In the Yanx Palace, Concubine Hui thought that Kangxi was coming to see her. She was about to say a few words for Yinzhi, but Kangxi directly said that he was going to the side hall to see Concubine Liang.
When Concubine Hui heard the news that she was going to see Concubine Liang, she was completely stunned. Why did he think of going to see her out of the blue?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liang is ill again. Please bring a doctor with you when you go. She has been bedridden for years, so please don't let her illness get to you."
Although she said so, Concubine Hui was unhappy in her heart. She had already come to the Yanx Palace, so how could she go to see Concubine Liang?
To her, Concubine Liang was just a sickly person and it was not worth it for Kangxi to visit her in person.
"No problem, I'll go see her. After all, she is Xiao Ba's biological mother. I want to make use of Xiao Ba, so I can't let her sit in the position of noble lady forever."
Concubine Hui was confused. What did this mean? Was Concubine Liang going to be promoted?
How could this be possible? If she were promoted, she would definitely have to move out of the Yanx Palace.
She was still hoping that Yinsi could help her realize her ambitions. If Concubine Liang moved out, what would happen to her in the future?
However, she didn't dare to say such words casually. Kangxi didn't like people who were too thoughtful. If she let him realize her ambition, she was afraid that she would lose favor.
It's such a pity. Concubine Liang had lived in the Yanx Palace for so many years, but she had the possibility of leaving. It's really wrong.
"I will go with you. After all, you are from my palace, so I should go and take a look."
"Okay."
In the side hall, when Concubine Liang learned that Kangxi was coming to see her, she immediately pretended to be weak and unable to take care of herself.
I heard that Yinsi is currently very favored by him. Is he going to promote him when he comes to see me?
She felt excited at the thought that she would soon be promoted to a concubine or a princess and leave the Yanx Palace.
After waiting for so many years, the time has finally come for her to become famous because of her son. When the time comes, she will definitely make Mu Sili look good.
She is Yinsi's mother, so it is her duty to set some rules for her.
If she disobeyed, she would label her as unfilial to see if she dared to disobey her again.
"The Emperor and Consort Hui have arrived."
Why is Concubine Hui here? Is she worried that she will really be promoted to a concubine, so she came to stop it? What a malicious mind! She can't bear to see her regain favor.
It doesn’t matter. Even if she comes, what can she do? If the emperor is determined to restore her favor, nothing she says will be of any use.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty and Sister Huifei. Please forgive me for not being able to kneel because I am not feeling well. Kangxi's first reaction when he saw her was that she was really weak and unable to take care of herself. No wonder Huifei said she wanted to come with him. He was really worried that she would pass her illness on to him.
"I just came to take a look. Don't worry too much. Take good care of yourself. You can be a Mam in a few months. Don't cause trouble for Xiao Ba."
Concubine Liang had been looking forward to it for many years, but she didn't expect that she only received a word of comfort from Kangxi, and didn't get any substantial rewards. Her face looked a little ugly.
Kangxi didn't understand what she meant and just thought that she was pale because she was in poor health.
"Since you are not feeling well, I will not disturb your rest. Let's go back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Kangxi just left like that without even looking at Concubine Liang before leaving. This made Concubine Hui, who had seen the whole thing, almost laugh out loud.
She thought the emperor would show her some grace for Yinsi's sake, but she didn't expect that she was overthinking it.
"Since the emperor has told you to take good care of yourself, then you should recuperate well in the side hall. Don't go out unless necessary, lest your condition become worse."
Concubine Liang gritted her teeth and said, "I know this," and then she fainted.
"She is really weak. Take good care of your young lady. She is Xiao Ba's mother after all. She is working for the Emperor. I cannot treat her badly."
"Don't worry, my lady. I will take good care of you."
Not being suppressed by Concubine Liang, Concubine Hui was in a good mood, and her attitude towards her daughter-in-law also improved a lot.
In the prince's residence, Yinsi told Mu Sili that he was going to collect the debt. He thought she would be worried, but she was not worried at all.
"If I weren't pregnant, I would really like to go with you to watch the fun. In order for my plan to recover the debt to be implemented smoothly, why don't you go to Prince An's mansion first?"
Yinsi understood what she meant. She was afraid that he would run into obstacles elsewhere, so she asked him to start from Prince An's Mansion first, so that he would not fail at the first attempt.
"Are you sure you want me to start from Prince An's Mansion? Aren't you afraid that my grandfather and uncles will attack me?"
"What are you talking about? Grandfather loves me the most, and my uncle can't find out anything. If they knew that this was arranged by the emperor, they would definitely not make things difficult for you.
If you are truly worried, I will write a letter to Grandfather and tell him the truth. He will surely not make things difficult for you."
Yinsi looked at him with amusement. It didn't matter even if she didn't write the letter. Yue Le and the others didn't dare to make things difficult for him.
But since she said she would help him, he should of course fulfill her wish. This would be beneficial to their relationship, so why not do it?
"Thank you, Madam, for speaking up for me."
At Prince An's Mansion, after receiving Mu Sili's letter, Yue Le immediately ordered Yun Duan to prepare the owed money. She was right, they were members of the royal family and should set an example.
To put it bluntly, Kangxi's move was to save their face. Otherwise, if he had gone directly to their house to collect the debt, they would have been the ones who would have been embarrassed.
He felt a little melancholy when talking about this. Why had he been so obsessed as to go to the treasury with those ministers to borrow silver?
Prince An's mansion is not so poor that it cannot make ends meet. If there had been no issue of borrowing silver, he wouldn't have been so desperate to be chased by someone to collect the debt.
"Father, didn't Li'er say that we are the first family and should set an example. Could it be that you are reluctant to part with the money?"
Yunduan’s words gave Yue Le a headache. How could he have given birth to such a bastard son? It was better to have a granddaughter who knew how to feel sorry for him.
"Shut up, my king! The Eighth Prince will be here soon and I'm going to have a good talk with him. Don't interrupt me."
Yunduan felt aggrieved. He had done nothing wrong, so why was his father so mean to him?
Ever since Li'er got married, his position as the crown prince has become increasingly unstable. He has to find an opportunity to complain to Li'er.
"My son knows."
When Yinsi brought Yin'er and Yin'e to collect the debt, Prince An's Mansion cooperated so well that Yin'er and Yin'e almost thought that recovering the debt would be an easy task.
The entire process of recovering the outstanding silver lasted for a month. Kangxi really did not expect that they were so capable that they recovered most of the silver owed to the national treasury in just one month.
When he was about to reward them, he suddenly found that they were not as happy as he had imagined. He looked at Yinsi with some confusion.
"Why do you look unhappy when the job is done? Is there something I don't know?"
