Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 251 Charity Auction

Nie Qian'er just said calmly, "It's just fate."

The Fifth Princess knew that Nie Qian'er didn't want pity, so she could only ask tentatively, "Do you still remember things at home?" As long as there was any clue, the Fifth Princess would find a way to find it.

But Nie Qian'er was not Jiang Mufang, and she did not think her relatives were like Jiang's father. After all, Jiang Mufang was also the biological mother of Prince Yong's wife, and she was just a prostitute. She herself thought she was dirty, so how could she expect others to see her positively?

Moreover, Nie Qianer couldn't let go of the girls in the brothel. Her madam at that time was black-hearted and split the profits with the girls 90:1. Later, the courtesan was replaced and, under Nie Qianer's deception, the profit was increased to 30:70. It was not until Nie Qianer became the madam that the profit was split 50:50. If Nie Qianer left, the next successor would not know how to exploit them.

In the end, Nie Qian'er declined the Fifth Princess's kindness, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I really can't remember anything."

The Fifth Princess was conflicted, but she still respected Nie Qianer's wishes, pulled off the jade pendant from her waist, and promised Nie Qianer, "Take this jade pendant with you, and if you have any difficulties, just come to the Princess's Mansion to find me."

Nie Qian'er pushed the jade pendant away with trembling hands. The patrons who often came to the brothel had never protected them. Nie Qian'er was already satisfied that the Fifth Princess had such a heart, so she didn't dare to implicate the Fifth Princess.

The Fifth Princess held Nie Qianer's hand firmly and said, "Keep it. I'm not afraid." After all, she was just a princess. So what if she was ridiculous?

Nie Qian'er finally couldn't hold back her tears. She kowtowed to the Fifth Princess with tearful eyes, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."

After sending Nie Qian'er away, the Fifth Princess said to Feiyan with a look of disappointment, "Why are women in this world so miserable?"

Feiyan comforted the Fifth Princess, “Princess, you have done enough over the years.

Liu, the cook in the kitchen, gave birth to three daughters in a row. She and her daughters were almost sold to a brothel. It was the princess who presided over the divorce and saved Liu. And this year, even though the mansion was not short of people, the princess still bought dozens of little girls under ten years old to live in the mansion.

What kind of work could a little girl under ten years old do? It was because the Fifth Princess was kind that she took her in and gave her food to the Princess' Mansion.

As an individual, the Fifth Princess did what she could, but compared to the woman struggling in misery, the help she provided was just a drop in the ocean.

The Fifth Princess sighed and talked about another matter, "Go to Prince Yong's mansion and ask when Fourth Sister-in-law is free. I want to visit her again."

Inspired by Nie Qianer, the Fifth Princess had an idea about how to raise funds and wanted to discuss it with Yixiu.

Of course Yixiu welcomed the arrival of the Fifth Princess. When she heard that the Fifth Princess had an idea, Yixiu was very curious and urged the Fifth Princess to come over.

The fifth princess said apprehensively, "I was inspired by someone these days and came up with an idea. It's not that easy to get people to take out real money. I thought, why not give them some sweet treats. People all over the world are very curious about the royal family, why not I take out a few royal items, such as porcelain and jewelry, and let people bid on them, and the highest bidder wins."

Surely, there will be people who are interested and willing to spend money to buy it and have a look. The fifth princess has heard that the richer the merchants are, the more they pursue higher-class things. If there is such a chance to own royal items, there will always be people with a lot of money willing to take the bait.

Yixiu was amazed, isn't this a charity auction? Even a modern person like me didn't think of it, but I didn't expect that the fifth princess would figure it out.

Seeing Yixiu didn't say anything, the Fifth Princess asked anxiously, "Fourth Sister-in-law, do you think my idea won't work?"

Yixiu praised repeatedly, "It works. If such a wonderful method doesn't work, then it's better not to do it."

Then, Yixiu recalled the modern auction model and added to the Fifth Princess, "However, if you are the only one offering something, it won't be a big enough gimmick, and there will be no sense of royal participation.

It would be best if we could unite the wives in the palace and the sisters-in-law, and each of us could come up with something. If possible, it would be best if the Emperor could also participate. There is no need for anything else. If he has a piece of calligraphy, not to mention others, maybe even your fourth brother would want it! "This way, we can also mobilize the interest of the upper class dignitaries.

The Fifth Princess' eyes sparkled, and she was quite inspired by Yixiu. "Fourth Sister-in-law's words are wonderful. If we can persuade the Emperor to paint a picture of 'A Family Doing Good Deeds', who wouldn't want it?"

With Yixiu's help, the Fifth Princess went to see Concubine De with full confidence.

After hearing the Fifth Princess' idea, Concubine De also praised, "What a great idea! Did you really come up with this, Yalichi?"

The fifth princess said unconvincedly, "Why can't it be my idea?"

Concubine De hugged the Fifth Princess and coaxed her, "I was wrong. Yaliqi is so smart, of course he can come up with such a good idea."

The fifth princess took the opportunity to say, "Then mother, please help me think about how to convince the concubines in the harem to get involved." The fifth princess did not have close contact with the concubines in the harem, and had no idea how to communicate.

Defei requested, "The harem and the court only need to pay attention to one person, and that is your royal father. Now that your royal father agrees to take out his calligraphy, everyone will flock to him." The emperor is supreme, and who wouldn't want to leave a good impression on Kangxi?

The fifth princess was a little hesitant, "It's just a verbal plan now, will it work?" The fifth princess originally thought that she had to talk to everyone to get the plan together before she could bother Kangxi for approval.

De Fei encouraged, "The emperor is very observant. As long as you tell him, he will know whether this matter can be done or not."

The fifth princess came to the Qianqing Palace hesitantly, explained her thoughts to Kangxi, and then lowered her head to wait for Kangxi's judgment.

Kangxi's reaction was the same as Defei's. He did not expect his daughter to have such talent. But when he thought about the third and fourth princesses galloping on the grassland, it was not surprising. His daughters were supposed to be so outstanding.

"Yalichi, please submit a memorial on this matter." Kangxi was prepared to use this matter as an example.

The Fifth Princess was a little uneasy at first, and felt at a loss after hearing what Kangxi said. Did she need to write a memorial about this matter?

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "Caring for the people is the royal duty. As a royal princess, you should set an example."

Concubines in the harem could not move around freely, and all the previous princesses were married to the grasslands. So until the fifth princess came to the fore, Kangxi remembered that some things that could not be intervened forcefully could be accomplished by the ladies of the inner and outer courts, and now, the fifth princess was the best bridge.

Of course, this was also Kangxi's assessment. If the Fifth Princess performed well, many things would be possible. However, the Fifth Princess did not know Kangxi's thoughts and walked out of the Qianqing Palace as if in a dream.
