Chapter 28: 027 Prime Minister Residence’s Number One Talented Lady (9)
In the past, it was just like this, whenever the Empress spoke, most of what was in Huangfu Yunzhong’s hands would end up with the Third Prince, and outsiders would either think they shared deep brotherly love or just silently sigh.
Shenji Camp was indeed under the command of its leader, and it was also one of the few real powers left in Huangfu Yunzhong’s hands.
Huangfu Yunzhong turned his face to the side, the flickering candlelight casting his crisp silhouette as he clenched the copper coin in his hand.
If it had been before, he would have agreed already, but this time, for the first time, his downcast eyes were filled with icy coldness, “I can’t decide on this matter, you should go talk to Father Emperor.”
“Why don’t you just tell His Majesty, he has always loved you, he certainly won’t refuse if you ask,” the Empress said matter-of-factly, “Besides, Shenji Camp was originally your brother’s, you’re just returning it to him now.”
Hearing this, the smile at the corner of Huangfu Yunzhong’s mouth grew even colder. Indeed, Shenji Camp was the Third Prince’s, but before this, Shenji Camp was merely for show. It was the Third Prince who used Shenji Camp to exchange for the highly sought-after Cavalry Camp in his hands.
Now that Ye Shaohua’s design for the firearms has taken shape and the Emperor has assigned the task to Shenji Camp, everyone knows the terrifying strength of Shenji Camp now.
“I’ve said it already, if you want Shenji Camp, go find Father Emperor yourselves,” Huangfu Yunzhong’s gaze was deep, and his tone carried no emotion.
After he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for the two to respond and turned around to leave the Palace.
How had Huangfu Yunzhong, who always obeyed her, become like this?

Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately smashed the green teacup in her hand, “That unfilial son! He’s ruined himself already, how could he not think of you first, does he really believe he can secure that position?!”
The Third Prince poured a cup of tea for the Empress. Watching Huangfu Yunzhong’s retreating figure, he squinted slightly, “Mother, we’ll find another way.”
The Empress snorted coldly, “He’s been the Crown Prince for so many years that I think he’s become too complacent. Without our Chen Family, does he think he can remain secure? Third son, go back and talk to your uncle, make arrangements early.”
The Third Prince nodded slightly. He wasn’t too concerned about Huangfu Yunzhong; his focus was primarily on the Ye Family of the Prime Minister Residence.
**
Prime Minister Residence, Madam Ye, who had been saved by Zu Huan, was buried among a crowd of portraits and couldn’t lift her head.
Not only did she need to find a suitable bride for her son, but she also had to find a good family for her daughter.
For the time being, both Ye Shaohua and Ye Huaijin didn’t want to pay her much attention.
“Shaohua, where did you get this outfit from?” the Prime Minister marveled at his elegantly turned-out daughter, “Even I didn’t know. This time, the Prime Minister Residence really owes you a lot.”
“After following my master for a few years, I had to learn something,” Ye Shaohua sipped her tea, then went straight to the point, “Father, you must have seen the Third Prince clearly this time, right?”
At that remark, the smiles vanished from both Ye Huaijin’s and the Prime Minister’s faces.
Ye Huaijin’s Ministry of Revenue was under the Third Prince’s control; in this respect, the Prime Minister Residence was tacitly on the Third Prince’s side.
When Ye Huaijin was imprisoned, a single word from the Third Prince could have resolved his predicament.
But to their surprise, the Third Prince didn’t even want to see the Prime Minister.
It’s easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to send coal in snow.
“But apart from the Third Prince, whose side could we take in court?” the Prime Minister furrowed his brows slightly.
“There’s one,” Ye Shaohua sat down on a chair.
“Who?”
Ye Shaohua poured herself a cup of tea, then spoke unhurriedly, “The Crown Prince.”
The Prime Minister pondered for a moment, “No.”
People of the Wang Dynasty all knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was of frail constitution, especially since he was nothing but a mere bravo, brave yet lacking in strategy, and he even loathed attending the early morning court sessions. Compared to the outstanding Third Prince, the Crown Prince truly seemed lackluster.
Moreover, the Ye Family supported the Third Prince, and the Crown Prince had long been regarded by them as a castaway.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shaohua’s expression grew serious, yet the smile on her lips remained unchanged. Her eyes, shimmering with luster, overflowed with light, “Father, if he really is brave yet lacking in strategy, how do you think such a man has managed to maintain his position as the Crown Prince?”
Lady Ye, who was beside her looking at portraits, heard this and looked up at Ye Shaohua, her hand suddenly pausing.
She had always known that her daughter was beautiful and possessed first-class temperament. Her appearance was dazzling, and the allure sketched by her eyebrows almost seared into one’s heart.
Like the other members of the Ye Family, she always felt that the most outstanding person in the world was not too good for her daughter.
“In terms of appearance, in the entire Imperial City, only the Crown Prince is a match for you, but he is a rash fool. When it comes to talent, the Third Prince, who could write poetry at the age of five, is better. He was solving the Emperor’s worries at the age of seven with his extraordinary wisdom. It’s a pity he is a prince. That Fang Tuo is also passable…”
Ye Shaohua felt overwhelmed by her words and quickly found an excuse to leave. After her prompting, the Prime Minister of the Ye Family also began to pay attention to the Crown Prince.
Mo Hen wanted to try eating hotpot, “I don’t know if it’s good, but Miss, the cake you improved last time for Fengya Lounge was a hundred times better than theirs. If you opened a top-notch restaurant, other establishments wouldn’t even have a chance to survive…”
Ye Shaohua put away her fan, her beautiful brows slightly lowered, “Do you see me paying attention to you, Dog?”
Mo Hen: “…” Does she not care about her reputation at all?
This hotpot restaurant in the Imperial City was indeed extremely popular, featuring individual pots for each patron. The private rooms were all fully booked when Ye Shaohua arrived, leaving only seats available in the main hall on the upper floor.
Space was incredibly tight in the restaurant, people in pairs were almost forced to share tables to satisfy their cravings.
Almost everyone in Sifang City had some status, and sharing tables, a novel idea proposed by the hotpot restaurant, had led to connections with many influential officials and nobles. Ordinary people rarely refused such offers.
And indeed, there were seats available to be shared upstairs.
It was the table of the Third Prince, Bai Zhenzhen, and the Crown Prince.
Upon seeing Ye Shaohua, the Third Prince’s hand paused while holding his chopsticks, his face alight with a pleasant surprise. He had been worried about not finding an opportunity to speak with Ye Shaohua.
As for the Crown Prince, the Third Prince wasn’t concerned. Compared to the inconsequential Crown Prince, Ye Shaohua would definitely choose his table.
Bai Zhenzhen’s expression was also troubled. She watched Ye Shaohua with a stern face, realizing that she had underestimated her in the past.
The Crown Prince appeared indifferent, as he knew that anyone with a brain wouldn’t want to get involved with him. His eyes lowered, the light within them dimmed.
However, no one would have expected that Ye Shaohua would walk past the Third Prince and directly towards the Crown Prince.
“Think carefully!” The Third Prince stood up and said softly to Ye Shaohua as she passed by him, “If you think standing behind Huangfu Yunzhong is wise, believing he will ascend to that position, then you are gravely mistaken. He is a cripple, brave yet lacking in strategy, and the Wang Dynasty will never fall into his hands!”
Ye Shaohua’s pace didn’t falter.
This time, however, the Third Prince did not stop her, but stood aside, watching the Crown Prince.
He knew his brother had a phobia of cleanliness and never allowed any female to come within three feet of him. Once, a neighbouring nation’s princess touched the hem of his garment and was thrown so fiercely that all her limbs were broken.
The Third Prince knew this situation would be no different. Once the Crown Prince lost his temper, he would step forward; maybe he could even use the opportunity to restore the Prime Minister Residence’s reputation by making a drastic decision.
If the Crown Prince made a mistake and was punished, the Shenji Camp would fall into his hands.
Those who knew the Crown Prince in the room all tightly shut their eyes.
A sense of triumph welled up in the heart of the Third Prince.
Mo Hen made frantic gestures at Ye Shaohua, but she calmly took the seat near the Crown Prince.
