Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

If the prince wanted to win over someone, he didn't need to use any other sneaky means. He just needed to send He Yuzhu to deliver the invitation to Jiang Chen in an open and aboveboard manner.

Jiang Chen accepted the invitation respectfully and responded, "I will definitely attend the banquet on time."

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, He Yuzhu took the reward purse with great satisfaction and went back to report to the prince.

Jiang Chen was left stroking the prince's invitation with an expressionless face.

This reminded Jiang Chen of the wax-sealed note that Uncle Wang had given him when he came back a week ago. There were only a few simple words on it: 'Prince's banquet, Fifth Princess's wedding'.

Jiang Chen sighed. These sons of dragons and grandsons of phoenixes could even use their own sisters so thoroughly.

Although Jiang Chen didn't know the age of the fifth princess, the fourth princess would still be three or four years away from being eighteen or nineteen, so the fifth princess might still be a child. Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.

But for his sister, Jiang Chen had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, Kangxi kept his daughters until they were eighteen or nineteen years old before marrying them off, otherwise Jiang Chen would not know how to face the fifth princess.

In the following time, Jiang Chen pretended to know nothing and did his own thing.

It was not until three days ago that the Fourth Prince sent Su Peisheng to ask questions and sent a secret letter to Jiang Chen.

The letter said: The Fourth Prince did not expect that the Crown Prince wanted to use the Fifth Princess' marriage to win over Jiang Chen. Perhaps it was the Fourth Princess' marriage that irritated the Crown Prince, and the Fourth Prince was arranged by Kangxi to assist the Crown Prince, so the Fourth Prince had no way to refuse the Crown Prince.

At the same time, the Fourth Prince was playing the victim. The Fifth Princess was born with poor health, and he and Concubine De had been trying to find a way to keep the Fifth Princess in Beijing, but the men Kangxi liked were not good men.

Finally, the Fourth Prince told Jiang Chen in a united manner that he could not forget the evil deeds of the Hesheli family and he really didn't know why the Crown Prince would cover up for these unscrupulous villains.

If Jiang Chen hadn't known the truth in advance, he would have believed the contents of the letter.

Jiang Chen threw the invitation on the desk and sneered, thinking that the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince were birds of a feather.

But at the prince's banquet, Jiang Chen was again the talented and elegant young man.

The main guest of this banquet was Jiang Chen, so when the prince saw Jiang Chen coming to the banquet, he came over to talk to Jiang Chen with a decent smile.

"Jiang Xiuzhuan is really hard to hire. I guess he is usually focused on his work and has no time for socializing."

The prince's words were not groundless. He had sent people to track Jiang Chen's whereabouts. He attended court every day, then went to the Hanlin Academy to work. He went home after work and spent most of his days off with his mother. His only social outlet was the literary gatherings organized by the Third Prince, but he did not go there often.

Therefore, the prince also knew that Jiang Chen's coming to the banquet was a favor to the prince. After all, Jiang Chen had never agreed to the eldest prince's request.

Jiang Chen replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally invited me, how dare I not come?"

If the prince wanted to be courteous, he could still save face. He hugged Jiang Chen very intimately, "Wangxuan, don't be nervous. I will take you to get familiar with these people!"

Jiang Chen followed the prince to recognize people at the banquet, and couldn't help but sigh that the prince's power was indeed huge.

The people the Third Prince usually associates with are only scholars and literati. The people the Crown Prince associates with are either already in high positions or people who appear to have low official positions but actually have great power.

Along the way, there were talented people of the younger generation of the Guwalgiya clan, Soetu's nephews and nephews, representatives of those in power in various places, and even the confidants of the Nine-Gate Commander of the Imperial Guards in the capital.

I think this time the prince is showing off his power to Jiang Chen. The petty officials and wealthy businessmen from all over the country who have attached themselves to him are not qualified to attend this banquet.

Moreover, in order to prevent Jiang Chen from defecting to the eldest prince, these people must be the prince's followers in public. What about in secret? Jiang Chen felt frightened just by looking at these people.

The prince will be eliminated. This is Jiang Chen’s final thought.

With such a force, if there were more troops, it would be easy for the prince to rebel. Kangxi would not allow the prince to have such power.

After introducing them, the prince took Jiang Chen to a secluded corner and said, "Wangxuan, do you know my intention?"

In fact, the prince didn't need to ask this question. Jiang Chen agreed to attend the banquet and had a pleasant conversation with the prince's direct descendants.

Now Jiang Chen goes out and says that he has not joined the princelings, who would believe him?

But isn't that what the superiors do? Give someone a slap and then give them a sweet date.

Jiang Chen pretended to submit to the prince: "It is an honor for me to be favored by the prince."

The prince laughed. He knew how could someone fail to see the situation clearly and reject him?

The prince did not hide anything and came close to Jiang Chen and said, "Wang Xuan will be ours from now on. Wang Xuan has reached adulthood, and his marriage should not be delayed any longer. I have a good marriage plan for Wang Xuan!"

Jiang Chen looked hesitant, "I am worried about my elder sister who has been missing for many years, so I am not in the mood to get married."

The prince was dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's refusal, but Jiang Chen was a talent he had recruited. Thinking of the boss's gloomy face, the prince's tyrannical aura returned to calm.

"I've been searching for Wangxuan for years, but there's still no news. I can't just keep waiting! There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants!"

Seeing Jiang Chen wavering, the prince added another bargaining chip. He whispered, "Do you know who this good match is?"

The prince pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City and gestured the number five.

Understanding what the prince meant, Jiang Chen said in panic, "I am of humble origin, how can I be a good match for you? Besides, you are too much older than me."

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have no conscience, but Jiang Chen does. He is reminding the Crown Prince that the Fifth Princess is still a child!

The prince smiled indifferently and said, "I have had a servant since I was twelve years old. Since ancient times, twelve or thirteen years old is the age for marriage. How can you say they are not a good match?

But Wangxuan has worked hard. It's too late for the emperor to keep people. If Wangxuan can't help it, I will arrange two for you and make sure no one will know. "

Jiang Chen listened to the prince's words, but felt that the prince's face was no different from those of the gigolos. He didn't even consider that the fifth princess was his sister. If Jiang Chen agreed, she would be his brother-in-law. He would give women to his brother-in-law and promise to keep his sister a secret.

Liu Youyou, who had been following Jiang Chen to identify people, retched out of disgust after hearing the prince's disgusting speech, and Jianqiu almost thought she was pregnant.

Jiang Chen felt as disgusted as Liu Youyou, but thinking about his own purpose, he could only cater to the prince, "That's not necessary. If I can marry you, I will be satisfied. However, I have a favor to ask."

Jiang Chen agreed to submit to him and also agreed to be tied to the fifth princess. The prince was very happy and naturally didn't mind listening to Jiang Chen's request. It would be best if it could be a handle on Jiang Chen, so that Jiang Chen would not want to withdraw.

Jiang Chen said very sadly: "I don't want to give up my elder sister. I just hope Your Highness can pay attention to the news in this regard."

For the prince, this was indeed a trivial matter, and he agreed readily.

Jiang Chen said in his heart, when you know that this matter involves the Hesheli family, I hope you can handle it impartially as you promised now.
