Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 106 Kangxi's Reward

In the deep palace of the capital, the morning sun was rising, and the golden light was shining on the carved beams and painted buildings. Yinqi and Yinyou had completed the vaccination work, while Yinzhen and Yinzhi had also achieved remarkable results in the planting of high-yield crops in Shengjing.

Emperor Kangxi was sitting on the throne, and upon hearing the two pieces of good news, a trace of joy flashed across his eyes that was difficult to conceal. He was well aware of the dedication and efforts of the two princes and two ministers, and also understood the great significance behind it - the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people.

During the morning court session, Kangxi specially summoned Yinqi, Yinyou, Yinzhen, Yinzhi and Fucun to come forward.

"Yinqi, Yinyou, I already know about your vaccination work. You did a great job." Kangxi's words were full of praise.

Yinqi and Yinyou smiled at each other and said in unison: "We are just doing our duty. Thank you for your praise, Father Emperor."

Kangxi nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Yinzhen and Yinzhi: "Yinzhen, Yinzhi, you have done a good job in planting high-yield crops in Shengjing. I am very pleased."

Yinzhen and Yinzhi stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to receive your praise. It is my honor to share your worries and work for the benefit of the people."

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, then he turned his gaze to Fucun, with a special smile on his face: "Fucun, I heard that you were the first to discover the cowpox, I want to reward you."

Fu Cun was delighted and immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. I discovered the cowpox by chance and I dare not take credit for it."

Kangxi smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be modest. If you have made contributions, you will be rewarded. If you have made mistakes, you will be punished. This is my rule. I have decided to promote you to the position of Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works. I hope you can continue to serve me and make contributions to the country."

Fu Cun was so excited that he could hardly speak. He knew that this was a great honor and the first step for him to enter the eyes of Emperor Kangxi. It was also a brand new challenge. He took a deep breath and said firmly: "I will live up to the emperor's expectations and will do my best to serve the Qing Dynasty and the people!"

Upon hearing this, everyone came forward to congratulate Fu Cun on his promotion, and at the same time they all felt that Fei Yanggu had really given birth to a good son. Kangxi was very pleased to see this scene. He knew that with such a group of loyal and capable ministers, the future of the Qing Dynasty would surely be more prosperous.

……

The sun shone on the bluestone road of Ulanala Mansion, reflecting a golden color. Inside the mansion, when Ulanala's wife learned the news of Fucun's promotion, her face was filled with joy that could not be concealed. She immediately ordered the servants to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes, intending to celebrate with the whole family at noon.

Fei Yanggu and his two sons Fuchang and Fucun walked into the house together, and what came into view was the table of delicious food. Fei Yanggu looked at Fujin and the children, and felt very warm in his heart.

"It seems like there's a happy event today." Fei Yanggu sat down with a smile and joked.

Mrs. Ulanara smiled and pointed at Fucun and said, "Master is smart. He saw it at a glance. Fucun has just been promoted. Isn't this a happy event?"

Fuchang immediately raised his glass to congratulate Fucun: "Congratulations on your promotion, third brother. I hope you will achieve greater success in your new position."

Fucun also raised his glass and said in return: "Thank you for your kind words, and I wish you a bright future."

"Okay, okay, I'll borrow your good words." Fuchang replied.

The family sat around the dining table, laughing and talking. Fei Yanggu looked at his two sons and felt very relieved. He knew that Fucun's promotion was not only a personal honor, but also the pride of the family.

However, he also knew the complexity and dangers of the officialdom, so he said to Fucun earnestly: "Fucun, promotion is a good thing, but you must not be proud and complacent. You must remember that the officialdom is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will fall into an irretrievable situation. You must always remain humble and cautious, and work hard for the emperor, so that you can last long."

Fucun nodded in agreement, keeping his father's teachings in mind.

Fei Yanggu turned to Fuchang and asked, "Fuchang, how is your investigation into the Li family going?"

Fuchang put down his wine glass and said solemnly, "We have almost finished the investigation. You will be shocked if you don't check it out. Although the Li family is only a seventh-rank official, they have done a lot of things behind the scenes. Especially Li Gege's father, since his daughter became Yinzhen's princess, he has been using Yinzhen's reputation to bully the people. And Li Gege's brother also relied on his sister's reputation to do evil and bully men and women. This family is really a scum!"

After hearing this, Fei Yanggu's face turned pale. He slammed the table in anger and stood up: "This kind of family is simply a mess! Fuchang, you must collect all the evidence, and then find someone who is friendly with us to present this matter. Be sure to act carefully and don't cause trouble for Yiya."

Fuchang nodded in agreement, with a plan in mind. He knew that this matter concerned the family's reputation and the integrity of the court, so he had to act with caution.

Fu Cun also said, "Since Li Gege dared to attack Xiao Honghui, let her see if she can withstand the wrath of our Ulanara family."

The lunch ended in a solemn atmosphere. Everyone in the Ulanala Mansion knew that a storm was coming, but they also believed that under the leadership of Fei Yanggu, they would be able to survive this crisis and safeguard the family's honor and the justice of the court.

……

In the Fifth Prince's Courtyard, the Fifth Lady Tatala seemed particularly busy today, with a look of joy on her face, because her husband Yinqi had recently done an excellent job and was rewarded by Emperor Kangxi. To celebrate this happy event, she specially asked someone to prepare a table of sumptuous food.

When Yinqi came back, he saw Tala's busy figure and the delicious food on the table, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He walked up to her, hugged her gently, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Fujin."

Hetala turned around with a happy smile on her face: "To celebrate your reward from the Emperor, these are all worth it."

The couple walked to the table hand in hand, sat down, and began to enjoy the food. Hetala raised her glass and said to Yinqi, "Congratulations, Master. Your efforts have been recognized by the Emperor. This is an honor for our family."

Yinqi also raised his glass and responded, "Congratulations, Fu Jin. Without your support, I would not be where I am today."

Putting down the wine glass, Yinqi continued: "In fact, I can get this opportunity this time, thanks to my fourth brother. If he hadn't given me this opportunity, I wouldn't have achieved what I have now."

Hetala nodded in agreement: "Fourth brother and his wife are both very good people. Although fourth brother looks serious on the surface, he takes good care of us in his heart. Fourth sister-in-law also helps me from time to time. We are all very grateful to them."

Yinqi nodded in agreement and continued, "Yes, we as a family should support each other. If you feel bored in the future, you can go to Fu Jin to play more. She has a gentle personality and you two will definitely get along well."

After hearing this, Tara smiled gently: "Okay, I will. Thank you, Yinqi."

The couple enjoyed the food and chatted, enjoying this rare warm time. Their conversation was full of care for each other and beautiful visions for the future life.
