Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1143 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 69

There was nothing special about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but it was not completely ordinary either. At least the lanterns given out as rewards were very popular. The Double Ninth Festival banquet was even simpler. The concubines and wives of the royal concubines gathered together to listen to rare operas and unique scripts, and the festival passed smoothly.

Jiang Xinxin was relaxed. Although she still pretended to be unwell on the surface and even drank a bowl of medicine from time to time, she felt free of worries and felt happy and her body felt much better.

But sometimes life just doesn't allow her to have good fortune. Now, the Fourth Prince comes to visit her after a long absence.

Jianqiu felt her scalp tighten after hearing the report from the little palace maid. After thinking for a while, she reported to Jiang Xinxin who was basking in the sun in the yard, "Madam, the Fourth Prince is here to pay his respects."

Jiang Xinxin ordered directly: "Let him go back. My health is just like this. As long as he studies hard and works for the emperor in the future, I will be satisfied."

Jianqiu did not move, but advised: "Madam, the Fourth Prince is now sixteen years old, and it seems that he should be assigned a palace maid to teach him about human affairs. This time, he may have come here to marry a concubine."

Jiang Xinxin still didn't want to see the Fourth Prince and continued to refuse: "Third Prince Hongshi got married late, and now the couple seems to be living well. It's not too late for the Fourth Prince to wait until the next election."

"As for the palace maids who teach people, go ask what kind of women the Fourth Prince likes. It doesn't matter what kind of personality or appearance I value. What matters is that the Fourth Prince likes them."

Since Jiang Xinxin said so, Jianqiu had no choice but to obey the order and send the Fourth Prince away.

After hearing Jianqiu's words, the Fourth Prince Hongli understood that he would not be able to see the Queen today. Since the Queen had already begun to consider teaching him about human affairs, it would not be long before the people in the Yangxin Palace would notice the fact that he was now grown up. He would not continue to stay in the Upper Study and would start to attend court at the latest in the early spring of next year.

Having achieved his goal, the Fourth Prince left very happily, and his gratitude towards the Queen reached a new level. After all, the Queen was the only one in the harem who had such influence on his adopted father, the Emperor. What's more, Jiang Xinxin was his stepmother. Without his biological mother, he could only cling to his stepmother who was willing to help him.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Xinxin hired a proper master in time, and now the Fourth Prince's temperament is not as weird as the legend says. He is arrogant and conceited, self-abased and proud, which is hard to describe.

For example, now that the Fourth Prince wanted to remind everyone in the palace that it was time for him to get married, he would come directly to pay his respects to Jiang Xinxin and prepare to bring up the matter directly, instead of doing anything shameful in private.

Jiang Xinxin was generally quite satisfied with the Fourth Prince. She had tested it anyway and knew that only the Fourth Prince could ascend to the throne. So even if she gave Qingying to the Third Prince as his wife, the world would still revolve around Dapangju and the Fourth Prince, and the experiences and endings of the others would have little impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxin has no restrictions on what she wants to do. The wool and milk powder should be put on the agenda. There have been many young princes "married" from Mongolia in the past two years. Jiang Xinxin always wants people to see another way to success. Princess Chaogui and the two princesses of the Ninth Prince's family are ready-made good helpers.

On the Double Ninth Festival, while Princess Chaogui and the two princesses were visiting Jingren Palace, Jiang Xinxin talked about wool and milk powder. "I have a way to weave wool. This wool can be woven into yarn and made into clothes to keep out the cold. There will be demand for it in Mongolia, Junggar, or Tibet. The profit is really unimaginable."

Princess Chaogui actually didn’t have much idea. It was just wool, and she couldn’t imagine how much value this thing could create. But the two princesses could vaguely understand how important this thing was.

The two princesses looked at each other, wishing they could ask Jiang Xinxin to come up with a plan immediately. Although their husbands seemed to have been abandoned by Mongolia, they were marrying into the Qing Dynasty after all. It was impossible for Mongolia to provide nothing. They had pastures, cattle and sheep, but the location was really bad and the quality of the pasture was not good enough.

But if wool could be so useful, then their husbands' tiny pasture could be of great use too.

However, the two princesses went back and told their biological father, the Ninth Prince, about the wool matter first. After all, it was a business, and how could they bypass their biological father, the famous God of Wealth?

Jiu Beile was indeed a person who had participated in the previous generation of princes' fight for the throne. Just the two words "wool" and "warmth protection" made him think of the entire industrial chain. He excitedly explained to his two daughters: "Wool is really the cheapest item on the grassland. In spring and summer, sheep will even shed their hair on their own initiative. This thing is not easy to handle. Even the most expensive felt always has an unpleasant smell."

"And what the Queen said must have her reasons. Maybe she has a full set of methods in her hands. I even saw the sheep flocks on the vast grassland like white clouds in the sky, and the horses and cows can only be sporadic embellishments."

"What can you think of when you see such a scene?"

The Ninth Lady immediately took a deep breath, "...So Mongolia can no longer be a threat to the Qing Dynasty!"

The Ninth Prince laughed and said, "Mongolia was never a threat to the Qing Dynasty. After the wool is fleeced, it can only be slaughtered by the Qing Dynasty."

After listening for a long time, the two princesses finally reacted. The Ninth Prince stood up and told the housekeeper to quickly prepare a generous gift. "You two children are indeed blessed in the future. Since the Queen values ​​you, you should just do what the Queen wants. The Queen cannot monopolize such a large business as wool, but she will definitely make a lot of money in the early stage. Your future depends on this."

"However, Ama wants to remind you that when you go back and tell your son-in-law, just say that this is a very profitable business, and don't reveal any more information. If things go wrong, your Ama won't be able to protect your wealth and future."

The two princesses nodded repeatedly. Since it concerned Mongolia's future, how could they be so casual?

It just so happened that Jiang Xinxin's birthday was coming soon. Fatty Orange ordered a simple celebration and all the royal family members went to the palace to attend the birthday party. Princess Chaogui brought the two nieces of the Ninth Prince's family to talk to Jiang Xinxin. When Jiang Xinxin saw the gift lists of the two princesses of the Ninth Prince's family, she realized that they were willing to be at her beck and call.

Since they were going to have contact with Mongolia, they had to say hello to Dapangju in advance. Jiang Xinxin vaguely said that she had a business deal regarding Mongolia to do with the two nieces of the Ninth Prince's family. She didn't know whether it would succeed or not, so she could only test the waters first.

After hearing this, Fatty Orange was just curious as to why they suddenly went to the niece of the Ninth Prince's family. Jiang Xinxin answered seriously, "The two nieces are closer, and their husbands are from Mongolia. They also have the relationship with Prince Heng, so it's easier to talk to them in Mongolia."
