I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 93 Returning to the Palace

Old Nine was so angry that he stood up the instant he saw Old Ten snickering on the side, and kicked him directly. However, Old Ten had anticipated his brother's move by looking at his angry face, and he rolled to the side very quickly, and Old Nine's kick missed!

Lao Jiu wanted to kick him again, but Lao Ba suddenly said, "Okay, Lao Jiu, isn't it just a prescription? Why are you so angry? Did you make the medicine for me? But next time you see Yan'er, ask him yourself. Yan'er is not a stingy person. For my sake, he will give you the prescription!"

When Lao Jiu heard what his brother said, he looked at him with complicated eyes. He naturally understood the hidden meaning in his brother's words, but Lao Jiu just didn't think highly of it! Lao Jiu and the others didn't want to bring up this topic, so Lao Jiu didn't respond. He just sat down in frustration, and then continued to focus on the barbecue!

Later on, along the way, Lao Jiu and the others intentionally or unintentionally did not mention Yunyan, because they just hoped that Lao Ban could forget Yunyan and this past as soon as possible. Unfortunately, things turned out to be beyond their expectations!

The fourth brother and his companions hurriedly returned to the capital. The eighth brother, regardless of his fatigue, followed the fourth brother and his companions back to the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, someone informed Kangxi. In a good mood, Kangxi ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to let the eighth brother and his companions wash up first before coming to see him. He even called the prince and his companions!

Because Lao Ba was missing this time, Kangxi's father-son relationship was aroused. So when he saw Laba kneeling in front of her, he said excitedly, "He's back, he's back. That's great. Get up quickly, Liang Jiugong, you blind man, why don't you help Lao Ba up!"

When Liang Jiugong heard his master's order, he hurried forward to help Lao Ba. Lao Ba also looked very grateful and said excitedly: "Father, these are all Yinsi's. I'm sorry to make you worry!"

The fourth, ninth, and tenth brothers stood up by themselves. They didn't expect Liang Jiugong to help them up. Although Liang Jiugong was just a eunuch, he was also his father's confidant. Without his father's order, Liang Jiugong, an old fox, would never do anything. If he didn't have this little self-knowledge, how could he have stayed by their father's side for so many years? And he became his confidant!

Kangxi was also quite excited when he saw his son's excitement. He stood up, walked to his son, patted Lao Ba on the shoulder, and said with a sigh: "It's good that you are back. I am relieved to see that you are okay! This trip to Jiangnan is also an experience. Fortunately, Lao Ba, you are okay, otherwise, I would have skinned them alive!"

Lao Ba just smiled shyly and did not take his royal father's words to heart. Lao Ba always knew that he should just listen to his royal father's words and not take them to heart. If he took them to heart, he would lose!

"Father Emperor, this trip to Jiangnan was extremely dangerous. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back!"

The Crown Prince and the eldest prince who were standing aside were quite angry at first, but when they heard what the Eighth Prince said, they thought that it was just as the Eighth Prince said. If it weren't for the Eighth Prince's good luck, he might not be able to come back this time. So they didn't care about the scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety in front of them. They pretended to be reborn from a calamity, as if they were the ones who had experienced a life-and-death experience. They were so pretentious!

Lao Ba, who was standing in the center, saw it all. He became more and more tired of the life in the palace and missed the peaceful life in Xinghua Village more and more. In fact, what Lao Ba missed was not the peaceful life in Xinghua Village, but the days when Yunyan was with him. It had only been a dozen days since she left, but Lao Ba already missed Yunyan very much!

After some evasiveness, they finally got to the main business of the day. Kangxi sat back in his seat and said cheerfully, "Prince, this time, the Eighth Brother suffered a lot. Tell me, how should we reward him?"

Kangxi's words made everyone's heart rise, except for the fourth brother, who lowered his eyes, not letting anyone see the look in his eyes. He was always worried in his heart, hoping that the eighth brother could be as smart as usual and not make any mistakes! Unfortunately, some things will come true as you fear!

The eldest prince and the crown prince were both worried, especially the crown prince. It was really difficult for him to grasp the right balance. It was really difficult to get this reward. It couldn't be too light, nor too heavy. The crown prince knew that if it was too heavy, his royal father would definitely be uncomfortable and might even have opinions about him. If it was too heavy, it would be disadvantageous to him. You know, his father was on the eldest prince's side, and the eldest prince had always been against him!

The prince pretended to be relaxed, smiled, looked at the eighth brother, and then looked at Kangxi. The prince, who had originally wanted to treat him with care, looked at his royal father's deep expression, and his heart tightened. He knew that all his thoughts were seen clearly by his royal father. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and kept complaining that his royal father was too unfair. He knew that his royal father was not on good terms with the eighth brother, but still forced him to speak. Wasn't this making things difficult for him?

The prince smiled faintly and said in a gentle manner, "Father, you have really got me thinking! I really don't know what to do for the moment, but since my eighth brother is almost not coming back, how about upgrading his title?"

The prince's heart was bleeding when he said this. He had personally handed the power to the boss! When the boss heard the prince's words, he rarely raised any objections. After all, for him, this was a good thing. You know, the eighth brother had been raised by his mother and concubine, and was born to be on his side!

The eldest brother laughed heartily and said, "Haha..., Father Emperor, I think the prince's idea is indeed a good one. If it weren't for the eighth brother, who knows how much money those corrupt officials in Jiangnan would have embezzled!"

Lao Ba lowered his head, standing in the middle, quietly listening to the back and forth, smokeless disputes, feeling very annoyed. He had guessed this scene since he planned to come back!
