Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 152 2 Prince and Promotion
Yixiu took the initiative to ask for forgiveness, and it was impossible for the Fourth Prince to really punish Yixiu for these things.
"It's obvious that Li is being too indulgent because she's pregnant. What does this have to do with Xiaoyi?"
Yixiu said with a guilty tone: "When Xiaoyi thought about Sister Li being pregnant with my child, I couldn't bear to blame her. I really lost my sense of propriety."
The Fourth Prince felt that he could not allow Li to continue like this. With the precedent of Song's case in the past, the Fourth Prince did not want Li to give birth to a child who could not survive.
"Su Peisheng, tell Master that since Li is feeling sick, she should just stay in the yard and don't come out."
Isn't this just a disguised form of house arrest? Thinking of Li Gege's brainless appearance, Su Peisheng had no choice but to accept this task.
Sure enough, when Li Jingyan heard the Fourth Prince's order, her face changed immediately. She grabbed Su Peisheng in disbelief and asked, "Eunuch Su, did the Master really say that?"
Su Peisheng also said helplessly: "How dare I, a servant, falsely convey the Fourth Master's instructions?"
Of course Li Jingyan knew that Su Peisheng wouldn't dare to do that, which made it impossible for Li Jingyan to even deceive himself.
Seeing that Li Jingyan was distracted, Su Peisheng could only try to comfort her. After all, if any problems occurred to the child due to his passing on the message, wouldn't he be the one to take the blame?
"Gege Li, this is because the Fourth Master loves you. As long as you give birth to the child safely, what else is there?"
Li Jingyan was still immersed in the bad news of being imprisoned by the Fourth Prince. Cuiguo was smarter than her and knew the good intentions of Su Peisheng's reminder. She quickly said, "Thank you, Eunuch Su, for reminding me."
Su Peisheng didn't say these words out of gratitude to Li Jingyan, but he just didn't want to mess up the job. After saying everything he needed to say, Su Peisheng left.
After seeing Su Peisheng off, Cuiguo helped Li Jingyan back to the house.
Li Jingyan's lost brain finally came back, and she said to Cuiguo nervously, "The Fourth Master would never confine me without a reason. Cuiguo, go and find out where the Fourth Master heard the rumors."
Seeing that Li Jingyan had cheered up, Cuiguo did not refuse and hurried out to inquire.
This matter was originally a warning from Yixiu to Li Jingyan, and Yixiu was eager for Li Jingyan to know about it, so Cuiguo easily found out that Yixiu had complained to the Fourth Prince.
Knowing that it was Yixiu who had tripped him up, Li Jingyan was furious. What else could he do? Yixiu was the wife of the emperor, and she had given birth to the eldest son. She was deeply trusted and loved by the Fourth Prince. Even if Li Jingyan was stupid, he would never go to Yixiu to settle the score.
Although she was scared in her heart, she was not forgiving in her mouth. Li Jingyan complained in a weak voice, "If the baby in my belly wasn't necessary, why would I bother Fu Jin? Fu Jin is so stingy!"
Cuiguo thought about the jewelry that Li Jingyan had asked for, such as the gold-inlaid red tourmaline squirrel hairpin and the white jade flat hairpin inlaid with lotus pattern, and pretended to be ignorant and thought that they were wanted by the little prince in Li Jingyan's belly.
Yixiu didn’t care what Li Jingyan thought. Without the annoying mosquitoes buzzing every day, even the sky seemed bluer.
Yixiu did not even want to pursue the private complaints of Li Jingyan brought by the spies. As long as the child was born and raised safely, then there would be no more talk of 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west'. Otherwise, it would become 'Don't bully the young who are poor, don't bully the middle-aged who are poor, don't bully the old who are poor, the dead are the greatest'.
Li Jingyan was forced to calm down, but how could the people in the backyard give up the opportunity to take action?
Li Jingyan always felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but the doctor had been bribed long ago, so how could he diagnose anything?
No matter how carefree Li Jingyan was, she felt something was wrong. However, the Fourth Prince thought that Li Jingyan's sensitivity was just a way of competing for favor and ignored her completely. This also offended Yixiu, and it was impossible for Yixiu to make the decision for her.
Li Jingyan could only endure in fear, but the child finally came into the world early.
In September of the 39th year, the second prince was born at just eight months old, and naturally, he was in poor health.
When the Fourth Prince heard the news, his face darkened. Isn't this the Song family of the past? The Fourth Prince remembered the grief of the early death of the eldest princess and didn't want to experience it again. He only glanced at the Second Prince a few times, and even Li Jingyan was ignored.
The Fourth Prince could ignore Li Jingyan, but Yi Xiu couldn't. It's just that Li Jingyan, who was devoted to the Second Prince, was much easier to get along with than before.
Just looking at the scene of Li Jingyan hugging the Second Prince and crying, Liu Youyou also sighed. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place?
I don't know how much of Li Jingyan's sadness is because the child is not healthy enough, how much is because of losing the favor of the Fourth Prince, or how much is because the child can't bring honor to herself? After all, if the Second Prince is healthy, he will be the only second prince in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
After celebrating the second prince's third day of birth and full moon, it was already the fortieth year.
This year has been very smooth, the only big event was a happy one!
Li Guangdi successfully completed the project of regulating the Yongding River, and was awarded a plaque with the words "Su Zhi Qing Qing" written by Emperor Kangxi, a poem written by Emperor Kangxi about the Yongding River, and imperial clothing. At the same time, he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel.
Kangxi was also generous in rewarding Jiang Chen, and directly promoted him to the fourth-rank Hanlin Academician, jumping four levels.
Even though the Bachelor of Imperial Academy is only of the fourth rank, he can be considered the second in command of the Hanlin Academy.
The head of the Hanlin Academy is the president of the academy, who is of the second rank, and below him are the reading bachelor and the trial lecturer, who are of the fourth rank. This is in line with the nobility of scholars, whose official positions are not high but very important.
It is said that only Jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy, and only Hanlin can enter the cabinet. Jiang Chen can be said to have taken another big step on the road to entering the cabinet.
In terms of promotion alone, Jiang Chen is definitely not as dazzling as Li Guangdi. After all, Li Guangdi was the Minister of Personnel when he first got promoted, and was mainly responsible for the appointment, dismissal, examination, promotion, honors, transfers, etc. of civil servants across the country. It can be said that if you want to move around in the officialdom, you can't avoid the Ministry of Personnel, and you can't avoid Li Guangdi.
Everyone knows that Li Guangdi is only one step away from entering the cabinet, or in other words, if Li Guangdi was not a Han Chinese, he should have entered the cabinet long ago.
But with Emperor Kangxi's decree to marry the Fifth Princess to Jiang Chen, who in the capital would not envy Jiang Chen's luck?
The Qing dynasty especially had a very relaxed system of consorts. The Song dynasty took the Tang dynasty as a lesson, thinking that Tang dynasty princesses were very restless and always wanted to rebel and become emperors themselves, and the power of princesses depended on the support of their consorts, so the Song dynasty stipulated that princesses and their consorts were not allowed to serve as officials in the court. Therefore, the Song dynasty made the number one scholar a consort purely to offend people.
But it was different in the Qing Dynasty. The main purpose of the princesses in the Qing Dynasty was to win over Mongolia. Why did the emperor marry the princess instead of the emperor's husband? After all, they were already a family.
As the first non-Mongolian prince consort during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Jiang Chen has attracted much attention.
But I didn’t expect that the first person to react would be the Ninth Prince.
