Rong Xi was overjoyed; today was truly a wonderful day.
Six Foundation Establishment Pills and ten high-grade spirit stones!
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were completely shocked. Before coming, they had prepared themselves to see Rong Xi embarrass herself and were even thinking about how to smooth things over to avoid making things too awkward. But now, Rong Xi's godlike performance made them feel like they had wasted the past few decades.
The head of the Imperial Household Department is a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul stage, wielding real power, and is usually the object of people's flattery.
As far as Granny Rui and Granny Xiang knew, even some of the concubines and noble ladies in the palace had to be extremely careful around the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department. After all, the Grand Eunuch controlled their cultivation resources.
"My Ladyship, I just don't understand!"
On the way back, Granny Rui asked her question.
Why would the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department be so easy to talk to?
Is this so hard to think of?
Rong Xi blinked and said, "So what if he's the head of the Imperial Household Department? He's not indispensable to the royal family. He certainly has a lot of power, but that power was given to him by His Majesty. With just one word from His Majesty, he's nothing."
"I am the primary consort of a prince, and besides, who is my father? You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Ulanara's father was General Feiyanggu, who was stationed on the frontier and was a true regional governor. Moreover, that's not all; most importantly, Feiyanggu had saved Emperor Kangxi's life.
Rong Xi took over Ulanara's body, and naturally inherited everything from Ulanara.
Within this palace, she had no shortage of protectors. Among them, the two most powerful were Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.
Is saving a life only rewarded with marrying your daughter into the royal family to be bullied?
If that's the case, then which minister in the world would dare to do his job conscientiously?
The head of the Imperial Household Department was a shrewd man. He initially refused Rong Xi's request because he was waiting for Rong Xi to bring up the fact that Fei Yanggu was Kangxi's savior.
Unfortunately, Rong Xi refused to let him have his way.
Is your rambling, disjointed argument adequate?
full!
Even if it's not sufficient, it must be sufficient!
Some things must be done just right; if you go too far, you'll ruin the original purpose.
Rong Xi even suspected that the actions of the head of the Imperial Household Department might have been authorized by Emperor Kangxi. If it was indeed authorized by Kangxi, then she couldn't bring up Fei Yanggu's life-saving grace to Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi remembered this life-saving grace. He believed that repaying the kindness was the right thing to do and that he should never forget it.
However, if Rong Xi were to use this as leverage to demand repayment, the meaning would completely change. Kangxi could then simply erase this favor from his mind.
Rong Xi understood this kind of scheming.
Rong Xi had initially thought that palace intrigue skills were unnecessary in the Qing Dynasty, a place of cultivation. However, after meeting Consort Li and Consort Song, she realized that even in the Qing court, where cultivation was paramount, palace intrigue skills were still essential.
As for Rong Xi's statement that the Fourth Prince might inherit the throne, it was just a casual remark.
After all, the conflict between Kangxi and the Crown Prince should already be showing signs. Others might not have noticed yet, but the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department couldn't be unaware of anything. Otherwise, he would be quite incompetent.
"Master, you're not really going to take this Foundation Establishment Pill yourself, are you?"
Granny Xiang suddenly spoke up, looking at Rong Xi, "This servant has connections that can get Foundation Establishment Pills sold for at least 50,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
"Fifty thousand!"
Rong Xi's eyes lit up.
However, we still need to think about this.
Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely valuable. For most people, they are indispensable for truly embarking on the path of cultivation!
Absolutely essential!
Thinking of this, Rong Xi looked at the magpie and saw the little girl's longing expression. But when Rong Xi looked over, she quickly lowered her head.
"This matter is not urgent!"
Rong Xi was a woman of her word; she had promised Xi Que that she would also let her embark on the path of cultivation. She couldn't sell all the Foundation Establishment Pills; she had to leave three for this girl.
Of course, if you can buy Foundation Building Pills cheaply from other channels, then you can naturally resell them to make a profit.
"Granny Xiang, is your source reliable?"
"Reporting to Madam, he is very reliable! This servant can vouch for him with my life!"
"My lady, I also have my own channels!"
Granny Rui then spoke up.
Six Foundation Establishment Pills, and they are the highest-grade Foundation Establishment Pills produced by the Imperial Household Department. If handled well, a single Foundation Establishment Pill could even sell for tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
If one is willing to spend some time going to those remote places, the Foundation Establishment Pills can yield huge profits.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang did not hide anything from Rong Xi, and gave a detailed explanation of the rarity of the Foundation Building Pill on the market.
"In that case, we cannot sell the Foundation Establishment Pill for the time being!"
Rong Xi pondered for a long time before slowly asking, "How do your channels compare to those of the Prince?"
"..."
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were speechless.
Their so-called channels are nothing more than connections with some middlemen. The middlemen are bound to make a profit, and the women who go through this also benefit from it.
If the Fourth Prince were to sell these Foundation Establishment Pills, he could send them directly to the major auction houses in the capital. Apart from paying a small cut to the auction houses, the main profits would be in his own hands.
"Princess Consort, may we let Prince know about this?"
Granny Rui asked cautiously.
Rong Xi chuckled and said, "Husband and wife are one. Is there anything that I, the Princess Consort, cannot let the Prince know?"
Rong Xi didn't fully trust Granny Rui and Granny Xiang. They were sent by the Fourth Prince, and she didn't believe they would be so devoted to her. In her mind, they had probably already told the Fourth Prince about what she was doing.
"It's settled then!"
Rong Xi laughed heartily, "I'll leave three Foundation Establishment Pills for my magpie to use when it establishes its foundation. The remaining three will be given to Prince to sell. Hmm, it should be very profitable!"
"master?!"
When Magpie heard Rong Xi's words, she was completely dumbfounded.
Three Foundation Establishment Pills!
Although she had never practiced cultivation herself, she had heard many people talk about the basics of cultivation. Many palace maids in this palace could cultivate, but many of them were stuck at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage, mainly because Foundation Establishment Pills were hard to come by.
"Don't get too excited, you have to work hard."
Rong Xi smiled slightly, "It's just three Foundation Establishment Pills, don't be too touched!"
The magpie stared at Rong Xi, speechless.
Rong Xi, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm.
Three Foundation Establishment Pills might indeed be incredibly precious to others, but for her, they were nothing. Once she had enough spirit stones, she would throw them into the semi-abandoned cultivation cave and plant various spiritual herbs there.
With the elixir of immortality, the Foundation Establishment Pill?
These are just low-level pills she uses to practice with. She refines one batch and throws it away, as long as she's happy!
