Indulging in Carnal Desire

Chapter 269: [Emperor’s Story] Secret Dragon in the Abyss

Ever since he was taken in as Imperial Tutor Jiangs disciple, Jing Chen had learnt a lot more things during his spare time. What Imperial Tutor Jiang wanted to give him were not only the skills of how noblemen handled matters but also the skills of how an emperor governed a country.

He was like an absorbent sponge that would never become fully saturated, constantly taking in new knowledge. Yet, he was also akin to an unpolished gem, slowly being carved into precious treasure.

The Imperial Tutor had warned Jing Chen that before he would gain absolute strength, retreating was also considered advancing. He had advanced too quickly and had already attracted the unwanted attention of his brothers as well as the forces backing them up, so Jing Chen had to sheathe his sharp edge away and began to learn how to keep a low profile.

He learned to become mediocre and no longer scrambled for first place for everything. Each day, apart from class time, he would go back to his quarters and quietly stay behind closed doors. Over time, the admiration that people had towards him gradually turned into disappointing sighs, he had become yet another ignored prince.

Concubine Rong caught wind of this and called him over to admonish him a few times, but Jing Chen merely responded with shallow promises, temporarily appeasing her. But once he turned around, he simply resumed his usual attitude, angering Concubine Rong into breaking several good cups.

However, now that Jing Chen was older, she didnt dare punish him blatantly, so she could only set her sights on other, more useful people for the time being.

As for Jing Chen, he began to feel more at ease.

Other than completing the schoolwork assigned by Imperial Tutor Jiang every day, Chu Jiao was the only one he mingled with. The display of his utter lack of ambition completely baffled Chu Jiao on how he was able to become the emperor in the future.

So what if he looked unsightly?

Yun Wan remembered those little sisters who admired beautiful appearances, every single one of them had desired to be part of a pair of ideal lovers. She carefully stroked her face in the mirror, curling her lips up slightly. No matter how good ones appearance was in this world, it will still suffer the passage of time and grow old day by day. By then, their beloveds will grow resentful, so wasnt it better to hold power instead? At least it was something that will never betray you.

Moreover, it was not as if she hadnt seen the other side of the Sixth Princes face when she was younger. Even though it still disgusted her, as long as it was covered, she could still bear with it.

This son was favored by Imperial Tutor Jiang, and his character was also quite shrewd. In her point of view, he was a strong candidate to become the next emperor.

Now that a secret dragon was hiding in the abyss, it was a great time to show goodwill.

Once the Fifth Princesss house arrest was lifted, Yun Wan was called into the palace once again.

She deliberately found an excuse to separate with the Fifth Princess after class had concluded and ran into Jing Chen, who was about to return to the Autumn Dusk Palace, with Chu Jiao closely following behind him.
