Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

"Your Highness, let this servant help you change your clothes."

In the ancient palace, a clear and melodious female voice rang out, pleasant and refreshing.

The air was filled with the unique and refreshing fragrance of a mature woman, and Zhou Hao Chen woke up slowly.

The scene on the bed was not what people imagined - eight slender, beautiful legs entangled around his waist, and thin clothes torn and scattered on the floor.

Touching the empty bed, Zhou Hao Chen felt that he was not worthy of being a prince.

"Your Highness, extend your left hand..."

"Your Highness, lift your right foot..."

A tall and slender woman in green, looking about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, was in the prime of her life. She patiently and meticulously helped Zhou Hao Chen put on his gorgeous python robe. Her head was lowered, her dark hair fell down, and the delicate and cold lines of her profile made people's hearts flutter.

Her face was exquisite, and her skin was like jade. Although it was just an ordinary green dress, it highlighted her curvaceous and plump figure, adding a touch of elegance and tenderness.

"Your Highness, do you need to adjust your crotch?"

"No need, Aunt Lan, your craftsmanship is excellent!"

In just one month, Zhou Hao Chen had adapted to the life of a prince.

He had gone from a straight man who only needed three minutes to get up and wash to a prince who couldn't dress himself without a maid's help.

The beautiful woman in green who helped him dress was Qin Qiu Lan, his mother's personal maid.

Although she was called a personal maid, their relationship was like sisters.

When Zhou Hao Chen moved out of the palace, his mother was worried and gave Qin Qiu Lan to him to take care of his daily life.

"Your Highness, today is the day you begin to observe the government."

"Your Highness, it's not that I'm being nosy, but the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have been fighting too fiercely recently." Qin Qiu Lan frowned slightly, revealing a hint of worry.

Thinking of the current situation in the court, Zhou Hao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

The current Empress has no children.

The First Prince was named Crown Prince by Emperor Qian Yuan because of his age and entered the Eastern Palace.

Although the Eastern Palace has an owner, the Crown Prince is not liked by Emperor Qian Yuan and his position is unstable. Other princes are eager to try and replace him.

Among them, the Second Prince has the greatest momentum and is the most likely.

The Second Prince is a Five Elements Spirit Body, a rare genius in Taoism, and has the support of Taoists. There is a considerable voice in the court wanting to abolish the Crown Prince and establish the Second Prince.

As for Zhou Hao Chen, he ranks thirteenth among Emperor Qian Yuan's sons and was born blind.

When he was young, the world's number one medical expert diagnosed that the thirteenth prince's blindness was not due to physical defects, but to a lack of one of the seven spirits.

The lack of the Non-Poison spirit among the seven spirits caused the blindness.

After the transmigration, Zhou Hao Chen's soul was intact, and the blindness was naturally cured.

Zhou Hao Chen hid this situation deeply in his heart and did not tell anyone.

Blindness is his amulet.

How can a blind person be a ruler?

People with physical disabilities can't even be officials, let alone be the ruler of a country.

Because he was blind and posed no threat, the struggle for the throne has never reached him.

As for observing the government, this is an old tradition left over from the previous dynasty.

Scholars who pass the imperial examination are not immediately granted official positions, but are sent to various departments such as the Six Ministries and Nine Courts to intern in government affairs.

This practice was promoted by the Great Yu Emperor and extended to princes, descendants of the imperial family, and descendants of meritorious officials.

After putting on the python robe, Zhou Hao Chen said, "Aunt Lan, help me tie the silk ribbon."

The black silk ribbon covered his eyes.

Slender jade hands moved nimbly behind his head, tying a delicate bow.

The black silk ribbon was what Zhou Hao Chen insisted on wearing.

First, it could prevent people from discovering that he had regained his sight.

Second, the slightly transparent black silk ribbon would not completely block his vision.

"Your Highness, your crutch."

Qin Qiu Lan brought Zhou Hao Chen's essential equipment - a rosewood crutch, with exquisitely carved patterns, which was obviously made by a master.

After finishing breakfast, the carriage was already ready.

The two dragon steeds pulling the carriage were tall and mighty, their black scales exuding a trace of coldness, exuding majesty without anger.

The dragon steed is a different species cultivated by the Great Yu royal family. It contains a trace of dragon blood in its body and can travel thousands of miles a day without exhaustion.

Only members of the royal family can enjoy such steeds.

If a foreign minister is given a dragon steed by Emperor Qian Yuan, it would be a great honor.

Sitting in the carriage and driving towards the imperial city, the ride was very smooth, and the comfort was not inferior to that of a Rolls-Royce.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial city.

A eunuch in a tea-colored robe was already waiting at the gate of the imperial palace.

"This servant greets Your Highness."

"Eunuch Wang, you are too polite."

Zhou Hao Chen nodded. The Eunuch Wang in front of him was a senior eunuch in the palace.

Among the thousands of eunuchs in the entire palace, his status could rank in the top ten. Zhou Hao Chen, as a prince, was unwilling to offend him.

Since it was Emperor Qian Yuan's personal summons, Qin Qiu Lan could not accompany him. She had no choice but to step forward quickly, walk to Eunuch Wang's side, and stuff a silver note into his hand.

"Your Highness suffers from an eye disease, please take care of him."

"Miss Lan, you are too kind. His Highness is a dragon son, how dare this servant neglect him?"

Eunuch Wang smiled, his face full of amiability, and stuffed the silver note into his sleeve.

Then he winked at the palace maid behind him.

"Zi Zhu, support His Highness, don't let him stumble."

Zhou Hao Chen, whose eyesight had recovered, no longer needed anyone's support, but he still allowed the palace maid Zi Zhu to support him.

The girl's delicate and slender, boneless jade hands touched the skin on his arm, conveying a delicate and jade-like touch.

Supported by the palace maid, he passed through layers of palaces and came to the entrance of the imperial study.

A solemn and dignified atmosphere rushed towards him.

The atmosphere outside the imperial study alone made Zhou Hao Chen feel as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

"Is this the majesty of the emperor?"

Zhou Hao Chen sighed slightly in his heart. This was the first time he had met his cheap old man alone since he crossed over a month ago.

"Thirteenth Highness, His Majesty is reviewing memorials, please wait a moment."

Eunuch Wang said with a smile.

"My father is worried about state affairs, I, as his son, naturally cannot disturb him." Zhou Hao Chen lowered his voice.

After waiting for about half an hour, Emperor Qian Yuan finally summoned Zhou Hao Chen.

"Summon the Thirteenth Highness!"

Zhou Hao Chen walked into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, beaded curtains hung down. On the imperial desk, a Pixiu-shaped incense burner emitted wisps of green smoke, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, fragrant and rich.

The golden figure sitting beside the desk gave Zhou Hao Chen a feeling of being unable to breathe just by looking at it.

What a strong power!

It was like a five-clawed true dragon, lying in front of him.

Emperor Qian Yuan, wearing a dragon robe, was unsmiling and exuded majesty.

"Greetings, Father Emperor!"

"You may rise!"

Emperor Qian Yuan's calm voice sounded, his eyes, as deep as an abyss, containing a faint light, and his gaze fell on Zhou Hao Chen.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Chen'er, you are sixteen this year."

"According to royal rules, you must start observing the government when you turn sixteen. What are your thoughts, Chen'er?"

Zhou Hao Chen bowed slightly and cupped his hands.

"I will obey Father Emperor's orders in everything."

"Obey all my arrangements? Then what if I ask you to guard the Heavenly Prison? Would you be willing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the imperial study froze to the extreme.

"This son is willing!"

Emperor Qian Yuan stared at Zhou Hao Chen's lowered face for a moment, and the aura on his body slightly restrained, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, melting the invisible ice in the imperial study.

"The Ministry of Appointments, the Ministry of Works, and the Secret Realm Division, choose one yourself."

At this moment, Zhou Hao Chen's eyebrows felt hot.

In his sea of consciousness, a Bagua diagram was suspended.

In the Bagua diagram, the Qian, Zhen, Xun, and Kan trigrams suddenly bloomed with golden light, flying out of the Bagua diagram and combining in pairs to form new trigrams.

[Wind and Thunder: Supreme Luck, choosing to observe the government in the Ministry of Works, focusing on completing your own tasks, the dragon is hidden in the abyss, unafraid of the struggle for the throne, you can get a second-grade opportunity, great luck.]

[Heaven and Water: Medium Luck, choosing to observe the government in the Ministry of Appointments, you can get a fourth-grade opportunity, but you will offend the Crown Prince and be forced to be involved in the struggle for the throne, with endless troubles, small misfortune.]

[Heaven and Thunder: Lowest Luck, choosing to observe the government in the Secret Realm Division, you will be involved in a monstrous case, the city gate catches fire and brings disaster to the fish, you will be suspected by Emperor Qian Yuan, nine deaths and one life, great misfortune.]
