Chapter 203 The Second Master is Confident

The Third Prince pondered for a while, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The effort that He Yanxiu mentioned refers to the position of crown prince, and even the future throne.

The Third Prince was silent again.

The discussion of the succession is indeed something that will happen in the next one or two years. He often has conflicts with the eldest prince and the second prince, but most of the time he is just responding to their calculations to avoid making his and his mother's life more difficult. However, he thinks more about letting nature take its course in the discussion of the succession rather than deliberately arguing for it.

But a prince who doesn’t want to be emperor is not a good prince.

Deep down in the heart of the Third Prince, he had such thoughts. When He Yanxiu mentioned them, the thought was like a thick vine that broke through the dry ground. It covered his entire heart in an instant and imprisoned him tightly, unable to move at all.

His breathing even became a little heavy. It took the Third Prince a while to recover. Seeing He Yanxiu drinking tea calmly, he sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"Everything depends on human effort." He Yanxiu put down the teacup in his hand, "How can you know if you haven't tried it, Your Highness?"

That's right. If you don't try, how can you know that you will definitely fail? The Third Prince nodded slightly and narrowed his eyes. "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble my cousin for help in this matter."

There are many people in the court that he can use, and even more people that he can win over, but those who can stand on his side are nothing more than those with vested interests, and most of them just want to gamble on a good future for themselves. The only one who can always stand on his side is the He family.

"Of course." He Yanxiu smiled. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best."

The Third Prince breathed a sigh of relief.

But after a moment, I felt something was not right.

Although he wanted to compete for the throne, why did he feel like he had fallen into He Yanxiu's trap? If he thought about it carefully, how could he know that He Yanxiu was not urging him, the Third Prince, to charge into battle for the sake of Miss Su, so that he could protect Miss Su in the future? The Third Prince, "..."

It turned out that he wanted to stab his brothers for the sake of beauty!

It’s simply amazing. I have never been so speechless in my life!

The unwilling Third Prince frowned for a long time, then looked at He Yanxiu, whose mouth was full of smiles, and rolled his eyes, "Cousin, you are so deliberate and do everything quietly, I guess you haven't expressed your feelings to Miss Su, right?"

Seeing that He Yanxiu remained silent and looked as if deep in thought, the Third Prince felt that he had guessed the point, and then asked quietly, "Then how did my cousin know that Miss Su must be in love with my brother?"

He Yanxiu, "..."

The teacup in his hand almost slipped, but luckily he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and picked it up easily, without showing any expression, and put it back on the coffee table next to him.

Glancing at the Third Prince, He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "I still have this confidence."

Third Prince, "..."

You win! You are so thick-skinned, you can't beat him! After a while, the shopkeeper reentered the private room and took out several materials needed for making jewelry, asking He Yanxiu and the Third Prince to choose.

Three pieces of jade were taken for the Ruyi, two pieces of rubies were taken, and the rest were agate, white chalcedony, coral, etc.

"Since you want to make a necklace, Master He, these are all brightly colored. They will look even better if they are inlaid on the necklace or have tassels hanging down. Here is a similar sample. Master, you can take a look."

He Yanxiu declined without even glancing at it, "No need, just make it pure gold."

"Well, the portion could be bigger."

If he remembered correctly, Su Yujin was not completely unhappy with jewelry inlaid with various gemstones, but she was more happy than anything else when she saw things made of pure gold or silver.

He Yanxiu had thought about this question before and roughly guessed the answer.

This is probably because jewelry inlaid with gemstones is more troublesome to cash in, as you need to find someone to appraise its value, but pure gold and silver only need to be weighed, and it is real hard currency.

Su Yujin likes things like this that can be used as money.

The shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai was slightly surprised to see He Yanxiu reject his proposal, but he still smiled and said, "Yes, then let's do as Lord He asks."

After going out the door, he couldn't stop shaking his head.

The gold-and-jade ruyi and the gold and ruby ​​headpiece are both excellent, except for the gold necklace which is made to be heavy and not delicate in style, and looks really tacky.

This young Minister He has an unbalanced aesthetic taste... - Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, he was already twenty-three.

Twenty-three, New Year’s Eve.

But this is the official New Year's Eve. If ordinary people want to celebrate it, they have to wait until the 24th.

The 24th day of the 11th lunar month is also called the Kitchen God Festival. In Qinghe, people worship the Kitchen God, eat candy, and make dumplings according to custom...

Su Yujin didn't understand these rules, and neither did Mother Liu and Ai Cao, so the three of them only followed the last two.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The sesame candy sticks to your teeth when you eat it, but it is sweet and fragrant, and you can't stop eating it. The dumplings are filled with three fresh fillings and some shrimp meat, which is also delicious.

Taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, Su Yujin cooked several dishes herself.

Pepper and sesame chicken, squirrel fish, fried spring rolls, steamed glutinous rice and pork ribs, bamboo shoots fried with bacon, baby cabbage with ham in soup, celery fried with dried tofu, and secret Dongpo pork elbow.

After the food was served on the table and the dumplings were put into the pot, there was a knock on the door.

When Ai Cao opened the door, he saw He Yanxiu and Xing'an, who looked cold and dusty.

"Second Master?" Ai Cao hurriedly opened the door and shouted inside, "Miss, the Second Master is here."

He Yanxiu is here? Su Yujin put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, opened the curtain and welcomed him in. She took the heater and handed it to He Yanxiu, and poured him a cup of hot tea. "Second Master, why are you here at this time?"

Logically speaking, the royal family would usually hold a night banquet at the 23rd to entertain civil and military officials, so many officials could not have a reunion dinner with their families until the 24th.

But He Yanxiu came to Qinghe at this time...

"Originally I left home early in the morning, but the Third Prince had to deal with some matters, so I was delayed until the afternoon. I hurried and hurried, and now it's already this time when I got here." After drinking two sips of hot tea, He Yanxiu felt that his breathing had stabilized a little, and then he answered.

Su Yujin, "..."

I'm not asking you why you came here at this time, I'm asking you why you came here today.

"But today's work was not in vain. The Third Prince sympathized with my fatigue and gave me a gold necklace. I saw that this gold necklace was made with great craftsmanship. It is not appropriate for a grown man like me to hold it, so I just gave it to you. It can be regarded as a New Year's gift to you as the New Year is approaching."

As soon as He Yanxiu finished speaking, Xing'an curled his lips.

The Second Master’s ability to tell lies with open eyes is getting stronger and stronger now.
