The Fourth Master's Dog

Chengqian Palace returned to silence. Kangxi looked at his cat-sized little daughter who was brought to him and looked away, unable to bear to look at her any longer.

Now, he doesn't want to waste his energy on those children who are certain not to survive to adulthood. He doesn't want to experience the pain of losing a child again.

Kangxi sat in his seat, waved his hand weakly, and ordered people to take good care of Concubine Tong and the little princess.

Liang Jiugong had already knelt on the ground. The black cat seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and it was impossible to find out how it got into the palace.

Just like the sudden appearance today that startled the imperial concubine's soft frame, causing her to have a difficult delivery.

Liang Jiugong knelt on the ground, sweating profusely. He had tried all the methods he could, but still could not find out the origin of the black cat.

I kept cursing in my heart, thinking that if our family found someone, he would definitely not have an easy time.

Liang Jiugong's head was getting lower and lower, and it felt like it was about to be buried in the ground.

Kangxi finally spoke and continued the investigation. No matter what, he had to get an explanation from his cousin.

Liang Jiugong, who was kneeling, instantly understood what Kangxi meant.

"I will follow your orders and investigate thoroughly. I will definitely give the Imperial Concubine a result."

Liang Jiugong bent over and walked out with trembling legs. He walked out of the palace slowly. Only when he was out of Kangxi's sight did he dare to slowly straighten his back.

His face was gloomy, and he was determined to find the person out and let him know how powerful our family is.

Kangxi stayed in Chengqian Palace for a while, looked at his cousin who was still in a coma, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

The glimmer of pity in Kangxi's eyes flashed by, and he turned back into the monarch who was clear about rewards and punishments and treated the harem equally.

As for Concubine Tong, Kangxi was indeed more partial to her, whether it was because of their friendship since childhood or because she was from his mother's family.

It is true that Kangxi had different feelings for Concubine Tong among the beauties in the harem.

If those unfavored concubines did not stay in the palace during their pregnancy, and went to visit the small garden, causing the dragon fetus to be damaged, Kangxi might not even look at them, and would be punished.

With the accusation of not taking good care of the dragon fetus, there is no hope in this life.

Not to mention, he is not so short of a son now. He already has seven or eight living sons.

Kangxi did not stay in Chengqian Palace for long and returned to Yangxin Palace to handle official business. When he left, he specifically instructed the Fourth Prince to return to Chengqian Palace after classes to stay for a few days to accompany his mother.

The fourth prince Yinzhen, who had just finished class in the study, heard the young eunuch report that his mother had given birth to a younger sister.

At first, the fourth prince Yinzhen didn't react. Wasn't my mother only seven months pregnant? Later, I heard from the eunuch that she was startled by a black cat and gave birth prematurely.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen hurried to Chengqian Palace, no longer the calm and composed look he had in the past when pretending to be a little adult.

On the way, I kept asking how my mother was doing and how my sister was doing.

I heard that my mother is in good health, but she needs to be taken good care of in the future.

My sister was as weak as a kitten when she was born, and she had to be raised with great care.

Hearing this, Fourth Prince Yinzhen felt a little relieved. He was afraid that his mother would also die after giving birth to the child like the Crown Prince's mother.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen knew very well that the Crown Prince was favored by his father, and that the favor his father showed to the Crown Prince was greater than that of all other children combined.

If it weren't for his mother, he was afraid that he would have seen the Emperor as infrequently as his seventh brother.

His mother has been pregnant recently and has been ignoring him, but he has feelings for her.

But he had no other choice but to be obedient, study hard in the study, and try hard to win the emperor's praise.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen liked the brothers and sisters in his mother's belly at first, but later he gradually disliked them.

My mother gradually stopped caring about him. The maids around her said that it was always like this and that everything would be fine after the little prince was born.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen was delighted from the bottom of his heart when his mother gave birth to a younger sister.

He had heard a lot of rumors in recent months.

Many people pretended to accidentally say in front of him that he was not his mother's biological son, but his mother's child.

His biological mother gave him to her for the sake of status. He was just an adopted son and did not come out of his mother's belly.

That’s why now that my mother is pregnant, she doesn’t want to see him and wants to throw him back to my mother De and doesn’t want him anymore.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen first heard the news, he didn't believe it at all. Later, he gradually felt the changes in the people around his mother towards him.

Although people around his mother would occasionally come to bring him food, he felt different, as if they didn't take it as seriously as before.

Especially since his mother refused to see him. He went to Chengqian Palace several times, but except for the first few times when he went in and said a few words from a distance, his mother told him not to come and to study hard in the study room.

This made the already worried Fourth Prince Yinzhen even more panicked. He felt as if he was not really his mother's biological son.

Although the servants in the harem did not bully him, they were not as attentive as before.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen first discovered this, he was extremely panicked, fearing that his mother would immediately abandon him. He was drowsy and lacked energy in class for several days.

After finally figuring it out, he was still a little worried, which made the Fourth Prince Yinzhen become thinner and slimmer.

Now that I heard that my mother had given birth to a younger sister, I knew that no matter what, she would definitely not send me away, even if she was not her biological daughter.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen's face became more and more determined. He knew that his mother needed a son and would continue to raise him.

He also discovered that De'en Niang did not like him, but only liked his sixth brother. He secretly went to Yonghe Palace to see De'en Niang, who wanted to play with his sixth brother.

At that time, De'niang's face was full of resistance and she did not have a good attitude towards him. Instead, she advised him to go back and not come to Yonghe Palace.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen originally thought that De'niang was afraid that he would be discovered and punished by her, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

Later he found out that De'enniang just didn't like him as a son, and she treated her sixth brother differently.

He once secretly heard De'enniang call his sixth brother her sweetheart. At that time, he hid behind a big tree and dared not move.

The nanny serving De'niang asked whether she should send some food to the Fourth Prince in the study to ease the relationship between mother and son.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen can still clearly remember those emotionless words.

"No, I will pretend that I have never given birth to him. He is not my son. I have only given birth to the Sixth Prince in my life."

The little bit of emotion he had in seeking comfort from his biological mother was shattered to the point that he no longer dared to have even the slightest bit of delusion.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen squatted under the big tree for a long time until he was found by Su Peisheng. He returned to the prince's residence with an expressionless face, hugged Duofu and whispered about his inner struggle that night.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen walked towards Chengqian Palace with more determined and relaxed steps. Tong E'niang still needed him, and she was still his mother, and she would not abandon him now.
