Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 103 The Prince's List

The Fourth Prince didn't seem to sense the Crown Prince's alertness and sighed worriedly, "Yaliqi is almost old, I really don't know what the Emperor's plan is!"

The Fourth Prince even sought the Crown Prince's opinion, "Yaliqi was born with a weaker body than other children. How could she bear it if she married to Mongolia?"

Although the Crown Prince did not pay attention to the affairs of the harem, he knew that the Fifth Princess was raised by the Empress Dowager, so he comforted her, "The Royal Mama cannot leave her alone now, maybe the Royal Father will keep Yaliqi in the capital."

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince became even more worried when he heard this, "Second Brother, the situation in the capital is complicated. Will the Emperor want to marry Yaliqi back to the Tong family?"

The prince followed the Fourth Prince's line of thought and felt that it was indeed possible and the probability was not low, but this idea made the prince's face darken.

With Kangxi's temper, he would definitely marry the princess to his beloved nephew, Shun Anyan, the eldest grandson of the Tong family. But Shun Anyan stood on the side of the eldest prince.

Kangxi probably didn't know about this, after all, he was still concerned about the pillars of the Tong family. But Mingzhu, the old fox, had already set his sights on the next generation and won over Shun Anyan for the eldest prince.

How did the prince know?

The prince sneered. He had bowed his head to make friends with the younger generation of the Tong family for the sake of his father's face, but he didn't expect Shun Anyan to be so stubborn. If it was Tong Guowei, the prince could understand. What capital did Shun Anyan have to reject him? Wasn't it the confidence given by the eldest brother, the reckless man?

However, the prince did not disclose this matter. After all, Kangxi would not severely punish Shun Anyan for the sake of his mother's family. So the best way was to use this matter to deal a fatal blow to the eldest prince when he was too proud of himself.

Now the Fourth Prince’s words gave the Crown Prince an inspiration. He had no biological sisters, but the Fourth Prince was already under his command. If the Fifth Princess married Shun Anyan, wouldn’t that give the eldest prince a chance to win her over?

Therefore, he had to intervene in the fifth princess's marriage and use this marriage to win over the most suitable candidate.

So the prince smiled, put his arm around the fourth prince's shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, do you want to choose a satisfactory husband for Yaliqi in the capital?"

When the Fourth Prince heard the Crown Prince's words, his eyes lit up and then dimmed. "The elder sisters before me all married in Mongolia. I dare not speculate. Besides, I just said that if I stay in the capital, I am afraid I can only rely on the Tong family."

The prince was so angry when he heard this word of flattery. Relying on the fact that the princess was Kangxi's mother's family, he could only flatter the princess. It was really a case of the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power to bully others.

This further confirmed the prince's intention to ruin the marriage. He said to the Fourth Prince mysteriously, "Don't worry about this. As a brother, you have to find a solution. We can't just watch our Yaliqi suffer! Go back and discuss the candidates with Concubine De, and I will also look for some candidates. When we have confirmed it, I will go and ask the Emperor for permission!"

The Fourth Prince was full of admiration, "If this is true, I will never be able to repay you. In the future, if Second Brother has any needs, I will definitely satisfy them!"

The prince said modestly: "How can we thank each other? Yaliqi is also my sister!"

In addition to Yuqing Palace, the Fourth Prince went to pay his respects to Concubine De, subtly indicating that the Crown Prince would interfere in the Fifth Princess' marriage. The next step was to subtly put Jiang Chen on the Crown Prince's assessment list and push Jiang Chen to the first place.

This matter was difficult for others, but it was not difficult at all for the bondservant Uya clan. The prince could only mobilize two forces: one was the Hesheli clan outside the palace, and the other was Ling Pu, the head of the Imperial Household Department inside the palace.

Mingzhu will definitely keep an eye on Soetu's movements. In order to prevent Mingzhu from noticing anything unusual, the prince will definitely instruct Ling Pu to do this.

Concubine De knew too well what kind of person Ling Pu was. Relying on the fact that she married the prince's wet nurse, she accepted bribes unscrupulously. If the prince had not protected her, Ling Pu would have been caught and kicked out of office long ago.

When Ling Pu was smart, it was Li Ma who was in charge. Since she was reprimanded by Kangxi last time, Li Ma had not been to Yuqing Palace for a long time, and Ling Pu did not dare to tell her about the prince's mission. It was really stupid. If he lost his brain, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing the prince's weakness?

Defei believed that Mingzhu had also seen it, and even many people who were hiding in the dark waiting for the opportunity had also seen it. Why didn't they say it? Of course they were waiting for Ling Pu to make a big mistake and implicate the prince!

So Ling Pu thought he was secretly collecting information about the young talents in the capital, but in fact, he didn't know how much intelligence about the Uya family was mixed in. After all, he was using people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it would be difficult for the Uya family to hide it.

The prince received the information and began to look through it. He found that this family was too weak and not worthy of marrying the princess; that family was indecisive and the marriage would not be able to play the greatest role.

The prince searched around and found Jiang Chen's information, and he became interested.

Since Jiang Chen entered the court, neither he nor the eldest prince had been able to get a clear answer from Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's family was simple, and it was even less likely that his teacher Li Guangdi would be caught with a fatal handle, so coercion and inducement were useless.

The prince has never lacked followers, and he is not so enthusiastic about Jiang Chen.

But the eldest prince, under Mingzhu's advice, was very persistent in pursuing Jiang Chen. This behavior aroused the prince's desire to win. If Jiang Chen chose him, it would mean that he was more attractive than the eldest prince. No matter how much the eldest prince jumped up and down, he was just a clown who made people laugh!

When the prince thought about Jiang Chen following behind him and making plans, and the boss saw him, and his face looked like he had overturned a palette, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In the end, after much selection, only Jiang Chen, Shun Anyan and two other sons made it to the prince's list. However, the prince still preferred Jiang Chen the most.

However, the Crown Prince was not at ease with the Fourth Prince. If Jiang Chen married the Fifth Princess but pledged allegiance to the Fourth Prince, wouldn't the Crown Prince's efforts be in vain?

It was another day of leisure, and the prince took out the information of four people and handed it to the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince looked through them and said, "The people chosen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all one in a million. I think any of them is good. But..."

The prince was puzzled; "But what?"

The Fourth Prince picked out Jiang Chen's information and said nervously, "Jiang Xiuzhuan has not expressed his attitude. I think he is not suitable."

The prince argued, "Fourth brother, is Jiang Xiuzhuan's age not suitable? Is his appearance not right? Is his character problematic? Or is his future not bright enough?"

The prince's questions were all met with the Fourth Prince's head shaking in the negative.

The prince smiled and said, "What is your dissatisfaction, my fourth brother?"

The fourth prince said helplessly: "Second brother, I'm afraid Jiang Chen has to agree to this matter himself. The emperor will definitely be watching! If it's not love between the man and the concubine, no matter how good your intentions are, it will be useless!"

The prince replied arrogantly: "I am the crown prince. If the king wants me to die, I have to die!"

The prince didn't believe that anyone would refuse his solicitation. If that were the case, Jiang Chen wouldn't have to stay in the capital. Without Li Guangdi's status, how could he be a loyal minister? What a joke!
