Chapter 406: How do you know if it’ll work if you don’t try?
There were three people sitting in the pavilion in the rockery.
Other than King Jin, there was also an old man in a Taoist robe and a young man with a jade crown on his head.
After Secondary Consort Hua left with the group of madams and young ladies, the three of them retracted their gazes.
“Taoist priest, didn’t you think Qingluo was very special at that time?” King Jin looked at the old Taoist and asked with a smile.
The old Taoist took a sip of the tea. “She’s indeed very special.
“This woman’s appearance is very special. From her appearance, it looks like she wouldn’t live long, but I don’t know why she’s not only alive until now, and also has the appearance of one who has a rich husband and prosperous family.
“It’s very likely that her so-called master, the Taoist priest who had ascended, had changed her fate,” he added.
King Jin was shocked. He didn’t think that there was really such a thing as changing one’s fate.
“Then, can you change others’ fate?”
“I haven’t reached that level yet,” the old Taoist shook his head and smiled.
King Jin didn’t dwell on this matter. “Then, with the information that Qingluo now knows, is it really left behind by that old immortal master through her dream? ”
The old Taoist thought for a moment. “There are some mysterious things in this world.
“If her master could even defy the heavens and change one’s fate, it’s normal for him to leave behind some things or appear in one’s dreams.
“Of course, it’s also possible that Mdm Shi is a special person who was born with such knowledge.
“So, as long as she sees something, she will know how to use it and what else it can do.”
The young man at the side, who was also the crown prince at King Jin’s manor, Liang Mingyu, was a little skeptical. “Taoist priest, does this world really have people who are born with such knowledge? ”
The old Taoist chuckled. “Of course there are, but just very few among the sea and clouds.
King Jin had no doubts about this. After all, the Analects of Confucius mentioned that it was possible for one to be borned with knowledge.
He had actually suspected that Shi Qingluo was a person like this.
Of course, he did have some faith in Shi Qingluo’s mysterious old immortal master.
He had sent people to Nanxi County to investigate.
His men found out that the Taoist temple had manifested two divine miracles, which many people had seen with their own eyes.
The corn seeds were also found in the backyard of that Taoist temple.
Of course, no matter which one it was, it meant that Shi Qingluo was very valuable.
It was strange that the emperor was willing to send her to the northern border.
If he were him, he would definitely have kept her by his side.
“Taoist priest, do you think Shi Qingluo can be useful for me?” he asked again.
The old Taoist looked at King Jin and replied after a while, “She should be able to help you a lot, Your Highness.
“You can win over such a person, but you can’t force her, or else you might be devoured by her,” he reminded him after some thought.
King Jin nodded. “I understand.”
Then, the two of them chatted.
The old Taoist priest mentioned that he would be exploring elsewere.
King Jin sighed. “Taoist priest, do you have to leave soon? Can’t you stay behind and help me?”
This Taoist priest was very accurate in both fortune-telling and physiognomy, and he also knew some strange arts of concealment.
He really wanted him to stay and help him achieve his great cause.
The old Taoist smiled and declined politely.
“Thank you for your high regard, Your Highness, but I’m not after power. I just want to see more in my life.”
Indeed, he did not have much desire for power.
At the same time, he could tell that King Jin did not have the purple dragon energy, so it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.
If King Jin had not done him a big favor, he would not have stayed in King Jin’s residence for two years to help him assess whether some people would be useful.
It was time for him to leave, or else it would be difficult to get out of this quagmire.
Even though King Jin felt regretful, he did not want to offend such a capable person.
“Where do you want to go?” he asked after some thought.
“I heard that the Western regions are very different from Daliang,” the old Taoist replied honestly. “I want to go and have a look.”
King Jin smiled. “Then I wish you a safe journey ahead.”
“Before I leave, I would like to find Mdm Shi and ask about her master if Your Highness is okay with that,” the old Taoist said with a smile.
King Jin also wanted to find out who Shi Qingluo’s old immortal master was, so he chuckled, “Why not? Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to meet Shi Qingluo.”
The old Taoist nodded. “Alright! ”
Then, he left and returned to his courtyard, leaving only King Jin and his son.
“Father, do you think Shi Qingluo will come up with an idea today?” Liang Mingyu asked.
King Jin shook his head. “That’s hard to say.
“I don’t think it’s possible, but judging from the joy on your mother’s face, it seems like she has achieved her goal.
“You’ll know when the flower banquet is over.”
Liang Mingyu nodded. “That’s true.”
Then, he stroked the teacup and his mind was filled with Shi Qingluo’s voice and smile.
He had seen many beautiful women, and there were many beauties in the backyard, but it was the first time he had seen someone with such a unique temperament as Shi Qingluo.
He was extremely interested.
King Jin saw the interest on his son’s face and couldn’t help but frown. “Keep your thoughts to yourself. Shi Qingluo is not like those women you’ve met before. ”
His son was outstanding and talented, but he had two hobbies. One was a collection of beauties with different temperaments, and the other was liking married women.
Clearly, Shi Qingluo fulfilled both.
Liang Mingyu wasn’t embarrassed that his father had seen through his little scheme.
“Father, it’s because she’s different from those girls that I find interesting,” he said with a smile.
“If I can subdue her, it will be a good thing for our family. She will be completely under our control.”
She was beautiful and had a unique temperament.
Her face suggested that she would bring fortune to her husband and family. She also had many ways to make money in her mind.
Of course, he wanted to bring this golden doll back.
King Jin glanced at him. “I don’t think she’ll be subdued by you. ”
Shi Qingluo didn’t look like one of the women in her son’s backyard or outside.
“How do you know if it’ll work if you don’t try?” Liang Mingyu chuckled.
“She’s very much to my liking. I can tell with one look that she’s the kind of woman I like.”
King Jin was a little speechless. “You say that every time.”
Every time, he would say that he really liked someone, but not long after he got her, he would throw her in the backyard, spend money to get rid of the ones outside, and then go after a new target.
Liang Mingyu smiled. “I’m serious every time. I really liked those girls back then.”
It was just that after he obtained it, he felt that it was nothing much, so he naturally lost interest.
King Jin was troubled by his son. “I can’t be bothered with what you want to do, but you better not lose your sense of propriety. You can’t force Shi Qingluo either.
“Otherwise, if you suffer a backlash like what the Taoist priest said, you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself,” he warned.
Liang Mingyu nodded. “Don’t worry, father. I won’t ruin your plans.”
He would never force a woman and would always patiently wait for the woman to take the bait.
The two of them sat for a while before they got up and left.
After the flower banquet ended, Secondary Consort Hua went to his study room without waiting for King Jin to summon her.
