Chapter 209 - 208 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (6) Fourth Watch of the Night
Speaking of the Seventh Prince, he too was a legendary figure at the Royal Court.
At the age of three, he could compose poetry, and by seven, he had begun martial arts training. By ten, there was not a single minister in the court who could outdebate him.
The Seventh Prince’s mother was also the emperor’s most favored concubine. However, shortly after giving birth to him, she passed away due to frail health, leaving the emperor to pour all his affection onto him.
Therefore, the Seventh Prince’s name was different from the other princes who had only single character names.
Yuwen Yunshi.
To watch the clouds rise at the opportune moment.
Just hearing this name revealed the emperor’s great expectations of him, and by thirteen, he had already won the recognition of everyone at court.
However, the Seventh Prince was quite an oddity—he left the Imperial City at the age of fourteen due to the lack of scholars and literati that dared to compare with him and roamed the Jianghu instead.
He even made it clear to the emperor that he had no interest in the throne, which infuriated the emperor to the point of ignoring him for several days.
Despite all this, when the Seventh Prince left for Jianghu, the emperor bestowed upon him the honorary title of an idle prince.
