Chapter 73 Everyone Has Their Own Aspirations
Of course, Master Mingxin did not have much trust in Qin Yunchuan, and the correspondence between the two was a process of constant testing.
Now it seems that Qin Yunchuan has never wavered.
Master Mingxin sighed deeply.
He and Qin Yunchuan were once good friends. Later, they each served their own masters, each harboring their own thoughts and murderous intentions, which made people sigh.
Now that Qin Yunchuan is dead, all of this is completely in the past.
"Tell our people to lie dormant for a while."
Master Mingxin decided to be a simple and mediocre fortune teller for the time being.
After solving the problem of Qin Yunchuan, the prince's tutor who had been of great help to the prince, and also helping the teacher avoid the crisis of being injured and fleeing, Lin Hao thought of another person around the prince.
The man's name was Fang Chengji. He had some similarities with the teacher and was a fortune teller.
At that time, Fang Chengji was probably just a nobody, at least she had never heard of him. But three years later, Fang Chengji and the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor Qin Yunchuan were rivals in power and became the two people with the greatest influence on the Crown Prince.
At that time, Emperor Tai'an was ill and the crown prince was regent.
She had no idea what Fang Chengji had done, but when she returned to the capital three years later, she vaguely heard that the incident involving Prince Jing's family was related to this man.
Prince Jing has always protected her, but she even scared him into having a heart attack. She has to do something to make herself feel at ease.
Lin Hao sent someone to Prince Jing's Mansion to deliver a visiting card to the little princess, planning to visit Prince Jing's Mansion the next day.
As their interactions increased, she and the little princess became more and more familiar with each other. When they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, it was not unreasonable for her to ask to say a few words to Prince Jing's son.
As expected, the princess welcomed the guest. But in the afternoon, when Baozhu was taking out several sets of clothes from the box and asking Lin Hao which one he wanted to wear for the guest tomorrow, a letter came from Prince Jing's Mansion.
The princess has something to do and is temporarily unable to receive guests these two days.
This aroused Lin Hao's curiosity, but out of respect for his friend, he did not send anyone to investigate.
After a few days, it was the little princess who came to visit.
Seeing Qi Qiong's complexion, Lin Hao was slightly startled: "What's wrong with the princess?"
Qi Qiong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help complaining: "She's still my cousin!"
She picked up the water cup and took a few sips, her expression a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance. "It's going to get out sooner or later anyway, so I'm not worried about you making fun of me. The day you sent the invitation, the prince came and somehow managed to strike up a conversation with my cousin. Now it's decided that my cousin will be entering the prince's mansion."
The actual situation is, of course, much more embarrassing than what Qi Qiong said.
The prince not only chatted with his cousin, but the two of them were also pulling each other, and were seen by many servants.
The mother was furious. If she hadn't stopped him, he would have confronted the prince directly.
At that time, my mother thought that the prince was unilaterally attracted to my cousin and took advantage of her. When she tried to comfort my cousin privately and promised to find her a good marriage, my cousin burst into tears and said that many people had seen the prince flirting with her and she was too embarrassed to marry again.
Sun Xiuhua was the niece of Princess Jing, so she naturally couldn't just let it go. After the palace found out, they came up with a solution, which was to make Sun Xiuhua a concubine and send her to the Eastern Palace to serve the crown prince.
To put it bluntly, she is the prince's concubine.
Of course, the status and future of the prince's concubine are far beyond that of an ordinary family's concubines. This choice is honey to some people and arsenic to others.
Princess Jing was reluctant to let her niece enter the Eastern Palace to serve the Crown Prince. It was true that the Crown Prince's concubine had a promising future, but how many years would it take for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne? By then, the Emperor's harem would be filled with countless beauties. Could every one of them have a promising future?
More importantly, wouldn’t it be nice for a beautiful girl to find a boy of similar status to be her equal?
When asked what she thought, Sun Xiuhua nodded shyly and aggrievedly.
Princess Jing gradually came to her senses: she didn't want to, but her niece did.
My niece is willing!
Realizing this, Princess Jing felt upset and gave up the idea of making decisions for her niece.
Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced.
"Miss Sun and the Prince?" Lin Hao's expression suddenly became subtle.
I have never heard of this in my previous life.
But this life was different from her previous one. She had her grandmother to rely on, and she had also become friends with the young princess, so the prince also took another path.
The prince frequently visited Prince Jing's Mansion, which gave him the opportunity to come into contact with Sun Xiuhua.
"It's such a pity for Miss Sun." Lin Hao shook his head.
She knew very little about Sun Xiuhua, and from her own perspective, she naturally felt that it was a waste to be a concubine to the prince, a beast in human form.
"What a shame?" Qi Qiong couldn't help but sneer, but then he felt that family disgrace should not be made public, so he changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that. Ah Hao, how have you been lately? Have you been out playing?"
"He's been doing well lately, often wandering around." Lin Hao understood a little from Qi Qiong's reaction to Sun Xiuhua.
It seems that the prince and Miss Sun are willing to fight and be beaten.
"Princess, is the prince in the mansion?"
Qi Qiong blinked: "My eldest brother is at home, what do you want to talk to him about?"
I thought the big brother was just too enthusiastic, but I didn't expect there would be any success!
Seeing Qi Qiong's meaningful smile, Lin Hao swallowed the words he wanted to say openly.
Forget it, it’s better to have less trouble than more, so she should secretly look for Prince Jing.
"Just asking casually. From my impression, the prince seldom goes out."
Qi Qiong sighed: "Brother is—"
She suddenly realized: I can’t say that my brother is in poor health!
Which girl would be willing to marry a sickly guy?
"Big brother is deep and low-key, and doesn't like to show off on the streets."
I'm really sorry about my second brother, but fortunately there's no need to match him up with Ah Hao.
Qi Qiong was in a bad mood and pestered Lin Hao to tell him a few stories. They spent the night until it was almost dark before returning to the palace.
Lin Hao knew that Prince Jing had the habit of taking a leisurely stroll in the depths of the palace garden in the afternoon. The next day, he walked to the wall separating Prince Jing's palace, jumped onto the top of the wall, and quietly looked around.
It turned out to be true, Prince Jing was there.
Secretly looking at the young man with his eyes slightly closed under the osmanthus tree, Lin Hao unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
There were branches sticking out from the top of the wall, with half-withered flowers hanging on them.
Lin Hao casually broke off a branch and threw it towards Qi Shuo with skill.
The flower branch fluttered down beside Qi Shuo, startling the servant standing by and asking, "Who?"
The boy's calm voice came: "What are you yelling about?"
"Prince, there is a hidden weapon!" Changshun cautiously picked up the flower branch that fell on the ground and showed it to Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Is this a hidden weapon?"
Changshun looked around in confusion: "This branch flew here, it didn't fall naturally!"
Unfortunately, he had just taken a nap and didn't notice which direction it was flying from.
"It's the wind that blows here. Don't be suspicious. It's getting a little cold. Go back and get me a blanket."
Changshun reluctantly dispelled his suspicions and left as ordered.
Qi Shuo stood up and looked at the top of the wall.
The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, and after the third time, there is no psychological burden at all. Seeing Qi Shuo send the servant away, Lin Hao turned over neatly.
