The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1066 - 406: My Husband Is a Supporting Character (Part 5)_2

Chapter 1066: Chapter 406: My Husband Is a Supporting Character (Part 5)_2

Having many children, the Emperor becomes less concerned about each.

Some Princes whose mothers have humble origins are invisible within the Imperial Palace.

Like the Seventh Prince.

His birth mother was merely a palace maid, the Emperor favored her once by chance, and thus the dragon seed was conceived.

Yet, the Emperor lacks no sons, he has the Crown Prince born from Empress Yuan, and also the "love crystallization" of the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince from his Favored Consort.

Besides, there is the Fourth Prince adopted by the Step Concubine, and the Third Prince who is the nephew grandson of the Empress Dowager.

It can be said that when the Seventh Prince was born, the Emperor had no expectations at all.

Just hearing there was another son, the Emperor instinctively felt a momentary joy, promoting the palace maid to a talented person, then left it aside.

After the Seventh Prince, more than ten Princes were born, and the Emperor became even more indifferent.

From childhood to adulthood, the Seventh Prince was always the pitiful one in the Imperial Palace.

In his youth, he was even bullied by eunuchs.

At that time, He Shu’s father was still alive, she followed her mother to a banquet in the palace and encountered such a scene.

Of course, following the novel’s trope, the kind and noble legitimate daughter of Marquis Mansion, He Shu, helped the Seventh Prince.

She was like a radiant light, illuminating the dark life of the Seventh Prince.

With such an encounter, He Shu became the Seventh Prince’s White Moonlight in his heart, his little fairy of salvation.

Possessing a modern soul, He Shu also advised the Seventh Prince, allowing him to stand out before the Emperor once.

Though it didn’t make the Seventh Prince the Emperor’s favored son, it did remind the Emperor that he still had such a son as Zhou Jin.

The Seventh Prince successfully transformed from a pitiful bullied figure, even by eunuchs and palace maids, into an ordinary Prince in the Imperial Palace.

He still had no holy favor, yet had all the treatment a Prince should have.

Worry-free in clothes and food, he could study and practice martial arts, which greatly satisfied the Seventh Prince.

And towards his noble benefactor, He Shu, he felt gratitude mixed with some inexplicable emotion.

Until later, they grew up, the Seventh Prince became a handsome gentleman admired by others, he gradually understood his own feelings.

He liked He Shu, he wanted to marry her!

At this time, their identities seemed to have come to a reversal—

He Shu’s father died, and she was no longer the prestigious young lady of Marquis Nanning’s Mansion.

The Seventh Prince, although still invisible, was nonetheless a Prince.

During childhood, He Shu took care of the Seventh Prince.

After the demise of the former Marquis Nanning, it was the Seventh Prince who secretly cared for He Shu.

After He Shu passed her fourteenth birthday, the Grand Madam of the He Family began searching for a suitor for her.

The Seventh Prince wanted to propose to He Shu.

However, just then, He Tian jumped out.

She fell in love with the gentle and elegant, handsome, and extraordinary Seventh Prince, madly pursuing him with no regard for a girl’s modesty.

He Shu withdrew, she had no father, she and her mother still depended on Marquis Mansion for survival.

If she openly competed with He Tian, it would not only make the world ridicule the He Family daughters for lacking upbringing but also incur He Tian’s hostility.

Of course, He Shu was a meticulous and flawless person.

She naturally wouldn’t tell the Seventh Prince that she feared a fallout with He Tian, feared unable to gain the support of the Marquis Mansion, thus had to retreat.

She stood from the Seventh Prince’s perspective, putting forth an attitude that it was all for him, and tearfully consoled: "Actually, marrying Third Sister would be the best for you!"

The Seventh Prince was too invisible, already eighteen years old, yet had neither a title nor a position arranged.

The younger Eighth Prince and Tenth Prince had either been titled Commandery Prince or entered the six ministries for training.

Only he seemed completely forgotten by the Emperor.

An awkward, neither high nor low status.

The He Family was different.

Marquis Nanning’s Mansion was a hereditary founding merit with military power in every generation.

Only He Shu’s father, the former Marquis Nanning, He Jing, was naturally frail, unable to practice martial arts, merely a nominal Marquis.

But since He Jing was not capable, his second brother, He Jing, rose to the occasion.

He Jing was very brave, going to the battlefield with his father at age thirteen.

After the old Marquis passed away, He Jing went to the Northwest Border, experienced several major and minor battles, and accomplished remarkable achievements.

At the time, the Marquis Nanning’s title was inherited by the legitimate eldest son, He Jing, and the Emperor titled He Jing as General Jingbei.

Later, He Jing passed due to illness, He Jing inherited the title, taking over all the contacts and influences of the Marquis Nanning’s Mansion.

He Jing was loyal to the Emperor, who valued him very much.

To speak harshly, in the Emperor’s heart, He Jing’s children may be more important than some of his relatively unfamiliar Princes and Princesses.

If the invisible Seventh Prince were to marry He Jing’s beloved only daughter, it would be equivalent to holding onto a sturdy supporter.
