Mu Sili didn't expect that Yinzhen could be so tough. She was happy in her heart and expressed her support for Yinzhen.
"Your Majesty, you have truly impressed me today. I almost thought you would give in to my dear brother's words and continue lending him money."
"I'm not stupid. My brother hasn't paid me back for borrowing money many times, and now he wants to borrow money from me again. I've already said that the finances of the mansion are managed by the wife. If I want to borrow money, I must wait for the wife's consent."
"Looking at the starling like that, I'm afraid he's going to hold a grudge against us. What are you going to do, sir?"
"If Big Brother really holds a grudge against us, then he is not worthy of that position. However, I have noticed that the capital is full of corruption and is not a good place.
In a couple of years, let's go overseas and see how other countries are developing."
"Alright, if we happen to take a fancy to that ungoverned land, we can take it down and make it our territory. I heard there are many islands over there, and they are good for both offense and defense."
"Fujin, you don't want me to build an empire on my own, do you? I'm afraid I can't do that!"
Mu Sili blinked innocently and said nothing. Seeing this, Yinzhen really wanted to slap himself. Why was he talking so much? Now that the concubine was in the mood, what should he do?
"If Fu Jin really wants it, I'm not against it, but I can't do without this person and money. Fu Jin, do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course I understand. Master, don't worry. The people have already been arranged and are just waiting for your order. As for the silver, will I be shortchanged by you?"
Yinzhen didn't know how he walked out of the main courtyard, but he knew he had dug his own grave.
"Why did you even think about going abroad and visiting other countries for no reason? It's really a sin!"
Jiang Baifu looked at him with great sympathy but did not respond. After all, he really couldn't respond to what was said. He also didn't know what was in the wife's mind, actually encouraging her master to conquer the world.
However, if the Lord really conquered a kingdom, wouldn't he become the Grand Steward of the Imperial Court? That would be much higher than the status of this little eunuch now.
As he thought about it, Jiang Baifu actually began to look forward to it.
"Master, I think Fu Jin's idea is a good one. The atmosphere in the capital is getting more and more weird. You don't like to quarrel with your brothers too much. It would be better for you to go out and avoid it.
As for what Fu Jin said about conquering the world, doesn't that mean you have to meet the right person to achieve it? If you don't meet the right person, it's not your fault, right? "
Yin'er's eyes lit up. As Jiang Baifu said, it was not so easy to conquer the country, so he really took it as a joke.
Half a year later, Mousse Li gave birth.
The delivery was very sudden. It happened on the way to the palace to pay respects, so Mu Sili was unable to enter the palace and instead went back home to give birth.
"What's going on? Why did she suddenly go into labor? And she was on her way to the palace. Did she run into any trouble?"
"Don't worry, mother. Nothing happened. The children were anxious to see the world, so she gave birth suddenly. Look, they are both little princes."
When Concubine Yi arrived at Yin'er's house, Mu Sili had already given birth to two little princes. Seeing that mother and children were safe, Concubine Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now is a time of great uncertainty. It's a good time for you to give birth. Just stay at home and recuperate. Don't worry about the emperor. Mother is here for you."
"I understand, my daughter-in-law. Mother must have worked hard coming all the way here. Why don't you go and rest for a while before returning to the palace?"
"No, as long as you're okay, mother, look at our Second and Third Princes. You and Xiaojiu are both outstanding in appearance. I think our youngest prince must be very outstanding in appearance as well."
"Of course, but I haven't seen the two children yet. Why don't you take them out and show them to me?"
"Alright, let's wait for Mother to take a look first."
Concubine Yi looked at the baby in the cradle with joy, but when she saw it, she was stunned.
"Eleven, eleven, it's my eleven."
"What is mother talking about?"
"The Second Prince and his Eleventh Uncle are practically cut from the same cloth. Little Ninth Lady, Mother has seen Eleventh again. Is this an illusion? Mother is thinking about Eleventh so much that she's hallucinating."
Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, Concubine Yi fainted.
After Concubine Yi woke up, she went to see her two children despite all the advice. When she saw her grandson who looked exactly like her deceased son, she shed tears silently.
"It must be that Eleven couldn't bear to see Mother so distressed about him, so he came back. Little Nine Lady, Mother thanks you, thank you for bearing children for Little Nine."
"Mother, does he really look this much like my Eleventh Brother?"
"Like, when Eleven was not well, it was Mother who took care of him day and night and kept him alive. Even though he has been gone for so many years, Mother still remembers his face."
"Then I will bring them to the palace to see you often. Please don't complain about my frequent visits."
"That won't happen. Mother would love it."
Suddenly, the regret in her heart was resolved, and Concubine Yi became bright and beautiful, which made Kangxi stunned.
"Liang Jiugong, what happened to Concubine Yi? Little Jiufujin is giving birth. Why did she go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and come back looking so different?"
"I heard that the Second Prince, born to the Ninth Concubine, looks very much like the Eleventh Prince, the youngest. The Eleventh Prince has always been a source of worry for the Empress. If this problem is eradicated, the patient will naturally recover."
Upon hearing the news of his deceased son, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh.
Since the age difference, the only child who was not raised was the sixth son Yinzuo and the eleventh son Yinzhen. When the eleventh son died, he felt very sad.
But he is a king first and a father second. No matter how sad he is, he cannot show it. It is fine like this now.
"Since Concubine Xiaojiu has given birth to twins, I should also give them names. The second prince will be named Hongyang, and the third prince will be named Hongdan."
"Yes, I will go and announce the decree right away."
"No need. Let's announce it at the Full Moon Banquet."
A month later, at the twins' full-month banquet, Kangxi officially named the two children Hongyang and Hongdan. As soon as the names were announced, several older princes, including the crown prince, looked at Yinzhen with strange eyes.
"Brother Jiu, you saw it, their eyes were really creepy. It's just a name, but they're already jealous."
Yinzhen smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had to go on this overseas trip.
"Tenth brother, I'm planning to take your ninth sister-in-law and the children overseas. Do you want to come with us?"
Yin was surprised. Why was he going overseas out of the blue? Could it be that there was no place for Ninth Brother in the Qing Dynasty?
"Things are going on in the capital, and I'm feeling pretty depressed. It just so happens that Madam Fu wants to go out for a walk. Since Ninth Brother has invited me, how can I not go?"
The two men discussed and prepared to leave the Qing Dynasty, and those who intended to seize the throne also sent people to monitor them.
