Chapter 401: Poor Little Chu

The attendant advised: "Your Highness, this is your first time dealing with government affairs. If you can handle it yourself without relying on the Crown Prince, perhaps His Majesty will look upon you with a higher regard."

Bei Jingyu was stunned.

He knew that he could not compare with his elder sister. She was the brightest sun in Dai Viet. Since she came into this world, she had firmly suppressed the light of others.

The faint light of the stars and the moon can only show its brilliance in the night sky, in the gaps when the sun sets.

It’s not that I haven’t been jealous before, but the process from being dissatisfied to being disappointed is a quick but difficult one.

If there weren't other than the royal heir in Hongwenguan, and if there weren't many normal people to compare with, Bei Jingyu would have thought himself to be a waste.

He unconsciously wrinkled the embroidery on the corner of his clothes.

Even though he is not as good as his elder sister or younger brother, he wants to prove that he is at least useful and get praise from his father, saying that he is worthy of being his child.

Seeing that he was wavering, the attendant struck while the iron was hot, "The aristocratic families headed by Chang said that they are willing to share your worries and use their private residences to entertain guests."

Bei Jingyu nodded slowly.

He thought that it should be fine as he was just borrowing the mansion.

Prince Xinluo was arranged to live in Chang's house.

Xindu Water Town has carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and towers.

The terrifying thing about the aristocratic families is that even if they are weakened, their wealth and power are still huge.

He only bowed his head and paid homage to the Yuebei clan.

For a moment, Prince Xinluo thought he had come to the legendary wonderland.

Chang's servants saw their reactions and felt a sense of pride.

Look, the princes of other countries all look ignorant when facing the mansions of the Vietnamese Dynasty, but he lives here every day, so in a sense he is more noble than the princes.

The group of people had no idea that their embarrassing appearance was being seen, and they no longer cared about their image and were dazzled by the beautiful scenery before them.

I just regret that I don’t have enough eyes to see.

Prince Xinluo asked with a mumbling sigh.

The accompanying ceremonial officer translated: "Is this the royal palace of Dai Viet? It is true that only a rich country can build such a palace."

The servant tried his best to suppress his smile and turned it into a polite one, and replied: "Don't say that nonsense. It's just a minister's residence. How can it compare to the magnificence and solemnity of the imperial palace?"

"Didn't the prince enter the palace when he met the third prince? Why would you ask such a question?"

Prince Xinluo certainly knew that he had left the palace. The palace was as majestic and magnificent as a temple.

This place is as elegant and refined as a misty water town, and the two styles are completely different.

But he subconsciously thought that only the emperor could afford to live in such an exquisite mansion.

Is this just a minister's residence?

The little prince lowered his head in shame, feeling like an ignorant and arrogant frog in a well.

Of course, Bei Jingchu knew that there was not enough accommodation in the post house. She was preparing to contact nearby restaurants, inns and some estates to send envoys to the post house when she heard that Prince Xinluo and his entourage had moved into the Chang family's mansion.

After a moment of shock, he smiled and said, "Well, why not take advantage of something that comes for free?"

Lei Nian'er looked at her expression carefully.

"Don't be sad, Your Highness."

Bei Jingchu:......?

"Which eye of yours saw me sad?"

Lei Nian'er said firmly: "You love your younger brother and sister so much, but the Third Prince is entangled with the aristocratic family and wants to compete with you."

"Even though he definitely won't win, what he did must have chilled your heart."

"I know you don't show it on your face, but you keep your sadness inside."

The way Lei Nian'er looked at her seemed to make her think of her as some kind of pitiful little thing who endured humiliation and had to compromise for the sake of family ties and justice.
