I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 386 - 301: Contending for the Throne

Zhang Fengcai finally went out with the servant, as he expected, the visitor was the Second Prince.

The black-gold carriage with python patterns stopped at the entrance of Zhang Mansion, Rong Qijun dressed in blue, jade hanging at his waist, his almond-shaped eyes very gentle, exuding elegance and courtesy.

It is often said that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse; his current attire also showed some scholarly elegance.

Ever since Consort Qian passed away and the Qian Family fell, Rong Qijun’s involvement in visiting brothels and collusion with the teacher led to his expulsion from the Imperial School. He can no longer idle his time away as a profligate prince.

Half a year has changed Rong Qijun greatly.

Recently, because of the Su Family’s affairs, the Crown Prince was ordered by the Emperor to reflect behind closed doors, while Rong Qijun was commanded to preside over the Spring Examination with Han Ande and others.

During this Spring Examination, no incidents that would cause the Emperor displeasure or involve corruption occurred.

— At least on the surface, it was like that.

During this time, the Emperor had Xie Yun, now the Minister of Revenue, frequently visiting the Second Prince Mansion to lecture. You should know, Xie Yun was previously the Crown Prince’s Advisor and was expected to become the Crown Prince’s Tutor and Grand Tutor, an Imperial Tutor, the Emperor’s right-hand man.

His lectures to the Second Prince seemed like a signal, causing the Crown Prince Faction to collapse in the court, while Rong Qijun’s Second Prince Faction quickly rose.

Looking at Rong Qijun, Zhang Fengcai thought, although he once despised Rong Qijun for being incorrigible, perhaps through trials, he could become a wise sovereign.

Behind Rong Qijun, only one guard and the carriage driver followed.

"The servant greets Your Highness," Zhang Fengcai respectfully saluted.

Rong Qijun replied "Oh," quickly stepping forward to personally help him up, smiling warmly:

"Eunuch Zhang, please rise. Eunuch Zhang watched as Qi Jun grew up, and in Qi Jun’s heart, you are an elder. How can Qi Jun deserve an elder’s ceremony?"

Zhang Fengcai raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting that after not seeing him for so long, the Second Prince has become so humble. Could it be that Xie Yun taught him well?

He was internally satisfied and unintentionally smiled: "I do not know what important matter brings Your Highness to my humble abode today?"

Rong Qijun’s face showed a trace of innocent smile: "Is it not possible to visit you without any matter? I, actually want to eat the sweet rice cake you make, do you remember you often made it for me when I was a child."

"It’s nothing rare, I didn’t expect Your Highness to remember, please come in, and I will make it for you immediately."

Zhang Fengcai certainly remembered, that was when His Majesty was still Crown Prince, but he didn’t expect Rong Qijun to keep it in his heart, causing a wave of warmth to rise in his heart.

Zhang Ruoshui and others were arranged in another part of the mansion, Rong Qijun couldn’t possibly know, so Zhang Fengcai welcomed him into the mansion with peace of mind.

Rong Qijun took a rhino horn scroll from the guard, swaying it, speaking brightly:

"By chance, I acquired Chen Dao’s Green Pine Painting a few days ago, knowing you like it, I specially bring it to appreciate together with you."

Zhang Fengcai likes Chen Dao’s artwork, which Rong Qijun accidentally learned. To win him over, Rong Qijun spent significant effort and funds.

"Thank Your Highness for the favor..." Zhang Fengcai couldn’t stop smiling.

He knew Rong Qijun came to win him over, but each thing was tailored to his heart, making him unable to refuse.

Moreover, Rong Qijun’s face bore some resemblance to the Emperor’s, yet the feeling was much more relaxed than the Emperor’s terrifying aura.

At the moment the door closed, Zhang Fengcai paused in his step.

"What is it?" Rong Qijun asked.

Zhang Fengcai shook his head, always feeling someone was secretly watching him...

But it didn’t matter, even if the Second Prince’s visit spread throughout the Capital City, since he welcomed the Second Prince into the mansion, there’s no need for secrecy.

Besides, Zhang Fengcai will always stand by the Emperor’s side, and the Emperor is now standing by Rong Qijun.

It’s just the Second Prince wanting to eat sweet rice cake and inviting me to appreciate paintings together.

"Nothing, let’s go," Zhang Fengcai said.

Rong Qijun smiled slightly, nonchalantly glancing backwards, subtly curling his lips in thought.

Look,

Someone is anxious.

After the door had been closed for a long time, a shadow quickly flashed at the corner outside Zhang Mansion.

The shadow made several turns, directly running to the Eastern Palace, flashing its token, causing no one to dare stop him, allowing him to reach the Crown Prince.
