Chapter 454 Social Phobia and Social Bull
Kangxi smiled, his eyes deep, "The children have little experience, don't blame Yinqi." His gaze shifted from looking outside to Concubine Yi's face, "Thank you for your hard work and pay more attention. If anything happens at the banquet today, let them go."
Concubine Yi smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, please spoil them. Fortunately, you are behind them, so Xiaojiu can be more unrestrained." After a pause, "I was reluctant to see Xiaojiu doing business because of the outside world's comments. I tried to stop her, but now I am extremely glad that I failed to stop her. Xiaojiu is not suitable for the court."
"His personality is indeed not suitable for the job and he cannot stand humiliation. But now he is focusing on the cement business. Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi are doing a good job," Kangxi recalled that in the court, every time the censor spoke, Yinzhen and Yin? The two boys almost rolled their eyes to the sky, and he almost couldn't hold back several times!
Also, when he was fighting with Fucha Maqi, these two guys just stood by and didn't help. But when they were around other princes, they would at least take sides!
Time slipped away inadvertently. Yinzhen and Wen Yao took a lot of good things from the prince's private storehouse and the princess's private storehouse. Under Wen Yao's whisper, Yinzhen shamelessly asked the prince for a lot of words. The store name nominated by the prince himself was the name of the store he wanted to open in the future.
In addition to some things in the Crown Princess's private vault, she also got a small mountain manor, which Wen Yao had heard about before. There was a hot spring there and hundreds of acres of fertile farmland nearby. Now that it was in her hands, Wen Yao wanted to enclose the area and build high walls. The hundred acres of fertile farmland inside could be built into a greenhouse with glass, so that she could eat all kinds of fresh vegetables all year round.
The recipe for glass, like the recipe for cement, was provided by Wen Yao, but Wen Yao only gave a rough idea. She didn't know what else needed to be added or how to make it!
These were all discovered bit by bit through experimentation by craftsmen and court officials. Cement has begun to be used in all areas, and as for glass, Wen Yao knew that it had already been researched. Naturally, these things would be used in the imperial palace at first.
After Wen Yao got the deed to the manor, she gave it to Madam Cui He and asked her to arrange someone to take over. Wen Yao went to the Imperial Garden under the protection of Xiao Xia and Madam Xu. The other concubines had already arrived a long time ago. Some were chatting with everyone, while others did not dare to say much.
A banquet can reveal a person's personality, whether he is outspoken, reserved, or at ease...
"Nineth Lady, well and well."
"Ninth Lady."
...
After Wen Yao greeted everyone one by one, she went to the place where several ancestors gathered, greeted them and sat down.
An old man dressed in the old lady's uniform opposite was old but his back was straight and his demeanor was vigorous. He was even more energetic than the younger concubines. He smiled and looked at Wen Yao and said, "The Ninth Concubine is pregnant six months after her wedding and can even ride a horse for many days. I broke out in a sweat when I heard this. The Ninth Concubine is really healthy."
"Hello, Madam Jian. Wen Yao was also shocked to tell you the truth. Master Jiu and I were thinking of having a legitimate child in two years. I heard from a traveling doctor that it is best for a girl to have a child when she is a little older, at the age of 18 or when her bones are fully grown. It is good for both the children and for myself. I even asked the imperial physician and he is sure about that. I didn't expect that I am pregnant now. It is a pleasant surprise," Wen Yao smiled and looked at the wife of Prince Jian, who spoke. The wife of Prince Jian Jidu, who is now the mother of Prince Jian Yabu.
Old Lady Jian Borjigit is now in her seventies and rarely appears at banquets. She has a very high status in the royal family. Her son, Prince Jian Yabu, not only fought against Galdan several times, but was also named the General of Anbei. Now he has retired and is in charge of the clan affairs office.
Behind Old Lady Jian are Prince Jian's wife, Borjigit, and Crown Prince Jian's wife, Guwaljia.
"Is there such a saying? I really didn't know that," said Old Lady Jian with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she looked at the wife of Prince Huishun Aisin-Gioro Husai, Borjigit, beside her.
Prince Huishun's wife was the grandmother of Prince Kangdao Chuntai, Old Lady Huishun. Although she was not yet seventy years old, she was almost there, and she had a close relationship with Old Lady Jian.
"I have never heard of this either, but when you and I were young, many of our family members who were a little older remarried," Old Lady Huishun replied with a smile, looking back at Wen Yao, "Ninth Lady's words do remind me."
Old Lady Huishun looked back at her granddaughter-in-law, Wusu, the wife of Prince Kangdao and Chuntai, and said, "So you don't have to rush. You can take advantage of these years to recuperate and give me a big fat grandson."
Wu Su's face flushed slightly, "Yes, I'll listen to grandma," and quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look around. She didn't expect that she would have to sit here with so many ancestors, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Wusu looked at the wife of Prince Jian's son, Guaerjia, and saw that Guaerjia had a solemn expression, sat upright, listened attentively, and occasionally picked up a dried fruit and put it in her mouth. She was quite elegant!
Wusu didn't dare to eat anything, but then she watched the Ninth Lady joking and chatting with everyone, and the old lady in the room laughed out loud from time to time, and Wusu was so impressed!
It was difficult for her to speak to these ancestors, not to mention that some of them were speaking Mongolian. After all, many of the ancestors here were from Khorchin, so it was normal for them to speak Mongolian from time to time or even communicate in Mongolian.
Wen Yao's eyes curved as she took a sip of yogurt. "I will write down everything you said today and send it to the Queen Mother."
"Oh?" Old Lady Jian had kind eyes and a smile on her face, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, "Wen Yao, are you still in touch with the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, when the Emperor sends something to the Empress Dowager, I always ask someone to tell her the interesting things that happened that day that I have written. Although the Empress Dowager is praying, it would be too boring if no one tells her interesting things, so I send some letters from time to time," Wen Yao never thought of hiding this matter, and there was nothing to hide. She showed it openly so that people would not think too much.
Then he sighed, "What a pity, the Royal Madam only occasionally replies with a few words, really just a few words, words are as precious as gold, fortunately I am smart!"
Wen Yao had a smug look on her face, "You may not know, I have thought of a way. I will add a sentence at the end of the letter and ask Aunt Yana beside her to write back to me." Wen Yao even laughed smugly.
"You are really clever," Old Lady Huishun smiled and shook her head, looking at Old Lady Jian beside her, "Old sister, you see, only she can come up with this idea."
“It’s all thanks to her that she can speak Mongolian and understand it, otherwise she wouldn’t understand Nanny Yana’s reply and would have to ask the Ninth Prince to translate it,” Old Lady Jian smiled and pointed in Wen Yao’s direction, the depth in her eyes slowly turning into a smile.
