Chapter 538: 538 is endowed with great fortune
On the other hand, Ye Jiu was beginning to consider what gifts she should bring ho.
Months had passed since she left ho, and by now, the house should have been built, right?
So when she returned, she would likely have a big house to live in.
Her parents were surely worried about her too?
The younger mbers of the family must have missed her as well, after all, she hadn’t neglected them when she was at ho.
Especially little Qingzhi and Qinghua. Qingzhi, following her mother, probably didn’t have any issues, but Qinghua, though not ill-intentioned, often caused her elder sister-in-law headaches with her sharp tongue.
…
Prince Jing hurried to Huguo Temple on horseback as fast as he could.
What he received, however, was news that Master Ling Yuan had been invited out by a friend.
Prince Jing was angry but also helpless; all he could do was wait.
This wait lasted until the next morning.
Seeing Prince Jing’s dark and impatient face, Master Ling Yuan could only apologize, “Last night, I lost track of ti competing in the art of Go with a friend. As the night grew late, I stayed over at my friend’s place. I am truly at fault for making you wait so long, Your Highness.”
What could Prince Jing do?
He couldn’t be angry; on the contrary, he had to ask politely.
This old monk was soone even his Imperial Father had to respect, let alone him, a re prince.
Princely Heir Jing did not act rashly; instead, he inquired earnestly about the shocking affair.
To his surprise, the result confird that the affair was indeed true.
Prince Jing was genuinely saddened. Although the Imperial Physician hadn’t lied to him, the astonishing occurrence of such a mysterious condition afflicting his Princess Consort left him unable to describe his current vexing emotions.
The old monk couldn’t ride a horse, so he had to travel by carriage, which jolted and shook all the way back to the city, arriving around midday.
Sitting in the carriage, Master Yuan Ling sniffed his nose and said, “Well… Prince, the day is getting late and I haven’t even had breakfast…”
He left the rest for Prince Jing to consider.
Unexpectedly, Prince Jing was not very accommodating, “We will soon arrive at the Royal Residence. After I have examined the Princess Consort, I will ensure a rich vegetarian feast is prepared for Master Yuan Ling.”
Master Yuan Ling’s face darkened in an instant, and he stroked his bearded chin, “That won’t be necessary, but…”
Master Yuan Ling was lifting the carriage curtain and sniffing the delicious aromas from outside. He was about to speak when his gaze suddenly shifted, landing on a girl stepping out of a pastry shop, her head covered by a sand hat.
“This girl…” Master Yuan Ling frowned, “actually possesses great fortune…”
Such fortune, he had only encountered once before and then suddenly, it had vanished without a trace.
On the other side of the carriage, Prince Jing’s face turned dark, “I was not aware that Dongyue had so many people endowed with such great fortune!”
Because of the old monk’s prophecy, his son had been made the Princely Heir at birth but unfortunately beca a target for many.
If he hadn’t personally protected the boy for years, whether he would have survived was questionable.
Later, the child proved to be quite dull, prompting another consultation with the old monk.
That ti, the old monk said that the Princely Heir did indeed have fortune, but only slightly more than the average person.
At that mont, Prince Jing could only scoff!
Being his son and the Princely Heir of the Royal Residence already ant having more fortune than the average person, was that not obvious without saying?
Then, rumors spread that the Princely Heir of Jing had exhausted Dongyue’s fortune at birth.
Prince Jing didn’t know who had started the rumor, but he did not investigate further since it was to his advantage.
