Looking at her possessions, Wanwan increasingly felt that when Emperor Kangxi grew old and senile, she should have sent him to his death immediately.
Otherwise, it would be such a waste to squander so much money. It belonged to his son back then, and now he's saving it for his son. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right? (?′ω`?)
Upon thinking about it, Wanwan immediately realized it was a good idea.
Although Emperor Kangxi was a diligent and capable ruler in his early years, it is also true that he became incompetent and tyrannical in his later years.
To prevent corrupt officials from running rampant in Kangxi's later years, it would be better to send Kangxi to his death early, thus preserving his reputation as a wise ruler.
Wanwan had already planned this before, and now, looking at the ledger, the seed in her heart is taking root and sprouting even more.
Wanwan said, "All the silver in the ledger was sent to my private estate, and the jewelry, paintings, and other valuables were sent to the palace."
Wanwan said, "Let's send in a small portion of the money. Our son is all grown up now and it costs money."
Tingyu replied, "Yes, this servant will send the message out immediately."
Wanwan continued flipping through the ledger and said, "Hmm, let's also give those shopkeepers a warning. Don't think that just because I'm in the palace, I can't reach outside. If they dare to embezzle anything from my shops, I'll make them pay with their lives."
Tingyu said, "This servant understands, but the people in the shop are all your trusted confidants. Isn't doing this a bit...?"
Upon hearing this, Wanwan snorted, "Wealth can be a powerful motivator. I don't want them to think that I'm too far away to reach them. It's better for me to keep a close eye on them. Besides, my second brother is still outside the palace. With him around, although there might not be any major trouble, I absolutely cannot tolerate any parasites in my shop."
Tingyu said she understood, and at that moment Changping came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan immediately put down the ledger and walked out, talking as she went.
"This brat goes to his second and fourth brothers' places every few days, and he doesn't come back for two or three days at a time. He spends less time with me than with his fourth brother."
Tingfeng said, "Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity to strengthen the bond between the brothers."
Wanwan: "Of course I know, but I just don't feel right. He was so well-behaved when he was little, but now, I can hardly see him."
As Wanwan spoke, she walked out, and halfway there she heard her son calling her.
Yinyu: "Mother, Mother, your son is back."
Upon hearing this, Wanwan suddenly seemed to see the Fourth Prince as he used to be, the first thing he did upon returning home was to call out to his mother.
Wanwan looked at her son and really thought the "money rat tail" hairstyle was too ugly. Luckily, her son was "jade-like and cute"—no, he should be said to be handsome—so he could pull off this hairstyle.
Ever since the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince got this hairstyle, they've both looked much uglier, only their charisma makes up for it.
Wanwan: "So you still know how to come back."
As the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, Yinyu was pampered by the Emperor, his mother, and his two older brothers. Although he could not be described as lawless, he was certainly mischievous.
Seeing Wanwan arrive, he immediately beamed and threw himself onto her lap, saying, "Mother, your son is back! Aren't you happy?"
Looking at this face that was "neither male nor female" and "indistinguishable in gender," Wanwan couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh, so she simply hugged her.
Wanwan, "What have you and your second and fourth brothers been doing these past few days?"
The doll asked her youngest son in her arms as she played with him and walked around the house.
Keep it up, keep writing! Please support me, everyone! I'm almost out of motivation (?_?)
