Chapter 1665: Chapter 1662: Favor

“On the contrary, it made others owe her a favor, rather than her owing them.”

“Look at this opportunity, it’s too rare. Prince Rong saved Miss Chu. If the injury is too severe, leaving behind a dark ailment, it would be unfavorable in the contest for the position of Heir Apparent. But he can control the severity of his injury to make the Chu family owe him.”

“As you saw, the Chu family immediately showed their attitude at the scene, expressing great gratitude to Prince Rong.”

King Qi’s voice was slightly hesitant: “Uncle, do you mean that Fourth Brother deliberately saved Miss Chu?”

“Of course.” Minister Qi’s tone was firm.

King Qi shook his head: “No, the situation was very dangerous at the time. If Fourth Brother had made any mistake, both of them could have been in trouble. Lord Chu is famously non-partisan and wouldn’t stand on Fourth Brother’s side just because of this incident.”

“Moreover, falling off a horse, if he breaks a leg, his whole life could be ruined.”

Minister Qi mused: “No matter why Prince Rong saved Miss Chu at the time, it’s no longer important. It’s essential to see the Chu family’s attitude towards this matter and their attitude towards Prince Rong.”

“I’m not worried about Chu Heng openly befriending Prince Rong. On the contrary, he’s a smart man, even if he picks a side, he won’t do it blatantly. I’m worried about the two of them secretly joining forces, especially with this life-saving favor, there’s now a reason for their families to interact.”

King Qi listened and remained silent.

Minister Qi understood his personality, feeling somewhat disappointed but not angry. After all, no matter what, King Qi could only trust the Qi family.

“Prince, regardless of how Prince Rong and Chu Heng will interact in the future, there’s something you need to fight for now.” Minister Qi shifted the topic, refilling his teacup.

King Qi touched the teacup with his fingers, his features like a painting, sitting quietly without moving or responding.

“Prince.” Minister Qi, noticing his silent resistance, raised his voice: “If you want your mother to live well in the palace, you must fight. You must make the court ministers think you’re the best choice, let the Emperor appreciate you and favor you.”

King Qi lifted his gaze indifferently: “Then, Uncle, tell me, should I marry Princess Weisaiya as my Principal Wife or Consort?”

“Of course, as Consort.” Minister Qi replied without a thought.

Prince Qi’s smile faded slightly: “Uncle, do you think Beirong will agree given their current intentions?”

“After all, Beirong can also choose Fourth Brother, who currently doesn’t even have a consort, making him the best candidate.”

Minister Qi laughed: “Prince, you’ve misunderstood. If Lord Rong were the best choice, why has Beirong been delaying? It’s because they haven’t decided who to choose. Otherwise, they would have finalized the marriage long ago.”

“Do you think today’s competition was really just a contest?” Minister Qi sneered: “Beirong people have great plans, wanting to choose the most favored prince in Great Chu. This competition is actually to test Prince Rong and Your Highness.”

“Prince, don’t forget, although Princess Weisaiya is a woman, she has been sent by Beirong for marriage. The marriage is no longer her own, but a major diplomatic affair between two nations.”

King Qi knew his uncle’s focus on power and was trying to persuade him with detailed analysis.

“My relationship with Princess Weisaiya is ordinary.” He suppressed the urge to stand up and turned to leave.

Minister Qi’s voice turned heavy: “Prince, have you already decided not to care for your mother?”
