Chapter 115 No one can take it away
Xu Jing turned around and looked at his own wet nurse, who was frowning as she listened to the jerky in his hand. She blinked and stuffed it into her mouth, "It's gone! Don't even think about taking it away!"
Nanny Xu Jing looked helpless, "Princess, I'm not like the other servants in Prince Zhi's Mansion who don't let you eat enough. It's... you eat too much." She was afraid that her own princess would be hungry. She had raised her to be plump and fair since she was a child. Fortunately, after she grew up, the princess knew how to maintain her figure. It's just that today... the princess ate too much.
"How about I prepare something for you to help digestion?" Nanny Xun Jing touched Xun Jing's belly. Even though Xun Jing was already eleven years old, the nurse still treated her as a child. However, she would always ask Xun Jing for her opinion and would never act on her own no matter what.
Wen Yao looked at Xu Jing, "There's some digestive porridge in the kitchen, it'll be ready soon, you should eat less too, are you going to have the pork chops later?" Then she looked at Cui He, "Brother, did you really say that?"
"It is said that Nalan Mingzhu had a sad face, while Kerkun looked very touched," Cui He said of the news she had heard. "Aunt Qiu Ling, who is beside Concubine Yi, said that the emperor was not too angry. The fact that he made them kneel meant that his anger was about to subside."
"When the emperor is angry, he usually punishes people on the spot or secretly notes it down. Those who are punished by kneeling are usually not guilty of a serious offense. The emperor will only punish them slightly to teach them a lesson," Xu Jing said while rubbing her knees. She kneeled often.
Nanny Xu Jing looked helpless as she glanced at her own princess's little movements. Her own princess was a frequent visitor who often knelt in the Qianqing Palace. There was one time when she stuffed a bug she caught from the Imperial Garden into a memorial. She was scared half to death that time, but fortunately she used her own life to teach her own princess a lesson.
From then on, the Emperor also controlled his own princess. For the sake of his servant's life, his own princess became much more obedient. So what if his princess was naughty? The Emperor cared about her as a servant and even let her son be the manager of the small farm.
Wen Ke and Dun Ke looked at the serious face of the nanny beside them, they looked at each other without saying anything, continued to smile and interjected a few words from time to time.
Little pomegranate-like boy Yinlu was picking at melon seeds, his big, round eyes darting around.
By noon, Yinlu and the princess went back with a big box. Wen Yao also had people send cakes to Hongyu and the princesses in the Prince of Zhi's Mansion. However, she did not forget the princes and princesses in other princes' mansions, in order to give them to everyone equally.
As expected, she was scolded by the Third Lady. She looked at the two boxes and said, "Dong Ewen Yao is a scheming person. Let me have a taste." She took a bite in front of her two sons and said, "It's quite delicious. It seems that I will have to go to her shop to give her money in the future!"
Hongqing was already hugging his mother's legs. Hongsheng, who was in the arms of his wet nurse, also struggled towards Sanfujin, "Ah...eat! Sanbao, eat."
"Crush that box for Hongsheng, add some breast milk, and feed it to Hongsheng," the Third Lady instructed the nanny.
Wen Yao didn’t know what was happening on the Third Lady’s side, but even if she didn’t know, she wouldn’t care, after all, she could guess it.
Yinzhen had already returned to the prince's residence. He had been examined by the imperial physician and had medicine applied to him. "You all can go down first," he said, leaning on the table. "The emperor is angry with elder brother, so he wants to punish us all. It will take an hour. Fortunately, it will only take an hour. Do you think elder brother is really sure that he will not marry a concubine?"
"Maybe you were touched by what I said before?" Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "I think I was right."
"No, big brother...it's actually pretty miserable," Yinzhen thought it was better to have a concubine, "but with a concubine, at least many things are much more convenient, and it won't cause criticism from others. For example, if you want to receive ladies, you need a concubine, and the ladies won't look good."
"That's based on the premise that there's a wife. If there's no wife, it's normal for a concubine to come out to receive guests. Everyone knows about it, and there's no question of whether it looks good or not," Wen Yao took it lightly, "but let's not talk too much about what Big Brother has decided on his own."
"Don't worry, I will say this in front of you and my tenth brother. Why would I say this outside? Besides, what's going on in my eldest brother's house is none of my business." Yinzhen was just expressing his own opinion. "By the way, Wenyao, I think my eldest brother doesn't seem to be that hostile to the crown prince anymore. I think since last night, my eldest brother seems to be a little... not too interested in competing for that position."
"Are you hit by the fact that an old man gave the gift to a young man and that you will never have a legitimate son in the future?" Wen Yao would not think that she was hit by what she had accidentally said about the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, because Wen Yao did not notice this at all.
"It's possible," Yinzhen didn't think about it, because Yinzhen already knew that his father had been on the throne for 61 years, so he subconsciously ignored this point, "By the way, today my father told me about cowpox."
"What should we do?" Wen Yao became interested. She was very curious. After all, in the eyes of Kangxi and others, Yinzhen was pretending to be reborn to get information from them. They had heard before that cowpox could prevent and treat smallpox, and now it was probably confirmed, so they had to let the cowpox come out openly.
"The Emperor asked me to get it from you so that I can show it to you openly. I plan to do this. I will then say that you have seen it once before. That will be all," Yinzhen turned to look at Wen Yao, "This credit is yours, and no one can take it away from you."
"This achievement belongs to the emperor," Wen Yao said with a hint of caution. Although she is in the royal family now, who knows if she will be more meritorious than the emperor? What if she is bullied by him?
Emperors are suspicious creatures. There is nothing wrong with being cautious, as long as the emperor knows his own contributions.
Yinzhen tapped Wen Yao's head and said, "Sometimes you are extremely courageous, and sometimes you are smaller than a needle tip. What are you afraid of? Can the emperor still covet your credit? Don't worry, no one can take away the emperor's credit. We mentioned it between husband and wife, and in the end, it was the emperor who recognized the talent."
Wen Yao felt that Yinzhen used the idiom incorrectly, but when she heard that the credit was hers, she straightened her back and said, "I know I will get some kind of reward in the future, preferably a title." She has the silver now, so if she wants to say that it is a reward from Kangxi, it would be better to give her a title or a banner.
Now their lineage belongs to the Zhenghong Banner, the first of the lower five banners. If they can raise the flag, they can enter the upper three banners.
"As long as this achievement is accomplished, no one will be weird to you because of Dong Efei's matter, and you can show your appearance without worries in the future," Yinzhen sat up straight and held Wen Yao's hand. He knew that Wen Yao had always tried to make people ignore her appearance.
