We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

"You think I'm attracted to your looks?"

Zhou Tiancheng's unrestrained gaze swept over He Qian.

It must be said that He Qian has an extremely pleasing appearance.

What does it mean to be upright?

She seemed to possess an innate air about her, like a university professor or a high school dean of students.

She happens to be one of the prettiest girls, naturally arousing a man's desire to conquer her.

Her figure was also remarkable; her breasts were full and swaying precariously, and her waist was not slender, but overall, she was very feminine, healthy yet with a touch of wildness, similar to Li Hua.

Zhou Tiancheng was immediately jolted awake.

That night, Li Hua forced himself on the bed and took what he wanted from him!

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head and quickly spoke.

"Admittedly, your appearance inspires a desire to conquer you, and your figure is incredibly feminine. In layman's terms, you're sure to give birth to a son."

"But, if I may be so bold, as the Crown Prince of the court, I have seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, palace maids. I have seen your type before."

"What I'm after isn't your body, but your ability to transform a crumbling brothel into a well-known name throughout the capital in just a few years. Your capabilities far outweigh your beauty!"

"I want to open a shop in Kyoto. What I need is your ability, not your figure and appearance."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tiancheng stroked his chin and turned to look at He Qian seriously.

"You are really smart."

"From the very first day you arrived in Kyoto, you were just trying to get the third brother's attention, weren't you?"

"The third brother's brothel and gambling den businesses dominate 50% of the Kyoto market. You opened a brothel just to get his attention, right?"

He Qian's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone in the world says the Crown Prince is a good-for-nothing.

Is this guy a complete idiot?

She insulted the Crown Prince, but he saw through her intentions at a glance.

She opened a brothel, and the Crown Prince immediately saw through her original intention.

It can be said that many people have seen He Qian and know her situation, but none of them see her as clearly as the Crown Prince.

She felt as if she were standing naked in front of the Crown Prince, unable to hide her thoughts at all!

She was starting to get scared.

The Crown Prince's abilities filled her with a sense of despair, and his status made her look up to him with awe.

Faced with such an opponent, she seemed to have no power to resist at all.

This is terrifying compared to those lustful court officials.

She could only pretend to be calm.

"I agree, Your Highness."

"In that case, I sincerely wish Your Highness the best of luck in your training."

That's what they say, but what's the reality?

She desperately wanted the Crown Prince to not win the championship.

Because she didn't want to work for the Crown Prince!

Who wouldn't be afraid of having a boss who can see right through you?

Zhou Tiancheng looked into her eyes and immediately laughed.

"You don't want me to win?"

"Hey, it seems you still really like Third Brother. You wouldn't be thinking of becoming his woman, would you?"

Who is Chou Tien-cheng?

Best Actor!

To put it simply, his status allows him to participate in television or film projects without needing to audition. Instead, he can sit next to the director and help them choose roles.

How well someone acts can be revealed through their eyes and movements.

All I can say is that He Qian is smart, but her acting skills are terrible, no wonder she hasn't been able to get revenge yet.

People like that should quit acting and go into business.

He Qian was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and her hands were trembling slightly.

She hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, then fled in panic.

Zhou Tiancheng laughed even harder and didn't stop her, letting He Qian go.

As soon as she left, Steward Liu smiled.

"His Highness is formidable. This woman is cunning, but she can't escape His Highness's grasp. It seems she was intimidated by His Highness; her legs went weak when she left."

Xiao Shi couldn't understand and looked at Steward Liu with a puzzled expression.

Manager Liu explained in a low voice.

"Boss He is a smart man. What he fears most is others seeing through all his thoughts."

"His Highness the Crown Prince said exactly what was on her mind. She was terrified, so she had no choice but to run away."

Xiao Shi only realized this belatedly.

So, it seems Boss He likes the Third Prince?

That's right.

As for the military general, after listening to the entire dialogue, he only remembered this one sentence.

Even a foolish woman like Zheng Ye'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her whole body shaking with laughter.

Zhou Tiancheng glared at Zheng Ye'er with annoyance.

"Stop laughing, okay? Let's eat something and go for a walk."

Zheng Ye'er then calmed down a bit.

The group did not stay at the brothel for long. They had come out to find talented people, and since they had already made things clear, there was no need for them to stay any longer.

The journey after leaving the brothel was not pleasant.

They went to a teahouse to listen to a storyteller tell the tale of the Third Prince.

When searching for talent at the Imperial Academy, the most frequently mentioned candidate was the Third Prince.

Steward Liu's expression also changed.

Who doesn't know that the Third Prince and the Crown Prince are vying for the right to inherit the throne?

Almost all the common people sided with the Third Prince!

Even someone as slow-witted as Xiao Shi gradually realized what was happening.

It seems the crown prince has no supporters among the common people?

"Your Highness, should I go and give that storyteller a beating?"

Xiao Shi didn't have any good ideas, so he could only think of venting his anger for Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head.

"There's no need for that."

"Moreover, this situation is not something that the Third Prince alone could have accomplished."

"His maternal grandfather, Qin Zhi'ang, was the Minister of Rites. Any scholar with a modicum of sense would choose the Third Prince. As for those storytellers in the common folk, don't they just believe whatever the scholars say?"

Steward Liu shook his head grimly.

"Your Highness, it's not that simple. To be more precise, the Third Prince has many capable people under his command, each with their own duties. There should be someone specifically in charge of this kind of thing."

"And Your Highness, besides this servant and a few generals, I'm afraid there's not a single person who can be of any use to you."

They had no intelligence sources, no public support, and no connection with the imperial court.

Zhou Tiancheng started out with practically nothing except his status as a prince.

He could easily understand with a little thought that even if he did become emperor, he wouldn't be able to hold onto that position!

This led to even fewer people choosing him.

Zhou Tiancheng looked somewhat solemn, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he inquired whether the Crown Prince had received any other invitations recently.

The answer is yes.

Some officials who were frustrated or marginalized had no other choice but to come to him to see if there was any way out.

After all, the Crown Prince's reputation in official circles has improved slightly recently.

Zhou Tiancheng looked through the information of these people one by one, and finally shook his head wearily.

No.

Will not work.

What he lacks is someone who can stand alone!

Just now.

Xiao Shi spoke up.

"If my second brother were here, he should be able to help His Highness."
