The Fourth Master's Dog

Spring of the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi reign.

The winter in the Forbidden City slowly disappeared from people's sight. Since when, the spring buds have dyed the Forbidden City full of vitality. The green in the white is particularly lively, making people feel happy.

Over the past few years, Concubine De Uya has never given up trying to please the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, but the effect has not been very good.

Two years ago, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and Kangxi returned her position as concubine to her. After giving birth to her daughter, there was no movement in her belly.

He could only hold on to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who was nominally his biological son.

She sent gifts to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen even more frequently, and would often go to the vicinity of the prince's residence to meet him, expressing her motherly love and talking about her inner suffering.

She said that she was reluctant to send him away, but because the imperial concubine was domineering and favored by the emperor, she had no choice but to send him away.

She said that ever since he was sent away, she missed him every night and made many small clothes for him, but she didn't send them to him because she was afraid that the imperial concubine would not like it.

Every time, she would stop Fourth Prince Yinzhen and talk to him about a lot of things, expressing her so-called motherly love, which made Fourth Prince Yinzhen's face even colder.

Duofu's private complaints about the increasingly icy face of the fourth prince Yinzhen as he grew older were all due to Concubine De Uya.

If you send something ten times and it is accepted once, people will say it is good luck.

That's true. Fourth Prince Yinzhen did it for Imperial Noble Consort Tong to see. He couldn't let people think that he was cold-hearted and didn't miss his biological mother, which would be unfilial and would affect Imperial Noble Consort Tong's impression of him as a good son.

At the beginning, when the Fourth Prince Yinzhen received the small clothes from Noble Lady De Uya, he was secretly happy. But then Duofu found a not-so-obvious word "Zuo" inside the clothes.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen never personally accepted gifts from Concubine De again, nor did he show any joy.

In De'niang's eyes, he only deserved what others didn't want, and she even told him how much she missed him and how many small clothes she made for him. This was what she called missing him.

Even Duofu, a dog who doesn't know how to read people's faces, can feel the sarcasm on the little face of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

Duofu was very happy, because she saved the Fourth Prince Yinzhen from falling into the trap of false maternal love. When he wanted you, he was unwilling to please you and was not sincere at all. When the Fourteenth Prince was born, he would not even be willing to look at you.

As long as you don't have any feelings when you are young, you will naturally have no natural filter for your biological mother when you grow up.

You will not fall into a deep quagmire and be manipulated at will by your so-called biological mother.

A bad person won't be a good mother.

It's a pity that there is no mechanism for selecting parents now, otherwise people like Depin Uya would not be qualified to be a mother.

She had no love for her daughters, especially the youngest one, and often blamed the little princess. If she wasn't so big and her body was damaged by giving birth, would she not be able to get pregnant for two or three years?

Duofu also went to the Imperial Garden to play, and when he heard the gossip about Yonghe Palace, he couldn't help but prick up his ears. He heard that the life of the three princesses was almost the same as the life without a mother.

Depin made them sick at any time and used them as bargaining chips for Kangxi to come to Yonghe Palace. As a result, none of the three daughters were in good health, especially the youngest one, who was only two or three years old, but was not even as big as a one-year-old baby and looked malnourished.

When Duofu heard that, he didn't believe it and thought it was a rumor spread by people who didn't like Yonghe Palace.

There are rumors flying everywhere in the palace, and one must be able to distinguish the truth from the false. Duofu thinks he has done a good job in this regard.

Who would have thought that one day when I saw outside the little princess born to Concubine De, who was almost three years old, she had not yet learned to walk and was always held by her wet nurse. Her face was so skinny without any baby fat, and her face was sallow without a trace of blood.

It was such a cold day and Duofu didn’t even know why Depin brought the little princess out?

I followed him secretly and found out that he went to the prince's place to get close to him. But he knew he was useless, so he took his young and sickly daughter with him.

It was indeed useful. When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw the little sister, his eyes lit up. She was his own sister.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen still felt a little concerned in his heart. Looking at the little girl, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. He spoke a few more words to Concubine De, even with a smile.

Afterwards, Depin seemed to have found a way to control the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and would take her youngest daughter with her to wait for the opportunity.

Fourth Prince Yinzhen, this stupid rabbit, really gets fooled every time.

Later, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong could not stand it anymore, and when Depin went to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects, she mocked her harshly, which made Depin restrain herself a little.

The little princess gained the favor of the Fourth Prince, and was gradually taken care of better and better by Concubine De, becoming whiter and plumper.

Maybe Depin Uya was afraid that if she raised the baby too roughly, she would accidentally kill him. Then she would be the only tool she could use to get close to him, and all her efforts over the past few years would be in vain.

Sure enough, every time the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw his younger sister getting healthier and healthier, his attitude towards Concubine De became better and better.

At least it won't be like the beginning, where he just had an icy face, said nothing, and refused to accept anything.

Standing there silently watching Depin perform, Depin felt a little embarrassed at first.

She couldn't stop cursing in her heart. He was indeed a debt collector and an ungrateful person. Even her, his own mother, had to be so humble to please him.

He was actually indifferent.

With the help of the little princess, the relationship between Concubine De Uya and Fourth Prince Yinzhen entered a honeymoon period.

At least based on the things given by the little princess, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen would accept them, but he never used them. He would just find a box and have people pile them up casually.

At first, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen didn't want to pay any attention to Concubine De Uya, but when he saw the thin and weak little sister, especially knowing that she was his biological sister with the same father and mother, he couldn't help it.

When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw the little sister for the first time, he knew that De'en Niang had not raised her well.

He had seen Concubine Yi taking the Ninth Prince out to play before. The Ninth Prince, who was over one year old, was raised by Concubine Yi to be plump and white. If you poked a hole in his hand and feet, the exposed hands and feet looked like sections of white and tender lotus roots.

When he was just over one year old, he could already run by himself, and he ran so fast that the wet nurse behind him could not catch up with him. Several eunuchs and palace maids surrounded the Ninth Prince, fearing that he would accidentally fall while running.

Even when the Sixth Prince was a child, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had an impression of him. He was definitely not like the little sister, so thin and small with a sickly face.

The Sixth Prince's mother raised him very well, but when it came to the little sister, she looked like this.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen was even more disgusted with Concubine De Uya in his heart.

But he didn't show it, because he was afraid that if he didn't like his little sister, she would suddenly disappear one day.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen felt in his heart that De'niang was capable of such a thing.
