Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1159 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 83

Human greed is endless.

Big Fat Orange originally bought 60% of the shares and distributed them among himself. He also kept 20% for himself. He was quite satisfied with the royal family and dignitaries he had won over.

But those who didn't catch up with this wave of good things chose to turn around and stare at the two ingredients in Jiang Xinxin's hand.

As the Third Lady Qingying has been a frequent visitor to Jingren Palace recently, of course some people have tried to probe her, so as soon as she noticed something was wrong, she told Jiang Xinxin everything.

There were a lot of things going on before the New Year, and Jiang Xinxin certainly had some feelings. Who among those ladies could resist probing them? The truly steady people also hid in the back, watching the people rushing forward, waiting for Jiang Xinxin's response.

Qingying really cared about Jiang Xinxin, so after some hesitation, she finally expressed her thoughts: "Empress Dowager, you have no children. Although the princes and princesses in the palace are all your children, you can't count it this way."

"You have too much money in your hands. Even if you are the Empress of the Central Palace and the Mother of the Qing Dynasty, don't you think there are not enough people watching you secretly?"

"So your daughter-in-law hopes that you can find a child among the younger generation and adopt him to your eldest brother. Even if you just spread the word, it can make you quiet down for a while."

Qingying had a good idea. Adopting a child to the eldest prince Honghui was no small matter, because Honghui was now the legitimate son of the queen, and the son under his name would naturally be the eldest grandson of Dapangju.

You have to know that the eldest son of the deposed crown prince, Hongxi, also coveted the position of the crown prince. If such a big piece of delicious pie is thrown out, there will definitely be a lot of fish that can be caught. At the same time, the help of Fat Ju can also be used to clear the obstacles for Jiang Xinxin.

What Qingying is most worried about right now is that Jiang Xinxin will not consider her proposal at all because she does not want to disturb her beloved son's peace.

Qingying had a good idea. Jiang Xinxin would not agree to take such a roundabout approach. Firstly, she was the kind of person who would face difficulties head-on. Secondly, although Yixiu herself had no requirements for Honghui's affairs, she would definitely not want to see an outsider like her alleviate her own difficulties in the name of Honghui.

In fact, some smart people have already thought of using the eldest prince Honghui to seize the 20% share from Jiang Xinxin. Even Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi had this idea, but in the end they suppressed their greed and chose to become allies with Jiang Xinxin.

Especially Concubine Hui, she was sent away by Fat Ju to be taken care of by Prince Lian Hongwang in his old age. She couldn't even see her grandson Hongyu often. To put it bluntly, her grandson Hongyu was the real lonely man, because Hongwang at least had the Ninth Prince's mansion to take care of him, but Hongyu was really close to Hongwang, the only one besides her grandmother, who had to rely on others to take care of him.

The idea of ​​letting Hongyu follow Jiang Xinxin's path to plot against Honghui just popped into Concubine Hui's mind, but she suppressed it herself.

She herself had given birth to a child. If her child died young and was used by someone to plot against her, she would really want to tear off that person's flesh and blood piece by piece.

But Queen Jiang Xinxin seems to have many shortcomings, and it's hard to figure out how to deal with her when you really want to. It's really tricky.

After much thought, Concubine Hui could only take the birthday gifts prepared by Hongyu and Hongwang and show her face in front of Jiang Xinxin more often. She could not get involved in the wool business, but she must not give up the job of managing the trip to and from Mongolia.

Concubine Yi really thought about adopting a son for Jiang Xinxin's child who died young, but unfortunately her two sons did not have many offspring, and her grandchildren were still young. After much consideration, she had no choice but to give up. Besides, Prince Heng and the Ninth Prince did not agree to adopt out their children and grandchildren.

Especially the Ninth Prince, not only does he have four shares, his two legitimate daughters have six shares in total, and he also organizes female workers to knit sweaters. In addition, the pastures of his two sons-in-law have also expanded a lot. It really is true that from the source to the final product, every link is making money.

Although people like them have low moral standards, that is towards their subordinates. Everyone has to behave themselves in the same level circle. If they still scheme against Jiang Xinxin after receiving such a great favor from her, then they really have no way to live.

The Ulanara clan was also restless. Lady Nabul, Qingying's biological mother, could not help but complain to Qingying every time she came to the palace. At first, Qingying could persuade the clan through her mother not to completely break off relations with Jingren Palace and not to disregard any feelings for the sake of money.

But after a long time, the Nabul couple could no longer persuade them. Fortunately, their family was the only one in their clan that was qualified to enter the palace for an audience, otherwise Jiang Xinxin would have seized the opportunity to attack Ulanara.

While everyone was trying to find ways to show their courtesy to Jiang Xinxin, the Fourth Prince Hongli's behavior was a breath of fresh air. He still maintained the frequency of only paying respects during his days off, and on a daily basis he still sent some food or gadgets from outside the palace, which made Big Fat Orange look up to him.

As for other concubines who had children, they just became more enthusiastic towards Jiang Xinxin and went to Jingren Palace more often.

For those who have sons, Jiang Xinxin controls such a lucrative business, who wouldn’t want to get involved?

If you have a daughter, don’t you want to prepare more dowry for her?

Especially Concubine Rou, she has a poor family background, and her parents' family not only cannot subsidize her, but she has to subsidize her instead. Even if Concubine Fu's parents can give her some tribute, how can that be enough? She has personally experienced the pain of having no money, so now she is only thinking about making plans for her son and her parents' family.

Concubine Rou was dazzled by Jiang Xinxin's wealth, which was comparable to the national treasury, but Concubine Fu was very sober and made a special trip to persuade her.

"Sister, Madam, have you forgotten the Queen's temper? You saw with your own eyes how arrogant Concubine Nian was, but a concubine with such an outstanding family background and the most favored concubine in the harem was dealt with by the Queen with just a few words!"

Concubine Rou still refused to give up, "But my background has already implicated the Eighth Prince. How can you ask me to give up this great opportunity that has been placed before my eyes?"

Fu Guiren couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, everyone has their own way of living. Right now, the Eighth Prince is still young, and the most important thing for us is to let the Emperor and the Empress pay more attention to the Eighth Prince, so that he can get more subsidies when he leaves the palace to build a mansion in the future. If we offend the Empress early, Your Majesty, the trouble we can make with the allowance alone will be enough to make us drink a pot of water!"

Concubine Rou was really reluctant to part with the wealth in Jiang Xinxin's hands. She rubbed the handkerchief in her hand and murmured, "I understand the truth, but the queen has no children and has a bad relationship with her family. What does she need so much money for? My Eighth Prince is also the queen's son. Why can't she spend some money on him?"

Fu Guiren didn't dare to persuade her any further. Roupin looked like she was possessed by a demon and it was really scary. If Fatty Ju hadn't issued an edict regarding concubines of bannerman origin, she could have been tougher on Roupin. But ever since her parents were moved out of the Imperial Household Department, the entire family had actually given up on her.

Her good life now is possible because of her closer relationship with Concubine Rou, the concubine who gave birth to a prince.
