However, this is not a bad thing. As long as Prince Lian's ambition has not affected the prince, she still has the opportunity to remind the prince to pay more attention.
Thinking of this, Wanyue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still some worry on her face.
Shopkeeper Li saw that Wanyue's expression was a little solemn, and felt very uneasy. He was found, but he didn't know if he could get the ten thousand taels back.
After all, Shopkeeper Li never expected that this matter would be related to Prince Lian's Mansion.
After a long while, Wanyue saw that the look on Shopkeeper Li's face looked a little confused. It had been so long since the incident of the 10,000 taels of counterfeit banknotes, and now the matter had finally come to light. I think Shopkeeper Li had put a lot of thought into it.
Wanyue hesitated for a moment, fearing that it would be difficult to get the money back, but knowing that the matter was related to Prince Lian, the ten thousand taels of silver were not wasted.
Although shopkeeper Li was negligent, the 10,000 taels cannot be attributed to him. After all, no matter how smart a person is, there will be omissions. Plus, with intentional people playing tricks, it is naturally even more difficult to guard against.
Wanyue thought for a while, it was not easy to find a loyal slave, and shopkeeper Li was really capable, so she couldn't help but wink at Ying'er beside her, and motioned for her to bring some reward money.
After a while, Ying'er personally handed the silver reward to Shopkeeper Li. Shopkeeper Li was obviously stunned for a moment when he took it. When he saw clearly that this was the silver reward given to him by his employer, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but express his gratitude.
"Thank you, master. I will be extremely careful in the future to repay your kindness." Shopkeeper Li said very sincerely.
After hearing this, Wanyue paused for a moment and then replied: "Shopkeeper Li, you don't have to be polite. Jiu Beile and I can't handle the bank's affairs all day long. The bank relies on shopkeeper Li for everything."
Shopkeeper Li looked slightly startled when he heard what Wanyue said. He seemed a little uncomfortable with Wanyue's compliments to him. However, he was the shopkeeper of the bank after all, and he knew how much his two bosses supported him.
"My boss, you're welcome, this is what a slave should do." Shopkeeper Li replied respectfully again.
In this case, Wanyue did not intend to keep Shopkeeper Li around any longer, after all, she already knew who the 10,000 taels of fake banknotes were related to.
"Ying'er, please send Shopkeeper Li off for me." Wanyue paused, and after some thought, she decided to let Shopkeeper Li go back first.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li leaned down slightly and bowed to Wanyue in a polite manner.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the main hall of Xinuang Pavilion, they bumped into Yinqi. Shopkeeper Li quickly knelt down and saluted Yinqi.
However, Yinqi ignored him, glanced at Shopkeeper Li, and walked straight into the house. Ying'er quickly raised her hand to help Shopkeeper Li, and led him out of Prince Heng's Mansion.
Wanyue looked at Shopkeeper Li's retreating back and sighed slightly. Then she saw Yin Qi's figure in front of her, and she immediately stood up and walked forward with a smile.
"I'm coming back from court today a little later than yesterday." Wanyue asked softly.
In fact, the reason why Yinqi returned to the palace late was mainly because the child Hongyuan had been exaggerated by his masters in the palace recently, so the old man specially left him in the Yangxin Hall after going to court to praise him, saying that he was a good teacher.
Hearing this, Yinqi felt very proud and replied: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, praised me today. Can I be unhappy?"
Seeing that Wanyue was in a very good mood, she couldn't help but ask: "How can Huang Ama praise me?"
Wanyue didn't know that Hongyuan's academic performance was among the best among the emperor's grandsons, so she didn't know that the emperor had praised Hongyuan in public in front of all the emperors' grandsons.
However, this move made Prince Lian's son Hongshi very jealous, because his eldest and second brothers both passed away one after another, and his Prince Ama Lian was very strict with him, often pulling him to get up to study in the middle of the night.
Already.
But even though he worked so hard, he couldn't compare to the playful Hong Yuan. How could he be willing to do so?
However, Hongyuan did not notice Hongshi's cousin's envy and dissatisfaction with him at that time.
Seeing Wanyue's eyes full of curiosity, Yinqi replied proudly: "Hongyuan is a kid who has grown up in the palace. I heard that the gentleman who went to the study asked questions two days ago, and Hongyuan almost answered them. At that time
It happened that Huang Ama passed by the study room and praised Hongyuan in front of all the emperor's nephews... After the court today, he specially left me to speak in the Yangxin Hall. Huang Ama said that I
Wang teaches his son well!"
"Ah?" Wanyue panicked, "Is our Hongyuan so powerful?"
Hong Yuan is so powerful?
Seeing Wanyue's shocked face, Yinqi thought that Wanyue didn't believe it, so he had to explain quickly: "Yue'er, don't believe it. I heard from Eunuch Liang that the gentleman who went to the study at that time had even passed the examination on geography, poetry and poetry."
After listening to Yinqi's words, Wanyue became more and more shocked. Why didn't she know that her son was so outstanding?
However, she was afraid that people would hate her if she stood out too much. Wanyue couldn't help but frown, but she quickly relaxed her brows. Maybe this was not a bad thing.
At least she no longer has to worry about Hongyuan's future.
After thinking about this, Wanyue relaxed her mind.
However, after only a moment, Yin Qi's expression on the side seemed to have turned cold, and he let out a faint sigh.
Seeing this, Wanyue couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's wrong, sir? In just a short while, your mood has..."
Yinqi shook his head and sighed: "I look at the fourth brother as if he has not given up on the throne!"
"Why do you say that?" Although Wanyue already knew that Prince Lian had not given up on that position, she still pretended to ask.
After all, a few months ago, the bank she and Jiu Beile shared was exchanged for 10,000 taels of counterfeit banknotes, and shopkeeper Li had already discovered that the suspicious associate had been in and out of Prince Lian's palace.
Yinqi thought for a while and briefly told Wanyue the news he heard from Yikun Palace.
After Wanyue listened, she was silent for a long time. Unexpectedly, Concubine De from Yonghe Palace also got involved. Concubine De seemed to be thinking about letting her son sit on the throne, and the position of empress dowager would belong to her in the future.
The Virtuous Concubine in Yinzhi's mouth seems to be quite different from the De Concubine in Wanyue's previous life.
After Prince Yong, the fourth prince in the previous life, succeeded to the throne, he consecrated Concubine De as the Empress Dowager. However, Concubine De not only refused the canonization of the Emperor Yongzheng, but also lived in seclusion in Yonghe Palace and refused to meet the then Emperor Yongzheng.
In desperation, Emperor Yongzheng called on his ministers to persuade Concubine De, but Concubine De was not well-off at that time. Less than a year after Emperor Yongzheng took the throne, Concubine De died of illness.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Concubine De was so eager for the position of empress dowager, and even began to use her own son to fight for the throne.
Thinking of this, Wanyue felt that she had to make plans in advance, and she must not let Empress De and Prince Lian ruin the things she had arranged.
