The Fourth Master's Dog

The rumors became more and more outrageous, some even said that Imperial Noble Concubine Tong was about to die of illness in Chengqian Palace.

That's why he didn't have the chance to come out and show off his power to them, act superior and arrogant.

The three thousand beauties in Kangxi's harem have suffered for Consort Tong for a long time.

Everyone wished she would die soon.

The Fourth Prince Yinzhen did not hear the various unrealistic rumors in the harem while he was in the study.

He is very busy every day now. After finishing his classes in the study, he has to go back to Chengqian Palace to cultivate his relationship with his younger brother, and by the way, act the role of a good son and a good brother in front of Concubine Tong.

He really wanted to be a good brother. When he saw that little kid, his crying was so tiny and weak, much weaker than Duofu's ghostly howling.

This made the Fourth Prince Yinzhen couldn't help but pay more attention to his younger brother.

Recently, Duofu has been a little jealous of this little prince who likes to cry.

Imperial Noble Consort Tong was very satisfied with Fourth Prince Yinzhen's initiative to get close to her.

The way they get along with each other should really have the feeling of a loving mother and a filial son.

Kangxi conferred titles on his harem for the second time.

Mainly rewarding the concubines who supported him during the Three Feudatories Rebellion.

During this grand ceremony of conferring titles on the harem, Kangxi conferred titles on four concubines in total, namely, Concubine Hui Nala, Concubine Yi Guo Luoluo, Concubine De Uya and Concubine Rong Ma Jia.

The families of these four concubines all made significant contributions to Kangxi during the Three Feudatories Rebellion, or they gave birth to children and were favored by Kangxi in his early years, which led to their titles as concubines.

The family provided them with conveniences, and after they were made concubines, they also brought great honor and benefits to the family.

In addition to enthroning concubines, Kangxi also conferred titles and rewards on other concubines.

He conferred the title of Imperial Concubine on Niuhulu, the title of Concubine Xi on Hesheli, the title of Concubine Duan on Dong'e, the title of Concubine An on Li, the title of Concubine Jing on Wangjia, and so on.

As a result, the families of these concubines also received varying degrees of rewards and honors.

When Imperial Concubine Tong heard the imperial edict to confer titles on the concubines in the harem, she did not wait for the imperial edict to confer herself the title of Empress.

Imperial Concubine Tong sat on the couch in Chengqian Palace with a look of disbelief on her face.

The emperor's cousin only gave her a title, and she was still just an imperial concubine.

Imperial Concubine Tong had just gone to receive the imperial edict from her cousin the Emperor with great joy.

She felt something was wrong halfway through listening. Those compliments were no different from her promotion to Imperial Noble Consort. In the end, she only heard the word "go".

And pure.

Imperial Concubine Tong's mind was filled with the familiar imperial edict.

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

I believe that the Five Classics are prudent and respectful, and that she values ​​the influence of concubines Yu. The two Nan Zhengshi and Guan Ju are the virtuous assistants of Si. We have examined the ancient rules of the past dynasties. We have promoted you to the rank of imperial concubine. I ask you, Imperial Noble Consort Tong. You are born into a famous family. You assist the inner chamber. You are gentle and kind. You are upright and virtuous. You follow the rules of history and are diligent. You set an example for the emperor and are well-mannered. You are well-mannered and well-mannered. I hereby follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager and promote you to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort. You are gentle and kind, and you are prudent. You are harmonious and polite. You are quiet and leisurely. You should be given more favors to show your praise. I specially confer you the title of Hechun. You will be a shining example for the inner chamber, and bring blessings to the future. You will be more careful in your wifely manners, and your family will flourish forever. I admire you!

Ever since she was conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort, she would take out this imperial edict from time to time to look at it, and she had already memorized it by heart.

How could the emperor cousin treat her like this?

Queen Niohuru had been dead for several years, and her sister had been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine.

Why can’t her cousin become the queen?

Imperial Concubine Tong sat on the cushion in a daze, not moving a muscle.

Those beautiful, bright eyes lost their former luster, and drop after drop of crystal tears fell.

She always thought that she had no chance to become the empress because she had not given birth to a child for her cousin, the emperor.

Otherwise, the last time the emperor's cousin was crowning the empress, there was no way he would have chosen that bitch Niohuru.

Why this time? She is the most suitable person, why didn't the emperor cousin choose her?

Imperial Concubine Tong lay on the warm pillow and burst into tears.

As soon as the wet nurse came in with the tonic, she saw her own mother crying heartbrokenly on the pillow.

She had advised long ago that once they entered the palace, the little girls should put their thoughts into control.

Your Majesty is a wise emperor and it is impossible for him to do things that only foolish rulers would do.

What's more, His Majesty was raised by the Grand Empress Dowager, and what the Grand Empress Dowager hated most in her life was a favorite concubine.

It is impossible for His Majesty to have a favorite concubine in his harem, otherwise she would have been taken away by the Empress Dowager long ago.

Fortunately, the Empress was only a little overbearing. Although His Majesty showed her a little more favor, it was not much more.

There are so many concubines in the harem, including all kinds of beauties. What's more, His Majesty is not the kind of person who only loves beauties and not the country.

Imperial Concubine Tong has always wanted an emperor cousin who loves her wholeheartedly.

How is this possible?

The wet nurse gently placed the tonic on the small tea table, reached out her hand, and gently wiped the tear marks on Concubine Tong's face.

"Your Highness, you already know in your heart that His Majesty will never allow Tong Jia to produce a queen."

"Why bother begging so hard when you clearly don't understand."

The wet nurse was also very distressed. She had been very busy recently and had lost a lot of weight. Her tone was no longer as gentle and innocent as it usually was when she coaxed the children.

"You are now the mother of the emperor, and you also have a little prince. Even if you don't become the queen, you are still the first person in the harem."

Imperial Concubine Tong threw herself into her wet nurse's arms and cried, her voice sounding aggrieved.

"I just can't accept this. I just can't accept this."

"Only if I die will my cousin the Emperor posthumously confer the title of Empress?"

The wet nurse quickly made a "Pooh" sound.

"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter how important the queen is, it is not as important as your Majesty being alive."

"Thinking about the little prince will make you happier."

When Imperial Concubine Tong thought of the chubby and fair little Fifteen, she felt better.

Her big eyes were filled with love for her mother, and she smiled sweetly at her.

"Yes, I still have a son. I still have a son."

Every time when Imperial Concubine Tong wanted to be completely disappointed with Kangxi, a trace of warmth would suddenly appear in front of her, making her fall into it involuntarily.

She always believed that her cousin the emperor had feelings for her and loved her.

It’s just that the emperor cousin had too much love, and if he gave her a little here and a little there, there wouldn’t be much left.

Sometimes, the share given to her would be taken back out of stinginess by her cousin the emperor.

Imperial Concubine Tong decided to transfer all her love to her youngest son.

After staying in the harem for more than ten years, Imperial Noble Concubine Tong felt she was too tired.

The emperor's cousin could not treat her the same way he treated Empress Xiaochengren, Hesheli.

As a living person, she could never win over the person who died early, especially when she died of childbirth complications.

Imperial Concubine Tong gave a bitter smile. She should have understood long ago the attitude of her cousin the Emperor towards Crown Prince Yinreng.

He raised her personally since she was a child and gave her whatever she wanted, so even she had to take a step back.

What qualifications does she have to fight?
