Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 201 Innocent Heart

Seeing that Nian Shilan's eyes were about to turn red with anger, Li Jingyan was even more proud. He stood up straight and refused to show weakness. The two of them fought with their eyes.

"The sisters gathered together to chat and laugh, it is really a charming sight." A voice interrupted, breaking the smoky atmosphere.

It turned out that the Fourth Prince and Yi Xiu came to the banquet.

"My master is very busy with affairs, and it is because of the hard work of Yixiu in taking care of my backyard that we can have so many flowers blooming today." The Fourth Prince thought Yixiu was a little jealous, so he hurried to comfort her.

Yixiu just replied affectionately, "I am not tired."

Nian Shilan couldn't stand the affection between the Fourth Prince and Yixiu, so she came over charmingly and saluted the Fourth Prince, "Your Highness's eyes are full of Fu Jin, and he can't see Shilan right in front of him."

The Fourth Prince could only look at Yi Xiu with guilt, and after receiving a look of understanding from her, he turned around and spoke to Nian Shilan, "You are full of sourness in your words, and it makes others laugh."

Nian Shilan came close to the Fourth Prince and said, "Shilan doesn't care what others think! As long as the prince can see it, it's fine."

Li Jingyan was not willing to let Nian Shilan take the spotlight alone. "Your Highness, Hongshi has grown taller recently! I wonder if he is eating well and sleeping well in the palace?"

The Fourth Prince felt a headache when he thought of his son Hongshi, who was already dull. Why did he only grow taller but not smarter?

Seeing that the Fourth Prince didn't want to pay attention to Li Jingyan, Yixiu couldn't let Li Jingyan lose face, so she could only say, "I heard from Honghui that Hongshi gets along very well with the brothers in the Shangshufang. Even the Emperor said that Hongshi has a pure heart."

The fact that Hongshi, a nobody, could receive praise from Kangxi was inseparable from the help of Honghui.

The Shangshufang was a small court. As the competition among the princes became more and more intense, the scholarly princes also formed small groups with clear-cut positions.

Hongxi was the son of the deposed crown prince. Because of his status as the crown prince's son, he had been flattered by everyone, and he had also faced people who treated him with respect on the surface, but looked down on him in private, because his father had been deposed, but Hongxi was still able to walk around in the palace and even raised by Kangxi's side, and was Kangxi's favorite grandson.

The crown prince has been deposed, so why can Hongxi still enjoy such treatment? Does he really think he is the center of attention?

Hongxi experienced such ups and downs twice, so he didn't make any friends in the Shangshufang. He just imitated the prince of that year and lived aloofly away from everyone.

Honghui, as a grandson also loved by Kangxi, is more gentle, perhaps influenced by Jiang Chen. He is not as good at networking as the Eighth Prince. He is more of a gentleman with a simple relationship and is polite to everyone. However, the only people he gets along well with are his younger brother Hongshi and several princes from the Thirteenth Prince's family.

The rest were the children of the eighty, ninety and tenth princes who huddled together. The other princes who had no other ideas had already told their children to be honest and low-key and not to get involved.

Honghui is not to be trifled with, and Hongshi is often bullied because he is not smart enough. However, he has a good personality and just smiles foolishly and does not take these disgusting little actions seriously.

It's just that people don't want to hurt tigers, but tigers want to hurt people. The disgusting little actions became more and more evil, and they even pushed Hongshi in front of Kangxi.

Originally, Kangxi was in a good mood and gathered his grandchildren together for hunting to see who could catch the most prey.

Hongshi was pretty good at riding and shooting, and as long as he was patient in hunting, he could get a good ranking. But the annoying ones came to make trouble again. Whenever Hongshi saw prey, he would deliberately make a noise nearby to scare the prey away; or he would shoot the prey first, then pretend to be embarrassed and say that he didn't see Hongshi, and Hongshi would be good-tempered and not care.

A little here and there, when the game was almost over, Hongshi did not have any prey in his hand. Honghui, who had already caught all the prey, came to see Hongshi's situation and realized that Hongshi was being targeted. However, since Kangxi was the most important, he could only resolve Hongshi's crisis first.

Honghui shared the prey in his hand with Hongshi. After all, he killed more, so it didn't matter if he killed less. Hongshi knew that Hongxi had always been trying to compete with Honghui. If he lost this time, Hongxi would be angry for who knows how long. Therefore, Hongshi refused to accept the prey.

Just as Honghui was about to use his authority as an elder brother to force Hongshi to accept the food, Hongxi appeared out of nowhere and dropped a small pile of prey. "You didn't even notice that your brother was bullied. How shameful!" After saying that, Hongxi rode away.

Hongxi and Honghui were equally good at riding and archery. Honghui was a little less skilled, and so was Hongxi, but it did not affect the final result.

Hongshi looked at Honghui helplessly, and Honghui smiled helplessly, "Take it! After today, I will take you to thank Hongxi."

Hongshi obediently collected the prey and followed Honghui to meet at Kangxi's place.

When he saw that Hongshi had found his prey, the man's evil intentions were exposed. He was not targeting Hongshi at all, but Honghui.

"Honghui, why do you have less prey today? Could it be...", Hongsheng (the third son of the third prince and also the crown prince, his first two sons had died young) glanced at the prey behind Hongshi's horse with deep meaning.

If Hongshi didn't catch any prey, it would mean that he was not capable enough, but if Honghui helped, that would be cheating! But it was impossible for Honghui not to help. If he didn't catch any prey, it would anger Kangxi. What future would Hongshi have in his life?

This dispute attracted the attention of Kangxi, and Hongqing became even more aggressive when he saw it.

At the critical moment, Hongxi spoke up, "If it is true as Hongqing said, how could Honghui hunt so many prey? After sharing with Hongshi, the remaining can be equal to that of my master. Hongqing, who are you insulting?"

Hong Qing looked at Hong Xi who looked unhappy and didn't dare to say anything.

Kangxi knew there was something fishy going on. His sons were all worried and his grandsons were starting to quarrel. Kangxi was so tired that he called Hongshi, who was at the center of the vortex, to come forward and answer, "Hongshi, can you tell me what you hunted for me?"

Hongshi could not expose Honghui and Hongxi, so he could only nervously present a live rabbit, which Hongshi caught on their way back. "My grandson is incompetent. I can only present a live rabbit to the Emperor."

Touching the rabbit's soft fur, looking at the nervous and guilty Hongshi, and the complacent Hongsheng, he already knew the cause of the matter, "Hongshi, do you have anything else to say?"

This was Kangxi allowing Hongshi to file a complaint. Hongshi didn't know whether he understood it or not, he just smiled innocently and said, "If Your Majesty likes it, your grandson will definitely hunt more living creatures for you in the future." This meant that he would not pursue the matter.

Kangxi heard Hongshi's irrelevant answer, and saw the nervous Honghui and Hongxi pretending to be indifferent. Kangxi just touched Hongshi's head and said, "Hongshi has a pure heart, which is good. Honghui and Hongxi know how to love their brothers, which is also good."

Although he was old and wise, Kangxi was not so foolish as to underestimate Honghui and Hongxi's hunting skills.
