Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 70: The Estrangement Plan
Liu Youyou led the people back to Xiliyuan and asked about the identities of the two people. One of them, wearing a light rose-red cheongsam, spoke first in a delicate voice: "I am Li Jingyan, your servant, and your father is Li Wenhui, a bannerman of the Bordered White Banner."
The other one was more heroic and calm, and did not compete with Li Jingyan. He spoke in a low-key manner: "Your servant Wu Ruoying, your father is Wu Zhuguo of the Bordered Yellow Banner."
Liu Youyou raised an eyebrow with interest, "But it was Wu Zhuguo that the emperor wrote a poem to praise during his southern tour in the eleventh year?"
Wu Ruoying replied: "It is your Majesty's grace that has been bestowed upon me."
Liu Youyou and Wu Ruoying were not in a hurry to answer this question, but Li Jingyan next to them pouted a little unhappy. Isn't it just that Ama is capable? What is there to show off? She is not as good-looking as me. The Fourth Prince will definitely not like her.
Li Jingyan is a simple person and all her emotions are shown on her face. Liu Youyou and Wu Ruoying clearly felt the changes in Li Jingyan's emotions and could even roughly guess what she was thinking.
Liu Youyou knew that Concubine Qi had just this kind of personality and it wasn't surprising at all.
Wu Ruoying was very surprised. If she was so naive, wouldn't she be eaten alive by the women in the backyard?
Attacked by Li Jingyan's facial expression, Liu Youyou didn't want to be polite with them anymore. She arranged directly: "Since you were arranged by my mother to enter the mansion, you will all be given the position of princess. Princess Wu will live next to Princess Song in Lianfei Pavilion, and Princess Li will live next to Princess Qi in Wangshu Pavilion."
Liu Youyou didn't make this arrangement casually. Wu Gege doesn't seem to be aggressive, but a barking dog doesn't bite. Who knows what kind of personality she has?
Although Song Gege stayed in Lian Fei Pavilion and did not move around, she remembered the favor of Liu Youyou for breaking into Yiran Courtyard, so she would naturally help Liu Youyou keep an eye on Wu Gege's movements.
In short, we must never push people whose stance is unclear to be won over by others.
As for Li Jingyan, she has no brains and all her actions are done on a whim or at the instigation of others.
If Qi Yuebin wants to form an alliance with Li Jingyan, she is miscalculating. A teammate like Li Jingyan is not something she can control. If you support someone as stupid and ignorant as Li Jingyan, you must be prepared to be stabbed in the back repeatedly.
Liu Youyou didn't want to keep the two of them any longer, as she still had a plan to sow discord between them! She politely sent them away: "You two sisters have just arrived, and I'm afraid there are many places to get familiar with! I won't keep you any longer, just send someone to tell me if you need anything."
Li Jingyan obviously took the polite words seriously and thanked him with a smile on his face.
Wu Ruoying was speechless again by Li Jingyan, and followed his example and thanked him respectfully.
After seeing off the two newly promoted princesses, Liu Youyou hurriedly asked Huichun to put on makeup for her. She didn't want her to look better, but to make her look like she was in great pain but trying hard to cover it up, while at the same time not affecting her beauty.
The requirements were complicated, but Huichun was an expert in this and she skillfully achieved the effect that Liu Youyou wanted.
After everything was ready, Liu Youyou sent Jianqiu to tell the Fourth Prince that there were new people in the mansion, and asked Jianqiu to focus on introducing the origins of the two princesses.
Jianqiu followed Liu Youyou to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects and stood there for a long time. She was born a slave and was used to hardship, so these tortures were not painful to her. However, although her family's princess had not been valued since childhood, she had never been treated like this. The lady-in-law never punished her corporally, but only found fault with the rules.
Jianqiu selectively forgot that Huichun had just lied to Liu Youyou, and only felt sorry for Liu Youyou. He walked quickly to the front yard, and of course, Su Peisheng came to greet him personally. The Fourth Prince and Yixiu had a good relationship these days, and Su Peisheng thought Jianqiu was here to invite the Fourth Prince to have dinner.
But Jianqiu came closer, and Su Peisheng saw the anger and melancholy on Jianqiu's face. He went to greet her, "Miss Jianqiu, is it the concubine who came to ask for me? Why do you look unhappy?"
Jianqiu tried her best to restrain her expression, but her words still carried an unhappy explanation; "Today, Concubine De came to pay her respects to Empress Defei. Empress Defei was worried that you had too few children, so she bestowed two princesses. Concubine De asked me to tell you!"
Who is Su Peisheng? He is a smart guy! Jianqiu seemed to be talking about the two princesses. It was hard to tell what Su Peisheng was talking about. Concubine must have been wronged and had to hold back tears to bring the person back. So he comforted her: "This matter of the master must be in accordance with the master's wishes. How can you force it? Miss Jianqiu, wait a moment. I am afraid that the master also has something to tell Concubine!"
After saying that, Su Peisheng went to the study to report to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince heard some noise outside, looked at the sky, and thought that Yixiu was here to urge him to come over for dinner! He straightened his collar and sleeves, waiting for Su Peisheng to come and deliver the message. But after waiting for a long time, Su Peisheng did not come in, and he complained in his heart, why is this servant dawdling?
Just as he was thinking, Su Peisheng came in. The Fourth Prince was about to blurt out, "Xiaoyi is here to urge me, I'll go right away." But when he saw Su Peisheng's face, the Fourth Prince had a bad feeling.
Su Peisheng reported to the Fourth Prince in embarrassment: "Master! Concubine Consort sent someone to tell me that Concubine De sent two princesses here and they have already settled down."
Usually, when a new bride enters the palace, the Fourth Prince will visit her for a few days to show his favor.
But now the Fourth Prince and Yixiu have the blessing of comradeship, and he has a problem with Concubine De, so naturally he is unwilling to favor the two spies sent by Concubine De. He frowned and said, "They can stay, but do I have to clean up the room for them myself?"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was pretending to be ignorant, Su Peisheng dared not remind him and begged for mercy, "I have lost my mind, please punish me, sir."
The Fourth Prince didn't care about Su Peisheng. He walked out of the study and asked Jianqiu who was waiting outside: "How is your concubine?"
Jianqiu began to show her acting skills. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Everything is fine, Concubine."
The Fourth Prince could tell at a glance that Jianqiu was hiding something, and was about to walk towards Xili Courtyard.
Jianqiu was even more flustered and wanted to stop the Fourth Prince, "Master, the concubine has gone to bed early today."
The Fourth Prince knew that something was fishy, so he walked as fast as he could to Xili Courtyard. The old woman guarding the gate did not dare to stop him, so the Fourth Prince went all the way to Yixiu's bedroom without any obstruction.
Yizheng was looking at the pomegranate flowers blooming outside the window. They were planted by the Fourth Prince when she first entered the mansion. She heard the noise and said without turning her head, "Jianqiu, tell me, did you go to Wu Gege or Li Gege?"
The fourth prince replied: "My master has come to Xiliyuan."
Hearing the Fourth Prince's voice, Yixiu turned back in disbelief, "Master?"
The Fourth Prince looked at Yixiu and felt that she was not in good condition. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Why is it so cold?" It was already May, and even if the temperature dropped at night, it couldn't be so cold.
Yixiu took back her hand and said hesitantly, "I like the cool air, so I'm naturally a little cold by the window."
The Fourth Prince didn't believe it and asked Jianqiu sternly, "How did your concubine catch a cold? If you don't tell the truth, you don't have to serve in the mansion. Go back to the Ulanara family!"
The servants knelt on the ground, and Jianqiu took the lead to answer: "Today, the concubine went to Yonghe Palace to pay respects. The Empress Defei got up late, and the concubine was blown by the cold wind in the yard."
Yixiu rebuked Jianqiu: "What nonsense! It is a blessing for the younger generation that mother can sleep more. How can there be a cold wind?"
Then she hurriedly said to the Fourth Prince: "I really just want to be cool..."
The Fourth Prince knew that Yixiu wanted to maintain the image of Concubine De in his heart, but he thought in great pain, "Mother, you who love your son don't want me to be hurt, but what about you? You vented your anger on Xiaoyi without any scruples. Have you ever thought that this is the person your son loves?"
