Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 48 Qi Yuebin and Performance
There were only a few people in the backyard, and Song Gege went to see Liu Youyou with great fanfare. She had no intention of hiding from others, and even wanted everyone to know that she had taken refuge with the concubine. Naturally, the well-informed Wangshu Pavilion also received the news.
Jixiang reported the matter to Qi Yuebin and said anxiously, "Gege, should we also go visit the concubine? This Song Gege has always been at odds with you, and now that she has the support of the Xiliyuan person, won't she be able to bully us?"
Qi Yuebin evaded the point and said, "Song Gege left Xiliyuan without any sign of dejection or anxiety. Instead, she looked very proud and satisfied. It is obvious that she got the approval of Concubine Concubine. Even if I approach her now, I am afraid that I will be an imitator and will not be able to gain Concubine Concubine's trust."
Jixiang looked anxious and worried and said, "Then won't we have to endure Song Gege?"
Qi Yuebin comforted Jixiang: "Now that the concubine of Guaerjia hasn't entered the palace yet, that person is anxious to recruit soldiers and horses. This behavior will definitely anger Guaerjia. She entered the palace three days late, and I don't know how much resentment she has accumulated in her heart. Moreover, the outside world has sent news that this person is not a good-tempered person. I'm afraid that this palace is going to be lively!"
Jixiang was persuaded by Qi Yuebin that while the two concubines were fighting each other, maybe they could take advantage of the situation and win the favor of the Fourth Prince. After all, the Fourth Prince always valued rules and would certainly not stand the jealousy between the two concubines.
In fact, Qi Yuebin's real thought was jealousy. She had been unwilling to accept it since the tea ceremony that day. She was jealous that Ulanara Yixiu could marry into the Fourth Prince's mansion with a rich dowry as a concubine. She could have comforted herself that no matter how good her family background was, she could only be a concubine. However, in the past three days, the Fourth Prince's undisguised preference and the generous rewards from Concubine De made Qi Yuebin unable to deceive herself.
This feeling was even more unbearable for Qi Yuebin than the favor Song Gege had received in the past two years. When Song Gege was favored, Qi Yuebin could still express disdain, thinking that this palace maid was of humble origin and only knew how to seduce the master with her charms. How could he learn to behave like her?
But Yixiu's favor is different. The reason she can get the favor of the Fourth Prince is either to win over the Ulanara family, or Yixiu really makes the Fourth Prince love her. Both of these reasons are unacceptable to Qi Yuebin. Should she admit that the Qi family is not as good as the Ulanara family, so there is no way for the Fourth Prince to come to Wangshu Pavilion with a pinch of nose, or should she admit that her appearance, manners, charm and talent are not as good as Yixiu, so she cannot attract the Fourth Prince?
Whenever these two thoughts came to Qi Yuebin's mind, she couldn't control herself and wanted to go crazy. Even today, when she heard Jixiang say that Yixiu accepted Song Gege's surrender, Qi Yuebin was full of gloating. So you are also uneasy? Are you also afraid that your favor will be divided by the new Guaerjia concubine?
Qi Yuebin put aside these personal emotions and knew that unless the concubine of Guaerjia had some special qualities, it would be impossible for her to be more favored than Yixiu. After all, the strength of her family in the backyard was her confidence. But as a keen observer, how could she not notice the Fourth Prince's affection for Yixiu?
She could accept that the Fourth Prince, for power, used the women in the backyard to win over the forces of the previous dynasty, but she could not accept that the Fourth Prince had love for a woman, even if that love was very small.
Qi Yuebin grew up with Concubine De, so of course she understands the Fourth Prince's temperament. On the surface, he appears to be as cold as an iceberg and does not respond to any persuasion, but he has his own emotional inclinations in his heart and will not change what he has decided on. Concubine De's comment that the Fourth Prince is as stubborn as a donkey is absolutely correct.
However, this understanding was of no use. Qi Yuebin was identified by the Fourth Prince as Defei's man. Even in order to win over the Qi family, the Fourth Prince was not willing to come to Wangshu Pavilion. He felt that Qi Yuebin would convey his every word and action to Defei. The mother and son, who were not close to begin with, were not willing to suffer this. Therefore, the Fourth Prince seldom came to Qi Yuebin.
But Qi Yuebin did reach a deal with Concubine De, but it was just an exchange of interests. How could there be any relationship like mother and daughter?
Qi Yuebin's heart was tied to the Fourth Prince, so naturally she would not reveal the Fourth Prince's thoughts to Concubine De. Seeing that Qi Yuebin was not under her control, Concubine De naturally did not want to treat Qi Yuebin well. Now, she was in a difficult position.
But Qi Yuebin kept her infatuation and wanted the Fourth Prince to see it. Whether the Fourth Prince saw it or not was unknown, and Qi Yuebin was moved by herself and was heartbroken for a long time because the Fourth Prince turned a blind eye to it.
But for Liu Youyou, who has the memory of Yixiu, she hopes that Guaerjia can snatch the Fourth Prince away. After all, the Fourth Prince's affectionate words really tempted Liu Youyou. In order to cooperate with him, Liu Youyou even lost her appetite in the past three days. As for Song Gege, it would not affect the fact that she would withdraw from the battle earlier or later. One more Song Gege would not make a difference, and one less Song Gege would not make a difference.
Liu Youyou now has to act out a hurt woman who has just started to fall in love, but has to face the fact that her beloved is going to marry someone else. She felt a little restless and felt quite guilty about her before the Fourth Prince left in the morning. This reminded Liu Youyou that in order to show that she is deeply in love, she must show her acting skills today.
So, after Song Gege left, it was time for breakfast. Three days of being the only favorite had established Liu Youyou's status in the mansion. Naturally, the people in the kitchen were fawning on her, and the dishes served were freshly baked and steaming hot. The various breakfasts were colorful, fragrant and delicious. In order to make it easier for the masters to eat, they were all in bite-sized portions, so that Liu Youyou could taste several kinds of breakfast.
In order to create a good character, Liu Youyou and the Fourth Prince did not dare to eat too much during the past few days. But today, the Fourth Prince did not come to eat, so Liu Youyou could not eat to her heart's content, and she had to pretend that she could not swallow the food.
Liu Youyou chewed each bite slowly, trying her best to savor every flavor. The soup dumplings were really flavorful, with the sweetness of crab mixed with the delicate pork stuffing. It was so mouth-watering that one wanted to move on to the next one. However, for the sake of her character, Liu Youyou could only distort her facial expression to let Jianqiu take the next dish.
The next dish is glutinous rice and osmanthus cake. The chef who makes the glutinous rice cake is very experienced. The cake he makes is soft and elastic yet chewy, and paired with the faint fragrance of osmanthus, one bite is really not enough!
Liu Youyou ate a few staple dishes, estimated the amount, and reluctantly put down her chopsticks. She pretended to have no appetite and said to Jianqiu, "I really can't eat much. You can share the rest!"
Liu Youyou in my heart was reluctant to say, goodbye, my rock sugar bird's nest porridge, tofu buns...
But in the eyes of all the servants, their princess is really deeply in love with the Fourth Prince. She has been distracted since she woke up this morning and has to deal with Princess Song. She even thinks of the Fourth Prince when she eats and can't even eat.
Jianqiu said to Liu Youyou worriedly: "Fujin, the Fourth Master is a prince after all. It is impossible for him to live alone. You should be more at ease!"
Liu Youyou heard Jianqiu, who knew her best, say this, and knew that her actions had worked. She suppressed her joy, recalled her reluctance to leave breakfast, and said to Jianqiu: "I know I shouldn't have any delusions, but this day has really come, and I still can't accept it. You don't have to comfort me, after today, I will be able to figure it out!"
The sadness in her tone made everyone who heard it feel heartbroken.
