Rong Shuihe had gone to the seat not far away from Princess Gaomi and sat down. Seeing that Zhao Sisters were still there, he frowned and said coldly, "You get out of here, too! I want to have a word alone with Her Grace."
Seeing that her two nieces had left loathly, especially Zhao Taoxuan, Princess Gaomi raised her eyebrows and said in amazement, "My dear son, what do you want to talk with me? Even though you don't want Taoxuan here, you should be gentle with her. See. She was scared by you!"
Though Princess Gaomi said that, she herself was quite pleased inwardly. She had seen that Rong Shuihe was very close to Zhao Taoxuan a few days ago, even closer to her, his natural mother. However, when he had something important to discuss, he finally chose to trust her, his mother, rather than Zhao Taoxuan.
But she was stunned by what Rong Shuihe said next. He said, "I want to marry Princess Kangzhao."
"Kangzhao?" Princess Gaomi was in wi
Rong Shuihe departed alone after a moment.Princess Gaomi summoned Nanny Zhao and Madam Qi as his figure disappeared into Yuedong Gate, "I'd like you to inquire about Princess Kangzhao's dispositions and personalities as soon as possible... I want everything in detail!"Nanny Zhao and Madam Qi were both bemused, "Why should we investigate Princess Kangzhao all of a sudden? Will she be in trouble? But we suppose the Empress will defend her in any cases, given that they're so close. Will a little girl like her ever confront a difficult enemy that necessitates our intervention to solve?""Shuihe told me just now that he fancies Princess Kangzhao!" Princess Gaomi dropped her mask in Rong Shuihe's absence and let her temper snap, "But Senior Master Sheng is opposed to their marriage because he'd like to steer clear of the political rivalry... According to what I found about him, Shuihe was rather determined to marry that girl! He brought up t
Unaware of Gongsun Xi's despair, Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Shuihe made their way to the side hall located on the southeast as they chitchatted. Chunlai, who had been waiting for their coming, showed them in with a smile.Sheng Weiqiao asked as they stepped in, "How's Her Grace the Empress Dowager now?""Her Grace woke up just now and summoned the Empress and Guangling King." Chunlai said, "As I learned, Guangling King offered to compensate Eleventh Miss Meng by making her his side princess... Despite feeling sorry for Eleventh Miss Meng, Her Grace accepted it. After all, they had made a big scene. Though she had settled another marriage before, it had to be..."They stepped into the hall at this point.No screen was placed inside, probably considering the size of the side hall and the current mild season.Chunlai was embarrassed as she raised her head and caught a glimpse of the people present. To her surprise, Cho
Having heard Gongsun Xi's words, Empress Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Shuihe were stunned."Gaomi King once asked Prince Mizhen to punish me and kick me out. With Prince Mizhen's persuasion, Gaomi King didn't show his disagreement anymore. However, Gaomi King dotes on Huai Yuan Marquis' Young Lord since he is Gaomi King's grandson. Since he was a child, his grandfather has been close to him. Besides, he has powerful background because the Huai Yuan Marquis Mansion and the Gaomi King Mansion are both located in Chang'an." Before Rong Shuihe could say anything, Gongsun Xi continued, "Even though Princess Gaomi was nice enough, Prince Mizhen might have conflicts with his family because of me. How would I be able to stay around?""Prince Mizhen, Gongsun Xi is a reasonable person. Do you still want to keep your mind?" Empress Meng said hastily, "Although I'm not a good person, I still understand the significance of being grat
After hearing this, Rong Shuihe glanced at Sheng Weiqiao with a smile, "You really want to know that?"Sheng Weiqiao nodded. But Rong Shuihe touched his chin and said, "There are no free lunches in life. So you have to offer me some bribes."Sheng Weiqiao looked around. Then she pointed to a row of luxuriant trees and said shyly, "Can we go there?"Rong Shuihe knew Sheng Weiqiao was so shy that she was absolutely unwilling to have intimate contact with him in public. So he was just joking.But he never expected that Sheng Weiqiao had agreed to his request this time. Rong Shuihe beamed with happiness and followed Sheng Weiqiao without hesitation.However...As soon as they arrived, Sheng Weiqiao who was shy before instantly became violent. She seized his one ear, lifted her skirt, and kicked him rapidly.As she was cursing, "Bribes? How dare you ask me for bribes? I should give you a bla
Princess Gaomi was startled by what she saw. She said in a high voice that she had rarely done so in the past few decades. She almost screamed, "Shuihe! How did you get this injury?"Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously took a look. Rong Shuihe was closing his clothes calmly, but Sheng Weiqiao still clearly saw that there were several scars on his strong chest.That reminded her of the first time she had visited Rong Shuihe who had just come to Sheng Mansion. When she arrived at Xiezhu Pavilion where he lived, she saw him applying medicine. So she asked subconsciously, "Haven't you ever told this to your family?""You knew that?" Princess Gaomi was almost heartbroken. She only knew that Rong Shuihe had strayed for fifteen years. In those years, he was abducted by the traffickers and had to struggle for his life on the sea. At that time, the son of a mistress of Sheng Lanci died. The person, who was asked to take care of the boy, wa
"Stand still!" Sheng Weiqiao felt ashamed and angry when she realized Li Shengxu had kissed her again in front of her maid. She shouted as she chased him, "I will punish you severely!""I won't stop unless you stop punishing me." Li Shengxu was delighted. He looked back at Sheng Weiqiao when he ran. Unfortunately, there was a flight of descending steps but he didn't notice that. Sheng Weiqiao alerted him to the steps, "Be careful to your step!"Li Shengxu thought she was lying. So he didn't listen to her but made a face, "Be careful to your head!"But as saying that, he missed his step and fell, rolling down from the top, like a ball.Sheng Weiqiao was speechless.Even Juli, who followed Sheng Weiqiao, also felt ridiculous.Sheng Weiqiao worried that Li Shengxu got injured again, so she stopped blaming him for kissing her but to run down the steps. She supported him and said with concern, "Are you o
"Those from the Sheng Family are suspicious of me. If I didn't talk with them, they would guard against me as if I had been a thief!" Princess Qingfang said helplessly to her sister Princess Huihe and her cousins Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoxuan.Although Zhao Sisters had been involved in the trouble Yuan Family made, Zhao Taoxuan was still unsatisfied with Yuan Liujin and Yuan Kai for the sake of Rong Shuihe. However, just like what Huan Yuan Marquis's Young Lord had expected, Princess Qingfang was still very kind to her cousins and didn't blame them for that incident.Princess Qingfang had apologized to them on behalf of her brother-in-law and her son, and she promised that she would teach them a lesson so that they would not make the mistake again.Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoxuan were reasonable persons, so they didn't fixate on that. Instead, they also offered their apologies to her, which brought them together again.Aft
Zhao Taozhuang tensed herself, listening to see if her quasi-rival in love really excelled in something.Princess Qingfang did open her lips as if to say something. But then, she just smiled, "What else can the reason be?"Next, she pointed at Zhao Taozhuang and then said, "It is just the same as the reason why you and your companions paid a special visit to Princess Kangzhao. Well, Third Brother is quite indifferent to members of Gaomi King Family. But meanwhile, he is very close to members of Sheng Family. If I successfully arrange a marriage between Second Brother and a girl of Sheng Family, Third Brother may help persuade our parents into bringing Second Brother home as a favor to Sheng Family.""But it seems that Cousin Shuihe does not give equal treatment to members of Sheng Family. Among members of Sheng Family who are in Chang'an, he cares the most about Princess Kangzhao and Senior Master Sheng." Zhao Taoxuan did expect Rong Qin
