Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After making Kangxi happy again, Shu Fei returned to her tent and said unwillingly, "If Yinli was born a few years earlier..." With Kangxi's favor and Yinli's own abilities, he might be able to achieve great things like the Fourteenth Prince.

But now Yinli is clearly in his twenties, but he is still spending time in the Shangshufang with his nephews. How can Shufei not be angry?

Jiyun massaged Shufei's legs to relieve her fatigue. Serving Kangxi was not an easy job. After wearing high heels for several hours, her legs and feet were numb.

"If the master feels sorry for the Seventeenth Master, why not ask the Emperor for a job?" Jiyun came up with an idea.

Shu Fei was helpless. "It's an easy job, but if the emperor misunderstands that my mother and I are fighting for power, I'm not afraid of being rejected by the emperor because I'm old and ugly, but Yinli is so young. If he doesn't have the emperor's care, I'm afraid that his older brothers will eat him up."

Isn't it because Kangxi likes Shu Fei and her son that they don't fight or plot? If this character setting is broken, Kangxi will think that the previous ones were all pretending, wouldn't that be worse?

Hanzhu couldn't help complaining, "If she were to be put out there, a man in his twenties who has not done anything serious, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to find a marriage." After all, which girl would be willing to marry a man who is unproductive and has no future?

This gave Shu Fei some inspiration. Ordinary people couldn't get a wife, but that was not necessarily the case for the royal family.

"Hanzhu, you reminded me that Yinli is already this old now, it's time to arrange a marriage for him."

The royal family all follow the rule of getting married before establishing a career. Kangxi took power only after getting married, and the princes also got involved in the politics of the previous dynasty only after getting married. It can be said that marriage is like a weather vane, and marriage is a signal.

Shu Fei started to look for a suitable family. Although she had little experience, she knew to compare the previous princes. However, big families like the Niuhulu and Ulanara were already owned, and it was impossible for them to give up the ready-made ones to invest in the Seventeenth Prince. As for those with too low a family background, Shu Fei looked down on them. What help could such a family give to Yin Li?

After much searching, one family particularly met Shu Fei's requirements. Pei Guogong Meng Dase had an only daughter named Meng Jingxian, who would participate in the selection next year and whose age was very compatible with the Seventeenth Prince. Pei Guogong rose to power through military merit and had only one daughter. It seemed that for the sake of the future, he would also do his best to help his son-in-law.

As for Meng Jingxian, one can tell from her name that she is a gentle and quiet girl. Although she is the daughter of a military general, she is particularly proficient in poetry and books. If she really marries him, she will not be afraid of having no topics to talk about with Yinli.

As for the origin of the Han Army Banner? Shu Fei's own origin is not as good as the Meng family!

It was no secret that Concubine Shu wanted to choose a wife for the Seventeenth Prince, and many people in the palace had received the news, including Concubine De.

When the news was received, Yixiu happened to come to pay her respects. Defei did not hide this matter from Yixiu and told her directly through the little palace maid.

Defei raised her eyebrows, "Shufei can't sit still either." It's a little late to end it now, and it's really courageous.

Yixiu thought about her past life and the truth she guessed, so she didn't mind giving it a push. She pretended to be ignorant and said, "No wonder Empress Shufei is anxious. Seventeenth Brother is indeed not a child anymore."

De Fei pointed out, "This marriage is nothing, but the meaning behind it is different."

Yixiu thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "If they get married, my Seventeenth Brother will be able to attend government affairs. No wonder my mother said that Concubine Shu couldn't sit still."

De Fei was satisfied with Yi Xiu's understanding and continued to explain, "But whether this will succeed or not depends entirely on whether someone will trip up Shu Fei."

Yixiu said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, mother."

Defei smiled, "The emperor is weak and suspicious now. If someone reminds him of Shufei's intention, will Shufei's plan be successful?" Even his favorite concubine and young son have begun to become restless. Just a little provocation can cause a hundred times more harm to Kangxi.

Yixiu asked, "What if the emperor is willing to give respect to Concubine Shu?" After all, Concubine Shu has been a favorite concubine for so long, she must have some weight in Kangxi's heart. Even if Concubine Shu is not suitable, Kangxi must consider the Seventeenth Prince.

Defei sneered, "Dignity? Which is more important, Shufei's dignity or the emperor's? The emperor is ill from time to time now. With his father like this, how can the Seventeenth Prince devote himself to his marriage? If they, mother and son, really dare to do this, they can just wait for the impeachment of the Censorate!" An act of unfilial piety could completely kill the Seventeenth Prince.

Yixiu proposed a different idea, "If that's the case, then we might as well help Concubine Shu."

Defei paused while pouring tea and motioned Yixiu to continue.

"Although my daughter-in-law is not in the palace, I have heard that Empress Shufei and the Seventeenth Prince are both deeply favored by the Emperor. Even if their marriage is ruined, it will not be a big blow to Empress Shufei." But the first step of the test was rejected, and Shufei continued to work hard in her own little piece of land in the harem.

Concubine De was thoughtful.

"Even if Concubine Shu persuades me, maybe the Seventeenth Prince will be even more favored by the Emperor."

As long as Shu Fei was a smart person, she would know that someone was behind this. She didn't have to find out who it was. She just had to cry to Kangxi and tell him that the princes in power couldn't even tolerate a younger brother who wanted to rule the country, and even forbade him to get married. Kangxi would naturally find someone to blame.

Defei clenched the teacup. Shufei was undoubtedly a smart person. Without any foundation, she broke the blockade of the four concubines and became the fifth concubine.

"What does Yixiu mean?"

Yixiu smiled slightly and said, "Since if we ruin this matter, Empress Shufei might blame us, why don't we make it happen." If this matter came to fruition, it would be an inexplicable stain in Kangxi's eyes.

De Fei clapped her hands and laughed, "Yi Xiu is really smart."

The level of the families that Shu Fei could choose from is there, and success or failure will not have any impact on the older princes. Interrupting Shu Fei's plan is just a warning.

Now, if the method proposed by Yixiu is implemented properly, it can cut off Shu Fei's favor. At that time, what use will it be even if the Seventeenth Prince has a capable wife's family to support him? What's more, Shu Fei's family background is there, and she can't choose any capable wife's family at all.

Seeing that Concubine De was moved, Liu Youyou was also satisfied. At least this time Meng Jingxian would not have to bear the title of a fiancée with no clear path forward, wait for her until she was an old maid, and then step into the fire pit of Prince Guo.

It was Kangxi's fault. He said it verbally, and then nothing happened. The Meng family couldn't deceive the emperor. They wanted to hint at the civet cat under the pretext of "I will not marry anyone but you". But the civet cat had a strange mind and refused to take the bait. It directly pushed Meng Jingxian into a desperate situation. What do you mean by weak and sickly? If you were to get married like this, would you be happy? Then you would be depressed and sick.
