Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The prince's inquiry was no secret in the palace, but he seldom inquired about it due to etiquette. This matter could not be hidden from the prince's wet nurse and her husband, Ling Pu, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A few days later, the wet nurse followed He Yuzhu into the prince's study.

"Your servant pays her respects to the Crown Prince. May the Crown Prince live a thousand years!" The wet nurse paid her respects to the Crown Prince.

The prince's mother died young due to complications during childbirth. Apart from Kangxi, the only person who had always been by his side was the wet nurse. Needless to say, the feelings between them were naturally strong. He quickly walked over from behind the desk and helped the wet nurse up.

"Mammy, why should we be like this between you and me?" The prince felt sorry for his wet nurse and even privately did not allow her to salute him.

"You are the crown prince. If I rely on my relationship with you, others will naturally want to follow my standards, and it will be hard to explain at that time." The wet nurse grew up with the crown prince in this deep palace. In her eyes, nothing is more important than the crown prince, not even her husband and children!

"You are here today?" The prince was puzzled, because he was reluctant to let the wet nurse run back and forth, so except for important matters, he basically let the wet nurse take care of him.

"I heard from Ling Pu that you asked He Yuzhu to inquire about Shu Fei's affairs these days. I was really worried, so I came to see you on my own initiative." The wet nurse was afraid that the prince's snooping into the harem would cause Kangxi's dissatisfaction.

"This servant can't even handle such a small matter, why did he even alarm Ling Pu!" The prince looked at He Yuzhu with dissatisfaction.

He Yuzhu quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I am a servant who has failed to do my job well. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Nanny advised: "You still don't trust He Yuzhu's work? But Ling Pu and I are always worried about you, so we also pay attention to the movements of Yuqing Palace."

Seeing the wet nurse begging for mercy, the prince took advantage of the situation to back off. After all, he had a deep affection for He Yuzhu, who had served him since childhood. "This time, it was the wet nurse who begged for mercy for you. If there is a next time, you don't have to serve me!"

He Yuzhu thanked him cleverly: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, Madam Li!" Madam Li is a Sinicized surname. Madam Li's original surname was Fucha, but when the Manchus entered the pass, they made the Manchus take Chinese surnames in order to rule, so all the members of the Fucha family took the character "Li".

After this recitation, singing, composing and fighting, we got to the point.

Nanny Li knew that the prince wanted to know about Concubine Shu, so she organized her words. She said, "Concubine Shu followed the path of Chen Bingzhi, the governor of Zhejiang Province, but everyone knows that it was just a cover. Her real name is Ruan, and she was captured when the southern seas recovered the land a few years ago.

The Zheng family also had conflicts with neighboring Annan. In Annan, there was an ambitious Nguyen family. In order to weaken their power, the current King of Annan sent a large number of Nguyen descendants to the front line to fight the Zheng family. It is possible that Shu Fei's ancestors surrendered to the Zheng family in this way. By mistake, they were incorporated into our Qing Dynasty. I don't know how they caught the eye of Chen Bingzhi, who wanted to make a good use of them! "

As she spoke, Nanny Li had a look of disdain on her face. She harbored ill will towards all the concubines in the harem who were used to seize the prince's things and the forces behind them.

The prince listened to what Li Mama said, stroked the teacup gently with his hand, thought for a while and said, "If Mama knows it so clearly, how could the emperor not know it? If so, this Shu Fei is nothing to be afraid of."

Madam Li answered carefully, "Although that person rose to prominence suddenly, His Majesty is a wise ruler in a prosperous era. His special favor made the ladies in the harem feel uneasy. But it's different for you, the Crown Prince. You were raised by His Majesty himself, and the father and son are in harmony. His Majesty will not let anyone surpass you."

The prince said proudly: "Yes! This ignorant person always makes a fuss. He just stretched his hand in front of me, how can he get away with it!"

"You don't need to interfere in this woman's affairs. I will handle it!" Nanny Li didn't want the prince to be involved in too many evil practices, so she took charge of the matter.

The prince put the matter behind him and no longer paid attention to those who wanted to stir up trouble. He also cleaned up a wave of troublemakers in Yuqing Palace.

The four concubines waited for the prince to make a move, but after waiting for a long time, they only received the news that their spy had been abolished. They were so angry that they tore their handkerchiefs and smashed porcelain bottles.

Defei was also angry, but she could not get into Yuqing Palace in the first place, and the losses were not too great. Moreover, she kept a cool head and felt that the prince was not a big-hearted person. If she plotted against him, she had to be prepared to be counter-plotted. Now there was no news from Yuqing Palace, which was the worst news!

But she couldn't move. If there was a loss, there would be a loss. If she moved now, she would only expose more cards to others. Defei thought clearly and no longer participated in any actions against Shufei. She also specially prepared an apology gift for Shufei. Regardless of whether Shufei knew it or not, she threw the gift directly into the warehouse to collect dust after receiving it. Shufei would not underestimate the jealousy of the women in the harem.

After more than ten days of peace and quiet, Kangxi finally took his army to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat. Shu Fei, who was in favor, was naturally the first concubine to receive the news. The servants in her palace happily began to pack up their things. This was a blessing for the servants because they had the right master!

However, this joy was broken when Shu Fei's personal maid Jiyun was putting away the zither that Shu Fei often played. Jiyun was carefully putting the zither into the box, but when she lifted it, she found that there was some powder left where it was originally placed. Jiyun was about to scold the maid who was usually in charge of cleaning, why didn't she even clean up the ashes from the incense burned when the master played the zither!

But Shu Fei, who was watching the housekeeper packing up her things with a smile, stopped Ji Yun from causing trouble and told her to call the imperial physician she often used. As soon as the order to call the imperial physician came out, Ji Yun felt something was wrong and hurried to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician Hu who often checked Shu Fei's pulse.

Shu Fei's residence was the focus of the six palaces, and Ji Yun was in a hurry because of panic and did not hide his whereabouts. Within an incense stick of time, everyone knew that Shu Fei's palace had invited the imperial physician.

Zhu Xi also told the news to Concubine De, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong over there?"

Concubine De was relieved. The prince had finally caught the fish, but she didn't know which big fish he would catch. She told Zhuxi, "Let everyone in our palace be more cautious. You take someone to check again. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation. We should just pretend we don't know."

The Yongshou Palace chose to stay indoors, while others wanted to find out what had happened. Kangxi, who had just finished reviewing the memorials, also heard the news. He was worried about Shufei. After all, it was rare to find a woman who was so ideal to him, so he prepared a sedan chair and went to visit Shufei.

In Shu Fei's palace, Doctor Hu, who was dragged here by Ji Yun, was sweating profusely. How could he be so unlucky to encounter such a thing? Doctor Hu could smell the powder on the table with his eyes closed. It was Linglingxiang, a contraceptive.

Seeing that Doctor Hu looked embarrassed, Concubine Shu comforted him by saying, "I am the only one favored by the emperor in this palace. Since the emperor has appointed you to diagnose my pulse, he must have made arrangements for all these. Don't you agree?"

Doctor Hu thought about it and realized that he would offend one side eventually, but as long as he was protected by Concubine Shu, he was not afraid of retaliation. After all, Concubine Shu had the favor of His Majesty! Anyway, even if he did not take sides, he would be labeled as a member of Concubine Shu's faction, so he might as well give it a try.

So Doctor Hu spoke up: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. I determine that this incense powder is lindera, which is often used by women for...contraception." At this point, Doctor Hu banged his head on the ground and dared not say any more.
