Do they dare say it's full?
Furthermore, the jewelry bestowed by the Empress Dowager is of the highest quality, and they really need a few pieces to make a statement.
It's something that will bring honor to future generations and be passed down through generations.
Of course, Tong Wanyan wouldn't let each of them pick a bag; she would simply give them some small, miscellaneous items as a reward, so that they wouldn't have made a wasted trip.
After learning about this, the Empress Dowager inexplicably felt a sense of unease towards Fucha Yuxian.
Whether she rewards her or not is one thing, but Fucha Yuxian looks down on her things, and this arrogance is truly rare.
Over the years, the Empress Dowager has enjoyed a smooth and prosperous life, with filial children and grandchildren and a peaceful and prosperous era. It's no wonder she has become a bit childish.
When Emperor Kangxi came to pay his respects, she deliberately mentioned it.
Tong Wanyan has always been low-key. Even though she gave birth to twins and held the title of mother of the eldest grandson of the emperor, she never acted frivolously. Even her brothers were all incredibly hardworking and upright, truly pillars of the nation.
The only ones who held us back, our father and mother, fled to Shengjing; they were smart enough to do that.
Even if Emperor Kangxi wanted to be picky, he couldn't find fault with anything.
Thinking of the once-powerful Fucha clan, Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly. He was already dissatisfied with Yinreng's decision to take Fucha Yuxian as a concubine.
Even the most powerful and influential families have a few bad apples. When Emperor Kangxi was dissatisfied, it was all too easy for him to find fault.
Several officials from collateral branches of the Fucha clan were ruthlessly stripped of their official positions and replaced with members of the Tongjia clan.
Those in the court immediately sensed something amiss.
Fortunately, they were all unimportant people and did not affect the foundation of the Fucha clan.
When Fucha Yuxian's mother learned of this, she was anxious all night and went to Yuqing Palace the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
Tong Wanyan received the visiting card from Consort Fucha and tossed it aside.
Given her status, it's best for her to avoid associating with the wives of high-ranking officials.
Things change every thirty years; who knows what the future holds?
"I thought you were always so easy to take care of, but look what you've been up to these days!" Fucha Fujin was furious.
She originally chose a leisurely member of the royal family, a down-to-earth and ambitious man with a clean backyard, who was an excellent candidate.
The daughter of the Fucha family didn't need to enter the palace to gain favor; she only needed to live a comfortable life.
"How could I have raised such a carefree child like you!" Seeing Fucha Yuxian's indifferent attitude, Fucha Fujin knew that no matter what she said, Fucha Yuxian would not listen to her.
"Consort, several of your cousins and uncles have been demoted. Tell your mother honestly what you've been up to lately," Consort Fucha asked bluntly.
At this moment, Fucha Yuxian panicked: "Which cousin is it? Every man in our family is outstanding, how could it be?"
Fucha Yuxian knew the importance of her family's influence, so she dared not let her own petty thoughts implicate the entire Fucha family.
"It's good that you're afraid. Don't worry, she's just a distant relative of ours, we're not even remotely related." In the end, Consort Fucha loved her daughter and couldn't bear to see her in fear.
Fucha Yuxian looked at Fucha Fujin reproachfully: "Mother, why are you telling me this! It's that Tongjia woman who's gone too far. She puts on airs in front of me and even uses the Empress Dowager's rewards to pressure me. When I was still at home, I received rewards from the Empress Dowager before."
Fucha Fujin was so angry she almost slapped her across the face to wake this fool up.
"You really dare to speak so boldly! Do you think you can refuse the Empress Dowager's reward? I have spoiled you too much over the years, making you arrogant and think you can mess with anyone. Let me tell you, no matter how rich our family is, we are still servants of the royal family. Consort Tong is a woman from the Emperor's maternal clan and is also favored by the Imperial Noble Consort. You dare to dream of competing with her."
"Hmph!" Fucha Yuxian was displeased with Fucha Fujin's words.
Consort Fucha's face turned ashen with anger: "I didn't intend to tell you this when you got married, it was none of your business. But now, I'll tell you anyway. Consort Tong's appearance is strikingly similar to the Empress Dowager."
"Empress Dowager?" Fucha Yuxian was momentarily speechless.
Fucha Fujin poked her forehead angrily: "The Emperor's birth mother."
“No wonder. Mother, I know you love me. I will never make such a mistake again. Don’t worry, I will go and apologize to Consort Tong in a little while.”
Her eyes were gleaming, and who knows how many wicked ideas she was brewing.
