Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 41: Raising a Big Boy and Qi Yuebin

The Fourth Prince was a new father, and he didn't mind that it was a daughter, but when he took the child from Madam Zhao Jia, the little princess was frighteningly thin. The Fourth Prince adjusted the holding position unskillfully, and the little princess's initial cry was so faint that it was almost inaudible, and her face was bruised, which really didn't look like a long-lived person.

The imperial physician came to check her pulse and just said this in a daze, saying that the little princess had been trapped in her mother's womb for too long and that she would be fine after a slow recovery. The royal family had no shortage of medicinal materials, and the fourth prince had all the wealth of Empress Xiaoyiren, so he had a lot of medicinal materials in his closet.

But the Fourth Prince had seen the Eleventh Prince, and when he was born, the imperial physician also said that he would be fine after a slow recovery. But how much effort had Concubine Yi put in over the years? She was afraid that the child would die if she could not take care of him. She could not stand the wind on weekdays, and could not even go to the Shangshufang to study with her brothers. But even with such careful care, the situation had become worse in the past few years.

There is no way to use the situation of offspring in the families of the Fourth Prince’s older brothers as a reference.

The eldest prince always thought that he could not become the crown prince because he was the eldest son, and since he could not be the eldest son, he would give birth to a eldest grandson. So since he got married in the 27th year, he tried his best to have children with his first wife. But he gave birth to four princesses in a row. And because of the continuous childbirth, the first wife, who was only in her twenties, aged like she was in her thirties. She could not go out without powdering herself.

What about the crown prince? He hasn't married yet! The fate of the crown princess is worrying. She was about to get married, but her grandfather passed away and she had to observe mourning. Her father also passed away on the way back to attend the funeral. With this double mourning, the crown princess can only enter the palace next year. The crown prince was originally provoked by the eldest prince to be outstanding, but this daughter-in-law couldn't marry into the palace. For the sake of offspring, he also favored the concubines and concubines in the East Palace. However, the one son and two daughters born either died at birth or did not live for more than a few months.

The Third Prince's marriage went smoothly, but there has been no movement in the mansion, making it of no reference value.

The fourth prince could only refer to Kangxi, but Kangxi also lost more than a dozen children in his early years. It was not until the fourth prince's descendants that the children were basically established. This made the fourth prince have a bad guess. Is it possible that his own offspring will also be like this?

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince was about to drop the little princess in his arms, but Su Peisheng supported him from behind. Nanny Zhao Jia also stepped forward to take the little princess. Nanny Zhao Jia was left by Empress Xiaoyi Ren to the Fourth Prince, and she was only loyal to Empress Xiaoyi Ren. She had seen the eighth princess who had worn down Empress Xiaoyi Ren's health, and died in one month, and from then on, she also took away Empress Xiaoyi Ren's spirit.

Madam Zhao Jia could only comfort the Fourth Prince, "Fourth Master, if you take good care of this little princess, she will get better!"

The Fourth Prince looked at Madam Zhao Jia and recalled the sister who had caused a rift between him and the Empress Dowager. When the Imperial Concubine was pregnant, many Tong Jia servants in Chengqian Palace who knew how to look at her thought that they didn't need an adopted son anymore, so they secretly made things difficult for him. However, the Empress Dowager was too concerned about the baby in her belly to care about him at all.

Later, it was diagnosed that the baby was a girl, and the Empress Dowager also discovered the evil deeds of these servants, but it was difficult to mend the broken mirror. The Fourth Prince still had doubts in his mind from time to time, was it really true that the Empress Dowager didn't know what those palace servants were doing?

But the Fourth Prince had no ill feelings towards his younger sister, the Eighth Princess. She loved to laugh and would peek in to see what was going on. The Fourth Prince had seen her from a distance outside the door and thought she was very cute.

Now that he had a daughter, he suddenly understood the pain of the Empress Dowager. This child was warm and could move her hands and feet. Why couldn't she be allowed to live?

The Fourth Prince felt a deep pain in his heart just thinking about this possibility, so he became even more angry about Song Gege's premature birth. He asked Su Peisheng: "Why did Song Gege suddenly give birth prematurely? What can be found out in more than a day?"

Su Peisheng acted quickly. He knew the whole story clearly. He could only complain bitterly in his heart. This Song Gege was too arrogant. She was in trouble! But he still replied respectfully: "My Lord, that day Song Gege said that the little princess in her belly wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she took a group of palace maids to stroll in the small garden. But she met two palace maids who were talking about the concubine entering the mansion. Song Gege was stimulated, and the servants around her were inexperienced, so she delayed a lot of time."

The Fourth Prince frowned unhappily. What do you mean the child wants to go out for some fresh air?

Su Peisheng sympathized with the palace servants of Lian Fei Pavilion for serving such a master, and explained, "That day the palace servants wanted to persuade Song Gege, but Song Gege just said that she was depressed, and said that the prince in her belly wanted to go out, so how could the palace servants dare to stop her?"

Bang! The Fourth Prince slammed the Eighteenth Bead in his hand onto the table. He knew that Song was a little arrogant behind his back, but she was always respectful in front of him, so she had no restraint. But now she had damaged the child's health. How hateful!

But the culprit had not been found yet, so the Fourth Prince asked, "Have you found the two palace maids?"

Su Peisheng said awkwardly: "The scene was too chaotic at the time, and everyone was paying attention to Song Gege. When we remembered to look for them, the two palace maids were gone. But the patrolling guards said that they didn't see any palace maids entering or leaving the prince's residence."

The Fourth Prince knew that it was not easy for Su Peisheng to find out this far. There were too many people in the palace who could make decisions. In order not to alert the higher-ups, it was impossible to conduct a large-scale search. But if it didn't come out of the Prince's place, then it must be an internal traitor. There were only a few people in the backyard, could it be Yue Bin?

The Fourth Prince was no longer interested in looking at the Little Princess. He said, "Give her the silver as per custom! As for the Big Princess, call her that for now, so as to avoid the gods and Buddhas noticing if you give her a name!"

The Fourth Prince was worried that the little princess could not bear the blessing, so he did not dare to give her a name. He even copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures to pray for the gods and Buddha's blessings. Finally, he ran to Yongshou Palace and asked Concubine De for advice on how to raise a child, which made Concubine De very flattered.

Seeing that her eldest son was willing to be close to her, Concubine De also remembered how difficult it was to raise the fifth princess at that time, and gave a lot of suggestions. The Fourth Prince took a pen and paper to record them, wanting to go back and try them out. How could Concubine De not pay attention to such a big thing happening in the Fourth Prince's mansion? She had been in the palace for many years and held the power of the palace. She could find out much more than Su Peisheng.

So she asked Zhuxi to give the Fourth Prince a piece of paper, which stated the cause and effect of the incident, and it was Qi Yuebin who was responsible.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to send the two palace maids to the harem and divert the fight in the Fourth Prince's mansion into a harem dispute, but Defei was too shrewd. She didn't know what had happened to the Fourth Prince, but she mobilized the guards to patrol and recorded every person entering and leaving.

Seeing that the investigation was so strict and hoping for the best, Qi Yuebin wanted to wait until things calmed down before making any plans. However, she considered the Fourth Prince but not Concubine De, and she was ultimately one step behind.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince had a gloomy face, Concubine De asked, "Does Yinzhen want to punish Qi?"

The fourth prince replied angrily: "How can such an evil woman be allowed to stay in the backyard and do evil?"

Concubine De said sternly, "What about the Qi family? The Qi family has fallen into decline, but where else did you get help in the previous dynasty? The Ulanara family hasn't married into the family yet, and they don't have any offspring to use as bargaining chips. Why would they get on board your ship? The Guarjia family belongs to the prince, so forget it!"

The former dynasty and the harem are inseparable. The Fourth Prince knows that Concubine De is advising him to be patient. What else can he do now?
