Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After Su Ma Ma finished her report, she did not stay long and returned to her residence.

The Fifth Princess also calmed herself down, redressed her makeup, and came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. They were already at the Ningshou Palace, and if they didn't go in to take a look, the Empress Dowager would be unhappy if she knew.

When the Queen Mother saw the Fifth Princess coming, she excitedly asked her to sit next to her, saying, "Yaliqi, guess what Suma is here for?"

The Fifth Princess cooperated with the Queen Mother, "Khorchin sent something again? So they are here to visit the Royal Madam?"

The Fifth Princess proposed several guesses, but all were denied by the Queen Mother. Seeing the Fifth Princess's confused expression, the Queen Mother happily gave the answer: "There is a good candidate for Yaliqi's son-in-law! Su Ma is here to see if this person is reliable!"

The fifth princess said shyly: "How can the royal mama tell these things directly to Yaliqi?"

The Queen Mother said seriously, "This is no small matter, Yaliqi, don't be shy. Listen carefully to what I say to you."

Yalichi listened to the empress dowager's introduction again. What she said was nothing but the same things he was tired of hearing: Concubine De said, fourth brother said, Madam Su said, and now it was the empress dowager's turn.

The Queen Mother could not see through the Fifth Princess' disguise, but she could keenly sense her depressed mood. She asked with concern: "Why is Yaliqi absent-minded? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

People are like this. They can endure being wronged, but they can't hold back their tears once someone close to them shows their concern.

The Fifth Princess looked at the Queen Mother's kind and caring eyes and said sadly, "Yaliqi doesn't want to marry Jiang Chen."

When the Queen Mother heard the Fifth Princess's crying, she did not ask why she did not want to get married, but hugged her and gently coaxed her: "If Yaliqi does not want to get married, then we will not get married. This Jiang Chen is not a good guy. He made Yaliqi cry."

The Queen Mother's words dispelled the Fifth Princess's grievances. She burst into laughter and said, "Lord Jiang is a good man. It is Yaliqi who is too willful."

The Queen Mother disagreed with the Fifth Princess' words, "Marriage is a big deal and the couple should get along well. If they force it from the beginning, there will definitely be trouble in the future."

This queen mother was very experienced. Her aunt, the deposed queen, Concubine Jing, was originally a young girl in love and wanted to live a good life with the late emperor, but the late emperor was sick! He did not like the Mongolian princesses, and in the end, the emperor and queen did not get along, and her aunt was also deposed.

Later, the Empress Dowager entered the palace. She didn't have so many ideas about harmony. It didn't matter who she married for the sake of the family. It was just that there was no place to ride horses comfortably in the Forbidden City, which made the Empress Dowager very unhappy. She thought she could just endure it, but the late emperor was seriously ill!

The Queen Mother herself neither sought his favor nor an heir with Khorchin blood. She only wanted to stay in the palace and be a good mascot queen, and she didn't even want the power of the palace.

But the late emperor always felt that he had taken Dong E's place, and he would come to her at any time, throw things, curse, or show affection with Dong E. Every time, the empress dowager was very upset. Although she had never been in contact with other men, the empress dowager felt that there were few people in the world as sick as the late emperor.

Therefore, the Queen Mother’s first criterion for the Fifth Princess’ future marriage is that both parties must be pleasing to each other. Otherwise, the Fifth Princess’s husband cannot be allowed to die early like the late Emperor, leaving the Fifth Princess a widow!

Although the Queen Mother felt that her life as a widow was much happier than when she was Queen, the Fifth Princess might not think so.

The fifth princess thought of the crown prince and felt that she should not embarrass the queen mother. "Yaliqi doesn't even know what kind of person Lord Jiang is, so he said it hastily. This is wrong."

The Queen Mother objected to this, "I don't know why Yaliqi disagrees, but since Yaliqi thinks it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. If this one doesn't work, let's find another one! Our royal princess will never have trouble finding a husband."

The Queen Mother's attitude made the Fifth Princess feel warm and understood that she could not act willfully. The Queen Mother had no power and only lived by relying on Kangxi's respect. The Fifth Princess did not dare to think about losing this respect because of herself.

The fifth princess dared not underestimate the prince's means. Today it was Shun Anyan, and who knows who it will be tomorrow. What if the prince really went crazy and wanted to drag the queen mother into the water? The fifth princess did not dare to bet on this possibility.

Having made up her mind, the Fifth Princess showed determination in her eyes. Madam Su was right. She was a princess in the capital, and she had the support of the Royal Madam and the Royal Father. Who would dare to make her unhappy? At worst, they could live their own lives in the future. Jiang Chen probably didn't want to have too much contact with her.

The Fifth Princess said to the Queen Mother briskly, "Madam, after thinking it over, Yalichi feels that Lord Jiang is also a good candidate. Let Madam make the decision. Yalichi believes in your judgment."

The fifth princess did not want to lose her composure, and as it was getting dark, she thought it was time to return to the princess residence.

The Queen Mother lost her interest in the beginning. She held the Fifth Princess' hand and warned her, "Yaliqi's feelings are the most important. Don't let yourself be wronged."

The Fifth Princess' eyes turned red at these words, but she still smiled firmly and said, "Don't worry, Royal Mama. Yaliqi is a princess, how could she let herself be wronged?"

The Queen Mother watched the Fifth Princess calmly walk out of Ningshou Palace and sighed worriedly, as she still could not help the children in any way.

Because the Fifth Prince was raised by herself, he married a wife of humble family background. The Fifth Prince was not happy with him, so how could the Empress Dowager be happy too?

But the Fifth Lady was indeed an impeccable granddaughter-in-law. She taught herself Mongolian in order to communicate with the Empress Dowager. Since the Fifth Prince was not convenient to come to the harem, the Fifth Lady often came to care for the Empress Dowager. She spoke and acted quickly and efficiently, and always met the Empress Dowager's wishes. There was only one thing that the Fifth Lady could not do, and that was to please the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Lady had tried to swallow her pride and get along well with the Fifth Prince, but she could not stand the Fifth Prince being picky about everything. He was picky about her family background, her appearance, and even found fault with the way she walked and talked. Who could stand this?

The Fifth Lady realized that no matter what she did, she would be rejected, so she let it go. The Fifth Lady cared about Concubine Yi, the Ninth Prince, and the Queen Mother, but she didn't care about the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince became even angrier. He thought it was normal for this woman to please him and that whatever his attitude was, was right. Why couldn't the Fifth Prince stand it?

The Queen Mother tried to mediate, but with the Fifth Prince's attitude, the Queen Mother couldn't say anything good about it, so she could only make do with it.

Now it was the Fifth Princess' turn. The Queen Mother didn't know what the Fifth Princess was worried about, but she thought it was something she couldn't get involved in. Perhaps, she shouldn't have adopted these two children. Without the involvement of her, the Mongol Queen Mother, perhaps these two children would have a better life.
