Chapter 182 She Has the Greatest Contribution
All we can say is that the Fourteenth Prince was implicated by his mother.
At the end of the Mao hour, all the busy preparations in the Imperial Garden had been completed, and court officials, ladies of the royal family, and members of other countries had begun to enter the palace one after another.
Wen Yao went to Yikun Palace early, and followed Concubine Yi with the Fifth Lady. The Fifth Lady looked at Wen Yao and whispered, "I heard from the Fifth Master that there will probably be a reward for you this time. The cowpox incident has spread among the people. After all, the prince's wife has been vaccinated, so it must be a good thing." She lowered her head and lowered her voice, "I think Fourteenth Brother has lost face this time. Concubine De wanted to frame you, but she didn't expect to lose more than she gained."
"Mother Consort De is too worried about Fourteenth Brother's health. Fourteenth Brother is also going to get the vaccination after the birthday banquet of the Emperor's father." Wen Yao turned to look at the Fifth Lady and pretended to be stupid: "Fifth Sister-in-law, did you hear from the Fifth Master that the Emperor's father will reward us this time? Is it about the discovery of cowpox? But the Emperor's father has already been vaccinated last time?"
"You," Fifth Lady tapped Wen Yao's forehead, then smiled and said, "I asked Fifth Master to find out. After all, as the first group of royal family members to be officially vaccinated, how could you just let it go? Fifth Master found out from the Royal Madam that you will indeed be rewarded. Even if you are not rewarded this time, you have already gained a good reputation by taking risks for the people, which is much better than anything else."
"Thank you, Fifth Sister-in-law. You are so kind. You even asked for me. I didn't know this and didn't care. I just felt that since I discovered it, I would feel guilty if I didn't go. Although the Emperor said that vaccination is dangerous, I still want to be a person on my own," Wen Yao said with a look of compassion. "This time, an elderly person died from the vaccination. The vaccination team needs to conduct another detailed test before continuing the vaccination. Fourteenth Brother will have to wait a few months if he wants to be vaccinated."
Concubine Yi listened to the conversation between her two daughters-in-law behind her, especially Wen Yao's words, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She was really good at fooling people, just like Xiaojiu!
Every time Xiaojiu tries to fool the fifth brother, he ends up making him lose his way. The same goes for Wen Yao. She also fools the fifth brother’s wife and makes her lose her way!
The Fifth Prince and his wife were still unaware of it, and Concubine Yi would not remind them, because it was useless to do so!
Wen Yao looked at the Fifth Lady with a happy expression on her face, "Fifth Sister-in-law, I heard that Fifth Brother promised you that if there is a concubine's son in the backyard, he will give him to you to raise directly?"
The Fifth Lady had a calm expression and smiled slowly, "A concubine in the backyard is pregnant, and the Fifth Master told me that if it is a prince, I should raise him, and he could be registered under my name. I did not agree, and I thought I could not favor one over the other, so I discussed it with the Fifth Master, and from now on, all illegitimate sons and daughters will be brought to the main courtyard after they are one month old, and raised by their biological mothers after they are ten years old. The Fifth Master agreed."
Wen Yao was not surprised. Although the Fifth Sister-in-law was a little narrow-minded and did not do things in a very authentic way, she was actually very smart. With this operation, the Fifth Sister-in-law would gain a good reputation, and her illegitimate sons and daughters would be close to her. They would also be less harmonious about the issue of the legitimate son, that is, the prince, and would not unite!
In a word, the Fifth Sister-in-law has everyone under control. The only thing about this operation is that she herself is a little tired. As long as those princes and princesses survive, the Fifth Sister-in-law will be fine.
"The child is so young, has Fifth Sister-in-law hired a nanny?" Wen Yao looked at Fifth Lady and asked.
"It was my ninth brother's wife who cared about me. I told my mother, and she gave me people. I also went to the Cining Palace to talk to the Royal Madam, and she gave me a lot of people and arranged them in the mansion. There are even Royal Madam's people in every courtyard, so nothing will go wrong," said the Fifth Lady in a steady voice, more at ease than before when she was timid.
Wen Yao felt that when she saw Wu Fu Jin again this time, she had really changed. The change was obvious. As expected, women who didn't want love would be more confident. "Wu Fu has changed a lot."
The Fifth Lady smiled, "Really? I feel more comfortable now." Has she changed? She has indeed changed. She no longer loves the Fifth Master and has completely taken on what a concubine should do. Instead, she has won the Fifth Master's respect and their relationship has become more harmonious.
But that was all, but it was enough for her, because she had completely controlled the people in the backyard. With the addition of the nanny and the people sent by her mother, she felt more clear-headed.
"Fifth sister-in-law must also be careful about the counterattack of the Liujia clan. If one of these concubines has a miscarriage, it will be bad for Fifth Sister-in-law," Wen Yao reminded Fifth Lady in her ear.
The Fifth Lady was full of gratitude and approached Wen Yao, "I'm telling you this. The Royal Madam also reminded me. I specially arranged for the Royal Madam and my mother's people to be with the concubine. They are all people who know medical skills, and the palace has also been thoroughly investigated."
After a pause, the Fifth Lady looked at Wen Yao deeply, raised her hand and held Wen Yao's hand, "I won't hide it from you that you are with your ninth brother's wife. In fact, I hope that the Liujia family can take action and I can catch them in time." She didn't know why her ninth brother's wife could make her let down her guard like this.
Concubine Yi's eyes flickered. Mrs. Laowu's wife could indeed get along well with Xiaojiu. These two were very thoughtful. Every word of concern touched Mrs. Laowu's wife's heart and made her let down her guard unconsciously. But what did she do?
She just talked a lot, and she is never the one doing the work, but you feel that she has made a great contribution.
For example, when it came to opening a shop with Yinzhen, she seemed to be everywhere, but Concubine Yi had someone check carefully and found out that Yinzhen was in charge of designing the bags, Faka and others were in charge of the promotion, and the one in charge was Yinzhen!
But what did she do? She did it. She was in charge of checking the accounts. The key was to send the elderly Aunt Cui He to do the checking!
Wen Yao knew that Concubine Yi was not only complaining about her in her heart, but even if she knew it, she would still go up to Concubine Yi and ask for her praise.
"What if we can't catch them? Don't think like that," Wen Yao patted Fifth Lady's hand with her other hand, "Who can guarantee that there won't be a chance of that happening? Fifth Lady, as long as you protect the concubine this time, those voices will disappear. You can't make any mistakes here."
"Someone told me that if Liu Jia made a mistake, the Fifth Master would lose her place in his heart. You are the only one who told me that," the Fifth Lady looked at Wen Yao, and after feeling a little touched, she pulled Wen Yao and followed Concubine Shang Yi closely. "Come to the mansion when you have time. I can treat you well this time and take you for a good tour. Now we are at the mansion, let's follow Mother."
When Concubine Yi arrived, Concubine Rong and Concubine De had already arrived. They exchanged greetings as they walked, and it was not until Concubine Hui arrived that Concubine Yi sat down.
To the right of Concubine Yi is Concubine Rong, and following behind Concubine Rong is naturally the Third Lady, who happens to be next to Wen Yao. This is not the final seat, but just the current seat. If they were the last to sit down, Wen Yao and the others would follow behind their respective husbands.
