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

Chapter 486 Entering the Palace

That afternoon, Lin Mingyan packed up everything, gathered the eight princes in the mansion in the front yard, and took everyone to the palace.

Classes in the palace study start very early. If the children are sent there before class tomorrow, they will suffer.

So she sent a letter to Concubine De's palace and sent the children there before the palace gate was locked today.

When they arrived at Yonghe Palace, Concubine De's face was not looking good. She barely greeted the children and then could not hold on any longer.

"Take the children outside to play for a while," Concubine De waved her hand and asked Madam Gao to take them out. She took Lin Mingyan's hand and said, "The fourth lady's wife will accompany me to talk."

Lin Mingyan knew that she had something to say, so she asked the people around her to follow her out.

The hall suddenly became deserted, and De Fei finally let out a breath of air: "Any news from the Fourth Master?"

A while ago, the Emperor returned to the palace, but said that the fourth prince had contracted an epidemic and was staying outside to recuperate.

In addition, the crown prince was deposed, Thirteen was imprisoned, and Eighteen lost his life.

Concubine De had also experienced turbulent days and was frightened at once.

I wanted to ask what happened, but I didn't dare to move under the nose of Emperor Kangxi.

Unexpectedly, after the Emperor returned to the palace, he became nicer to Fourteenth and called him over to teach him from time to time.

Defei speculated that the Emperor took better care of the Fourteenth Prince out of a desire to compensate him because the Fourth Prince had made great contributions.

But then, Twelve and Fourteen both got the plague...

She is not a fool. Twelve and Fourteen have been very much loved recently, but they both fell ill. There is no such coincidence in the world.

Not to mention, the Emperor was very angry in the Qianqing Palace that day.

So, what happened?

Of course, Lin Mingyan didn't dare to tell Concubine De. After all, she couldn't let a word out about these things.

Even if Concubine De and the Fourth Master were of the same mind, they couldn't say it, not to mention that Concubine De was a biased mother who favored her youngest son?

She could only sigh and say, "The Fourth Master's illness isn't that serious. I heard he happened to meet a miracle doctor who prescribed a prescription for him."

"Miracle doctor? Has the prescription been delivered?" Defei's attention was immediately attracted.

After all, Fourteenth also contracted the epidemic. Although there were imperial physicians in the palace, they had been ineffective for several days and his illness was getting worse.

If the fourth brother has a good recipe, I will definitely use it first.

Lin Mingyan originally wanted to find an excuse for the Fourth Master's illness to heal quickly, but she didn't expect that Concubine De's focus was still on the Fourteenth.

She could only spread her hands and said, "The Fourth Master will be back in the next two days. Once he comes back, ask him to send the prescription to the palace."

De Fei was still anxious: "Did the fourth prince bring the miracle doctor back with him? Otherwise, we should let the miracle doctor come and take a look to put our minds at ease."

"The miracle doctor left the prescription and went on a journey. I don't know where he is now," Lin Mingyan made an excuse.

In fact, there is no such thing as a miracle doctor. Wasn’t the prescription developed by her at the request of Doctor Jia and Mrs. Wu?

No one knows about it outside, and of course we can't let it out for Fourteen.

Concubine De became anxious, thinking that the fourth prince was really unreliable and that she could not let the miracle doctor go no matter what.

I don’t know whether the two sons’ illnesses are exactly the same, and whether the prescription is suitable for Fourteenth’s illness.

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I didn't even bother to consider arranging accommodation for Honghui and the others.

Fortunately, Grandma Gao had a plan in mind. Seeing that Concubine De was slow to give instructions, she just followed the arrangements.

The main hall of Yonghe Palace was occupied by Concubine De, two maids lived in the west side, and the east side was originally occupied by the deceased Concubine Min, which is now empty.

There are four slightly larger rooms on the east side, which are just right for the eight princes to live in.

Lin Mingyan watched the servants putting the children's things away, and only then did she realize the disadvantages of having too many children.

There were many people and few houses in the palace, and Yonghe Palace was home to a concubine, so the place was not small.

But eight children lived in the west hall, which was so crowded that it made people feel suffocated.

Not to mention anything else, Lin Mingyan was only worried about Hongli and Hongzhou.

Both of these brothers are lawless. Now that they live together, they are afraid that they will cause trouble in Yonghe Palace.

But there was nothing she could do even if she was worried. She was not qualified to stay in the palace with them, so she could only entrust the children to Concubine De.

That night, Hongli was so excited that he couldn't sleep and pulled Hongzhou aside to talk.

It just so happened that Hong Zhou was not a worry-free person either, and the two of them chattered until midnight.

The next day, they both woke up with dark circles under their eyes and went to the study in a daze.

On the way, Honghui grabbed the skin on the back of their necks hard, which made them completely sober.

The two complained with tears in their eyes: "Brother~~~"

"It's the first day of school, Huang Mafa might go, are you going to yawn in front of him?" Honghui frowned slightly.

The two were most afraid of their eldest brother's expression, so they had to tighten their skin, cheer themselves up and go to the study.

Honghui guessed correctly, Emperor Kangxi did show up.

He sat at the top, looking at the young faces sitting below, envying their youth.

When his eyes fell on Honghui, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

I heard that although this child was born from triplets, he is healthier than other single babies.

When I was a child, I saw his little hands that looked like lotus root nodes and his loud cry, and I knew he was in good health.

Now he is eight years old, but he looks almost as old as a ten-year-old. You can tell at first glance that he is a very strong child.

With a body like this, living another fifty or sixty years won’t be a problem!

Emperor Kangxi's expression changed from a hint of satisfaction to fanaticism.

No one present was stupid, and everyone could see that he treated Honghui differently.

When we think about the fact that the Fourth Master was granted the title of Prince Yong, he became the prince with the highest status among all the princes.

Now he still dotes on Prince Yong's eldest son.

Doesn’t this mean that the next emperor will be fourth in line?

After Emperor Kangxi left, the teachers began to give lectures, and their attitudes clearly began to favor Honghui.

Hongyu, Hongxi and others in front are older than Honghui, and logically they have learned more deeply than him.

However, the teachers taught according to Honghui's learning progress, and Honghui became the most popular person for a while.

Even Hongli, who admired his elder brother the most, spoke in a somewhat awkward tone when talking about this.

"I didn't understand anything the teacher said today!" He whispered angrily to Hong Zhou.

Hong Zhou and his second brother Hong Yun were competing in eating. Upon hearing this, he scooped a large spoonful of crab meat soup into his mouth and said with a puffed mouth: "What? You are still listening to the class? I didn't listen!"

Ok.

Ever since he knew he was going to the palace to study, he knew he would not understand what was being said, so why should he listen?

It would be better to try more of the cooking skills of the imperial kitchen!

Hongli's eyes turned red with anger—Well, was he the only fool listening?!
