Chapter 258: Really Easy to Fool
"Oh, I see. You should respect me, the Ninth Lady, and you don't need to respect your mother, the Concubine Yi. Okay, I get it. If you have any grievances, just tell me. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain when you go back. I'm reminding you because of your attitude towards me. We are all family here. It doesn't matter what you say. Don't worry, I'm here for you," Wen Yao said nonsense seriously.
Kangxi and his four sons outside: ...
Yinqi felt that no one should be so stupid. He should really listen to his ninth brother’s wife!
This is the common voice of the four fathers and sons outside, but they ignore the fact that some people do not view the world using logic that ordinary people can understand!
Madam Guo Luoluo originally took a fancy to Qi Jia because she heard that Qi Jia dared to criticize even the emperor in private. Such a brainless person is just right to be the eldest daughter-in-law of her husband's favorite illegitimate eldest son. This eldest daughter-in-law would rather die than yield!
What a nice person!
Mrs. Guo Luoluo seemed to be deaf and dumb at this moment. She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground quietly, as if there was something interesting on the ground.
"Thank you for your grace, Ninth Lady! I will certainly speak frankly," Qi Jia actually knelt down to salute.
[Oh my god, how did Qi Jia's father and mother teach this child? He knelt down for himself, but he didn't kneel down for his mother just now. Although there is no such thing as kneeling in later generations, since he is here, he must abide by the rules here. I know all this, but she actually... Oh my, Madam Guo Luoluo's method is quite powerful! At that time, my mother said that having a virtuous wife in the family is the happiness of the family and even the whole clan! ]
Wen Yao probably guessed that Qi Jia would believe it, but she didn't expect her to be so polite. She somewhat understood why those in higher positions disliked those who didn't know etiquette.
Being straightforward is straightforward, but being rude is rude, because sometimes it is too eye-catching!
"You don't have to be polite when we're family," Wen Yao raised her hand lightly, "Hurry up, we're all family, why are you kneeling down? Isn't that too formal?"
Kangxi, who was listening outside, felt that he should learn from this little ninth concubine. Look at her temper, and see how she was so sincere when she was trying to trick people.
Yinqi's eyes widened, a little shocked inside. Sometimes there is no need to show anger. The better the attitude, the better the effect!
Maybe I thought my cold attitude could achieve the desired effect, but it seems... it didn't at all!
Yinqi was thinking a lot in his mind, and he continued to listen carefully, secretly looking inside from the cave.
Inside the palace, Qi Jia seemed to have found a backer. "Ninth Lady, it's like this. My husband and I, as well as all of your brothers, are the brothers of Concubine Yi. How can Concubine Yi let your uncle's brothers get ahead this time? How can this benefit outsiders? After all, this cement business can benefit the country and the people."
"What else?" Wen Yao looked at Qi Jiashi, "Looking at you like this, I can feel how wronged you are. It's okay, I'm here!"
Concubine Yi was somewhat helpless. She asked Wen Yao to stop talking, but the child still couldn't bear it. However, Concubine Yi felt very warm in her heart. Many people thought that she was partial to her youngest daughter-in-law, but who knew that a lot of her comfort came from this young daughter-in-law who had only been in the palace for a few months?
[Oh, this guy can fool people into doing a lot of things. This child is good. Mrs. Guo Luoluo really chose a good daughter-in-law! ]
Kangxi: ...If there are a few more, Sanguanbao will be killed by himself!
Kangxi didn't want Qi Jia to continue speaking. That was enough. Sometimes one should know how to save face for one's subjects and stop at the right time.
But sometimes the minister’s family doesn’t want to keep him!
"I never knew that the positions of ministers in the Qing Dynasty did not need to be decided by me," Kangxi walked straight in.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed." Concubine Yi knelt down and saluted.
Everyone in the hall saluted, and Kangxi did not let anyone stand up. Yinzhen, Yinzhen and the fifth prince followed in.
Wen Yao quietly looked up and smiled at Yinzhen. Yinzhen wanted to go forward and help her up, but Wen Yao shook her head at him, and Yinzhen withdrew his hand.
Kangxi saw it all and looked at his own Xiaojiu several times. He wanted to say something, but finally remained silent and decided to ignore his annoying son!
If it weren't for the fact that this Little Ninth Lady was capable, based on her previous temper, she would definitely have given away four or five princesses!
Now, fortunately, my son is my biological son!
Otherwise he wanted to replace his son!
"Concubine Yi, what happened? Why did I hear someone say that the task of cement should be given to their family? Someone actually made the decision beyond my control?" Kangxi glanced at Madam Guo Luoluo and her eldest daughter-in-law Qi Jia who were kneeling on the ground, and spoke slowly.
"In reply to Your Majesty, it is my family that has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. My father is not my biological father, and we have been deceiving Your Majesty all along. I have only just learned about this," Concubine Yi sighed and spoke with a look of grievance and uneasiness.
Mrs. Guo Luoluo hadn't spoken yet, and Qi Jia was stunned. "No! No!"
"How dare you! The emperor didn't even let you speak, yet you are so rude!" Wei Zhu, who was standing next to Kangxi, suddenly shouted angrily.
"My Lord has learned a lot from the upbringing of the Qijia clan. Perhaps this is the upbringing of Guo Luoma who favors his concubine over his wife," Yinzhen chuckled. "Qian Bao, go ask the clan leader of the Qijia clan how he teaches the girls in his family. Do you have any ulterior motives by arranging the etiquette in this way and disrespecting the Emperor?"
Yinqi looked at Qi Jiashi, "Do you dare to look the emperor in the face? Will the Three Officials teach you?"
Wen Yao's eyes rolled. How dare Yinqi call Sanguanbao by his name?
Wen Yao thought of one thing. The ministers in the court would not talk about Yinqi's upbringing. After all, he was raised by the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager. The ministers in the court were not so brainless. Some people could be criticized, but it would be useless even if some people said it, and it would only cause trouble!
"I just don't understand who gave you the confidence to question my mother. Since Sanguan Bao has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, Father Royal, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough investigation to prevent others from following suit. This will serve as a warning to others!" Yinqi lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Jia who was slumped on the ground, "Shut her mouth!"
Qi Jia wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't speak at this moment. She could only look up at Wen Yao for help. Wen Yao looked innocent and said, "You forced my mother, and you still want me to support you. How shameless!"
Qi Jia's face was full of disbelief. She knew she had been fooled. What she had said had put her mother's family and the Guo Luoluo clan into trouble!
At this time, she also heard her mother-in-law, Madam Guo Luoluo, confess her guilt. "I know my guilt. My husband asked me to question why Concubine Yi gave the task of cement to her eldest brother San Jinbao's son, and why she didn't let the illegitimate son of the family get involved. She accused Concubine Yi and the two princes of being ungrateful and ungrateful. She said that I gave birth to a bastard and harmed the mother and son of Concubine Guo Luoluo."
