Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 52: Seating Controversy and Concubine Yi
The Fourth Prince and Guaerjia came hand in hand. To be more precise, Guaerjia wanted to show that she was close to the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince did not want to pay attention to her. As soon as the Fourth Prince entered the Xili Courtyard, he ignored Guaerjia who was following him and went directly to find Yixiu.
When Yixiu entered the mansion, she was greeted with a greeting ceremony. Only Song Gege and Qi Gege were present, so naturally the Fourth Prince and Yixiu sat in the main seats, and the two Geges sat on both sides. But now that the Guarjia concubine was greeting, with Yixiu, who was of the same rank as her, present, it was natural that two main seats could not be set up.
Today is the meeting ceremony between Guaerjia and the people in the mansion. Liu Youyou naturally chooses the seat on the right and gives the seat on the left to Guaerjia.
But since the Fourth Prince had placed the meeting gift in Xili Courtyard, why would he let Yixiu sit on the right? He helped Liu Youyou up with one hand, and naturally held Liu Youyou's hand, completely ignoring the sullen expression of Guaerjia behind him.
Liu Youyou certainly felt the cannibalistic gazes of Guaerjia clan behind her, but if she couldn't even handle this little bit of pressure, how could she be the legitimate wife in the future? Liu Youyou didn't care at all, and even interacted with the Fourth Prince with her eyes. Well, the eyes behind her were even more fiery.
After entering the main hall, the Fourth Prince casually placed Yixiu on the seat on the left, which made Guaerjia, who came in later, very angry. The moment the master saw that Ulanara, his soul was hooked away, but she had endured it, after all, there was a long time to come. She had also endured setting the meeting place in Xiliyuan, but the Fourth Prince didn't even give her this little face, how could Guaerjia endure it?
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she spoke in a wronged tone, wanting to remind the Fourth Prince, "Master, today is the first time I meet all of you sisters..." After saying that, she glanced at Liu Youyou timidly, as if she was frightened and didn't dare to say anything else.
Liu Youyou watched with great interest. She had heard that Guaerjia was a bit arrogant. She thought she would be a shrewd and fierce beauty when she entered the mansion. Who would have thought that Guaerjia wanted to make tea? What a tea smell!
Guaerjia was not deliberately creating a persona, she didn't have the brains to do so, but the Fourth Prince's appearance was still very good at fooling little girls! So, in one night, Guaerjia's heart was on the Fourth Prince, and naturally she paid special attention to her appearance in her words and deeds.
It's a pity that Prince Xiang is interested but the goddess is ruthless. The Fourth Prince doesn't feel that there is anything special about Guaerjia at all, let alone whether she has any personality or not.
The Fourth Prince lowered his head to drink tea. He was a little thirsty after walking all the way. The tea served by Xiaoyi was indeed more to his liking. Xiaoyi paid special attention to even these small things. She really loves me!
Guaerjia spoke, and the Fourth Prince listened and wanted to wait for the next words, but Guaerjia only said one sentence and did not continue. The Fourth Prince was puzzled and said, "Yes, otherwise why did you call everyone here?"
Guaerjia was choked by the Fourth Prince and was about to point out that she wanted to be on the left regardless of her image.
Liu Youyou is watching! Can you give her a chance to perform? Liu Youyou stood up from her seat with a look of uneasiness and said to the Fourth Prince: "Master, today is a good day for Sister Guarjia, so naturally you should let her sit here. I am being rude!"
The Fourth Prince frowned and said to Liu Youyou, "My Lord asked you to sit here. What's wrong with Xiaoyi?"
Then he turned to the standing Guaerjia and said, "Xiaoyi entered the palace before you, so naturally he should be in front of you in terms of seniority. What's wrong with you sitting on the right?"
Guaerjia was so embarrassed by the ruthlessness of the Fourth Prince that her face turned red. If she hadn't used so much powder, she would have been unable to cover her face. But now she was too embarrassed to save face, so she could only sit on the right in silence.
Liu Youyou followed the Fourth Prince's instructions and continued to sit on the left.
The tail end of this farce happened to be overheard by two princesses who came to serve tea.
Song Gege was relieved. It was a good decision for her to join Ulanara's concubine. This Guaerjia family was not liked by the master at all! Thinking of this, she glanced at Qi Yuebin beside her with a smug look.
Qi Yuebin was much calmer. Even though he was shocked in his heart, his expression remained unchanged.
Everyone was present, and the tea ceremony began. Guaerjia and Liu Youyou exchanged greetings and exchanged a few polite words. Even though things had not been very pleasant just now, they were now full of sisterly affection and joy.
Then, Song Gege and Qi Gege paid their respects to Guaerjia. Guaerjia also took out the gifts she had prepared and gave each of them a set of jadeite and pearl headpieces. This set of headpieces was also very valuable. The green color of the jadeite was very transparent, and the pearls were also shining. However, compared with the pink tourmaline headpiece that Liu Youyou gave three days ago, it was a little worse. As for the one given to the eldest princess, it was also a standard gold bracelet, which was not as thoughtful as Liu Youyou's that day.
But in this backyard, everyone has outstanding acting skills. Even though they were comparing themselves in their hearts, Song Gege and Qi Gege both accepted the things happily.
The ceremony should be over here, and all that’s left is to chat for a while and then go home.
The Fourth Prince, whose presence was not very strong throughout the scene, suddenly said, "It's a bit difficult to pronounce the name Ulanara Concubine, so I'll use the character Yi to make it easier to address her. From now on, you can call Xiaoyi Concubine Yi!"
In fact, this title is not formal. After all, how can the Fourth Prince have the right to give titles to his wives and concubines? But it is okay to just call them that in the mansion.
Besides, the name "Fourth Prince" was taken from Yixiu's name, and it was not a formal and meaningful title like the harem, so it was harmless. Originally, the name of the harem would be simplified for convenience, but the Fourth Prince made it more formal.
Although it is just a matter of title, who doesn't know that as long as the legitimate wife does not appear in the backyard, Yixiu will be the one to be respected in everything in the future.
Guaerjia couldn't bear it any longer. If it was just based on the time of entering the palace, she could still make plans to deal with it, but if this Concubine Yi was confirmed, she would be half a head lower than Ulanara. She forced a smile and wanted to ask for a name for herself.
But the Fourth Prince seemed to see through Guaerjia's thoughts and said, "Guaerjia's Chinese surname is Shi. If you also find it troublesome to address her, you can just call her by her Chinese surname."
The Manchus were proud of their surnames. Even if they gave themselves Chinese surnames to cater to Kangxi's policies, how could they really call themselves that? The Guarjia clan would never do such a loss-making business. Shi Cefujin? I didn't know. I thought it was some Han army flag!
When the first plan failed, in order to save her face, Guaerjia took the next best option and said, "Then please give my yard a name!"
The Fourth Prince wanted to ask if you couldn't even come up with a name for the courtyard? But he also knew that he had suppressed Guaerjia a lot today to save face for Yixiu. He probably thought that the Crown Prince behind him couldn't really let Guaerjia have nothing. He said perfunctorily, "Your maiden name is Xuantong, Xuancao Wangyou, so let's call it Yiranyuan. I hope you can be happy and worry-free."
Xili was praising Yixiu's character. In comparison, Yiran was really perfunctory, but at least she had it. Guaerjia was really afraid that the Fourth Prince would not even give her this little bit of decency.
After being interrupted, he didn't want to chat anymore. The fourth prince said that he was going to the front yard to handle official business. Before leaving, he used his eyes to comfort Liu Youyou. After all, he had to stay in Yiran Courtyard for the next three days. The fourth prince was very satisfied. He thought Xiaoyi must like his gift very much.
