Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After the New Year, it was the 34th year of the Kangxi reign.

Nothing much happened in the first half of the thirty-fourth year.

In February, Zhang Ying presided over Jiang Chen's coming-of-age ceremony, and Jiang Chen officially became an adult.

In May, Kangxi inspected the seaports near the capital and built a temple of the sea god.

In June, the prince got married and was named Crown Princess by Kangxi as soon as she entered the palace, which showed how satisfied she was.

The first half of the year passed quickly, but the second half was not so fast.

The prince of the Khalkha tribe had arrived in the capital after a long journey to pay tribute, and Kangxi held a grand banquet to welcome him.

Concubine Yi couldn't smile at all. She thought that even a god from heaven would not be worthy of her Galudai to travel across mountains and rivers to marry him. But the reality was that Galudai had no choice but to marry.

Although Kangxi said that the four princesses could choose, there were only so many people in the Mongolian desert, and the prince of the Tushetu Khan tribe was at least the one closest to the Qing Dynasty. Who else could be chosen if not him?

The Fourth Princess was much calmer than Concubine Yi. She begged Kangxi and met with the Prince several times.

The Manchus were not as strict about separation between men and women as the Han people were. In broad daylight, with countless people watching, it was not a problem for them to see each other a few times.

So, Kangxi waved his hand and set a date for young single men and women to go hunting together. In name, it was hunting, but who didn't know that it was to arrange a blind date for the fourth princess?

On this day, the fourth princess changed into a set of clothes that were convenient for riding. She was dressed in bright red and carried a bow and arrow on her back. Although she had not started hunting yet, her excellent riding skills had already attracted countless cheers.

As a father who is very good at pushing his children, Kangxi was very proud of the performance of the fourth princess. "Galudai is worthy of being a princess of our Manchu ethnic group. She has not lost any of the horse riding and archery skills passed down by our ancestors. Good!"

Kangxi selectively forgot that he had let the princesses run wild, and the fourth princess could perform as she did today thanks to Concubine Yi's love of riding and shooting, so she took her daughter to practice a lot. Especially after the fourth princess's marriage was irreversible, Concubine Yi gritted her teeth and trained the fourth princess hard.

The Fourth Princess was unaware of Kangxi’s praise for her from the podium. All her attention was now focused on the competition.

As soon as Kangxi announced the start, the Fourth Princess raised her whip and whipped the horse's butt hard, and then headed towards the hunting direction that the Fourth Princess had already chosen.

After entering the woods, the fourth princess looked around and listened carefully. Soon she shot several rabbits and golden pheasants. The people around her flattered her, "Princess, you are a good archer. You can shoot arrows from such a long distance without missing a target. I'm afraid it's hard for other princesses to catch these prey!"

The fourth princess was not satisfied with these prey. She frowned and replied, "Why only compete with women?"

She wanted to be better than everyone, not just the princesses from the families traveling with her, but also those from the grasslands. She heard from the royal mama that the people from the grasslands admired the strong, and only by being better than them could she make them listen to her.

The fourth princess knew that these prey were far from enough and she needed bigger and stronger prey.

So she drove her horse deeper into the woods.

After walking for a while, the fourth princess signaled to stop, then closed her eyes and listened carefully, and then went south. The people accompanying her were all experienced hunters, and they knew that this was the trace of finding prey.

Just like that, a group of people, led by the fourth princess, surrounded the south as quietly as possible.

There was a rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other in the forest. From a distance, I saw that it was a sika deer chewing on the tender leaves!

The fourth princess' eyes were bright, revealing a determination to win. She gestured to show that she wanted to hunt by herself.

The fourth princess held her breath, drew the bow and arrow, aimed at the target. Then she let go of the arrow and it flew straight towards the deer's eye. The deer sensed the danger and instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The arrow had already passed through the deer's eye and nailed it to the tree.

The sika deer struggled in vain for a few times and then stopped breathing. The men gathered around it and, after making sure the deer was dead, they sent it to the Fourth Princess.

The fourth princess' face flushed with excitement. She ordered, "Put away the deer and present it to the emperor immediately!"

Deer have a special meaning in China. Although the Manchus did not pay attention to this when hunting, the fourth princess did not dare to challenge Kangxi's bottom line. Moreover, she was a daughter. Is there anything more gratifying for Kangxi than this? The fourth princess needed to increase her bargaining chips with Kangxi.

So the two men took the order and took the deer back to present it to Kangxi.

When Kangxi received the sika deer that his daughter had killed, he was so happy that he almost lost his eyesight. He boasted to the ministers around him: "How is it? My daughter has inherited the tradition of our ancestors, right?"

Everyone naturally surrounded Kangxi to praise him, but the fourth princess was indeed the best among the contestants today for being able to hunt a deer. In particular, they saw the wound and shot it to death with one arrow, which was really amazing!

While Kangxi was still excited, the Fourth Princess encountered trouble.

She met a tiger, and it was a hungry tiger.

The horse was restless, and the fourth princess calmly patted the horse's neck to comfort it.

At the same time, it was analyzed that prey is released into the enclosure all year round, including some ferocious beasts, but as the top of the food chain in the enclosure, it is impossible for the tiger to starve.

There is only one possible reason why this tiger is so hungry: it has a physical defect and cannot even do simple hunting.

With this inference, the fourth princess observed the tiger carefully again and indeed found a clue.

Although the tiger appeared to be aggressive, one of its eyes was blind and one of its hind legs could not touch the ground.

However, the fourth princess also made a discovery that was unfavorable to her. There were traces of bows and arrows on the tiger's body, and it could even be seen that its eyes were injured by the bows and arrows.

Animals that have been injured by humans will have a strong desire for revenge against humans, especially tigers like this, they will probably not give them a chance to retreat and escape.

Now we can't care about prey or not. The right thing to do is for everyone to force the tiger back or shoot it to death.

The tiger seemed to be stimulated by the humans riding horses and carrying bows and arrows, and it began to go crazy.

The situation was critical, and the fourth princess drew her bow and shot, but unfortunately the tiger seemed to have sufficient countermeasures against bows and arrows and dodged them immediately.

However, the fourth princess did not lose confidence. She took out a new bow and arrow from behind and held it in her hand, looking for the tiger's weakness.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away, as if someone heard the wind and came to reinforce.

The tiger heard the noise behind it and got panicked. It only had one eye left, so its vision was not that wide.

In an instant, the fourth princess seized the opportunity, she quickly drew her bow and shot an arrow, and hit the target!

The arrow pierced through the tiger's only remaining good eye. The pain made the tiger even more frantic, but the arrow had already penetrated its head, and all that was left was a dying struggle.

After a while, the tiger died.

Before anyone could step forward, the sound of horse hooves in the distance came into view. It was the prince of the Khalkha tribe.

He first alerted the tiger in front of him and made sure that the tiger was dead. Then he paid his respects to the Fourth Princess from a distance and praised her: "The Fourth Princess was able to shoot a tiger to death with one arrow. She is really a heroine!"

The fourth princess certainly knew who was on the other side, but she had few opportunities to hunt at will. She ignored the man on the other side, just exchanged a few simple greetings, and continued to look for prey.

The prince was left standing there alone, his heart pounding.
