Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Warm Jade Pavilion

's lair. He should have died a gruesome death.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!The white lotus had concealed everything, already saving his life. But no matter what, it was...Looking at all of Emperor Qi's daughters.

The crown prince, Jiang Wuhua, needless to say, wouldn't be considered.

Over the years, no matter how much the situation in Linzi City changed, this prince had almost never shown himself.

Here is the text translated into English, keeping all HTML tags:

The deposed prince, Jiang Wuliang, was imprisoned in Qing Shi Gong. The Qi Emperor forbade him from leaving the palace even a step.

And Jiang Wuhua seemed to have imprisoned himself as well. Besides necessary ceremonies and palace visits, he remained largely confined to Changle Palace year-round. Each day was spent in cooking, tending flowers, reading, and painting...

Just like his name, there is not a trace of extravagance.

He isn't like his younger siblings, running around everywhere.

Those several excellent younger siblings ran around, working hard to secure a spot in the rankings. He, however, remained unfazed, minimizing his presence... because he was already in a position, he was already the Crown Prince of Daiqi.

If the Qi Emperor were to meet with some mishap now, he would be the undisputed heir to this vast empire.

Even if Jiang Wang didn't know this Prince of Qi, and even if he had the opportunity to meet him, Jiang Wuhu would never help him. The crown prince would rather hide in the East Palace, unnoticed by anyone, and wouldn't go to the outlying islands to stir up trouble.

Furthermore, among the princes and princesses who were eligible to represent the state of Qi to some extent, there were...

The Third Princess, Hua Ying Palace Master Jiang Wuyou, came to recruit Jiang Wang after the battle between Jiang Wang and Lei Zhanqian. Her attitude wasn't particularly earnest, but it wasn't casual either. She also specifically reminded Jiang Wang to be careful of the Qing Shi Gong with Chong Xuan.

Looking back, it seems her motivation for stirring up the situation between Chongxuan and Qing Shi Gong was more about probing their intentions than genuine willingness to help. It's something worth considering as a backup option.

The Ninth Prince, Jiang WuXie, of the Royal Palace of Inner Harmony, has repeatedly expressed his desire to recruit them after their time in Qixing Valley, and he has been very sincere. Although Jiang Wang feels that this person sometimes acts a little frivolous and disrespectful, he is not without sincerity. They have gotten along well so far and there hasn't been any conflict. Asking him for help would increase the chances of success.

Besides the eleventh prince, Jiang Wuqì, the master of Chángshēng Palace, there is no one else left. This prince most resembles the current emperor and has always been the most favored. He acts grandly and with a view to the world, perhaps willing to offer a good price. But his cousin is Lei Zhāny乾, and even if Jiang Wuxiè acted justly, he couldn't ignore blood kinship. It is impossible for him to bow to Lei Zhāny乾, and Lei Zhāny乾 would certainly not give him a good face. Therefore, Chángshēng Palace has no need to consider it.

The Crown Prince Jiang Wuhua, the Third Princess Jiang Wuyou, the Ninth Prince Jiang Wuxie, and the Eleventh Prince Jiang Wukui are the four who are eligible to vie for the Dragon Court of Great Qi. Among all the princes and princesses, only they have their own palaces.

The rest of the princes and princesses either gave up early in life, spending their days as wealthy recluses. Or they still had ambitions and were making an effort, but like Jiang Wuyong, it seemed futile.

In such a powerful empire, to vie for the throne, ambition alone is far from enough.

Back to using a borrowed identity, after much deliberation, Jiang Wu Xie is still the most suitable choice.

After all, the two had fought side by side in the world of mortals. To be precise, it was Jiang Wang who defeated Lei Zhanqian and helped him secure a good ranking. Although Jiang Wuxie went to Qixing Valley at that time, there might have been other reasons.

We're acquainted, but it's not a deep friendship. It's unlike Heavy Xuan Sheng's side; he can just speak freely. Ultimately, it all depends on what he's willing to offer in exchange.

"What would Jiang Wuxie want" After carefully considering everything, Jiang Wang raised his head and asked.

When it comes to understanding Jiang Wuxie, he definitely doesn't know as much as Chongxuan.

He needs to know what Jiang Wuxie wants and what conditions are necessary to move him.

To go to the nearby islands and help out at the Haiji festival on Diaohailou is no easy feat. Even with Jiang Wuxie's status, it wouldn't be a simple task.

"You..." Chong Xuan looked at him.

Fourteen, who was always taciturn, burst into laughter.

Laughter burst forth, sounding a bit jarring in this tea room.

Jiang Wang frowned.

Zhong Xuan Sheng was very serious: "As the prince of Qi, one of the most powerful nations in the world, he is one of the few people with the greatest hope of vying for the throne. One day, he may possess the greatest power in the world, and only a handful can compare to him. What does he lack What can you offer him that would impress him"

“Your treasures, secret techniques, and artifacts are all useless before his overwhelming wealth and power. What he desires is to make the possible inevitable. He wants to transform those who vie for the throne into those who sit upon it.”

"And who are you You are Tenglong Realm's first, having defeated Wang Yiwu in the same realm. You are the great prodigy of Daqi, who triumphed over Lei Zhanyan of the Second Palace against the First Palace! The future is bright for you, as everyone knows. As long as you live, the future that people expect from Wang Yiwu might very well belong to you."

>

“You have the opportunity to grow into an unparalleled powerhouse. You have the chance to help him.”

"For this possibility. He should be willing to pay a great price."

After Chong Xuan Sheng suggested using the situation to their advantage, Jiang Wang actually had a plan in mind.

It wasn't just Jiang Wuxie; to get these princes and princesses, who could represent the voice of Qi in some way, to participate, he would inevitably have to pay a price.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Without friendship, we can only talk about interests. Even if there is real friendship, the massive interest groups surrounding these princes and princesses would not allow them to consider issues based on friendship.

As for what one puts in, the most direct and powerful point is to help them vie for that dragon throne.

> Just that Jiang Wang also had some concerns in his heart.

He looked at Chongxuan and said, "If I help Jiang Wuxie compete for the throne, will it affect you"

Zhong Xuan Sheng smiled and shook his head, saying: "Your helping anyone won't affect me, because our Zhong Xuan family never participates in the competition for succession. Even if you and I are as close as brothers, outsiders wouldn't possibly impose your choice on me."

He was implying that, after getting involved in the power struggle within the Qi royal family, Jiang Wang would never drag Chong Xuan Sheng down into any trouble, no matter what happened. Given their relationship, this would be easy to do. For example, if Jiang Wang encountered some sort of scheme from another prince or princess, he could call upon Chong Xuan Sheng for help under his own name. Once Chong Xuan Sheng helped him, he'd be dragged into the mess.

But Chong Xuan knew very well what kind of person Jiang Wang was and that he had his own standards. That's why he could confidently say that he wouldn't be affected.

"I understand."

After Jiang Wang finished speaking, he stood up.

Although the Sea Festival is still far away, it's always better to prepare as early as possible.

Especially these preparations, he couldn't even be sure if they would be useful.

The more you understand about Diaohailou, the more you can feel the hardship.

“I hope brother goes after finishing his business and leaves without even stopping at the Xiashan Pavilion for a rest.” Looking at the door closing, Chongxuan Sheng sighed: "The responsibility I have taken on myself is too heavy."

He supported his head with his hand and patted it gently.

But precisely because of this, he is Jiang Wang. Isn't he

He turned his head and looked at Fourteenth: "Why don't you speak"

Fourteen slowly walked over and took his hand away: "Stop hitting your head, you'll lose your hair."

She and Jiang Wang were quite acquainted, and their relationship was pretty good.

But her eyes always only saw Chong Xuan Sheng, always that little girl who hid herself in armor, wanting to protect Chong Xuan Sheng.

> Zhong Xuan Sheng was her first glance, her first thought.

As the master of Yuxin Palace, Jiang Wu Xie didn't often reside there. Perhaps he found Qiwang Palace too oppressive or inconvenient for his activities.

In general, the place he frequents most is actually Wen Yu Shui Xie.

That's the very Wen Yu Shui Xie where Xu Xiang Qian often went "to seek inspiration." It is said to be very good at inspiring people and is full of poetry.

Last year, Jiang Wang went all around the Four Great Academies to cultivate the Dao art Eight-Sound Flame Sparrow. Having tasted each of the Eight-Sound Teas in every academy, he was no stranger to this place.

The Four Great Pavilions could become the only unique romantic haven in the bustling city of Linzi, flourishing amidst other entertainment districts. Each pavilion enjoyed its own unique advantages that contributed to its popularity.

In fact, the backer behind Wen Yusui Pavilion is Jiang Wu Xie. The pavilion's nominal owner, Qin Lian, renowned for his beauty in Linzi, is actually Jiang Wu Xie's woman.

Well, that's one of them.

It's not a good thing to have an imperial prince running a brothel, so Jiang Wuji mostly stayed behind the scenes.

This kind of thing is unknown to ordinary people, but for someone like Chong Xuan Sheng, it's not a secret at all.

Leaving Qinxing Xiaochu, Jiang Wang drove lightly and skillfully, straight to Wenyushu Pavilion.

Saying he was familiar with the ins and outs, it seemed as if he were a seasoned leader in some romantic entertainment venue, which didn't quite align with Jiang's usual serious demeanor. But in reality, he was indeed very well-versed...

Of course. It's all Xu Xiangqian's fault.

No sooner had I entered the place than a beautiful woman recognized me: "Oh, Young Master Jiang! It's been ages! You're still as dashing and outstanding as ever!"

Jiang Wang had no impression of her, but she seemed to be in charge of welcoming and sending guests at this Wenyushui Pavilion. Her voice was soft and gentle: "I wonder which young lady you wish to see upon your return"

I've come here several times, all for the Bāyīn Tea. Each time, it's either Xu Xiangqian inviting friends or Chong Xuan Sheng making a big fuss. Jiang Wang is usually low-key, enjoying tea and contemplating his Taoist practices.

I never expected to be noticed by this beauty, and even after so long, she could still recognize him.

It must be said, Wenyushu Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Four Great Gardens. Everywhere you look, you can see evidence of its exquisite design.

"Oh." Jiang Wang replied casually. "I'm looking for Miss Qin."

The middle-aged woman's face changed color: "Sir, don't joke about this."

Jiang Wang knew he had made a misunderstanding, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm looking for Qin girl, because I want to find Qin girl's friend."

Qin Liang's friend, of course, was Jiang Wuxie.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

As the person in charge of welcoming and sending guests at the Yu Shui Pavilion, this middle-aged beauty recognized Jiang Wang, so she naturally understood his importance. After all, he was the pride of Great Qi, with a title and an official position. He was already dazzling now, and his future was even more promising.

Otherwise, if an ordinary person had just said what Jiang just said, she would have already called people to beat him to death.

"I wonder if that young master is free." The beautiful woman bowed gently, her body like a willow in the wind, soft and graceful: "May I go ask"

“Thank you for your trouble.” Jiang Wang, very considerate, took out a piece of Dao Yuan Stone and handed it over.

With such precious jewels, it's unlikely they would impress anyone in this Jade Spring Pavilion.

“I didn't do anything important, you don't have to pay.” The beautiful woman flipped her hand, gently pressing his back. Her slender white fingers brushed across his back as if absentmindedly.

She looked at him with a myriad of charms: “Unless, you want to happen something with me...”ring the mobilization of Yama need to pay a deposit to local ghost houses first."I'll be the one to select the tasks and concentrate on them. The contract is only formed once I approve, and that's whe...
