The Fourth Master's Dog

It was extremely lively in Kangxi's Palace of Tranquil Longevity at this time. The Ninth Prince was still crying and complaining about the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and Concubine Yi was also there, subtly fanning the flames.

Kangxi's face was not looking good either. During this period, due to the death of Queen Tong, Kangxi himself was in a state of impatience and irritability.

No one knew how many times the servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation had been replaced.

Now hearing the news that Fourth Prince Yinzhen cut off Ninth Prince's braids, it was like pouring a bucket of water into a hot pot. All the temper that had been suppressed recently finally had an outlet.

Kangxi's face was gloomy and his eyes were unclear. He sat there, listening to Concubine Yi's sobbing complaint and the devilish cry of the six-year-old Ninth Prince.

Kangxi pressed his temples irritably with his hands, his eyes unhappy. He knew that the fault in this matter was not with Concubine Yi and the others, and he tried to sound soothing.

"Okay, my beloved concubine, take Xiaojiu down first. I will definitely make the decision for Xiaojiu."

Kangxi looked at his adorable son, who was not yet very old. The braid on his head had long disappeared, and his hair was frizzy, making his originally chubby face look even fatter. He was crying with tears and snot, which was a bit horrible to look at.

The corners of Kangxi's eyes twitched a little, and he couldn't bear to look at her any longer. The Fourth Prince Yinzhen had really gone too far this time.

"I will definitely punish your fourth brother severely. Xiaojiu, follow your mother first..."

Before Kangxi finished speaking, the Ninth Prince stopped crying and asked with sobs.

"Father Emperor, you should also cut off Fourth Brother's braids to compensate for Xiaojiu's braids. Also, you should skin and trim the fur of the dog Xiaojiu and stew it."

When Concubine Yi heard her son say that the first part was nothing, just the childish talk of a child who was bullied, but the latter part, saying that he wanted to skin the dog and stew it, seemed a bit cruel, and she was afraid that Kangxi would feel uncomfortable hearing it.

Concubine Yi inadvertently looked up at Kangxi who was sitting at the top, and was greatly relieved when she saw that Kangxi's face did not get worse.

Concubine Yi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and raised a wronged smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, Xiaojiu is just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

"I just feel sorry for Xiaojiu. The Fourth Prince is already so old, but he still bullies Xiaojiu who hasn't even started studying yet... Xiaojiu and the others just cut his dog's hair, but he actually used a pair of scissors to cut his own brother's hair."

As Concubine Yi spoke, she began to cry again and sobbed.

"Could it be that in the heart of the Fourth Prince, Xiao Jiu is not as good as the dog he raised,...嘤嘤嘤...Your Majesty, I feel wronged."

Concubine Yi cried on the surface, but she was hating him deep down. The behavior of Fourth Prince Yinzhen was simply saying that her Ninth Prince was not as good as the dog he raised.

Isn't it just cutting a little bit of that dog's fur?

Even if he was killed, it wouldn't be worth mentioning in Concubine Yi's eyes.

She would never let it go easily because she cut her beloved son's hair for that dog.

If she had the chance, she would kill that little beast in person in front of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

Kangxi had a puzzled expression on his face and looked at Concubine Yi with complicated eyes. He didn't take Xiaojiu's words to heart.

A dog, no matter what, could never compare to his son.

How to say?

The Ninth Prince also has Aisin-Gioro blood in his veins.

What made Kangxi angry was that the fourth prince Yinzhen, already so old, still bullied his younger brothers.

Or because of a beast.

He paid most attention to the harmonious coexistence of his brothers in the harem and the friendship and respect between brothers.

The fourth prince Yinzhen acted like this, not taking his brothers into consideration at all. He hurt his own brother for a lowly beast.

Thinking of this, the air pressure around Kangxi became even colder, as if it was a cold wind blowing from Siberia.

Kangxi's eyes were cold, and he didn't give Concubine Yi any good look. He just looked at her coldly.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. Go down. I'll come to Yikun Palace to see Xiaojiu later."

Seeing Kangxi's unhappy expression, Concubine Yi didn't dare to say anything. She forced a smile and hurriedly walked out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with the Ninth Prince.

Concubine Yi looked at the place not far away and saw Liang Jiugong leading the Fourth Prince Yinzhen towards the Yangxin Palace. Concubine Yi had a smile on her face. Now the Emperor's temper was completely ignited. When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen went in, he would be skinned alive if he didn't die.

The Ninth Prince looked at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen who was walking not far away, and remembered the fierce look that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had given him in the garden just now. He looked timid and hid behind Concubine Yi involuntarily. He grabbed Concubine Yi's clothes tightly with his two fat paws, and his face was full of fear and tension.

When Concubine Yi saw the Ninth Prince being scared and wanting to hide, she felt so distressed that she caressed his head lovingly and smoothed out the silly hair on the back.

Concubine Yi had a kind and loving face, a gentle tone, and her eyes were full of heartache.

"Don't be afraid, my little Jiu. I'm here, and your Royal Mother is here too. Both I and Royal Father will make the decision for you."

"You don't have to be afraid, your fourth brother."

"Mother, I will definitely avenge Xiaojiu."

The Ninth Prince also felt that he now had a backer around him, unlike in the garden where he only had those useless servants. He became bolder, tried to straighten his chest, wiped the tears from his face, and stared fiercely at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen who was walking towards him.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen looked straight ahead and didn't even give the mother and son any glances. He just bowed slightly when passing by Concubine Yi, called her "Empress Yi", and then followed Liang Jiugong into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine Yi looked at the back of Fourth Prince Yinzhen, her eyes lowered with disgust. When she raised her eyes again, she returned to being the bright and generous Concubine Yi.

The Ninth Prince was mumbling to Concubine Yi, expressing his dissatisfaction and anger.

Just now, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen didn't even look at him. The Ninth Prince was small in stature, but he had a big temper.

The little mouth was yelling everywhere, asking his mother not to let him go.

Concubine Yi quickly covered the Ninth Prince's mouth, gave him a gentle and soothing look, and had someone carry the Ninth Prince out of the Yangxin Palace at a leisurely pace.

The Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity is full of his eyes. If Xiaojiu says something outrageous again and it reaches his ears, it will be bad. It would be better to avoid affecting Xiaojiu's image in his mind because of an insignificant person.

It's not worth it.

It was a long time after Concubine Yi walked away before someone let the Ninth Prince go. The Ninth Prince puffed up his face in displeasure, looking aggrieved and angry.

The Ninth Prince turned his back, not wanting Concubine Yi to see him.
