Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

If Yixiu were to ask, who could be blamed for this? It was Defei herself who should be blamed.

The people chosen for the Fourteenth Prince, from the first wife to the concubines, are all Manchu princesses with a name and surname? When it comes to the Fourth Prince, all of them are girls from the Han Army Banner. It's not that the Fourth Prince is not interested in Han women, but what's the point of favoring Han women who can't help the Fourth Prince?

You know, the Fourth Prince's mind is now completely focused on his career, and it is common for him not to come to the backyard for ten days or half a month. Concubine De assigns people to him without considering the Fourth Prince's career ambition. It's strange that the Fourth Prince can have any mind for his concubines.

There was no point in thinking so much, Yixiu sighed and told Jianqiu, "Go tell Lu Gege to come over as soon as possible."

In this life, Yixiu is determined to follow the path of being virtuous in the backyard and competing for hegemony in the front dynasty, so she is not stingy in helping the neutral faction to improve their favorability.

Lu Gege was a smart person. When she received Yixiu's message, she was already halfway there. She ignored the discomfort of her first time serving the emperor and walked quickly to Xili Courtyard, even a quarter of an hour earlier than usual. But she was still quite late compared to the others who had sat down early.

Li Jingyan, who was careless, immediately started to fire, "Sister Lu is more respectable than us old people. She dared to come so late for her first visit."

Lu Gege was not tolerant either. She asked in surprise, "Look at what this sister said. I am late? But Aunt Jianqiu didn't tell me to change the time of greeting!"

Li Jingyan was speechless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Yixiu stopped listening to the fun from behind. She sat in the main seat and smoothed things over, "The sisters are having a good time chatting."

Qi Yuebin responded tacitly, "Thanks to Madam Fu's mercy, the sisters will naturally relax a little."

Yi Xiu naturally wouldn't expose Qi Yuebin's words, "Sister Qi is just sweet-talking. I got some fabric a while ago. Sister, take it back later."

Li Jingyan was unwilling to let Qi Yuebin win first, so she said, "This new sister Lu hasn't received the gift yet, but sister Qi got there first."

How could Lu Gege allow Qi Yuebin to draw hatred towards her? She quickly said, "Sister Qi is speaking the voice of the sisters. I also hope to learn some of Sister Qi's exquisite thoughts, and thank Madam Fu for her kindness!"

Seeing that Li Jingyan was about to cause trouble again, Yixiu could only take over the topic, "The most important thing today is Sister Lu's greeting tea. Everything else should be put aside for now. The most important thing is to let Sister Lu recognize the person first."

Having said that, everyone naturally sat upright and watched Lu Gege pay her respects to Fu Jin first.

Lü Gege held up the teacup and said, "My name is Lü Yingfeng, and I'm here to pay my respects to Madam Fu Jin."

Yixiu had no intention of making things difficult for Lu Yingfeng. She took the teacup and took a sip. She didn't have anything special to tell Lu Yingfeng. She just took off a crystal clear bracelet from her hand and said, "This bracelet suits your skin tone very well. I hope you don't mind it."

Lu Yingfeng looked at the bracelet. He had never seen such a good thing at home, so there was no reason to dislike it. He was also moved in his heart. Whether it was the kind reminder just now or the generous gift now, Fu Jin did not seem to be stingy.

Lu Yingfeng greeted everyone one by one and was considered to have initially integrated into Prince Yong's mansion.

After paying respects, Lu Yingfeng felt exhausted. Dealing with the women in the backyard was more tiring than serving the Fourth Prince yesterday. He had to think over every word and action several times before he dared to speak them out, fearing that others would catch him doing something wrong and make a fool of himself on the first day. After returning to his own courtyard, Lu Yingfeng first leaned on the couch to rest for a while.

After recovering from the shock and drinking a cup of warming red date tea, Lu Yingfeng began to ask the maidservant she brought into the mansion, Mian'er, "Mian'er, have you found out everything I asked you to find out?"

Mian'er answered clearly, "Princess, in addition to the one you saw today, there is another princess named Guaerjia who is imprisoned in Qujinxuan. She entered the palace at the same time as the concubine, but somehow she angered the prince and was demoted from concubine to princess. She is also imprisoned in Qujinxuan and cannot leave for life."

Lu Yingfeng frowned. It was not difficult to find out about the exciting stories of the two concubines who entered the palace, but after a few years, Guaerjia ended up like this. Lu Yingfeng was a little worried. Was there any trickery done by Yixiu? If it was really done by Yixiu, it would be too frightening.

Mian'er continued, "I also heard that this Guarjia Gege has a very bad temper and likes to take her anger out on people. She was even punished by the prince for corporal punishment of a palace maid!"

At this point, Mian'er was somewhat indignant. Servants like them depended on their masters for survival. If they didn't have a good master, they would suffer all their lives.

Lu Yingfeng had other doubts. "Back then, Guaerjia entered the palace as a concubine. I think Princess Guaerjia's family must be powerful. Did they allow Princess Guaerjia to be imprisoned for life?"

This was not something Mian'er could find out. She was about to apologize, but Lu Yingfeng knew that this was not something Mian'er could find out, so he was not displeased. He also warned Mian'er, "There must be something wrong with Guarjia Gege's affairs. Don't ask about it anymore."

Although Lu Yingfeng was bold, he knew his limits. Since there was no news about this matter, the Fourth Prince must have kept it secret. If he asked around, he would easily be implicated.

After talking about Guaerjia Gege, Lu Yingfeng talked about another matter of concern, "Today's Li Shufujin is like a lit firecracker. What kind of person is she?"

Mian'er knew this, and she said with great joy, "I heard that this Li Shufu gave birth to the second prince in the thirty-ninth year, but unfortunately she didn't keep him alive, and he died in the forty-first year. The prince doesn't like women who can't keep their children, so Li Shufu fell out of favor for a few years. But Li Shufu is really beautiful, so she regained favor.

In the forty-third year, Li Shufu gave birth to the third prince. Perhaps stimulated by the early death of the second prince, Li Shufu stared at the third prince as if he were her own eyeball. She held the third prince in her arms every day and refused to let go. She even quarreled with the prince several times for this!

Lu Yingfeng asked in confusion, "Based on her qualifications, Li Shufujin should have been a concubine at least. Why is she still a concubine?"

Mian'er replied, "It's because Li Shufu Jin relied on being the biological mother of the Third Prince to climb up the social ladder, but the Prince didn't buy it at all.

If I were to ask you, it was because Concubine Li was too greedy. How could the prince not see Concubine Li's contribution in raising the Third Prince? But she insisted on asking the Third Prince to give her a position. When the prince heard that the Third Prince wanted to ask for a position for his mother, his face turned pale! "
