Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fifth Princess and Matron Suma walked to a secluded pavilion. The palace servants were waiting in the distance and no one could hear their conversation.

The Fifth Princess pretended to be ignorant and asked, "I wonder what Madam wants to talk to the Royal Madam about today?"

How could the Fifth Princess's childish performance fool Su Ma?

The Fifth Princess was also raised by Su Ma, and Su Ma had no intention of fooling the Fifth Princess. "I'm sure the Princess has heard about it, it's about the Princess' future husband."

The Fifth Princess bit her lip and asked, "I heard that it was the Crown Prince who recommended him?"

Madam Su Ma nodded and responded, "Yes, the Crown Prince recommended Lord Jiang Chen. He is upright and handsome, and is appreciated by the Emperor. He has a promising future."

The Fifth Princess could no longer maintain her composure, "Madam, do you know that Jiang Chen was once a candidate for Fourth Sister's husband?"

Aunt Su Ma knew about this, but what was the big deal?

Madam Su couldn't bear to see the Fifth Princess worrying more, so she tried to comfort her: "Princess, do you know how the Master married Emperor Taizong?"

The master that Su Ma Ma was talking about was only Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. The person the Fourth Princess had admired most since childhood was Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the Fifth Princess also knew a lot about her past.

"I heard that when Empress Xiaoduanwen was married to Emperor Taizong, she was infertile for many years, so Korchin..." The Fifth Princess felt that this was too insulting to Empress Xiaozhuang, so she did not elaborate.

However, Madam Su didn't care. She knew that Empress Xiaozhuang never cared about the past. It was these past events that forged the present Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. There was nothing that could not be said.

"Yes, the master married Emperor Taizong with a mission from Khorchin. Even though Empress Xiaoduanwen is her biological aunt."

The fifth princess retorted: "But the ancestor is doing this for Khorchin. She has no choice, but I do!"

Aunt Su Ma's eyes were sharp as if she could see through the Fifth Princess. She asked, "Is it true?"

These words immediately shattered the Fifth Princess's apparent toughness. She could no longer stand and sat down against the railing of the pavilion. The Crown Prince, Concubine De, and the Fourth Prince, none of them had asked her what she thought before deciding on her marriage. This made the Fifth Princess feel like she was just an item that could be traded.

Madam Su hugged the Fifth Princess lovingly, "Princess, you have to live your life well. Who you marry is important, but managing yourself well is the most important thing."

Just like later, when Xiaozhuang's elder sister, Hai Lanzhu, became a widow and was taken into the harem by Emperor Taizong, she became Consort Chen as soon as she entered the palace and lived in the "Guanju Palace". "Guanju and the doves are singing on the island in the river, the beautiful lady and the gentleman are looking for her." The two words "Guanju" show Emperor Taizong's intentions, not to mention the title "Chen". Chen has been a nickname for the emperor since ancient times, but Emperor Taizong gave this word to Hai Lanzhu.

Didn’t Xiaozhuang feel desperate? It was just that she found something worth holding on to, and she saved her position and her children.

The fifth princess was puzzled. "My mother clearly wanted to keep me in Beijing, but when I was able to stay in Beijing, she ignored my wishes and married me off casually."

What the Fifth Princess resisted was not the choice of her husband, but the fact that she had no say in her own marriage. Even if the Fifth Princess was unwilling, she had to wear a veil and marry into another family.

Especially since the process of Concubine De winning over Jiang Chen was not glorious, the Fifth Princess could feel that Jiang Chen was very important to Concubine De, even more important than her own daughter.

Nanny Su Ma gently stroked the Fifth Princess' back. It was not the Fifth Princess' fault, she was too young and was well protected. She had never experienced that she could not always do what she wanted in this world, and now she had to experience being forced to do something important in her life.

"Princess, there is little kinship in the palace. Although Concubine De puts profit first, she has not completely sacrificed the princess. It is rare to be ignorant in life!"

If Concubine De really didn't care about the Fifth Princess, she could have married the Fifth Princess to Mongolia to win over a tribe for herself to strengthen her power. Or she could have found a famous family in the capital, such as the Hesheli or Tongjia clan. After all, it was just a marriage between two surnames, and it didn't matter whether the Fifth Princess lived well or not.

The Fifth Princess shed tears. If Concubine De was not nice to her, she could ask the Empress Dowager to make the decision and choose another prince consort of her choice. But Concubine De was very nice to the Fifth Princess except for Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was not a bad person, but the Fifth Princess could not get over it.

"But I can't pretend not to see it. As long as I think about the fact that the person I will be with day and night in the future was once my fourth sister's hope to stay in Beijing, I can't face it."

This was something that Su Mama couldn't persuade. The Fifth Princess had to figure it out on her own. "Princess, you should still put yourself first. If you don't want to face your husband, you have your own Princess Palace, so you don't have to summon your husband to your palace."

The Fifth Princess looked at Su Ma sadly: "Mammy, is there really no other way?"

Su Ma sighed helplessly. This matter was facilitated by the prince! If the prince hadn't intervened, they could have made a new choice, but Jiang Chen had the prince's support, and only Shun Anyan could rival him.

If Shun Anyan had not fallen, the Fifth Princess would still have other choices, but even Shun Anyan has fallen. Isn't this the Prince secretly warning everyone that if anyone thinks he has a stronger background than Shun Anyan, come and compete with me.

When it comes to the Crown Prince, the Fifth Princess can no longer just choose to marry. This is an imperial order, who dares to disobey?

The Fifth Princess also knew that if she continued to ask, she would embarrass Su Ma. She forced a smile and said politely, "I have delayed Madam for quite a while today. I am sure Madam Royal must be anxious. Please go quickly!"

Madam Su bowed, left the pavilion and went to report to the Queen Mother. She considerately did not allow the palace maids who came with the Fifth Princess to come forward, giving the Fifth Princess enough time to sort out her emotions.

Su Ma walked quickly to the Ningshou Palace and told the Queen Mother what she had learned about Jiang Chen.

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. This person was a really good candidate, especially since he had discovered high-yield and high-quality seeds. This was not a fortune that ordinary people could have. With the merits of saving countless lives, Jiang Chen would be blessed by the Eternal Heaven.

There was just one thing that made the Queen Mother hesitate. "Su Ma, I wonder how good Jiang Chen is at riding and archery? If our Manchu and Mongolian children can't ride horses and shoot arrows, they will be inferior to others. Will Yaliqi be laughed at in the future?"

Su Madu was amused by the Queen Mother's strange focus. "What are you talking about? Although Lord Jiang did not learn horseback riding skills since he was a child, he has never lost anyone when he followed the Emperor Mulan on the hunt. I think he is also qualified in horseback archery."

The Queen Mother felt a little embarrassed by the laughter, but she still insisted on her point of view, "In the future, you must tell Jiang Chen to practice well. If he is not good at riding and shooting, he will not be able to get along in front of the emperor."

If this caused Jiang Chen to be unable to get promoted, or even caused the Fifth Princess to lose face, that was something the Empress Dowager did not want to see.
