Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Yinxiu was stunned by the question. Yes, if she wanted to win over her master, why would she say something that would make her unhappy? Not everyone is like Nian Cefu Jin, who can summon people and dismiss them at will.

"Who else could it be? The only two people in the backyard who are capable of doing this are Fu Jin and Nian Ce Fu Jin."

Cao Qinmo had a guess in his mind, but it was too horrifying to say it out loud, so he could test it out with action.

"No matter who it is, their purpose is just one, to make me get closer to Fu Jin."

Yinxiu said anxiously, "Concubine Nian will never allow it."

Cao Qin sighed, looked at the palm-sized sky above her head, and said with emotion, "After entering the palace, how can we have the right to speak for ourselves? We are just the weak relying on the strong to seek a little life from them."

Since the person behind the scenes dared to act so blatantly, he didn't give Cao Qinmo a chance to choose! In other words, even if Cao Qinmo followed Nian Shilan all the way to the end, she would be easily eliminated, and Nian Shilan would not make the decision for Cao Qinmo.

Yinxiu still remembered Nian Shilan's majesty. She timidly approached Cao Qinmo and advised, "Concubine Nian is also very powerful. The master should take it slow."

Cao Qinmo loosened his grip, letting the remnants of the golden chrysanthemum fall to the ground, his eyes dim. "I know, but now that I've seen how powerful the people above are, I can't help but feel excited." When will he be able to be such a chess player instead of a chess piece that is discarded at will?

After calming down, Cao Qinmo took Yinxiu's hand and walked back, comforting her, "Now that Ling Gege has gone dormant, Concubine Nian has no rivals in the palace. We won't get any good if we get close to her. It's better to keep a low profile and slowly dilute the relationship with Lanyun Villa."

Seeing that Cao Qinmo was still calm and calculating, Yinxiu was relieved and said in a disappointed tone, "I don't know when I can see the prince. These days are really hard to endure!"

These words made Cao Qinmo tighten the strength of her hands. She smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the white-haired palace maid is here, and we can sit and talk about Emperor Xuanzong." She had made up her mind that she must find a way to meet the Fourth Prince. She must not just die in the backyard like this.

In the following days, it can be said that Nian Shilan and Fei Yunyan occupied most of the Fourth Prince's time. Fei Yunyan did not dare to compete with Nian Shilan for him, so Nian Shilan slept with him as many as twelve or thirteen days a month. In this case, how could Nian Shilan think of Cao Qinmo?

Cao Qinmo also gave up his last hope for Nian Shilan and began to think about how to get through Yixiu.

But things went more smoothly than Cao Qinmo had imagined. She thought she would have to be turned away several times before she could meet Yixiu, just like when she visited Nian Shilan. However, she never expected to be welcomed into the house by Jianqiu the first time she visited.

When Cao Qinmo entered the room, Yixiu was arranging flowers. It was already midwinter, but the vase in front of Yixiu was still filled with colorful flowers. Yixiu did not immediately entertain Cao Qinmo, but patiently trimmed the flowers in her hand before putting down the scissors and saying apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept Sister Cao waiting for a long time."

Cao Qinmo said respectfully, "I am very lucky to have seen Fu Jin's flower art. If Fu Jin says this again, it will really embarrass me."

Yixiu was not in a hurry and started chatting with Cao Qinmo, "So what do you think of my vase of flowers?"

After carefully appreciating the flowers, Cao Qinmo replied, "Although there are many varieties of flowers in this vase of Fu Jin, the flowers are arranged in an orderly manner. No one flower is particularly gorgeous, nor do the individual flowers lose their charm. It is really a masterpiece!"

Yi Xiu smiled even more, he was indeed a smart man, "Yes, it's like the backyard. I manage the backyard for the prince, working hard day and night without any slackness, and never have any selfish desires. I just hope that the backyard will bloom and make the prince live comfortably!"

Cao Qinmo said admiringly, "Madam Fu is so righteous that I cannot even begin to compare to her."

Yixiu put on a distressed look, "You don't have to flatter me. You haven't even slept with me yet, and this is my dereliction of duty as a concubine."

How could Cao Qinmo let Yixiu bear this crime? She said dejectedly, "Since I entered the mansion, I have been taken care of by the wife, and I have never seen the prince. It is also because I am really ugly and cannot be seen by the prince."

Yixiu said distressedly, "Sister Cao, why do you have to say such self-deprecating words? We are all from the imperial examination, how can we be described as vulgar? I'm sure you've read the story of King Zhuang of Chu's sudden success, but the time has not come yet. If there is an east wind to help, you will definitely rise to the top!"

Cao Qinmo was so moved that she wiped away her tears. "To hear your words, Madam, I am willing to die in history!"

Yixiu patted Cao Qinmo's arm, "What's the matter with death? I think my sister will be blessed in the future!" Then Yixiu said embarrassedly, "It's also my fault. I saw that my sister was close to Concubine Nian, so I thought Concubine Nian would recommend my sister, so I didn't do anything more. But my sister ended up in such an embarrassing situation now."

The real sex scene is coming! Cao Qinmo lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "I was really anxious and had nowhere else to go, so I went to find Concubine Nian, but Concubine Nian is forgetful and I'm afraid she can't remember me now."

Yixiu said pointedly, "Concubine Nian's heart and eyes are full of the prince. I don't know where she got the thought to suppress Ling Gege. Now that the prince is indulgent, it is inevitable that he will ignore the other sisters."

Yixiu's words can be understood as defending Cao Qinmo and Nian Shilan, or as a metaphor for Cao Qinmo's stab in the back of Nian Shilan, only to end up losing more than he gained, and not getting what he wanted.

Cao Qinmo naturally chose the latter understanding. She was shocked and thought Yixiu was going to blame her.

Yixiu ignored Cao Qinmo's awkwardness and continued, "How can we let all the flowers bloom if Sister Nian keeps clinging to the prince? It's really frustrating!"

Cao Qinmo savored the phrase "let a hundred flowers bloom" and vaguely understood what Yixiu meant. She said tentatively, "It's a pity that I am plain-looking and cannot share the worries of Fu Jin."

Yixiu said with emotion, "In fact, I hope that the prince will treat everyone equally, but it is only for the sake of his offspring. If everyone can raise a child, I don't know how happy the prince, the mother in the palace and I will be!"

Yixiu offered another bargaining chip that Cao Qinmo could not refuse - offspring. If she could have a child, even a daughter, she could live her life as freely as Lu Yingfeng, without having to look for a backer or act according to other people's wishes!

Cao Qinmo knelt down beside Yixiu's legs and leaned against her knees and said, "I am greedy. I beg you to show me a way out!"
