Chapter 168 Huo agrees

After the selection, there was one more Princess Lin in Yuqing Palace.

Tong Guining looked at the woman with hair full of pearls and jade and was speechless for a moment.

Although her life has been full of ups and downs during this period, she still has an impression of this Ling Gege. Isn't this the girl Tong'er who served in the front yard? The prince even punished Hongxi because of her.

These two people were too bold. Tong Guining felt that she was becoming more and more confused about the prince. What was so special about this woman in front of her that made the prince take the risk to give her an identity?

Could it be that she was particularly favored by the prince in that aspect? !

Niuhulu, now known as Lin Tong'er, saw the Crown Princess's look a little strange, but she was not afraid of being recognized. After all, the people who had seen her were limited to Yuqing Palace, and no one here would disobey the Crown Prince's intentions.

As expected, Tong Guining just drank her tea as a routine, said some words about sisterly love and having more children, and then let her go. Now, in Tong Guining's heart, only Hongzhao is the most important, even the prince has to take a step back, she doesn't care what these two people do, as long as they don't implicate her Hongzhao.

Lin Tong'er waited for the prince on the evening she entered the mansion.

After the prince dismissed his attendants, he grabbed Lin Tong'er's neck with one hand and applied a little force. The slender neck seemed like it could be broken at any time.

"You're right. The Emperor wanted to depose me, but didn't want another prince to take the throne, so he found an excuse to reinstate me."

Lin Tong'er's face flushed red. She did not beg for mercy, but just looked at him steadily. The prince slowly loosened his hand and wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief.

"Prince, you have seen my abilities with your own eyes. How about cooperating with me? Give me Hongli and I will tell you what will happen next?"

The prince looked her up and down and said, "You are a complete mad woman. No wonder my fourth brother wants to kill you."

Lin Tong'er was touched in a sore spot, and her expression twisted: "We have a common enemy. I hate Prince Yong, and you hate that bastard Honghui. As long as you succeed in taking the throne, crushing Prince Yong's mansion will be as easy as crushing an ant."

The prince nodded: "As you wish."

While the prince was pretending to be nice to Lin Tong'er, he was thinking in his heart that after the deed was accomplished, the first person to die would be this crazy woman!

Many concubines entered the palace, among whom there was a woman who was very unique. She was the thinnest among them all, with an unnaturally cold white complexion. She never joked with anyone and had a stern face all day long. In the palace where people were expected to smile at the first thing they saw, she was very eye-catching.

This is the third time Miss Tao'er has served the emperor in the palace this month. The eunuch Gao Yuan, who is in charge of the cuckolds, has taken notice of her.

"Huo Da Ying, is your house comfortable? Do you want me to ask you to change it to one facing the sun?"

Huo Tao'er still looked indifferent: "I don't dare to trouble you, eunuch. I live alone in Fangfei Courtyard. Although there is less sunlight, it is quieter."

"Alas." Gao Yuan thought to himself, if I don't know how to enjoy this blessing, I will be doomed to suffer.

Huo Taoer was good at making tea. When Kangxi summoned her to handle government affairs, she would wait by the side and make a pot of good tea.

Kangxi liked to look at Huo Taoer's face, which looked like it could ascend to the Moon Palace, under the steam. That was why he was willing to chat with the little beauty.

"I see from your words and actions that you have also been educated."

"To answer your Majesty's question, my father was a fellow Jinshi, but he was only a seventh-rank official when he was alive. He died of a cold. My family is very poor, and in order to let my father die in a dignified manner, my sister secretly sold herself to bury my father as described in the storybook."

Kangxi was inexplicably drawn into her past experiences as she spoke in a calm tone. He put down the book in his hand and listened attentively.

"When I found out, my sister Ying'er was already married. Interestingly enough, that man was none other than the Ninth Prince."

"Master Jiu treated Ying'er very well. He even took her with him on tours outside the Great Wall. During that time, I was able to go to Master Jiu's house occasionally to ask to see my sister, and from time to time I was able to get some money from my sister to get by."

"As a woman without a man at home, I have a hard time living, fortunately I have the protection of Master Jiu." Huo Taoer showed a sincere smile at this, "Although I have never met Master Jiu, he is kind to my sister, so in my heart he is a good man." Kangxi's heart moved. He remembered that Master Jiu fell seriously ill during that tour. After that, he seemed like a different person when he went out to see people. Even now, he still calls for the imperial physician every few days.

"You and your sister have a very good relationship." Kangxi concluded that he and Prince Yu Fuquan also had a deep brotherly love and he could fully understand the friendship between the two who relied on each other.

"Yes, but my sister was unlucky. She died of illness like my father." Huo Taoer made an ugly expression. "Someone from Master Jiu's house came and rewarded me with some land. He asked me if I wanted anything else."

"I want to enter the palace to serve the emperor. I don't want to repeat the fate of my father and sister. I want to be cured when I'm sick." Huo Taoer looked up at Kangxi. "I am lucky to see the emperor. I just hope that the emperor will not despise my vulgarity."

"Hahaha." Kangxi couldn't help laughing. The woman in front of him was young and sincere, and had a tragic experience. She was a model of lovable people.

Kangxi touched Tao'er's scattered hair, his eyes seemed affectionate but were actually cold.

Who sent this person? Why was he selected so carefully? What is his purpose?

Kangxi pondered, the ninth one?

It shouldn’t be. Her involvement with Lao Jiu is too obvious. There must be other forces behind this.

There's no rush, he has plenty of time to explore.

After Nian Sisi entered the mansion, she suddenly found that her life after marriage was completely different from before.

Of course, Prince Yong's mansion did not treat her harshly. Although she was a princess, all her food, clothing and other necessities were the best available within the regulations.

But she has lost her freedom!

In the past, when she was at her second brother's house, if she wanted to go out and play, she just had to tell him, and he would put aside his work to accompany her.

Nowadays, in Prince Yong’s Mansion, you can only stroll in the garden, and it is difficult to get out of the inner courtyard.

This is one of them.

The second is that she has a very strange neighbor.

It is said that it was Nianhulu who had entered the mansion before, but this princess has never been seen since she entered the mansion. It is said that she has contracted some infectious disease and is not suitable to see people, so she can only rest.

Such words made her cover her mouth and nose every time she passed by Niuhulu's door every day, and she had to wash herself in various ways when she returned to the house, for fear of being infected.

The wife in the mansion is a good person, but the concubine Li is a troublemaker. She always looks down on people and is always unhappy when they meet unless she makes some sarcastic remarks.

Such a person was lucky that everyone in Prince Yong's mansion was harmonious, otherwise he would have been eaten alive long ago.

Nian Sisi was thinking of a hundred ways for Concubine Li to die in her mind, but she didn't put them into practice because she was not yet favored by Yinzhen.

Thinking of this, Nian Sisi felt a little frustrated. Prince Yong only entered her room during the first three days after she entered the mansion, and he was never seen again after that. Every day he was either in the front yard or the main yard.

This was a huge deviation from what she had imagined.

Nian Sisi began to think about how to gain a foothold in Prince Yong’s Mansion. This was a problem.

According to her observation, Prince Yong was a rule-abiding person. His daily routine was very precise and he would only break his old habits when he was with his wife.

This is not a good thing for me, I need my second brother’s help!
