Chapter 26 What is this called?
Chapter 26 What is this called?
Prince Zhi almost choked up. What does "straightforward, stupid, and foolish" mean? He disdained those conspiracies and intrigues, but he was not a fool!
If he were a fool, how could he command on the battlefield?
What a word!
Before Prince Zhi could say anything, he was interrupted by Wen Yao's next complaint, and immediately began to gloat over the other's misfortune.
[Besides competing with the Crown Prince for Kangxi, there is nothing else to complain about. Although the Crown Prince is perfect, he favors his concubine over his wife. I don’t know if it’s true or not. It is said that he was in love with the Crown Princess for six or seven years after the wedding, but then the Crown Princess didn’t give birth to a legitimate son, so he and the Crown Princess became cold to each other.] Wen Yao herself is not sure, but from these days, there are clues. [But the Crown Princess is really unpleasant. I hate her! Let her step on me to do favors. Fortunately, you don’t have a legitimate son. I’ll piss you off!]
The prince narrowed his eyes. Does that mean he really has no legitimate son, and favors his concubine over his wife? If the Crown Princess is really unable to give birth to a legitimate son, then he won't spend too much time on her. Concubines in the backyard will always give birth to more princes, but he will never favor his concubine over his wife. The Crown Princess is his first wife.
The prince did not believe Wen Yao on this point, because Wen Yao herself did not know whether it was true or not. However, he felt that Wen Yao was trustworthy in some ways. As the crown princess, Guaerjia was indeed impeccable.
The corner of Prince Zhi's mouth twitched. What do you mean by fighting for the Emperor? What's wrong with this Ninth Brother's Wife? Are they fighting for the Emperor? They are fighting for the position of Crown Prince!
Although Prince Zhi also agreed with what Wen Yao said in his heart, he completely ignored that thought. After all, he was fighting for the position of Crown Prince. He was no longer a child and would never fight for a pat on the head from the Emperor's father!
Kangxi was thinking about it. Fight for him? Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was like this from the beginning, but later on, the court officials gradually joined in, and it was no longer as pure as it was at the beginning. He himself thought that the current situation was pretty good.
However, Wen Yao made him realize that none of his sons would rebel, but he himself would cause his sons to turn against each other, and his final outcome would not be good.
Maybe he could try to change it himself.
The Fifth Lady looked at the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Lady who were still kneeling on the ground. Guo Luoluo had always looked down on her. She always looked at her with disdain and always argued with her. Now seeing Guo Luoluo kneeling on the ground, the Fifth Lady felt relieved.
The Fourth and Seventh Fujins had remained silent, and the Third Fujin spoke up at this time: "The Crown Princess is doing this for our sister-in-law, Ninth Brother's wife. The Eighth Fujin is still kneeling on the ground!" There was a hint of gloating in her voice.
"Do you think that now that you don't have a servant, the news won't get out? Third sister-in-law, do you know what the people are talking about the Dong'e family nowadays? Do you know how the major families are spreading rumors about the Dong'e family because of you?" Wen Yao raised her head and looked at the Third Lady Dong'e Shuyin. She had repaid the favor she had done last night, so since she still dared to target her like this, don't blame her!
Wen Yao is not a patient person. She has earned every extra day she can live. What is there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is death!
Tolerate?
impossible!
Unless... you give me more money!
The gloating expression on Sanfujin's face faded away, and she was about to say something, but she also noticed that Kangxi was still there, so she tried to regain her expression, "Ninth brother's wife, you are joking. I, your third sister-in-law, am a decent person."
[You are so shameless! I really give you face.] Wen Yao decided to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, so she would not show mercy. "The emperor is here now, so why not let the emperor personally check the backyard managed by the third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what do you think? Do you dare?"
Wen Yao had a gentle expression on her face, but her words were quite provocative. "Wen Yao is not like other women who can endure for a while and keep things calm. Wen Yao believes in taking a step back before others can take advantage of her. So Wen Yao has always been very patient when encountering things. The worst that can happen is that we will both perish together. Which family doesn't have some dirty deeds! Third sister-in-law, don't you agree?" Then she looked at the Eighth Lady who was kneeling on the ground, "Eighth sister-in-law, don't you agree?"
The Eighth Lady still did not speak, but knelt in silence with her head lowered.
"Okay, say less. Ninth brother's wife is your cousin, so which side are you on?" Yinzhi's heart skipped a beat. Then, before his royal father could speak, he spoke in time, looking at his wife behind him with a warning in his eyes, "Be obedient!"
His wife can't stand the investigation!
[Heh...] Wen Yao didn't complain about anything, just said "heh" with a hint of sarcasm. Who that was directed at, only Wen Yao herself knew.
The Third Lady was unwilling but she really didn't dare to confront Wen Yao. She didn't expect Dong E Wen Yao to be so bold. Wen Yao used to be very honest and could not even fart even if she was beaten with a ten-nanometer stick!
After hearing her master's warning, the Third Lady dared not speak a word and simply pretended to be dead. She was not afraid of losing face and believed that only by being able to bend and stretch could she gain a better foothold in front of her master.
How much is face worth?
Kangxi listened to the farce below. He knew a little about his sons' family affairs, but his sons didn't care. Why should he, a Marafa, do anything disgusting? Maybe people would accuse him of spying on him. It would be better for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb as long as it wasn't too much.
"It is not Xiaojiu and Xiaojiu's wife's request to kneel or not, and it is certainly not my request. Laoba and Laoba's wife could have stood up long ago," Kangxi put down the teacup and looked at the two people on the ground. "Yinsi, you say I am partial? Since I am partial to the crown prince, why don't others have the same as you? You feel wronged? Don't others feel wronged? If you feel wronged, you have to sacrifice Xiaojiu? I don't want to know what you think. I only look at how it is done!"
Everyone has their own ideas and difficulties. How many people can end up with the same result as their initial idea?
How many people have no choice but to change, and how many people change after they are powerless?
He only looks at the results. The final result is what he wants and what others can see and accept.
"Now the result is that you have sacrificed Xiaojiu's reputation, past efforts and money to achieve your own success. Those reputations are difficult to repay, but there is still 260,000 taels owed. What do you plan to do? Not to mention the opinions of Xiaojiu and Xiaojiu's wife, Xiaoshi alone does not agree with you not returning it. I want to hear your opinion," Kangxi said slowly, with a normal expression, as if he was chatting.
But no one dared to speak again at this time. Even the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi restrained their expressions and listened seriously.
"I don't have that much money, Father Royal, I will slowly pay it back to you," Yinsi raised his head with a look of determination on his face, "I will not owe you money without paying it back."
"When will you return it? How will you return it?" Kangxi closed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers. He suddenly opened his eyes with a sharp look, "I don't want to hear these fooling words anymore." He has heard enough in the court every day. Now those court officials dare not fool him like this.
