Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The imperial concubine confided to Kangxi: "I entered the palace with the hope of my family. I was loved by the emperor. I was blessed by my elder sister Yu En and gave birth to Yin? He is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. As his mother, I know him best. Yin? has an impulsive personality and acts rashly. He is really not capable of taking on any major responsibilities. I beg the emperor to choose a wife for him from Mongolia!"

Kangxi was very shocked. If the Tenth Prince had any connection with Mongolia, he would never be able to compete for the throne in his life.

Although Kangxi now trusted the crown prince very much, he understood human nature. They were all sons of the emperor and grandsons of the phoenix. Who would be willing to kneel down and pay respect to others forever? All of his sons, one by one, had this thought in their mind.

Now the Imperial Concubine has directly cut off the Tenth Prince's path to advancement. Although Kangxi would basically not consider the Tenth Prince, the Imperial Concubine's decisiveness still makes Kangxi feel incredible.

The imperial concubine said frankly, "If I say that I have no intention of fighting for it, I'm afraid the emperor won't believe it. But Yin? is definitely not cut out for it. If he is used by someone with ulterior motives, I won't be at peace in my grave. It's better to settle this matter while I can still speak."

Kangxi sighed, said yes, and promised: "I will protect Yinzhen."

Just as he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is here!"

Concubine Yi came because the Tenth Prince heard that his mother was in poor health and had stopped going to school, so he ran straight back to Yongshou Palace. The Ninth Prince, who was left behind, was afraid that the Tenth Prince would get angry, so he turned to the Yanx Palace to ask Concubine Yi for help.

Concubine Yi and Imperial Concubine Nianhulu had little interaction. The daughter of Nianhulu's family did not need to be polite to anyone, and the Imperial Concubine just wanted to live a stable life in the palace. Concubine Yi did not want to see those noble ladies looking down on her, so naturally she had no interest in trying to please someone who did not like her.

All this changed when they gave birth to the ninth and tenth princes one after the other.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were only one month apart in age, and both were naughty. When they had playmates of the same age, they couldn't wait to stick together from morning to night. In this way, the relationship between the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Yi also improved.

After the two princes entered school, they interacted more frequently. After all, they needed to go together to plead guilty to Kangxi and save his son every now and then. How could they not be familiar with each other?

The Imperial Concubine was upset to hear this, and the Ninth Prince also told her that the Tenth Prince had returned in a daze. Concubine Yi rushed to the Yongshou Palace in an even more anxious manner and almost sprained her ankle on the way.

When they arrived, Concubine Yi saw that the Tenth Prince had been severely beaten. She blamed herself for coming too late and asked the imperial physician to check him again. Only after she was assured that he would be fine after taking medicine and resting, she felt relieved. The imperial physician was none other than the one who had been beaten. The one who had been beaten had to treat the one who had beaten him, that is, the royal family.

Concubine Yi heard Kangxi and the imperial concubine talking and thought that they might be entrusting their son to someone else's care, so she tentatively asked Liang Jiugong to pass the message on.

The imperial concubine heard and said, "Your Majesty, please let Sister Yi in!"

Kangxi understood the concubine's choice, so he signaled Liang Jiugong to bring Concubine Yi in.

Concubine Yi came in and greeted An Yi. When she looked up, she saw the imperial concubine who was so sick that she was just a bag of bones. She was a sentimental person, "Sister, has it come to this?"

The imperial concubine was calmer than Kangxi and Yifei, and she could even comfort them with a smile: "It's just life and death."

Concubine Yi sat down next to her, tears falling from her eyes, "Sister, there must be a way!"

The imperial concubine's smile turned bitter. Who would want to die if they could live? It didn't matter if she died, what was important was the Tenth Prince.

She held Concubine Yi's hand and asked, "Sister Yi, do you think Yin? is a good child?"

Concubine Yi unconsciously tightened her grip and said, "The Tenth Prince is very good. I will enjoy happiness in the future."

The imperial concubine took a breath and continued, "I also want to see Yin? marry and have children, but human power is limited. If you think Yin? is okay, please take a look for me."

Concubine Yi was speechless and could only nod continuously.

The Nianhulu clan outside the palace could not use the Tenth Prince to cause chaos, and for the sake of the Ninth Prince, Concubine Yi would also protect the Tenth Prince.

The imperial concubine had made all the arrangements. She let go of the breath she had been holding on to, and her body went limp and she fainted.

There was another chaos and confusion. The imperial concubine was carried back to bed to rest. A strong medicine was boiled and forced into her mouth, and only then was the situation stabilized.

But anyone who looks at it knows that this is not a long-term solution. One day, the imperial concubine may not be able to hold on any longer.

From that day on, the Tenth Prince took a long vacation and stayed by the Imperial Concubine's bedside every day, feeding her medicine and food without help. In fact, she was not very tired, because the Imperial Concubine could hardly eat.

As per custom, the four concubines prepared funeral ceremonies to bring good luck, but in the end they were unable to keep the imperial concubine.

In November, it was a gloomy day with snow falling. The imperial concubine became energetic early in the morning and insisted that someone open the window so that she could look at the snow piled up outside. She felt that she could not see clearly from the bed, so she walked to the window without anyone's help, looked out with great interest, and listened to the chirping of sparrows outside.

The imperial concubine smiled and said to the Tenth Prince who came rushing over: "In the past, when I went to the palace to visit your aunt, I always stayed for a few days. In winter, your aunt was kind-hearted and asked the palace servants to make a few feeding troughs to feed these birds. At that time, I was still young, and I watched them eat in the snow, and your aunt watched me by the window."

The imperial concubine recalled the past and sighed: "Counting the years, your aunt has passed away for sixteen years, and I have been in the palace for fourteen years. The time has passed so quickly."

The Tenth Prince was extremely grief-stricken, but he still had to force a smile and echoed the Imperial Concubine: "Mother, you have a really good memory. It's been so many years, and your son is already ten years old."

The imperial concubine embraced the tenth prince and said, "Mother misses your aunt and your sister.

Your sister went to the underworld when she was so young. There are so many evil spirits there. Your mother is worried. She can't just rely on your aunt to protect her. Your aunt is such a good person. It should be her turn to reincarnate a long time ago. We can't let your sister delay it.

Yin? Be good, mother is just going to protect her sister... "

The imperial concubine's voice became lower and lower until there was no more sound.

The Tenth Prince went to check on the concubine with tears in his eyes, and found that the concubine had left.

Kangxi was still attending the morning court when a dull bell rang from the harem. It was a death knell. Kangxi had no heart to continue attending the court. The people under him cooperated tacitly and postponed all matters that had not to be dealt with today. After only a few things were finalized, Kangxi rushed to Yongshou Palace without waiting for the ministers to salute.

The Tenth Prince has already changed into mourning clothes, and the Ninth Prince is accompanying him. The four concubines are waiting for Kangxi to posthumously confer the title of Noble Consort on them so as to determine the specifications of the funeral ceremony.

Kangxi came with the imperial edict that he had written long ago. Liang Jiugong read it out: "The noble concubine has assisted in the internal affairs for many years. Her virtues are well known and the palace is well-governed. I am deeply saddened by your sudden death. It is appropriate to posthumously confer a title to honor her. I obey your kind instructions and give her the posthumous title of 'Wenxi'."

Kangxi was afraid that posthumously conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort would make the Tenth Prince too conspicuous, and perhaps out of some affection for his son, he gave Consort Nianhulu a two-character posthumous title.

The funeral of Consort Wenxi was far beyond the standard for a concubine. The court and the harem were busy for a month before things gradually calmed down. Apart from waiting for important days, they lived a normal life. Only the Tenth Prince remembered his mother and mourned for her every day.
