Xianying retracted her hand from touching Yinzhen and looked up at Nanny Cui's eyes, which were full of words that she wanted to say to her. She smiled bitterly in her heart. She had only been here for half a month, but she could already vaguely understand the words in a woman's eyes. She did not know what the male soul in her body had left except for her memories.
She lowered her head and looked at the Eighth Princess who was sleeping soundly. Compared to Yinzhen, who was bound by fate and made her heart ache, the Eighth Princess, who had made her experience life and death, was more important. After all, she was not a pure woman. Even if she knew more or less what women were thinking, she still had some ruthlessness in her heart. She turned her head and glanced at the little guy who was pretending to be asleep and said in a low voice,"Granny, BenGong already doesn't know what to do. If sending Shen 'er to Jing Ren Palace to be raised was BenGong's request, then BenGong has continuously begged the Emperor to change the jade archive for the Fourth Prince so that he doesn't look like he's being raised on loan, but until now, he still hasn't been allowed to do so. This is especially so with the safe birth of the Eighth Imperial Daughter this time. Although her body is a little weak, if she is properly raised, she can grow up safely. BenGong does understand one thing."
In the past, Granny Cui had some opinions about the Emperor not allowing the Fourth Prince to change the birth on the jade archive. Now, she was more or less glad. However, after hearing her master's words today, it seemed like there was some inside story. Granny Cui asked in confusion,"Master"?
Xian Ya raised her head and looked at the confused Granny Cui. She thought that since she was going to be Granny Cui's trusted Granny, she had to have a certain amount of courage to do things for her. Although Xianying wouldn't rebel, she had done a lot of things to hide from Kang Xi in the palace. Without enough courage, Xianying didn't dare to use it. She turned to look at Granny Cui with cold and heartless eyes and said with a sarcastic sneer,"Presumably, the wet nurse heard something from BenGong's words. The Emperor handed Fourth Brother to me to raise but did not change the jade archive for him, allowing him to stay in this Jing Ren Palace for three whole years in name only, because of the Emperor, the Empress. Son."
Before this, no one had thought of this possibility. After all, Tong Jia Shi herself had not been pregnant for many years, causing people to always focus their attention on her weak body. However, no one had thought that since Tong Jia Shi was able to safely give birth to the Eighth Imperial Daughter this time, her body would not really have a problem. The only explanation was that the Emperor did not want Tong Jia Shi to be pregnant.
This time, he was able to safely give birth to the eighth daughter, who was very weak, probably because Kang Xi still had a trace of affection for Tong Jia. However, the other reason why the Emperor was so ruthless was only for the stability of the Qing Dynasty and for the Crown Prince to sit in that position safely.
Nanny Cui thought that if it was really for the Crown Prince, then as long as the Crown Prince was still in power, the Eighth Princess might be the only child of her master. The Eighth Princess was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as having died early on the day she was born. If there was really a case, what would her master do?
" If that's really the case, then what should Master do?" Granny Cui was completely at a loss for words. However, on second thought, it was indeed the case. The person with the highest position in the palace was her own Master. Furthermore, the Tongjia family, who was a blood relative of Kangxi's mother, if they could really give birth to a son, then there would definitely be many people in the court who had other thoughts. Even the Tong family would fight to the death for that supreme position. Then, the court and even the Qing Dynasty would have all kinds of problems.
Xianying smiled at Granny Cui who was so worried about her safety. She stood up and walked forward to hold her hand and patted it comfortingly. She said to Granny Cui,""Nanny, bengong telling you all this isn't to make you afraid, but to let you know that in this palace, you have the highest position. Also, in the eyes of everyone, with a prince by your side, bengong's life and death are tightly held in the hands of that cold-blooded person who doesn't care about blood relations for the sake of the stability of the Qing Dynasty."
Nanny Cui felt the warmth on her hand. She remembered that her master was not as happy as others when she was pregnant. After the eighth princess was born, her temperament changed. She was not as cold to the fourth prince as before. It should be because she knew about this matter. She held Xianying's hand tightly. Nanny Cui was heartbroken and did not know what to say. After all, she was a child who had grown up. The children in the family were not often seen, so they did not spend much effort on Xianying. She thought of the weak eighth princess. Granny Cui didn't know what to do.
Looking up at the Fourth Brother on the bed, Granny Cui suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said,"" Master, the Emperor and you are, after all, blood related cousins. Even if he treats you like this because of the stability of the country, if you flatter him and promise not to let the Fourth Prince fight for the throne, I believe that on account of Empress Xiao Kangzhang, the Emperor can still put the Fourth Prince under your name even if he can't let you have any more children."
Hearing Granny Cui's words, Xianying felt a little disapproving. If Kangxi was really that easy to please, then why would the Tong Jia's love for him in history end up like that?
Although she said that, if she wanted to stay in the palace safely, it was necessary to curry favor with Kang Xi. However, Xianying did not want to let Nanny Cui know how to do it. After all, she could not do such a lowly thing. If she wanted to leave a little impression in his eyes, she could only rely on the history he knew to make an issue.
Xianying didn't want to talk too much about this issue, so she didn't continue the conversation. She put her hand on her forehead and leaned against the bed with a tired face.
Nanny Cui lowered her head and did not see any response from her master. She raised her head slightly and saw her master's expression. She knew that she would not be able to get a definite answer today. However, when she saw her expression, she suddenly remembered that she had left the back hall today. She hurriedly went forward and asked with a nervous expression," Mistress, where are you feeling unwell? You really should give those little hooligans guarding outside a few beatings. I wonder if you'll suffer from any side effects once you go out. This servant should quickly help you get the imperial physician to come over and take a look."
Nanny Cui turned around and was about to give orders to the palace maids outside the inner room when Xianying reached out her hand to stop her and said,"There is no need for Momo to call the Imperial Physician. BenGong is just a little tired from coaxing Eighth Gege today, so it will be fine after a rest.”Seeing that her master insisted, Granny Cui could only bow and leave the inner room.
As soon as he left the room, Xianying's tired expression disappeared. She heard Nanny Cui whispering to the palace maids guarding outside to be careful. Xianying turned over and gently tapped Little Yinzhen's nose. Her pink lips moved close to his pink ear and whispered,"If you're not asleep, open your eyes!"
