Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Yixiu was still smiling, and brought up a more 'virtuous' topic, "Your Highness, since you praised me like this, I actually remembered something and I have to report it to Your Highness!"

The Fourth Prince asked curiously, "Oh, what is it?"

Yixiu had an annoyed look on her face. "Today, when I was paying my respects, I realized that one of the sisters who came was left out! I just realized that Sister Cao, who came into the mansion with Sister Lin, has not yet entered the bedchamber! She is so forgetful that she didn't even remember this matter!"

Without Yixiu's reminder, the Fourth Prince couldn't remember Cao Qinmo. Even after Yixiu's reminder, he still had no impression of her. But it was hard to refuse Yixiu's intention, so he could only vaguely agree, "Xiaoyi is right. I will remember to go see Cao Gege."

Yixiu stopped at the right time and kept signaling Jianqiu to serve the Fourth Prince some dishes, such as big pork elbows and roasted lamb legs. The more the better! The Fourth Prince must be fed until his belly was full.

The Fourth Prince also enjoyed Yixiu's care, so he didn't refuse. He usually only ate until he was 70% to 80% full, but now he was a little full. The Fourth Prince sweetly and helplessly stopped Jianqiu from continuing to pick up the dishes.

Yixiu noticed that the Fourth Prince had a noticeable curved belly, and said a little embarrassedly, "I was so concerned that I didn't even notice how much the prince ate."

The Fourth Prince patted Yixiu's hand and said affectionately, "Xiaoyi is concerned about me, I know."

On the second day, the Fourth Prince left Xili Courtyard and asked Su Peisheng, "Is that Cao Gege close to Fu Jin?" The Fourth Prince's suspicion never stopped.

Su Su Peisheng came close to the Fourth Prince and whispered, "After Cao Gege entered the palace, Concubine Jin visited her several times last year and even received many rewards from Concubine Jin! As for Concubine Jin, she only rewarded Cao Gege with a few pieces of fabric yesterday."

The Fourth Prince understood that Xiaoyi was kind-hearted. Once she found that she had neglected Cao Qinmo, she would give Cao Qinmo some compensation. However, getting close to Shilan? The Fourth Prince asked uncertainly, "Is Cao Gege very enthusiastic about Shilan?"

Su Peisheng did not want to offend anyone, and said with a smile, "Since entering the palace, Lady Cao has not been in bed with anyone. Maybe she is anxious, so she is looking for ways to have more people to talk to. I think Lady Nian will tacitly allow Lady Cao to visit her."

The Fourth Prince nodded at Su Peisheng and said, "You old slave, you don't offend anyone!" Could Nian Shilan be an easy person to get along with? It's easy to know that Cao Qinmo wanted to rely on Nian Shilan to get the opportunity to be recommended by Nian Shilan to sleep with him.

But if this is the case, Cao Qinmo herself has no power, otherwise she would not have been in the mansion for so many days and still remain unknown. But the trouble is that Cao Qinmo does not live in Lanyun Villa, and is not affected by Huanyixiang like Fei Yunyan. If she really starts to sleep with the emperor, it would be difficult to deal with if she gets pregnant.

The Fourth Prince said in an ambiguous tone, "Fujin is the mistress of the palace. Why can Cao see Lanyun Villa but not Xili Courtyard?"

Su Peisheng thought about what Jianqiu had said to him yesterday, and chose to speak up for Cao Qinmo. "I dare to guess what the wife's identity is. How could Cao Gege dare to go to Xiliyuan so rashly?"

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince's momentum was not so solemn. "Fu Jin is kind, but the newcomer has not understood it. If she knew Fu Jin's character, then Cao Shi would not have to be so nervous." Turning the beads in his hand, the Fourth Prince instructed, "I think she still needs someone to guide her. Find someone to explain Lu Shi's freedom to her."

Su Peisheng nodded in agreement, knowing that most of what the concubine had wished for had been accomplished. He just didn't know whether this Cao Gege could understand the good intentions of the prince and the concubine.

Cao Qinmo certainly understood. She was a perceptive person and she noticed something was wrong the moment things changed.

This matter started with Cao Qinmo's "chance encounter" with the gossipy maid.

Since Lin Zhuoyin fainted during the Qingan Festival that day, she claimed to be ill. Nian Shilan had no opponent, so she could not think of Cao Qinmo who offered advice. Fortunately, Cao Qinmo also had doubts about whether to follow Nian Shilan, so she was not anxious about Nian Shilan's neglect.

The reward given by Nian Shilan was enough for Cao Qinmo to live a comfortable life for a long time, so Cao Qinmo was not anxious about what to do next. She was also afraid that Yi Xiu would target her, so she took the opportunity to be quiet for a while in order to reduce Yi Xiu's vigilance.

After thinking it through, Cao Qinmo also decided to walk around the courtyard. Her whereabouts were not secret, which made it easier for Su Peisheng to arrange for the palace maid to talk.

Cao Qinmo was pinching a golden chrysanthemum and was about to talk to Yinxiu when a burst of whispers came from the rockery.

"If you ask me, in this backyard, Concubine Lu still lives the best!"

"Where do you put Concubine Li and Concubine Nian?"

"Let me analyze this with you. Listen to what I say and see if it makes sense. Although Concubine Li and Concubine Nian are one level higher than Concubine Lv, to be honest, they may not live as carefree a life as Concubine Lv!

It is true that Concubine Li is supporting Prince Hongshi, but she is not smart and Prince Hongshi is not liked by the prince. Roughly speaking, the prince has not favored Concubine Li for a long time.

Nian Concubine seems to be good in every way, but she has no power to fight back against Shang Fujin. Do you remember what happened before and after Ling Gege fainted?"

"You mean the tit-for-tat between Concubine Lü and Concubine Nian? Speaking of which, Concubine Lü is really bold. If it were me, I would never dare to confront Concubine Nian!"

"It's not the wife of Lu Shu who gave her the confidence. If she hadn't raised a princess, she would have been the last concubine in the palace!"

"According to what you said, Lu Shufujin is really a person who has both substance and appearance!"

"Of course not! It's just that Fu Jin is low-key, so there are always people who only care about the petty gains in front of them to curry favor with Fu Jin. If you ask me, isn't this like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?"

These words were clearly an indirect accusation. Yinxiu had been listening carefully, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but get angry and wanted to step forward and scold the maid who was talking nonsense.

Cao Qinmo suppressed Yinxiu's movements and pulled Yinxiu away.

Yinxiu said aggrievedly, "Master, why don't you let me find the gossiping maids? I will take them to Fu Jin's courtyard and let Fu Jin handle the matter for you!"

Cao Qinmo crushed the golden chrysanthemum in his hand and asked calmly, "You said, these two maids did it unintentionally?"

Yinxiu was influenced by Cao Qinmo and calmed down, "In my opinion, it is definitely not the case!"

Cao Qinmo asked again, "Who sent it?"

Yinxiu thought for a moment, "Those two maids belittled Concubine Li and Concubine Nian in their words, and praised Concubine Fu Jin and Concubine Lu Shu. They especially praised Concubine Fu Jin. I think they were sent by Concubine Fu Jin!"

Cao Qinmo shook her head. "If she is really Fu Jin, she sent someone here just to win me over. But how could she say something so veiled when trying to win me over?"
