Chapter 29: 028 Pri Minister Residence’s number one talented lady (10)

Yet… what caught everyone by surprise was that the usually ill-tempered Crown Prince did not get angry this ti.

Even his escorts seed to get along famously with Mo Hen, making everyone look as if they had seen a ghost.

When the Third Prince saw this scene, he involuntarily gripped his wine cup tighter.

Bai Zhenzhen, by his side, narrowed her eyes and gradually ca to a realization. She had long anticipated that after the musket incident, the Ye Residence would not form an alliance with the Third Prince.

The only thing she had not expected was that the Ye Residence would choose the Crown Prince, deed useless by all.

Everyone knew that the Pri Minister Residence supported the Third Prince. In the entire Wang Dynasty, anyone could potentially beco the emperor except for Huangfu Yunzhong.

If she couldn’t change the dynasty’s system, couldn’t avenge the original host, or couldn’t stand in a position of power, then what was the point of her transmigration?

“Lady Bai, could you please explain to the aning behind your poem?” ca a respectful request from a scholar well-known throughout the Imperial City.

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly realized that she was the number one female scholar in Imperial City. Ye Shaohua, what does it matter if you can modify muskets?

What you don’t know is that I’m not from ancient tis; I am a modern person with five thousand years of culture. Anything I take out of my mind would astonish the people of this world!

**

Three days later, urgent news spread throughout Imperial City. Cloud Country, the barbarian tribe nearby, had again started an upheaval. His Majesty had long wished to reclaim the world, and Cloud Country was one of them, but the tribesn were exceptionally fierce, and even the Borderland General couldn’t handle them.

His Majesty also summoned his ministers overnight. With the successful developnt of the musket, he wanted to try subduing Cloud Country, a decision that caused a wave of anxiety across the Royal Court.

The Third Prince also suggested nurous strategies, but he knew little about the battlefield, and at this mont, his plans were nothing but armchair strategies.

Huangfu Yunzhong had been on the battlefield with the emperor since he was ten years old and was very familiar with Cloud Country.

But he had always been indifferent to fa and fortune, and on this occasion, he was like a transparent person, continuing to play the role of a non-threatening invalid to the other princes.

However, this ti, he clenched the copper coin in his hand and suddenly looked up, his eyes, usually dull and tranquil, now sharp and piercing, “Father Emperor, your son has a strategy…”

If staying low-key couldn’t protect the people he wanted to protect, then there was no need to continue.

All the court officials were shocked to see the Crown Prince like this, and several elder statesn, hearing his thoughts on governance and recovery strategies, showed a look of regret in their eyes.

Such talent – if he weren’t disabled, with the emperor’s favor towards him, his future would be boundless.

But alas…

In the end, to everyone’s astonishnt, the Crown Prince decided to go to the Borderland personally to deal with the people of Cloud Country. The emperor couldn’t stop him and could only send him off with a large group of troops and horses.

Leading onlookers glanced at the Crown Prince’s retreating figure and then strolled to the Empress Dowager’s residence.

The Empress Dowager was unaware of this matter at the ti, and was only pouring a cup of tea for her own brother, dismissing the attendants, her voice sowhat impatient, “Brother, Yunzhong refuses to give Shenji Camp to the Third Son. That rebel son! Even though he’s already incapacitated, he still clings to the Shenji Camp. Does he think he’s as talented as the Third Son?!”

“Empress Dowager, be mindful of your words in the palace,” the leading onlooker’s eyes flashed with pity, “You do not yet know that, in fact, the Crown Prince also possesses great talent. His strategies for governance and recovery made His Majesty marvel. If it weren’t for the poisoning in his early years, which left him with an incurable condition from the battlefield, given His Majesty’s favor for him…”

“Impossible,” the Empress Dowager furrowed her brows, saying instinctively, “I know Yunzhong better than anyone. His mind can’t compare to the Third Son’s. When he was five, he couldn’t even write his own na in full. After going directly to the battlefield, he never properly attended the Imperial Tutor’s lessons. Nothing but a brute – how could he be versed in the art of governance?!”

“He’s hidden it too well. Do you know how many elder statesn in the court are now expressing remorse?” The leading onlooker shook his head slightly, “He will leave for the northern border tomorrow. It’s a pity about his illness, otherwise, which prince in the court could compare to him?”

“What are you saying?” Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager almost toppled over in her chair, mumbling in disbelief, “This can’t be, how can this be…”

In previous years, the Third Prince was overly accomplished, attracting jealousy within the palace.

She had chosen to abandon Yunzhong for his dullness, making him drink the poison intended for the Third Prince, thus causing his lasting illness, and leading the emperor to feel quite guilty, hence providing extensive protection for her and her three sons.

Because of this, her Third Son was able to grow up safely.

But now, her brother suddenly claid that the son she used as a shield was the true talent. She had neglected Huangfu Yunzhong for many years, and having had a falling out a few days earlier, she feared that Huangfu Yunzhong had already beco estranged from her – how could the Empress Dowager accept this?

The Empress Dowager’s aim was to eventually beco the Empress Dowager herself. For this, she was willing to sacrifice her own son, but who would have thought that the son she used as a shield was the most suitable to be emperor?

“Is the Crown Prince’s illness truly incurable?” the leading onlooker asked again and again.

“That’s right, His Majesty had the Imperial Physician look at it, and only the Jade Family of the Divine Physician Valley could cure him, but even they wouldn’t give face to His Majesty. How could they agree to treat him?” the Empress Dowager cald down gradually.

“It seems that a relationship with the Crown Prince cannot be salvaged,” the leading onlooker sighed, “In that case, we must plan early. Empress Dowager, you must not be soft-hearted at a ti like this…”

**

The Crown Prince was already twenty-two this year and had not yet married; his residence did not have a single female mber.

The emperor had always favored him and now, with the Crown Prince heading off on a military campaign, wanted a woman to accompany and care for him. After much deliberation, he decided to appoint Bai Zhenzhen as the Crown Prince’s side consort.

The Bai Family held military power, which was just right to provide support to the Crown Prince.

To create a sense of balance, he planned to arrange a marriage between the Ye Family and the Third Prince.

The Bai Family and the Ye Family could not have the sa standing.

The Third Prince exclaid that the emperor was biased when he heard this. Bai Zhenzhen was nearly the preeminent scholar in the world. With her by his side, it was akin to winning the hearts of scholars everywhere along with holding military power.

But what did the Ye Family have other than their high esteem in the Royal Court?

Bias! It was indeed favoritism!

The Third Prince went to the emperor to voice his grievances, not expecting to find Bai Zhenzhen also there when he arrived.

As a modern person, how could Bai Zhenzhen let the emperor dictate her life, especially marrying a useless man?

Does that Crown Prince even understand the Doctrine of the an? Can he appreciate poetry, calligraphy, and painting? Moreover, he expects her to accompany him into battle?

How could a useless man wage a war, and why should she throw her life away with him?

Bai Zhenzhen would either not act at all or beco the most prestigious woman in the world.

“Your Majesty,” Bai Zhenzhen said with neither subservience nor arrogance, “Fengya Tower is my property, and so is the number one tower in the world. I know the National Treasury is tight, so as long as you issue an imperial decree not to interfere with my marriage, I will imdiately offer two hundred thousand taels of silver!”

Empress Dowager, at these words, almost collapsed on her chair, murmuring in disbelief, “How can this be? How can this be possible…”

To have the renowned Fengya Tower be hers? The second heir to the family that beca the wealthiest in Jiangnan within two years was Bai Zhenzhen? The Third Prince abruptly looked up at Bai Zhenzhen in amazent.
