Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Nian Shilan asked uncertainly, “Is Feng really just filling in the blanks?”

Qi Yuebin said meaningfully, "That depends on whether Feng Gege has self-awareness."

Nian Shilan smiled dangerously, "If he is really stupid, he can help me to relieve my boredom and save me from being bored all day long."

Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin are in cahoots with each other, and Yixiu is preparing to prevent the birth of the fourth treasure of Prince Yong's Mansion.

I can only be thankful that Yixiu was very angry about Li Jingui giving birth to Hongli. After all, this was a fish that slipped through the net of the abortion captain, so she also remembered the day when the fourth prince was plotted against very clearly. Now she doesn't have to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the fourth prince every day.

That day was the Dragon Boat Festival, and princes and ministers gathered in Changchun Garden to hold a ceremony with Kangxi to remove bad luck and strengthen their bodies.

The items needed for the various ceremonies on the Dragon Boat Festival take a long time to prepare. Fortunately, the palace has no shortage of palace servants who can do the work. Yixiu only needs to open her mouth and the items she likes will be presented to her.

When you get up early in the morning, you need to take a 'mixed bath' of orchid, mugwort, peach leaves and calamus, which is called 'orchid bath', in order to drive away evil spirits and maintain health.

After bathing, Yixiu, with a bitter smell of medicine on her body, washed her face with mugwort soaked water in the hope of warding off disasters.

Finally, Yixiu put on her formal wedding dress. Today was the day for her to celebrate with Kangxi, and she could not be disrespectful in the slightest.

Nowadays, the most popular shoes among the people are made of calamus. In the capital, no matter rich or poor, everyone has to wear calamus shoes.

However, even if the shoes were made of cattail grass, the nobles were not used to wearing them. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had already prepared suitable shoes, which were woven with dyed cattail grass on the outside and wrapped with silk on the inside, making them exquisite and comfortable.

At least Yixiu didn't feel uncomfortable at all when she walked around in the cattail flower pot.

While busying herself, Yixiu also had to take care of the affairs of the mansion. "Jianqiu, have all the places that need to be decorated been tidied up? Have the Pu swords hanging at the door, the Pu people given to the masters, the Aihu, the 'Five Poisons' sachets and the 'Dingzi Medicine' that they wear been delivered?

Especially the 'pills', the ones used by masters are different from those used by servants, and there are also those prepared as rewards, so they all need to be prepared."

The "Five Poisons" refer to scorpions, toads, snakes, spiders, and lizards. Ancient people believed that these five creatures were extremely poisonous. In the evil month of May, the patterns of the Five Poisons are embroidered on sachets, which are filled with wormwood leaves, realgar and other evil-repelling items, in the hope of fighting poison with poison and spending the Dragon Boat Festival safely.

Girls often pick mugwort leaves the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, sew sachets into them and wear them on their chests or braids, and throw them away in the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival in the hope of driving away evil spirits.

This "ingot medicine" is mostly made of anti-heat herbs. It is made in large quantities before the Dragon Boat Festival and given to palace ladies to wear. It is also often given to officials. On weekdays, it is decorated with five poisons, Zhong Kui, etc. for wearing, and can also be used as medicine when necessary.

"Speaking of Ai Hu, have the children put on their tiger-patterned jackets, tiger-patterned shoes, and tiger-head hats? If they have, remember to remind them to ask the prince to write the word 'Wang' on their foreheads with realgar wine." Yi Xiu reminded them without any hesitation.

The children also had to attend the banquet, and in order to entertain their parents with colorful clothes, they naturally had to follow the traditional way. The word "王" was written by the fourth prince, which not only had meaning, but also ensured that the children would not make mistakes. After all, not everyone could use the word "王".

Jianqiu had already checked these when Yixiu was at Yulan. "I just checked them up and down, and everything is fine. The things given to the masters were divided yesterday. We checked them three times to ensure that there are no mistakes.

After Prince Honghui finished his work, he went to look for Prince Hongshi and the Second Princess. They are probably at the Prince's place now."

Yixiu nodded with satisfaction, "Then go ask Concubine Li and Concubine Nian to make sure everything is ready. Don't keep the prince waiting."

Jianqiu was prepared. "I sent someone to ask a moment ago. They should be back by now."

As expected, it was exactly as Jianqiu had expected. The two maids who ran errands came back and said that Concubine Nian and Concubine Li had already walked towards Xili Courtyard and would arrive there soon.

Yixiu was also ready, and just stood up to greet Li Jingyan and Nian Shilan. The three of them met up and went to the front yard to find the Fourth Prince and the three children.

The Fourth Prince said to Yixiu with a smile on his face, "Honghui really has the demeanor of a brother. There is nothing wrong with taking care of Hongshi and Miaohan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Jingyan and Nian Shilan both clenched the handkerchiefs in their hands.

Li Jingyan was angry that Honghui stole Hongshi's limelight, while Nian Shilan was jealous. Her own child was still unmarried, while Yixiu's child was already able to stand on his own, so what was the point of fighting?

The children behaved well today, and the Fourth Prince was generous in his praise. "Hongshi also helped take care of Miaohan, which was also very good; Shilan's outfit today is very beautiful."

Li Jingyan looked at Hongshi with pride, while Nian Shilan glanced at the Fourth Prince shyly. What a master of keeping things balanced!

Yixiu was not interested in watching the girl flirting with the uncle, so she turned her head to look at Honghui.

Honghui now has tiger stripes painted on his face, which is completely different from his usual image. In order to ease his younger siblings' nervousness, he pulled Hongshi to listen to Miaohan's vivid description of his new clothes.

"Big brother, third brother, my new clothes today were embroidered by my mother herself. Look, this centipede looks so lifelike!"

Miaohan suddenly revealed the centipede embroidery, which scared Hongshi.

Hongshi said embarrassedly, "Mrs. Lu's embroidery is really good. This centipede scared me!"

Miao Han originally thought that she had gotten into trouble. After all, Li Jingyan's eyes were full of anger. Seeing that Hongshi had no intention of making a fuss, she tentatively pulled Hongshi's hand and said, "Third brother, this outfit was also made by Li's mother, right? It makes Third brother look so heroic!"

Hongshi smiled foolishly and nodded, and Li Jingyan stopped glaring at Miaohan. The little girl still had good taste.

Miao Han did not ignore Hong Hui either, "Big brother, come here, I will hold your hand with my left hand, and Third Brother with my right hand."

Honghui reached out his hand with amusement and held Miaohan's left hand.

Nian Shilan was originally flirting with the Fourth Prince, and could not help but be attracted by Miao Han. The Fourth Prince followed Nian Shilan's gaze and looked over. "Miao Han is quite clever and has a head full of strange ideas. It's hard for Honghui and Hongshi to play with her."

"What's that? When I was young, I was much more naughty than the Second Princess. My eldest brother always avoided me, but my second brother doted on me the most and would take me out to play no matter what." Nian Shilan recalled her childhood.

The Fourth Prince said jokingly, "You can see that. After all, Shilan is not someone who can sit still."

"Your Highness~" Nian Shilan said tenderly.

Li Jingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing this. She was always complaining about everything, but in front of the prince, she was just a little white rabbit.
