Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

When it came to the party, the Third Prince was very sensible and did not invite many people. Instead, it was a banquet with wine flowing in the water. Everyone was talking happily and Jiang Chen joined in. He inevitably drank a few more glasses of wine. He was always restrained and felt a little dizzy after drinking too much.

The Fourth Prince was not keen on talking with scholars. He felt that big talk could not prove whether one had real talent or knowledge. Besides, his purpose this time was Jiang Chen, so he sat down near Jiang Chen without leaving any trace.

Jiang Chen was drinking tea to sober up when he saw the Fourth Prince coming. He stood up to greet him but felt dizzy. The Fourth Prince quickly supported him and said, "Jiang Xiuzhuan, there is no need to be so polite. For a private banquet like this, just treat me as an ordinary guest."

Jiang Chen opened his eyes for a while and apologized: "Thank you for your understanding, Fourth Prince. I am not very tolerant of alcohol. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

The Fourth Prince helped Jiang Chen to the side, and sat down himself, chatting: "Drinking in moderation is fine, but if you drink too much, it will be bad."

Jiang Chen's mind was paralyzed by alcohol, and his reaction was always slow. "...Fourth Prince is right, but the teacher has always been strict and believes that drinking too early is harmful to the body, so I am a little embarrassed to drink."

The Fourth Prince comforted him, "Lord Li agrees with the Emperor. The Emperor also believes that excessive drinking will cloud our minds, and he does not allow us to drink too much."

Li Guangdi was a teacher and a father to Jiang Chen, and Kangxi was also the Fourth Prince's father. After this conversation, the two young men were no longer restrained.

Seeing that the time was right, the Fourth Prince asked the question that concerned him the most, "Jiang Xiuzhuan is a little older than me. I already have two concubines this year. I wonder if Jiang Xiuzhuan is ready to get engaged?"

The hangover tea took effect, and Jiang Chen was no longer confused. He responded to the Fourth Prince, "Fourth Master, just call me by my given name. My family is poor, but I am lucky to have a mentor, so I can concentrate on my studies. Now that I have just passed the exam, I have no time to think about these things."

The Fourth Prince showed concern on his face: "Wangxuan, it's time to think about it. Now you are a good man, and hundreds of families are waiting for you!"

Jiang Chen confided: "Hey, Fourth Master, you don't know, I still have an obsession in my heart, and I can't think about marriage for the time being."

The Fourth Prince teased, "Could it be that Wangxuan had a childhood sweetheart who got lost?"

Jiang Chen held his forehead with his hand: "Does the Fourth Master also read street stories? I have no intention of expressing my feelings for my children."

The Fourth Prince laughed loudly. It was a pleasure to make Jiang Chen change his expression.

Jiang Chen was not annoyed. He waited for the Fourth Prince to finish laughing before continuing, "I have an older sister who has been lost for many years. My father passed away because of this, and my mother has also suffered from a heart disease and is in poor health. I want to find my sister back. I want to see her alive or dead. Even if she is gone, I want to find her bones and rebuild her grave."

The Fourth Prince thought about what he had found out and sighed secretly. If it was a simple kidnapping, it would be easy to deal with, but if it involved a prominent family, Jiang Chen would be afraid it would be difficult to get any information.

So the Fourth Prince patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Wang Xuan is so persistent, your sister will eventually find her. But you can't delay your marriage! You have a mother at home, if you can marry a virtuous wife to keep her company, you can rest assured and work hard outside."

Jiang Chen seemed to be thinking about something. "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. My father passed away early, and my teacher treated me like a son. I should ask my teacher about this matter."

The Fourth Prince was relieved when he saw that Jiang Chen was not without ideas, but he still tried to test him: "If Wang Xuan is not in a hurry to get married, why not arrange two personal servants to serve him?"

Jiang Chen was shocked by this suggestion. He had never experienced sex before, so he stammered, "My parents are very loving. When I was young, my father never abandoned my mother. After my father left, my mother never remarried. I guess I have to live alone."

The other half of the Fourth Prince's heart was also relieved, but he still pressed on: "Wangxuan, you don't have to be polite to me. If you don't have any connections, I can give you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Chen, "Fourth Master, please stop talking. Jiang Chen has a bottom line and will not be moved by external affairs. I really can't bear it."

The Fourth Prince looked regretful on the surface, but he was very satisfied in his heart. Although the Fifth Princess' marriage was an exchange of interests, he valued Jiang Chen's future. Concubine De wanted to have a better bargaining chip for the Fifth Princess to stay in the capital, and Jiang Chen could also avoid decades of struggle. But as a brother, it would be better if the brother-in-law could be good to his sister.

The Fourth Prince stopped trying to persuade him and started talking to Jiang Chen about other things.

After the banquet, the Fourth Prince sent something to Concubine De and passed on what he saw and heard into Yonghe Palace on a note.

When Concubine De saw what the Fourth Prince wrote, she was even more moved, but she still wanted to confirm her daughter's feelings. Of all the children, Concubine De loved the Fifth Princess the most. The Fourteenth Prince was the guarantee of Concubine De's future life, but the Fifth Princess was the one who accompanied Concubine De through the pain of the Sixth Prince's early death. Under the premise of not endangering Concubine De's interests, she was willing to listen to her daughter's wishes.

So when the fifth princess came to pay her respects, she asked, "Your fourth sister has already started looking for someone, what does Yalichi think?"

A blurry face appeared in the Fifth Princess' mind and she was startled. This was the person Yi'en Niang picked for her Fourth Sister. What are you thinking, Yalichi?

But when Defei saw that her daughter was hesitant and unwilling to speak, and her face was blushing and dazed, she also came from her daughter's home, so she knew why she was in such a state. It was a pity that her lover pushed himself into the fire pit for his sister's future path.

Concubine De ignored the pain in her heart, hugged the Fifth Princess and asked, "Yaliqi is uneasy, but does he have a choice?"

The fifth princess didn't want to compete with her sister for a man, so she calmed down and said, "I don't have any! It's just that mother suddenly brought up such a topic. I am so embarrassed!"

De Fei couldn't trick him, so she changed her story: "That day when you accompanied the Fourth Princess to watch the No. 1 Scholar's parade, what did you gain?"

When Yaliqi heard what Concubine De said, he remembered Jiang Chen's gentle smile when he looked up, and his cheeks became hot again. But when he thought of the Fourth Princess, he said calmly: "Then you should ask the Fourth Sister. It's not me who sees it, how would I know."

Concubine De sighed in her heart. This was how the Fifth Princess looked when she saw something she liked.

She and the Fifth Prince were raised together at the Empress Dowager's lap. After all, princes were more noble than princesses, so the Fifth Princess had to give in to the Fifth Prince in many things. For example, the fresh tribute lychees were loved by the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Prince as well. In order not to cause trouble for Concubine De, the Fifth Princess would act as if she was not interested.

The Fifth Princess was now in a state of excitement but restraint. When Concubine De recalled the past, she felt extremely sad. She hugged the Fifth Princess tightly and said with a smile, "Mother, don't think about it. What if Yaliqi also meets someone he likes? If so, tell Mother and I will find a way to make our Yaliqi's wish come true."

The fifth princess was in Concubine De's arms, unable to see Concubine De's malicious eyes, and said coquettishly: "Mother is so good to Yaliqi, Yaliqi has everything he likes, so why does he need to ask Mother for it!"

The Fifth Princess was well-behaved and sensible, which made Concubine De love her even more. She stroked the Fifth Princess's back and thought about how to kick the Fourth Princess out first. The Fourth Princess was a good child, but she was in the way of Yaliqi, so she had to be trimmed.
