No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 299 1 Cold Water

Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment before he read the contents of the memorial.

He shook his head and said, "Old Four, Old Four, you need to practice this character!"

He was very strict with his sons, and learning calligraphy was a compulsory course for all princes from a young age.

You may not learn other things well, but your calligraphy must have your own style.

"Yes..." The Fourth Master lowered his head in shame.

He has been strong-willed since he was young, and his father has never said a word to him.

Whether it's concern or criticism, if he is told one word, it could be life-threatening.

But today, when the flying words were teased by the emperor, I felt a different feeling.

It was a father's concern and teasing for his son, and it was not unbearable.

The Fourth Master was a little dazed and began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong before.

Emperor Kangxi looked at him with great interest, thinking that the fourth son was very mature for his age and had never shown such a side of him before.

He stopped mentioning the words and became more concerned about the content: "Last time, Niuhulu gave birth to triplets, and this time it's quadruplets. Are the children okay?"

There's no need to ask this question. Seeing that the fourth brother was so happy that he forgot his own last name, it must be good.

Sure enough, the Fourth Master nodded quickly and said, "Okay, all right! All four of them are fine!"

Hey, emphasis on "four".

Shouting loudly and with full energy.

Emperor Kangxi even felt a little echo in his ears, but the quadruplets being reincarnated into the Aisin Gioro family was also a great joy, so he became very excited.

"Okay! There's a reward!"

He thought carefully about what reward to give, and when he thought about it, he realized that he had given rewards to Nianhulu countless times.

But no matter how valuable these jewelry and antiques are, they cannot compare to the weight of the quadruplets.

Not to mention the triplets, Sweet Potato, and the female doctor ahead.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Give Niuhulu the title of Chun."

Only with a childlike heart can one see the suffering of the people and truly do good things.

The Niuhulu clan deserves the word "pure".

The Fourth Master knelt down immediately and thanked for the reward happily.

He chatted with his father like a young boy, and then took the reward and left.

He turned and went to Yonghe Palace. After all, he had to report to the empress about the birth of the child.

However, before she reached Yonghe Palace, Concubine De received the news that Emperor Kangxi had given Lin Mingyan a title.

She grabbed Grandma Gao's hand in shock and said, "This... this is the first time for a prince's wife to have experienced this!"

It is true that Niohuru was fond of her, but the title she received for giving birth to her children twice was too much of a publicity stunt.

If someone with ulterior motives fan the flames, there will be no peace in the fourth brother's backyard.

After all, no matter how good Niuhulu was, she was still a concubine.

It would not be a good thing if the concubine who has been given a title really started to compete with the concubine who was not favored.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I think Nianhulu is a sensible woman and won't argue about these things..." Nanny Gao prided herself on her ability to judge people, and hurriedly advised her.

Concubine De shook her head and said, "Once one reaches this position, whether one is knowledgeable or not is secondary."

"Niuhulu is now favored by His Majesty and the Fourth Prince, and her leverage far exceeds that of Nara."

"If I continue to side with her, the Nara family might become desperate and do something desperate."

She has been in the palace for so many years, and may not have learned much else, but she can clearly see the Emperor's ability to balance.

Those who are favored in the palace do not have high positions, and those who have high positions are not favored.

If one has a high position and is favored, his life will not be long.

For example, the three queens of His Majesty were all favored and had status, but now they are just a handful of dust.

However, the four of them, who were originally of low status, raised their sons and lived well.

It’s better to be careful in the Fourth Master’s mansion.

With this in mind, when the Fourth Master came to tell her the good news of quadruplets, Concubine De poured cold water on him with a lack of interest.

She also asked Grandma Gao to prepare many rewards: "Fourth Brother, Nara has worked hard to manage the family. She has made great contributions to the fact that you have so many children in your backyard."

"I heard she's not feeling well. Take these back with you and give her some good nourishment."

Fourth Master: ??? Is the Queen seriously ill?

Isn’t it the concubine’s fault that there have been no children in the backyard for so many years?

Now she has a child, and that's all thanks to Cha Cha. If Fu Jin hadn't been unable to do it, she would have become an abortion fanatic long ago.

He even rewarded her without giving her a white silk, which showed that he had a good temper!

"This..." The Fourth Master wanted to explain.

De Fei interrupted him: "By the way, I heard that our legitimate son Hongyu is now well. Please bring him into the palace for me to see later. I miss him so much."

In fact, she missed Honghui and the others more, but if she suggested bringing them in at this time, it would be no different from harming them.

He had no choice but to change his words and said that he wanted to see Hongyan.

They are all the fourth child’s children, so they should be about the same, right?

The joy in the Fourth Master's eyes disappeared completely, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, causing him to swell and ache.

He was too naive and really thought that he could be a loving mother and a filial son with Concubine De.

During this period, not only was there harmony between me and Cha Cha and her husband, but there was also an illusion of harmony with the Empress.

But only at this time did I realize that all this was an illusion.

Oh, are you praising Fu Jin?

The Fourth Master entered the palace excitedly, but returned with a disappointed heart, hiding in his study and feeling angry.

Of course he knew what Concubine De meant. It was about balance. Who couldn't understand that?

But all this was based on dampening his excitement.

How could she not know who he liked?

How can you not know what he is proud of now?

She knew and understood everything, but she stood from the perspective of a bystander, calmly doing what she thought was good for him.

Doesn’t the Emperor understand this?

I definitely understand it better than her.

But he could understand his impulse and love, and gave a concubine a title that had never been given to her before.

Maybe the emperor will feel regretful when he wakes up tomorrow morning, but today, as a father, he truly empathizes with his son.

But his biological mother didn't. She thought so calmly, as if the quadruplets had nothing to do with her.

"If it was Fourteen's child, would you still do this?" The Fourth Master asked softly, looking at the moon outside the window.

He knew the answer without having to ask the Empress.

The Fourth Master clenched the jade pendant in his hand, which was given by the Empress on his birthday last year.

When he was a child, his sixth brother had one on his body, and he envied him for a long time.

He received it after more than ten years, and that night he shed two tears under Cha Cha's ridicule.

Now think about it, it's really ridiculous~

He casually placed the jade pendant, which he always carried with him, in the drawer of his study and slammed it shut.

The Fourth Master rubbed his face, forced a smile, and walked out: "Let's go to Linfengju."
