Chapter 28 The Abandoned Young Master of the Marquisate 9

"Is there anything the Eighth Prince needs?" Shi Qing and Zhao Yunfei stopped at the same time and looked at the Eighth Prince. Since they had been called, they could not pretend not to know. Shi Qing directly exposed his identity.

The Eighth Prince did not answer, but asked: "Mr. Shi, can you please have a word with me?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yunfei was puzzled. When did his cousin know Brother Shi? What did he ask him to do?

Just when he was still confused and didn't know what was going on, Shi Qing and the Eighth Prince had already left one after the other.

"Dad, what does my cousin want to do with Brother Shi?" Zhao Yunfei looked at his father who stayed in the same place as him and asked.

Zhao Weiguo looked at his silly son and waved his hand and said: "Of course there is something, you don't have to worry about it. Aren't you going to go boating? Go." After that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Yunfei: What's the point of him going alone!

Shi Qing and the Eighth Prince walked to the pavilion and sat down. The maid brought melons, fruits and snacks. Shi Qing carefully looked at the Eighth Prince.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a water-blue brocade robe, gentle and elegant. Because he was a descendant of the emperor, he had an innate deterrence.

Shi Qing was looking at the eighth prince, and the eighth prince Xia Wenqing was also looking at him.

Xia Wenqing looked at the boy opposite him, fresh and handsome, wearing a simple white dress, but giving people a sense of transcendence. Sitting there, people felt that this person must have an extraordinary identity.

"Mr. Shi, I heard from your uncle that you are from a hidden family?" Xia Wenqing asked directly without beating around the bush.

"That's right." Shi Qing answered confidently and naturally, without any hesitation or guilt.

There was no way, the identity of a child of a hidden family made it very convenient for him to act, so this identity must be real.

He would not use this identity to do anything bad, and would not bring shame to the hidden family Shi family, which he didn't know whether it existed or not.

"May I ask why Master Shi agreed to join the army?"

"I'm here to gain experience and help the country, what's wrong with that?"

"Master Shi is really righteous, how did you know someone wanted to harm the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"

"I know a little bit about the art of Qimen Dunjia."

Although he had heard his uncle talk about it before, Xia Wenqing was still a little surprised to hear Shi Qing say this in person.

His father also kept a Taoist priest, who also claimed to be able to communicate with heaven and earth and predict the future, but in his opinion, it was just some tricks of the world.

But the man in front of him, this calm and composed look, made him feel that what he said was true!

"Sir, can you help me calculate the situation in the court?"

Shi Qing glanced at the Eighth Prince who was looking at him. The two looked at each other without dodging. After a while, Shi Qing said, "Eighth Prince, you just need to do what you should do. Many things are not immutable. Man can conquer nature."

Xia Wenqing smiled at Shi Qing's answer without any hesitation. He then asked Shi Qing many questions.

Those problems that he didn't understand before and couldn't make up his mind about now can all be perfectly solved in the eyes of the person in front of him. He couldn't help but marvel at them.

The two talked for a long time, and the more Xia Wenqing talked, the more he felt that Shi Qing was unfathomable.

Shi Qing also felt that the Eighth Prince had good character. He was a modest gentleman, respectful to the wise, and not ashamed to ask questions. Many of the questions he asked were related to people's livelihood. He was a person who cared about the people.

In the original plot, after the Duke of the State and the two princes were framed and sacrificed on the battlefield, the Duke of the State's wife also died soon after. The married daughter of the Duke of the State's mansion was unable to take care of herself, and the Eighth Prince's greatest reliance collapsed.

Soon, Xia Wenqing was eliminated under the pressure of the Sixth Prince. After the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, he was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum and lived a miserable life.

Now, I can help him. If he succeeds, the Duke of the State's mansion, as his mother's family, will not be suspected by the future emperor, and will not follow the old path in the original plot in a short time.

The two finally talked happily, and Xia Wenqing left reluctantly until midnight.

Since that day, Xia Wenqing would come to Shi Qing from time to time to ask him some questions and suggestions.

Shi Qing also answered them one by one. Over time, Xia Wenqing implicitly regarded him as a teacher and treated him with great respect.

The struggle among the princes was still fierce. The Duke of Huguo Mansion did not fall, and Shi Qing made plans. The Eighth Prince Xia Wenqing and several princes went from being evenly matched to being the top.

The emperor also set his sights on him, which made the eldest and sixth princes worried and restless.

The Eighth Prince was in high spirits, while Shi Qing played around with Zhao Yunfei from time to time, and lived a very comfortable life.

At the same time, the relationship between Lin Yuxuan and Li Xiangxiang, the two male and female protagonists who had a stable relationship in the original plot, had problems.

Because of Shi Qing's interference, the Duke of Huguo Mansion was not framed as in the original plot, the Eighth Prince was not eliminated, and seriously threatened the Sixth Prince, so the Sixth Prince wanted to win over the Minister of Revenue.

At the suggestion of Guangping Hou, the wife of Guangping Hou intended to make friends with the wife of the Minister of Revenue, and arranged for Lin Yuxuan to marry the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, so as to pull the Minister of Revenue into the camp of the Sixth Prince.

The two often went shopping, boating, and flower viewing together, and their relationship gradually became close.

At this time, the Marquis took the opportunity to propose a marriage, and arranged a marriage between Lin Yuxuan and the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. The wife of the Minister of Revenue went back to discuss with the Minister of Revenue and agreed.

The Marquis successfully completed the task, and when she thought everything was over, Lin Yuxuan encountered a problem.

Lin Yuxuan knew that his mother was arranging a marriage between him and the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Although he had someone he liked, he felt that it was okay for him to make some sacrifices for the Sixth Prince to succeed to the throne.

He believed that Xiangxiang would definitely forgive him. After the Sixth Prince ascended to the throne, he would ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage and marry Xiangxiang as his co-wife, and would not let her down.

But a few days after the engagement, Lin Yuxuan met the haggard and pitiful Li Xiangxiang on the street.

When she saw him, she rushed over to hug him and asked him if he didn't want her anymore and why he wanted to be engaged to someone else?

Seeing the lively, cute and smart girl become the haggard one now, Lin Yuxuan wavered at that moment and felt extremely guilty.

But soon he made up his mind. For the sake of the great cause and the bright future in the future, he could only temporarily let her down.

Lin Yuxuan talked to Li Xiangxiang about the interests of the whole thing and expressed his helplessness and inability to control himself, but Li Xiangxiang did not show the reaction he imagined.

Li Xiangxiang looked at the man who was affectionate and promised her that he would never let her down and only had her in his heart, and she felt a little confused.

She could understand Lin Yuxuan's helplessness, but she couldn't convince herself to accept him like this.

After Lin Yuxuan broke up with her, there was no news for a long time. She came to Beijing alone in a hurry and tried every means to find out about him.

But what she finally found out was that he was engaged to another woman. She didn't believe it at first, but now she heard him admit it in person, she had to believe it.

For a while, Li Xiangxiang's heart was mixed with mixed feelings, which were extremely complicated.
