Chapter 32
"The wet nurse of the Crown Prince, Qin Shi."
Mingfei suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She should have thought of it long ago. This person must be extremely close to the prince, and the most likely candidate is Qin De.
Qin's nanny was famously loyal to the crown prince, and once when he almost got scalded, she hastily shielded him without hesitation. Whenever the crown prince showed some abnormality, she would rather annoy Kangxi than be indifferent. Later, Kangxi jokingly called her an extremely loyal person.
The Empress Dowager Qin was like a mother to the Crown Prince.
If it was indeed Qin Mama who had drugged Ming Fei, what should Ming Fei do? If she really followed the rules and punished Qin Mama, then her relationship with the prince would not only fail to improve but would definitely deteriorate. Qin Mama would forever be a thorn between them, hurting when pushed in and even more painful when pulled out.
If she is not punished, where is her prestige and dignity as a noble concubine?
The person behind this is really cunning, whether investigated or not, the one who ends up suffering a loss is always Ming Fei.
Mingfei sat silently on the couch, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures beside her, but her eyes were not focused on the book. After a while, she put the book back on the small table and gave a faint order: "Continue searching, you must find out who is behind this."
The crown prince was fine in front of Xiaozhuang, and Xiaozhuang smiled at him with a straight back, writing big characters.
Su Mo came in and whispered a few words in Xiaozhuang's ear.
Xiao Zhuang's hand, which had been twirling the Buddhist beads, stopped: "Still investigating?"
Yes
Xiao Zhuang turned her head and glanced at the young prince who was completely unaware of what was going on outside, let out a soft sigh: "Investigate then, if she wants to investigate, let her."
Kangxi indeed summoned Consort Cheng, Duan Yu, that night. Consort Cheng was not bad-looking and came from the Xianghuang Banner, so it wouldn't be long before Seventh Brother arrived either. The palace would become increasingly lively. (Seventh Brother has come, Eighth Brother won't be far behind?)
She was probably really bored, so she picked up a hoe and vigorously dug the soil in the space for a while, awkwardly planting some wheat seeds. She didn't have anything to keep Momo company either, so she caught a small wild cat that had just been born outside and put it inside. Unexpectedly, Momo's maternal instincts were strongly aroused, and she was extremely good to the little cat. When Mingfei came, she didn't even have time to greet her.
The little cat is a tabby, with a tiger-like head and two big round eyes that shine like small light bulbs. Minnie looks at it and it also looks at Minnie. The fur stands on end like a judge sitting in the middle. When Minnie tilts her head to one side, the kitten also tilts its head to one side. When Minnie leans to the left, it follows suit and leans to the left too.
The neglected Mao Mao discontentedly snorted twice.
Ming Fei playfully rubbed Mao Mao's head.
She lay on the grass, with Mao and a small cat crouched on either side of her. So many people didn't want her to have a good relationship with the prince, and the prince's side was probably still afraid that she would harm his young age. Who knew how to guard against such a naive prince?
He should have already investigated the whole thing, if she continues to investigate and still finds out about Qin's nanny, then Kangxi's attitude is very clear, he also doesn't want Mingfei to be too close to the crown prince.
Is it because he is afraid that the Tong and Heishi families will unite and threaten his position?
The crisis awareness of the emperors is always heavy. When the position of the crown prince one day hinders the emperor's power, everything about the crown prince must be dismantled and collapsed.
She's in no hurry, she has all the patience and time, and the one who will finally sit on the throne can only be her Abao.
On the day of Abao's first birthday party, the weather was also very nice, with a clear blue sky and not a cloud in sight. After Mingfei hadn't held Abao for three days, Abao seemed especially well-behaved. When Mingfei dressed him and asked him to put out his arms, he would put out his arms, when she asked him to stretch out his legs, he would stretch out his legs, and in the end, he even smiled at Mingfei to try to please her.
On his son's birthday, the son is the biggest. Ming Fei hurriedly kissed A Bao once, and A Bao unhesitatingly returned a kiss.
The crown prince came very positively and early, and before he even entered, he heard a voice: "Fourth brother?"
The crown prince and A Bao had always been on good terms, and A Bao responded with two loud "ahs" from inside. The crown prince outside was even more delighted, bouncing in with a jump, causing the palace staff behind him to exclaim in surprise.
Mingfei almost handed the prince over, patted his back: "In the future, you can't walk so carelessly, look at Qin's nanny being scared."
Mingfei had never spoken more than a word to Qin Yiniang and the others in front of the prince, so suddenly being treated with such familiarity made Qin Yiniang jump in surprise. She hastily curtsied: "Your servant greets Your Highness."
Ming Fei smiled faintly and shook her head: "You are the Crown Prince's confidant, no need to be so polite."
Qin's heart beat involuntarily faster. What is meant by the favored person beside the crown prince? The people beside the crown prince are also slaves, even if they are favored.
She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly felt a little weak in the legs, but looking at the still confused prince, she stiffened again for a moment, calmly saying: "The noble concubine is joking, I am just a slave, after all, I must not be rude."
Mingfei didn't say a word, but just nodded slightly with an ambiguous smile.
The young prince was also very sensitive, and after glancing at Qin Mama and then at Mingfei, he said to Mingfei: "Noble Consort, if Qin Mama has done something wrong, Noble Consort must be more tolerant. Mama will not be able to stay by my side for many days, I am waiting for her to teach me, and then she will leave."
Mingfei smiled lightly and said: "I know that the Crown Prince has a good relationship with Qin Mama, and Qin Mama is indeed very dedicated to serving the Crown Prince."
The little prince probably still felt that Ming Fei's words were not quite right, but he was immediately attracted by Ah Bao, who was dressed like a red boy: "Fourth brother looks really good today."
Mingfei walked alongside him, holding his hand and said: "If the prince likes it, I can have someone make one for the prince as well, what do you think?"
The young prince laughed: "Consort Gui is joking with me again. I'm a big kid now, and I won't dress like my fourth brother!"
A Bao saw the prince coming, and quickly got up to walk on the ground. The young prince immediately tensed up and said: "You all help Fourth Brother get up, if he gets hurt, I won't forgive you!"
Mei Fei smiled and said: "The prince is really a good brother!"
The little prince puffed out his small chest: "Taking care of younger brothers is what older brothers should do!"
Mingfei glanced over and saw a flicker of worry in Qin's eyes.
Before long, those who were supposed to arrive all arrived one after another. He Shili naturally was also among them. As soon as Minglan saw Abao, she pouted, but Abao didn't seem to remember her very well and clung tightly to the Crown Prince.
The prince looked at Minglan for a few moments: "You are the sister of the noble consort?"
"As for what Crown Prince said, I am indeed the younger sister of the noble consort."
The crown prince's words were stunning, and he didn't stop until he had looked at Minglan twice: "You're quite good-looking."
Mingfei and Hesheli were almost bursting out laughing, if they hadn't been mindful of their noblewoman image.
Xiao Minglan's face turned red with embarrassment as she looked at Mingfei and He Shu'er, pouting her mouth and speaking in a soft voice: "The prince is overpraising."
The crown prince nodded slightly with a mature and composed demeanor.
Mingfei was laughing so hard in her heart that she almost pounded the table, but on the surface, she could only smile lightly.
Just then, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang also arrived.
These two have arrived, and the capture of Zhou is about to begin.
On the long table were all sorts of things, and Ah Bao was placed on top. At first, he looked at Ming Fei in confusion, but Ming Fei smiled and said, "You can pick up whichever one you like, okay?"
Ah Bao's favorite word was "want". When he said "want", Ming Fei knew he understood what she meant.
Mingfei supported Abao as he walked around the table, while the prince watched anxiously and hastily pointed out: "Fourth brother, just grab that brush!"
It's unclear whether Ah Bao really understood or it was just a coincidence, but Ah Bao actually grabbed the brush that Crown Prince said.
Someone immediately said: "The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are indeed deeply affectionate brothers."
Someone said: "The fourth prince will have extraordinary writing skills in the future!"
Kangxi smiled and accepted one by one, but Mingfei just smiled and didn't say a word, hugging Abao into her arms.
Having finished their rounds of toasting, everyone headed towards the seats.
"Big brother, following behind Ming Fei, said: "Noble mother, you'd better not let fourth brother like Wen anymore, that's so boring. He hasn't even started school yet and doesn't know how dull it is to study. Let fourth brother learn horseback riding, archery, and leading troops into battle instead. I can still teach him in the future!"
Mingfei really wanted to reach out and touch the back of her big brother's head, how did this child grow up with such a honest and straightforward heart?
She repeatedly waved her hand towards Da Ge behind her: "In the future, don't dare to speak like this in a crowded place. If your imperial father hears it, you will be punished!"
The eldest prince nodded and said: "I, your son, have taken note of it."
Mingfei smiled and said softly, "To be a general, one must know the art of war. How can you not recognize characters or read books if you want to learn the art of war? If you want to read military books, you must study literature. If you can master both literature and martial arts, isn't that even more wonderful?"
The elder brother furrowed his brow and thought for a moment: "What the noble lady said seems to make sense."
Huifang followed behind, seeing Mingfei talking to the eldest prince, her anxious heart almost jumped out of her throat. Rongfang's eyes were fixed on the third prince who was following Kangxi from start to finish. Yifang had been busy these days, not only was her belly big, but also there was a sudden rise of Chengfang, and she still had to deal with Uya Guiren, one pair of eyes was almost not enough to use.
Wuya quietly followed behind the crowd, slightly holding her belly.
Mingfei never liked having pregnant women at her banquet, so she said a few words to the eldest brother and turned around to glance at the two pregnant women following behind. She then faced Xiaozhuang and said: "Ancestor, take a look, why not let Yihui and Wuya Guiren go down first? With so many people, it's easy to disturb the little princes in their bellies."
Xiang Zhuang smiled and patted Mingfei's hand: "You're naturally meticulous, it's time to let them go."
As she spoke, she turned around and instructed a few words to the palace maid beside her, and the maid went down with orders.
