Chapter 1208 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 132
Big Fat Orange is not a person who cannot give up power, maybe he was in the past, but ever since he felt that his civil and military achievements far surpassed the previous emperor and he was worthy of his ancestors, although he is still very diligent, the sense of urgency in him has faded a lot. However, Jiang Xinxin doesn't want to care about these trivial matters because Prince Bao has come to take care of her.
Then Prince Bao discovered that Jianqiu's attitude towards him had returned to what it was before, but he would not ask any questions, as this would only make Jianqiu's impression of him worse.
As a political creature, even one that has not yet fully grown, when it wants to please someone, it can always think of countless ways.
Prince Bao was not the one who personally took care of everything for Jiang Xinxin. He would not ask about Jiang Xinxin's diet and medicine. After all, these were arranged by Jiang Xinxin's confidants. If he asked too much, he might offend Jiang Xinxin's confidants. So he would only ask the imperial physician about Jiang Xinxin's daily condition.
Just like an ordinary family, Prince Bao would come over to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with Jiang Xinxin. They didn't follow the rule of "no talking while eating or sleeping" at the dinner table. They would tell some rumors they knew, or some small stories about the dishes on the table.
At other times, he would also read travel notes to Jiang Xinxin. Whenever Jiang Xinxin showed the slightest sign of tiredness, he would just leave without causing any inconvenience to Jiang Xinxin.
After this operation, except for Jianqiu and Huichun who had followed him for a long time, everyone else in the Old Summer Palace had a different opinion of Prince Bao, and some even showed a tendency to pull down Jiang Xinxin.
However, these vague signs were dealt with by Prince Bao before they could fully emerge.
Of course, Prince Bao did not have the power to deal with the palace servants in the Old Summer Palace, but his biological father was the owner of the Old Summer Palace, Fatty Orange. He only needed to send someone back to pass on the message, and many people disappeared from the Old Summer Palace that afternoon.
Not only Prince Bao wanted to know who was behind this, Jiang Xinxin also realized later that these troubles were coming in waves, which was really annoying.
The sticky rod in Big Fat Orange's hand was very useful. Although it took almost ten days to get a definite result, the result was finally obtained.
"Is it Hongxi?"
This result was really unexpected. Jiang Xinxin carefully recalled her own memories and Yixiu's memories, but she couldn't remember that there was any role for Hongxi in the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Prince Bao could understand. "I heard that Prince Li Mi's eldest son Hong Xi had once plotted to take the throne of the Crown Prince. Although his move now is unexpected, it is not that unbelievable. It's just because the Emperor has been unwell recently."
Jiang Xinxin still didn't believe it in her heart, but to be honest, this matter didn't have that much to do with her, so she accepted the result.
However, Hongxi was deposed from the title of Prince Li, so Dapangju had to adopt Princess Shushen, the only child of Prince Limi and the Crown Princess, as his adopted daughter, and named her Princess Heshuo Shushen. He then sent her to the Old Summer Palace to serve Jiang Xinxin during her illness.
Jiang Xinxin didn't remember much history of the Qing Dynasty, and didn't know in which year the only daughter of the deposed crown prince and the crown princess was born, but Princess Shushen was almost eighteen years old now.
Her father and brother are unreliable, her biological mother has passed away, and she doesn't even know if it is a good thing for her to be able to leave Xian'an Palace.
But Jiang Xinxin saw that she had a beautiful appearance and dignified manners, which showed that the Crown Princess had put a lot of effort into her upbringing when she was alive.
No matter what, Jiang Xinxin showed her kindness to the prudent princess: "Princess, please live in Shangxia Tianguang. It's closer to Louyue Kaiyun, and there are some beautiful views there in winter."
"You don't have to come in the morning. I can't get up by myself. Just come and chat with me after breakfast. If you are free, you can ask Prince Bao to take you around the garden."
"Otherwise, it would be good to go to Changchun Garden and talk to the concubines. Princess Hengti also lives there, but she is young, so I'm afraid you sisters won't be able to get along with her."
No matter what Princess Shushen thought in her heart, she showed that she was very appreciative of Jiang Xinxin's enthusiasm.
After the tiring journey, Jiang Xinxin let Princess Shushen go back to settle down. Before leaving, of course, she did not forget to give Princess Shushen a gift, which were some clothes, jewelry, ornaments, food and medicinal materials. The most important thing was of course two thousand taels of silver and a box of gold melon seeds worth ten thousand taels.
The old nanny beside Princess Shushen was also an old lady beside the Crown Princess. After seeing the two thousand taels of silver and the ten thousand taels of gold melon seeds, she finally believed that Jiang Xinxin's enthusiasm was not false. The old nanny couldn't help but sighed: "In the past, I only heard others say that the Queen Mother is a Midas Touch that is more powerful than the Ninth Prince. Now we have really seen the real Buddha!"
Princess Shushen couldn't help but smack her lips.
She herself did not think money was worth anything. Her mother, the Crown Princess, had the largest dowry among all the wives of the princes. However, as the deposed Crown Prince had been imprisoned for more than ten years, her dowry began to shrink year by year. What her daughter got was only a few thousand taels of silver and some dull-colored and outdated jewelry.
But seeing that Jiang Xinxin was so generous with tens of thousands of taels of silver when they just met for the first time, Princess Shushen certainly would not doubt Jiang Xinxin's good intentions. After all, if she were a man, there might be some benefits to be gained from her. But she was just a princess, not a real princess, and might not even be married in the future.
That's right, Princess Shushen believed that she would not marry a foreign prince. After all, none of the princesses and princesses who had married before went to marry a foreign prince. Even if they married Mongolians, they all stayed in the capital and had no intention of living on the grassland.
So the question is, if Jiang Xinxin was not really kind and amiable, what could Princess Shushen have done to Jiang Xinxin?
"The Empress Dowager is so kind. I heard that Aunt Chaogui was almost sent to Dzungar to marry a foreign prince. It was the Empress Dowager who mediated the matter and allowed Aunt Chaogui to stay in the capital and marry Yue Xing'a of the Tonggiya clan."
"Although I am only the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, according to the Empress Dowager's usual style, I will not marry into Mongolia in the future. Even if I want to marry, it will probably be Mongolia that sends someone to the capital."
"So, Mammy, I have to seize this good opportunity now. I can't let our Prince Limi's Mansion be completely silent."
The old nanny only half agreed with Princess Shushen's words. "The princess is now grown up, and it is normal for her to be willing to consider her brothers and sisters. But Prince Hongxi has just done something, and it is not easy for Prince Limi's Mansion to step in. Princess, don't be like some women in the folks who want to move everything from your husband's family back to your parents' home. It is enough to prevent Prince Limi's Mansion from being bullied by others."
