Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After coaxing Nian Shilan, the Fourth Prince came to Xili Courtyard with a worried look on his face, and said to Yixiu meaningfully, "Shilan is pregnant, and I am very happy, but Shilan is already a concubine, and I really don't know how to reward her."

Yixiu raised her eyebrows. What does this mean? Want to instigate me to harm Nian Shilan? The Fourth Prince is really overthinking. No matter how many children Nian Shilan gives birth to, it will not affect Honghui, let alone Yixiu. Besides, after Butterfly dropped four eggs, Prince Yong's mansion had no children for many years, and Yixiu was under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, Yixiu said with a smile on her face, "Not only the prince, but I am also very happy. Sister Nian can add a child to the family. Such a contribution is not excessive in any way. Sister Nian is young and it is her first pregnancy. Why not, the prince, let sister's family come to accompany her earlier, so that sister Nian will not be so busy."

Now that we have brought the old lady into the mansion, wouldn't it be more difficult to murder Nian Shilan's baby? The Fourth Prince hadn't made up his mind yet, but he didn't want to cause any trouble. "Shilan's baby is only two months old. It's really too early. It's not good to make such a big fuss. Let's wait until the fetus is stable before we do it."

Yixiu had a worried look on her face, "Then I don't know how to reward Sister Nian."

Seeing Yixiu's sincere concern for Nian Shilan, the Fourth Prince felt as if a needle was pricking him in his seat. He coughed twice and said, "There's no need to publicize Shilan's pregnancy, so as not to reduce her fortune. Let's save the reward until after the birth."

You are the boss and you have the final say. Yixiu nodded and said, "Then I will give the orders. All things should be provided to Lanyun Villa first. Don't let a meritorious minister like Sister Nian feel unhappy about these trivial matters." Although, with Nian Shilan's personality, she would never let herself be wronged, but Yixiu had to show her attitude.

The meritorious minister that Yixiu was talking about was Nian Shilan, but the Fourth Prince thought it was Nian Gengyao. He shook the beads in his hand in annoyance and said, "There are many affairs of the court today, so I will not keep you here." The Fourth Prince did not get the result he wanted, and he was not in the mood to stay in Xiliyuan.

Yixiu had long been fed up with Lao Deng's dark mentality, and she sent the Fourth Prince away respectfully. If she had not been afraid that the Fourth Prince would know, she would have wanted to follow Miaoyu's example and throw away all the teacups used by the Fourth Prince to avoid dirtying her own place with her dirty heart.

Jianqiu was serving nearby just now, and she always felt that the Fourth Prince's tone was strange, not as if he was happy. She said hesitantly, "From what the prince said just now, I think he has the intention of sowing discord between the Lady and Concubine Nian." Although Jianqiu had no good feelings towards Nian Shilan, she did not want Yixiu to get into trouble with the Nian family for no reason.

Yixiu snorted coldly, "You're right." The Fourth Prince wanted Yixiu to feel a sense of crisis. After all, there was only a concubine above the concubine. He thought that Yixiu was promoted because she gave birth to a son, and she pushed others to do so. Yixiu must be afraid that Nian Shilan would give birth to a child.

In response to this, Yixiu said that the Fourth Prince was really dreaming. No matter how glorious the Nian family was, they could not change their origin of the Han Army Banner. If Nian Shilan was really made his legitimate wife, the one who would be anxious would be the Fourth Prince himself!

Regardless of their origins, having a child was just an excuse. The Fourth Prince knew why he made Yixiu his wife. Jiang Chen was more valuable now than he was in the past. Even if the Fourth Prince was crazy, he would not do such a stupid thing.

This is also the reason why the Fourth Prince could only hint to Yixiu but dared not say it directly. He did not want to offend Nian Gengyao who was behind Nian Shilan, but he did not want to offend Jiang Chen who was behind Yixiu even more.

The Fourth Prince, who was rejected by Yixiu, watched anxiously as Nian Shilan's belly grew bigger day by day. He had to pretend to care about her and coax her every day. His life was really miserable.

When Nian Shilan's belly was four months pregnant, Concubine De in the palace could no longer sit still.

"What did Yinzhen think about Nian's pregnancy?" Defei asked the Fourth Prince when she paid her respects.

The Fourth Prince was still a little hesitant. Nian Shilan was just a simple woman who loved him, and she was pregnant with his own blood. He said with embarrassment, "Shilan's belly is my own flesh and blood. I really can't bear it."

Defei frowned, "Do you still remember how arrogant and domineering Nian Gengyao was? He would send some personal gifts to Nian from time to time, but he never gave you a single New Year gift, not even a birthday gift for me or a wedding gift for Honghui.

Moreover, Nian Gengyao not only flirted with the Eighth Prince, but also showed goodwill to Prince Cheng. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince and the deposed prince had already fallen on hard times when he entered the government, he would have spared even these two! Do you still remember that the Nian family is your subordinate?"

The Fourth Prince, whose pain point was touched, had a gloomy expression on his face. "Son knows, but Nian Gengyao has already been reprimanded by me. I believe he has reformed himself."

Even a ghost would not believe this. But Concubine De had already upset the Fourth Prince, so she refrained from saying anything hurtful. "Nian Gengyao holds military power. If Nian gave birth to a little prince, I'm afraid he would have bad intentions in the future."

The war in the northwest had just begun, and it was unknown how long it would last. Nian Gengyao was indispensable in everything. If Nian Shilan gave birth to a boy, given Nian Gengyao's temper, if the Fourth Prince made him unhappy, he would dare to lead his troops into the capital to purge the court and enthrone Nian Shilan's child as emperor.

This is not De Fei exaggerating, but the young ruler is in danger. The previous emperor ascended the throne at the age of six, and the emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight. From the regent Dorgon to the powerful minister Oboi, which one is a soft persimmon? If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's strong hand, how could there be a Qing Dynasty? Why did Kangxi establish a prince? It's all because of these things. An emperor who has been trained since childhood is better than an emperor who ascends the throne ignorantly!

Ask yourself, how many extraordinary women like Xiaozhuang are there in the world? In any case, Concubine De could not protect the young emperor from growing up among a group of jackals and tigers.

The Fourth Prince knew more about it than Concubine De. After all, it was his father and Mafa's affair. It was because he knew more clearly that he was more afraid. Kangxi finally stopped the trend of younger heirs. If the Fourth Prince were to return to the pre-liberation era, even death would not be enough to atone for his sin. The Fourth Prince also knew what the consequences of the Eastern Han Kindergarten were.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince was wavering, Concubine De lamented, "The child in Nian's belly is yours, so it is also my grandson. If there is a way, you and I would not do such a thing. But it is not up to us, what can we do?"

The Fourth Prince struggled for a long time and said, "Wait a little longer. If Shilan's belly is a girl, there is no need to do anything." It is impossible for Nian Gengyao to support a princess as emperor.

Seeing that this was the biggest step backward the Fourth Prince had taken, Concubine De stopped talking.
