Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince looked a little unhappy. No matter how much he doted on Nian Shilan, he would never break the rules for her. In the past, when Nian Shilan arrived late, the Fourth Prince thought it was a little fun and would cover for her.

Yixiu continued without giving him face, "Then I will ask the prince again, but did the prince move the time of paying respects to him back by a quarter of an hour? If that is the case, why didn't he inform me and the other sisters, but only told Concubine Nian?"

The Fourth Prince pursed his lips and said nothing. He had a bad feeling.

Yixiu continued to ask questions without being servile or arrogant, "If it's neither of them, then may I ask if I am not respectful to my father and mother? Or am I not kind to my sisters? Is the prince going to make the concubine the first wife?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except the Fourth Prince and Nian Shilan bowed and apologized, "Madam, please calm down."

Yixiu looked at the Fourth Prince with sharp eyes. You are considering Nian Gengyao, so you indulge Nian Shilan. Have you forgotten that I, Yixiu, am not without a backer, and I am not a pushover either?

At this moment, a young eunuch's voice came from outside the door, "I am here to tell you the good news!"

Su Peisheng frowned, wanting to signal Xiao Xiazi to keep the young eunuch who brought the good news under control, and wait until the matter inside was over.

Unexpectedly, Yixiu said, "Let him in so I can hear what the happy event is."

The Fourth Prince did not move, so Su Peisheng could only let the young eunuch in as Yixiu had said.

After the young eunuch came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not good. He came at the wrong time. Why were there so many people kneeling on the ground?

But what needs to be said must be said, the little eunuch said with a smile on his face.

"I am here to congratulate you, Madam Jiang. You were ordered to deliver the baggage, but the Tibetan rebels were determined to intercept you. Madam Jiang led his troops to fight bravely, not only saving the baggage, but also annihilating more than a thousand rebels. The emperor was very happy to hear this, and the fifth princess sent me to congratulate you!"

After hearing this, Yixiu finally smiled, "Thank you for coming all the way here, young eunuch, Jianqiu."

Jianqiu stepped forward and gave the young eunuch a big red envelope, "Please share in the good fortune, eunuch."

After being interrupted by the little eunuch, the fourth prince also found a way out, "Wang Xuan is not only proficient in government affairs, but I didn't expect that Wang Xuan is also very talented in leading troops in battle."

You have to know that in addition to the guards, those responsible for transporting the supplies also included civilians pushing the carts. It was indeed not easy to rely on such a team to repel the well-prepared Junggar elite troops.

When Yixiu heard the Fourth Prince talking, she stopped smiling.

The Fourth Prince knew that Yixiu was extremely angry.

The same thing happened to Shilan. He was just heartbroken for her loss of a son, and after pampering her for a while, he actually lost his sense of propriety. The Fourth Prince had originally wanted Yixiu to hand over some of the housekeeping power to Nian Shilan, so that Nian Shilan wouldn't cling to him every day. The Fourth Prince would also be tired of eating the same dish every day.

The Fourth Prince also glared at Su Peisheng implicitly. This servant was useless. He didn't even find out such a big thing as Shilan being late for paying his respects, which put the Master into such a predicament.

Little did he know that Yixiu had deliberately blocked the news. People were not allowed to enter Xiliyuan, so where could Su Peisheng go to get the news?

The Fourth Prince knew that if he didn't show some attitude today, there would be no way to make peace, so he could only say, "Xiao Yi is my wife, the wife of Prince Yong's mansion. Naturally, everyone should abide by the rules of the backyard, and Concubine Nian is no exception."

These words were a great blow to Nian Shilan. No matter whether it was the Fourth Prince's wife or Concubine Nian, they all made Nian Shilan feel miserable.

The Fourth Prince's prejudice against Nian Shilan was shaky, so he softened his heart and gave her a lighter punishment. "Since Concubine Nian is young and this is her first offense, she should be confined to reflect on her mistakes for three months."

When she heard that she would not be able to see the Fourth Prince for the next three months, Nian Shilan threw herself at the Fourth Prince's legs and sobbed, "Your Majesty, Shilan knows that I was wrong. I only beg Your Majesty not to see Shilan."

The Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment, but Yixiu interrupted him, "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Could it be that Concubine Nian also behaves like this in her mother's family?"

Even if Nian Shilan doesn't consider herself, she should at least consider the Nian family. She is not the invincible Concubine Hua who dominates the harem, and the Fourth Prince has not yet become the emperor!

If this matter were to get out, the reputation of the women from the Nian family would be damaged, but that would be of secondary concern. Kangxi, who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, hated people who were arrogant because of their favor. Although he would not sentence Nian Gengyao to death for his sake, he would probably issue an imperial decree to reprimand him. The only one who would receive such treatment was the Eighth Concubine.

Moreover, the Eighth Lady was reprimanded by Kangxi to attack the Eighth Prince, not because of her moral flaws. If Nian Shilan was reprimanded, it would be different.

Nian Shilan, a brainless man, couldn't think of so many things. He just thought Yixiu was extremely hateful. It was obvious that the Fourth Prince was about to give in, but was interrupted by Yixiu.

However, the Fourth Prince understood what Yixiu meant. The current situation was tense and one wrong move could lead to a complete failure. It would not be a good thing if Kangxi knew that the Fourth Prince favored Nian Shilan so much.

With a sigh, the Fourth Prince helped Nian Shilan up, and in Nian Shilan's expectant eyes, he said, "Fujin is right, Su Peisheng, why don't you take Concubine Nian back?"

Su Peisheng laughed bitterly. He had to take the blame himself, but he could only humbly say, "Mrs. Nian, please?"

Nian Shilan's tears fell on the back of the Fourth Prince's hand. She knew there was no room for maneuver, so she could only say, "Shilan will sincerely repent, Your Highness, please don't forget Shilan." After saying that, Nian Shilan left dejectedly and reluctantly.

The guilty should be punished, and the meritorious should be rewarded. Yixiu saw Lu Yingfeng's cleverness just now, and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Gege has made great contributions in giving birth to Miaohan. She has been in the mansion for more than ten years. I think it's time to raise Lu Gege's position."

The Fourth Prince looked at Yixiu with an unfathomable expression, as if he had just met her. Little Yixiu had always been obedient and sensible, so why had she become like this now?

As I said, the Fourth Prince takes Nian Gengyao into consideration, so naturally he also takes Jiang Chen into consideration. Yixiu's proposal is reasonable, so why would the Fourth Prince disagree?

"Leave everything to Madam Fu-jin." After saying this, the Fourth Prince turned away in displeasure.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to move, but Yixiu remained calm and said to Lu Yingfeng with a smile, "From now on, you should call Sister Lu "Lu Shufujin."

Lu Yingfeng lived up to Yixiu's admiration for her cleverness. She didn't care whether the Fourth Prince was angry or not. She thanked him happily, "Thank you, Madam, for your promotion."

Except for Li Jingyan, everyone else saluted Lu Yingfeng to congratulate her on her promotion.

All the things that needed to be done were done, so Yixiu asked everyone to leave. They had waited for the Fourth Prince for two hours today, and they had to follow etiquette and keep their backs straight and their chests out while sitting at their seats. It was quite tiring.
