Chapter 453 I Won’t Follow You Anyway
"Anyway, you won't follow me," Kangxi got angry when he heard that Xiaojiu had earned 600,000 yuan. Among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants had the lowest status. Even the royal family could not compete with the common people for profit. But Xiaojiu was different. Even the wife he married to Xiaojiu was devoted to business!
It really proves the old saying that people from the same family stick together!
"Rewards for Concubine Xiao Jiu?" Kangxi felt that he didn't need to think about it. "Give her more rewards and give her shop an imperial gift. The more the better for her. She might even ask for more such calculations!"
Concubine Yi laughed out loud, and really didn't want to continue with the emperor, but this was indeed something Wen Yao could do. Wen Yao deserved to be liked by Xiao Jiu, these two had such a good temper!
"I don't want to talk anymore. These two kids are really..." Concubine Yi's face returned to her usual smile, but now it was filled with some helplessness and doting. "Speaking of Wen Yao, I really admire her. This time, Xiao Jiu's birthday party invited many ancestors from the royal family and aristocratic families, and I don't even have much contact with them."
Kangxi smiled, "No one can match Little Nine's wife in this regard. Many of those people are from Khorchin," Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi, "That should be Yinqi's connections, that is, he can be on good terms with Old Five's wife, but those old ancestors have been uninvitable over the years. I asked someone to check and found that Little Nine's wife first gave birthday gifts to the younger generation, and then she had more interactions with the other wives in bag shops and other stores."
Kangxi's eyes were also somewhat complicated. "Concubine Yi, do you know that Xiao Jiufujin has never stopped exchanging letters with the Queen Mother these days?" Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi, "The reason why those ancestors can come is very important."
Kangxi even dared to say that those people had already favored Concubine Xiaojiu, and Yinqi was not very important in their hearts, because in many ways, Yinqi did not benefit much from the Khorchin behind them, and could even do harm.
Although this was what Kangxi wanted to see, it would be best if the relationship between Korchin and Yinqi broke off, but when it really happened, he felt a little aggrieved, with a grudge in his heart that he couldn't get out or swallow.
"This... Wen Yao gave gifts to others?" Concubine Yi felt that ordinary people could not do this, after all, their respective identities were there.
"What? Do you feel ashamed?" Kangxi knew what Concubine Yi meant as soon as he saw her expression. Kangxi smiled and said, "Don't say that Old Fifth Concubine is not as good as Little Ninth Concubine. You are not as good as Concubine Yi either. What's wrong with sending her birthday gifts and festival gifts? You don't go to those who are more distantly related, but she has been married into the royal family for half a year, and you are already getting to know her!"
"The quality of the relationship has nothing to do with distance. If they visit each other frequently, they can become brothers. If they don't visit each other, no matter how close they are, they are just strangers." Kangxi was a little jealous of Wen Yao. It would be great if his sons had such ability. Although he would be a little wary, it would be better than having a daughter-in-law!
This daughter-in-law is really strong in social skills, and many members of the royal family are planning to cooperate in opening shops, and even go to the Jiangnan area.
Kangxi really didn't want to admit it. If this continued, in the eyes of those ancestors, he, the emperor, would have less say than Concubine Xiaojiu.
Having said that, it’s a good thing that such a person is Mrs. Xiaojiu, otherwise he would not be at ease.
"Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me. You know my temper. I really can't do it. I won't accept a cold reception. I have been a concubine for so many years, how can I take the initiative to bow my head to others?" Concubine Yi was happy in her heart, but she was a little worried, afraid that the emperor would think too much. But judging from the emperor's expression, he didn't seem to mind. Moreover, Xiaojiu and Wen Yao have always been focused on business and are not interested in other things!
In her heart, Concubine Yi felt that doing business was a perfect path for Xiaojiu!
Otherwise she would be terrified every day.
"The reason why Xiao Jiu Fu Jin is envied is not just because she is favored by Xiao Jiu, she is also very smart," Kangxi comforted Concubine Yi, and took a big sip from the teacup. "After Yinzhen's birthday, I will give compensation to Xiao Jiu Fu Jin and Lao Wu Fu Jin, but there is one thing."
Kangxi's face turned cold for the first time, and his eyes were so deep that people couldn't see clearly. "Concubine Yi, I don't want to hear another word from the Fifth Lady about the death of a concubine's son or daughter. This time... let it go."
Concubine Yi stood up and knelt down, lowering her head. She spoke in a firm voice without any hesitation, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely supervise the Fifth Lady and will never let her take action against the backyard again. However, if there is anyone in the backyard who does not know respect for others like Liu Jiashi, I will take action directly."
Kangxi raised his hand and said, "Stand up. I trust you. In the past, the Queen Mother was in the palace, so you couldn't interfere with Old Five's inner courtyard. Now that the Queen Mother is not here, Old Five's place... is not as quiet as Little Nine's. You should keep an eye on it."
"Your Majesty is right. In the past, I didn't dare to say much, for fear of making the Empress Dowager and Yinqi suspicious. Now, if I leave it alone, I'm still worried. In the end..." Concubine Yi had a sad face. She was also worried about Yinqi, but in the end, it was useless to be worried, so she let it go. The resentment and grievances in her heart were all in the past!
Now, Concubine Yi felt helpless and distressed after seeing what happened. Only after the Empress Dowager left did she dare to teach the Fifth Lady and say a few more words to Yinqi. But in front of Yinqi, it was impossible for Concubine Yi to scold him the same way she scolded Yinzhen!
As I said, without Yinqi around, Concubine Yi became estranged from him!
It’s a relative but not like a relative.
Concubine Yi thought of Li Jia's side, narrowed her eyes, quickly glanced at them, then sighed and looked at Kangxi, "I'm sorry to trouble the emperor."
Kangxi glanced at Concubine Yi and said, "I know you blame me in your heart for giving Yinqi this marriage, but even if the situation happens again, I will still do the same." Korchin had suppressed it with great difficulty, and he would never give them any chance again!
It was the Grand Empress Dowager who handed Yinqi over to the Empress Dowager for upbringing. He could not refute it, and could even say that without Yinqi, there could be any other prince, but it had to be a living prince!
Concubine Yi did not go to Kangxi. She could not help but feel resentful, but she knew the reason very well. Everything seemed to be correct, but they, mother and son, were not innocent. What had they done wrong?
"Your Majesty, I don't blame you. It is the best thing for me that Yinqi is able to survive. The grievances he will suffer in the future are all the ups and downs of his life. Hasn't your past experiences been more bitter than his? Your Majesty is not dwelling on the past," Concubine Yi looked back at Kangxi. This was also what she thought in her heart. She really admired the emperor for this!
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly, and looked into each other's eyes. "Why dwell on what has already happened when you can't change it? Why dwell on what if? What you should think about and do is what to do after it happens."
