Since Kangxi liked to travel around, Concubine Hui rarely stayed in Changchun Garden.
She would basically live in the eldest brother's palace, and only when Kangxi returned to Changchun Garden would she go and live with him for a while.
Today, she took several children from the mansion to Changchun Garden to stay for a few days. When she returned, she saw Concubine Yi and the children chatting with Kangxi.
After greeting each other, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui started chatting.
Concubine Hui said, "Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi have been at sea for almost a year now. It's about time they return."
Concubine Yi nodded. "Xiaojiu is a troublesome child. He likes to run around all day. It would be fine if he ran around by himself, but he also brought Xiaoshi with him. It's really worrying."
Concubine Hui ate some melon seeds, smiled and shook her head, "You're already a grown-up kid. It's rare for you to go out and see the world. There's nothing wrong with that."
Concubine Yi nodded and said that she was worried, but she was still satisfied in her heart.
Xiaojiu is a famous God of Wealth. He hands over more than half of the money he earns to the national treasury, and shares the rest with his brothers.
But even so, he was rich.
Concubine Yi's life in the prince's mansion is now more luxurious than her previous life in the imperial palace.
Kangxi sat in the shade of a tree reading a book, occasionally listening to a word or two from them, while the children were playing in a small garden not far away. There were special palace servants watching them, so there was nothing to worry about.
As the two chatted, Concubine Yi suddenly said, "You've heard about what happened at Xiao Ba's mansion, right? I never thought that child was such a stubborn person. He would never accept the divorce letter."
Concubine Hui nodded. Whenever she thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Although she was not optimistic about the marriage between the Eighth Brother and his wife from the beginning, she always felt that the Guo Luoluo family was too strong and that the Eighth Brother might not be able to control them.
But she could also see that Guo Ruoluo really liked Xiao Ba, and thought that there would be a turning point between the two because of love.
I didn’t expect that love is true love, but jealousy is also true jealousy.
Xiao Ba has been married for so many years, but he only has one child. She would never believe that Guo Luoluo had not taken action in the backyard.
Now that things have gotten to this point, although no one can say anything to Xiao Ba openly, it will eventually affect his reputation. Even the Guo Luoluo family will eventually blame Xiao Ba for this. It's really a sin.
Concubine Hui sighed and said, "I sent someone to look for Xiao Ba a few days ago. He never imagined that Guo Luoluo would go to such lengths. I don't think he will be able to recover from this grief for a while."
Concubine Yi also sighed. She was a girl from the Guo Luoluo family, and in her heart she was more or less sympathetic to her niece.
However, her niece's actions and reputation were really bad, which made it difficult for her to gain a foothold in the harem for a time.
But now the other party would rather choose death than accept the divorce letter, which made her look at him with a higher opinion.
She glanced at Kangxi, who was reading a book nearby, and whispered to Concubine Hui, "With all the commotion at Xiaoba's house, it's hard to say when the next marriage will be granted."
Concubine Hui thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the eldest brother that Xiao Ba wanted to make the child's biological mother his wife, so that he could have a way out for his only child."
Concubine Yi thought about it and thought this was a good idea.
There is only one such child in the entire palace. No matter which girl marries into the palace as a concubine, she may not treat the child well.
Since the child's biological mother is a concubine, I think her family background is also good, so there is nothing wrong with making her the legal wife.
The two of them were chatting casually, and Kangxi couldn't help but think about this matter in his heart.
When he issued the order to his eighth son to divorce his wife, he really didn't expect Guo Leluo to go to such an extent, and it really shocked him.
But in the emperor's mind, she was just a woman, and expressing her dissatisfaction in this way was a challenge to the imperial power.
Therefore, he did not have much pity for Guo Luoluo in his heart, but instead felt a little disgusted.
As for what Concubine Hui said, he had thought about it. Even Yinreng had once told him that Xiao Ba meant to make the child's biological mother the legitimate wife.
But after all, these were just said in private, and he hadn't really discussed this matter with Xiao Ba yet. Let's wait for a while before talking about it.
The three of them maintained this tacit understanding, two of them chatting and one reading a book. Not long after, Yinreng came over with his men. Seeing the three of them in this state from a distance, he couldn't help laughing.
"It's rare for Empress Yi and Empress Hui to come into the palace to talk with the Emperor, so why is he still reading alone?"
Yinreng sat down and the palace servants immediately brought him tea and snacks.
Yinreng took only one sip and then asked, "I heard that the eldest brother took his wife to Jiangnan. It's been over two months since he left. Don't you want to come back?"
Concubine Hui smiled and shook her head.
When she mentioned this matter, she felt helpless.
Ever since that kid heard that Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were going out to sea, he has been wanting to go out for a walk as well.
So, while Concubine Hui was not paying attention, he took his wife to Jiangnan and left the women and children in the backyard of the mansion to her care. He made her, who was supposed to be out of the palace to retire, start to take care of the housework, which almost made her angry to death.
"That damn kid has always given me so much worry. Luckily, the women in the backyard are quite sensible and haven't caused any trouble."
Concubine Yi laughed at the side, "With their husbands not at home, how dare they cause trouble? Besides, Sister Hui is at least a first-rank concubine in the harem. Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to act rashly in front of you."
Yinreng nodded, and then ordered He Yuzhu to pass a message to the Queen, asking her to send someone to Prince Zhi's mansion to give them a warning, so that no one would take advantage of the boss's absence to cause trouble, which would implicate Empress Hui.
"Father Emperor, would you like to go on a northern tour in the autumn?"
As soon as Yinreng said this, Kangxi stopped reading and immediately came over with great interest.
"I haven't toured the north for two years."
It was Yinreng who didn't let him go.
The main reason was that the court affairs had been a bit busy in the past two years, and it was not appropriate to always let the fourth and thirteenth brothers take care of them. However, he was not at ease with the old man going on the northern tour alone, so he completely rejected the old man's plan to go out and play.
Seeing that Kangxi was so excited, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi also became interested.
"Let's go too. We can only go out for a short walk this time. I'm afraid we won't have the chance again in the future."
Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Hui, who was a little hesitant.
"The boss is no longer in the house. If I go out too, what will happen to the backyard?"
Concubine Yi waved her hand and said, "Xiao Jiu is gone too, so I don't have to worry about the backyard anymore. Those women can fight if they want to. As long as they consider the tempers of the masters of each family, then they can fight."
Concubine Hui was amused by Concubine Yi's recklessness.
"Okay, okay, I'll follow you."
Kangxi was very satisfied and said, "Let's go together."
Yinreng also nodded, "Yes, let's go together."
