Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 529 A Perfunctory Bet

[It shouldn't be called an adopted son, it should be a foster son. He is listed as a biological son in the imperial edict, but in reality he is not. It can only be said that it is not too outrageous. Moreover, the fourth brother, who is the emperor, clearly has secret guards. When the leader of the secret guards went to check whether Zhen Huan had cheated on him, he was knocked down by a brick by a young eunuch who had only learned martial arts for a few years beside Zhen Huan! ]

Fourth Master: ...So useless!

Yinzhen's eyes were filled with smiles. He was shocked when he heard it for the first time. If his fourth brother was so easy to fool, how could he lose in his previous life? That was absolutely impossible!

Moreover, he plotted to make his fourth brother favor an ugly palace maid, who was actually under the command of the emperor. How could he, his tenth brother, and his eighth brother do such a bold thing?

Are they looking for death?

But if Fourth Brother is so easy to scheme against, how could they lose?

Pooh!

The Fourth Master no longer wanted to speak. His reputation in later generations was completely ruined, but fortunately there were still many people in later generations who knew that it was not true and felt sorry for him!

Although this dinner gave the Fourth Master a bit of a heart attack, he was generally very satisfied with it.

Wen Yao and Yinzhen Yin? were also very happy. After lying down, Yinzhen couldn't help laughing when he thought of his fourth brother's face after dinner, "Yaoyao, why are you talking about Hongli suddenly?"

"I just want Fourth Brother to think clearly about whether he really wants to let Hongli be born or not. I don't know much about Hongli. What I know about him is all from TV dramas. Those are not real history. They are even completely fabricated. You see, the TV drama adaptations of Fourth Brother are even more outrageous. So I want Fourth Brother to know that I really don't know much about history. What I know is all described in various TV dramas."

Wen Yao told her what she knew and let Fourth Brother make his own judgment. Don't let him regret it after Hongli is harmonized. Don't take the responsibility.

"Fourth brother won't do that," Yinzhen still holds a grudge, but he knows Fourth brother well. "He won't take his anger out on others. He's a stubborn person... I guess you can say that. You don't have to worry about him throwing the responsibility onto other people. If there's a problem with his own path, it's his own fault. Fourth brother will never blame others."

This is the Fourth Brother. Even if there are court officials who betray him, the Fourth Brother will not blame others for not telling him when they know the truth, or blame the court officials for betraying him. After all, it is driven by interests. Without interests, who would be willing to do such a thing!

"Prevention is better than cure. Say what you should do and say, so you won't regret it when something really happens." Wen Yao doesn't believe in absolutes. She likes to prevent trouble before it happens, to be a villain first and a gentleman later, to explain the details of the matter clearly, and to state all the countermeasures in advance. Whether others accept it or not is their own business, and there will be no wrangling when the time comes!

Otherwise, if something really goes wrong in the end, whose fault is it? Everyone will feel wronged. After all, if you think about it on everyone, you will really feel wronged, so it is better to say it in advance to avoid such a thing from happening.

It's just that some people would feel embarrassed and think that she is too calculative, but Wen Yao likes it this way. Now when she cooperates with everyone else to open shops and farms, Wen Yao does the same. All the details will be written in the contract, even the one with Kangxi.

"Tangtang, you can't force your opinion on others. It's better to discuss things in advance," Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "Look, Tenth Brother doesn't mind. He feels very happy. Tenth Brother has such a good relationship with you. He won't feel that you exclude him."

Wen Yao knew what Yinzhen was worried about and thought that doing so was inappropriate and would push people away.

"You are right. It is enough to have one person who treats you sincerely in life. I don't need to be too greedy. Now I have a wife, Yaoyao, and a loyal brother, the tenth brother. It is enough!" Yinzhen did not bother about whether what he insisted on was right or not. He knew and saw what he had done to his own Yaoyao. Thinking about how he got along with the eight brother before, it would have been better to just say it in advance!

But it also depends on the situation, and you have to judge it yourself. After all, the person he is dating is different from the one Yaoyao is dating.

"By the way, do you think Fourth Brother can really favor Fourth Sister-in-law all the time? What about Nian?" Yinzhen was very curious. Nian was less than ten years old now, and it would take several more years before she could be married off to Fourth Brother's backyard.

"It is true that Nian was favored. From the time Nian entered the mansion until her death, she was the only one who gave birth. Was she the only one favored at that time?" Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen in confusion, "Right?"

"It's impossible that she was the only favorite. At that time, my fourth brother's sister-in-law was still alive. From what I remember, my fourth brother respected her very much. She was unique to my fourth brother. Even Nian couldn't compare to her. But apart from my fourth sister-in-law, Nian was basically the only favorite." Yinzhen thought for a while, "As for the real situation, I don't know, but this is what I found out. Nian probably had some health problems when she was young, and none of her three sons and one daughter survived."

"Is there a possibility that it's revenge?" Wen Yao thought of the four sons of Concubine Rong who died young. Why was Princess Rongxian, the middle one, able to survive, but the other princes could not?

"You mean someone secretly attacked? I can't hide it from my fourth brother," Yinzhen frowned, "The problems that the emperor encountered in the early days were because of Wu Sangui and other forces. At that time, the country was in doubt due to the young ruler, and the rampant Bai Lian family led to the emperor not being able to completely control the harem."

"That's true," Wen Yao nodded, "After all, Fourth Brother has the Blood Dropper, maybe it's really because of Nian's body, but there is another possibility, which is the matter of the tranquilizing soup mentioned before. Although it is banned now, it didn't exist in the past life."

"Perhaps, these are just unsolved mysteries. I am just curious whether Nian will return to my fourth brother's residence," Yinzhen narrowed his eyes with interest, "Shall we make a bet?"

"Okay, then I'll beat...what are you going to beat?" Wen Yao thought for a long time and couldn't decide whether to beat Nian into the mansion or not. She was very conflicted.

"Grandpa, I think Fourth Brother will definitely let Nian marry into the mansion," Yinzhen thought for a while. The Nian family members were both civil and military, especially Nian Gengyao and Nian Xiyao. Moreover, Nian Gengyao was a civil official who turned into a military general and even became a great general. After forty-nine years, no one could guarantee that Second Brother would still be trusted by the Emperor.

Although a lot has changed, if they were to follow in the footsteps of their previous life again, it would depend on who the Nian family would be loyal to. Now that the fourth brother is the legitimate son, I am afraid that even if the fourth brother does nothing, the Nian family will still be loyal to him, and naturally Nian will enter the fourth brother's backyard!

If the second prince still has the trust of the emperor, then the fourth brother may always stick to it.

"Then I bet that Fourth Brother will definitely not let Nian Shi enter the mansion," Wen Yao echoed, "By the way, did Geng Shi also enter the mansion?"

"Hong Zhou?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "Why are you mentioning him? Didn't you say he never fought for that position?"
