Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 182 The Crown Princess Takes Charge of the Palace

The Fourteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang were born in the same year, and their mothers both lived in Yonghe Palace.

Even before Concubine Min was promoted, she was just a small concubine.

Yinxiang was raised by Depin, the head of Yonghe Palace, so Thirteen and Fourteen grew up together and had a very good relationship.

But this is what Yinzhen thinks.

Because Yinzhen was favored by Concubine De, he was somewhat arrogant, overbearing and willful. He did not have much respect for Yinxiang as an elder brother, and sometimes treated him more like a little follower.

So Yinxiang actually didn't like Yinzhen very much, but because his mother's status was low and he was worried about being bullied by Concubine De, he just endured it.

He prefers to take care of his second and fourth brothers, the crown prince, more often.

His mother was of low status and he was raised by Concubine De. Whether for his own sake or for his mother's, he could only follow Yinzhen.

However, now that his mother has become a concubine, although it does not have a big impact on these little princes, Yinxiang's attitude towards Yinzhen has become much more relaxed.

But now, there is something unclear between Concubine Min and Concubine De.

After determining the residences of the princes, everyone started moving.

Now Yinyang and Yinzhen still live in Yuqing Palace.

Most of Yin's things, as well as the things left to him by the imperial concubine, were temporarily placed in the Eastern Palace as Yin moved into it after the imperial concubine's death.

After hearing the old man's order, Wanyu asked Yin whether he should move his things to the South Third Building.

After the Imperial Concubine passed away, it was the Crown Prince and his wife who took care of his younger brother, Yin?

Maybe he had some fledgling complex, or maybe it was because his mother had passed away, which made Yin extremely insecure.

So under the care of his brother and sister-in-law, Yin felt the warmth from this gentle, considerate, and understanding sister-in-law.

If Wanyu wasn't too old, Yin could have seen the shadow of his mother in her.

But Yin? He truly regarded Wanyu as a close elder.

The Crown Prince's second brother and second sister-in-law are his closest elders in the palace.

Especially my second sister-in-law.

He didn't want to move all his things away, as that would make him feel like he had completely cut off ties with them, as if they were no longer his closest people.

So after some hesitation, Yin did not agree and moved his things to the South Third Institute.

I just ask my second sister-in-law to continue to store the things in Yuqing Palace, and move to his own mansion after he leaves the palace and builds his own residence.

Yinreng looked at his awkward and shy expression and did not refuse. He just asked Wanyu to seal up all his belongings.

As for the shops, farms and other businesses outside the palace, Yinreng handed them over to Faka of the Nianhulu family for management.

After all, Faka no longer has a title and no position. Apart from assisting his younger brother who has just inherited the title, he is completely idle at home.

But he was worried about his nephew in the palace, so Yinreng gave the dowry, shops, and land that the concubine had left to Yinreng to Faka to manage for Yinreng.

With his uncle watching over him, he didn't have to worry about the people below pretending to obey him and secretly disobeying him just because the young master was still young and couldn't leave the palace at will.

The annual revenue would be handed over by Faka to Yinreng, who would give a portion of it to Yinreng for pocket money.

The remaining money was stored for him.

Yin? He didn't feel unhappy at all, but rather felt very touched.

He felt that he was not alone.

Even though his mother had passed away, his second brother and his wife were still there to look after him and take care of him.

He also has a companion, Brother Jiu, by his side.

Although he still thinks of his mother often, he is no longer as sad as he was at the beginning.

In addition to the first two edicts, the third edict concerns the fifth, seventh and eighth princes.

Emperor Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Household Department to start construction together, and in the 34th year of the reign, they started building residences for the fifth, seventh and eighth princes.

If nothing unexpected happens, these three princes will soon move out of the palace.

The fourth decree is that the general election, which is held every three years, will be held exceptionally in February in the thirty-fourth year.

This month, both the court and the harem were busy.

Even the prince and his wife, who had nothing to do with it, were extremely busy.

At the end of each year, the Qianqing Palace received an unusually large number of memorials, most of which were greetings from officials from all over the country.

Yinreng took over this matter.

Because of the death of the imperial concubine, the emperor ordered the Crown Princess to host various banquets in the palace at the end of the year, and the four concubines assisted the Crown Princess.

This was her first time hosting the palace's annual banquet. Last year, she was still learning from the Imperial Concubine and the Four Concubines.

So Wanyu was also extremely cautious and was always trembling with fear, worried that something might go wrong.

Not only that, the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince left the palace and moved into the newly built prince's mansion.

As agreed earlier, after they move into the house, they will invite all the brothers to the house for a housewarming party.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess must also attend.

Wanyu happened to go to the Fourth Prince's mansion and met Wanlin again.

And from what Wanlin said, my great uncle Shi Wenbing is on his way back to Beijing and will arrive in a few days.

Wanyu was still very happy that her uncle returned to Beijing.

December was a very busy month for Yinreng and Wanyu.

But fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Although there were some minor incidents in the middle, they were quickly resolved with Maska supporting Wanyu from behind.

The Spring Festival ended, the 33rd year of the Kangxi reign ended, and Wanyu also gained something.

Completely suppressing Alinga can be considered a small revenge for his second sister.

Many of the people from the Uya clan in the Imperial Household Department were suppressed by Maska for various reasons.

Depin suffered heavy losses in the palace.

Just when Wanyu thought that the 33rd year of Kangxi's reign had passed without any major incidents and was about to usher in the brand new and beautiful 34th year of Kangxi's reign, old man Kangxi suddenly dropped a bomb.

The old man issued an edict that from now on the Crown Princess would be in charge of the power of the six palaces.

From now on, all matters major and minor in the palace will be managed by the Crown Princess, but the four concubines have the power to assist the Crown Princess in leading the six palaces.

Almost everyone in the palace was shocked by the news.

Especially Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong, who were eyeing the position of Imperial Concubine, and Concubine De, who wanted to return to the position of Concubine.

This news was like a bolt from the blue for them!

The palace was bustling with activity at the end of the year and the beginning of the next, and the Fourth Prince's residence outside the palace was no less bustling. The bustle even continued until the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

The reason was that the Fourth Prince's daughter, Lady Li, was found to be one month pregnant.

This woman was very arrogant and presumptuous in the mansion, relying on her pregnancy.

Not only did she dare to mock Wanlin and Song for not being able to keep the child, she also dared to provoke the concubine for not being able to have children when paying her respects, and even said that she was pregnant with a little prince.

Some even said that Prince Anle was not lucky enough to have a son, and that the one she was pregnant with must be the eldest prince in the mansion.

The brainless woman offended three women who were higher in status and more respected than her.

Not to mention the wife and the concubine, although Song was also a princess, at least she gave birth to the Fourth Prince's eldest daughter, so she still had some affection for him.

Wanlin didn't have a good attitude towards this woman because she knew about the connection between Li and Depin.

She couldn't take revenge on Concubine De for the time being, but Concubine De had her third sister to deal with in the palace, so she planned to deal with Li first.

I was just waiting to teach this guy a lesson after leaving the palace, but I didn't expect him to become arrogant and domineering.

How dare you mock my own happiness and lack of blessings!
