Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Having made up her mind, the Fourth Princess bid farewell to the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince, returned to her own residence, and asked the palace maids to wash and dress her.

When everything was ready, we went to the Qianqing Palace.

When Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong say that the Fourth Princess had arrived, he looked unhappy. He did not like this daughter who had caused the quarrel between him and Concubine Yi.

Having too many sons and daughters was originally of little value, and Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian received most of the love and care. The Fourth Princess lived a good life only because of Concubine Yi's care, and Kangxi did not have too much preference for this daughter.

But he couldn't not see the Fourth Princess. His unpleasant parting with Concubine Yi had already caused a lot of gossip in the harem. If he didn't even see the Fourth Princess, those servants who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak would deprive the Yanx Palace of its property.

So he asked Liang Jiugong to invite the fourth princess in.

As soon as the Fourth Princess entered the room, Kangxi was a little stunned because the Fourth Princess was wearing court dress.

When the fourth princess saw Kangxi, she knelt down and bowed deeply, saying in a sonorous voice: "As a princess, I am supported by the whole country. Now the border is unstable, the people are displaced, and the soldiers are bleeding and sacrificing. I am terrified. I am willing to marry the Khalkha tribe, to form a friendship between the two families forever, and to suppress Galdan together."

Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and carefully looked at his daughter, whom he had never noticed. Galudai had a pair of thick eyebrows with high peaks, which added a bit of heroism to her soft face. At first glance, it was clear that this was a tenacious girl.

When the Fourth Princess was young, she was even more naughty than the Fifth Prince. She made Concubine Yi and Noble Lady Guo Luoluo so worried that they couldn't eat. This little girl was wild all day long, and no one knew who she took after.

Kangxi recalled the few memories he had with the Fourth Princess, and a rare feeling of fatherly love welled up in his heart. He walked up to the Fourth Princess, helped her up, and praised her, saying, "Garudai is so wise and righteous, and it is a blessing for the people. Next year, the young talents of the Khalkha tribe in the northern desert will come to the capital, and Galudai can choose a husband of her choice."

When the Fourth Princess heard the news, she understood why Concubine Yi was so anxious and even did not hesitate to anger the Emperor. If they waited until the capital, there would be no room for maneuver in the marriage. But Concubine Yi overlooked that since it was related to the future expedition against Galdan, Kangxi would never let any mistakes go wrong.

Seeing that Kangxi's face was no longer gloomy, the fourth princess said the next thing, "When my daughter was young and cried, Yi E Niang stayed by her side and was worried and refused to go to sleep. Now, E Niang has upset the emperor because of my daughter. It is really my daughter's fault! Please forgive me, the emperor."

Kangxi was just worried that he had no way to reconcile with Concubine Yi! The fourth princess handed it to him. He said with empathy: "I didn't want you to marry far away in Mobei. It's just that the national conditions are like this. Concubine Yi loves her daughter dearly, and you have a sense of justice, so how can you be considered wrong?"

Kangxi directly defined this incident as the result of his deep love for his daughter, and Concubine Yi did not commit any offense.

"Liang Jiugong, go to the warehouse and pick out some things that Concubine Yi likes and send them to her. You are such a grown-up, but you still act like a little girl. Only I can tolerate that. Galudai should also pick out some things he likes." Kangxi did not want to delay and directly asked Liang Jiugong to deliver the things.

"Hmm!" Liang Jiugong took the fourth princess downstairs, thinking that Master Yi still had the status. It had only been a few days and the Emperor had already admitted defeat.

The fourth princess was very curious about Kangxi's inner treasury. In the past, only the crown prince had the privilege of visiting Kangxi's inner treasury, while others could only be rewarded by the eunuchs in front of the emperor and could not see what rare treasures were in the treasury.

As soon as the fourth princess entered the room, she saw everything from calligraphy and painting to jewelry and jade, as well as countless things she had only heard of but never seen, neatly displayed in the storeroom. With just a quick glance, she could tell that every item was a priceless treasure.

Liang Jiugong brought the Fourth Princess to a place dedicated to jewelry. There were so many things that the Fourth Princess was dazzled. Liang Jiugong did not dare to delay for too long, so he assisted the Fourth Princess in choosing, "Princess, do you want to design the raw materials yourself, or do you want something ready-made?"

The fourth princess thought of her two mothers and said, "Please help me choose, Eunuch Liang. I want a large piece of jade."

Eunuch Liang brought the fourth princess to a place where there were gray stones. The smaller ones were as big as millstones and all were covered with red cloth.

Liang Jiugong was familiar with the layout of the place. He simply lifted the red cloth on dozens of stones, revealing the stones with windows already opened.

There are all kinds of green inside, including glass jade, water jade, ice jade, gold jade, etc. There are also some purple and yellow jade.

Who can face these crystal clear jades without losing their composure? The fourth princess couldn't. She looked at them one by one and thought they were all good. Finally, she chose a piece of jade that was suitable for both young and old.

But what made her even more curious were the other stones that had not been uncovered by the red cloth. However, Liang Jiugong pretended not to see them and just smiled to signal the Fourth Princess that it was time to leave.

The fourth princess could only reluctantly leave the storehouse. Seeing the door locked, she felt disappointed. She was afraid that she would never have the chance to come back again. Not only this storehouse, but she was also afraid that she would never be able to return to the palace.

The fourth princess was a little melancholy. This was the home where she had lived for fifteen years. All the memories of it would fade away in the long life ahead. She looked up and saw swifts flying south. It turned out that autumn was coming again. (Here is an explanation. The leap month of May is usually from the end of June to the end of July in the Gregorian calendar, so it is the time when some birds fly south relatively early.)

As soon as the fourth princess stepped into the gate of Yanxi Palace, she saw Concubine Yi, who had been pretending to be ill in bed for many days, and Concubine Guo Luoluo who was supporting her. Concubine Yi was about to question her, but Concubine Guo Luoluo reminded her that it was not appropriate to say more in the crowd.

Concubine Yi suppressed her anger slightly and took the fourth princess back to the main hall. After the servants had left, Concubine Yi slammed the table and asked, "Garudai, how could you go and talk to the emperor on your own?"

As confused as Concubine Yi was when she received the reward, as painful as she was when she knew what these things were exchanged for.

The fourth princess knelt in front of the two sisters and said, "Do you want my aunt to be angry with the emperor like this?"

Concubine Yi was even more angry: "How can a junior like you worry about the affairs of the elders?"

The fourth princess responded: "If my aunt's action is useful, I dare not comment on it, but my father has already made up his mind. Do you want to sacrifice my aunt to do useless work?"

Concubine Yi wanted to say that it was not in vain, but when she recalled Kangxi's ruthless back that day, she lost her strength and said dejectedly: "You have grown up and have your own ideas."

The fourth princess fell on her knees, crying, "It's not my aunt, but my father is God! How can we go against God? If my aunt loses my father's love because of me, what will happen to my brothers in the future? What will happen to Yanxi Palace in the future?"

Concubine Yi could not hold back her sorrow and cried while hugging the Fourth Princess.

Noble Lady Guo Luoluo had already been crying uncontrollably. That was the blood she had carried for ten months, and it was sent to a place where she would never see it again.
