Chapter 1500: A Gamble
However, a monarch must respect the hierarchy. The second prince may be good at leading troops in battle, but being careless and getting along well with his subordinates is definitely not what a qualified monarch does.
Because people who are not particular about details are often willful, do not like to be bound, and act recklessly. It is absolutely a disaster for such a person to be a king.
As the son of the current queen, the third prince is the legitimate son of the imperial palace and has great dignity. He is gentle, elegant, knowledgeable and talented. He makes friends with many scholars and has the best reputation among the civil servants and scholars except for the crown prince.
However, Shao Yunduan accidentally learned one thing. In order to get a set of celadon porcelain tea sets that suited his taste, he ordered the craftsmen to fire them repeatedly, which took three years and cost more than 60,000 taels of silver.
Seeing Shao Yunduan in a daze, with his eyes seemingly a little confused, Qiao Xuan was shocked!
The reason why she asked such a question was just a whim. She didn't expect that it would make her husband go crazy.
"My husband, I just said this casually. It's actually completely meaningless. Please don't think too much about it!"
Qiao Xuan gently tugged at Shao Yunduan's sleeve.
Shao Yunduan suddenly came back to his senses and forced a smile, "I didn't think too much about it, I just thought of something else."
Seeing that his eyes had regained clarity, Qiao Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly changed the subject with a smile, saying that she was sleepy, so she took him to rest.
Three days passed in a flash. Ding Xiang was reluctant to leave Qiao Xuan, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.
Mianmian and Aye were also a little sad. They were born and raised in Hu Ning City. Once they left, they might never come back.
Although I don’t have any good memories here, it is still my hometown after all.
Ever since that day when she was nearly poisoned to death by Qiu He, Qiao Wei suddenly became quiet and honest. She locked herself in her room every day, not making any noise or wandering around looking for trouble.
Qiao Xuan secretly told Mianmian and Aye not to let their guard down and to keep a close eye on Qiao Wei, not letting her get into any accidents no matter what.
Watching the marriage envoy team slowly go away and gradually disappear at the end of sight, Dingxiang tilted her head and smiled at Meng Wanfu.
Meng Wanfu told Ding Xiang everything he had discussed with Shao Yunduan. Ding Xiang did not object.
She did think about it, but she also knew that due to their status, she and her husband were destined to be inseparable from Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan. She might as well take a gamble.
If they win the bet, they can be guaranteed a life of wealth and glory. If they lose... it will take time for the changes in the capital to spread here. This period of time is enough for them to calmly make arrangements and get out of here safely.
Just take a gamble and secretly arrange a retreat.
If you have money and people, you won't have to worry about not being able to live a carefree life.
The world is so big, and transportation, communication, and information transmission are so backward. If you really find a place to change your appearance and start over, the possibility of being discovered is almost zero.
Besides, they can only be regarded as marginal figures, and they can just run away. No matter who the new ruler is, he will not spend too much time on them.
But she hoped that the day of running away would not come. If there was a day, she hoped to be with Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan and the others. Being with them would definitely not be monotonous...
"I talked a lot with Sister Qiao and learned a lot about the village. Old Meng, I really want to go back now!"
Lilac's eyes rolled and she said with a giggle.
Meng Wanfu thought about the Meng family's troubles and said, "Then go back. Go back for me and deal with them!"
