Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1169 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 93

Fang Chunyi fell, but the cold medicine she used to harm people has not been found yet. Her confidants admitted that she had tampered with the carriage that Concubine Ning was riding in, but they didn't know where the cold medicine came from.

Big Fat Orange had a preconceived notion that Fang Chunyi was a scheming person and kept many secrets from his confidants, but Jiang Xinxin felt that what was going on behind the scenes might not be that simple. But now that the harem had gone through several purges, it was impossible for anyone to dare to harm the royal heir, especially since the palace servants could make money by knitting. So she felt that Fang Chunyi might not be the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Even after Fang Chunyi and Fang Jiashi fell, Jiang Xinxin could conclude that the mastermind must be outside the palace, or that the main plotter came from outside the palace.

Since it was someone outside the palace who did this, Jiang Xinxin just mentioned it to Da Pangju. Anyway, she couldn't spare that much energy to care about other things, because Da Pangju was finally going to choose someone for the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince.

Big Fat Ju did not want to make a big fuss about this small talent show, but the court officials felt that the Fourth and Fifth Princes were worth the investment, so after the news spread, families from all over the country who were interested in sending their daughters to try signed up their children. Seeing that the number of people was approaching more than a hundred, Jiang Xinxin quickly screened out those who were slightly inferior in appearance and temperament according to the election standards.

But even so, there were still more than 40 concubines left, so Big Fat Ju waved his hand and said, "Why not select concubines and princesses at the same time?"

The Fourth Prince's biological mother was still Li Jingui, a palace maid in the Old Summer Palace, and Li Jingui's entire family was wiped out. Fat Orange now valued the Fourth Prince himself, so he was willing to give him a favor and found a minor official from a branch of the Niuhuru clan to be Li Jingui's adoptive father. So the Fourth Prince went from being born into a Han army banner to being a prince from the orthodox Manchu clan, the Niuhuru clan.

The Niuhulu clan had no complaints and even took the initiative to find a Feng Shui treasured site for the burial of the newly born Niuhulu Jingui. They also wrote to Dapangju to ask for a place for Niuhulu Jingui.

It is true that Big Fat Ju values ​​the Fourth Prince Hongli, and is willing to make the Fourth Prince the son of Nianhulu Jingui in the imperial genealogy. However, Nianhulu Jingui is only willing to give him the position of a concubine. After all, he still wants to use the Fourth Prince to suppress the increasingly restless Fucha and Guaerjia families.

When Niuhuru saw that Da Pangju was only willing to give Niuhulu Jingui a concubine position and did not even mention burying her in the concubine's tomb, she knew that the Fourth Prince might be used by Da Pangju to check and balance the two little princes born to Princess Fucha and Guwaljia, so she no longer had the same enthusiasm for the Fourth Prince as before.

Jiang Xinxin felt that Fatty Ju was committing a sin, but she was just thinking about it in her mind and had no intention of standing up for the Fourth Prince. However, the Fourth Prince took the initiative to go to Jingren Palace for help.

Jiang Xinxin didn't want to think the worst of people right away, except for those who came from top powerful families, so even though she let the Fourth Prince in, her expression was not very good.

When the Fourth Prince saw that Jiang Xinxin looked unhappy, he couldn't help but back out, but he really wanted to marry a legitimate wife who suited his taste, and he also hoped that his concubines and maids would be gentle and well-behaved, so that he could ensure the stability of the harem, so he had to make this trip.

Jiang Xinxin asked directly: "Is the Fourth Prince here for the wedding?"

The Fourth Prince quickly replied, "That's right. Madam, I want to marry a wife who is capable but not cruel. For the sake of peace in the harem, it would be best if this concubine and princess have a gentle temperament."

This request is reasonable, but Jiang Xinxin will not let down her guard and asks again: "Don't you have any requirements for the family background of the future wife and concubine?"

The Fourth Prince answered honestly, "Those who can participate in the selection of wives must have good family backgrounds. I also want to see if I like them, but I don't have any other requirements."

Jiang Xinxin chuckled, "Isn't your request high? You want your wife to be resourceful, kind-hearted, and pleasing to your eyes. You are so demanding. If your wife is not careful, you will despise her. You have a room full of other women to entertain yourself, but she wants to tie the rest of her life, and even the future of her family, to you. What can you give her?"

"I thought you could see clearly from your biological mother Li Jingui's experience how harsh this world is to women, but I didn't expect that you are, after all, a man, a mere vulgar person."

These words were a bit harsh, and the Fourth Prince immediately stood up and knelt down to admit his fault: "Madam, it is my fault. Please forgive me, Madam."

Jiang Xinxin sighed, but called out first, "Wake up, I'm just complaining, and I also want to remind you that no matter how different people are in status, getting along with each other is always mutual."

The Fourth Prince now truly understood what Jiang Xinxin meant, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, Madam, I understand your teachings, and I will definitely work hand in hand with Madam Fu in the future."

Seeing that the Fourth Prince really understood a little, Jiang Xinxin didn't mind saying a few more words: "I will teach you today. It depends on how much you can listen to and how much you are willing to do."

"Your wife must be from a prominent family. She was carefully educated when she was still a boudoir girl. She must have been pampered. It is really unfair for her to be married. So you must give your wife enough respect. As long as she does not do anything to you, your children or other women, you must establish her authority as your wife."

"As for the woman you truly love, to be honest, there is nothing you can't do as long as you have the will. Even if it is beyond human power, it is still okay to let everyone know that the other person is unique and irreplaceable."

"And at this time, if the other person is not your legitimate wife, you cannot harm her. I am talking about the woman who occupies your legitimate wife's position and the person you love."

The Fourth Prince seemed to be lost in thought. To be honest, he was deeply touched by Jiang Xinxin's words. Not to mention the distant relationship between his step-great-grandfather and Empress Xiaoxian, let alone his biological father.

Everyone knows the origin of Queen Chunyuan.

At that time, although his biological father had been crowned king, he still resisted all kinds of pressure and married the engaged Queen Chunyuan as his principal wife, and even ignored the life of his eldest son for her.

To this day, some people in the capital are praising the touching love between his father and Empress Chunyuan, but as a son who has been ignored by his own father for a long time, he naturally has other thoughts in his mind.

After a while, the Fourth Prince responded seriously to Jiang Xinxin's words: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind and will never forget it."

Jiang Xinxin didn't comment, but just said: "Whether you can remember or are willing to do it, I don't care, but since you have made this trip today, I do have other things to suggest."

The Fourth Prince listened attentively. Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "If you want to give birth to a healthy child as soon as possible, choose a princess who is older and less related to the royal family."
