Chapter 491: Chapter 349: The Arrival of the Crown Prince of Southern Chen
Borjigin Nian was at a loss for words upon hearing this.
Gu Changsheng’s skill in amassing wealth was genuinely sothing else! Even Borjigin Nian was green with envy!
That was real gold and silver! Gu Changsheng was richer than she, a Princess of a Country! What a cruel reality!
“Half a year without opening, once you open you can feast for half a year, your dical hall must be the most leisurely in the world!” Borjigin Nian said, with a look of envy on her face.
Gu Changsheng had no comnt on that, as the dical hall’s revenue was indeed just enough to maintain free clinics and household expenses!
Her real inco ca from preparing dicinal materials!
At the Jiangnan dical Debate Conference, Gu Changsheng had shot to fa, and the dicinal materials she sold fetched sky-high prices!
Nowadays, the ingredients she prepared were bought at high prices by Elder Yhan’s Bozhou dicine rchants Association, which was a considerable inco!
In addition, Uncle Song was managing the trade of dicinal materials in Liuzhou City, which brought in a decent inco too!
“We Han people have an old saying, ‘When poor, one benefits oneself, when rich, one benefits the world.’ Nian, I am of the noble sort who help others when affluent. Don’t you think that’s very noble?” Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian with wide eyes, her face begging for praise.
“Bah! I can’t be bothered with you!” Borjigin Nian huffed at these words and turned towards Xilou, “I’m off to keep an eye on my handso man!”
Gu Changsheng deeply despised Borjigin Nian’s tendency to imdiately revert to her usual ways and camp out at Xilou as soon as she felt slightly better!
Damn, a whole Princess of a country, as addicted to handso n as to life itself, throwing away not just face but all decency!
It was utterly speechless!
“I say, Nian, waiting idly for results won’t get you anywhere…” Gu Changsheng followed behind Borjigin Nian, kindly reminding her.
Damn, even the Flower Peacock had been idly waiting by her side for so long but hadn’t caught even a glimpse of a rabbit.
And now Borjigin Nian joined the ranks of those who idly wait! What kind of situation was this?
Oh my god, this strategy of waiting idly for luck had not even managed to make it into the Thirty-Six Stratagems; it’s truly not a good plan!
“Nian, if I may suggest, you don’t need to send food to Xilou every day. Flower Peacock is in secluded cultivation, not fasting; cut off his food supply, and once he gets hungry enough, he’ll naturally co out!” Gu Changsheng offered his bright suggestion.
The more he thought about it, the better it seed, and Gu Changsheng nodded with a hint of smugness, “Heavens! Why was I born with such brilliance! I am even amazed at myself!”
“What do you know!” Borjigin Nian imdiately turned around with an unfriendly look, swinging a paw towards Gu Changsheng’s head, “You, who have never practiced internal martial arts, don’t understand its dangers. If secluded cultivation is interrupted by external forces, one can be driven mad, and it can be life-threatening!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng pouted and couldn’t help muttering, “Here I am providing for him with good food and drink, yet he doesn’t even show his face for so long, and no one even teaches my precious son his kung fu. Aren’t I just nurturing him for nothing…”
She had never tolerated freeloaders, okay? At least Little Monk Bu Jie sang sutras and chanted prayers to protect the household. But this Flower Peacock, shutting himself away for months on end!
Flower Peacock hadn’t been flaunting himself in front of her for quite a while, and she was indeed beginning to miss him…
“Gu Changsheng, I really can’t with you! Continue with your lonely life and don’t follow ! Don’t disturb spending ti with my handso man!” Borjigin Nian glared at Gu Changsheng and stomped off towards Xilou.
The abandoned Gu Changsheng pursed her lips and turned to Si Xi with puzzlent, “Damn, they’re separated by a door; how is that spending ti together? Has Borjigin Nian lost her mind over handso n?”
Si Xi also wiped his forehead in embarrassnt, despite there being no sweat, “Well… Princess Nian has been like this since she was young…”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was shocked and tutted several tis, “Oh my gosh, for the King of Northern Mongolia to have a daughter so fixated on handso n she can’t take her eyes off them and not die of anger, that’s truly one of the world’s great wonders!”
Si Xi nodded vigorously in agreent, “Right! It’s a pity that the King of Northern Mongolia dotes on Princess Nian to the extent of angering heaven and man, and others can only let it be…”
Gu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully, wondering aloud, “I truly want to know, what exactly did Nian steal from her master that the evildoer caught hold of her weakness? Xiao Si Xi, do you know?”
Si Xi shook his head at this question, “I really don’t know!”
Gu Changsheng was deflated upon hearing this!
If Si Xi said he didn’t know, then he truly had no idea! Si Xi had always been frank and forthcoming with her!
The little bun was in the Book Tower, learning literature from his Foster Father. The Foster Father was very pleased with the na Gu Changsheng had chosen for Xiao Gu Ze, calling him ‘Yaoyao’ all day long, which filled Gu Changsheng with regret!
Damn it, what was she thinking to give her son such a feminine nickna? Now, hearing it every day, all she wanted to do was cry!
While Gu Changsheng was utterly bored, Hu Tiandong ca running over in a great rush.
“Lady Changsheng! Lady Changsheng! It’s a big deal! Co with us to watch the excitent!”
“Oh? What’s the big deal?” Gu Changsheng perked up imdiately, asking hurriedly.
Hu Tiandong stopped not far in front of Gu Changsheng and, after catching his breath, blurted out, “Southern Chen… Crown Prince of Southern Chen…”
As soon as Si Xi heard ‘Crown Prince of Southern Chen,’ his expression turned grave…
“Crown Prince of Southern Chen?” As soon as Gu Changsheng heard this, her brows furrowed.
She just knew it, why had the evildoers been so quiet these days, not even showing up at the Gu Residence? Turns out the Crown Prince of Southern Chen was coming!
With Zhou Mu’s ability, the mont the Crown Prince of Southern Chen stepped into Liuzhou Region, he must have received the news. It seems he must have been preparing for this!
“Yes, it’s the Crown Prince of Southern Chen! They say His Royal Highness’s entourage has already passed Wenjun Pavilion and is heading towards Liuzhou City. His Highness Prince Mu has also gone out of the city to welco them!” Hu Tiandong regained his composure and hastily explained.
“They’re making such a big deal out of it, huh!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl his lips upon hearing this.
Is this the rhythm of a state visit or what?
Even the evildoer Zhou Mu has gone out of the city to welco them; what a majestic sight this must be!
“Has Lady Changsheng not realized yet? That’s the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, the future Emperor of Southern Chen, Your Highness! It’s only right for His Highness Prince Mu to go out and welco him!” Hu Tiandong said with stars in his eyes, “That’s soone who’s going to be the Emperor! I’ve never even seen an Emperor before! Now I’ll get to experience it and maybe even get a whiff of the Dragon Qi—it’s a good thing!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately rolled his eyes.
What divine right of kings bullshit! More like Dragon Qi, my ass! More like it’s just air!
“My lady, the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, Sima Changhao, is known for his grand talent and strategy. Amongst the Four Kingdoms, his fa is second only to the County Prince; he’s quite a figure! It wouldn’t hurt to go and see for yourself!” Si Xi moved a bit closer and whispered softly in his wife’s ear.
Gu Changsheng, noncommittal, replied, “What do I care if he’s talented and strategic? I’m lazy to bother with such bustle!”
Dammit, the throngs of people when Zhou Mu went off to war are still fresh in my mory; I don’t want to be part of that crowd and get squashed into a pancake—whom would I bla then?
Upon hearing this, Si Xi’s face fell as he touched his nose, pondering for a bit before he finally spoke, “Rumor has it that the Crown Prince of Southern Chen is exceptionally handso, elegant, and the most beautiful man in Southern Chen. Surely you don’t want to miss out, my lady?”
The mont Gu Changsheng heard this, his eyes widened with excitent, “Really?”
Seeing his lady suddenly so enthusiastic about a handso man, Si Xi’s expression brightened considerably, yet he resignedly nodded.
“What are we waiting for then! Hurry up and call Borjigin Nian over!” Seeing Si Xi nod, Gu Changsheng’s joy could not be contained as he spoke, “If there’s a handso man, we should all admire him together! I can’t leave her out, or she’ll never let hear the end of it!”
Si Xi nodded dejectedly at her words, and chased after the direction of Xilou.
Godfather! His master likes a woman who’s as fond of beautiful n as Princess Nian—is this a matter for joy or concern?
The joyous part is that he himself is considered one of the most handso n amongst the Four Kingdoms!
The worriso part is that his lady seems to have an eye for all handso n…
Alas! It’s truly an indescribable feeling!
Yet he still had to let his lady see the Crown Prince of Southern Chen; only then would she know what to expect!
If his master’s plans ever changed, at least his lady would be ntally prepared!
Upon hearing that a Southern Chen’s most handso man was coming, Borjigin Nian, disregarding her unhealed injuries, rushed over imdiately.
Handso n, oh! Aren’t they her most favorite thing!
Gu Changsheng scolded her a couple of tis, and then the two of them left the residence together and squeezed toward the City Gate.
Above the heist, it was already bustling with people; the closer to the City Gate, the more crowded it beca!
“Oh my god! This is like a stampede waiting to happen! All I can see are heads; where can we even catch a glimpse of the Crown Prince of Southern Chen?” Gu Changsheng looked at the throng in front of her, with a face full of exaggerated misery.
Dammit, this is even more exaggerated than when Zhou Mu went to war!
The whole city is out, isn’t it!
It’s just the Crown Prince of Southern Chen, is it really necessary to make such a fuss over it?
Making it impossible for to peacefully look at a handso man!
“I didn’t expect that the citizens of Liuzhou City would love handso n so much, true birds of a feather we are!” Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but marvel.
“Nonsense!” At that, Gu Changsheng imdiately interrupted, “They’re looking at the Crown Prince of Southern Chen for his status; it’s just us two who are here for the handso n!”
Did she really think the world was so full of eccentrics?
Gu Changsheng admits she’s a sucker for good looks, but obviously, these adoring citizens have different tastes than hers!
They’re actually here to catch the supposed Dragon Qi!
Dammit, should really bring that Retired Emperor back ho to show around! This Crown Prince of Southern Chen hasn’t even ascended the throne yet and he’s already causing such a stir. Zhou Zongbao at least had his turn wearing the Dragon Robe and playing Emperor for a while! Gu Changsheng scoffed internally…
“Alright!” When Borjigin Nian heard they weren’t like-minded enthusiasts, she sounded a bit upset, but then quickly beca anxious, “What do we do now? With so many people, we won’t be able to see the handso man.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng tipped toed peering around, then pointed excitedly toward the Inner City River, “Over there, over there! Let’s cross the river while others are unaware, and then we can go up to the city walls!”
