Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Yixiu was eating breakfast in a daze when Jianqiu came in to report, "Fujin, except for Concubine Nian, everyone else is here."

Yixiu blinked, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar, "Even Lu Gege is here?"

Jianqiu replied, "Lü Gege came early."

What is this? Just because you've been caught in the rain, you want to tear up other people's umbrellas? If it works for others, it's really a failure for Nian Shilan.

Although he knew that Nian Shilan wouldn't care, Yixiu still adhered to the principle of treating everyone equally and asked someone to notify Nian Shilan to come as soon as possible.

Songzhi smiled and sent away the maid who came to deliver the message, and asked Nian Shilan, "Master, should we speed up?"

Nian Shilan sneered, "You're trying to intimidate me! Humph! I just won't fall for it. It's still early, why are you in such a hurry?"

Nian Shilan even deliberately slowed down her pace, leisurely enjoying the scenery along the way.

The people who had gathered in Xili Courtyard a long time ago were getting anxious as the time for paying respects was approaching and Nian Shilan had not shown up yet. They had been thinking of squeezing Nian Shilan out, but what was going on when the real host didn't show up?

Li Jingyan twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "Why hasn't the concubine come yet?"

Qi Yuebin was also puzzled. Would Nian Shilan provoke Fu Jin like this on the first day? But for the sake of future plans, Qi Yuebin still spoke well of Nian Shilan, "Sister Nian just entered the mansion yesterday. It is inevitable that she will feel unwell for the first time to sleep with the emperor. It is normal for her to arrive later."

Li Jingyan was not polite to Qi Yuebin at all, "Sister Lu was like this back then, but she came early, didn't she?"

Lu Yingfeng thought, you also know that I arrived early at that time? You were the first to fire the cannon back then, how dare you bring it up? Bah, bah, bah, what back then? If you don't know, you would think Lu Yingfeng is already old and ugly!

Lu Yingfeng interrupted, "Sister Li is an old veteran, and she must have seen many new people entering the mansion over the years. I wonder if they can come and pay their respects to the concubine early?"

Li Jingyan felt that what Lu Yingfeng said was not a good thing, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it, so he could only glare at Lu Yingfeng and stop talking.

Just as the people inside quieted down, Nian Shilan arrived.

Li Jingyan instantly forgot the unhappiness just now and said blankly, "If Sister Nian had come any later, I'm afraid the greetings would have been over!"

Nian Shilan had developed feelings for the Fourth Prince. Even though she was prepared, she still couldn't help but feel annoyed when she saw so many women. Li Jingyan didn't know how to read people's faces and approached her, "I guess this must be Concubine Li! I only have a younger sister at home, so there's no need to call her so affectionately."

Nian Shilan was almost writing "Who is your sister?" on her face. Li Jingyan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Nian Shilan was just firing a map cannon. What she said just now was not only about Li Jingyan, but also about everyone present. Therefore, even Qi Yuebin, who wanted to get along well with Nian Shilan, was unwilling to say anything to ease the atmosphere.

Yixiu had no choice but to save the situation and sat in the main seat with a smile.

Nian Shilan looked at Yixiu with hostility. She thought that Yixiu, who had married the Fourth Prince early, would have been old and ugly, but she did not expect Yixiu to be so young and beautiful. Although she was a little inferior to Nian Shilan, there was no one more beautiful than her in the backyard.

Yixiu seemed unaware of Nian Shilan's observation. She smiled and said a few words, then asked Nian Shilan to start serving tea and paying respects.

Nian Shilan handed Yixiu tea with a hint of rebelliousness. Yixiu still maintained a smiling attitude and took the tea. "I just got a pomegranate ornament, so I gave it to Sister Nian. I hope that Sister can give birth to more children for the prince."

What kind of fancy clothes and jewelry has Nian Shilan not seen? Even if Yixiu gave her something nice, it wouldn't shake Nian Shilan. It would be better to give her a gift with good meaning.

Sure enough, even someone as proud as Nian Shilan would be happy and shy at the thought of having a child with her beloved. Nian Shilan was indeed very satisfied with the gift and no longer showed hostility towards Yixiu.

Nian Shilan was a concubine with a high status, so she only performed the equal salute to Li Jingyan. Then others performed the salute to Nian Shilan.

As she recognized each person one by one, Nian Shilan felt jealous.

Li Jingyan was wearing a light pink Manchu dress, and she didn't look like a married woman at all. Nian Shilan was disdainful, thinking that she had given birth to two children, and yet she was still wearing such delicate clothes, which was really shameless.

Qi Yuebin's outfit was somewhat similar to Nian Shilan's. Qi Yuebin was dignified, polite, and gentle, and looked more like an orchid in the valley than Nian Shilan. Nian Shilan regretted wearing this dress even more after seeing Qi Yuebin's outfit.

Lu Yingfeng was also good, with a straightforward personality and always smiling, which was different from Nian Shilan's cheerful style. Nian Shilan looked at the gorgeous beauties in front of her, as if she was soaked in bitter water. These beauties, each with their own characteristics, the prince was really blessed.

Nian Shilan suppressed her bitterness and recognized everyone. After Yixiu said to dismiss, she rushed out, not wanting to see the room full of beautiful girls.

Qi Yuebin saw Nian Shilan walking in a hurry, so he quickly followed her and called out to her, "Concubine Nian!"

Nian Shilan suppressed her anxiety and looked back at Qi Yuebin, "It turned out to be Concubine Qi. What's the matter with calling me?"

Qi Yuebin smiled and said, "I just heard that Concubine's family is also a military general. Maybe I can chat with Concubine and we can be companions in the future."

Nian Shilan was not moved by these words, but she also wanted to avoid hitting someone who was smiling, "Madam Qi, how about we talk while walking?"

Qi Yuebin was not rejected by Nian Shilan at the first time, and went with Nian Shilan very politely, "Before I got married, I was also proficient in riding and archery."

This surprised Nian Shilan a little. After all, Qi Yuebin didn't look like someone who could ride a horse.

Qi Yuebin understood Nian Shilan's surprise, and he himself had never expected to become such a person. He could only explain helplessly, "The prince likes women who are well-read in poetry and books the most."

So Qi Yuebin gave up the riding and archery he had practiced since childhood, and began to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting according to the Fourth Prince's interests.

This made Nian Shilan a little nervous, "Is what Concubine Qi said true?"

Nian Shilan began to regret why she didn't study hard. Doesn't that mean she has nothing in common with the Fourth Prince now?

Seeing Nian Shilan's face full of regret, she was much cuter than the cold and arrogant one at the beginning. Qi Yuebin comforted her and said, "With such a beautiful concubine, how could the prince let the pearl be covered in dust?"

Nian Shilan pouted and muttered, "The prince is not so superficial! I will definitely be able to communicate with the prince!"

Telepathy? Who would not want to be in touch with the Fourth Prince when entering the mansion? Qi Yuebin looked at Nian Shilan, as if he was looking at his past self, which was just an illusion.
