Chapter 773 Marry You (4)
Prince Ding's Mansion.
…
There was some movement in Prince Ding's mansion because of this, not to mention the Crown Prince's mansion. Emperor Wenhui wanted to do the Crown Prince a favor and let him build a good relationship with Huangfu Hao, so Huangfu Hao came to the Crown Prince's mansion almost openly, without having to be stealthy to avoid being discovered.
However, what exactly he talked about with the prince at the prince's residence was not something Emperor Wenhui could control.
The prince poured Huangfu Hao some wine and said with a smile, "Brother Huangfu, what do you think of what I just said?"
Huangfu Hao smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and said, "Your plan was really good. I was the bad guy, and you got a good reputation and a beautiful woman."
The Crown Prince remained unperturbed, smiling: "A gentleman should help others achieve their goals. If possible, I would be happy to see Miss Shen Wu become your Crown Princess of Qin, but everyone knows that this is impossible." The Emperor of Qin was not so magnanimous as to marry the daughter of another country's minister to his Crown Prince. The title of Crown Princess not only represents a woman, but also the power of her family. It would be best if she could help the Crown Prince. As a Mingqi native, Shen Miao could not help Huangfu Hao, not to mention that Shen Xin was reluctant to see his daughter marry off to Qin.
Huangfu Hao shook his head: "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say I wanted to take away someone's favor. But..." He looked at the prince: "I am not someone who likes to do good deeds all the time, let alone at the cost of my reputation. If General Shen holds a grudge against me later, I will be in a very difficult situation."
The Crown Prince laughed upon hearing this. Huangfu Hao was also a shrewd man and quickly understood the benefits involved. Reputation was of no use in Ming Qi, not to mention that marrying Shen Miao was not a major evil. With just a word, both Emperor Wenhui and the Crown Prince would owe Huangfu Hao a favor. Why not do it? Of course, how this favor would be exchanged was unknown to Emperor Wenhui. This was the Crown Prince's idea, and it all depended on how important this marriage was to the Crown Prince.
"Brother Huangfu, do you have any difficulties?" the prince asked with a smile.
"It's not a big deal, but I'm sorry to embarrass you." Huangfu Hao sighed and pretended to be worried. "Although I am the Crown Prince of Qin, every commoner has their own problems, let alone me. Father treats me very well, but my brothers are not easy to worry about. If one day my brothers and I have a dispute..." He gave the Crown Prince a meaningful look and said, "If that happens, please lend me a hand."
The Crown Prince was stunned at first, then mentally cursed Huangfu Hao for his cunning. Succession struggles occur in every country, especially in those with many princes. But Huangfu Hao's point was, if ever there were an internal conflict within the Qin royal family, and Huangfu Hao were to seize the throne, the Crown Prince must lend a hand. How could a Mingqi Crown Prince aid the Qin Crown Prince in his struggle for the throne? The only option was to borrow troops.
Huangfu Hao really has a good plan.
Huangfu Hao saw him hesitate and smiled: "What are you hesitating about? Isn't what I'm doing for you the same as mine?"
The Crown Prince shuddered and looked at Huangfu Hao without saying a word. If this succeeded, Shen Miao would marry him, and the Shen family would be tied to his Crown Prince's Mansion. With the support of the Shen family, the Crown Prince's strength would only increase greatly, and it would add an important weight in the fight for the throne. Now that Huangfu Hao was helping him, wasn't that helping him win the throne?
In this way, it seems that the conditions offered by Huangfu Hao are not so unacceptable. After all, he gets more in this matter.
The prince made up his mind and said, "Okay. Brother Huangfu has come to my aid this time, and I will definitely not stand idly by in the future."
