Fang Ruotang thought for a while and then agreed, but she made it clear beforehand that since Tianyi Sect had expanded, good things like spirit stones should definitely be given to talented people first, and a small group of capable people should be cultivated first.
However, Fang Ruotang quickly thought of something and smiled as she gave the Second Prince a hint.
"Actually, you can ask the Emperor for it. He has plenty of good things. You are his son after all. He wouldn't be stingy with you, would he?"
The second prince's smile froze.
He's not just stingy, he's practically unapproachable, afraid he might take advantage of him in the slightest. He has absolutely no compassion for his father.
Looking back, he was naive at first, and went to ask his father for help, only to be ridiculed by him instead.
First, they said he was useless, unable to sell his beauty like the Crown Prince, then they despised him for being tongue-tied, unable to be as eloquent as the Emperor himself, able to coax the Grand Preceptor into willingly giving him good things.
In short, they got nothing at all, and instead ran into trouble, getting scolded and humiliated.
"No way! Is the Emperor really that stingy?" Fang Ruotang said casually, not expecting the Emperor to be so possessive of his food. She asked Xiao Jingzi curiously.
Is that really the case?
【yes. 】
[My goodness! I always thought the Emperor was only trying to freeload off me because he had too many people to support—after all, he had so many children and so many women in his harem.]
[What are you thinking! The Emperor is like a miser; he doesn't share any of the good things he has with anyone, not even his own sons, let alone the women in the harem.]
Fang Ruotang: ...
How bizarre!
That's so possessive of their food!
[Among the women in the harem, only the Empress Dowager and the Empress received some elixirs from you, which sets them apart from the other concubines. I wonder if the Emperor would have given them to the Empress if you hadn't?]
"...Probably? One is her biological mother, the other her legal wife."
Fang Ruotang wasn't very confident; she hadn't expected the Emperor to be such an old fogey.
"Then you didn't ask the Crown Prince for it either?"
Fang Ruotang awkwardly changed the question, feeling that the Crown Prince was generous.
The crown prince remained indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever.
The second prince's smile became even more awkward. With the crown prince's aloof and unapproachable demeanor, who would dare to risk their life and covet what he had?
"Why are you so stingy?" Fang Ruotang understood and asked the Crown Prince in a low voice.
As the Crown Prince bent down to listen to Fang Ruotang speak, he glanced at the Second Prince. The Second Prince chuckled awkwardly. It wasn't his fault; he didn't know how the topic had swung to this point, and he hadn't said anything.
"No, I won't give it to you."
Why?
The Crown Prince gave Fang Ruotang a meaningful look, "In order to protect your supreme authority."
He didn't know if Fang Ruotang understood the deeper meaning of his words, but his thoughts were simple: only the unique is precious. As for whether his father wanted to elevate Fang Ruotang or had ulterior motives, he didn't care. In any case, he only mentioned it once, and his father agreed.
【What's the meaning? 】
【have no idea. 】
Fang Ruotang: ...
I don't think you're very smart!
The little mirror felt wronged. It thought it was already very smart. As a spirit that couldn't take human form, it could still help adults analyze some problems from time to time.
"You should cleanse your marrow and tendons first! Here, take these two." Fang Ruotang stopped thinking about it and took out two Marrow Cleansing Pills for the Second Prince, reminding him, "Don't eat them now, they'll smell terrible after you eat them. Wait until we get back and find a secluded place to eat them."
"Very well!" The second prince happily accepted it. "Thank you, Grand Preceptor."
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Fang Ruotang waved her hand.
The second prince took the Marrow Cleansing Pill and went to Shen Qingyue, giving her one on the spot. This not only moved Shen Qingyue, but also the other women present.
The fourth princess seized the opportunity to step forward and said with a smile, "Grand Preceptor, could you please give me two as well? I've asked my father, but he won't help me."
"Alright!" Fang Ruotang took out two more and gave them to the Fourth Princess, then casually asked, "Who are you going to give the other one to?"
"I want to give it to Wei Xuan."
"he?"
Fang Ruotang looked at Wei Xuan, who was standing a few steps behind the Fourth Princess. He was clearly surprised, but soon a look of joy appeared on his face.
“He doesn’t need it! He already ate it.” Even though Fang Ruotang said this, she didn’t take back the other Marrow Cleansing Pill. Instead, she joked, “You can save the extra one for your child later!”
Although Wei Xuan wasn't her number one lackey, he was a very considerate one. Fang Ruotang was always generous to those who could win her favor.
Seeing the Grand Preceptor acting like a money-spending maiden, everyone present was itching to make a move. But the Crown Prince suddenly raised his eyelids and gave a warning look around with a chilling gaze.
In an instant, the crowd, who were just about to take a gamble, felt that there was no point in taking such a gamble. It was more important to save their lives and wait for another opportunity.
After this experience, everyone present vaguely understood a principle: to be the first to try something new, as long as you don't have a criminal record or have done anything evil, the Grand Preceptor is very generous to those who ask her for help.
It is no secret among officials that demons will invade after the start of the year, and all their families know this. The Grand Preceptor must also hope that many talented people will emerge. However, she doesn't interfere much. But if someone comes to her for help, she doesn't mind doing a favor. The rules are even simpler than the assessment at Tianyi Sect.
After the groom brought the bride back, the scene became lively again. Fang Ruotang squeezed into the crowd to watch the ceremony. Seeing her smiling face, the Crown Prince lowered his head and asked, "Did you like it?"
"I like it!"
Receiving blessings from family and friends and getting married to the person you love—this is a wonderful thing that no one would dislike.
But after she finished answering, she realized that the person asking the question was the Crown Prince, and hesitated before saying, "It's alright!"
[Tsk, I dare not say, for fear that the Crown Prince will try to drag me to another marriage.]
"Oh……"
Ye Wuxia chuckled softly.
The crown prince looked at it expressionlessly.
Ye Wuxia didn't even glance at the Crown Prince. Instead, under his gaze, she deliberately hooked Fang Ruotang's hand and whispered, "I like it too."
Fang Ruotang was both shy and scared, so she grabbed his restless hand and glared at him coquettishly. Ye Wuxia's smile became even more cheerful.
The Crown Prince lowered his eyes slightly and saw the two hands twisting together like a pretzel. He glanced at them with a deep look in his eyes, then turned his gaze away expressionlessly and looked at the newlyweds in the middle.
No rush!
He will soon get his revenge on Fang Ruotang.
The prince silently reviewed the current situation of the other five people in his mind. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his palm. A tender white hand was placed in his hand, and the little girl looked up at him with a sweet and soft smile.
never mind!
She's just a child; what did she do wrong?
