Chapter 677, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

Despite Prince Suwan Guwalgiya's helplessness and reluctance, Princess Minmin mustered her courage and confessed her true feelings to the Thirteenth Prince, Yinxiang.

However, the outcome was predictable, and Yinxiang naturally refused.

Lin Jiu watched helplessly as Minmin forced a smile and left dejectedly, and couldn't help but feel pity for her, sighing to himself, "What a tragedy!"

In fact, in her opinion, at first, Princess Minmin only had a slight fondness for the Thirteenth Prince.

But it was precisely because Ruoxi kept babbling in her ear that Minmin Gege developed a misconception, mistakenly believing that she truly loved Yinxiang, and thus amplified and deepened this feeling.

As Lin Jiu pondered these thoughts, he couldn't help but look towards the direction where Ma'ertai Ruoxi was standing above.

At that moment, she saw that person with a faint smile on his face, leisurely watching every move in the arena.

Compared to the past, this woman's gaze no longer easily reveals that annoying pity and arrogance; clearly, her level has risen considerably.

Lin Jiu raised an eyebrow. People do grow!

next day

The morning sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze caressed her face. Lin Jiu sat quietly in the carriage, gently lifting the curtain to look outside.

His gaze fell on Minmin, who was not far away. She was smiling brightly and talking to the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang beside her. She looked as beautiful and charming as a flower in full bloom in spring.

Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is truly wonderful!"

However, Yinzhen noticed the change in Lin Jiu's expression and immediately frowned.

He leaned close to Lin Jiu's face, gazing at his wife's still as delicate as ever, and said, "Ajiu, we're young too, there's no need to envy them!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiu was speechless and rolled her eyes at Yin Tang.

I thought to myself, "Where am I envious? Why is this guy just spouting nonsense?"

However, when Lin Jiu's gaze returned to the princes chatting and laughing with warm expressions, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

It must be admitted that Emperor Kangxi was indeed very good at having children and educating them to become successful. All of these princes were outstanding individuals. But it was precisely because of this that Emperor Kangxi treated them like he was raising poisonous insects.

Lin Jiu felt it was a pity the more he thought about it. If these outstanding princes could be sent to other places to display their talents, they might be able to achieve even greater things.

For example, conquering the entire European continent; or, even if that scale couldn't be achieved, easily conquering the small island nation of Japan...

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu once again angrily denounced Emperor Kangxi's outrageous actions in his heart.

Power is blinding! This is especially true for emperors like the Kangxi Emperor.

As he grew older, he became increasingly eager to firmly grasp the power in his hands. In his eyes, his sons were no longer his children, but a group of enemies who were eyeing him covetously and plotting to usurp the throne and seize power.

In this situation, it's natural to feel that nothing looks right to you!

Even if Lin Jiu had other ideas in mind, he could only wait until the next emperor ascended the throne before making any plans.

After all, Emperor Kangxi only wanted peace and stability at this time, so any suggestions he made would be futile!

According to historical records, the Crown Prince Yinreng was proficient in both literary and military arts, and was a handsome and elegant young man.

Moreover, he was personally taught and raised by Emperor Kangxi from a young age, making him arguably the best candidate to succeed him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lin Jiu valued this Crown Prince the most.

However, this is not the case. This is not true historical fact; it is just a TV series.

In this story, Yinreng is even more incompetent than Yinzhen, a complete and utterly incompetent fool.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu immediately abandoned all unrealistic fantasies. As the saying goes, "choosing the tallest among the short," it seems that it is more appropriate to go with the flow.

Lin Jiu thinks it would be acceptable if the person who finally ascends the throne is Yinzhen!
