Chapter 247 Wen Yao's Transparency
Chapter 247 Wen Yao's Transparency
As for titles and the like, they are only real when you have them in your hands first!
And if Yaoyao wants her future daughter not to marry off a foreign prince, then she can just get the emperor's decree. Why bother accumulating merits!
The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it. After all, his achievements were known to everyone in the Qing Dynasty, and his wife's life would not be threatened, so what was there to be afraid of!
Kangxi put down the things in his hand and slowly looked at Yinzhen, "Xiaojiu, you are smart but your thoughts on dealing with people are not as clear as your wife. Do you know why your wife has been accumulating merits? If you want to strive for merits for your future children, you can get an imperial decree from me. Why accumulate them?"
"What does the Emperor mean by this?" Yinzhen thought that his wife could think of so many things? Wait, although Yaoyao knew very little about the affairs of the court and some of her logic was confusing, she was just right in dealing with people and the ways of the world, which was incomparable to him. Maybe there really was another meaning.
"Are you treating Baocheng the same way you treat your other brothers?" Kangxi glanced at his own Baocheng who was watching the show nearby. Kangxi leaned lazily on the back of the dragon throne and asked Yinzhen who was looking at him.
Yinzhen looked at the crown prince, and when they met eyes, it was hard for him to say the same thing, so he spoke decisively and honestly, "My second brother is the crown prince, and he is also the legitimate son. How can he be treated the same as me and my brothers?"
The prince looked at his father, "Father, do you mean that my ninth brother's wife wants to be like everyone else?"
"Don't you realize that Xiao Jiu Fu Jin has done so many great things, but you can't remember that she is a woman who has made great contributions for a while? Throughout history, every woman who has made great contributions has a special status, but do you feel that way in front of Xiao Jiu Fu Jin?"
Kangxi's expression was gentle. "The great hermit hides in the city. Little Nine's wife is still so heartless that she goes around chatting with my concubines, and even the concubines of the previous emperor, or even the palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom cannot escape the clutches of your wife. You can go and ask. In the eyes of almost everyone in the palace, your wife is even higher than me. No one regards her as a high-ranking woman who can be compared to the court officials and has made contributions."
Yinzhen fell into deep thought, it seemed to be true, even he himself sometimes forgot that his Yaoyao was no less capable than men, and even felt that he should protect her. It was really because his Yaoyao was too weak and too kind to be bullied. It seemed that...Yaoyao...had not been bullied by others!
Yaoyao is so amazing, Yin'er's eyes light up. He will have to seek protection from his own Yaoyao in the future!
The more Yinzhen thought about it, the happier he became. His face was full of pride, and his back was straight. "My Yaoyao is still very capable. If Yaoyao doesn't immediately ask for the emperor's decree for my son's and his children in the future, is it to avoid standing out from the crowd?"
"What do you think? Marriage is a responsibility of all royal children. Princes marry women from various tribes with whom they are on good terms, and princesses go to various tribes as wives. This is something they cannot escape. If only your children do not marry and are free to marry, what do you think will happen to you two? What will happen to your children in the future?" Kangxi looked at Yinzhen. Even if they were brothers, it would not be a problem for a while.
It's just that as time goes by, as the children grow up one by one, especially when some of them need to marry off to other families, you just watch... then it won't be a question of envy anymore.
Perhaps on the other hand it will also promote harmony among other people, after all, everyone is an exception for Lady Xiaojiu and her friends.
The Crown Prince agreed and nodded slightly, "I also envy my ninth brother for being able to marry a wife like his sister-in-law, for the benefit of his children in the future." As the Crown Prince, his daughters must be married off to foreign countries. He can strive to keep his legitimate daughter in the capital, but he will have to marry off other concubines' daughters as well, after all, they cannot be treated preferentially at the same time.
"Your Majesty, what you just said about letting the royal princesses go to the study room may cause dissatisfaction among the court officials," the prince thought of what his royal father had just said about the princesses going to the study room. His royal father did not hide the fact that it was inspired by his ninth brother's wife's complaints to Concubine Yi. The prince had to say that his ninth brother's wife did not have the slightest aversion to same-sex women as he thought. Instead, she would feel pity for them and seek their welfare.
In fact, several sisters in the harem have changed a lot now. The maids and servants around them dare not disobey their orders anymore, especially the imperial sister Wen Ke. When she was born, the seventh imperial sister born to Concubine De, Uya, had died. She was in a difficult situation at that time, and the maids, eunuchs and servants around her also acted according to the situation.
This also caused Wen Ke to have a somewhat timid character. Later, as his Thirteenth Brother grew up, with his support, the servants around Wen Ke became much more obedient. However, Wen Ke basically still stayed in her own bedroom and did not go out.
Ever since the ninth brother's wife entered the palace, even though Concubine Uya had a bad relationship with her, at least on the surface there was no resentment. Even so, the other concubines did not want to go to palaces other than their own mother-in-law's palace to visit other concubines.
But my ninth brother's wife is an exception. She wants to go to every palace. Even to the concubines of the emperor, such as Concubine Gui, my ninth brother's wife will go. What's more, Yonghe Palace?
He also often heard that his ninth brother's wife went to Yonghe Palace. At least he could see the changes in Wen Ke, because now he often saw Wen Ke and his wife in the Imperial Garden. Although they were still a little timid, at least they dared to come out and scold the servants beside them.
Even her smile was more confident than before, and she finally looked like a princess.
The prince saw all these changes. He envied his ninth brother but never envied him, because his ninth brother also protected his sister-in-law at all costs, which was something he could never do.
Therefore, he never expected his Crown Princess to be like his ninth brother's wife.
"I am not afraid of opposition from court officials. If they object, I will not force them to agree. Whoever objects can let their daughter enter the palace. I will also confer titles on their daughters and send them to marry. In that way, my daughters can stay in Beijing. With me and you brothers here, who dares to bully my daughters!" Kangxi's face was calm, without the slightest anger.
When fighting with court officials, you must not get angry. Once you get angry, the decision you make will be biased. Only by keeping your emotions stable can you make the most accurate decision.
This was not enough for the prince. Kangxi did not point it out directly, and it was useless to say it now. Only when he experienced it himself would he gain some understanding.
"Brother Crown Prince, why do I feel like you want to quarrel with the court officials? Are you trying to emulate my elder brother? He has completely given up competing with you for the position of Crown Prince and has completely let himself go. He doesn't even want to marry a concubine. He is different from you!"
