Chapter 123: The noble concubine secretly helps the fourth master
Many of Kangxi's princes, for their own interests, are the masters of masks.
Now the eldest brother and the prince Yinren are fighting to the death, and I don't know who will kill the deer.
The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother have not yet stepped onto the political stage, so on the surface, they still get along well, drinking tea and writing together from time to time.
Now it's an alliance, and who knows if it's an opponent in the future. If you really become an opponent, no one knows who will kill the deer...... Only by knowing the root can we win all battles. Therefore, when the princes are together, study each other's thoughts.
Eighth Elder Brother's biological mother is a good concubine, although her bloodline is noble, she treats people kindly and easily. Because of the mistakes made by her seniors, Bo got her. Although she gave birth to the intelligent and studious eighth elder brother since childhood, she has a low status in the harem.
Now that the eighth elder brother Yinxi has grown up and become the best among the princes, therefore, the good concubine is in a better situation and is deeply loved by Kangxi.
When the eighth elder brother was a child, he was raised by Concubine Hui, so the eighth elder brother's biological mother, Liang Concubine, often went to the Zhongcui Palace where Concubine Hui lived and gossiped with her.
However, the eighth elder brother did not publicly support the eldest elder brother, but just played more with the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother was also silent, because the Tong Jia family needed a capable prince, he took the initiative to pull him into the camp of the Tong Jia family, and his supporters were extremely powerful.
The fourth elder brother knows that the Tong Jia family is using him, but he has support, who would be stupid not to?
The Qing Dynasty is about to blow a bloody wind, and before that, it was a peaceful day, so calm that people felt confused......
Concubine Tong Jia is the lady with the highest position in the harem, she wants Manhua to be the fourth elder brother's concubine, and then use Prince An's power to help the fourth elder brother. Helping the fourth elder brother is equivalent to helping the Tong Jia family. Although she can't make a decision on the marriage of the fourth elder brother, she can create a little impetus for the marriage of the fourth elder brother.
Concubine Tong Jia knew that Manhua was going back to Prince An's Mansion on the first and fifteenth days of the month, and then came up with a good idea.
On this day, it was the first day of the new year, and Manhua walked out of Yikun Palace and went straight to the palace gate after saying goodbye to Concubine Yi according to the custom. In the past, there was a carriage arranged by the eunuch and the palace maid waiting for her.
However, Manhua didn't see the carriage that took her back to Prince An.
"It's strange, is it that the eunuch who manages the carriage in the palace has forgotten about this?" Manhua thought so.
When Manhua was feeling strange, the eunuch in charge of Chengqian Palace came over, and after saluting Manhua, he said to her: "Manhua Gege, all the carriages in the palace were sent out today, and the concubine said that the fourth master would take the carriage out of the palace in a while, can you take the fourth master's carriage out of the palace, and in the evening, the fourth master will finish his work and go to pick you up back to the palace?" ”
"Take the fourth master's carriage out?" Manhua thought to herself, Concubine Tong Jia, what does this mean? It can't be that you want to match yourself with the fourth elder brother, right? However, Concubine Tong Jia is the head of the harem, and she can't refuse this matter!
The fourth elder brother is in charge of the Zhengbai Banner, and now that the Zhengbai Flag is in the hands of the fourth elder brother, he often goes out of the palace to the Zhengbai Banner military camp. He also knew that Concubine Tong Jia secretly helped him get closer to Manhua, so when Concubine Tong Jia asked him to send Manhua out of the palace and take him back to the palace at night, he specially found a newer coat to put on.
Manhua was stunned when she saw that the fourth elder brother who came to pick her up was dressed brightly, so she had never seen the fourth elder brother dressed brightly.
Therefore, Manhua saw that the fourth elder brother was dressed a little differently, so he forgot to salute and say goodbye.
Qiu Feng accompanied Manhua out of the palace, and saw that she forgot to salute, so he stepped forward to remind her.
"The fourth master is auspicious!" Manhua hurriedly saluted the fourth elder brother.
"Manhua Gege, the concubine told the master, get in the carriage!" The fourth elder brother came to Manhua and said to her.
"Yes, Fourth Master!" Manhua bowed her head and agreed.
Manhua then stepped on the back of the eunuch and boarded the carriage of the fourth elder brother......
