Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 137: The Grand Wife and the Thick-skinned
Yixiu didn't want to be treated as a soft persimmon, so she replied directly: "Third sister-in-law, don't say that. If what you said is true, the mothers and concubines in the harem..."
This statement is half-spoken, leaving room for unlimited imagination.
Among the princes’ wives, perhaps only Yixiu was the case of a concubine being promoted to the main wife, but it was a common occurrence in the harem. Not to mention those who were still alive, up to now no legitimate son had ascended the throne. Does the emperor’s biological mother count as a concubine being promoted to the main wife?
These words are heartbreaking. Who doesn't know that Kangxi was attached to his biological mother and treated the Tong family well?
The Third Lady was frightened by these words, but she was unwilling to back down and said, "It's different after all. Did the Fourth Brother's wife seduce the Fourth Brother with her clever words?"
Seeing that the Third Lady's words were becoming more and more unpleasant, the First Lady frowned and interrupted: "Third brother and sister-in-law, be careful with your words."
The Third Wife is not afraid of the First Wife. They are all the wives of the princes. The Third Prince and the First Prince are both princes. Who is more noble than the other? She acts like the First Prince every day, relying on her early birth to act like the eldest son and eldest sister-in-law. It's really ridiculous.
"Sister-in-law, I know exactly what to say and what not to say, so don't worry about it. Sister-in-law, please pay more attention to your own children!"
The first wife's years of praying for a child finally paid off. The eldest prince's eldest son, Hongyu, was born in the autumn of the thirty-fifth year. However, his birth completely took away the first wife's health. Her body was already damaged by continuous childbirth, and she forced herself to get pregnant in order to give birth to a son. The child was born, but both mother and child were not in good health.
Perhaps it was the fact that she had been bedridden for more than a year after giving birth that made the first wife start to worry about the future of her children. If she died, the eldest prince might postpone his marriage because of the affection between the young couple, but he would never stop remarrying.
The eldest prince is in his prime and has a promising future in the court. The next bride will definitely be young, beautiful, and have a capable family. They will have a child soon, so what about her Hongyu?
Just look at the current crown prince and you will know, can a legitimate son without a mother live well? This is the case when there are no other legitimate sons. Hongyu has no protection of his own, and there is a stepmother and younger brother who are eyeing him covetously.
Could marrying the eldest prince be for the purpose of descending to the rank of Beile? It was for the eldest prince to ascend to the throne in the future, for the position of the emperor.
If the eldest prince becomes successful, wouldn't Hongyu be a target in this position?
As for her own daughters, when the eldest and second princesses gave birth, the eldest wife was still in good health, and her two daughters were also healthy.
But the third and fourth princesses who were born later were not so lucky. The first wife's body had long been hollowed out, and she could only give birth with difficulty. They were not the sons she had been longing for. The third and fourth princesses were not in a good situation, and the people who served them were not attentive.
These were found out by the First Concubine when she was bedridden. She thought of her daughters who had been neglected by herself and the eldest prince, so she sent people to inquire about them.
After such a thing happened, the first wife naturally dealt with a group of servants, but the timid expressions of her daughters and their actions of not daring to get close to her undoubtedly broke the first wife's heart.
What really ignited the fighting spirit of the First Lady was the reminder from her nanny. In recent years, it was not only Kangxi's daughter who married into Mongolia. Many princesses from the royal family were also given titles when they reached the marriageable age and married into large and small tribes in Mongolia.
Kangxi treated his own daughter like this, so how could we expect him to have any mercy on his granddaughter?
Even for the sake of the national policy of marriage between Manchus and Mongols, Kangxi would be even more ruthless in marrying off his granddaughters, and it is likely that none of the daughters of the first wife would be able to escape.
When the first wife thought that if she couldn't hold on, her four daughters would be married off to Mongolia and would lose their natal family, and no one would remember them when their bodies were buried on the grassland, and her own son would be killed, she felt an endless desire to live.
After drinking bowl after bowl of bitter juice, there was always some effect. The eldest lady was able to get up and socialize normally.
But the First Concubine didn't expect that the Third Concubine would directly hit her in the heart. She was so angry that she coughed and couldn't breathe.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the Crown Princess could only speak up and moderate the situation, "If Third Brother's wife can't speak, it's better for her to say less."
The Crown Princess is not the First Wife. She is the future mother of a country and even has the right to manage the harem. She is not comparable to the Third Wife or a Prince's Wife.
The Third Lady could only say, "What the Crown Princess said is true. I will learn from her."
After watching the excitement, Yixiu couldn't let the Crown Princess steal the show, so she casually brought up a new topic to divert the awkwardness.
After the full moon ceremony, Yixiu was still exhausted even though she had the memory of her previous life to help her. After all, experience could not save her from the process of manpower and material resources.
After returning to Xiliyuan, Yixiu let Huichun take off her jewelry. Yixiu felt sore all over after wearing the wedding dress today.
Before she could rest for a while, the Fourth Prince, who had seen off the other princes, also came to Xili Courtyard. Yixiu had to cheer up to deal with the Fourth Prince.
After washing up, the Fourth Prince hugged Yixiu tiredly. He was also very tired today. Honghui's full moon ceremony would not give the Fourth Prince a day off. He attended the morning court, went with Yixiu to pay respects to Kangxi and Defei, and then came back to preside over the full moon ceremony.
Yixiu patted the Fourth Prince's back gently, soothing his emotions.
The Fourth Prince closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then opened them and said, "Could it be that Yixiu mistook me for Honghui?"
Yixiu didn't shyly withdraw her hand, "If you don't like it, Xiaoyi won't take the photo."
The Fourth Prince grabbed Yixiu's hand and said with emotion: "Only Xiaoyi is so good to me."
Liu Youyou couldn't help but complain, yes, being so good to you won't hinder you from finding true love.
Yixiu couldn't complain, she had to maintain her own image, "My master is so good to Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi will naturally return the favor."
The Fourth Prince's nonexistent conscience ached, and he remembered his thoughts about Rouze during Yixiu's pregnancy. But he was afraid that he couldn't hide this from Yixiu, so he had to make amends for himself first.
"Xiaoyi, something happened not long ago. You were pregnant with Honghui at the time. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would think too much."
Yixiu thought to herself, what dirty and rotten things are you doing that I don’t know about?
But on the surface, Yixiu immediately looked up at the Fourth Prince and said with some caution: "Which princess do you like? If you like her, Xiaoyi will hire her back to the mansion right away."
Yixiu's words were sour, and the Fourth Prince took the opportunity to express his loyalty, "Xiaoyi is pregnant with my child, how can I be so ignorant? Does Xiaoyi miss me like this?"
At the end of the conversation, the Fourth Prince still looked aggrieved. If Yixiu didn't know the whole story between him and Rouze, she would have believed it.
Where does the shamelessness come from? It's disgusting!
