Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Jiang Chen spent the 35th year of Kangxi's reign working diligently on the farm. The upcoming 36th year will be a year that Yixiu will find hard to let go.

--------------Yuqing Palace-----------------------

The prince was listening to the report from his subordinates. In front of him were the arrangements of personal connections from all over. After all, it was another year of imperial examinations, and how many available officials he could gather depended entirely on this time.

After saying this, the subordinate said hesitantly, "Your Highness, we have found some clues about the matter about Jiang Xiuzhuan that you asked us to investigate."

The prince was very happy when he heard this. For more than a year, the entire court had focused on the military, so even if Jiang Chen was won over, there was no place for him to use his power. And Jiang Chen obviously came with conditions. Only by getting the whereabouts of his sister could Jiang Chen be completely loyal.

"But have we found the person?" the prince thought optimistically.

His men were even more terrified. He said tremblingly, "We followed the clues of the traffickers and found the residence of Lord Hesheli Suowei."

The prince's mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy. It was like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple - family members fighting each other. From the name Suo Wei, it can be seen that his relationship with Suo Etu is not even five generations apart. In other words, he is the backbone of the Hesheli clan. If Suo Wei is punished for Jiang Chen, the people of the Hesheli clan will be unstable.

The prince did not want another Hesheli concubine to enter the royal father's harem and produce another candidate for succession. Yes, the original Hesheli concubine died of illness in February of the thirty-fifth year and was posthumously named Pingfei.

Doesn't this give Hesheli more excuses? There are no one of their own in the harem, and there is no connection between the previous dynasty and the harem. How disturbing!

If Kangxi had not been busy with the war and the prince had not stayed in the capital to supervise the country, Hesheli would have sent the new bride to the palace long ago. But this was not a long-term solution, and the prince did not want to give someone with ulterior motives a chance because of this matter.

Moreover, using this incident as a handle to win over Suo Wei would allow the prince to better control the Hesheli family.

So, the prince tapped the table with his fan and ordered, "Tell Suo Wei to hand over the list. I don't believe he didn't leave any evidence. Then find the people and destroy the list and evidence. Don't leave any clues. Tell Suo Wei to clean up everything. I will only give him one chance."

The men followed the prince's orders and retreated to contact Suo Wei.

Jiang Chen didn't know the prince's decision, but even if he knew, he could only say that it was not surprising at all. As royal relatives, how could they not protect their own people?

Jiang Chen was still busy between editing books and growing sweet potatoes. He had little time for socializing on weekdays. This made the Fourth Prince restless.

Jiang Chen will not let go of his hatred and really surrender to the prince, right?

This is not impossible. If he were in Jiang Chen's shoes, the Fourth Prince would think that if he were in Jiang Chen's shoes, the Crown Prince would be the regent, and his position would be stable. Why would he offend the Crown Prince for his sister, who he has no feelings for except blood? After all, blood is the least valuable thing for the royal family.

This association made the Fourth Prince very uneasy. If he failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice, he would be so upset that he would vomit blood.

The Fourth Prince did not want to sit still and wait for death, so he began to frequently contact Jiang Chen. Fortunately, the pursuit of the prince in the past few years paid off, and the prince did not discover the Fourth Prince's little tricks.

Jiang Chen did not reject the Fourth Prince's sudden advances because Liu Youyou's note came again, with only four words, "The time has come".

What time has come? The time to recognize my relatives has finally come! When Jiang Chen thought of this, he was so excited that his whole body was shaking.

In this way, Jiang Chen and the Fourth Prince became closer and closer.

Liu Youyou began to exert her strength.

After dinner, it was time for the Fourth Prince and Yi Xiu to chat.

It is spring now, and the Fourth Prince and Yixiu often stroll in the small garden to digest their food.

As he was walking, he met the eunuch who was delivering something to Concubine Shu.

Shu Fei had endured for more than two years, and finally reaped the rewards. She gave birth to the seventeenth prince on the second day of March.

This made Kangxi very happy. He was now in his forties and felt that his physical fitness was declining, so he was eager to find evidence to show that he was still strong.

The expedition to Galdan is evidence, and the fact that Shu Fei became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy prince is also evidence.

As Shu Fei became more and more able to guess Kangxi's thoughts, Kangxi also doted on Shu Fei more and more. Now that his beloved had given birth to a prince, Kangxi would give Shu Fei and the little prince some rewards from time to time, and people in the palace were no longer surprised.

Yixiu would not miss this opportunity to hurt the Fourth Prince's heart, so after the eunuch paid his respects, she asked casually, "What is this?"

The young eunuch did not dare to offend Yixiu, and the reward was no secret, so he answered respectfully: "My concubine, this is the small bow that the emperor prepared for the seventeenth prince."

Isn't it a coincidence? This is such a great opportunity, I have to say something!

Yi Xiu smiled and said with emotion: "The Emperor really dotes on my Seventeenth Brother. It's only been a few months and he's even prepared a small bow for practice!"

The Fourth Prince couldn't laugh. He was not liked by Concubine De, nor was he valued by Kangxi. He originally thought that the Crown Prince occupied too much of Kangxi's mind, but the appearance of the Seventeenth Prince made the Fourth Prince understand that Kangxi just didn't value him.

The young eunuch sensed the Fourth Prince's depressed mood and was frightened so much that he quickly left.

Yixiu saw the stern face of the Fourth Prince and realized that she had said something wrong. She held the Fourth Prince's hand and said distressedly, "Master..."

The Fourth Prince was at his most vulnerable moment. Feeling the warmth of Yixiu's palm, his heart seemed to be warmed by fire. He hugged Yixiu and said, "Fortunately, I have Xiaoyi to accompany me."

Yixiu looked into the Fourth Prince's eyes and said with guilt, "If Xiaoyi could give birth to a son or daughter for me, I wouldn't be lonely."

When the fourth prince saw the beauty frowning, how could he bear to let her go? He comforted her, "I am already very satisfied to have Xiaoyi."

But this could not comfort Yixiu's guilt. She forced a smile and returned to the mansion with the Fourth Prince.

That night, the Fourth Prince could feel Yixiu tossing and turning as she couldn't sleep.

From that day on, Yixiu became even more depressed, always distracted when doing things, and frequently pushed the Fourth Prince to the princesses in the backyard.

The Fourth Prince didn't want Yixiu to torture him like this, so when Yixiu mentioned that Li Jingyan was very beautiful today, the Fourth Prince exploded, "Xiaoyi, I am not a person who values ​​beauty. Aren't you sad that you pushed me to someone else like this?"

Yixiu put away her fake smile and couldn't help crying, "Xiaoyi is not lucky enough to give birth to an heir for me, so how can she occupy me all by herself? Go find sister Li quickly! Don't let her wait anxiously."

The Fourth Prince was originally pitying Yixiu for not being able to eat or drink these days, but Yixiu finally pushed him to go to Li Jingyan. He angrily threw his hands and went back to the main courtyard.
