Chapter 336: Kangxi's phoenix eyes glared, double standards were clearly revealed
De Fei was so anxious that sweat appeared on her forehead. She tried to explain herself hastily. She also frantically hinted at the Fourth Prince with her eyes, asking him to stop standing there and help quickly.
Can……
How could his brother be willing to stab him in the back when his own brother bravely confronted the Empress for him?
The Fourth Prince lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Yinzhen was a talkative person, and he looked at Defei suspiciously: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true!" Concubine De nodded quickly and said firmly: "That's my own child, born after ten months of pregnancy. How can I not love him?"
Yinxuan said, "Yinxuan thinks so, but..."
"As the saying goes, where there is money, there is love. Ever since Yinzhen came into the family, De'er Niang has said a lot of caring words, but she didn't prepare anything for the fourteenth brother, and I even got a few snacks!"
This common saying directly made Concubine De unable to handle it.
After a long pause, she said, "Eighteenth Prince, you misunderstood. Your Fourteenth Brother has been away from home for a long time, and he must miss the flavors of Beijing, so I prepared more things. These are for him, they are his thoughts and his nostalgia, which are precious. But it's different for Fourth Prince. He has the emperor's order, so he should travel light and not bring too many miscellaneous items."
"But the poor family has a rich road, and I am also prepared."
As she said this, she went into the inner room and directly took out three thousand taels of silver notes: "Speaking of which, these are all the gifts from the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince on weekdays. I don't have much to spend, so I saved them all. Now I will give most of it to the Fourth Prince as travel expenses, for emergency use."
[Tsk tsk tsk, she is indeed a perennial master of palace fighting, the all-time champion of palace fighting during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in history! Look at her mind and reaction speed, she even makes it seem like she takes favoritism for granted.]
[You've even asked for most of your savings to be given to Fourth Brother. I'm afraid Fourth Brother will not only refuse to accept it, but will also give you more as a gift, right?]
Humph.
Yinzhen snorted coldly, not afraid to assume the most malicious intentions towards Concubine De.
He stood firmly on the side of his fourth brother.
Fearing that Fourth Brother was foolishly filial and thin-skinned, he even helped him take the banknotes first: "Wow, a full three thousand taels? It seems that De E Niang really loves Fourth Brother, and it is Little Eighteen who misunderstood you by judging others with a mean heart."
"Brother, please keep this banknote. Can you also keep Xiao Shiba's apology?"
Concubine De: ...
Can she say no?
No!
She entered the palace when she was a teenager and accompanied the emperor in his presence for more than thirty years. She spent most of her life studying the emperor's preferences and naturally knew the importance of the Eighteenth Prince in the emperor's heart.
I will never bring a quarrel to the emperor because of a child's careless words.
If you make a big deal out of a small matter, you will end up suffering the consequences.
You can only cut the meat obediently to satisfy the little guy, and then send him away enthusiastically.
It was so soft and gentle that Yinxuan was surprised.
What was even more surprising was that his fourth brother did not return the banknotes with a cold face, and instead said that his younger brother was still young and might not be very polite, and asked his mother to forgive him.
Instead, he smiled, bowed, and said thank you, mother.
After a few more pleasantries, he took him out of Yonghe Palace with many things.
This was so abnormal that Yinzhen was uneasy. He seriously suspected that his behavior of interfering in other people's affairs had angered his fourth brother. What if the older brother who followed the rules did not like playing with the younger brother who did not follow the rules and drew a clear line between them?
Seeing the little guy sweating from his forehead due to anxiety, the Fourth Prince could no longer bear it.
He quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully: "Eighteenth brother is so protective of fourth brother, fourth brother is so happy that he can't wait to be angry with you? Fourth brother is just an accident, the queen..."
"Oh! What's so surprising about this? If I were to ask you, Fourth Brother, you were just too well-behaved and obedient in the past. You didn't understand the ultimate truth that only crying children get milk."
"Here, three thousand taels of silver are proof that the Defei still cares about you to some extent. If you also want this mother and don't want to be cold to her, then learn to be more vocal! Say what you want, and say what you are dissatisfied with. Others can't read your mind. If you don't say it, who knows what you are thinking?"
For a moment, the Fourth Prince's heart almost stopped beating.
I thought Yinxuan had discovered something!
As a result, the child kept talking about teaching him, who was already a father, how to be a child.
The Fourth Prince was amused and deeply moved: "Okay, listen to our Little Eighteen."
"Just listen to me! I'm not exaggerating. If you don't believe me, just look around the palace. Doesn't Khan Ama always get so angry at me that his face turns red and his neck thick, but he still loves me? My reputation of being favored has even spread to all the Mongolian tribes!"
Yinxuan raised his head, his expression was as arrogant as it could be.
The Fourth Prince found it amusing and thought that you were just relying on the help of Fuxing, otherwise, for being so reckless, wouldn't your father-in-law have beaten you nine times in three days?
But when he saw the sincerity and concern in his big eyes, the Fourth Prince was speechless.
He would just nod heavily to show that he was willing to listen to his brother's instructions.
Who would have thought?
Just over a year ago, the princes were still trying every possible way to get more information about the future development of the Qing Dynasty from the little guy's mind, or to guide him to stop speaking ill of them.
The Fourth Prince even hated him at one point.
Because of the little guy's voice, he was transformed from an ordinary prince into the future Yongzheng, feared by Khan Ama and the prince. He was also borrowed by the old nine and ten to seek revenge, and was beaten black and blue.
This really screwed me.
But no matter how he resisted, the little guy kept approaching him sincerely, like a fire, melting the ice in his heart unconsciously.
The Fourth Prince now regards him as his closest younger brother and does not care about the comments or the little guy's status as a supporting star.
In order to prevent today's events from being spread and damaging his brother's reputation, he took the initiative to go to the Qianqing Palace and confess everything to Khan Ama.
Kangxi snorted coldly: "You're telling me this now? Damn you, the rumors are already all over the place. Don't worry, on the day of the incident, Xiao Shiba told me the whole story."
"Ah? He's not..."
"What? He promised Concubine De not to bother me with such a small matter, so he just said it casually when I was free. Besides, a gentleman should keep his promise. He is a child and can't keep his words. Otherwise, why is there a saying that children speak without restraint?"
Kangxi glared with his almond-shaped eyes, his double standards were clearly evident.
The Fourth Prince was speechless.
Kangxi simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you think you can handle it, I won't say much. I just hope you can do your job well and implement the policy of changing the natives to commoners as soon as possible."
"Of course, we have to focus on people's livelihood, and we can't slack off on living people either."
what?
For a moment, the Fourth Prince thought there was something wrong with his ears.
I didn't expect that just as I gave him a doubtful look, I was glared at again: "What? I asked you to work hard, to have more branches for the Aixinjuelu family, and to give birth to the fourth master who makes people love and hate him as soon as possible."
