Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Nian Shilan didn't trust Qi Yuebin's character, but she absolutely trusted her vision. "Is it really as good as you say?"

Qi Yuebin smiled back, "It's no secret that the prince likes talented women, but if you count them carefully, how many of them in the backyard can do that?"

Li Jingyan is just a pretty girl; Nian Shilan came to the mansion as a last-minute help for the sake of the Fourth Prince, so only she knows her level; Qi Yuebin can be considered well-read after so many years of study, but there is still a gap between her and a talented woman.

The rest of the people gathered together. Should they rely on the reclusive Song Qiyun, or the one raising a child, Lu Yingfeng?

Nian Shilan thought about it and realized that if Feng Ruozhao was really as Qi Yuebin said, he was indeed a strong opponent, but he had made progress after all. "Then the one who should be most anxious should be Qi Shufujin."

But Nian Shilan's weakness was too easy to catch, and Qi Yuebin just said, "When Feng Gege is favored, I hope Concubine Nian can still be so open-minded."

Nian Shilan's possessiveness over the Fourth Prince was such that she would not allow any woman to get close to him without her.

As Qi Yuebin expected, Nian Shilan compromised, "So what do you want?"

Nian Shilan doesn't believe that Qi Yuebin has no desires or demands.

Qi Yuebin just replied bitterly, "Do we need a reason to suppress others? Favor, power, and offspring, why is it not worthy for me to cooperate with Concubine Nian?"

Nian Shilan had never experienced such a long time. For her, if the Fourth Prince didn't come for more than ten days, it was like the sky falling. "If you like someone, you should fight for it. If you just complain about yourself, you will not get what you want."

Qi Yuebin looked at the confident Nian Shilan and didn't want to give her any advice. Once Nian Shilan learned to appreciate the loneliness of the long night, she would know that some things could not be changed by fighting for them.

Nian Shilan didn't want to recall her past with Qi Yuebin, and urged impatiently, "Tell me what your plans are?"

Qi Yuebin replied, "It's almost time to escape the summer heat, why not take this opportunity to teach Feng Gege a lesson!"

Nian Shilan raised an eyebrow, understanding what Qi Yuebin meant, "They say our Concubine Qi is the kindest person. We should really ask them to come and see what you look like now."

Qi Yuebin calmly replied, "How can there be any kind-hearted person who can make a name for himself in this backyard?" Those who were truly kind would have been eaten until not even a bone was left.

With a preliminary plan in mind, Nian Shilan shook her handkerchief and left first. Who would want to stay outside any longer in such hot weather?

After that, except for the three days when Fei Yunyan first slept with him, whenever the Fourth Prince entered the backyard, Nian Shilan would stop him and never let anyone see the Fourth Prince. Naturally, no one thought of Feng Ruozhao, who had not yet slept with him.

After more than ten days, it was time to finalize the list of people going to the garden. Feng Ruozhao hadn't even seen the Fourth Prince, let alone made the Fourth Prince remember to bring him to the garden.

It doesn’t matter, the virtuous Yi Xiu would remind, “Master, who are you going to take with you this year?”

The Fourth Prince had completely forgotten about Feng Ruozhao, so he naturally replied, "Just follow last year's list and add Fei to it."

Yi Xiu hesitated and said, "Isn't Sister Feng too pitiful?"

The Fourth Prince frowned, "Feng?"

After thinking for a while, the Fourth Prince remembered the forgotten Feng Ruozhao. These days, the Fourth Prince had been dealing with the infatuated Nian Shilan, so he had no idea that there was such a person.

Yixiu added fuel to the fire, "It's also my fault for not reminding the prince about Sister Feng."

The Fourth Prince rubbed his head, realizing that this was intentional by Nian Shilan, but the Nian family said, "Since she hasn't served the emperor yet, it's really not appropriate for her to leave the house. We won't take Feng with us this time."

Feng Ruozhao is not one of them, so Yixiu has done her utmost to remind him. Yixiu rubbed the acupuncture points for the Fourth Prince with concern, "Your Highness, are you unable to bear the heat again? I will ask the servants to pack up quickly, and we will go to escape the heat earlier this year."

The Fourth Prince patted Yixiu's hand, enjoying her gentle massage, and said with emotion, "Xiaoyi is still the one that suits my heart best."

Yixiu joked, "You can't let Sister Nian hear this, otherwise she'll be so jealous that everyone in the mansion will be jealous."

The Fourth Prince was also helpless about Nian Shilan's temper, but Nian Shilan was the most sensible in front of the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince couldn't bear to blame her. With the support of the Nian family, the Fourth Prince could only say helplessly, "Shilan is young and hot-tempered, so Xiaoyi should be more tolerant of her grievances."

Nian Shilan had Nian Gengyao, and Yixiu had Jiang Chen, so Nian Shilan didn't dare to be disrespectful to Yixiu. The truly pitiful ones were the other concubines in the backyard, but the Fourth Prince didn't care, so what could Yixiu say?

"Sister Nian just cares too much about the prince, and she doesn't have any bad intentions (it's strange)."

Yixiu's tactful answer comforted the Fourth Prince, "It is truly a blessing from heaven that I have a virtuous wife like Xiaoyi."

Feng Ruozhao couldn't laugh at all when she got the news. She knew that Nian Shilan was deliberately targeting her, but she still held out a glimmer of hope. However, the result was so disappointing.

Hanzhu's eyes were filled with tears. "Master, what should we do?"

It’s not necessary to go to the garden to escape the summer heat, but this is a manifestation of the Fourth Prince’s concern. Feng Ruozhao is not on the list. Doesn’t this clearly tell everyone that the Fourth Prince doesn’t care about Feng Ruozhao?

If it weren't for Yixiu's rectification in recent years, the servants would not dare to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Now Feng Ruozhao would probably not even be able to eat a hot meal.

Feng Ruozhao was a little upset. He originally thought that the predicament was only temporary, but he didn't expect that he had somehow attracted Nian Shilan's attention and was targeted to this extent.

"Hanzhu, are you sure we have no connection with Concubine Nian?"

Hanzhu assured him, "Master, you told me not to walk around before I sleep with you. I told everyone one by one that they were not allowed to walk around. Later, I checked and found that he had no contact with Concubine Nian."

"Going to the kitchen to get food?" Feng Ruozhao made a guess.

"The concubine has her own small kitchen, and she is the first to serve the dishes when using the public kitchen, so her schedule is different from ours."

Nian Shilan was domineering and had money to pave the way for her, so the kitchen always met her requests immediately. Princesses like Feng Ruozhao, who had never served in the emperor's bedchamber and had no money to spend, were naturally the last to be met.

At this point, Hanzhu was indignant, "Obviously the kitchen asked for a lot of money, but when it came to cooking, they kept procrastinating. When I urged them, they became sarcastic."

Although Yixiu has rectified the situation and prohibited deductions, who gets paid first and who gets paid later does not depend on whether the money given is sufficient. This is beyond Yixiu's control.

Feng Ruozhao was also worried after hearing this. No matter how much money his family gave him, he couldn't spend it in this way. He still had to find the reason why Nian Shilan was targeting him in order to resolve this crisis.
