Chapter 210 Yue Xing'a

Yihuan looked at the wet nurse. She seemed to be in her early thirties and had a pretty face even without makeup.

After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he gave the deposed crown prince the title of Prince Li, and at the same time released Hongxi and Hongjin from their confinement. Although they still could not leave the palace, at least they had relative freedom to study.

Hong Zhao was taken care of by people chosen by the former Crown Princess and lived with Concubine Qing, while Hong Hui and others lived in the prince's residence.

Since Kangxi ordered that Hongzhao be raised by the then Concubine Qing, and since Hongzhao was still young, Yinzhen did not want to touch him for a while.

After all, Hongzhao's identity is sensitive. After all, he is the legitimate grandson of the late emperor and holds the title of orthodoxy.

Yihuan brought the wet nurse back to Yiku Palace and sent someone to invite Concubine Qing.

Nanny Chen gave Yihuan an urgent extra lesson and briefly talked about the life of Concubine Qing, who was Kangxi's stepmother. She was over seventy years old this year. She was not from a prominent Manchu family, her family was small, and no one was an official in the court. She was just an insignificant person.

Perhaps considering that this person was unreliable, Kangxi appointed her to raise Hongzhao.

However, since Concubine Qing was old and in poor spirits, and the people left behind by Tong Guining were guarding him closely, he was basically just in name only. In fact, Hong Zhao was kept by a group of servants during this period.

After Yinzhen ascended the throne, Kangxi's previous generation were moved to Changchun Garden. Only Concubine Qing remained in the palace because of Hongzhao, which was quite special.

Nanny Chen gave Yihuan a heads-up in advance, saying that this person probably really knew nothing.

Not long after, an old lady with silver hair and neat clothes came to Yikun Palace. Yihuan quickly stood up and helped her sit down: "Don't worry, Concubine Tai, I don't have anything important to do. It just involves Prince Hongzhao. Please come over to understand the situation."

Concubine Qing looked like she lived a long life. Her eyes were clear, her waist was slightly bent, her hands were not shaking, and her voice was quite loud: "Your Highness, if the Queen has anything to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"Is this the wet nurse left behind by the late Crown Princess?" Yihuan pointed at the person kneeling at the two people's feet and asked.

"This is the second one." As soon as Concubine Qing said this, Yihuan was confused.

"The first one was a good boy. He treated Hongzhao as if he were his lifeblood. I could understand that. Apart from assigning people to look after his daily life, he basically did not interfere in Hongzhao's affairs." Concubine Qing recalled and shook her head. "He was just unlucky. He got an acute illness within a few days. Once a servant in the palace got an acute illness, they could not take care of their master, so they were sent away."

"The Tong family used their connections in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send another one in, and this one is it." Concubine Qing obviously had something to say about the wet nurse in front of her, "She walks coquettishly, and her eyes stare at people with hooks. She doesn't look like someone who can take care of people."

"I'm old now. It's no use saying it a few times. I can only give up." Concubine Qing sighed, "I just feel that something will happen. Queen, tell me, what trouble has she caused?"

"Prince Hongzhao said disrespectful words to the emperor in the upper study today. Considering his age, he was most likely instigated by someone. Has the Concubine Tai heard similar rumors in the palace?" Yihuan continued.

Taipin was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know anything. She must have taught me. Queen, Hongzhao's good child was ruined by these people!"

"Please stand up, Your Majesty." Yihuan signaled Yuling to help the person up quickly. After all, she had seniority, so Yihuan was very polite.

"Hong Zhao can no longer be sent back to you. I hope you understand."

The imperial concubine was reluctant to let her go. Old people like children more, but life is more important. She nodded, and Yihua signaled Chen Ma to send the guest away. "Abao, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and check which master of the Tong family sent this wet nurse in."

"As for her, send her directly to the Ministry of Punishment."

After hearing that Honghui was taking Xiaolang and Hongzhao to play on the slide in the Imperial Garden, Yihuan followed them, only to see the two kids glaring at each other and sulking at each other. If she didn't know how serious the matter was, Yihuan would have thought this scene was very heartwarming.

"Empress Mother!" The little wolf had sharp eyes and ran over shouting.

Hong Zhao also recognized people: "Hong Zhao pays respects to the Empress!"

There was a pavilion next to the slide, and Yihuan sat inside, holding one child in each hand.

"Hongyan, Hongzhao, you are both good kids. You know each other better than you fight. How about we make a promise and be friends in the future?"

When Xiaolang heard Yihuan calling him by his full name, he knew that his mother was a little angry. Although he was still a little unconvinced, he still nodded reluctantly: "Empress Mother, Brother Hongzhao wants to apologize to Father Huang!"

"Hmm?" Yihuan tilted her head.

"My eldest brother said that knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve oneself. Hong Yan hit his younger brother, so it was Hong Yan's fault. But since brother Hong Zhao slandered the emperor, he should also apologize to the emperor!"

Yihuan seriously suspected that Hongzhao did not understand what he meant by the words "robber" and "thief" before, and he was just instilled with information that he should not know. However, according to Yinzhen's temperament, this child can only grow up under his nose, and the period is for a lifetime.

Hong Zhao was indeed a little confused. He looked up at Yi Hua with his watery eyes blinking cutely: "Did Hong Zhao say something wrong? This is what Uncle Tong taught me. He told Hong Zhao not to forget it."

"Hong Zhao, you should listen to the emperor first and then your uncle, okay? When you see the emperor later, remember to follow Hong Yan's instructions and admit your mistakes first, okay?" Yi Huan touched his head and saw what Xiao Lang wanted to say, so she glared at him. Things had already gotten out of hand, so this ancestor should stop adding fuel to the fire.

Hongzhao's uncle, Yihuan dug out a person from deep in her memory. Since the Longkodo incident, only Yue Xing'a in the Tong family had a smooth career in recent years because of the protection of Prince Youli.

Could it be him?

Little Wolf felt extremely wronged. Today his eldest brother slapped his hand and his mother glared at him. Little Wolf, who had never been treated so "harshly" before, stomped his feet and ran away. Looking at the direction he ran, it was to the Yangxin Palace. It seemed that he was going to complain to Yinzhen.

Honghui quickly picked the man up, tickled his armpits, and finally made him laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Yinzhen's voice came. Yihuan looked up and saw Su Peisheng following behind him. The two of them were walking slowly towards her.

Yihuan looked at him carefully, and Yinzhen seemed to be in a good mood: "You just fell this morning, and you ran around everywhere in the afternoon without taking a rest. I asked Thirteen to keep an eye on government affairs, so I had time to come and see you, but in the end I came back empty-handed."

"Hongyan is so powerful today that he can even be cruel to his younger brother." Yinzhen sat next to Yihuan and gave Xiaolang a kind smile.

Hong Yan then became really scared. He hid himself behind Hong Hui and dared not speak.

For the first time, he felt that being the Emperor's father was a bit scary. Hong Yan's expression revealed his inner thoughts. Yi Huan watched with her chin propped up, feeling that today was not completely fruitless. At least Hong Yan had learned to be respectful.
