The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

In a flash, a few years passed. Kangxi had deposed the crown prince twice, imprisoned the eldest prince, and it had been several years since he deposed the eighth prince's party.

The situation in the court gradually became clear. Yinzhen successfully caught the eyes of court officials with his strength and ability, but he never showed his ambition for the throne, which made the officials stop and observe this cold-faced prince.

Rouyin has been secretly helping Yinzhen over the years, and her mother's family has come up with many methods of soap and cement, which have made the Qing Dynasty's treasury rich. Rouyin also secretly told the family whether these treasures should be reported to Kangxi by Yinzhen. Yinzhen stopped her, "Yin'er, I know your good intentions, but it would be better if this thing is presented to the emperor by my father-in-law. The emperor is suspicious, and the more my father-in-law presents it to the emperor without me, the happier the emperor will be."

"Okay, I will listen to you." Hearing his wife's clear and trusting voice, he couldn't help but kiss Rouyin's bright forehead again. He thought that his greatest blessing in this life was to meet Rouyin. The tender eyes made Rouyin's eyes soften. For so many years, she didn't expect that Yinzhen would be able to favor her. The two princesses in the mansion were thrown into the small courtyard by Yinzhen as ashes to fend for themselves. If they were left in an ordinary backyard, the two princesses would have been tortured to death because of lack of favor. Thinking of the two little girls, Rouyin smiled a little. After all, they were lovely and didn't have any excessive thoughts. Now they are playing around with children and doing some embroidery all day long.

Kangxi in the Palace of Heavenly Purity also thought of Honghui, Hongyi and other clever children. In terms of offspring and ability, Kangxi had to focus on Yinzhen. He stood in the palace and pondered. Among his sons, many were talented and capable, but the fourth son who could be an emperor was indeed the first choice. He was also raised by the Imperial Concubine, which was equivalent to a half-legitimate son. He was calm and steady, and could suppress the court officials and convince the other sons.

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more he valued the fourth prince, and his behavior became more obvious in the court. He also delegated the crown prince's duties to Yinzhen. The shrewd people in the court keenly sensed this trend and became more inclined to favor Prince Yong.

Some officials not only wanted to surrender to Yinzhen, but also wanted to get closer to him. The young and famous general Nian Gengyao was one of them. Usually, the way for a prince to get closer to him was to marry a woman from the clan, but he gave up the idea when he thought of the unparalleled face of the Fourth Lady. But if this didn't work, how could he win over the Fourth Prince? He was puzzled and couldn't help but mention it when he returned to his room and saw his wife Nalan.

Nalan helped him take off his coat and said softly, "Why don't you start with the Fourth Lady?"

Hearing this, Nian Gengyao was somewhat puzzled, "How is this flattering the Fourth Prince related to the Fourth Lady?"

Nalan was born into a family of scholars and had been intelligent since childhood. She looked helplessly at the stupid Nian Gengyao and slowly explained to him, "The Fourth Prince and his wife are in love, and everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible to send someone to the Fourth Prince's house. But as far as I know, the Fourth Lady's brother, Ulanara Deheng, is only sixteen years old and has not yet married. He has also taken the examination for a scholar. Isn't this the perfect candidate?"

After hearing Fu Jin's explanation, Nian Gengyao's eyes sparkled as if he was staring at Nalan, "Fu Jin really understands my intention and helps me out of my predicament." Thinking of a solution, he became a little worried, "The best candidate is my sister, but she is three years older than that boy. I don't know if my sister..."

Nalan knew Nian Gengyao's worries and his love for Nian Wanning, so she said sympathetically, "Don't worry, sir. I'll go and try it out first. If that doesn't work, I can also look at other women in the clan."

This cunning plot was obviously not only thought of by Nian Gengyao and his men. The smart officials in the court asked their wives to inquire about Mrs. Lin's opinion. Deheng, who suddenly became a hot commodity, was not only watched in the academy, but was also invited to his home by the sons of high-ranking officials whom he did not know. Not only Deheng himself, but Mrs. Lin was also the focus of invitation. Even the noble lady who had always been on good terms with him inquired about the marriage of her youngest son. The smart Mrs. Lin noticed something was wrong and told her husband Fei Yanggu about it.

"Madam, this matter is directed at the Fourth Prince. You must inform Yin'er tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I understand." Mrs. Lin understood.

After receiving the letter, Rouyin read the contents, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "These ministers in the court are really shrewd. This is really the right way, isn't it?"

Liu Qing turned his face in confusion when he heard the words. How could the ministers in the court be related to the madam? Because of the adults?

Rouyin looked at Liu Qing's confused face and rubbed her head. "Okay, don't think about it if you don't understand." She excitedly asked a few people to get some crushed ice, fruit, and milk. Rouyin planned to make some smoothies to try, just enough to beat the summer heat.

Although she made it herself, Rouyin actually said that it was made by Xiaohe, a maid who was good at cooking. Xiaohe was a disaster victim that Rouyin rescued when she was shopping two years ago. A young girl who hid her face and was covered in dirt went to get food but was snatched away and beaten by several strong beggars. Rouyin stopped them and gave her a job. In Xiaohe's eyes, Rouyin was a fairy who came down from heaven to save the mortal world.

"Chop the fruit and ice cubes." Rouyin felt Xiaohe's bright eyes and couldn't help but touch her now round cheeks. This child was pitiful, which really softened her heart. Xiaohe also quietly let Rouyin touch her. She looked like grass moistened by spring rain, staring at Rouyin more brightly.

This was the scene when Yinzhen rushed over. He was silent. Wasn't that a bit wrong? His wife was so attractive that it really made him feel a bit burdened!

"What did you do? Yin'er"

"My lord is here. I've asked Xiaohe to make a dessert for you to try." Xiaohe picked up the mango milk and crushed ice and walked to the prince's side.

Looking at Rouyin's expectant eyes, he thought sweetly that Yin'er loved him too much, and every time she developed a new product, she would let him have a bite first. (Hehe, this is purely the Fourth Master's imagination, Rouyin just wanted to see if it would fail, and then eat it if it tasted good.)

Yinzhen scooped a spoonful. It was icy and sweet, very refreshing. Drinking a cup in summer really relieves the heat. "It tastes very good, but it's just a cold dish. Yin'er, don't eat too much."

Seeing Yinzhen's eyes narrowed unconsciously while eating, Rouyin knew that the replica was successful, so she asked Xiaohe to make a few more dishes. But not all of them were hers, and the child's loud voice rang out, "Mother, mother!"

Speak of the devil, the six kids all showed up. "Wow, what is this, mother?" This was said by the greedy little prince Hong Chao, with soft voice and curved eyebrows, "Eat it, you naughty kids, only one bowl each!"

Hearing this, several children picked out their favorite desserts and enjoyed the food happily. Their eyes lit up when they took the first spoonful. Both mother and children narrowed their eyes and their mouth corners slightly turned up. Looking at this scene, Yinzhen also curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

After enjoying the delicious food, Rouyin talked to Yinzhen about business, "Master, my mother sent a message saying that many ministers from noble families are looking for marriage alliances with me. What do you think of this?"

Yinzhen frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he realized that this was directed at him, and cleared his throat, "Yin'er, my brother's marriage is indeed a happy event. I will carefully check the candidates for you, and if they are good, let your mother-in-law make the judgment."

"Okay, I know your reply."

Finally, Mrs. Lin chose Nian Gengyao's sister Nian Chuyue from the candidates found by Yinzhen. Rouyin was a little surprised to hear this candidate. What is this called, the love rival in the previous life is the sister-in-law in this life. Thinking of Nian Chuyue, who was as beautiful as a flower and had a clear distinction between love and hate in the previous life, Rouyin really wanted to meet this proud woman.
