Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

As for Lu Yingfeng's guess about the concubine, it was correct. Even though Li Jingyan had not grown any brains over the years, she knew what could be done and what could not be done. She was better than Nian Shilan, who relied on the Nian family to enter the mansion.

Although Yi Xiu now has a stronger backing than Nian Shilan, it is so tiring to deal with Nian Shilan, especially after the child is gone. Nian Shilan, who has turned ten times stronger after turning evil, is like a mad dog, holding on to Big Fatty and biting whoever she catches.

Therefore, Yixiu had to raise Li Jingyan before the Nian family pledged allegiance to the Fourth Prince.

The fifteenth day arrived again, and the Fourth Prince came to Xiliyuan as usual to have dinner and stay overnight.

After the meal, the Fourth Prince wiped his mouth and said, "Xiaoyi's food is the best for me. This lotus seed soup is refreshing and refreshing. It is the most delicious thing to eat in summer."

Yixiu smiled slightly, "As long as it can relieve my fatigue, Xiaoyi's kindness will not be in vain."

Although they were an old couple, Yixiu was not yet thirty years old and she looked like she was in her early twenties due to proper maintenance. Her gentleness and tenderness still amazed the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince held Yixiu's hand and helped her digest the food after the meal as usual.

As Yixiu walked, she talked about the Third Prince, "Master, Hongshi is almost old enough to go to school. You have to ask for the Emperor's grace."

The grace that Yixiu mentioned here was to allow Hongshi to study in the Shangshufang. Not all the emperor's grandsons could study in the Shangshufang. In addition to the legitimate sons, the more favored illegitimate sons, and the illegitimate sons who were trained as the princes in families without legitimate sons, could enter the Shangshufang.

However, if they are favored by Kangxi, it is not impossible to put all the children into the Shangshufang to study. Prince Yong's mansion now has only two children, Honghui and Hongshi. It is not difficult to send Hongshi to the Shangshufang.

The Fourth Prince frowned, "If he enters the palace, Hongshi won't be able to return home easily, and that ignorant woman Li will probably make trouble again."

Yixiu explained, "Sister Li is just very fond of her son. If she knew that this was for Hongshi's future, she would not object."

The Fourth Prince fully understood Li Jingyan's nature and was not as optimistic as Yixiu. "You'll talk to Li about this when the time comes!"

Yixiu continued to talk about this topic, "Now that Hongshi has grown up, shouldn't Sister Li take over her position? After all, Hongshi will have to come into contact with outsiders, and speaking of his biological mother, it is also a loss of face for our Prince Yong's Mansion."

The Fourth Prince looked at Yixiu, who had no selfish motives, and said helplessly, "Other people's wives would like to suppress their concubines, but Xiaoyi is so good that she wants to respect them."

Yixiu just looked at the Fourth Prince affectionately, "Xiaoyi is only thinking about you."

Looking at Yixiu, with whom he had been deeply in love for decades, the Fourth Prince felt his heart boiling with joy, and he became more in favor of Yixiu's idea of ​​promoting Li Jingyan to the position of concubine.

Yixiu struck while the iron was hot, "Master, Sister Li gave birth to two sons and raised the Third Prince. With such qualifications, she still cannot be promoted. How disheartening it is for the sisters?"

The Fourth Prince thought about his three empty concubine positions, and it would not look good if all of them were vacant. It would be fine to give one to Li Jingyan, so he agreed to Yixiu, "Then I will follow Xiaoyi's wishes and submit a memorial to the Emperor."

Yixiu pulled the Fourth Prince's hand and begged him to let this matter go.

What else could the Fourth Prince do? He just forgave Yixiu with a smile.

In the following days, Lu Gege was the only one in the backyard.

The Fourth Prince had long been tired of the old people. The new arrival, Lu Gege, was good-looking, cheerful, and capable. Although she spoke a little bluntly, she would never be inappropriate in front of the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince didn't care who Lu Yingfeng quarreled with every day.

Lu Yingfeng was in good health and became pregnant within a few months.

Lu Yingfeng's child is not even three months old. Yi Xiu knew about this, thanks to the spies throughout the mansion. After all, not wanting to get involved in the turmoil in the backyard is different from being plotted against. Without enough spies to monitor every move in the backyard, you can never imagine what bad ideas these people will come up with (Yi Xiu's words).

Originally, I thought Lu Yingfeng was going to reveal the news after three months, but unexpectedly, more than two months later, Lu Yingfeng asked Mian'er to come to Xiliyuan to report the good news.

When Yixiu heard the news, she was surprised, but she was happy to improve Lu Gege's treatment, first enjoying the share of concubines, and then confirming the status of concubines after giving birth. This process is very familiar, but every time a woman enjoys this treatment, she can update a batch of porcelain and cloth in the backyard.

Lu Yingfeng announced the news of her pregnancy half a month in advance because of her interactions with the Fourth Prince over the past few months. Although the Fourth Prince basically did not pay attention to the gossip in the backyard, his attitude was very firm, that is, to find Fu Jin if there was any problem, and Fu Jin's attitude was the same as the Fourth Prince's attitude.

Then Lu Yingfeng could not show any defense or hostility towards the always kind Fu Jin. If she had such a tendency, Lu Yingfeng would have gone to Jinxuan to accompany Guaerjia Gege. Therefore, Lu Yingfeng pretended to be inexperienced and announced her pregnancy at the right time.

The Fourth Prince did not notice Lu Yingfeng's little thoughts. He was very happy that a new life would be born in the backyard. Lu Gege had been in the Fourth Prince's heart for the past few months, so the Fourth Prince still sent people to secretly protect Lu Gege, the same group of people who protected Li Jingyan back then. After all, the Fourth Prince only had one prince at that time, which was really pitiful.

In order to prevent others from doubting his ability, the Fourth Prince pinched his nose and asked someone to protect Li Jingyan's belly, so that he could protect the child first when necessary. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Li Jingyan, who only remembered to eat but not to be beaten, to give birth to the Third Prince safely even with vigilance.

While Lu Yingfeng was concentrating on preparing for childbirth, the Fourth Prince had little time to linger in the backyard.

What is the Fourth Prince doing? He is flirting with Nian Gengyao in the front court!

The Qing Dynasty had an eight-banner policy, and each banner had a banner master. The Yellow Banner, Bordered Yellow Banner, and White Banner were led by the emperor himself, and the other five banner masters were all descendants of Aisin-Gioro. But seventy or eighty years have passed since the founding of the country, and many of the five banner masters are now more distantly related to Kangxi.

So Kangxi also took the opportunity of making his son a prince to let his son take back the Eight Banners. Now that his son has become an adult and independent, he still has to prepare property for him! It's not that a prince can't be better than a commoner, right? Kangxi relied on this logic, my son is a prince, so why can't he be a subordinate of my father? Slowly take back the Eight Banners.

After all, if the princes wanted to compete for the throne, they had to acknowledge the legitimacy of Kangxi, instead of being like before when the bannermen had no idea who the emperor was.

The flag division commander that Nian Gengyao served under (Chen Jifan's commander) originally belonged to Prince Su Haoge's illegitimate son, Beile Yanshou. In the 48th year, the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, was conferred the title of Prince Heshuo Yong, and according to the rules, he obtained some commanders of the Bordered White Banner, including the flag division commander that Nian Gengyao served under, and thus it was transferred from Yanshou to Yinzhen's subordinates.
