TV series: Daily life of male supporting role
Chapter 9: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Gengyao 03
On the night when Nian Gengyao learned the truth about Honghui's death, he had a dream. In the dream, his sister was an arrogant and domineering woman, and her behavior was very similar to his past.
He watched his sister being favored as soon as she entered the palace, and she became pregnant the following year. Unfortunately, the child was killed by a bowl of safflower, and his sister also became ill as a result and could not get pregnant again.
This child was killed by someone.
He also saw Concubine De telling Prince Yong that the Nian family was powerful and would definitely shake the emperor's foundation. She also discussed with Prince Yong how to murder his sister's unborn baby and gave his sister Huan Yi incense mixed with plenty of musk.
Seeing this, Nian Gengyao sneered in his heart. At that time, Prince Yong was not yet the emperor, but he was already thinking of crossing the river and destroying the bridge. Why did he follow such a master?
Yongzheng, Defei and Yixiu, who became the legitimate wife, all knew the secret of Huan Yixiang.
Only his sister was still foolishly thinking that the Huan Yi Xiang was a symbol of Prince Yong's exclusive favor for her, not knowing that it was this Huan Yi Xiang that had ended her qualification to be a mother. The imperial doctors who examined her pulse were all punished, and no one told his sister the truth.
He was also very arrogant and domineering in the dream. From the very beginning, he was guarded against by Yongzheng, who was still a prince. In the end, he was favored and killed by Prince Yong. In the third year of Yongzheng's reign, his entire family was executed. When his sister learned the truth about Huan Yixiang, she was heartbroken and said, "Your Majesty, you have deceived Shilan and made her suffer so much!" Then she hit her head against the wall and died.
The splattering blood woke Nian Gengyao up in shock.
He touched the familiar bed curtain. There was another person on the bed at this time. It was his wife Nalan.
When Nalan saw her husband get up, she thought it was daybreak, so she hurriedly got up and wanted to help him change his clothes, but was held down by Nian Gengyao.
"Madam, you continue to sleep. I'm going to go out for a walk."
Nalan rubbed her eyes, looking at the sky which was still dark, and then looking at the cold sweat on Nian Gengyao's face, she asked in confusion: "Husband, are you having a nightmare?"
Nian Gengyao nodded and tucked the quilt in for Nalan. "I'm going out for a walk. You don't have to wait for me. Go to sleep first."
"Okay..." Nalan was already feeling sleepy and fell asleep soon after.
Nian Gengyao walked out of the room quietly.
When the maid and servant who were on night watch saw Nian Gengyao coming out, they quickly stood up and saluted.
The servant quickly picked up the lantern and followed Nian Gengyao to provide him with light.
At this time, it was the 45th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. His sister was already 11 years old, and in three years she would enter Prince Yong's Palace.
In his dream, his sister entered the palace after Rouze died, and did not experience the days when Rouze was the only favored one. Now Rouze is dead, and Yixiu is the Fourth Prince's legitimate wife. In his dream, Yixiu is just like his sister, and she has never had a child to take care of her in her entire life.
The dream was too real. Some fragmented images were still flashing through Nian Gengyao's mind. His sister was Prince Yong's favorite concubine in the early days. But after the woman named Zhen Huan entered the palace, his sister gradually lost the emperor's favor. No, to be precise, Prince Yong's favor for his sister in the dream was based on his military exploits.
If he made meritorious service, Emperor Yongzheng would favor Hua Fei for a few more days. If he had no meritorious service, Emperor Yongzheng would just throw her aside and ignore her.
It can be said that in the dream, Emperor Yongzheng was an emperor who only knew how to scheme against women. No wonder he was cuckolded by his own woman in the end and was killed by his favorite concubine.
When Nian Gengyao saw the end of Emperor Yongzheng, he just wanted to say loudly, "You deserve it!"
After standing in the yard in the night breeze for half a day, Nian Gengyao's mind became much clearer.
Now that he has entered officialdom, he has not taken sides with any of the princes. Although his family power is under the control of the Fourth Prince, he is a loyal minister who is only loyal to the emperor.
The Nian family is under the Fourth Master's command, and Nian Gengyao works diligently, but Nian Gengyao does not stand on the side of any prince, including not being fawning on his master, so the Fourth Master does not want to win over Nian Gengyao.
Whether in his previous life or in his dream, he first followed the Eighth Prince, then secretly followed the Fourth Prince, and finally Emperor Kangxi arranged a marriage for his sister to enter Prince Yong's Mansion. He, as a member of the Fourth Prince's party, had a clear path in front of Emperor Kangxi.
With this dream as a warning, he thought it would be better for him to be a loyal minister.
The Eighth Prince wanted to recruit him before, and offered him a generous amount of money, but unfortunately he is now determined not to waver and absolutely cannot and will not stand on the Eighth Prince's side.
The Eighth Prince was like a wild animal in the field. After jumping around a few times, he was suppressed by the intolerable Emperor Kangxi. After Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he liquidated the Eighth Prince and gave him a very insulting name.
Nian Gengyao discovered that Chunchen's final outcome was still good, at least he could live to the end.
Those ministers who took sides would eventually be liquidated by Emperor Yongzheng. He would not be foolish enough to take sides. He would rather do his job honestly and wait for Emperor Yongzheng to ascend the throne.
Even if his sister became Emperor Yongzheng's concubine in the future, judging from their family background, she would definitely be a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Now, his sister was in good health according to his education in his previous life. Although she was still bright and lively, she was friendly and virtuous.
He had to make preparations for both situations. In his dream, Rouze was the irreplaceable white moonlight in Emperor Yongzheng's heart after her death. Even that woman named Zhen Huan was just a substitute for Rouze. In order to prevent his sister from entering the palace and being suppressed by a dead person, it would be better to let the Fourth Master know what kind of woman he liked.
He also had to focus on educating Lan'er that she must never be obsessed with love when it comes to love matters. Only when a woman learns to love herself will she be loved by others.
I absolutely cannot let her be like in her dreams, loving one-sidedly a man who does not love her and only schemes against her.
After thinking it through, Nian Gengyao first went to the bathroom to take a bath, then stayed in the study and did not return to his room.
Nian Gengyao thought of Zhen Yuandao and realized that he had never heard of this name in his past or present life. Could it be that this person was still in another place and had not been promoted to the capital?
However, when he thought of Ulanara Rouze who had never appeared, Nian Gengyao felt that Zhen Yuandao might also be a new character, but he didn't know when he could meet him. He remembered that this person seemed to be a minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
