Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The fourth princess continued to look for new prey, but Kangxi experienced the ups and downs of his mood.

Just now someone came to report that the Fourth Princess had encountered a tiger, and Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, another person came to report that the Fourth Princess had shot the tiger to death with one arrow and was now looking for new prey.

Kangxi laughed out of anger. It was rare for him to feel that his children, other than the crown prince, were a debt.

However, the Fourth Princess did bring honor to Kangxi, so this little episode was easily forgotten.

The day was not long, and with the afterglow of the sun, everyone returned home with a full load of prey.

Among them, the team led by the Fourth Princess was the most eye-catching. In addition to the tiger, the Fourth Princess also hunted a lone wild boar, as well as countless small prey such as hares and pheasants.

Not surprisingly, the fourth princess won first place.

The second place was the Prince of Khalkha, who also had a lot of prey, the most conspicuous of which was a bear, a wild wolf and three foxes.

Kangxi was very proud that the husband he had chosen for the Fourth Princess was indeed a good one. If he had not taken the Fourth Princess's wishes into consideration, Kangxi would have ordered on the spot that the Fourth Princess should marry the Khalkha Prince.

The fourth princess's superb archery skills and the prey she hunted won the respect of everyone present. The Mongolian princesses who came with her surrounded her.

The fourth princess was not panicked. She spoke to the Mongolian princesses in a calm and confident manner. She could talk about everything from clothes and jewelry to hunting techniques, and she was not biased towards anyone and took care of everyone.

Seeing that the fourth princess had become the social center of the girls, the boys were also discussing the dazzling fourth princess today.

Among them, the most conspicuous was the Prince of Khalkha. He wandered around the girls for a long time and many people had seen him.

The girls chattered and winked at the fourth princess. The fourth princess was not shy and said frankly in Mongolian: "It seems that the Khalkha Prince wants to see me for something. I will be back soon!"

So the princesses made way for the fourth princess to pass.

When the Khalkha Prince saw the Fourth Princess walking towards him, he was at a loss as to what to do and could only stare at the Fourth Princess as she walked towards him.

The fourth princess walked up to her, bringing with her a gust of fragrant breeze, a fragrance that the Khalkha Prince could not smell on the grassland.

This fragrance was like a needle, piercing all the courage of the Khalkha prince. The fourth princess was a noble princess of the royal family, enjoying the best things. This perfume powder was something that the distant Khalkha could not use all year round. Without the phoenix tree, how could the noble phoenix live?

The fourth princess looked at the Khalkha Prince curiously, not understanding why this man changed from being honest and shy just now to being dejected.

The fourth princess waited for a while, and seeing that the Khalkha prince did not speak, she took the initiative to ask: "I wonder what the prince wants to see me for?"

The prince was brought back to his senses by the Fourth Princess' voice. He secretly regretted how he had made a fool of himself in front of the Fourth Princess again.

So he said in Manchu in a strange way: "Your Highness, I hunted a few foxes with nice fur today and wanted to give them to you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the Khalkha Prince regretted it even more. Why did he say he wanted to give something without any greetings? The Fourth Princess would definitely not accept it.

The fourth princess responded without hesitation: "I have no relationship with the prince, so I cannot accept his gift without reason."

Seeing the disappointment on the face of the Khalkha Prince, the Fourth Princess continued, "How about I send someone to give the Prince some of the prey we hunted today?"

The Khalkha Prince was stunned by the surprise and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then the Khalkha Prince remained in a dazed state and sent the fourth princess back to the gathering place of the girls.

Then he returned to his own table, picked up the kumis on the table, and poured himself a glass.

Hiss! Why is the kumis so strong today? I can’t stand it after drinking one glass.

After the bonfire party, the fourth princess returned to her tent, washed and changed her clothes. Her whole body was already permeated by the smell of barbecue, and she felt uncomfortable at the smell.

Before her hair was dry, Concubine Yi could no longer wait and lifted the curtain to come in.

"Garudai, I saw you go out with that Khalkha prince today?"

The fourth princess enjoyed the maid's action of gently massaging her scalp with a towel and drying it, and perfunctorily said to Concubine Yi: "What else can we do? It's just a chat!"

Concubine Yi sat beside her angrily and said, "Didn't you see the look on your royal father's face today? He almost issued an order for you to marry that prince on the spot!"

The fourth princess comforted Concubine Yi by the hand and said, "Mother, we have long known that this matter is unavoidable. Instead of dragging it out and making the emperor angry, it is better to take the initiative and find someone who is acceptable to our daughter, and by the way, gain the emperor's guilt."

Concubine Yi slapped the Fourth Princess's hand away uncomfortably, turned around and said sadly: "Is there no other way?"

The fourth princess leaned against Concubine Yi's back and said softly, "Mother, I observed the Khalkha Prince today. He has clear eyes and doesn't look like someone who would do something stupid. Maybe he would be a good husband."

Concubine Yi choked up and said, "When you get married and find out that he is not a good person, the emperor is far away, can you still divorce him?"

Concubine Yi could not see the ambitious look in the Fourth Princess' eyes, she could only hear the Fourth Princess' response: "My daughter is not marrying for a harmonious marriage, whether he is a good man or not is not important."

The Fourth Princess could see that the Khalkha Prince was a somewhat clumsy person, which was just fine. As long as he listened to her orders, she might as well be a loving couple with him for the rest of his life. If he was a treacherous person, wouldn't it be even better? She could then take power more openly.

The time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the hunting that lasted for more than ten days was about to end. At the same time, the Khalkha Prince was about to set off back to the Khalkha grassland.

He came to Beijing to pay tribute and received assistance from Emperor Kangxi, so the people of the tribe could survive the cold winter. But he had a lover in his heart, and he dared not tell her but could not let her go.

The fourth princess was unaware of the dilemma of the Khalkha prince, but she knew that this year was the day when Kangxi would reach an agreement with the Mongolian tribes, and that the expedition against Galdan would be launched next year. If she wanted to gain Kangxi's favor, she could not wait for the war to start. Only if she contributed now could she be rewarded for her merits when victory came.

So, while the servants were busy packing up, the fourth princess found the Khalkha Prince.

Prince Khalkha was so happy that his hands and feet were out of control. He could only straighten his clothes and walk out of the tent. The Fourth Princess was waiting for him on horseback not far away.

The Khalkha Prince deliberately mounted his horse in a handsome manner and rushed straight towards the Fourth Princess.

The two of them rode side by side, with their servants following at a distance behind them.

The fourth princess looked at the endless grassland and asked the Khalkha Prince: "Prince, is the Khalkha grassland also like this?"

The Khalkha Prince wanted to brag, but looking into the Fourth Princess' eyes, he stammered, "The Khalkha grassland used to be much more vast and lush than this. The rain has been bad in recent years, and it is hard to see such beautiful scenery on the grassland."

The fourth princess was silent for a moment, then said, "Prince, you should know what the emperor is thinking, why don't you lie to me?"
