Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chapter 516 One word wakes up the dreamer

Zhou Chang was still afraid that Yuan Yun didn't understand: "You just said that Concubine Yi is like the Queen, and her son, my brother Prince Duan, also thinks he is the best candidate for the Crown Prince. So if my brother Prince Duan is not capable now, shouldn't he inherit his father's business..."

"This doesn't make sense." Yuan Yun's brain finally caught up. "It has always been the case that sons inherit their fathers' business. If Prince Duan has not ascended the throne, why would his son be qualified to succeed him?"

Zhou Chang knew that his words were a bit of a substitution and conspiracy theory, but he still had to force it: "According to general reasoning, it is of course irrational, but if the emperor has no son, or if his son dies young and there is no one to inherit the throne, then naturally he would have to choose a son or nephew from the nearest clan to be adopted. Since the Gu family holds great power, whose son would they choose?"

"This..." Yuan Yun also felt that this was far-fetched, "It's a bit too early to say this."

"Too early?" Zhou Chang shook his head in disappointment. "Don't you know the truth that 'people who don't think about the future will have immediate worries'? If there is no benefit, why would the Gu family support me to take the throne? The Yuan family is wholeheartedly attached to the Gu family, and you only want to be the queen, but you don't think about whether you can give birth to a child or raise the child you give birth to, even if you become the queen, it is still unknown."

Yuan Yun's face changed several times. It was obvious that she had at least heard half of what he said, but she still refused to believe it completely: "If, if... Princess Duan's child can only be a prince at most, how can it be..."

Zhou Chang had almost gotten the hang of it, so he had to strike while the iron was hot: "You claim to be well-educated and well-mannered, so you must have read a lot of historical allusions. Isn't there a lot of such things in history? The emperor died early, had no son to inherit, and the same clan adopted a son... As for whether you can still sit firmly on the throne as the queen at that time, it is really hard to say."

Yuan Yun’s face turned paler and paler.

This statement is actually a bit far-fetched and exaggerated, and it also shifts the concept, but it should be enough to fool a teenage girl.

"You can come back to see your parents at any time, but you should know what to say and what not to say." Zhou Chang deliberately raised his voice again, "You have always said that you are not young anymore, so you should think about the future of the family. We are grasshoppers on the same rope now, and we are betting our treasure on the Gu family. We can't tell the difference between the inside and the outside. It's too early to mention anything else."

The effect was achieved, and she didn't plan to delay any longer. She stood up and prepared to leave to give Yuan Yun space to digest it alone.

"Your Highness..." Unexpectedly, Yuan Yun, who seemed to be thinking seriously, spoke again, with half sarcasm and half resentment in her eyes, "Your Highness really thinks that I am so young and so easy to fool? Even if the Yuan family was used, it was willing to be used, but I married your Highness, but you didn't even have a real marriage with me. If that's the case, there were rumors before your Majesty granted the marriage that day, why didn't you reject it sternly? Isn't this another kind of use?"

Zhou Chang was stunned by this "counterattack" and didn't understand what she meant.

The emperor issued an edict to grant the marriage, and Prince Yi could not refuse. Feng Ming was in a state of disarray at the time and never thought that things would happen so quickly.

But she could not refute it. Both Prince Yi and Zhou Chang knew that Emperor Lin had the intention to grant her another marriage, and neither of them had any intention of actively resisting.

Because they don't care, and because they want to pretend to be nice to the Gu family.

Thinking about it this way, this is indeed a mutual exploitation.

"The prince said he was worried about not being able to keep the baby in the future. That's something that can only be considered after the baby is born." Yuan Yun also stood up slowly, tears in her eyes, and anger in her tears, "What does it mean that the prince is so cold to me? Is it because he is afraid of being used by the Gu family and dare not resist that he has to marry me? Or is it to avoid that person's departure and use me as a fill-in? Or it doesn't matter who he marries, it's just an exchange, so what am I? From the beginning, don't I deserve to be disliked by the prince?"

"Don't you dislike me?" Zhou Chang really felt guilty towards Yuan Yun. He never expected that his words not only failed to fool the other party, but also made him a clown.

"If it's not disgust, then what is it now?" Yuan Yun asked in a roar.

Zhou Chang's heart shrank: "As long as you don't make too much trouble, you are the Princess of Yi now and will be the Princess of Yi in the future. If you are really bored these days, go out for a walk and relax. As long as you feel better, I won't stop you."

"Princess Yi? Haha..." Yuan Yun sneered, obviously not listening to anything anymore. She was shaking with excitement, her hands clenched tightly, "More than just Princess Yi? I, Yuan Yun, have never failed to get what I want. I will never admit defeat."

What if I don’t admit defeat?

Zhou Chang experienced too much "reluctance" and "failure to obtain" in his two lifetimes.

But it did serve as a wake-up call for those who were still dreaming.

If Yuan Yun has such ambitions, what's the point of her living in a daze all this time?

However, to Yuan Yun, some of the reasons obviously didn't make sense, and Zhou Chang could only shake his head and turn away.

As soon as she left the courtyard, Yuan Yun's wet nurse, Nanny Sun, rushed to the bedroom with her servants to check on Yuan Yun with a worried look on her face.

Aunt Jing stood on the other side of the yard, inquiring with her eyes.

Zhou Chang walked over, smiled bitterly and shook his head to Aunt Jing: "Don't worry, Aunt, she is a smart person, she won't make a big fuss for a while."

As long as Yuan Yun always has the dream of becoming a queen, she will never undermine Prince Yi.

This is the only thing Zhou Chang can be sure of today.

Aunt Jing was still asking stupidly, "What did the prince talk about? The princess is still young after all, some things still need to be done slowly."

"Everyone has his own persistence and no one can force it." Zhou Chang smiled bitterly again.

This is what she just thought of.

It is very clear what Yuan Yun wants.

But how could she be so confused that she even forgot her original intention.

Afterwards, Zhou Chang returned to his study, but he no longer hesitated alone. Instead, he invited Zhong Yu to come over.

First, he asked Zhong Yu about all the businesses that Prince Yi could think of, such as the Siwei Pharmacy, the Xinghuafang Pharmacy, the Pharmacies opened in the south, as well as the shelters, orphanages, and the construction of the dam, etc.

Zhong spoke to nature fluently and reported everything one by one.

Zhou Chang arranged all the affairs of Prince Yi and sent Zhong Yu away.

Then she thought over in her mind all her previous plans, current plans, and future plans.

Then I made up my mind again without hesitation or any other choice.

No matter what choice is made, the "live streaming with goods" business must continue.

She wasted her time during this period.

She could no longer control what happened to Prince Yi, so she could only follow his lead.

And I wonder what’s going on with Yuan Qi?

No matter what, Yuan Qi is her original intention.

She still has to work towards her.
