Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince also felt that his handling of the matter was perfect. Looking at the gentle Yi Xiu, he said, "I will stay at Xiao Yi's place today."

Yixiu said with some joy and some reproach, "Just now I said that I should lead by example, but you are so good. Now, I came to the front yard and took you away directly. I don't know how the sisters will talk about Xiaoyi behind her back?"

The Fourth Prince just hugged Yi Xiu and said, "My Lord and Xiao Yi are a legitimate couple, who dares to say anything?"

Yixiu just leaned against the Fourth Prince and didn't say anything.

At Lanyun Villa, Nian Shilan stood at the door, looking at the courtyard gate, pacing back and forth somewhat anxiously.

With a creak, the courtyard gate opened. Nian Shilan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly took a few steps forward to see who came in.

But to Nian Shilan's disappointment, it was Songzhi who pushed the door open. Nian Shilan looked behind Songzhi desperately, trying to find a familiar figure, but there was only a quiet alley outside the door and no one passed by.

Nian Shilan leaned against the door and asked quietly, "Did the prince go to Qi's place?"

Song Zhi said quickly, "Your Majesty, no, what status does Qi Shufujin have that is worthy of your majesty's lowering of status?"

Nian Shilan continued to look into the distance, waiting for her lover, "Where is the prince?"

Songzhi gently uttered the name that would surely anger Nian Shilan, "Fujin went to the front yard to look for the prince today. The prince couldn't refuse, so he followed Fujin to Xili Courtyard."

Songzhi's words were very well said. Nian Shilan would definitely not accept the Fourth Prince taking the initiative to go to another woman, so it could only be that Yixiu seduced him deliberately.

When Nian Shilan heard this answer, he slammed the door angrily and said with gritted teeth, "Fujin, that old woman is already old and gray, but she still clings to me. She has learned all the books on "Female Rules" and "Female Virtues" like a dog!"

After all, this was a busy entrance, so Songzhi timidly reminded Nian Shilan, "Master, it's cold outside, why don't you go inside first?"

Nian Shilan's anger was followed by deep sorrow. "There is no prince in this room. Why should I go back? I am left alone."

Songzhi could only try her best to comfort him, "It's just that Fu Jin took advantage of her status today. The prince shouldn't embarrass Fu Jin. The prince must love the master the most."

Nian Shilan followed Songzhi's words and stroked her cheek to comfort herself, "That's right, what does that old woman have? The prince naturally cares about me the most."

With confidence, Nian Shilan stopped waiting for her husband. She hurried into the house and said, "I haven't taken good care of myself today. If the prince comes tomorrow and can't see my most beautiful side, wouldn't that be disrespectful?"

Seeing that Nian Shilan had recovered, Songzhi raised her head and directed the maids to prepare the things necessary for Nian Shilan's maintenance.

Nian Shilan was proud of her beauty and also felt the Fourth Prince's amazement at her beauty, so even though she was not old enough, she was very concerned about maintenance. Whether it was her face or her hands, she would go through complicated steps every day to carefully take care of them.

It was not so lively inside Wangshu Pavilion. Although Qi Yuebin was not as obvious as Nian Shilan, he would glance outside from time to time, hoping that his sweetheart would suddenly appear like that day and bring infinite warmth and beauty.

But seeing the stars twinkling in the sky, no one called out "Yue Bin". Qi Yue Bin comforted herself, she had already informed the Fourth Prince, so wasn't it natural that the Fourth Prince didn't show up?

But isn't he curious about why I got hurt suddenly? Isn't he worried about my physical discomfort? Even if he doesn't stay overnight, just coming to take a look is fine! Qi Yuebin thought sadly.

Only a few months had passed, and Qi Yuebin could no longer bear the loneliness of Wangshu Pavilion. She sat in front of the dressing mirror, stroking herself in the mirror. The mirror surface was cold to the touch, just like Qi Yuebin's cold heart.

Ruyi came back with the news that the Fourth Prince stayed overnight in Xiliyuan.

Qi Yuebin was happy that the Fourth Prince did not go directly to Nian Shilan, but was also sad that neither she nor Nian Shilan could compare to the importance of Yixiu in the Fourth Prince's heart.

Qi Yuebin seemed to be talking to himself, or asking Jixiang Ruyi, "Isn't it too monotonous to just play chess when the prince comes?"

Jixiang was even more distracted, thinking that Qi Yuebin was asking for his opinion, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then why don't you show us some more talents, Master?"

Ruyi disagreed and said, "You have to learn everything from scratch. You may not get any reward in the end even if you invest a lot. The risk is too great."

Qi Yuebin made up his mind as the two maids argued, "I have to put in the effort. If I want to keep the prince's favor, I have to come up with new tricks."

Seeing that Qi Yuebin had made up his mind, Jixiang Ruyi did not try to persuade him and they started discussing what to learn directly.

"Dancing is definitely not an option. The master's body shape is already in place. If he learns, he will not be able to compete with those who have already gained virginity. It would be better for him to learn a musical instrument. I heard that the prince is also quite knowledgeable about music."

"Then we should choose an elegant instrument to highlight the master's taste."

"If I blow with my mouth, my cheeks will hurt. I'd rather learn to play with my hands."

"That's right, what about learning the guqin, pipa, yangqin, guzheng...?"

Qi Yuebin thought about it carefully and decided to learn the pipa.

Qi Yuebin did what he said, and the next day he asked the Qi family to find a pipa teacher. In the following days, Qi Yuebin calmed down and concentrated on learning pipa.

Nian Shilan was much more irritable. Since that day, the Fourth Prince had not come to Lanyun Villa for a long time.

Nian Shilan had no other choice but to lean against the door every day waiting for the Fourth Prince to come, but the Fourth Prince hadn't seen Nian Shilan for half a month.

Nian Shilan realized that although the Fourth Prince did not punish her, he still suspected her. She was panicked and said, "The prince doesn't want me anymore. He probably thinks I'm a vicious woman and will never come to Lanyun Villa again."

Songzhi could only hasten to comfort him, "How could the prince not want the master?"

But as soon as Songzhi spoke, Nian Shilan remembered that Songzhi had given her advice on how to teach Qi Yuebin a lesson, and twisted Songzhi's arm angrily, "It was you who bewitched me to teach Qi a lesson. Now, the prince will never come again!"

Songzhi ignored the severe pain in her arm and slapped her face with her other hand, saying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Seeing Songzhi's cheeks swell up, Nian Shilan calmed down, "Okay, even if you die, it won't change the current situation. The most important thing now is to win back the prince's heart."

Songzhi stopped, ignoring the pain on her face, and gave Nian Shilan some advice, "It is said that a meeting can only bring about a little affection. As long as the master meets the prince and talks to him, the prince will definitely forgive the master."

Nian Shilan pulled herself together and said, "You are right. As long as I admit my mistake to the prince, he will not abandon me."
