Chapter 224 I Was Cheated
[Concubine Wei has learned from Yinsi that his ambitions have faded, and she has long given up all thoughts of improving her position.] Wen Yao had to say that no matter how annoying Concubine Wei was, at least she was a kind mother. [The maids around Concubine Wei wanted to leave because she was worried about Yinsi. She didn't expect to cause such a disaster. Concubine Wei came over to apologize.]
Wen Yao had to say that Concubine Wei was actually... she also had ambitions for her son. In the harem, there was only victory and defeat, no right or wrong. From Concubine Hui's perspective, Concubine Wei was an ungrateful person, but from Concubine Wei's perspective, wasn't it also a kind of strategy?
Concubine Wei is a person who is truly adaptable and can be considered another kind of hero.
Wen Yao compared Concubine Wei and Concubine Wu Ya, and she felt that Concubine Wei was much better than Concubine Wu Ya.
However, Wen Yao felt that it was too much trouble, so she decided to leave it to them to handle it themselves, and she left decisively.
Wen Yao returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity after notifying everyone one by one. Seeing Yinzhen sleeping soundly, she walked to Kangxi's desk and said, "Father, Yinzhen is a little tired. Can I take him back to the prince's residence to rest?"
Kangxi looked at Wen Yao, then at Yinzhen who was sleeping soundly, "Go back," and then looked at his own Baoqing who had come to report, "Continue."
The Prince of Zhi looked at his ninth brother who was awakened by Wen Yao, and then looked at Wen Yao. He missed his wife. He shouldn't have been so obsessed with giving birth to a legitimate eldest son. The first thing his ninth brother's wife did when she came to the Qianqing Palace was to comfort his ninth brother. Sometimes he really envied his ninth brother.
He had it before, but he never cherished it. He hoped that his ninth brother would not follow in his footsteps. Now there is no such warmth by his side anymore.
Yinzhen woke up hazily, without even opening his eyes, and leaned into Wenyao's arms, "Yaoyao~ I'm sleepy."
"Let's go home. The Emperor has just agreed." Wen Yao winked at Qian Lai and Xiao Xia. The two stepped forward to support Yinzhen. Yinzhen suddenly opened his eyes and pushed the two away. His eyes were very cold. "I'm here. I'll let them support you."
"No," Yinzhen didn't look at the two of them, but his eyes softened and he looked at Wen Yao, "Let's go back."
Kangxi paused for a moment while holding the pen. "Baoqing, continue."
"Ah? Oh," Prince Zhi came back to his senses, but suddenly turned around to look at Yinzhen's back, frowning, "Father Your Majesty, my ninth brother..." something seemed to be wrong.
"Tell me you found it out," Kangxi interrupted him in time and shook his head at him.
Prince Zhi retracted his gaze and stopped talking. He turned around and continued to talk about what he had found out. "I have already found out a lot of slaves through the interrogation of my fourth brother and his men. They have all been taken to the clan office. My second brother is handling the follow-up matters. And..."
Wen Yao and Yinzhen left the Qianqing Palace. Yinzhen regained his spirits. After returning to the prince's residence, Yinzhen stretched and said, "Come on, Qianlai, go and set up the nets on both sides. I want to play Cuju with Fujin."
After Yinzhen finished speaking, he looked at Wenyao and said, "You learned it all last time. Let's compete again today?"
"Okay, let's go. Whoever loses has to give the other person a massage. No cheating or laziness," Wen Yao felt that it would be fun only if there was a bet.
"No problem, how could I cheat?" Yinzhen looked at Wenyao, "Who is cheating? Don't you know who is cheating?"
"No!" Wen Yao answered straightforwardly. Even if it was her, she would not admit it. "It's not me, how can I know the answer?"
"Your mouth is harder than my tenth brother's," Yinzhen thought about himself, remembering that when he was a child, he stiffened his neck and refused to admit it. He laughed unconsciously, "I remember that when I was about seven or eight years old, my tenth brother and I skipped classes and were caught by my father. I still refused to admit it, saying that it was allowed by the teacher. Otherwise, why didn't I report it to my father the first time I skipped class?"
"You must have been punished severely at that time, right?" Wen Yao had to admit that Yinzhen was very courageous, what a naughty child!
Wen Yao thought there was some truth in it. "Why do I feel like what you said at the time made some sense? Children's mistakes should be pointed out and corrected as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to correct them later, and small mistakes will gradually become big mistakes."
"That's what the Emperor said. Doesn't that mean that Master is wrong? Right? In the end, he punished Master, saying that he was helping Master and his tenth brother correct their small mistakes," Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "Do you think the Emperor was fooling the child at that time?"
"Did you listen?" Wen Yao didn't care about that. Of course, the naughty kid had to be punished. "Did you cause trouble for the gentleman?"
Yinzhen felt a little guilty, "Of course I have to listen. As for the master, he lost three months' salary because of my father and my tenth brother. The master is poor and never embezzles. It was my mother who arranged for Guo Luoluo's people to send some gifts to the master, but they were all sent back. The emperor praised the master in public."
"You deserve the praise," Wen Yao nodded. She didn't think too deeply about it.
Yinzhen looked disgusted, and then poked Wen Yao's cheek with his index finger, "Why don't you use your brain? What are you praising? This gift is an apology. It's okay to accept it. It's not worth it for the emperor to bring it up. The emperor praised you, so you won't accept anything. Then your life will be even poorer. Who implicated you? It was me and my tenth brother!"
Yinzhen sighed, "I regretted it so much at that time. It was really good that the teacher was strict. From then on, my father and I dared not skip classes again. Originally, my father and I did not think about it, but mother and the others told my father and me."
"You still mean that? Mother was also in the same group with the Emperor at that time, right?" Wen Yao held Yinzhen's hand. Xiaodong had already brought the ball. Wen Yao took the ball and threw it to Yinzhen, "I'll change my shoes."
Wen Yao changed her shoes and came out. Yinzhen was standing on the east side, kicking his feet and preparing to attack. Wen Yao hurried forward. Yinzhen did not delay in answering Wen Yao's previous question and continued to talk about how he was deceived by the emperor and mother in his childhood. "Of course, mother had to cooperate with the emperor. At that time, the master said that he was sick and had no money to treat him. My father and tenth brother said that they would go to ask the imperial physician for him. The imperial physician did not dare to disobey them. Fourth brother also found the second brother, the crown prince."
"Did you alarm... huh huh... the prince?" Wen Yao's breathing was uneven. She was scrambling for the ball. Although she hadn't touched the ball yet, she did not forget to ask.
"The second prince has a private class, but he has a good relationship with the fourth brother. The fourth brother also respects the teacher very much, so naturally he asks the second prince for help. However, the imperial physician said that it was the emperor's order, and the teacher must pay the money himself before he can treat the patient," Yinzhen slowed down, raised his foot and slightly turned sideways, and the ball was snatched away by Wen Yao. Yinzhen followed slowly behind, and from time to time he ran to both sides of Wen Yao as if to steal the ball.
He did not forget to continue talking about the following events, "My father and my tenth brother felt extremely guilty at that time. After that incident, they rarely skipped classes, but they took the initiative to accept the punishment when they occasionally skipped classes. It was not until later that the teacher was no longer in the study room that he told my father that it was the emperor who specially arranged it in order to make my father and tenth brother remember it. The teacher was also rewarded with 100 taels at that time, and he did not fall ill and had no place to get treatment."
