Chapter 519: Yinzhen is looking for a fight
Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen's expression, smiled and said to ease the situation: "When the time comes, let Naibao take his brothers to the Qianqing Palace to find the Emperor. Naibao loves to play with his brothers," such as Honghui and Hongxi.
Yinzhen nodded and said, "This is the only way. After all, we can't prevent the emperor from seeing Naibao." But it's true... why does the emperor always cause trouble!
Wen Yao smiled and said nothing. After all, it is better to say less about Kangxi. The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, and that is not just talk.
There was a palace maid outside the door. Qiu Ling walked over and then walked in. "My queen, the Fifth Prince and the Fifth Lady are here."
"They are coming? Let them in quickly," Concubine Yi was a little surprised. Didn't they say they couldn't come?
Concubine Yi, Yinzhen, and Wen Yao looked at each other, all very curious about which child they were bringing. At the same time, they stared at the door and watched the two people walk in. There was no child in their arms or behind them.
"Your son/daughter-in-law pays respects to mother," the Fifth Prince and the Fifth Lady knelt down and saluted at the same time.
"Get up, didn't you say the child is sick? You can take care of him at home, and mother can come over in a few days," Concubine Yi looked at the Fifth Prince with a worried look on her face, "Is he feeling better now?"
The Fifth Prince's expression remained calm, and he spoke gently, "I'm sorry to have worried you, mother. They are fine. They just have a slight cold. I asked the nurse to take some medicine and feed them. The palace doctor said they are fine." Then he looked at Yinzhen, "Why don't you see the baby?"
"Just now, Grandpa was saying that Naibao was taken away by the Emperor. If Fifth Brother had come earlier, he would have seen him. This morning, Naibao said that he missed Fifth Uncle and Fifth Elder." Yinzhen felt bad when he thought about it and didn't want to say anything more on this topic. "Fifth Brother, you don't have to come today to pay respects to Mother. The nephews and nieces in the mansion are young, and their health is very important."
"Fifth brother knows, don't worry, it's okay," the Fifth Prince said this while glancing at his own wife who was silent beside him. He sighed in his heart, as what the Royal Madam had said before had all come true!
This time he really did not favor his concubine over his wife. He gave his wife all the treatment she deserved, and he spent almost one-third of every month in the main courtyard. He also supported his wife when any problems arose. Isn't that enough?
No! It was enough, and she wanted more. Every time he went to the princesses' courtyard, she was generous on the surface, but after a few days, she would definitely promote this princess to provoke attacks from other princesses, and she would just stand by and watch.
Yinqi was really tired when he was away, and he had to deal with these things when he returned. He talked to his wife about it, and she said that she treated everyone equally, so why couldn't he treat his concubines equally?
He was a little confused. What did it mean to treat her equally?
Aren't these concubines a relief for him? He naturally has likes and dislikes, favoring some more and some less, but he would never let them bully her, the wife!
It was she who gradually reduced his prestige. He reminded her and said everything he should have said, but she cried instead, crying about how Liu Jia had caused her to be unable to have children, etc.
Yinqi: ...
Could it be that she couldn't have children? Was he going to favor her alone?
Yinqi lowered his eyes with a look of fatigue on his face. It seemed that he should follow the advice of the Empress Dowager and not be so lenient anymore, otherwise his backyard would become more and more chaotic.
The Fifth Lady slowly spoke at this time: "Yesterday, the Second Prince excitedly told his daughter-in-law that he missed you, mother. It's a pity that he can't come today. I will bring him to see you another day."
"It's good that you have this intention," Concubine Yi nodded with a smile. As for what she was thinking in her heart, she would not reveal it at all. Concubine Yi looked at the Fifth Lady, Ruoxiang, you really haven't changed at all!
If she agreed now, and specifically told the Second Prince to come to Yikun Palace after she finished speaking, then when Ruoxiang returned, she would spread the word in the mansion starting tomorrow that she, the madam, valued the Second Prince more.
Concubine Yi didn't know what to say. She knew how to handle this matter, but she couldn't interfere too much with her own fifth son, otherwise their mother-son relationship would gradually become stiff and awkward!
Yinqi is not as tough as Xiaojiu. Even though she scolded Xiaojiu and Wen Yao, and even beat them and made them kneel, neither of them was angry or blamed her!
But it’s not the same for Yinqi. This kid is a little... too sensitive. He will care about any slight difference.
This was actually related to the fact that he was raised by the Queen Mother. When he first went to the study, he was the worst, and no one wanted to talk to him because he could only speak Mongolian.
Later, he gradually got better, but Concubine Yi discovered that although her own Yinqi seemed cheerful and gentle, he was actually the same as the Seventh Prince in his heart.
Concubine Yi smiled and took a sip of milk tea. She would not talk about Yinqi's backyard when Xiaojiu and Wenyao were around. "Oh, there is one more thing that mother forgot. Yinqi and Ruoxiang, the emperor mentioned a few days ago that he would select one or two girls from the concubines to enter the palace. I estimate that they will be princesses of the Manchu family."
The Fifth Lady was quite calm at first, but when she heard the name of the Manchu family, she regained her composure in a moment and looked at Concubine Yi with a smile, "Everything is up to the Emperor and Mother."
He raised his eyes to look at Wen Yao who was smiling opposite him, his eyes flashed slightly, "Is it so in Ninth Brother's mansion? But didn't Ninth Brother say that he needed to pay 600,000 taels of silver to enter the mansion?" He looked at Concubine Yi with confusion and asked.
Wen Yao also looked at Concubine Yi, "Don't worry, mother. If it is the emperor's suggestion, your daughter-in-law is happy to have beauties enter the mansion. After all, we are all old people, and it's a good opportunity for Master Jiu to change his taste."
Yinzhen stared at Wen Yao for a long while, gritting his teeth and said, "Who wants to change tastes? It's you who wants to change tastes, right? Look at the maids in the mansion now, who isn't pretty? You're still so picky. If the Emperor's father or mother gave someone to me, I wouldn't even know who gave it to me!"
He turned to look at his mother who was watching the show, "Mother, you can't help the tyrant. I must pay 600,000 taels before I can enter the palace. The emperor promised me before, if he goes back on his word then..."
"Shut up right there!" Concubine Yi didn't want to watch the show anymore. She stopped her stupid son from saying anything else. She couldn't bear it any more, so she picked up a plate beside her, overturned the fruit inside, and ran towards Yinzhen.
As soon as Concubine Yi started to make that move, Yinzhen turned around and ran away. If he didn't run away, he would be beaten!
Wen Yao laughed out loud without any decency, "Come on, mom! Come on, mom!"
Yinqi looked at his ninth brother's wife, then at his ninth brother who was circling over there, and then looked at his own wife who was smiling at the side, raised his hand and patted her hand, "Don't worry, no one can surpass you."
Originally, he was thinking about whether he could not give the concubine to someone else, but seeing his own wife being like this, he had to give the concubine to someone else as a concubine. His own wife had to be restrained, otherwise she would become even more unreasonable.
