TV series: Daily life of male supporting role
Chapter 11: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Gengyao 05
After Nian Shilan and Yue Zhongqi's marriage was settled, Nian Gengyao had time to watch plays.
There is no other reason. The main reason is that the fight for the throne has entered a white-hot stage and the Fourth Master's mansion is extremely bustling, so it is hard not to attract attention.
Nian Gengyao secretly sent someone to reveal Rouze and her mother's plan intentionally or unintentionally, and Nian Gengyao also found out that Rouze was dancing in the Plum Garden that day, and the reason why the Fourth Master was bewitched was that there was a warm and fragrant smell in the purse that Rouze carried.
The so-called love at first sight of the Fourth Master was nothing more than the sexual desire aroused by the warm fragrance.
Nian Gengyao accidentally revealed this discovery to the Fourth Master, who was a suspicious person. On the anniversary of Tian Rouze's death, the Fourth Master came to the Plum Garden to mourn his deceased wife.
Rouze died of complications during childbirth while under Yixiu's care.
Yixiu's cruelty made Nian Gengyao once again certain that this person was not the gentle and kind Fourth Lady in his memory.
There are too many irrationalities in this world. Nian Gengyao still hasn’t figured out what’s wrong with this world?
The woman who appeared most often in the dream was Zhen Huan, who was favored by Emperor Yongzheng because she looked very similar to Rouze. But that woman would not appear until the selection of concubines in the first year of Yongzheng's reign.
At this point, Nian Gengyao couldn't help but complain about Yongzheng again. Wasn't there any censor who came out to oppose him?
In Nian Gengyao's previous life, Emperor Yongzheng mourned for Emperor Kangxi for 27 months. In this world, Emperor Yongzheng began to select a national beauty within half a year of his accession to the throne. What a joke! Didn't anyone impeach him?
But it's still early now, so he should hide in the dark and watch the show.
The Fourth Master was very powerful. After learning that his meeting with Rouze was a setup, he became furious and activated his own secret forces, the Sticky Rod Department, to find out what happened that year.
That day, the Fourth Master asked Kangxi for leave and stayed in the study all day, feeling depressed.
When Nian Gengyao received the news, he nodded with satisfaction, and then counted the list of betrothal gifts sent by his future brother-in-law with his wife.
The two families set a date, but the Han people pay attention to the three books and six ceremonies, and no step can be missed.
Nian Shilan is a girl waiting to be married and cannot go out in public before marriage. Yue Zhongqi can only secretly date Nian Shilan.
When Nian Gengyao found out about this, he chose to turn a blind eye to the young couple in love.
In the autumn of the 49th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Nian Shilan married in grand ceremony from the Nian Mansion. After marriage, the two loved each other deeply. However, both Yue Zhongqi and Nian Shilan were warned by Nian Gengyao not to have children too early. Look at the eldest wife of the Prince of Zhi, who had given birth to children one after another, which shortened her lifespan and all the children she gave birth to were sickly.
Yue Zhongqi and Nian Shilan both agreed, and the other members of the Yue family had no objections.
In the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Nian Shilan became pregnant and gave birth to Yue Huan, the eldest son.
At this time, the crown prince had been imprisoned for life in the Xianning Palace, and the Prince of Zhi withdrew from the fight for the throne. Now, the party of the Eight Princes was the most excited in the court.
Nian Gengyao couldn't help shaking his head as he watched half of the officials recommend the Eighth Prince as the Crown Prince. Couldn't these people see that Emperor Kangxi was deliberately setting out the bait?
Nian Gengyao secretly glanced at the calm and composed Fourth Master, and thought to himself: He is a patient man.
After secretly glancing at Kangxi, who looked gloomy on the podium, he silently mourned for the Eighth Prince.
Emperor Kangxi never thought of letting him succeed to the throne.
As expected, in the end Emperor Kangxi imprisoned the Eighth Prince in his palace and completely kicked him out of the team competing for the throne.
Now the Fourth Master's advantages gradually emerged. In the 55th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the Eighth Prince handed over all his connections to the Fourteenth Master, allowing the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master, two brothers with the same mother and father, to fight against each other.
In the 60th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, most people in the court knew that Prince Yong was a foregone conclusion as the next emperor.
Zhang Tingyu and Nian Gengyao are now in high positions, and Prince Yong values them very much.
In November of the following year, Emperor Kangxi died in Changchun Garden, and Prince Yong ascended the throne.
That year, his sister and his wife were both six months pregnant.
During the national mourning period, everything was kept simple in terms of food and clothing. Although no meat was allowed, fortunately Nian Gengyao had collected many medicinal food recipes over the years, which he secretly gave to his wife and Nian Shilan to nourish their bodies.
Just like in the dream, in the autumn of the first year of Yongzheng's reign, during the national beauty contest, Nian Gengyao also met Zhen Yuandao and Zhen Huan.
Zhen Yuandao's position was the Minister of Dali Temple. His duties had no intersection with Nian Gengyao, but did have some intersection with Zhang Tingyu.
Nian Gengyao was a reserved person, and Zhang Tingyu was happy to be on good terms with him. During a drinking session, if Zhang Tingyu had not mentioned Zhen Yuandao, Nian Gengyao would have almost forgotten about him.
Now his sister and brother-in-law are in love and have four children. Nalan has also given birth to four sons for him. His family and his sister have a happy married life, which makes him forget that the woman who looks like Queen Chunyuan is about to appear.
But this time, Rouze is just a drop of mosquito blood in the heart of Emperor Yongzheng, who hates her so much that his teeth are itching. I wonder what choice he will make when he sees Zhen Huan, who is similar to Rouze?
On the eve of the selection, the spy who had been keeping an eye on the Zhen Mansion told Nian Gengyao that Zhen Yuandao's daughter Zhen Huan said when she went to the temple to burn incense that she wanted to marry Erlang, the best man in the world, and rejected Wen Shichu's courtship.
Wen Shichu has just entered the Imperial Medical Bureau not long ago. He is Zhen Huan's strongest assistant since she entered the palace, helping Zhen Huan avoid various plots.
Nian Gengyao thought about it. Wen Shichu was a man with relatively traditional ideas. He felt that if Wen Shichu had a family, he would not follow Zhen Huan so wholeheartedly for the sake of his family, right?
However, Nian Gengyao's plan had not yet been implemented. Zhen Huan was directly eliminated in the selection and was scolded by Emperor Yongzheng, who forced her to become a nun.
Without the domineering Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan who understood the language of flowers, Emperor Yongzheng's harem was peaceful.
Yixiu is now pregnant with a son and a daughter, and she did not turn evil and have crazy abortions.
After Emperor Yongzheng came to the throne, he was always busy with state affairs. It was not until the third year of Yongzheng's reign that he favored the concubines selected in the first year of the Yongzheng reign.
An epidemic broke out that year, and Wen Shichu developed a prescription to solve the epidemic and was highly valued by the emperor.
In the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign, both of Nian Gengyao's sons passed the imperial examination and entered officialdom. The Nian family gradually became more powerful. Emperor Yongzheng, who was not in good health, became wary of the Nian family. Nian Gengyao also understood that the emperor was beginning to be wary of the Nian family. During an outing, Nian Gengyao accidentally fell off his horse and severely fractured his left leg. Even after he recovered, it became difficult for him to walk.
Helplessly, Nian Gengyao resigned and Emperor Yongzheng agreed. Fortunately, the Nian family still had young men who had successful careers, so the Nian family did not decline.
In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign, Emperor Yongzheng felt deeply unwell and passed the throne to Crown Prince Hongzhao. Not long after the crown prince ascended the throne, Emperor Yongzheng died.
The new emperor's biological mother, Ulanara Yixiu, also passed away shortly after Emperor Yongzheng died.
Nian Gengyao's four sons eventually became loyal ministers, assisting the new emperor in stabilizing the government.
As for Hongli, Nian Gengyao had met him several times and disliked this self-abased and conceited prince very much. If he inherited the throne, the future of the Qing Dynasty would be in jeopardy.
