C531 The Shocked Cai Yong
Cai Yong nodded and said: "The Lingnan area has been a huge threat since ancient times. If Prince of Ning really can break the vassal lords' seal, even if he can't ascend to the position of the Sovereign in the future, Qing Shi should still have his name left behind."
Diao Chan listened from the side with endless reveries in her heart. She had been sold to be a dancer in the Disciple's Hall ever since she was a child. Although she did not leave the house, Shen Muqing's name resounded like thunder in her ears for the past two years.
From the lords to the servants, all of them mentioned this name. The girl's heart was filled with Shen Muqing's story, it was hard to avoid the shadow of Shen Muqing appearing in her heart. She was curious about what kind of person this was. To be able to make such a heroic figure and a knowledgeable man like Lord Cai Yong submit to him!
At this moment, Wang Yun suddenly said, "There's one more thing, I heard some secrets."
Cai Yong was curious and asked, "What secret information?"
Wang Yun said: "I heard that the palace wanted to hold another Royal Consort's talent show for Prince of Ning."
"What?" Cai Yong was surprised.
Although he was an ancient scholar, he was also someone who cared about the people. He immediately realized the crux of this trip and also thought about Shen Muqing's current prestige. If he became a prince in the future, he would definitely be able to get the title of Prince of Yan!
Which rich and powerful family didn't want to cling on? If he really did have a daughter that was called an imperial concubine, then it was obvious that his sudden rise in status had become a precious commodity of gold.
All of a sudden, Cai Yong said, "Does that mean that taking Diao Chan as your adopted daughter is for the sake of the Royal Consort?"
Wang Yun didn't hide anything from him, so he nodded his head. For a moment, Diao Chan was stupefied; she was actually going to participate in the wangfei's elimination, and become the wangfei's position with the identity of a young daughter of the steward's house.
If she succeeded, wouldn't she be the princess consort? Prince of Ning's wife! Suddenly, her mind went blank and her face turned red. To think that Prince of Ning could do it in front of her, it was as if she was in a dream.
Cai Yong also gave out praises. "With your beauty, you're actually able to stand out. I'll have to congratulate you first!"
But he was thinking about something else. What was he thinking about in his heart?
He also had a daughter, named Cai Wenji. She was also a beauty that could topple empires since she was young, had great talent and was well-versed in poetry and calligraphy. She was also in her prime, and had been thinking of a good son-in-law ever since.
Although Cai Yong was also a Confucian Scholar, it was not bad that he had the opportunity to be related to the royal family!
Moreover, Prince of Ning's talent wasn't considered to be a disgrace to his daughter. When the matter of the talent show was mentioned, his heart also became excited, and he planned to go back to discuss it with his wife.
Cai Yong thought to himself, if Wenji marries Prince of Ning, it would be a good ending!
On the second day, within the Grand Assembly, a hundred officials revealed joyous expressions. After three cheers, Wei Zheng immediately stepped forward and said excitedly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince of Ning had evaluated Prince of Liang's rebellion in Lingnan and also abandoned his title of nobility.
In the group of princes, Zhao Kuangyin vigilantly looked at Ji Chang and the others. Now that Shen Muqing had made such a contribution, these royal brothers would probably be in trouble again.
However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that Ji Chang, Liu Tie and the others were scared of Shen Muqing, so when Zhao Kuangyin heard the name, his heart beat like a drum.
This was especially true for Ji Chang. Because his title had been turned against Shen Muqing, he was publicly beaten up by the empress dowager twice over at Xuanwu Gate. He really didn't want to offend Shen Muqing anymore!
