Chapter 235: Disrespectful
"An old friend of mine is in the capital, and he has some friendship with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Since she is coming to the Imperial Manor, I have to go and meet her."
Zhong Ning said with a smile, then nodded slightly and turned to leave.
The three old men stared at the backs of Zhong Ning and the others as they left, stunned. After a long while, they sighed:
"I originally thought she was just a relative of a high-ranking official in the capital, but who would have thought she even had a personal relationship with the current princess... Did we just say anything inappropriate..."
Old Li exclaimed, "If she complains to the princess about Manager Cai, will the princess do anything?"
"Alas, those nobles will only think that Manager Cai is loyal and commendable, so how could they care about our life or death... Don't hold such expectations..." Old Wang's voice sounded faintly.
The mood of the other two suddenly became depressed again.
However, even though I already knew it in my heart, I still inexplicably held a glimmer of hope.
What if!
What if the princess knew the truth and was willing to take charge of them?
But no one dares to take this kind of eventuality seriously!
Zhong Ning returned to the imperial manor and met Qi Yu who came with a hundred-man team of Black Dragon Guards to protect the emperor.
Qi Yu sat on a tall horse, looking solemn and majestic, looking down at him condescendingly.
It looks particularly pleasing to the eye under the autumn glow.
Zhong Ning looked at this scene and couldn't help but gesture the perspective with his hands. There should be a camera here to record it, or a paintbrush to preserve it forever.
He is indeed the man she likes. How come he is so handsome?
Zhong Ning engraved this scene in his mind and planned to draw it later.
When Qi Yu saw Zhong Ning standing not far away, staring at him intently, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He strode forward and instinctively wanted to hold the person in his arms.
But before he could move, he heard two heavy "coughs". It was Emperor Yong's Prime Minister Lu Xingzhou and others who came out of the imperial manor, staring at him deeply.
That look seemed to be saying, do you dare to be so bold as to try?
Qi Yu pretended not to notice and simply bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you. I am late in protecting you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The Black Dragon Guards standing behind him knelt down in a clatter, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yong glared at Qi Yu angrily, then turned his gaze to the crowd: "Stand up!"
Su Qi had already brought the luxurious carriage that Emperor Yong rode in. Emperor Yong looked back and asked, "Will you return to the capital with me?"
Zhong Ning shook his head slightly, stepped forward and said, "I have some foreign affairs to attend to here, so I can't go back for the time being. Your Majesty, please go back first. I will return after I have dealt with all the miscellaneous matters!"
When Prime Minister Gu heard this, he immediately became anxious.
His son is still recuperating in the princess's mansion. If Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't go back, what if the boy hurts himself again?
Prime Minister Gu looked over eagerly, and Zhong Ning immediately understood: "Prime Minister Gu, don't worry. I have already issued a notice before leaving the palace. If Gu Mingzhe's injuries do not improve within seven days, he will be sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Gu Xiang:.........
His son was completely under the control of Princess Zhaohua.
But then he thought about how His Majesty had already agreed to his son marrying the princess, and when he faced Qi Yu in person, he became more confident and righteous:
"But it's up to His Highness to arrange it. Mingzhe is His Highness's future husband, so everything should be based on His Highness's wishes!"
When Qi Yu heard this, the smile on his lips disappeared immediately, and his face, as sharp as a knife and an axe, was full of coldness.
Minister Gu felt secretly pleased when he saw Qi Yu like this. If anyone dared to threaten his son in private, he would personally restore his son's status.
Emperor Yong was completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere and continued to whisper to Lu Xingzhou beside him with a smile on his face:
"My dear minister, seeing you now, I know that there is a true sense of unity between rulers and subjects in this world. I wish to return to the capital, and I would like to ask you to coordinate everything here!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best and will not let you down!"
Lu Xingzhou replied.
Only then did Qi Yu notice that the handsome young man standing next to the emperor was so deeply loved by the emperor.
And he was living on Princess Zhaohua's farm, could it be...
Qi Yu's jealousy began to boil again...
Although the princess said that she was different from ordinary women and loved delicious food and beautiful women the most, it was impossible for her to stay with only one person in the future.
But hearing and seeing are two different things.
First there was Gu Mingzhe, who was already a handsome and elegant man.
Now there is another Lu Xingzhou, who is upright and has an extraordinary demeanor.
Qi Yu's eyes dimmed slightly, and his fingers pinched into his palm unconsciously, but he saw Princess Zhaohua looking at Lu Xingzhou with admiration, and his heart felt even more bitter.
What is he? Just a shameful concubine.
Where does one get the right to be jealous and blame others?
While he was thinking, Emperor Yong had already been helped into the carriage. Through the window, he could still be seen waving in the direction of Zhong Ning and Lu Xingzhou.
Qi Yu immediately turned around and prepared to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Zhong Ning. She took two quick steps, stood in front of him, and whispered, "I wonder when is Master Qi's birthday? I want to give you a gift..."
The woman's voice was soft and came from below. When Qi Yu turned around, he fell into a deep pool of tenderness.
All the jealousy and sadness instantly melted away at this moment.
Qi Yu frowned slightly, his eyes were gentle, and he replied softly: "The nineteenth of the winter month!"
The nineteenth day of the winter month, isn’t that a month later?
"I understand. Lord Qi, please be careful on your journey!" Zhong Ning smiled sincerely, raised her head slightly, and looked at him with a smile on her face.
Qi Yu moved his fingers, pursed his lips uncomfortably, and forcibly restrained the urge to hug the person in his arms and kiss him. He turned around and mounted his Black Wind Horse.
He looked down at Zhong Ning from above, his eyes fiery and unbridled!
Gu Xiang's face was so angry that it turned green.
This Princess Zhaohua is really...disrespectful!
I really don’t know what his son likes about her?
Was he wrong to go to the palace and ask for a marriage on his own initiative?
Gu Xiang got into the carriage with a grim face. At this moment, he was deeply worried about his son's future, but then he thought that his son, who had been obedient and sensible, had suddenly become stubborn and refused to listen to any persuasion.
Gu Xiang suddenly felt like he had a heart attack!
Whatever, as long as he is alive, it is better than dead.
Fortunately, he has two other sons.
However, his eldest son had already occupied most of his energy, and his sudden rebellion made him disappointed.
The compensation we have made during these days is just to complete the father-son relationship.
From now on, he can only stay on the edge of the family and will no longer be the most valued heir of the Gu family as before.
In life, there is gain and loss.
This path was chosen by him.
Since he felt that his father was too controlling and life was too tiring, and he always felt hopeless, then let's just look at the path he had chosen.
Gu Xiang closed his eyes, and a trace of disappointment emerged in his heart.
The child he taught so carefully eventually turned away from him.
