Emperor Kangxi was quite good at mathematics, but his private treasury was very short of money!
These honeycomb briquettes benefit the people and also contribute to his private wealth; why not do it!
"You're right. Who do you think should handle this?"
Yinzhen glanced at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Thirteenth Brother is very good. He was with us when the workshop was being built, so he has experience."
Kangxi remained silent for a while. He knew that Yinzhen and Yinxiang had a good relationship, but he did not know that their relationship was this good.
He knew that Yinxiang was having a hard time at the Ministry of Revenue, but he had his own choices. Yinzhen spent such a large sum of money, probably for Yinxiang's sake. The brotherhood between the two reminded Kangxi of himself and Fuquan.
"Then let's leave it to Thirteen! You can teach him properly. By the way, these honeycomb briquettes were invented by the princess in your backyard. I can't just not reward her. How about I make her a concubine?"
Yinzhen quickly refused: "Father, Lady Chang is just lucky. She doesn't deserve such a reward from you. She was overjoyed with the reward you gave her last time and felt flattered. Besides, I have already given her a reward, and she is quite satisfied."
Emperor Kangxi asked curiously, "What reward did you give?"
Yinzhen said shyly, "I often visit her courtyard. Oh, and there's another piece of good news to tell Father Emperor: Lady Chang is pregnant. I think this is much more exciting than her being made a secondary consort."

"Don't tell Chang Shi this. I'll give her some more rewards."
Yinzhen looked puzzled: "What's wrong with saying this?"
Kangxi: ……
What a blockhead!
Kangxi planned to give more practical things this time, such as gold and silver, since she was pregnant. He wanted to compensate her. Judging from Yinzhen's appearance, Kangxi didn't expect him to have any feelings for women.
Thinking back to how he had previously doted on Lady Li, it seemed that Lady Li had done something that offended him, and he stopped doting on her without warning. However, he was patient with the children, which pleased Kangxi.
