The prince said helplessly: "Of course not!"
Shu Yuwan smiled: "I am just joking."
The prince also laughed.
Shu Yuyang stood aside, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the way the prince behaved when getting along with his sister was a bit strange~
"My daughter is more concerned about His Highness. She mainly wants to know when the fifth prince will be sent away by His Highness."
The prince asked in confusion: "Why did Miss Shu treat fifth brother...?"
Shu Yuwan straightened her expression and continued to speak seriously: "I have been dreaming a lot lately, dreaming that His Highness the Crown Prince was being harmed by others. Finally, the fifth prince ascended the throne and exiled the Shu family, and all His Highness's mother clan and ministers were executed and demoted. ~"
The prince and Shu Yuyang looked solemn at the same time.
Shu Yuyang asked: "Why did my sister suddenly have such a dream?"
The prince also looked at Shu Yuwan in confusion.
Shu Yuwan made a serious look: "It's strange for me too, and I always have the same dream over and over again, so I couldn't help it and wanted to remind His Highness the Crown Prince."
Shu Yuyang and Shu Yuwan both wanted to see the prince.
After a long time, the prince sighed: "My father is still alive and my fifth brother is still young and has not reached the age to leave the palace. If... I can't bear it after all."
"We can only secretly eradicate the influence of the fifth brother. Although the fifth brother has intentions, he is still young and has not yet become a big deal. Besides, if I seem to be unable to tolerate other brothers, my father is still in his prime after all, so I will inevitably overthink it."
Shu Yuyang looked at the prince, she didn't expect the prince to talk to his sister so clearly~
He has been with His Highness for many years, and His Highness has never said these words to him so clearly!
Shu Yuwan thought that in the last life, after the prince passed away, the emperor was extremely sad. He grew older in a day. Since then, he had been in poor health. Not long after, he also died.
Although she didn't know what kind of relationship the royal father and son had, she thought that the emperor must have a strong paternal love for the prince.
Then he said: "Your Highness, you were raised by the Emperor himself. I believe that the Emperor's love for you as a father and son is better than the difference between a monarch and a minister."
The prince couldn't help but look at Shu Yuwan.
"Since ancient times, there have not been many people like me who have been crown princes since childhood, but have lived long enough to ascend the throne. Do you know why?"
"Firstly, the position of prince is coveted and his brothers are trying to kill him. Secondly, the position of prince has been sitting for too long, and his power has become stronger day by day, which has attracted the suspicion of the reigning emperor."
After hearing this, Shu Yuwan couldn't help but be affected by the prince's emotions. She was a little sad, but she still advised: "His Highness is right. Now His Highness's position as prince is unanimously recognized by the emperor and most of the courtiers. If he cultivates his influence too much, , it will inevitably make the emperor unhappy, but if His Highness does not consolidate his position, the second prince, third prince, and even the fifth prince in the palace will all be watching in secret."
"If you don't consolidate your power, your life will always be in danger. As for the Emperor's suspicion, you only consolidate your rights as the Crown Prince and don't touch the Emperor's. I believe the Emperor will not blame you.
Shu Yuwan smiled slyly: "Maybe if you leak something to the Emperor, the Emperor will take care of it for you~"
The prince seemed to feel something.
Shu Yuyang looked at his sister. He didn't know that his sister actually understood the affairs of the court and even thought about things so deeply!
At this moment, his impression of his sister changed drastically.
Shu Yuwan thought about the sudden death of the prince in his previous life, and heard that he was poisoned, so he reminded him: "Your Highness also needs to be careful about the people around him, so as not to be plotted against."
The prince nodded: "I understand, thank you Miss Shu."
...
Not long after the prince returned to the palace,
Ah Qing then came over and reported, "Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you."
The prince immediately changed his clothes and went to Chengqian Hall.
The emperor was still processing the memorials. When he saw the prince arriving, he raised his head from the pile of memorials and put on a kind smile on his face: "What do you want to see, the prince?"
"Meet my father."
"What happened?" the emperor asked.
The prince's head instantly felt heavy. Facing the emperor's expectant gaze, Shu Yuwan's words came to his mind...
After his mother passed away, his father did not create another queen, nor did he hand him over to any concubines. Instead, he personally appointed his confidants and arranged his residence. When he was a child, in addition to going to court and concubines' palaces, even when reviewing memorials, his father also He takes it with him.
"These days are passing by, and if you still don't have a clue, I will give you a decree to marry you!"
Seeing that the prince did not answer, the emperor continued to urge.
"It would be unreasonable for a country's crown prince to have no heir."
Shu Yuwan's face suddenly appeared in the prince's mind. If he insisted on marrying a princess, then marrying her would not be unacceptable~
"Father, don't be anxious. It's still early for the one and a half year period we agreed on. Please ask me to take a closer look. As soon as I find someone I like, I will come immediately to ask you to grant a marriage decree."
The emperor exhaled and calmed down.
"You don't really have to wait for a year and a half. In the near future, you can go to more banquets and see more."
The prince smiled and said: "My son, I obey the order."
After returning to the East Palace, the prince pondered this matter.
Thinking that Shu Yuwan was sometimes lively and sometimes calm, and never had any scruples in front of him, it would be a happy thing to welcome Shu Yuwan into the East Palace as the Crown Princess.
It’s just that Shu Yuwan’s identity~
This matter needs long-term consideration~
Then he remembered Shu Yuwan reminding him to pay attention to the people around him, and called Ah Qing: "Call Jun Liu."
"yes."
Ah Qing trotted away. Jun Liu was the commander of the secret guards around his master. He and he were the most trusted people by his master. He often accompanied his master. When the master wanted to see Jun Liu, it was usually because of something important.
...
A few days later, when he heard that Master Liao Kong from Huangjue Temple had left seclusion, the prince went to Huangjue Temple, visited Master Kong, and asked the master for Buddhist rituals.
When the emperor heard about it, he was very happy. It seemed that the prince had listened to his words and finally knew to go out and see more.
Since you want to find someone you like, you naturally want to meet more of them.
The road to the emperor is a lonely road. He also hopes that his son can find someone who will truly accompany him as a queen~
This life is not truly lonely.
In the Zen room in the backyard of Huangjue Temple, the prince and Master Lekong sat opposite each other.
Master Liao Kong had a kind face and said with a smile: "Don't you know, Your Highness, that monks don't lie~"
The prince took out a birthday card and said: "Then master, please help me calculate. Is this girl my destined person? The master's own calculation of Gu's destined person is no longer a lie~"
Master Liao Kong took over: "Your Highness is right."
"As long as the master's calculations are good, I guarantee that Huangjue Temple will still be as prosperous in Gu's hands."
The prince saw Master Kong lowering his head, pinched his fingers casually, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you are indeed a good match for Your Highness, and your Highness is the one you are destined for."
The prince said happily: "Then I'll leave it to the master!"
