Powerful Farmer
Mother Empress

Staggered, the first prince walked down the halls of the palace towards the empress' residence.

He impatiently entered the room, calling his mother.

"Mother Empress, empress mother....".

"What's up, son, you're drunk again yeah, what's up, why do you look so anxious".

"Third Prince Ma'am, the third prince has recovered from his curse".

"Huss, don't say it out loud, do you want everyone in this palace to listen to your voice".

"Sorry Mom, I'm so anxious, what if she's completely recovered. The Emperor's father would have entrusted the crown prince's office to him ".

The first prince softened his voice, he forgot that his surroundings were not free from spies who would figure out his weakness.

"Why are you so panicked, have you ascertained the truth ".

"Yes ma'am, it was her lover who had just been awarded the title of Great Princess by the Emperor had confirmed it, she said, he said that the third prince could already lift his tree and he was so strong that he could do it any number of times in a day".

"Oh really!!!".

Hearing the first prince's words, the empress so imagined the appearance of the third Prince who was his stepson.

"Mother, this is so bad, didn't grandfather say that his body was impossible to recover. Why can it be like that".

The first prince did not realize that his mother was daydreaming.

"Oh yeah, it's unlikely but that doesn't mean it's impossible, but you don't have to worry either".

"How can I not worry mother, if the third prince is completely recovered".

"Be calm, son, although the third prince's body is not necessarily the Emperor will raise him to be crown prince".

"Why mother?".

The first prince was astonished to hear his mother's words.

"I heard from the Eunuch guarding the door of the small pavilion, yesterday there was a debate between the Emperor and him because the Great Princess refused to marry the prince who had a concubine, she only wanted to have her husband alone. How could the Emperor agree to such an extremely selfish request".

"This child is an opportunity for you, not to oppose their relationship, instead we must more strongly encourage the Grand Princess to insist on her stance not to allow the third prince to marry again ".

"If that were to happen, wouldn't the third prince have no chance of fulfilling the Emperor's requirement to be crown prince, because as crown prince shouldn't he have to choose a concubine before marrying his empress".

The third prince immediately felt enlightened.

"Yes, try also to approach the Great Princess".

"Why should I approach her, don't you say we should strengthen their relationship".

The first prince did not understand his mother's intentions, he became confused as to what her mother really meant. Why should he approach her, she is not at all interested in Joan, though beautiful but for the measure of beauty in the capital, Joan is just mediocre. The first prince was actually somewhat astonished, there were many noble women who were much prettier than Joan who approached the third prince but all this time none of them could attract the attention of the third prince.

Back the first prince was enlightened, his mother was really great to the point of being able to think that far

"Yes mom, I understand now. I'm going back to the party at the palace".

"Yes but wash your face first and do not drink again, how will you attract the attention of the girl if it looks like a mess like this".

"Good ma'am".

The first prince turned to wash his face and take medicine to ease his hangover and he immediately returned to the party.

Joan who was chatting with Melly, Bai Ji Gur, Mona and some young women she had just met were shocked to see the first prince coming back. His face was already looking fresher like he had just washed his face. Also change into new clothes so that it looks more elegant than when he was drunk earlier.

Andi hasn't come back yet, it's been almost an hour he hasn't come, maybe the Emperor has a really important affair. Joan of course did not want to bother Andi for his affairs with the Emperor. He patiently waited.

The first prince approached Joan, this time his attitude was much more polite so it was quite inviting Joan's curiosity. Why did the first prince seem to be a different person.

"Good night ladies, sorry to bother you guys again, may I sit here".

The prince no longer expelled Joan's friends, instead he offered to sit with them. Of course Joan's friends did not mind and although they objected, it was also impossible to expel her. The first prince will be counted as the host in the event.

"Please prince, no one can ban you if the prince wants to sit here".

Joan said with sour taste in her words. The prince pretended not to notice that, instead with a wide smile, he sat across from Joan at the round table.

Joan did not want to pay attention to the first prince, she did not really want to talk to him. The first prince seemed to pay no attention to Joan's displeasure and acted like he was meeting her best friend.

It was undeniable that the first prince had such conversational prowess in speaking that he could briefly provoke a conversation with some of the young ladies.

Cheerful laughter occasionally sounded from the group of people at the table so that a little more provoked the attention of the people who were at the party.

Joan occasionally answered the first prince's questions and she had to be honest that the first prince was indeed a well-informed person and a good interlocutor. Unlike the more reserved Andi, more work than talk.

As they were conversing, the third prince came. From a distance he could see the excitement at the table where Joan was sitting.

He was surprised to see the first prince among the young women, apparently talking to Joan occasionally.

Andi was a little jealous to see Joan laughing with the other female friends hearing the first prince's jokes. Joan rarely laughed when she was with him.

Andi watched them from a distance but she suppressed her jealousy. He knew Joan would not be so easy to turn to the first prince much less Andi knew Joan's principles regarding marriage.

The first prince had many concubines, so there was no way Joan would be interested in him. Andi walked slowly toward the table where Joan was sitting.

Noticing the arrival of the third prince, the first prince deliberately raised his voice.

"Thank you, Grand Princess, you're such a lovely interlocutor. Next time I hope the two of us can meet again or if tomorrow you have time, all of us here can go together to the imperial garden."

"We can go together, it's great, I'm sure to go ".

Said one of the young women at the table. Who is the young woman in the country who does not dream of being close to the first prince. Although everyone knows that the first prince is a playboy but who can get rid of the temptation to be noticed by one of the next Emperor candidates.
