CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 349: SCREW YOUR TRAGIC BEAUTY (PART 19)

They couldn’t climb the ladder of a wealthy family, so they didn’t hope for it either.

"..." After hearing his father say so much, explaining almost word by word, Tian Yaozong finally understood his father’s painstaking efforts.

"Alright, anyway, things are like this, it’s too late to regret now!"

Tian Yaozong understood, but still felt a bit reluctant, muttering these words.

Mr. Tian just felt a bit breathless; he was getting old, and his son wasn’t very smart, he really didn’t even dare to die.

Tian Yaozong, unaware of Mr. Tian’s troubles, was stirred by words like "ability" and "ambition" from his father, and began gossiping with him.

"Dad, I seemed to see Han Sanlang from Hanjiaping when I went to the Yamen earlier!"

Tian Yaozong’s eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, "He was wearing shiny armor, riding a tall horse, with a lot of personal soldiers behind him, it seemed he did well."

According to his mother Old Lady Han’s side, Tian Yaozong was Han Sanlang’s uncle.

Unfortunately, three years ago, Old Lady Han was sold by Mr. Tian, and her fate was unknown.

If his mother were still around, they might have been able to connect with Han Sanlang and them due to sharing the Han surname.

"Han Sanlang?"

Mr. Tian was taken aback, "Han Sanlang from Hanjiaping? Your maternal family’s kin?"

"Yes, when we were fleeing famine back then, we traveled together. Unfortunately, when we reached Heyin, the Han family stayed there, and we continued to Prefecture City."

Saying this, Tian Yaozong seemed to remember something and said a bit regretfully, "I remember at that time, the Eldest Miss Wei, oh no, Her Highness Eldest Princess Yongan was recruiting new soldiers in Heyin, and I heard several brothers from the Han family went."

Tian Yaozong never considered joining the military, but seeing the successful Han Sanlang now, he couldn’t help but fantasize: If I had sided with the Northwest Prince at that time, could I have achieved something like the Han men?

"No way!"

Seemingly reading Tian Yaozong’s mind, Mr. Tian firmly said.

Although in Mr. Tian’s heart, his son was as good as could be.

But he had to admit, there was one thing his son couldn’t do, and that was endure hardships and fight bravely!

His Yaozong had just suffered a bit in recent years; in the hometown, he had never even held a hoe.

So delicate, let alone going to war, he couldn’t even do farm work.

If Tian Yaozong really joined the military, he would be lucky to desert, otherwise, he might lose his life directly.

Tian Yaozong: ...Dad, I am your son, you don’t have to look down on me like this.

"Enough, let’s not gossip about others and hurry to leave the city; autumn is coming soon, maybe we can harvest a batch of grain!"

The more Mr. Tian looked at his son, the more exhausted he felt, unwilling to waste words, and didn’t want to think about the wife he sold when talking about the Han family.

He said a few words without much warmth and quickly urged Tian Yaozong out of the city.

Actually, it wasn’t just Tian Yaozong who noticed the Han family; finally following the Eldest Young Master, oh no, now it was the Eldest Prince.

Emperor Tiantai formally ascended the throne, and Wei Songnian had also suddenly become a prince.

One person’s success brings benefits to others, Qiu Yuying, as the favored concubine of the Eldest Prince, even received the title of noble woman.

Yes, you read it right, Qiu Yuying "got promoted," no longer a maid of the study, but a fifth-rank Prince’s Consort.

However, because the Eldest Prince was an adult with a wife and children, Emperor Tiantai directly granted him the title of Prince Wei, allowing him to establish his mansion.

Qiu Yuying also moved with the Eldest Prince to Prince Wei’s Mansion, and even had her courtyard, along with palace attendants and eunuchs serving her.

Qiu Yuying’s appearance wasn’t too outstanding, but she was sent to the Eldest Prince by the Eldest Princess Yongan, served the Eldest Prince for years, and was definitely a confidant.

Apart from early favors, Qiu Yuying also foresaw some events through dreaming, successfully raising her status in the Eldest Prince’s mind.

In addition, Qiu Yuying also proposed some improvements in glazing techniques and methods of purifying wine, earning considerable money for merchants under the Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince valued her more and more, and seeing her deliberate closeness, easily took her as a concubine.

After Daqi was established, the Eldest Prince was titled Prince Wei, and his wives and concubines also received noble titles.

Prince Wei valued Qiu Yuying, making her a noble woman second only to Princess Consort Wei.

Qiu Yuying became seemingly the most favored woman of Prince Wei, even the Princess had to yield to her a bit in Prince Wei’s Mansion.
