Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 50 Life is like a drama, it all depends on acting skills

Su Peisheng presented the box to the Fourth Prince and continued to serve him as usual.

The Fourth Prince who received the box felt that Yixiu had lived up to his deep affection. He stroked the seal that Silang had opened himself. The short four words concealed the tenderness and love that Yixiu was reluctant to express to him. Recalling Su Peisheng's description of Yixiu's cherishment of his gift, he did not tear off the seal directly, but followed Yixiu's example and tore it off completely for easy preservation.

When the box was opened, a fragrance wafted in his face, fresh with the smell of unripe peaches. The fourth prince checked the contents of the box and found a purse inside. He thought the fragrance just now came from the purse. There was a note on the purse. The fourth prince took it in his hand and read it carefully. It said, "You are like a rock, and I am like a rush."

This is Yixiu's response to the Fourth Prince. I understand your difficulties. You look forward to listening to the rain and cutting the candle with me and recalling the sweet past. My response to you is that as long as the rock is immovable and the cattail is as tough as silk. As long as you can remember our feelings and don't change, I will always protect our love and it will not change.

After reading the note, the Fourth Prince felt that Yixiu was not like an ordinary woman. She understood poetry and songs, could understand him, and could resonate with him. He thought that he and Yixiu were really a match made in heaven. Thinking this way, he felt more guilty towards Yixiu. After thinking it over, the Fourth Prince thought of a way to give Yixiu a sense of security. He just had to wait until tomorrow when everyone greeted each other to give Yixiu a surprise!

The Fourth Prince had a way to compensate Yixiu, so he continued to look at the purse. The purse was embroidered with lychees that were bent over. The red fruits were very lifelike, and paired with the elegant embroidery, it was truly a fine product.

Su Peisheng explained: "This purse was made for you by Concubine these days. It contains spices mainly made from Ficus pumila fruit, which can relieve fatigue. It is obvious that Concubine pity you!"

The fourth prince said helplessly, "I have been seeing Xiaoyi day and night these days. I wonder how she found the time to embroider the purse. Isn't she afraid of hurting her eyes?"

Su Peisheng complimented, "Concubine, this is what you really care about! She cares about you every moment you walk or sit!"

The flattery was just right. The Fourth Prince laughed heartily and instructed Su Peisheng, "Ask Imperial Doctor Yan to take a look at the spice. If there's no problem, hang it by the bed!" It's not that the Fourth Prince didn't trust Yi Xiu, but spices were sensitive things, so he had to check them before he could be at ease.

Su Peisheng understood the procedure, so he naturally responded and asked his eunuch to find Doctor Yan. The Fourth Prince was very anxious here, so things had to be done quickly!

Liu Youyou had no control over what the Fourth Prince did, nor did she care whether he should find someone else to check. Her role as a qualified love-brained person was already half successful, and she just had to act a little uncomfortable tonight!

She hadn't expected that the Fourth Prince would give her a chance to act, but she was satisfied with her ability to respond to situations, and was glad that she had prepared a bunch of suitable purses early on, which she could use as long as she filled them with spices. Didn't they come in handy today?

Thinking of this, Liu Youyou forgot about her resentment about not having a full breakfast. She asked everyone to wait outside and started walking around the room. She had been busy dealing with the Fourth Prince for the past three days and had not taken a close look at her room. If nothing unexpected happened in this courtyard, she would live there until the 44th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. She had to plan well!

Liu Youyou was happily sketching in her mind, thinking about how she could carry out the major transformation. When she became interested, she went to the desk and began to draw the design with a pen. It was a pity that now that they lived in the palace, everyone’s space was limited, leaving Liu Youyou with much less room to play. However, as long as she could have some fun, Liu Youyou would not be picky.

After designing for a while, Liu Youyou looked at the sky and realized it was time for lunch, so she packed up her things and burned the draft in the brazier. After making sure there was no visible damage, she called Jianqiu in to clean it up.

As soon as Jianqiu entered the room, she smelled the smell of burning paper, saw the ashes in the brazier, and saw the melancholy on Yixiu's face. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The princesses in the mansion were all rational, but when they saw the Fourth Prince, they buried themselves in love. A man can still get rid of his love, but a woman can't get rid of her love. The Fourth Prince is bound to make Yixiu sad. But as a slave, Jianqiu could only persuade Yixiu not to hurt her body. How could she dare to ask Yixiu not to indulge in the love with the Fourth Prince?

Liu Youyou looked at the complex emotions on Jianqiu's face and almost couldn't help laughing. It was just like seeing a love-brained person who was destined to suffer a loss. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that there would be a pit ahead, but the love-brained person was blinded and was about to step into the pit.

But Liu Youyou has her own professional ethics. She said absentmindedly, "Jianqiu, make the bed! I'll go take a rest."

Jianqiu asked the maid to clean up the brazier, and then went to make the bed for Liu Youyou. After she fell asleep, Liu Youyou still looked thoughtful. When Jianqiu lowered the curtains and Liu Youyou faced the inside, she let go of her expression. She was so tired! In order to show how deeply she loved him, she got up early in the morning to dress the Fourth Prince in court clothes. She didn't even take a nap. She hadn't had a full breakfast yet, and she had another conversation with the Fourth Prince. How could she not be tired?

Liu Youyou was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and take a break! She set a time with the system's built-in alarm clock. Today's performance wasn't over yet! She had to pretend she couldn't sleep.

Liu Youyou closed her eyes and opened them again and again, feeling as if she had fainted while sleeping. She could only be thankful that her etiquette training over the past decade had not been in vain, as she would not fall into a deep sleep and make any noise, otherwise her image as a fairy would have collapsed.

He simply tidied up his appearance with his hands, and waited until he was completely awake and no longer sleepy, then called someone in. When Jianqiu came in, he saw that Liu Youyou looked so energetic, and thought that she had not slept much.

Liu Youyou leaned against the bed and asked Jianqiu: "What time is it now?"

Jianqiu replied: "It's three quarters past midnight, it's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer!"

Liu Youyou sighed to herself, "It's only been a while? I thought I could sleep through the whole day! Do you think that the Guaerjia concubine should also dress up?"

Jianqiu didn’t know how to respond, so she could only silently help Liu Youyou wash and dress.

Liu Youyou looked at her face in the mirror and complained again: "Does the Guaerjia concubine also dress up in front of the mirror like me?"

Huichun, who was combing Liu Youyou's hair, could hardly hold back her facial expression. Liu Youyou was afraid that Huichun and Jianqiu would not be able to hold back and would say something unpleasant, so she stopped while she was ahead and stopped feeling sad.

Liu Youyou acted like she was shutting herself up in her own room and asked no one to disturb her. She locked herself in her room and designed her future residence. She didn't leave the study until Jianqiu reminded her that it was time for dinner. She was crying in her heart again. My braised shark's fin, roasted deer tendons, cherry meat...

Not being able to eat to her heart's content, Liu Youyou showed a natural resentment on her face. She asked Jianqiu to take out the dragon and phoenix candles that the Fourth Prince had sent her in the morning to admire. Until the deafening sound of firecrackers came from outside, it was the Guarjia family entering the mansion. Liu Youyou ordered, "It's getting dark, get ready to rest!"

The palace maids who were serving her knew that the concubine was in a bad mood at that time, so they were even more cautious in their actions, fearing that they would become the scapegoat for her anger.
