Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

"No one in our family can escape, so you don't have to worry about me running away."

"Who's worried about you running away! Can you run away?"

"Then what are you angry about?"

"You have cursed the crown prince. I have shown my generosity by not punishing you directly!"

"If you convict me, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the Prince of Zhi?"

"The boss, that reckless man, and you, a woman, really piss me off!"

"You make it sound like I'm having an affair with the Prince of Zhi."

"Shi Ruowei!!!"

"..."

"Speak up! Stop pretending to be asleep!!!"

"zzz, zzz..."

The Crown Prince was so angry that he came to stay overnight the next day, which made the people in the Crown Princess's courtyard very excited, thinking that the Crown Princess was finally going to regain favor.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the prince continued with yesterday's topic.

"Shi Ruowei, what did you mean yesterday?"

"Say it again."

"Shi Ruowei, yesterday you..., why do you repeat yourself? It's not like you don't have ears."

The Crown Princess said with some nostalgia, "It has been many years since anyone called me by my name."

The prince was furious, "Are you listening to me?"

"I thought the prince didn't know my name?"

After all, the Crown Princess married into the family too late, and the Crown Prince already had several favored concubines. The Crown Princess was not liked by the Crown Prince, so she did not tell him her maiden name.

The prince was very proud, "How could I let you be the crown princess without knowing anything?"

The prince did not mention that all the information was collected by Kangxi. He just glanced at it and remembered a name. But after remembering a name for so many years, Shi Shi was not satisfied.

The Crown Princess suddenly asked, "Are you happy with your man?"

The prince did not expect the princess to ask this question, and was about to get angry and say that the princess was a jealous woman. But the princess's indifferent performance had already let the prince know that the princess just wanted to be a qualified princess and did not care about the prince's feelings at all. Therefore, the princess might just be asking for no reason.

The prince hesitated and finally gave up resisting, "It's just like that, I think it's no different from a woman."

The Crown Princess was puzzled. "Since there is no difference, why did you ask He Yuzhu to find you a pretty young eunuch? You know that the Emperor would never allow this, right?"

Having said that, there is nothing to say next. The prince said, "Yuqing Palace is just a pigeon coop. The emperor would know if I turned over. Who can be happy after living like this for so many years? I am the prince, not a puppet."

Therefore, for the prince who did not care about gender, having male favorites was also a way for him to rebel against Kangxi.

The Crown Princess was speechless, "Are you a five-year-old child? Are you throwing a tantrum at your father?"

The prince's sad voice reached the princess's ears, "If only it were true."

The prince could hug Kangxi's thigh and roll around like a spoiled child. When the prince did this when he was a child, Kangxi would always feel soft-hearted.

The Crown Princess also knew that she had said the wrong thing, but since things had come to this point, she might as well continue.

"If you really can't do it, what will happen to my daughter?"

The prince was angry, "Shi Ruowei, do you think so little of me?"

After being annoyed, the prince whispered, "If it really comes to that, please take care of them." They included concubines and children.

The prince didn't get a reply and thought that the princess had fallen asleep again, so he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

The prince was half asleep and half awake when he heard the princess say, "Then I must remain neutral and cannot be your accomplice."

Only if the Crown Princess is in a position that is relatively opposed to the Crown Prince can she try to avoid the negative impact that the Crown Prince may bring. This is the only method that the Crown Princess has come up with.

The prince did not respond and fell into a complete sleep.

But from then on, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess tacitly began to communicate in a more distant way, not even respecting each other.

Everyone who served in Yuqing Palace knew that the Crown Princess had angered the Crown Prince again and had completely fallen out of favor. But the Crown Princess was not an ordinary concubine, so even if she lost the Crown Prince's favor, it would not have much impact on her.

Kangxi was very worried about this and talked to the crown prince several times, but in the end he returned with no success. However, he privately gave a much higher evaluation of the crown princess, "Shi is a person who doesn't know how to adapt. She should be more tactful when admonishing the crown prince."

Haha, as expected, Kangxi knew everything about the Yuqing Palace?

After the crown prince was deposed, this trick was used. Everyone knew that the crown princess was fair and impartial, and was not liked by the crown prince. Kangxi, the eldest prince, and the fourth prince all ordered that they should not embarrass the crown princess. The crown princess also fulfilled her promise and tried her best to protect other people in the backyard.

The Crown Princess thought that he would die, but she did not expect that the Crown Prince could be rehabilitated. However, once a Crown Prince was deposed, there would be another one. The Crown Princess did not think that Kangxi regretted deposing the Crown Prince.

After a brief exchange of words with the prince, it turned out to be true. The princess knew that she had to be a dignified and polite princess as before, maintaining her attitude of disliking the prince, and then wait for Kangxi to throw them into the abyss again.

But life cannot be ended, and life must be lived. The Crown Princess continued to smile and directed everyone to move back to Yuqing Palace. The Crown Prince took Hongxi with him to win the favor of Kangxi.

In October, Kangxi began to confer titles on his sons. The third prince was named Prince Cheng, the fourth prince was named Prince Yong, the fifth prince was named Prince Heng, the seventh prince was named Prince Chun, the tenth prince was named Prince Dun, and the ninth, twelfth, and fourteenth princes were named Beile.

This is nothing, after all, the crown prince has come out, and the eldest prince cannot come out, so someone has to check and balance the crown prince. Everyone has long guessed what titles Kangxi will give to his sons.

It was not remarkable that the Fourth Prince was awarded the title of Prince, because the Third Prince before him and the Fifth Prince after him were both princes. If the Fourth Prince was not, he would have been disliked by Emperor Kangxi.

But the imperial edict that followed made everyone look at the Fourth Prince with new eyes. After the Fourth Prince was named Prince Yong, Kangxi also ordered the Ministry of Works to build the Yuanmingyuan Garden to the north of Changchun Garden and gave it to the Fourth Prince to live in.

This treatment was unprecedented. Not to mention that the garden bestowed by Emperor Kangxi was not something that everyone could have, and the treatment of having the garden built next to Changchun Garden given to the Fourth Prince, was it something that the Fourth Prince could have?

What is Changchun Garden? It was Kangxi's summer resort. Kangxi spent about half of his time in Changchun Garden. How proud the Fourth Prince would be to have Kangxi allocate a piece of land next to it! The other princes thought sourly.

The fourth prince suppressed his joy in his heart. If there is no gain, wouldn't it be in vain that I followed the old man to reminisce about the prince in the past few months? However, this also confirmed the path that the fourth prince wanted to take. Kangxi was old, and it was also human nature to hope that his children could be more filial.
