Hongqing was a good person, but it was a pity that he died young. If he could save Hongqing, he would have won the support of the Third Prince's faction.
At least Yinzhi will not confront Yin'er. One less opponent is always better than one more.
Concubine Yi summoned Mu Sili to Yiku Palace again. This time, Mu Sili changed into a dress she bought at Wanbao Pavilion. Coincidentally, Yinzhen was there too, so the two of them met officially.
"Your servant pays respects to Concubine Yi and Prince Nine."
"Hurry up and get up! This dress and the jewelry you're wearing today make you look even more stunning. I have to admit that I'm completely defeated by your beauty."
"Your Majesty is always joking with your servants. I heard that these dresses were made in Ninth Prince's shop. Didn't Ninth Prince prepare a few for you?"
Concubine Yi instantly looked at her beloved youngest son with murderous eyes, "You little Jiu, you actually used the things from your shop to honor your own mother!"
Yinzhen looked at Mu Sili in disbelief. How could she just sell herself out? The income from the Wanbao Pavilion had to be used to support Bage!
"If you like it, I'll have someone bring some in for you. I don't know which one you like, so it's hard to choose. How could I not honor you with something nice?"
"I hope what you said is true, but this incident has reminded me that you have many businesses, and it's time to tell me what they are. I don't want to have to pay for things when I buy things in my son's store.
You know, it wasn't easy for Mother to raise you and your fifth brother. Now that you're old enough to start a family and build a career, it's time for you to show your filial piety to Mother."
Yinzhen looked at his mother who kept crying poor with a dark face. He really couldn't understand what Kangxi saw in her. With this kind of personality, he actually spoiled her for ten or twenty years!
"Why, you don't like it?"
"No! It's just that, after all, Dong'e Gege is my son's designated wife, so I should tell her about this, right?"
Yinzhen thought that Concubine Yi would not continue to talk about this in front of Mu Sili, but he did not expect that when Concubine Yi looked at Mu Sili, Mu Sili would directly smile.
"Ninth Prince, what you said is not true. If I really marry you, I will be the daughter-in-law of Concubine Yi. It is the duty of a daughter-in-law to respect her mother-in-law.
Besides, it doesn't make sense to spend money to buy your own property. If someone doesn't know, they might think it's a property registered under your name by some big shot.
Rest assured, Concubine Yi, after I marry the Ninth Prince, I will be filial to you and His Majesty. Thank you for your care these days, and I am very happy in Chuxiu Palace."
"It's all my job, no need to thank me. We'll be family soon. But don't be polite to me. I don't like it."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
Yinzhen watched his future daughter-in-law and his own mother planning his property in front of him. He really wanted to turn around and leave, but the way Concubine Yi glared at him from time to time made him dare not run away. It was too difficult!
A month passed quickly and the selection was finally over. Before leaving the palace, the Third Lady came to visit.
"Li'er, Hongqing's illness has been completely cured. Thank you, sister. If you need me in the future, please let me know."
"We're family, why say that?"
After the two looked at each other, Mu Sili prepared to leave the palace. She had been in the palace for many days and missed home very much. After she left, the Third Lady set off for Zhongcui Palace. Rong Fei came to ask her about Hongqing, so she had better go there quickly.
In Dong'e Mansion, Zhu Liang was talking about his sister with his father, mother and brothers.
"So you mean Concubine Yi likes your sister very much?"
"Of course, my sister is pretty and has a good temper, who wouldn't like her?"
"That's true, but why hasn't your sister come back yet? It's almost noon!"
"Don't worry, Father. I'll go check. Maybe he got delayed before leaving the palace. Otherwise, he should have arrived by now."
"Go and have a look."
Zhu Liang rode his horse towards the palace gate. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw his own carriage still waiting there.
"Gege hasn't left the palace yet?"
"Yes, Princess Borjigit sent someone to tell us earlier that the Third Lady wants to speak to our Princess. She won't be out for a while, but judging by the time, she should be here soon."
"Brother, why did you come to pick me up in person? Did Ama ask you to come?"
"Isn't it that we've been waiting for you for a long time and you haven't come back yet? Ama and E'niang are a little worried, so we asked big brother to come and see what's going on."
"It's okay. My cousin came to talk to me before I left the palace. Brother, Hongqing is fine now."
"Really? That's great! Your cousin must be so happy, right?"
"Yes, this is a good thing, big brother, let's go back and don't let our father and mother worry too much."
"Let's go."
After returning to Dong E's mansion, Mu Sili told Dong E Qishi and others in detail what happened in the palace. After hearing her words, they were all a little unhappy.
Guo Luoluo is indeed a bit arrogant. Even Yue Le is gone, so why is she still so arrogant?
Yue Le is also a person with a muddled mind. He spoils the daughter of a concubine to such an extent that she is ignorant of the limitations of heaven and earth and dares to say whatever she wants. Does she really think that the Dong E family is easy to bully?
"Don't worry, Li'er. Tomorrow, Father will unite with the other families to impeach Prince An's Mansion. Let's see how she can continue to show you respect without the support of Prince An's Mansion."
"That's right, you really think our Dong'e Mansion is easy to bully!"
"It's okay, she's just an orphan, don't worry about it. I told you this because I want you to be careful not to make close friends with people from Prince An's Mansion.
This Dong E Gege relied on the fact that she was the designated Eighth Concubine and looked down on her daughter and other concubines. She did not know that the Eighth Prince was of humble origin. If it were not for the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, few people would look down on her.
However, the Borjigit Princess from Monan Mongolia is someone I can really connect with. The first time my daughter met her, she spoke up to defend her because of the Tenth Prince."
"He is indeed someone you can make close friends with. Your residences are adjacent to each other, so you can visit more often in the future."
"My daughter knows."
Three days later, the imperial edict granting the marriage was delivered to Dong'e Mansion along with the reward, and the wedding date was set for March of the next year.
"Li'er, your wedding is about eight months away. The Ninth Prince just sent Jiang Baifu over and told him that he has already had the wedding dress made for you, so you can just wait and get married.
If you feel bored staying at home, ask Yanzhi to go to the Ninth Prince's mansion to find him. He will take you out for a walk. Princess Borjigit also lives outside the palace, so you will have company."
"Okay, daughter, I understand."
Three months later, Yinsi's wedding date arrived first. Mu Sili, the quasi-ninth wife, and Princess Borjigit, the quasi-tenth wife, also attended their wedding.
