Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 266: Su Peisheng's hidden worries and Nian Shilan's title change

When Nian Shilan heard this, she couldn't hide her pride in her eyes, and urged Songzhi, "Your Majesty's kindness is precious, why don't you burn the incense quickly? From now on, whenever I am in Lanyun Villa, I will smell this fragrance."

Songzhi sensed Nian Shilan's anxiety and directly took out a brand new and exquisite incense burner, "The prince's love for the master deserves such an incense burner."

Nian Shilan glanced at Songzhi with satisfaction and said, "It's my fault for not thinking it through."

As she said this, the maids had already lit the incense neatly, and according to Songzhi's instructions, they put in enough spices. Soon, the whole Lanyun Villa was filled with the scent of Huanyi incense.

Seeing the Huan Yi incense lit, Su Peisheng asked Nian Shilan about her satisfaction, "I wonder if Concubine Jin is satisfied with the incense? The prince specifically asked me to ask Concubine Jin. He said that if she doesn't like it, he will ask someone to improve the incense recipe."

Being treated so lovingly by the Fourth Prince, how could Nian Shilan be dissatisfied? "This fragrance is unique and rich, and it makes people feel refreshed. It is really the best fragrance."

Su Peisheng added, "The prince has missed Concubine for a long time, and he will definitely come today. Please make preparations early."

Nian Shilan had been knocked down by the Fourth Prince's combination of punches and could only respond happily.

"Your Highness loves the food here. My brother just sent a batch of top-quality purple ginseng, which is paired with black chickens from Yuzhang (now Jiangxi). It is the most nutritious. Please tell your Highness that I am waiting for your Highness to come and taste it."

Su Peisheng agreed with a smile, "I will tell His Majesty what Concubine Concubine said."

Su Peisheng brought Xiao Xiazi with him, and Nian Shilan gave him a lot of money. After leaving Lanyun Villa, Xiao Xiazi touched the light purse and smiled from ear to ear, "Master, Concubine Nian is really generous." This purse was almost equivalent to his annual salary.

Su Peisheng reminded Xiao Xiazi, "Mrs. Nian is a generous person and is not stingy with money. Although we servants have no objections, the prince is partial to us, so we must be careful when dealing with Songzhi and the others."

Xiao Xiazi said with a smile, "I know." Only Concubine Nian was so generous, how could he not understand?

Su Peisheng nodded at Xiao Xiazi and said, "Master asked you to pay attention, not to curry favor with him. We are the servants of the prince." He would only narrow his own path if he only cared about pleasing Nian Shilan.

Xiao Xiazi pondered over Su Peisheng's words and nodded in understanding.

Su Peisheng sighed again, "It's hard to spread Concubine Nian's words." Nian Shilan's words were full of respect for the Fourth Prince, but when they fell into the Fourth Prince's ears, I'm afraid that all he heard was the purple ginseng sent by Nian Gengyao.

Purple ginseng is named because its rhizome is purple and shaped like ginseng. It mainly grows in the southwest region. It has powerful medicinal effects and its purple color makes it extremely precious.

Nian Gengyao could just give a batch of these things to Nian Shilan instead of giving them to the Fourth Prince. What would the Fourth Prince think?

Although Nian Shilan was hated by everyone, he had a good reputation among the servants. After all, he was generous and spent real money, so who wouldn't say good things? Especially to the people who served the Fourth Prince, his attitude was even more moderate.

Su Peisheng also thought of Nian Shilan's goodness, but this goodness might not be good in the eyes of the Fourth Prince! But Su Peisheng was just the Fourth Prince's personal eunuch, and the most important thing was his loyalty. He couldn't remind Nian Shilan.

Xiao Xiazi doesn't have Su Peisheng's conscience, he only cares about money, and the only person he cares about is Su Peisheng. "Master, why should you worry? We are just mouths to pass on messages, and it is not up to us to say it or not." Can servants like them influence their master's thoughts?

Su Peisheng sighed and looked at Xiao Xiazi, who seemed heartless but was actually cold and sober, and said, "You are indeed a good seedling." Su Peisheng felt that Xiao Xiazi's character was better than his own.

Xiao Xiazi smiled shyly, "Without Master's support, I would have been thrown into a mass grave long ago. Don't worry, I will never betray Master."

People are kind-hearted. Su Peisheng did not hide his support for Xiao Xiazi, and Xiao Xiazi reciprocated the favor and became the closest to Su Peisheng.

Xiao Xiazi was handsome and likable, with sincere eyes, which made Su Peisheng's heart soften. He patted Xiao Xiazi on the back, feeling touched but still admonishing, "We are the servants of the prince, so our hearts should naturally be with the prince."

Xiao Xiazi knew what Su Peisheng meant and agreed promptly. The master and disciple went back to report to the Fourth Prince.

It was another day of greetings. Nian Shilan had learned her lesson and probably didn't dare to be late again. Everyone chatted casually, estimating the time in their hearts, thinking that Nian Shilan would definitely come on time.

Li Jingyan said to Lu Yingfeng bitterly, "Sister Lu, have you heard of Huan Yi Xiang?"

Lu Yingfeng replied, "How could I not know? Concubine Nian is indeed favored by the prince, even her incense is unique."

Li Jingyan was very concerned about this matter and told Lu Yingfeng in detail, "Sister Lu, you don't know that Concubine Nian's Lanyun Villa is now full of the scent of Huanyixiang. Such a precious spice is wasted like this."

Li Jingyan was speaking seriously and didn't notice Nian Shilan coming in. Nian Shilan naturally heard what Li Jingyan said and directly retorted, "Sister Li, you don't know that the prince specifically told you not to use it for the sake of his kindness. How can I not listen to him?"

Li Jingyan was already feeling guilty after being caught gossiping by Nian Shilan, and he became even angrier when he heard Nian Shilan's words which seemed like explanations but were actually bragging. He did not notice the change in Nian Shilan's address at all.

But Lu Yingfeng, who was standing next to her, noticed it. She sat there with a strange look on her face, and Nian Shilan noticed, "Sister Lu, why did your face change so suddenly? Is there something wrong with me?"

Li Jingyan also reacted now. She was dumbfounded and said, "Mrs. Nian, what do you call Mrs. Lü Shu?"

Nian Shilan smiled and said calmly, "Sister Lu! Sister Li, calling me Concubine Nian makes me look like I am not one of the sisters. It's really sad. If outsiders hear it, I don't know what they will criticize."

It wasn't Li Jingyan and the others who insisted on calling Nian Shilan "concubine" at the beginning, but Nian Shilan said that she didn't want to be sisters with the people in the backyard. It was Nian Shilan who said so at the beginning, and now it's her who changed her words. Life is really unpredictable!

Li Jingyan was unable to react, so Lu Yingfeng could only speak out, "Sister Nian is right, we are all sisters, we should call each other more intimately."

Li Jingyan also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault for being so tongue-tied. I've hurt sister Nian's feelings." Although she said this, Li Jingyan was secretly happy in her heart. Nian Shilan had always been dissatisfied with Li Jingyan, but now she took the initiative to call her sister. Whoever heard it was happy.
