Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

What Defei said was absolutely right. A fierce quarrel broke out in the Yanxi Palace because of this incident.

Concubine Yi was shaking with anger, and the noble lady Guo Luoluo next to her was no less angry. The sisters snuggled together, and opposite them was the Fourth Princess.

Concubine Yi said with tears in her eyes: "Galudai, tell your aunt, what do you think?"

The fourth princess didn't dare to look at the tears of Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo, but she was unwilling to give up her idea. "Aunt, mother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but even if Jiang Chen is a good candidate, I don't want to stay in the capital and be an eagle with clipped wings."

Noblewoman Guo Luoluo spoke even more sadly: "Then can you bear to abandon me and your aunt and go to the grassland? We won't see each other for decades, mother and daughter will be separated, how can you bear to do that?"

The fourth princess supported Consort Guo Luoluo and said, "Mother, I am unfilial, but the Emperor will never let me stay in the capital."

Concubine Yi said impatiently, "We haven't even tried it yet, how do we know it won't work?"

The fourth princess calmly analyzed: "Fifth sister was raised by the Royal Madam. Now the Royal Madam is old, and the Royal Father will not let Fifth sister marry far away due to filial piety. Then I will definitely not be able to stay in the capital."

Guo Luoluogui could not bear such heart-wrenching words, and fell back on the chair, "The Fifth Princess is the Queen Mother's granddaughter, so you are not?"

Concubine Yi was calmer than her sister and quickly covered her mouth. "Sister, if you want Galudai to live a good life in the future, you must not say such treasonous words."

But Lady Guo Luoluo shook her hand away and said, "I only have this one daughter in my life. If she goes to Mongolia, she will have a good life. I have nothing to be afraid of."

The fourth princess was even more upset when she saw that Concubine Guo Luoluo didn't care, "Mother..."

Concubine Yi was also grief-stricken, "If the Empress Dowager had raised you, you wouldn't be in such a passive position today."

Seeing her sister blaming herself like this, Lady Guo Luoluo pulled herself together to comfort her, "Back then, we two sisters were pregnant one after the other. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that we were just waiting to give birth to a son to the Queen Mother to raise. She raised Yinqi, so she wouldn't raise another one. And if Galudai wasn't around, how would we have gotten through this?"

Noble Lady Guo Luoluo was Concubine Yi's elder sister. She returned to her parents' home as a widow. Concubine Yi had been favored for many years but had never been pregnant, so Noble Lady Guo Luoluo's family sent Noble Lady Guo Luoluo into the palace, thinking that the two sisters would eventually have a child.

Less than a year after entering the palace, both sisters were pregnant. They thought that they would have a son who would help Concubine Yi gain a firm foothold, but children were both their success and their failure.

This matter started with Shunzhi's generation. Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang were not on good terms with each other.

As the Empress Dowager from the Mongolian forces, she was rejected by Shunzhi as soon as she entered the palace. She had to guard the central palace alone, not to mention having children, so Xiaozhuang felt guilty about her. She was the daughter of her own brother and her closest blood relative, but for the honor of Khorchin, she had to die in the harem.

If the empress dowager was as strong-willed as Shunzhi's deposed empress (Concubine Jing), Xiaozhuang might not have cared so much. However, the empress dowager did not understand Manchu or Chinese, and only followed her aunt. No matter how Shunzhi insulted her, for the sake of Khorchin, she was like a piece of wood, and did not respond or argue.

How could Xiaozhuang not feel pain? She was old, but the empress dowager was still young. Did she still have to guard the cold palace alone after becoming the empress dowager? And Khorchin needed a prince who was inclined towards Mongolia.

As for the children in the palace, the eldest prince was sent out to be raised by Concubine Hui because she saw that the children in the palace could not grow up; the crown prince was raised by Kangxi himself;

The third prince was the only prince left by Rong Fei, and she originally had a child given to the Empress Dowager to raise. The Empress Dowager personally named him Saiyin Chahun, which means strong, but the child was still lost. It was neither emotional nor reasonable for Kangxi to deprive Rong Fei of her child.

The Fourth Prince was destined for Concubine Tong in his mother's womb.

So when Concubine Yi was diagnosed with being pregnant with a prince, the two empresses dowagers, who had not been in the palace for a long time, gave her a valuable gift for the first time.

When Concubine Yi received the gift, she felt like she was in the cold winter. She was a straightforward person, but not a stupid person. The only thing that could make the two Empress Dowagers take action was the child in her belly.

So the Fifth Prince was taken to the Empress Dowager as soon as he was born, and the Guo Luoluo sisters took care of the Fourth Princess. The Fourth Princess gave some comfort to Concubine Yi who was on the verge of collapse, and helped her get through those difficult years.

The hatred in Concubine Yi's heart is no less than that of Noble Lady Guo Luoluo. You snatched Yinqi away from me back then, and now my daughter has to make way for the princess you raised. How unfair!

The fourth princess hugged her two mothers tightly. It was not her ambition to stay in the capital, but was it her wish to be separated from her mother? The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Concubine Yi had experienced more storms, so she was the first to wipe away her tears and said firmly: "Even if it doesn't work, I will try it!"

Now Kangxi likes the young and beautiful Shufei. Even if Concubine Yi takes good care of herself, the frequency of her visits to the Yanx Palace every month is decreasing. Concubine Yi now lives on her children and is not afraid of offending Kangxi.

Concubine Yi touched the fourth princess' hair and said with a smile: "Galudai has grown up, and your aunt will find a good future for you!"

Noble Lady Guo Luoluo was infected by Concubine Yi's emotions and wiped away her tears. She entered the palace to help Concubine Yi give birth to a child. The arrival of the Fourth Princess was an unexpected surprise for her. As a mother, she is strong and she has nothing to lose.

The fourth princess looked at the resolute eyes of her mothers and could not say anything to dissuade them. Her inner desire for power reached its peak. If she could be a leader like a man, she would not have to act according to the wishes of the emperor, nor would she cause her mothers to risk losing favor by taking a gamble.

Concubine De didn't know that the Yanxi Palace was going to fight to the death. But she knew that if she delayed, something might happen, so she told the Fourth Prince to talk to Jiang Chen as soon as possible to see what he thought. After all, Jiang Chen was only the most suitable candidate, but not the only one. Only by confirming Jiang Chen's thoughts could she make preparations for the next step.

After much thought, the Fourth Prince decided that the Third Prince was the most suitable.

So after leaving the court, he started chatting with the Third Prince, "Third Brother, Jiang Xiuzhuan is really talented, but it's a pity that he is influenced by Lord Li and doesn't socialize much on weekdays. It's really heartbreaking to see him!"

The Third Prince was good with the literati, and when he heard about this, he thought this was a good opportunity to win over Jiang Chen. Looking at the Fourth Prince who mentioned this matter unintentionally, he showed gratitude. The Fourth Prince was really an honest child, and it would be disrespectful for the elder brother to refuse.

However, in order not to make himself conspicuous, the Third Prince invited the Fourth Prince: "Hey, this is indeed not a long-term solution. As an official, how can you not build good relationships with your colleagues? Fourth Prince, let's find a time to get together and introduce someone to Jiang Xiuzhuan."

Seeing that the Third Prince was so happy that his teeth were about to fall off, the Fourth Prince said admiringly, "Third Brother is the one who can make it. He has a way!"

The Third Prince was so proud that he almost laughed out of his throat.

Jiang Chen received the invitation and could not refuse it. Since his teacher was not here, he could not offend these princes. It was not a life or death match like last time. It was just a literary gathering to discuss poetry and songs. It would not be a big deal, so he readily agreed.
