Chapter 118: Two villains
"But, the treatment is the same. If they have any questions, they can come and ask me." Wen Yao did not expect to differentiate the treatment. The treatment is naturally the same. "If there is anything they are good at, they can also come and ask."
Wen Yao sent Wan Yan away, and Nanny Cui He came forward with the hawthorn cake, "Master, are they really at ease with this? Will they go and complain to Master Jiu?"
"Master Jiu has given his permission and is in favor of it. Perhaps someone will go and complain to Concubine Yi," Wen Yao smiled and stood up. "Let's go and have a meal at Yikun Palace."
Everything must be done first, as for the rest, it depends on whether they will fall into the well.
If one wants to completely establish Fu Jin's prestige, there is no need for any punishment or harsh measures. The most gentle way is to control certain people and completely establish her prestige so that they cannot resist.
This is what Wen Yao is best at. All the bigwigs are partial to her, so that some people who want to complain and make trouble have no way to start.
Solve the problem in one step.
In the Yikun Palace, Kangxi and Concubine Yi were chatting and laughing. When she heard the servant's report, Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am right. If Wen Yao doesn't bother me for a day, it's not a day at all."
"I see, my harem is just like what was opened for her. They all say they spend their time embroidering or writing, but she is different. When she is bored, she goes around looking for my concubines to chat. She can go to anyone's palace and have a good chat. I see they welcome her more strongly than they welcome me," Kangxi was speechless about this. A woman might not be sarcastic when meeting other women, but she is not much better either.
This Concubine Xiaojiu was so good that she liked to chat with women everywhere. Kangxi thought she was vulgar, but her own concubines all said that Concubine Xiaojiu was true to her nature. Kangxi thought that if she were a man, he would kill her.
"Why do you think she likes to visit my concubines so much? The prettier the girls are, the more she likes to go," Kangxi also heard Concubine Xiaojiu say in her heart that although he was not good at other things as an emperor, his aesthetic taste was always online.
Tell me what you are talking about!
"Mother, eh~ Your daughter-in-law pays respects to the Emperor, and to mother," Wen Yao kneeled down slowly, her eyes glancing at him from time to time, [Why don't you say no need to be polite! ]
Kangxi:......
"Hurry up and get up," Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi's face, put her index finger to her lips and smiled softly, "Why are you here at this time? Have you had your meal?"
"Not yet. I want to be with mother...and the Emperor," Wen Yao quickly stood up and sat next to Concubine Yi.
"Don't you feel yourself redundant when I'm here?" Kangxi used to be very tolerant to his daughters-in-law and spoke very tactfully. But ever since he knew that Wen Yao was as much of a tough nut to crack as Yinzhen and Yinxi, Kangxi's mouth has been very poisonous.
Wen Yao was immune to this and didn't feel embarrassed at all. "No, why would I feel embarrassed to have dinner with my mother and father? No, and the daughter-in-law came here to tell the emperor and mother something good."
The smile on Concubine Yi's face never disappeared. "Why is the emperor arguing with Wen Yao again? Wen Yao is still a child."
"Your child is this old?" Kangxi immediately retorted angrily, and then looked at Wen Yao with disdain, "You are still a child? Ha!"
"In the eyes of the Emperor and Mother, my daughter-in-law, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Brother are all children," Wen Yao nodded decisively. In the eyes of parents, children are always children. "Emperor, Mother, it's like this. The Ninth Master and I have come up with a good idea..."
Wen Yao told them about letting Wanyan and her family sell their designs in the store. "Master Jiu said that this way, they wouldn't have to think about harming others, and they would have a chance to make money for their retirement."
"You, you, you, you!" Kangxi pointed at Wen Yao. Even the courtiers of the previous dynasty had not made him so angry. "Concubine Yi, look at your son and daughter-in-law. What are you talking about? The royal family can't even afford to support a princess?"
"I can afford it. That's not what I earned. I can work hard to make ends meet, so why don't I do it myself? My daughter-in-law has already told Wanyan, and Wanyan wants to sell paintings. I've wanted to be a master painter since I was a child," Wen Yao said unconvincedly. "Father, the royal family's money doesn't come for free. Master Jiu is doing this for your sake."
Concubine Yi looked at Wen Yao deeply, and she could say that black was white. Xiao Jiu was thinking about the emperor? Stop it, she didn't believe it!
But Kangxi's face looked better. "If you have the intention to use it in the right way, this crooked way," he looked at Wen Yao, "if this gets out."
"They won't tell their names, and no one will know they did it. The paintings are signed with pen names, unless someone can recognize their brush style," Wen Yao didn't say anything too definite, "Just like the ladies in the harem have their own shops, and the officials in the court also have so many shops."
"You are indeed Xiaojiu's wife. You can even argue that we are all the same when competing for profits with the common people," Kangxi sneered, "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the last."
"But everyone cannot do without business, and any transaction is also business, just like the current spending in the palace also reveals business everywhere. Everyone wants to become the emperor. Look at those court officials. They all speak high-sounding words, but they all have shops at home. If a place wants to develop, business and agriculture are equally important. Sometimes, business must be developed first before agriculture can be driven. Father Emperor, what do you think?" Wen Yao felt that no industry was inferior and they were all inseparable.
"She is as eloquent as Xiaojiu," Kangxi smiled faintly and looked at Concubine Yi, "Do you still remember what Xiaojiu said to me at the beginning? Look, it's true that birds of a feather flock together. They say exactly the same thing. I even suspect that Xiaojiu taught her."
Concubine Yi was about to speak for her little Jiu when Wen Yao spoke first, "Father, you can't argue with me. You can't always blame my Jiu Ye. This is my own idea. My mother also asked the two concubines to do the same. Later, the two concubines liked to run all kinds of businesses. My father always had face every time he went out."
"Your Majesty, Wen Yao is right. To be honest, many ladies have told me that they envy and admire Wen Yao's mother," Concubine Yi seized the opportunity to add.
"That's the Dong'e family's business. Why does Xiaojiu have to get involved? Do you want to learn from that old guy Dong'e Qishi and let women make money for him?" Kangxi pinched his brows. It's not like he didn't know about Dong'e Qishi. The court officials were both envious and disdainful of him, but he was lucky. Most importantly, his ability was pretty good and no one could find any fault with him. They all called him an old sly guy.
"Master Jiu and I are like two swords working together, a husband and wife with one mind," Wen Yao boasted shamelessly.
"I think it's... a combination of two idiots!"
