Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 34: Concubine De's Thoughts and Recognition Investment
After meeting Jiang Chen, it was getting late, so the two princesses should return to the palace. The fourth princess followed the fifth princess to Ningshou Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and then returned to Yanxi Palace to pay respects to Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo.
After entering Ningshou Gate, the Fifth Princess stopped chattering as before, or rather, she had been a little distracted since Jiang Chen passed by.
The fourth princess had her own heart, so how could she not know that the fifth sister was a little moved? But the age difference was indeed a bit big, the fifth princess was only twelve years old this year. The previous sisters were all married at the age of nineteen. If that time really came, Jiang Chen would have been twenty-six.
There was nothing wrong with the age. After all, every marriage was not of the right age. A six or seven year age difference was common. But Jiang Chen was a scholar. Would he have a lot of tricks?
Even though they are princesses, they cannot stop their husbands from secretly taking concubines!
As far as she knew, these princes would not give those women status for the sake of the princess and the royal family's reputation, but they would give them all the grace, rewards and even offspring. However, if her husband dared to do this in secret, she could not blame herself for being cruel.
Although the Fourth Princess was thinking about something, she did not miss the troubled look that the Fifth Princess gave her from time to time. She smiled and scratched the Fifth Princess's nose, "You usually talk nonstop, why are you so quiet today? If the Royal Madam saw you, she would be so heartbroken!"
The fifth princess was so angry that she immediately forgot what she was thinking. "Fourth sister is bullying me again! I'm going to complain to the Queen Mother!" Then she ran towards the main hall.
The fourth princess was not in a hurry and she walked a little faster. She entered the palace after the fifth princess had paid her respects. When she entered the palace, she saw the fifth princess leaning next to the empress dowager. The fourth princess smiled and bowed, listened to the fifth princess's "little complaint", sat on the other side of the empress dowager, and acted like a spoiled child.
The Empress Dowager laughed so hard that she hugged her two granddaughters and tried to mediate. "All right, all right, Mama's Garudai (the fourth princess's name, which means phoenix) and Yaliqi (the fifth princess's name, which means little sweet fruit), stop quarreling. Quarrels hurt the relationship. Mama will give each of you a set of headgear, so that our girls can be beautiful every day!"
After a round of fun, the Empress Dowager was old and not energetic after all, so the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Princess tactfully left. The Fourth Princess returned to the Yanxi Palace, and the Fifth Princess returned to the Yongshou Palace. Concubine De knew that her daughter was leaving the palace today, and she was very worried. If the Fifth Princess did not go to comfort her, Concubine De was afraid that she would not be able to sleep all night.
The Fifth Princess is the ninth daughter of the Emperor. She is the only daughter who survived after Concubine De was unable to raise the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince died at an early age, and the Seventh Princess died at two months old. Only now that the Seventh Princess and the Fourteenth Prince are born, she is no longer lonely.
But Concubine De always felt indebted to her daughter. She had been pregnant and lost sons repeatedly, and her health was really poor. The fifth princess she gave birth to looked like a kitten. She had no other choice. In order to keep her daughter, she thought of the Empress Dowager. If there really were gods and Buddhas, could the Empress Dowager's fortune protect the child from being taken back by the Eternal Heaven?
The Empress Dowager was kind and willing to raise this girl who might not grow up. Concubine De devoted all her attention to her daughter during those years. In addition to visiting her daughter in Ningshou Palace, she would also copy scriptures and pray for blessings in the small Buddhist hall in Yongshou Palace.
Seeing her daughter grow up healthy to the age of twelve, Concubine De was extremely grateful to the Empress Dowager. She was also afraid that the Empress Dowager would misunderstand that she wanted to bring the fifth princess back to raise her. On weekdays, the mother and daughter did not have much time to spend together. Later, the fifth princess became sensible and came to Yongshou Palace to pay respects by herself. Concubine De was satisfied that her daughter was alive and healthy.
Concubine De held her daughter's hand and looked around, fearing that her daughter had lost weight again. To reassure her, the Fifth Princess followed her gaze and turned around a few times, teasing, "Mother, if you keep looking, you'll take away all the fat on our daughter's body!"
Concubine De was amused and said, "It's better to take a look. I think your waist is not fitting well."
The fifth princess said coquettishly: "My daughter is growing up, so it's normal for her to change clothes more frequently! Could it be that the palace is still short of a piece of cloth from me?"
The mother and daughter chatted for a while. The Fifth Princess was really tired today. She was about to close her eyes while talking. Concubine De felt sorry for her and asked her to go to sleep. After watching the Fifth Princess go to bed, Concubine De returned to her bedroom, sat in front of the mirror and put on her makeup. She asked Zhuxi, "Zhuxi, Yaliqi is a little excited today!"
Zhu Xi smiled and replied: "It's the fifth princess' first time out of the palace, so it's inevitable that she's a little excited."
"But why does Yalichi keep talking about the new number one scholar?" Defei wondered.
Zhuxi couldn't answer. Concubine Yi kept this a secret, but because of the Fifth Princess, Concubine De naturally knew what Concubine Yi was thinking. If the Fifth Princess was interested, the Emperor would not allow a scandal of two women fighting for one man.
Defei also had her own considerations. Yaliqi was born weak and could not withstand the Mongolian sandstorms. Defei naturally wanted to leave her daughter in the capital. The Empress Dowager was old, and for the sake of filial piety, it was very likely that Kangxi would keep the fifth princess.
But now that Concubine Yi has intervened, Kangxi will not allow his two daughters to stay in the capital in succession. If the Fourth Princess is not comforted, the Fifth Princess will certainly not be able to stay. Isn't this trying to win over Concubine De's heart?
If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. For the sake of the fifth princess, Concubine De could only feel sorry for the fourth princess. And she also had to thank Concubine Yi for providing her with a good candidate. In order to increase her bargaining chips, Concubine De had already prepared that Kangxi would marry his daughter back to the Tong family. As long as she could stay, Concubine De could endure it.
But Defei was thinking about the news passed in from outside, that was for the Fifth Princess to see - the eldest grandson of the Tong family, Shun Anyan, had actually bet on the eldest prince. Defei was frightened to see that these people in the Tong family relied on the emperor's favor and were unscrupulous and betting everywhere. Such a family would not last long and would also implicate her daughter.
She was originally hesitating, and now that Concubine Yi has sent a better candidate, Concubine De will naturally accept it with a smile! But she can't leave the palace, and the Ulanara family has their own little thoughts, so this matter can only be entrusted to the fourth son!
The Fourth Prince had no idea that his mother was going to give him a task. He was decorating his mansion and preparing to marry a beautiful bride!
What is the beautiful lady Liu Youyou doing? She is hesitating about the new support node that has appeared on the panel. After nearly fifteen years of planning, the external aid has finally been cultivated, but the panel gives a hint that the dragon is rising. If she reveals her relationship with Jiang Chen now, will Jiang Chen be labeled as a member of the Fourth Master's Party? Although there is no Fourth Master's Party yet.
But Liu Youyou believed that as Kangxi aged, he would always be suspicious of all his sons indiscriminately, so Liu Youyou hesitated again and again. After much thought, she decided to make the same choice as the first time. The greater the investment, the greater the opportunity. She believed that as long as there was enough money, everything would be solved.
Now she had two silver taels rewarded by the system (she spent 4000 taels), and Liu Youyou was willing to pay in taels directly. Anyway, her dowry was enough, so she might as well invest the money in the system first.
Liu Youyou resolutely chose to recognize her relatives and invested 10,000 taels of silver. Although it hurt, it was a necessary investment. Liu Youyou comforted herself, it's okay, 'Gold will come back again', the money spent will definitely double, my money.jpg!!!
