Chapter 289 Mother Enters the Palace
Chapter 289 Mother Enters the Palace
"Afraid! But Wen Yao told me the day she entered the palace that I must not lie to the Emperor, my mother, and the Ninth Master. Even if Wen Yao dies in the future, she will have a clear conscience," Wen Yao's voice was sonorous and powerful, without any guilt at all.
Concubine Yi had already knelt down, but Kangxi did not let her stand up. Kangxi looked at Wen Yao and said, "Do you know that if any of the court officials heard what you said, the entire morning court tomorrow would be full of complaints against you, no matter how great your contributions are."
"Wen Yao knows, but there are only the Emperor and Mother here. Wen Yao would not be so bold to speak in front of outsiders." Wen Yao would not really speak without considering anything.
Concubine Yi's heart was beating fast, but when she saw Kangxi helping her up, she knew that the emperor did not blame Wen Yao, and she was relieved. No! I have to talk to Wen Yao later. There are some things that cannot be said in front of the emperor, otherwise something bad will happen!
But Concubine Yi didn't know that the difference between Wen Yao and her was that Wen Yao had been exposed to Kangxi before, so she had to expose it completely instead of hiding it.
"Don't say such things in the future, otherwise I can't save you," Kangxi was not angry. He didn't look down on women. After all, he was trained by the Royal Mother!
The Royal Law, the Royal Father, and even the court officials imposed great restrictions on the Royal Mother to prevent her from following the path of Empress Lu or Empress Wu Zetian. But even so, the Royal Mother was in power for many years!
He was well aware of the Royal Madam's abilities.
There were even quite a few concubines, princesses, and clan wives. Kangxi knew that there were many capable women who were just restrained.
He knew it, but he had always believed that men were the only ones who could rule the court.
"Not in front of outsiders, but I won't lie in front of the Emperor. I swore!" Wen Yao added the last sentence, and her heart was at peace. The Emperor's bottom line...
It has been lowered again!
Not bad!
very good!
Kangxi took a deep look at Wen Yao and shook his head slightly, "You are indeed Xiaojiu's wife. You are as stubborn as Xiaojiu. Do you know that there are times when I can't save you?"
Although he was the emperor, he could not do whatever he wanted and save anyone, just like Xu Qianxue and Gao Shiqi, the two ministers who worked for him!
Those two guys made a mistake and were caught by Sun Jiagan, who couldn't turn around!
Wen Yao knew that Kangxi had passed this test again, and also knew that Kangxi's bottom line had dropped a little bit. Wen Yao was in a good mood now, "Remember the emperor's reminder."
"Hehe~ He has the same temper as Xiaojiu, trying to hit the snake with a stick!" Kangxi was a little helpless. He had seen this temperament in Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi. It was really impossible for them to get along well because of their different temperaments!
Concubine Yi was helpless. She glared at Wen Yao and then looked at Kangxi, "Your Majesty, you should punish her severely. Let's see if she is so bold again in the future. When that happens, even you, the emperor, can't protect her. What should we do?"
"This girl is very smart," Kangxi didn't care much. What he said just now was just to scare her. None of the troubles caused by Concubine Xiaojiu were her own fault.
Kangxi patted Concubine Yi's hand to reassure her, and then said, "I have not yet decided on the treatment of Sanguanbao, but I can tell you that Kejing has sent a letter and has not dealt with Sanguanbao."
Concubine Yi had some guesses in her mind, "I have some guesses. Sister did not hide what happened when she first entered the palace, and I did not hide it either. Kejing knows everything."
Kangxi watched Concubine Yi lost in her memories without interrupting her or saying anything.
Wen Yao looked at Kangxi and then at Concubine Yi without saying anything. Instead, she stood up and quietly prepared to leave. After standing up, she pointed in front of Kangxi. After seeing Kangxi nod, Wen Yao left quickly.
After Wen Yao left Yikun Palace, she staggered and glanced at Little Seventeen before returning to the prince's residence.
After lying on the recliner for a while, Xiaochun brought over a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice. The ingredients in it were colorful, even more than the rice, especially the sausage that Wen Yao liked.
Wen Yao opened her mouth, and Xiao Xia beside her fed her mouthful by mouthful, "This life is beautiful!"
Wen Yao kept her mouth shut. When she was thirsty, someone came to feed her water. There were also people beside her to serve her meals. This life... was so blissful that she didn't want to leave!
[What a pity, I didn’t get to eat the right melon. I didn’t expect that the Emperor hasn’t made a decision yet. Oh~ No, the Emperor has been a bit slack lately.] Wen Yao decided to search for other melons, otherwise life would be too boring.
But before she had time to search, she heard someone visiting. Wen Yao then remembered that her mother would enter the palace after noon today!
Wen Yao held her forehead with her hand. She had forgotten about it. After all, she often left the palace and returned to her parents' home secretly. This was also her own exception. As for what others said, Wen Yao didn't care much!
"Mother~" Wen Yao immediately ran back and hugged Jueluo. Jueluo couldn't even bow even if she wanted to. "Mother, there's no need to bow. Come on, let's go in and rest. Where are the eldest and second sisters-in-law? Why didn't they come?"
After entering the house, Jueluo still politely bowed, then stood up, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, you, why are you still like this?" After sitting down, she looked at Wen Yao beside her and continued, "Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are both pregnant, and mother did not let them enter the palace. Mother heard some things outside and is a little worried about you."
"My eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are pregnant! That's great. We will have little nephews and nieces to hold. It would be best if they are soft little nieces," Wen Yao leaned on Jueluo, "Mother, I will prepare some things for you to bring to my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law!"
"Okay, but don't give too much. Mother can't take it. If you want to send it, you can do it yourself," Jueluo looked at her daughter leaning on her and clasped her hands tightly. "Your family members are all here with your sisters-in-law. Mother, your father, your aunt, and your brothers, sisters-in-law, and brothers are all worried about you."
Wen Yao still didn't sit up straight, "Mother, what happened? Why are you so worried about me?"
"It's the matter of the Guoluo family. They all say that Concubine Yi is unfilial and that the daughter even sued her father. Now there are rumors that the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince are also involved. We are worried that you will be affected by these remarks." Jueluo was worried that her daughter would get angry, so she went into the palace to take a look.
Wen Yao sat up straight and looked into the eyes of Jueluo. "Mother, don't you know your daughter? She doesn't care about those things. As for the people who said those things, they all want to use her as tools."
Wen Yao paused, as if she knew what Kangxi was hesitating about. "Mother, don't worry about this matter, and don't let my family and the people in the clan care about those remarks. Don't get involved in anything. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I don't speak, no one in the family can interfere in anything. Tell the clan leader what I said."
