The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 792: Chapter 743: Amusing Tales

Huangfu Yuxuan closed his eyes. Gongyang Puyu had said that his marriage needed to be settled as soon as possible, and he needed to secure the position of Princely Heir, because with the astral changes, delaying would result in chaos.

He once asked, to what extent would the chaos reach if delayed?

Gongyang Puyu did not speak, he merely made a gesture, a gesture indicating that it was a major, irreversible downfall.

The gesture was so terrifying that Gongyang Puyu dared not put it into words, and those who saw the gesture were shocked. Huangfu Yuxuan felt he still had time and opportunity, but it now seemed that there was neither time nor opportunity.

Previously, if he did not propose marriage to the Zhao Mansion, he would at most end without marrying.

But now, if he did not propose to the Zhao Mansion, it would inevitably end in enmity.

In the past, Xia Wenjin was beyond his reach, and with the incident at Prince Ning Mansion, it would be even more impossible in the future.

Since the matter has come to this, he can only prevent the possible consequences that this matter might cause.

Stepping back to take second best, is he really left with only this option?

Wei Yuqing could see the reluctance in his eyes. He could not understand, even if Huangfu Yuxuan wanted to marry the niece of Prime Minister Xia, could a niece compare to a daughter?

Was he not being foolish?

Young men really can’t settle down and see the implications clearly.

He had to speak more clearly: ”Yuxuan, the Emperor’s birthday is approaching, and both Prince Lu and Prince Xin have arrived in the Capital City, with Prince Cheng also on the way. Both your grandfather and I have speculated, and not just us, who in the court does not know? Your Grandfather must be planning to establish the Crown Prince after the birthday, when all the princes have returned to the Capital City. The situation is so severe, many matters cannot be handled impulsively!”

Huangfu Yuxuan also understood, Grandfather’s intentions were indeed too clear.

Especially now, he could not see whom Grandfather favored.

Prince Li was possible, Prince Xin was possible, Prince Lu was possible!

No matter which of these three princes became the Crown Prince, it would not be good for him.

After the Emperor had once abolished the Crown Prince, then a second time, he surely would not easily abolish a third time. Prince Li was alright, he had always been in the Capital City, though cunning, his style was known. But Prince Xin and Prince Lu had always been in the Vassal Land, he could not figure out their styles, knowing oneself and not the other is unfavorable to him.

The best way would be to prevent Grandfather from establishing a Crown Prince, but without a Crown Prince, the nation would be restless, Grandfather’s thoughts are hard to predict, how could it be easily stopped?

Wei Yuqing also hinted that several key ministers in the court were secretly planning to request the Emperor to establish an Imperial Grandson.

If it was the Imperial Grandson being established, then he would have a chance.

If his marriage with Miss Zhao could be achieved, would Grand Tutor Zhao not take his side then?

Betrothal, becoming Princely Heir, then fighting for Imperial Grandson, this was a bright path.

After much thought, Huangfu Yuxuan finally gritted his teeth and said, ”Uncle, rest assured, I will handle it now, and go propose marriage immediately afterward!”

Only then did Wei Yuqing satisfactorily nod his head, his nephew is no common person, though not the eldest grandson, he is the legitimate grandson, the opportunity is still great.

The aftermath of Prince Ning Mansion’s events, many were watching with interest.

Just as Huangfu Yuxuan was preparing the betrothal gifts, Prince Xin’s son and Prince Lu’s son were in a private room of a restaurant. Naturally, they were not there to dine or drink, but today such matters happened, they needed a quiet place to exchange views.

But these two were also little foxes.

Prince Xin’s son seemed reckless, acting purely on impulse, but where was he truly reckless? He poured a cup of tea for Prince Lu’s son, then said: ”Brother Han, it seems that Yuxuan and Miss Zhao are close to succeeding!”

Prince Lu’s son smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: ”Yanlong, this talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, it is a good thing, isn’t it? We get a cup of celebratory wine to drink, isn’t that good?”

Prince Xin’s son also smiled, saying, ”Brother Han speaks the truth. It truly is a match made in heaven. Who could have known that the remnants of the Dragon Nest Tribe, destroyed by the Fifth Imperial Uncle, would still exist, and that they would arrange such a good marriage for Yuxuan!”

Prince Lu’s son smiled without saying a word.

Prince Xin’s son glanced at him, sighed lightly, and said, ”Brother Han’s affection for Miss Zhao ends up misplaced. Now that such a thing has happened, Brother Han can only watch as Miss Zhao marries Yuxuan. Brother, I feel unjust for you!”

Prince Lu’s son’s gaze swept over, and suddenly he laughed gently, saying, ”Yanlong, between us brothers, let’s not say such things. A fair lady, a gentleman pursues her. If the lady is unmarried and we admire her, that is life’s most beautiful sentiment, but now that she and Yuxuan are more fated, naturally I will let go of this affection. But Yanlong, your brother has moved on, have you not moved on?”
