Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

In this way, under the tacit arrangement of Shu Fei and Peiguo Mansion, Meng Jingxian met the Seventeenth Prince by chance while burning incense at Hongluo Temple.

Meng Jingxian was taken to a remote and quiet place by people arranged by Shu Fei. From a distance, she saw a tall and graceful man standing under a bodhi tree, admiring the lotus flowers blooming on the water.

Just the sight of her back made Meng Jingxian blush. Yuzhu, her personal maid who came with her, couldn't help but scream. The man who heard the voice turned around.

Meng Jingxian thought the back view was already stunning, but she didn't expect the man to turn around and reveal his face. His whole temperament was even more intoxicating. Meng Jingxian said infatuatedly, "There are bandits who are like gentlemen, like cutting and polishing, like polishing."

After saying this, Meng Jingxian realized how rude she was. How could she be so reckless?

The Seventeenth Prince was also startled by Meng Jingxian's words, but seeing Meng Jingxian's flushed cheeks, he found it amusing instead, "From what the young lady said, have you also read the Book of Songs?"

Seeing that the Seventeenth Prince had no intention of pursuing her impoliteness, Meng Jingxian changed the subject and said, "I have been weak since childhood, so my father did not dare to teach me horse riding and archery, so he asked a teacher to teach me to read. The first book I learned was "Poetry".

The Seventeenth Prince agreed with his eyes, "The poem is simple and romantic, the sage commented on 'pure thoughts', the young lady and the teacher have a keen eye."

Meng Jingxian nodded in agreement, "The teacher has been very open with me. When I was young, I just thought that the Book of Songs was easy to read, but now I feel that I have nothing to say without learning poetry."

The Seventeenth Prince asked, "There are three kinds of poetry: Feng, Ya, and Song. Do you have a preference, young lady?"

Meng Jingxian hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "The Ya and Song are commonly used outside, but I like the Feng. The folk customs and the most sincere feelings in it should be savored carefully."

Songs are poems for ancestral temple sacrifices, Yas are mostly poems for noble sacrifices, and Fengs are folk songs from all over the country. In order to pass the imperial examinations, scholars often focus on the first two, after all, the examination papers cannot be without praise for the emperor's grace. However, Meng Jingxian did not need to take the imperial examinations, and the teacher's teaching was mainly to cultivate elegant tastes, otherwise he would not have started with the Book of Songs.

The Seventeenth Prince also liked "The Wind" the most, but he suspected that Meng Jingxian said it just to please him, so he asked tentatively, "Has that girl ever learned "The New Stage"?"

If Yuzhu knew that this poem was about a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, she would probably jump up and down and curse. Even if you are a prince, you cannot insult others like this.

But apart from the Seventeenth Prince, only Meng Jingxian knew what Xin Tai was about. Facing the Seventeenth Prince's words, she remained calm and said with a smile, "Of course I have learned Xin Tai, but I prefer Wei Feng·Mang."

A man can still escape from his love, but a woman cannot escape from her love. You feel that you have been wronged and want to marry me, but don't I worry that my future husband will change his mind and put his trust in the wrong person?

The Seventeenth Prince was secretly criticized by Meng Jingxian and didn't know what to say.

Meng Jingxian quickly regained her sanity. Although the Seventeenth Prince was a good man, he seemed unwilling to get married. She decided to go back to the mansion to discuss it with her father and mother. However, she was still young, so she couldn't help but say, "The mouse has manners, but the human is rude!"

Ah Jin had also studied with the Seventeenth Prince, and was also familiar with the most explicit poem, "Xiang Shu", which was insulting. He looked at the figures of Meng Jingxian and Yuzhu going away, and said unhappily, "You said you were rude, but I think it's the princess of the Peiguo family who is rude!"

The Seventeenth Prince tapped A Jin on the head with his folding fan and said, "I was the first to be rude. Don't blame Miss Meng."

Ah Jin was thinking, Miss Meng? Didn't the Seventeenth Master politely call her 'the princess of the Duke of Pei' before? Who knows! I have to report this to the Queen.

However, Meng Jingxian returned to the Duke of Pei's Mansion calmly. When she saw her father and mother who were anxiously waiting for her, she couldn't hold back her tears and threw herself into Madam Meng's arms and cried.

This cry broke the hearts of Meng Dase and Madam Meng. Meng Dase frowned and asked Yuzhu, "What happened when you burned incense?"

Yuzhu didn't expect that the young lady, who had been calm all the time, would burst into tears when she returned home. She recalled in panic, "I followed the young lady to see the noble, and the noble exchanged a few poems with the young lady, and then returned."

Meng Jingxian also calmed down and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Don't blame Yuzhu, she is just a maid and can't understand the witty conversation between me and the noble lady."

Witness? Madam Meng said uneasily, "But the noble lady..."

Meng Jingxian put away her little daughter's thoughts and said calmly, "I'm afraid that Empress Shufei has a different idea. I see that the noble lady doesn't seem willing." Come to think of it, if Empress Shufei really had the final say, why would the Seventeenth Prince need to meet with Meng Jingxian in private?

Meng Da was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "They dragged our family into this before they could come up with a solution! I'm going to find the emperor right now and find out whether it will succeed or not." He was going to fall out with Shu Fei.

Meng Jingxian pulled her father and said, "Father, what are you going to do? Do we have any room for bargaining in royal affairs? Even if you ask the emperor to make the decision, the best result is that your daughter will successfully marry the Seventeenth Master. If that's the case, it's not called marriage, but enmity."

Meng Dase was unhappy, "You were also raised by your mother and I, why are they so precious?" Does my girl deserve to be picked and chosen by others?

Meng Jingxian said calmly, "To be honest, I have met many princes and their wives with my mother. How many of them are really satisfied with what they have seen?"

The first wife sacrificed her life to give birth to a son;

The Crown Princess was imprisoned along with the deposed Crown Prince, and she also went there a few years ago;

The Third Lady lost her first son and fought with the Concubine, giving birth to a second son, but this also ruined the relationship between the couple.

The Fourth Lady was originally in a good position, but with the coming of the Concubine Nian, even the housekeeping power was divided;

Not to mention the Fifth Lady, who had no children, no favor, and no family background;

The Seventh Lady and the Fifth Lady are the oldest and don’t talk about the second;

The Eighth Lady was also scolded by the Emperor along with the Eighth Prince. Although the Eighth Prince said that they had a deep love for each other and that the son and daughter were not his own, only the Eighth Lady knew about it, and she was also branded as jealous.

The Ninth Lady watched the Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince grow old together, and still had no son of their own. She really had no luck at all, and was always in danger of disaster.

The Tenth Lady was born in Mongolia, which directly blocked the Tenth Prince's path to succession. No matter how kind-hearted the Tenth Prince was, could he treat the Tenth Lady well? After finally giving birth to a son, she ended up ruining her health. Who knows how many years she can live?

The 12th Concubine does have a good family background, being the daughter of Ma Qi. However, it seems that she is not doing well these years. The 12th Prince was raised by Su Ma, so it is not a good thing for her to be too noble. In addition, Ma Qi did not even look at the 12th Prince and went straight to the 8th Prince. Tsk tsk tsk;

The Thirteenth Lady was also miserable. When the Thirteenth Prince was doing well, she did not like the Thirteenth Lady and favored the concubine's son. Later, when something happened, the Thirteenth Lady had to take care of the whole family and try to save the Thirteenth Prince.

The Fourteenth Concubine had even more grievances. Although the Fourteenth Prince and Concubine De were good to her, Concubine De was better to the Fourteenth Prince. No matter whether they were concubines or side wives, none of them were not from a prominent family. The life of the Fourteenth Concubine was really bitter.

In a word, marrying into your royal family is really a matter of sharing both hardships and happiness! Can you share both? Not even a little bit.
