Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

In the study of the Lu family, Lu Tong looked at the letter that had traveled thousands of miles from the capital, and was a little undecided. He was a moderate and cautious person. If Sichuan had not become the key to the battle against Tibet, Lu Tong would not have sought refuge with a prince. Anyway, the emperor was far away, and it was not too late to consider the future after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Originally, getting involved in the fight for the throne was the most risky thing Lu Tong had ever done, but he didn't expect that his daughter was bolder than him. The next emperor hasn't been decided yet, but she's already planning to get involved.

Lu Yingfeng is the most similar to Lu Tong among the children. They are both able to endure loneliness and then act decisively to give the enemy a fatal blow. Since Lu Yingfeng has this idea, it must not be aimless.

Moreover, Lu Yingfeng spoke sincerely in the letter about Yixiu's advantages, saying that her favor and power were all given by Prince Yong, so there was nothing to worry about. However, the biggest bargaining chip was Yixiu's eldest prince and her uncle from her natal family.

There are only two princes in Prince Yong's mansion now. The third prince was born to the Han army flag, and his mother's family has no power. The age gap between him and his eldest brother is seven years, which shows that anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the third prince does not even have the strength to compete.

As for the princes born later by Prince Yong? The eldest prince Honghui is already fifteen years old. How can the infants rely on their strength? Do they rely on breastfeeding?

Let's talk about Jiang Chen. At the beginning of the 51st year of Kangxi's reign, he was promoted to the third rank of Dali Temple. According to the rule of half-level promotion every three years, he will be promoted to the second rank in three months. Except for the idle positions, the second rank in Beijing is limited, including the left and right assistant ministers of the six ministries, the cabinet scholars, and the president of the Hanlin Academy.

Jiang Chen does not have enough qualifications for the position of President of the Hanlin Academy, but he is suitable for the position of Vice Minister of the Six Ministries. However, Lu Tong is unsure about the position of Cabinet Bachelor, who is a subordinate of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, which means he has one foot in the cabinet.

Lu Tong thought about it and felt that Jiang Chen would not be able to become a cabinet scholar, but what if? The current Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Scholar was Li Guangdi, who was also the head of the cabinet, and Jiang Chen was Li Guangdi's student.

After Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the second time, he showed special favor to the few remaining old ministers. He petitioned Li Guangdi several times to retire, and even said, "Seeing your memorial, I feel sad. Thinking back to the old ministers, they are gone now. There are only one or two people like you still in the court. Now I am old, and I really can't bear to say anything more."

Li Guangdi was repeatedly given more titles. In June of this year, Li Guangdi again requested to take a leave of absence. Kangxi granted him two years of leave, allowing him to return to Beijing after dealing with family affairs.

Kangxi was a man who was particular about balance even in the harem. If there was a concubine with a high position with the same surname, the rest of the concubines with the same surname would not even be able to occupy the position. This was even more true in the previous dynasty. Father and son, master and apprentice, as long as one person was in a high position, the others would have to wait. Now that Li Guangdi was no longer in the front, wouldn't Jiang Chen's hope of getting promoted be greater?

All in all, Jiang Chen had a bright future. Lu Tong couldn't help but be moved. He focused his eyes and wrote a letter in a flash.

While waiting for Lu Tong's reply, Lu Yingfeng did not just sit there and wait, but continued to visit Yixiu at the frequency of every two or three days.

After going there so many times, Yixiu couldn't keep Lv Yingfeng out all the time, so she would occasionally invite her in to talk. Fortunately, Lv Yingfeng was straightforward and interesting, so Yixiu didn't feel embarrassed when she introduced the customs and practices of Shu.

After finishing the chatting service, Lu Yingfeng walked back to the yard with a sore back. Every time he went to Xiliyuan, he always had to bring some gifts. Fuyao Pavilion was far away from Xiliyuan, and he couldn't make any mistakes in etiquette when talking to Yixiu. He always had to sit upright. Wouldn't it be tiring?

When they returned to the courtyard, the eldest princess, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed over and called out to her mother in a crisp voice, "Mother! Mother!"

When Lu Yingfeng saw the eldest princess rushing over, he immediately bent down and caught her, "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

The eldest princess leaned against Lu Yingfeng, smiled sweetly and said, "With mommy not around, there's no one to play with Jiaojiao!"

A child under four years old would be frightening no matter what she did. How could the servants dare to let the eldest princess walk around freely? The eldest princess had no playmates of the same age, and Lv Yingfeng, who could play with her, was often away, so she would naturally feel lonely.

But the eldest princess inherited Lu Yingfeng's positive character. She would not cry or lose her temper even when she was bored. As long as she saw her mother, she would be happy like a little sun.

This made Lu Yingfeng feel both pity and guilt. If she was a capable mother, why would her daughter need to wait for her mother to come home every day? At the same time, she also made up her mind to find a way to earn a future for the eldest princess.

After playing with the eldest princess for a while, having dinner and putting her to sleep, Lu Yingfeng finally had time to read Lu Tong's letter.

Seeing the care and support in his father's letter, Lv Yingfeng, a free-spirited person, felt homesick. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and he wondered if his father, mother, and brothers would celebrate the reunion festival like they did when they were away from home. But without Lv Yingfeng, the family could no longer be together.

Lu Yingfeng was tired, and Yixiu was not relaxed either, but fortunately she did not need to worry about the children like Lu Yingfeng, so after resting for a while, she had the strength to eat dinner. Today, the Fourth Prince went to see Nian Shilan again, and Yixiu ordered a table of dishes that suited her taste. She was really happy.

After eating, Yixiu instructed Jianqiu, "It's the season for eating osmanthus flowers. The cakes made with fresh osmanthus flowers are more fragrant than those made with dried ones. Ask the kitchen to make some more and send some to Honghui."

Jianqiu agreed with a smile. The current situation was tense, and Yixiu dared not overestimate the moral bottom line of political creatures, so all things sent to Honghui would be carefully monitored by Jianqiu.

Speaking of Honghui, Jianqiu recalled something she had overheard, "Prince Hongxi and the young master don't get along well in the palace. Last time I went to deliver something to the young master, Prince Hongxi hid at the side and peeped at me with a sinister look on his face."

Now the prince's family has been imprisoned, and only Hongxi has won Kangxi's love and is brought up by his side. Without the love of his father and mother, it is normal for people to be jealous when they see Honghui being loved by his mother, but Hongxi showed a hatred that made people feel chilling.

Yixiu was helpless. Kangxi clearly did not want to consider abolishing the lineage of the crown prince, but he chose to use Hongxi as a target. Even if the crown prince wanted to leave a way out for his children at the beginning, under Kangxi's instigation, he could not raise a child with a normal mentality and know how to advance and retreat.

Under the arrangement of Concubine De, Honghui also gained favor with Kangxi, but didn't this arouse the hostility of Hongxi? He had no father and mother to rely on, only a grandfather whose mind was unclear, which was also pitiful.
