Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 8 Greetings in Progress

Kangxi's eyelids twitched. Before, Kangxi thought of sending someone to investigate after paying his respects, otherwise he would alert the enemy and then slowly find out the details of Xiaojiu Fujin. But now... he felt that it would be the same as Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, a case of meat wrapped in iron, and a copper skewer rope bed for many nights of sleep.

She would definitely get along well with Xiao Shi, but he hoped that they wouldn't get along too well.

They get along well, but others are the ones who don't, especially... me!

Kangxi continued to walk forward, his stride remained the same but his speed changed. Yinzhen followed closely, and he cried and complained. Finally, when they were close to the Cining Palace, Kangxi stopped and looked at Yinzhen sideways. "As far as I know, you have been earning money since you were eight years old. In the past, the Guoluoluo family helped you. Now you have your own shops and you can't count them with both hands. Do you need my money?"

"Father Royal, how much silver did my tenth brother originally have on hand, plus what you, Madam Royal, and the Nianhulu clan gave him, doesn't my tenth brother also have no money and has been keeping an eye on his son?" Yinzhen decisively used his good brother as an example. This is a real example.

"I know how he spends his money, but what about yours?" Kangxi looked at Yin'e. Yin'e had been cheated a lot, but it was up to Yin'e to discover these things himself. As for Yin'e, Kangxi had a puzzled look in his eyes. He glanced at Wen Yao, who had always been very well-behaved, and it really proved the ancient saying: You can know a person's face but not his heart.

If he could not hear what Concubine Xiaojiu was thinking, he would not have known that Concubine Xiaojiu, who was so well-behaved and virtuous, was actually comparable to Concubine Xiaoshi.

Yinzhen was dejected. As expected, except for his tenth brother, few people could get money from the emperor. Even the crown prince received rewards, not money!

Wen Yao looked at the dejected Yinzhen, and followed Kangxi side by side as they walked into the Cining Palace. She nudged Yinzhen with her elbow and said, "Hold your head high and stride forward. You're feeling down just after your wedding. What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with your wife?"

Yinzhen was about to refute, but he glanced around and kept silent. That's not right!

Yinzhen wanted to say something, but he had already entered. The seat at the top of the hall was the Crown Father’s mother, and below were... the Crown Father’s concubines, including his mother!

Concubine Yi's face darkened. She had been paying attention to her son from the beginning, so she couldn't just pay her respects honestly. Looking at how well-behaved Dong E was, and then looking at her own son, Concubine Yi didn't want to even look at him any more. The Empress Dowager hadn't spoken yet, so it was inappropriate for her to speak directly, after all, the Emperor had just paid his respects to the Empress Dowager.

"Madam, Xiaojiu is here to pay his respects to you," Yinzhen said, totally breaking the rules of greetings and leaving when Wen Yao was shocked. "Madam, Xiaojiu wishes you a long life and a good appetite every day. Madam, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

[You want to kill me? How can I ask for help? Yin'er, you naughty boy, don't you care about your wife's life or death? Do I have to act like a spoiled child too? ] Wen Yao smiled stiffly, then resolutely put the embarrassment behind her and completely forgot about her last name Dong E.

She took a step forward and said, "Imperial Madam, your granddaughter Wen Yao greets you. In the past, I looked at you from afar in admiration, but now that I am your granddaughter-in-law, I feel very close to you. I even want to lie on your lap and complain about Master Jiu." She smiled gently, naturally and gently, "Long live the Imperial Madam."

"Hurry up and get up. You two are a perfect match. You are both so quirky," said the Queen Mother Borjigit. She was elegant and noble. The wrinkles on her face seemed to have been baptized by the years, stained with the calmness of the years in the palace, with its unique charm. The grudges and hatreds of her youth had long become precious memories when the familiar people passed away one by one. At this moment, the Queen Mother's face was kind and gentle. "Xiao Jiu Fu Jin, did Xiao Jiu bully you? Tell the Royal Madam, the Royal Madam will take care of it for you."

Concubine Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that the Empress Dowager did not hate the Dong'e clan as much as everyone imagined, and that Concubine Xiaojiu was also recommended to the Emperor by the Empress Dowager, she was still worried. But now she was relieved.

Yinzhen's eyes widened, one hand stroking his chest, with a look of grievance. He looked at Wen Yao, then at Kangxi, and then at the Empress Dowager, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, my grandson is so well-behaved, how could he bully Fu Jin?"

"The Royal Mother can't see you now, haha... Come, Wen Yao, tell the Royal Mother quickly. We haven't heard about Xiaojiu's embarrassing things in a long time," the Queen Mother's smile deepened, her eyes seemed to be seeing something through Wen Yao, but finally she returned to silence. The past was like smoke and had long passed by.

Who knows, she never hated Dong E, that was just an excuse for other families to suppress Dong E!

The harem has experienced ups and downs, just like the previous dynasty. Love and affection have always been a luxury in the royal family. Perhaps...

The Queen Mother came back to her senses from her recollection, which lasted only a moment. She turned her head and looked at Kangxi beside her, "Your Majesty has chosen a good wife for Xiao Jiu. Your Majesty has good taste."

"Xiaojiu has caused the Empress Dowager a lot of trouble. Xiaojiu and his wife should thank the Empress Dowager," Kangxi looked up at Wen Yao, "The Empress Dowager and I will take care of you. What did Xiaojiu do?"

Imperial Concubine Tong Jia, along with Concubine Hui, Concubine De, and Concubine Rong, all looked at Concubine Yi at the same time. Concubine Yi had a calm expression. Just by the funny gesture she had made with Yinzhen to resolve the awkwardness, she knew that this daughter-in-law of theirs could not be really complaining!

So in the face of the looks from her old rivals, Concubine Yi remained calm and even smiled back.

"To answer your question, Father and Madam, my master woke up at around 3 o'clock in the west at the end of the first hour, and has been muttering in my ear, saying that he often made Father and mother angry in the past, and made Madam work hard to plead for him. If he doesn't get married, he won't know what it was like. Now Wen Yao still feels a buzzing in her ears," Wen Yao began to complain with a look of grievance.

[Just now I saw the concubines gloating over the misfortune. Did they really think that I was really complaining about Yinzhen in front of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager? Are you stupid or am I? Look at the Imperial Concubine and the Four Concubines. They are so calm. Their eyes didn't change at all. This is why you can't become concubines!] Wen Yao complained about the concubines of Kangxi who were gloating over the misfortune just now. They were probably all below the rank of concubines because they were all standing.

Kangxi's expression remained the same. Yin'er, who was sitting beside Wen Yao, had his eyelids twitching. He glanced at his own royal father. He had no idea what his royal father was thinking, nor could he tell from his facial expression. Fortunately, his own wife did not really complain!

"Empress Dowager~ She bullied your little nine, you have to stand up for your grandson~" Yinzhen walked forward quickly, knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's legs, raised his head, and spoke to the Empress Dowager in a wronged and coquettish manner.

If other princes were of this age, except for the tenth prince Yin'e, other princes would not be able to do this. However, Yin'er and Yin'e could definitely do it. One of them is chubby and very cute, and the other is fair and tender. When they act coquettishly, they have a charm that even girls cannot match.

It’s impossible to get angry, it just makes you feel… high!
