Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince was in trouble with the Fourteenth Prince, so he broke into the Fourth Prince's house. The two brothers punched and kicked each other and rolled into a ball.

Although the Fourteenth Prince was young, he was born with supernatural power, and was blinded by anger, so he attacked quickly and hard without any scruples. The Fourth Prince felt guilty, and because he was older, he just wanted to passively defend himself, but the Fourteenth Prince made him angry, and gradually he could not control his strength.

The servants were very anxious and wanted to step forward to separate them, but the two masters were fighting so fiercely that anyone who stepped forward to stop them was beaten.

A fight among princes was no small matter, not to mention that Kangxi had always maintained control over the harem, so he immediately ordered Liang Jiugong to bring the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince to the Qianqing Palace, but instead of seeing them, he punished them by making them kneel down and reflect on their mistakes.

Defei, who had also received the news, hurried to the Qianqing Palace. Seeing the Fourteenth Prince sweating all over under the scorching sun, she was so distressed that she almost fainted. She glared at the trouble-making Fourth Prince from a distance and was invited into the west hall.

As soon as Concubine De saw Kangxi, she knelt down and apologized, "It's all because of me who failed to teach the children well. If the emperor wants to punish me, please punish me. It's scorching hot outside, how can the brothers bear it!"

Kangxi wanted to vent his anger on Concubine De for not being able to treat the two children equally. This time, the fourth child was certainly more radical, but as the biological mother, Concubine De was not at fault for not making amends for the fourth child.

But as soon as Concubine De entered the palace, she said she would be punished on behalf of the prince, and even mentioned teaching him a lesson, which made Kangxi feel a little embarrassed. Why didn't he dissuade and teach him in time? Wasn't it because the Fourth Prince had been raised by Empress Xiaoyiren since he was a child?

Defei raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "Which one of Yinzhen and Yinzhi is not the flesh and blood of my heart? You want me to watch them being punished, aren't you tearing my heart out?"

Concubine De had a pair of eyes that could speak, otherwise Kangxi would not have favored her. Although it was recommended by her cousin, whether to eat the meat still depended on Kangxi's mood. So Concubine De was able to climb all the way to the position of concubine, naturally she had her unique charm.

There was a misty look in Concubine De's eyes, which didn't look like she grew up in the capital. Kangxi couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw her. He sighed and helped Concubine De up, "What are you doing? Aren't they my children? Don't I feel bad for them kneeling outside?"

In the past, when the Ninth and Tenth Princes got into trouble, Concubine Yi was the first to make a scene and cry. Concubine Niuhulu would hold her two children in her arms and cry, which only made Kangxi so angry that he said, "A loving mother has ruined her children! A loving mother has ruined her children!"

Although Defei also cried, she did not cry as directly as Yifei, nor did she remain silent like Guifei. Instead, she was slightly sad, which neither made Kangxi angry nor made him back off. She knew how to strike a good balance.

De Fei choked up and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect that such a pest would appear in the Uya family, and I let Yinzhen deal with it himself, causing others to laugh at me."

Since this matter has caught the attention of Kangxi, there is no way to avoid it. He can only take all the blame and clear the relationship between the corrupt person and everyone in the Uya family, so as to avoid being liquidated by Kangxi.

Kangxi also sent people to investigate roughly. The small mansion of the Fourth Prince was really full of hidden talents. They either took money directly from the warehouse or made money from the joints. The various explanations and techniques really opened Kangxi's eyes. He even became worried. If a mansion of a prince could make tens of thousands of taels of money, how much corruption must there be in the harem that he didn't know about.

Kangxi was well aware of human nature and knew that such things could not be stopped, so he turned a blind eye and gave his subordinates the opportunity to reap the benefits. This was Kangxi's kindness, but it was not a reason for his servants to treat him like a fool.

It's just that the fourth son didn't handle this matter well, and rumors spread all over the city. It was already a good thing to say that he was disrespectful to his biological mother. Liang Jiugong didn't dare to say the bad words to Kangxi. In the end, he was too young and impatient, so he should temper himself for a few years!

Kangxi's deep affection for Concubine De was accompanied by scrutiny. He calmly analyzed Concubine De's every word and action. Was this woman really unaware of the Uya family's affairs? It was not difficult for Kangxi to know that Concubine De and the Fourth Prince had parted unhappily that day. There was only what he did not want to know, and nothing he could not know.

Kangxi seemed to be moved by Defei's words, but had no choice but to let Liang Jiugong pass on the imperial decree, asking the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince to kneel for another two hours before they could go back. However, they could not escape the punishment of being alive. The two had to copy the "Book of Rites: Li Yun" a thousand times, and write ten articles on "What is a benevolent ruler, a loyal minister, a kind father, a filial son, and a friendly brother and a respectful younger brother". These were all reviewed by Kangxi himself.

Two hours later, the Fourth Prince was supported by Su Peisheng back to the mansion. Liu Youyou had been waiting at the door and went forward to support the Fourth Prince from the other side.

He lifted up his outer robe, and the trousers underneath were stuck to the blood on his knees. The imperial physician quickly pulled the trousers off, but even though he was quick, the Fourth Prince still broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

The imperial physician made another diagnosis, prepared the medicine powder, demonstrated how to administer the medicine for the first time, and wrote a medical order. He did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Yixiu wiped the sweat off the Fourth Prince's face with a handkerchief, then picked up a bowl of ginseng and black chicken soup and fed it to him. The Fourth Prince was in pain and hungry, so he drank three bowls in a row before stopping and eating another bowl of chicken noodle soup before he was done.

Only then did he have time to wash and change clothes. Yixiu did it herself and put the Fourth Prince comfortably in bed.

Seeing Yixiu busying around and looking exhausted, the Fourth Prince held Yixiu's hand distressedly and said, "Little Yi, take a rest too!"

Yixiu followed his force and sat down on the bedside, unable to hold back her tears any longer. "How could Fourteenth Prince do this? I just saw several bruises on your body. How could he, as a younger brother, lay hands on his elder brother?"

Of course, the Fourth Prince was not feeling well either, and he even laughed at himself in his heart, wondering how could the Fourteenth Prince ever consider him as a brother? But he still calmly comforted Yixiu: "Why don't you call me Fourteenth Brother anymore?"

As a concubine, Yixiu had no seniority with the princes, but Defei was her aunt, and the Fourteenth Prince preferred this pretty sister-in-law, so Yixiu was allowed to call her by her name as an exception. However, she was only allowed to call her by her name inside the Yonghe Palace, and she had to follow the rules outside. Therefore, for Yixiu, this was a family "honor".

Yixiu angrily broke free from the Fourth Prince's hand, "He treats you so well, do you still want me to get close to him?"

The Fourth Prince's wounded heart was healed by Yixiu's words. Even if his mother favored Fourteenth Prince, there would always be someone willing to stand by his side. He held Yixiu's hand again and placed it on his chest, and with his other hand he put his arm around Yixiu's waist.

Yixiu leaned on his shoulder, tears falling one by one, and said with regret: "If I hadn't counted those accounts, this wouldn't have happened."

The Fourth Prince consoled him, "Can we just let those parasites do whatever they want? What did Xiaoyi do wrong? It is because Xiaoyi is sincere to me that I will try my best to do things. If the mistakes are found, they will be theirs, not Xiaoyi's."

Yixiu couldn't help but worry: "But as for my mother, this really hurt her reputation."

When the De Fei was mentioned, the Fourth Prince could not remain calm and could only hug Yi Xiu tightly, "If Mother can't tell right from wrong, there is nothing I can do."

"Silang..." Yixiu hugged the Fourth Prince tightly back.

The two of them fell asleep snuggling up to each other.
