Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 193: Step by Step, Yin Zhen 7
On this day, Feng Xi was staying in the mansion to take care of her pregnancy. Yin Zhen told her that the Eighth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourth Prince were all competing for Maertai Ruoxi. Kangxi was furious and transferred her to the Yangxin Palace as a tea maid.
Feng Xi smiled. The luck of a time-traveling woman should not be underestimated. She was not beheaded, but if it were someone else, their life would probably be in jeopardy. Yin Zhen looked at his dazed wife in his arms and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Feng Xi: "I was thinking that I haven't been to the palace to see my mother for a while, so I plan to go to the palace to have lunch with her tomorrow."
Yinzhen thought about it and realized that the emperor would go to the Ministry of War to look into the military reforms tomorrow and might not be able to accompany his wife to the palace, so he said guiltily: "Xixi, I'm sorry. I have something to do tomorrow and may not be able to accompany you. Please take a few more servants with you and be careful!"
Feng Xi leaned into his arms and said, "Okay, I understand!"
The next day, the Hesheli Mansion delivered a world map obtained from Westerners. Feng Xi put it away. She planned to take it with the glass improvement recipe she had prepared earlier, and prepare to go to the palace to see Kangxi and give it to him. So she took Chunhua Qiuyue and the cakes to the palace. Outside the Yangxin Palace, Li Dequan was surprised to see the Fourteenth Concubine arrive, so he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the Fourteenth Concubine!"
Feng Xi: "Eunuch Li, there's no need to be so polite. Is the Emperor here? I've prepared some different pastries for him to try. This little box is for Eunuch Li. You've worked hard serving the Emperor!"
Li Dequan hurriedly took the box and said happily: "It's not hard for me, Madam, please go in by yourself! The emperor is reviewing the memorials!" Feng Xi nodded and walked in with the palace maid.
Kangxi saw Feng Xi put down the pen in her hand and said: "How come the Fourteenth Lady has time to come to see the Emperor today?" Feng Xi asked Chunhua and others to bring out the cakes for Kangxi to taste. She said: "It's because my daughter-in-law is pregnant and her appetite is not good. The chef from Jiangnan hired by the Fourteenth Master made it. I thought it was good and brought some to the Emperor and my mother." Kangxi pinched a piece and tasted it. It was indeed good, better than what Yu Yu made in the imperial kitchen. After eating a few pieces, he stopped and said: "Tell me, you wouldn't come to me if you had nothing to do. Did Yinzhen bully you?"
Feng Xi smiled and said, "No, Father!" Then she asked Qiuyue to take the prepared things to Kangxi and said, "Father, here is a world map. It's not very detailed, but it's a rough idea. The other one is a recipe for improving Liuli."
Kangxi took a look and said, "Why didn't you keep the improved recipe for Liuli for yourself? You should know that the annual expenses of Prince Xun's Mansion are not small. Yinzhen's salary is not enough! You have a child now, and you need to raise him..."
Feng Xi smiled and said, "I don't lack the recipe, but I lack the backing... I'm afraid my daughter-in-law's business will be snatched away before it's even opened for a few days!" Kangxi smiled and said, "You! When you make money, I'll give you 20% of it. Don't think it's too little. 50% will be used to fill the national treasury, which is empty!"
Feng Xi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you can let the Ninth Prince handle this matter. He has a certain talent for business. Everyone in the capital knows the God of Wealth, the Ninth Prince. Your Majesty, please don't feel embarrassed often. You must know that everything in the Qing Dynasty cannot be separated from money, so you can consider it. As for whether the map is true or false, you can also send someone to sea to investigate." Then she left the Yangxin Palace with her maid and went to the Yongshou Palace.
Seeing her coming, Concubine De said, "I heard Xixi entered the palace early in the morning. Why did she come only now? Are you hungry?" Feng Xi asked Chunhua to take out the cakes and said, "This is a cake made in my house. Mother, please try it. I got an improved recipe for Liuli and sent it to the Emperor. Mother, please don't be reluctant to give it away. Only by giving can you gain."
Defei was a little uncomfortable at first, but then she thought that if she gave the child to Kangxi, he would remember the good things they had done together. So, she said, "How could Mother blame you? I'll have the servants serve dinner, and we can eat and talk."
Feng Xi ate and said, "The Emperor said that if Liuli returns, he will give me 20% of her earnings, and I will give 10% to Mother!" After hearing this, Concubine De quickly said, "I don't want it. You keep it for Fourteen. We'll need to raise children in the future."
Feng Xi said seriously, "Mother, I know that the Uya family borrowed money from the Ministry of Revenue. I hope you can persuade them to pay it back. I heard about the disaster in the northwest. The emperor may ask someone to collect the debt. If they can't pay it back by then, what do you think will happen? Don't feel sorry for the money. Think about Fourteen..." After hearing this, Defei said, "Mother, I know. I'll let Zhuxi pass on the news later..."
After Feng Xi finished eating, she put down her chopsticks, wiped her lips and said, "If it's not enough, mother can send me a message and I'll think of a way..."
Defei touched her head and said, "Good child, don't worry about it. Mother knows what to do. Go back slowly later!" Feng Xi nodded and left with Chunhua.
Kangxi ordered the ninth prince, Yintang, to the Ministry of Revenue and gave him the recipe for the improved glass, asking him to handle these matters. Fifty percent of the profits went to the state treasury, 150 percent went to him, percent went to Kangxi's private treasury, and the remaining percent went to Feng Xi. In less than two months, Yintang had earned million taels of silver and entered the palace with the banknotes.
Here, the Eighth Prince heard that the recipe was developed by Feng Xi, so he asked his wife to host a banquet for Feng Xi, hoping that she could give him a recipe, so that he would not have to worry about money. Here, Yinzhen came back from court and gave Feng Xi the silver note given to him by Kangxi and said, "Here, this is given to you by the Emperor." Feng Xi looked at the 30 taels of silver note in her hand and happily put it in her vault. Then she said, "Today, I received an invitation from the Eighth Prince, asking me to go to appreciate the flowers tomorrow. I guess this flower is not so easy to appreciate. I'm more than five months pregnant and I don't want to go!" After hearing this, Yinzhen realized that it was the Eighth Prince who ordered it. He was jealous of Liuli's profits, but the Emperor was behind it. So he kissed Feng Xi and said, "I will accompany you tomorrow, and I will go back directly from now on! I will take care of anything!"
Feng Xi leaned against Yin Zhen's arms and said, "I heard that Maertai Ruoxi has a good relationship with the princes. You must not get too close to her."
Yinzhen hugged her gently and said, "Why, Xixi, are you jealous? Don't worry, I won't..."
Feng Xi leaned against his chest and said, "No, she is serving in front of the emperor now, and she is also a palace maid. If you get too close to her, the emperor will think that you are spying on the emperor's women and whereabouts. The prince's behavior has become more and more unreasonable in recent years, and I am afraid..."
Yinzhen said: "Don't worry, I will protect you and your mother..."
