In the video, Wen Yanping sat there for a few days and figured out a lot of things.

After that, he started writing and drawing on paper.

What he writes is not something else, writing is exactly what he wants.

He considered it over and over again before writing down a few requests.

Wen Yanping made an appointment with Liu Siyuan.

Liu Siyuan already knew that He Feier had entered the palace.

When Liu Siyuan saw Wen Yanping again, he seemed to have lost all his energy and just sat there without saying a word.

Although Liu Siyuan sympathized with Wen Yanping, he could not help him and could only comfort him:

"Master Wen, things have come to this, you need to be more open-minded.

Since the prince has agreed to compensate you, you should think carefully about what you want?

Whether it's money or power, as long as it's not excessive, the prince can agree to it.

Have you thought it through? "

Wen Yanping then said:

"I've thought about it."

"Oh? Then tell me what your requirements are?"

"First, the prince sent me a skilled doctor to cure my father and my elder brother.

Second, I want to be the Second Prince’s aide.

Third, I want 50,000 taels of silver."

Liu Siyuan was very surprised. He had previously thought that giving Wen Yanping a space to display his talents would mean having him follow him and serve as his aide.

I didn't expect Wen Yanping to have such a big appetite. He wanted to be the second prince's aide directly.

After hearing this, Liu Siyuan said:

"The first and third points are easy to handle. I can promise you on behalf of the Second Prince.

But the second point needs to be asked first."

"Then ask the Second Prince and then get back to me."

"Can I ask why you want to be the Second Prince's staff?"

“I thought about it for a long time before making this decision.

Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you.

Before, I disdained to rely on a woman to do this, but things have come to this point, I have to plan for myself.

I thought that in a few months, I would take part in the imperial examination. Even if I got into the top three and took part in the palace examination and was chosen by the emperor as the number one scholar, I would still have to start as a minor official. Without connections, it would be difficult and slow to get promoted.

Now that I have this opportunity, why don't I join the Second Prince's school directly? If I can pass the imperial examination, my starting point will be much higher. The prince will be my support. If I become the prince's retainer, as long as I have outstanding talents, I will definitely be promoted. In this way, my promotion will be much faster."

"You are honest."

“This is what I really think.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad after losing the woman I loved.

Therefore, in the short term, I have no intention of marrying or taking a concubine.

Since I can't catch the person I like, I might as well let him/her go.

If I don't talk about feelings, I will put all my energy into my future.

Since there is a shortcut, why shouldn't I take it?

I am sure that Lord Liu will also convey what I said today to His Majesty.

I say this to show my feelings. If I become the prince's aide, I will do my best to assist him."

Liu Siyuan nodded:

"I understand your idea."

"Then I'll wait for your answer."

"good."

After Wen Yanping said this, he left. He really had no intention of having dinner with Liu Siyuan.

As soon as he saw Liu Siyuan, he couldn't help but think of He Feier...

The Second Prince was also surprised when he heard that Wen Yanping wanted to be his aide, but after listening to Wen Yanping's words, he understood.

The Second Prince sneered:

"I thought you were so noble? You are just like this. You are just trying to take shortcuts.
