had fallen asleep in his arms and was still trembling. There was always a rage in his heart that would not dissipate and was always suppressed.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen thought of his mother's instructions before her death, and looked at his current condition. He hasn't even fallen out of favor yet, but his ninth and tenth brothers dare to step on him.

The fourth prince Yinzhen sneered silently twice. The palace really needs favor, no matter how it is obtained.

Looking at Duofu sleeping restlessly in his arms, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen felt a tight grip on his heart, especially now that he could not afford to lose the favor of his royal father.

He must seize the opportunity while the Emperor still has sympathy for him.

Otherwise, as time goes by and the emperor has more and more sons and daughters, he, a son without a mother, will have even less status in the emperor's heart.

The fourth prince Yinzhen took a piece of clothing with his own scent, carefully rolled up Duofu, and slowly placed him on the soft bed.

When he walked out the door, he asked the eunuchs to keep a good look after Duofu and come to him if there was any movement.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen went to the mourning hall in Chengqian Palace, even though Queen Tong's coffin had already been buried.

The burial place was not carried out in accordance with Queen Tong's last wishes.

Kangxi did not allow the empress he crowned to be buried anywhere other than his imperial mausoleum.

Especially his little cousin, whom he loved very much, is dead now. He feels like she has become a thorn in his heart.

He didn't realize how good his cousin was when she was alive, but when her younger cousin died, he immediately realized that he still cared about his cousin very much.

Except that she was not allowed to give birth to a prince with her blood.

The fourth prince Yinzhen also requested Kangxi according to the Empress Dowager's last wishes, but was rejected and it had no effect.

Kangxi suppressed it with one word.

This is the ancestral law.

There is no queen, and she is not buried in the emperor's mausoleum.

The fourth prince Yinzhen knelt in the Yangxin Palace for an entire afternoon, but to no avail. Finally, he fainted from kneeling and was carried back to the Chengqian Palace by Emperor Kangxi, who only told him to stay there and mourn for his mother.

Don't let him worry about anything else.

The fourth prince Yinzhen knew that anything would happen once the emperor made up his mind.

Generally not easy to change.

Especially now, he wants to change the name to Yudie, and change it to the name of the Empress Dowager.

The Emperor would definitely not allow it because of his doting on the second brother, the Crown Prince.

Everyone in the entire court and harem knew about it.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen felt that only if he took a risky move, coupled with the arrangements of the Empress Dowager's previous dynasty and the harem, and the fact that the Emperor's father still had affection for him, would there be a slight possibility.

Otherwise, as a prince who is not much favored, it is impossible for him to change the emperor's mind.

The fourth prince Yinzhen's eyes became more and more determined. He walked to the mourning hall where the wet nurse was guarding inside.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen stepped forward and respectfully called out "Mammy". When the wet nurse saw the Fourth Prince Yinzhen coming back, she showed no expression and continued to kneel there, burning paper money for Queen Tong.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen did not mind her attitude. He still needed the help of the people in Chengqian Palace, especially the wet nurse left by the Empress Dowager.

Not only was she a powerful helper in his harem, but she was also the best person he had contact with his uncle Tong's family from the previous dynasty.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen also knelt silently on the other side, looking at the words on the spirit tablet, with no change in emotion in his eyes.

"Mammy, please do it now, otherwise after a while, the Emperor will forget about me."

"If you want to change it by then, it will be harder than climbing to the sky."

"Today, my ninth and tenth brothers injured my Duofu, so I will use this as a breakthrough point."

The wet nurse raised her head and looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen with complicated eyes. She was very proud of the child that the Empress had raised.

To be honest, the feelings are quite complicated. It is impossible to say that I don't care. After all, I have been raised in Chengqian Palace for more than ten years.

It is impossible to say that she cares about her very much. In this palace, Queen Tong is the only one she cares about the most.

Her mood changes with the Empress's. If the Empress likes her, she will like her. If the Empress doesn't like her, she won't like her either.

When it came to raising the Fourth Prince, my own queen had been pregnant with one from the beginning, but since she couldn't get pregnant anyway, she decided to adopt one to consolidate her position.

Although there is no lack of love, raising a child in the palace is always less lonely in the deep backyard.

Even though His Majesty dotes on his empress, it is impossible for him to come every day. Coming a dozen times a month is already a lot.

Moreover, there are more than one favored concubines in the harem. My queen is just one of the millions of favored concubines of His Majesty.

But just with the title of cousin, the meaning is a little different.

His Majesty was only willing to show some favor to his own queen, nothing else.

All her life, the queen has dreamed of the emperor's love, but where can she find such a thing in the harem?

Later, I kept thinking that since I couldn't get the Emperor's love, I should give him a child so that he could accompany me.

How could I have thought of that?

My poor queen.

Not even a biological child.

You can only adopt one.

Uya appeared at that time and happened to be pregnant.

The Queen happened to need a child, so she brought the Fourth Prince back home.

My mother has raised a child for more than ten years, so I absolutely cannot...

The wet nurse nodded. She also hoped very much that the Fourth Prince could be included in her mother's imperial edict, so that her mother would not be cut off from having children.

"My young master, what are you going to do? How can I help you?"

The wet nurse felt that this kind of thing should be dealt with sooner rather than later, otherwise after the Empress passed away, the Emperor would not know how much friendship they still had.

We must get this done quickly to fulfill the Empress' last wish.

Thinking back to the last time, when the Emperor did not allow the burial and she, as a servant, had no qualifications, the wet nurse was filled with resentment.

His own queen had passed away, and the Emperor was unwilling to fulfill the poor queen's wishes.
