Chapter 118 The Crown Prince's Uniform
The Eighth Concubine was hurriedly brought to Prince Cheng's Mansion by Yinxiang, and then entered the palace without stopping.

Even when she knelt before Kangxi, the Eighth Concubine had not come to her senses.

When she heard Kangxi ask her about the prince's uniform, she subconsciously said, "Eighth Master is in charge of the Imperial Household Department for the Emperor. The Imperial Household Department is responsible for presenting four uniforms to the Yuqing Palace every month. Eighth Master is checking them out in advance for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Cheng found it funny: "I understand that my eighth brother's wife wants to protect my eighth brother, but she can't just say that. How did the things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince end up in my eighth brother's hands?"

"Besides, the size doesn't match." Prince Cheng measured it on himself, "It looks like it was prepared for Old Eight himself."

The Eighth Lady's head was buzzing, and she suddenly remembered Yinxiang's two words.

Was it sewn by my sister-in-law for my brother, or did my brother ask someone to prepare it privately?

These two choices mean two outcomes. If she dares to covet the position of the crown prince, she and the Eighth Master will have to make one or both compromises today.

After taking a deep breath, the Eighth Lady stiffened her neck and said, "To answer your question, Father, I thought this dress was beautiful, so I made one according to the pattern and wanted to show it to you. I put it in your study as a surprise, but you have been busy with the marriage of the Crown Prince and you haven't found it yet. It's all my fault, Father. Please punish me."

"Are you ignorant?" Kangxi's tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder to the ears of the people kneeling on the ground.

"I think you know too much." Kangxi made the final decision, "Old Eighth indulged you in your mischief, so he is also guilty."

"You two are so brave to secretly collude with the students taking the imperial examinations, and use my money to promote the reputation of Old Eighth.

"Your Majesty, this is all my daughter-in-law's fault. The Eighth Master is completely unaware of it. In order to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites in preparing for the prince's wedding, the Eighth Master has not returned home for a long time. Besides, Concubine Liang has bestowed upon him several beautiful princesses. Even when the Eighth Master returns home, he seldom comes to see my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law hasn't spoken to him for a long time. This matter really has nothing to do with the Eighth Master. Your Majesty, please believe me!" The Eighth Lady spoke quickly, fearing that Kangxi would not believe her, and even said something like the couple's discord.

"I cannot listen to your family's words. You are not allowed to speak after Old Eighth comes. I want to see whether you acted on your own or if you and your wife conspired together!"

After Kangxi finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the Eighth Lady and took Yinxiang aside to talk about some interesting things. Time passed quickly.

When the Eighth Prince arrived, the Eighth Lady was kneeling beside him with traces of crying on her face. Prince Cheng looked as if he was gloating over her misfortune, and Yinxiang was talking to Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, I wish you good health."

"You rebellious son, if you could use less despicable means, I will be more at peace!" Kangxi looked very angry.

"I am very scared and don't know what mistake I have made. Please enlighten me, Father." The Eighth Prince knelt on the ground in fear and glanced at the Eighth Lady.

Guo Luoluo shook her head gently. The Eighth Prince seemed to understand something. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, he continued, "Guo Luoluo is ignorant. I will teach her slowly when I go back. Don't get angry with a woman. You will get sick if you get angry."

"Tell me, have you seen this prince's uniform?"

"What is this?" The Eighth Prince's shock didn't seem fake, he had indeed never seen this dress before.

Moreover, he had clearly thought of this, but he was still successfully framed. This shows that the person behind him really has connections.

Kangxi said in a resounding voice: "The Crown Prince is my legitimate son, the heir to the throne of the Qing Dynasty, and also your elder brother. You must respect him both in public and in private. Such disrespectful behavior must be severely punished!"

"Father, I didn't know that Guo Luoluo had done such a foolish thing. I am guilty of negligence. Please punish me." The Eighth Prince showed a look of disappointment to the Eighth Lady. "Although Guo Luoluo didn't mean to be disrespectful to the Crown Prince, I will discipline her strictly in the future!" "This woman, first, can't give birth to an heir, second, she is not virtuous, and third, she is ambitious. If she stays with you, she will be a disaster sooner or later. For the sake of her grandfather, I will keep her. Your harem will be managed by the Eight Banners ladies for you."

With just one word, Kangxi added a distinguished concubine to the Eighth Master's mansion.

The imperial examination was reopened with a different test question, and Rong Haibin actually won the third place.

For a time, everyone believed his drunken remarks, and every day there were people wandering around in front of the Eighth Master's mansion hoping to get lucky.

He kept shouting, "I want to see the Eighth Lady," "I don't want money, I just want to be an official," and so on, casting a strange shadow on the Eighth Prince's reputation.

Four Baylor House.

Rong Haibin changed into an inconspicuous pair of shorts, disguised himself as a servant, and appeared in Yinzhen's study.

"My brother's revenge was avenged thanks to the help of the Fourth Prince. I would like to thank the Fourth Prince here." Rong Haibin solemnly lifted his robe, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

"The fact that you are alive means that the emperor has chosen you. It's your ability and has nothing to do with me." Yinzhen still had a cold expression on his face, indicating that your affairs have nothing to do with me.

"I will keep it in my heart and will never forget it." Rong Haibin has always been brooding over the death of his brother. His brother was considered a lewd man by the people of the world, but what good was it for him to use his money to study?

After Rong Haibin learned the cause of his brother's death, his wish changed from passing the imperial examination to achieving revenge.

For this, he was willing to sacrifice his own life.

Fortunately, Kangxi was not interested in his life.

Yihuan was in a very good mood. If she wasn't afraid of being noticed, she would have wanted to sing a song. She looked at the book that the accountants had sorted out and gave it to Yinzhen when he came back.

"These are fake accounts made by my eighth brother's wife. I hope you can lend me a hand."

"She basically only has the title of Concubine left, and you're not going to let her go?" Yinzhen was a little curious. This fake account could at most provide some evidence for the Eighth Concubine's crime of buying and selling official positions and titles. Why did Yihuan insist on doing this?

"No, she still has the guilt and pity of the Eighth Prince. However, if the Eighth Prince knew that she had taken advantage of his influence to amass a fortune, it would be hard to tell how much of the money was given to the Eighth Prince."

Yihuan smiled and said that as long as the Eighth Prince became suspicious of the Eighth Lady, that would be the beginning of her life's failure.

Yinzhen shook his head. No wonder Confucius said that only women and villains were difficult to raise. Once a woman becomes cruel, she can really cause trouble for you.

"The prince's uniform at Old Eighth's place appeared before Thirteenth Brother had a chance to make a move." Yinzhen reminded Yihuan, "It seems that someone else knows about our actions. He even nailed Old Eighth to death himself. It seems that he has a grudge against him."

"After this matter is over, we have to keep a low profile for a while. In a few days, we will take the children to live in another courtyard for a while." Yinzhen said.

"Master, do you want to farm again?" Yihuan found it interesting and asked with a smile.

"We have to make Honghui and Hongyun keep their heads down." Yinzhen seemed to be thinking about something. He was afraid that some people would become desperate and harm the children.
