Chapter 209: 208 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (6) Fourth Watch of the Night

Speaking of the Seventh Prince, he too was a legendary figure at the Royal Court.

At the age of three, he could compose poetry, and by seven, he had begun martial arts training. By ten, there was not a single minister in the court who could outdebate him.

The Seventh Prince’s mother was also the emperor’s most favored concubine. However, shortly after giving birth to him, she passed away due to frail health, leaving the emperor to pour all his affection onto him.

Therefore, the Seventh Prince’s name was different from the other princes who had only single character names.

Yuwen Yunshi.

To watch the clouds rise at the opportune moment.

Just hearing this name revealed the emperor’s great expectations of him, and by thirteen, he had already won the recognition of everyone at court.

However, the Seventh Prince was quite an oddity—he left the Imperial City at the age of fourteen due to the lack of scholars and literati that dared to compare with him and roamed the Jianghu instead.

He even made it clear to the emperor that he had no interest in the throne, which infuriated the emperor to the point of ignoring him for several days.

Despite all this, when the Seventh Prince left for Jianghu, the emperor bestowed upon him the honorary title of an idle prince.

It was only because of this that the other princes had the opportunity to vie for the throne. Yet, they all knew that if it were not for the Seventh Prince’s departure, not to mention Yuwen Jing, even if all the other princes were combined, the throne would have still belonged to the Seventh Prince alone.

Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince couldn’t stay away and, after spending two years in Jianghu, was summoned back by the emperor’s twelve golden decrees on his sixteenth birthday.

After less than a month in the Imperial Palace, all the experts within the palace feared him, leaving the emperor no choice but to let him leave once again.

The Seventh Prince was exceptionally handsome, and when he was in the Imperial City, the other princes stood no chance in comparison. He was the object of longing for almost every young lady in the city.

Among them was Qu Huashang, who, regrettably, only caught a distant glimpse of him during his sixteenth birthday celebration, finding him incredibly striking.

After that, she never saw him again.

In these three years, aside from not marrying because of Yuwen Jing, she also harbored a sliver of hope that the Seventh Prince would return.

She hadn’t anticipated that the Seventh Prince would actually come back now.

No one knew what his identity was in Jianghu, but no one underestimated him either. If he wished to stage a coup, he would have the support of many court officials.

After the events in the palace unfolded, those people knew—the Seventh Prince, he had returned.

Because of the Seventh Prince’s return, Qu Huashang stopped paying attention to Ye Shaohua, often appearing distracted while chatting with Yuwen Jing every day.

Yuwen Jing too was thinking about the Seventh Prince’s issues, so he didn’t notice her odd behavior.

It couldn’t be denied that, even though he now occupied a high position, he dared not claim that he could take any advantage from the Seventh Prince.

Yuwen Jing was even fearful; he was afraid that Yuwen Yunshi would, like his former self, come to seize the throne.

If Yuwen Yunshi really did so, Yuwen Jing might... really have no way to counter it.

When he obtained his position from the Crown Prince, he had already lost a portion of the public’s favor, and there remained many neutral old ministers in the court.

He wasn’t sure if, once Yuwen Yunshi returned, these old ministers would all lean towards him.

And this document was about the person who took her life, eliminating a few who didn’t fit the age or pattern. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
