Chapter 91 Follow-up 2
Kangxi naturally heard Yuying's thoughts, and a trace of helplessness flashed through his heart, but he really didn't want to continue this topic with Yuying.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and said, "How about I give Aying an imperial edict? The imperial edict should state that no matter what happens, Yuying can be spared from death three times with this imperial edict."
"Whether it's for Aying herself or Aying wants to save someone, I can agree to it."
"Really?" Yuying turned around.
Qingli could not come back, but with this imperial decree, at least she could ensure that the same thing would not happen a second time.
Yuying looked at Kangxi with suspicion. Is Kangxi so generous? After all, what Kangxi meant was that even if it was assassination or treason, it seemed that as long as she showed this imperial edict, she could pardon it.
Could a petty-minded Kangxi agree to this?
"If Ah Ying doesn't believe me, I will draft an edict when I return to the Qianqing Palace today."
"Then Your Majesty, you should go now!" Yuying was afraid that Kangxi would go back on his word.
"This... is not urgent." Kangxi declined, "Wait until I see you drink the medicine before leaving."
"Your Majesty, don't you want to write? Are you lying to me?" Yuying looked at Kangxi sideways.
Just at this moment Liang Jiugong came in with medicine.
Kangxi took it and motioned Yuying to drink the medicine. "When Ah Ying finishes drinking it, you will know whether it is true or not."
Yuying was skeptical, but still drank it sip by sip.
"Okay, I've finished drinking! Your Majesty, you can go now!" Yuying couldn't help urging Kangxi before he put down the bowl.
When Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace, the first thing he did was to write the imperial edict promising Yuying and give it to Liang Jiugong, asking him to deliver it to the Yongshou Palace.
He will not go there today as he has other things to deal with. Kangxi's expression turned fierce.
When Kangxi was writing the imperial edict just now, Liang Jiugong was grinding ink beside him, so he naturally saw the contents of the imperial edict clearly. At this moment, he held the imperial edict tightly in his arms and walked very fast along the way.
These are three golden medals of immunity from death!
The Emperor's compensation for Concubine Jin's trouble was too generous. It seems that he will have to pay more attention to Concubine Jin in the future.
Yongshou Palace is not far from Qianqing Palace. Liang Jiugong came back not long after he left. Yuying thought that Kangxi had left something behind, but Liang Jiugong actually took out a scroll of imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Yuying carefully.
"Your Majesty, this is what the Emperor asked me to bring to you. Please keep it well."
Liang Jiugong couldn't help but say something more.
Yuying opened the imperial edict and was surprised to see that Kangxi actually did what he said. She then closed the edict happily and put it away carefully.
"Thank the Emperor for me."
After Liang Jiugong left the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi called Wei Zhu to him and ordered, "Go and investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs for me! Investigate everything from top to bottom, inside and out! I want to see how many people abuse their power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Wei Zhu stayed in the Qianqing Palace today and did not go to the Yongshou Palace, so naturally he didn't know what happened in the Yongshou Palace.
But seeing Kangxi's furious attitude, he suppressed his confusion and agreed to the matter first.
After leaving the palace, Wei Zhu called a group of eunuchs and told them what Kangxi had instructed them to do.
"Go check the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The eunuchs who were equally confused asked: "Eunuch Wei, what does this mean?"
"Check every aspect!"
Wei Zhu said this with absolute certainty.
The eunuchs who heard Wei Zhu's words sympathized with the Imperial Household Department for a second. As the emperor's eyes, they often ran around the palace and naturally saw a lot of the secrets of the Imperial Household Department.
Now that the Emperor wants to conduct a thorough investigation of the Imperial Household Department, I’m afraid many people will suffer.
Everyone in the Imperial Household Department had no idea that bad news was about to come.
Since a thorough investigation is required, it will definitely take time. In the short term, Kangxi cannot touch the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After receiving the imperial edict, Yuying turned her hostile towards Kangxi. Whenever Kangxi went to Yongshou Palace, he was not treated favorably. The more he was treated unfavorably, the more Kangxi wanted to go. Then, when he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he blamed the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the anger he had suffered from Yuying.
Now that Yuying has the imperial decree to exempt her from death, she has begun to let herself go.
Today, Kangxi hit a snag again.
Back at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi could no longer hold back, "Wei Zhu! Where is the thing I asked you to check?"
Wei Zhu knelt down quickly, "Your Majesty, please give me some more time!"
"Useless thing!" Kangxi kicked him and Wei Zhu rolled away.
"Why don't you go quickly? What's the point of me keeping you?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go and urge them right away!" Wei Zhu ran out crawling.
There was a violent storm in the Qianqing Palace, but there was peace in the Yongshou Palace.
Yuying collected Qingli's body, and with the help of people around her, she finally stopped thinking about Qingli all the time.
What she was worried about right now was another thing. When she was promoted, all the palaces sent gifts to her, and after she moved to another palace, all the palaces sent gifts again. In just a few days, Yuying received so many gifts that she was overwhelmed. No matter how thick-skinned Yuying was, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
But she couldn't return the gifts one by one, and was worried. At this time, Lu Chen suggested that she could hold a banquet to entertain everyone. It happened that she had originally planned to invite Concubine Yi and Concubine Xi to visit her after moving to the palace, but she just wanted to hold a bigger banquet and invite more people.
Yuying thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she led everyone in Yongshou Palace to prepare invitations and confirm the procedures for the banquet.
The originally private gathering turned into a formal banquet. Yuying was dazzled by the variety of invitations alone, not to mention the need to determine the dishes for the banquet, not only to pay attention to everyone's dietary taboos, but also to ensure that everyone was satisfied with the food.
Fortunately, Kangxi had already harvested a lot of peppers from the plantation, which was enough for Yuying to squander. Yuying planned to let everyone in the harem taste the peppers.
Not only that, but entertainment before and after the banquet is also necessary. You can't just invite people to eat a meal and then send them away.
"Your Majesty, before the banquet, you can invite all the ladies to Yuhua Pavilion to listen to a play." Qingdai suggested.
The concubines in the palace really loved listening to opera, and Yuying immediately thought that Qingdai's idea was a good one.
"But..." Yuying hesitated.
After all, operas were not often heard in the palace. Would it be okay for her to rashly invite people to watch operas? Wouldn't they say she was spoiled by her favor?
Qingdai interpreted Yuying's meaning from her expression, "My queen, your promotion to a concubine is a great joyous event, you should be happy about it. No one can say anything to us about this."
Qingdai felt that her own queen was still too timid. If someone else was loved so much by the emperor, their eyes would have been raised to the sky.
The activities before and after the banquet were confirmed. This time, Yuying had her own ideas without anyone telling her. She decided to promote mahjong and playing cards.
Finally, it was roughly confirmed, and the rest was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare.
After receiving the request from Yongshou Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to prepare for the banquet. After all, this was the first time that Yongshou Palace held a banquet, and everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very excited to do Yuying a good favor.
Little did they know that a storm was about to come.
