Zhao Yong spent a night at the hunting ground and returned to the Foreign Guest Pavilion the next day. He knew that Mo Rongzhan had returned to the city last night. Something must have happened. He asked Xu Jiang to find out, but he only knew that the young prince of Jin had returned from Nanyue.
"Get ready. We'll return to Qi in three days!" Zhao Yong ordered Song Hongao.
So soon? Had he discussed it with Mo Rongzhan? "Your Majesty talked to Mo Rongzhan about the marriage today?"
"Mo Rongzhan is not willing to abolish the Empress!" Zhao Yong said with a frown. "Is he a sentimental person or is he stubborn? Could it be that he still cares about his wife who has gone through hardships? Lu Yaoyao is not his wife who has gone through hardships!"
Song Hongao recalled how stunned he was when he saw Lu Yaoyao and the comments others had about her. He said in a low voice, "No man can bear to hurt her!"
Zhao Yong looked at Song Hongao. "Are you charmed by Lu Yaoyao too?"
"I'm also a man. As a man, I'm naturally stunned by a beauty!" Song Hongao said expressionlessly.
"Has Liu Qiao 'er arrived?" Zhao Yong asked suddenly.
Song Hongao resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "I've redeemed her. She's staying in the room to the west."
Zhao Yong nodded in satisfaction. "Don't go out today. I'm going to Chengde Villa!"
Song Hongao was shocked. "Your Majesty, Chengde Villa is heavily guarded. It won't be easy to get in!"
"It might be heavily guarded for others, but not for me!" Zhao Yong smiled domineeringly. "Don't let anyone know that I've left the capital. Mo Rongzhan will definitely send people to keep an eye on this place!"
"If Mo Rongzhan finds out, we won't even need the marriage!" The two countries would start fighting!
Zhao Yong smiled and said, "We will go and see what kind of person can make Mo Rongzhan choose a beauty over his country. Even our Heir Song, who has never been close to women and is considered a homosexual, is moved. If we do not go and take a look at this peerless beauty, we will definitely not be able to sleep when we go back."
Song Hongao forced a stiff smile. "Your Majesty, you must sleep well!"
Zhao Yong patted his shoulder. "Cover for me!"
"Your Majesty, I advise you not to do this!" Song Hongao said helplessly. "Lu Yaoyao is not the woman you've seen before. She looks very different!"
"We will go and see how different she is," Zhao Yong said matter-of-factly.
Song Honao still wanted to persuade him. He understood his Emperor too well. Although he was not a lecherous person, with his attitude towards women, how could he not be moved when he saw Lu Yaoyao? It was fine if he was a playboy, but what he was most afraid of was truly being moved.
As an emperor, it's not a good thing to fall for a woman.
Zhao Yong didn't give Song Honao a chance to persuade him. He had already turned around and left.
Song Honao looked at the Emperor who had disappeared from the roof and sighed helplessly. He walked towards Liu Qiao'er's room and told her to stay in the room and not come out. She could just pretend that the Prince was in the room and wanted her to serve him.
Liu Qiao'er was a smart person. She had been in the brothel for so many years, and it wasn't that there hadn't been men who wanted to redeem her, but she had never accepted. In the brothel, she was also a servant. Even the brothel keeper had to give her some face. Why would she have to look at the face of the legal wife? Until she met Zhao Zhongshen. She really fell in love with such a valiant man. Moreover, this man was a Prince. If she served him well, she could even become a side concubine!
"Lord Song, don't worry. This concubine knows what to do. I will definitely let people know that the Prince is with this concubine!" Liu Qiao'er said coquettishly. The Prince was in a high position and definitely had many things to do. She was naturally happy to be able to help.
Song Honao nodded lightly. "Thank you, Miss Liu!"
Liu Qiao'er didn't ask where Zhao Yong went. She closed the door and a flirtatious and enchanting voice came from inside.
"Prince, don't be anxious. This concubine will definitely serve you well!"
"…" Song Honao's face stiffened and he quickly left.
After a few steps, he saw Zhao Ning looking at him with an ugly expression.
"Princess Ning!" Song Honao lowered his head and bowed.
Zhao Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Qiao'er's door. "Heir Song, you're early!"
Song Honao coughed lightly. "The Emperor drank too much. This one sent the Emperor back to rest!"
"Resting in someone else's room?" Zhao Ning asked with a smile that wasn't a smile. She had seen Liu Qiao'er yesterday. Although she didn't know her identity, it wasn't hard to guess her identity from the way she spoke and acted.
"Miss Liu is the Prince's confidante!" Song Honao said expressionlessly.
Zhao Ning smiled. "It seems that Uncle Wang has many confidantes!"
Actually, she didn't realize that Zhao Zhongshen had brought a woman back. It was only when she heard Zhao Xin scolding Liu Qiao'er yesterday that she knew that Uncle Wang had brought a confidante. According to Zhao Xin, Uncle Wang also had many confidantes in the State of Qi!
Song Honao's hearing was better. He could vaguely hear Liu Qiao'er's voice. He couldn't let Zhao Ning hear it. "Princess Ning, why don't we talk in front?"
Zhao Ning said, "I originally wanted to look for Uncle Wang. Since Uncle Wang isn't free, I'll come back later!"
"His Highness isn't free today!" Song Honao said in a low voice.
"So busy!" Zhao Ning smiled. "Then I'll go out for a walk!"
Song Honao said, "Where does Princess Ning want to go? This one can send you off!"
"No need, Crown Prince Song, go ahead. I just heard that the Hu Guo Temple in the capital is very efficacious. I want to pray there!" Zhao Ning said.
"Then this one will get someone to send you there!" Song Honao said.
Zhao Ning smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Crown Prince Song!"
Song Honao nodded lightly. "I'll arrange it now!"
Watching Song Honao walk away, Zhao Ning turned back to look at Liu Qiao'er's room. She turned around and was about to go back. After a few steps, she saw Zhao Xin's ugly face. She sighed in disgust. She felt that Zhao Xin was like a madman. She would bite whoever she wanted. It was as if no one in the world was pleasing to her eyes!
"Do you think that if you take the opportunity to get close to Song Honao, Imperial Father will make her your son-in-law?" Zhao Xin stared coldly at Zhao Ning.
"… What are you thinking about all day?" Zhao Ning looked at her as if she was looking at an idiot.
Zhao Xin wanted Song Honao to be her son-in-law, so she was extremely vigilant of Zhao Ning's every move towards Song Honao. When she saw the two of them talking and laughing together, the anger in her heart immediately flared. "Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you're a princess? Zhao Ning, wait until you reach Qi, then you'll know what you are!"
"Then what are you?" Zhao Ning retorted.
"The Emperor wants to betroth a princess to Marquis Anning. The Emperor values him very much. Although he's a bit old, he doesn't have a legal wife. The eldest princess and second sister are already betrothed. Now, the most suitable person is you. Maybe when you reach Qi, I'll have to congratulate you!" Zhao Xin said with schadenfreude.
She had eavesdropped on her eldest brother and second sister saying that the Emperor wanted to choose the one with the shallowest foundation to marry Marquis Anning. Qi had yet to betroth a princess with a shallowest foundation. Wasn't that Zhao Ning, who had run out of nowhere?
A princess who doesn't even have a mother, it's best to have her in hand.
