Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Jiang Chen listened to the teacher's analysis and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He asked, "Is it possible that none of these dozens of princes has an absolute chance of winning?"

Li Guangdi finished a long speech and was drinking water to moisten his throat. When he heard Jiang Chen's question, he tapped the lid of his tea and answered with an ambiguous tone, "Until the final decision is made, who can guarantee that they are the absolute winner? Besides, the opponents in the battle for the throne are more than just your brothers and sisters."

Jiang Chen nodded, not quite understanding, and asked the last question: "Then, teacher, do you have someone you like?"

Li Guangdi put down his teacup, walked to the window and looked out, saying without turning his head: "The emperor is in his prime, let's talk about this matter after ten years!"

The conversation between the master and the disciple ended here. The time had come. Li Guangdi and Jiang Chen went to the banquet. They arrived neither too early nor too late. Li Guangdi also introduced many connections to Jiang Chen. There was laughter and conversation in the reception room, and a sound of greetings was heard outside the door.

It turned out that the princes who were in class in the Shangshufang had finished their get out of class. They immediately changed their clothes and brought gifts to see the bride. The Fourteenth Prince relied on his blood relationship with the Fourth Prince and arrogantly put the gift in the eunuch's hand and rushed to the main table. The eldest prince, the crown prince, and the third prince were accompanying the Fourth Prince to entertain the guests.

The Fourth Prince frowned when he saw the Fourteenth Prince's rude behavior. He couldn't stand his younger brother's improper words and deeds, but Concubine De favored the youngest son and was unwilling to let the Fourth Prince discipline him, which led to the two brothers quarreling whenever they met.

And what about the Fourteenth Prince? He was deliberately trying to make the Fourth Prince angry. He felt that the stinky Fourth Prince was not his brother at all. He was raised by the woman, the Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia, and did not care about the grace of Consort De for giving birth to him, which would only make Consort De unhappy. Even when the uncle of the Wuya family wanted to use his connections to get a job, the Fourth Prince was unwilling to help.

Moreover, he only scolded him coldly, and even treated Thirteenth brother better than himself. He followed the Crown Prince like a lackey all day long. How could the Crown Prince give half of the throne to the Fourth Brother? Even Thirteenth brother was close to the Crown Prince. It was really unlucky.

So the Fourteenth Prince used his young age as an excuse to make the Fourth Prince angry constantly. Concubine De didn't want her eldest son, who had finally returned, to be alienated, and she couldn't stand her younger son's coquettishness, so she apologized to the Fourth Prince in a smooth-talking manner, and hinted subtly that your brother is still young and there is no need to blame him.

The Fourth Prince was a stubborn person. He knew that the Fourteenth Prince would always get into trouble if he was so spoiled! But his mother only knew how to protect the Fourteenth Prince. Moreover, when she saw the Fourteenth Prince acting like a spoiled child in the arms of Concubine De, and Concubine De only gave her some writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone with an apologetic look, the Fourth Prince felt like an outsider and could not stay any longer.

As for the matter of the Wuya family, it was not that the Fourth Prince did not help, but he had heard a lot of news while doing errands outside the palace. For example, the Wuya family relied on the names of the two princes in the palace to buy up fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing and accept bribes from officials from all directions. Who doesn't know about these illegal and disorderly things? If it weren't for the face of Concubine De, the Fourth Prince would not have been willing to acknowledge this relative, let alone help arrange errands.

To Concubine De, which family in the capital would not do the same? The Wuya family was poor and could not compare to the famous families. Her own son did not want to help and even disliked the Wuya family for misbehaving. How could this be an accusation against the Wuya family? To Concubine De, it sounded more like she was being scolded by someone pointing at her nose. The Fourth Prince disliked his mother's low status and regretted not being able to be born into Tong Jia's womb!

Over time, the relationship between mother and son became increasingly distant. However, under the gaze of Kangxi and the harem, she could not show that there was discord between mother and son. Every few days, the Fourth Prince would come to pay respects to Concubine De, with a cold face and no words, which made Concubine De more upset.

Outsiders don't know the inside story, but doesn't the Fourteenth Prince know it? He feels sorry for his mother, and even when she is wronged, he has to cover up for the Fourth Prince, so he uses his own way to mess up the Fourth Prince. But this only adds to the chaos, and Concubine De and the Fourth Prince become even less close.

So, the Fourteenth Prince wanted to make trouble for the Fourth Prince as soon as he entered the palace.

The Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince looked at each other, and the atmosphere was about to become dull. Fortunately, Liu Youyou's wedding sedan arrived, and everyone hurriedly changed the topic and urged the Fourth Prince to marry the bride! However, this interruption did not stop the Fourteenth Prince's actions, and an argument occurred before Liu Youyou got off the sedan.

Liu Youyou sat on the bed and ate melons, absorbed in it. It was true that the Fourteenth Prince had been at odds with the Fourth Prince since childhood. Could it be that aura was really determined by heaven? Disharmony was disharmony, no matter how it was adjusted.

During the hour that Liu Youyou was sitting in the tent waiting, there was no peace outside.

The bride was successfully ushered in, and the Fourth Prince remembered the Fourteenth Prince's annoying behavior just now, but because it was his own wedding banquet, he could only make another note in his little notebook. And he had an important task today.

When Concubine De paid respects to her husband a few days ago, she asked the Fourth Prince to do something for her. "Your Fifth Sister is not young anymore. I think we should prepare in advance. I want you to help me see if there is anyone suitable in the capital."

The Fourth Prince did not get along well with the Fourteenth Prince, but he loved his two well-behaved sisters, the Fifth Princess and the Seventh Princess, very much. Naturally, he was very concerned about this matter, but the Defei would not bring up this matter for no reason. She must have had some ideas before taking action.

So the Fourth Prince asked Concubine De: "Does my mother have any requests in her mind?"

Seeing that the fourth sister was so sensible, Defei hinted: "Your fifth sister loves reading. I hope she can find a talented man so that she and her husband can live in harmony!"

Isn't the only famous and talented person in the capital during this period the number one scholar who won the sixth place? The Fourth Prince was a little surprised and looked up at Concubine De. Seeing that the Fourth Prince knew the candidate, Concubine De continued, "It doesn't matter if she's older, as long as she has a clean family and can love people."

The Fourth Prince had never met Jiang Chen, so he didn't know what kind of person he was. He could only say this in advance: "My son can only get to know him slowly. Mother, don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Of course, De Fei knew this, but Jiang Chen was really suitable, and she was afraid that others would also be eyeing him, so De Fei could only take the initiative. "Whether this will work out or not depends on fate, but it's better to pick one early than to pick what others have left."

Seeing that Concubine De had an idea in mind, the Fourth Prince readily agreed to it. However, dealing with Jiang Chen required timing. The Emperor must have someone watching Jiang Chen, and he couldn't do anything without the permission of the Crown Prince. So after thinking about it, he decided that the wedding day was the most suitable.

With this idea in mind, the Fourth Prince came to Jiang Chen's table under the pretext of toasting, while Li Guangdi was at a table with important ministers. This table was filled with upright Han ministers, all of whom were older than Jiang Chen. When they saw the Fourth Prince coming, they hurriedly picked up their glasses. Jiang Chen had the lowest position and the youngest seniority, so he was the last to clink glasses with the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince, under the pretense of being drunk, asked Jiang Chen, "Sir Jiang, now that you have an official position, when will you get married?"

Others just thought that the Fourth Prince was happy about getting married today, and did not care about other people's situations, and did not suspect anything.

Jiang Chen could only vaguely say, "My family was poor when I was young, and I was able to enter the official career thanks to the hard work of my teacher. Now I don't want to get married. Besides, it's my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, so the marriage still needs my mother and teacher to arrange it."

The Fourth Prince laughed and smoothed things over: "Everyone here has heard that our Lord Jiang is still single. If there are suitable sisters in your family, you should consider it!"

Everyone started to make a noise, and Jiang Chen was too embarrassed to look up. Everyone laughed together, and the Fourth Prince went to the next table to toast. Li Guangdi heard this and felt something was wrong. When did this cold-faced Fourth Prince care so much about other people's affairs?
