CH 69
Zhao Zhi, however, suddenly started talking about something else, “In the past, my mother used to hope that I would marry a woman that I really loved.”
However, Zhao Zhi was difficult to influence.
After a few times, his mother stopped trying to persuade him.
Even Zhao Zhi himself wasn’t too interested in these kind of matters, marrying an educated and reasonable girl was enough.
Later, his father told him that, in this life, it was best not to have any weakness.
He was the crown prince, the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
He had no room to make mistakes.
Ming Zhu didn’t say anything.
Zhao Zhi also did not intend to say anything more.
He was most likely a little sleepy and, leaning quietly against the side of the bed, he closed his eyes.
Chapter 69
(23.3)
Ming Zhu originally wanted to ask the maids to go fetch water and help him to wash his face, but now she couldn’t do so because this man was asleep, while holding her wrist with great force.
Unable to pull out her hand, Ming Zhu was exhausted and gave up. Reaching out her fingertips, she poked his waist with strength in a childish attempt to vent her anger.
Zhao Zhi woke up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. Opening his eyes, he saw the woman sleeping beside him, with messy hair, looking somewhat restless in her sleep.
His head was still aching badly. Sitting up, he lifted the bed quilt and got out of bed with careful movements. He poured himself a glass of water to quench the dryness in his throat.
The sky was already starting to brighten up, it was almost dawn.
Zhao Zhi smelled his own clothes, which still carried the lingering smell of alcohol. He frowned and went to the side-room to have a bath and change clothes.
He changed into a set of lake-green colored zhizhui, looking fresh and clean.
Zhao Zhi called the attendant and said, “You called her over yesterday?”
The attendant was startled, “You were the one who absolutely insisted for miss Ming Zhu to come.”
Zhao Zhi’s head still hurt. He couldn’t remember clearly some images but he still remembered what words he had said or hadn’t said.
Zhao Zhi looked down at him coldly, “Keep your voice down.”
The attendant’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, “Yes, yes, yes.”
“Get out.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Zhao Zhi was sitting quietly by the window as some memories of last night slowly came back to his mind.
He had a good memory, what he and Ming Zhu talked about last night, he slowly recalled and remembered all of it.
The little lady’s face was lowered as she very seriously told him that sentence “Because I, do not love you”, which kept being repeated in his ears.
Zhao Zhi clenched the cup in his hand, after a long time, he recovered his calm and walked to the bedside. Staring at her for a long time, he sighed in resignation and silently covered her with the quilt.
Pondering for a moment, he then took the peace talisman, the one he had requested more than half a month ago at Changtai mountain, and put it next to her pillow.
He was unsure whether this peace talisman would work or not.
But if it could really protect her and make sure that she would live a long and safe life, it was also good.
The news that the crown prince had taken the fifth young lady of the Ming family as his concubine was now spreading like wildfire.
Early in the morning, after court, there were still a few people discussing on this matter. The Ming family’s eldest master was surrounded by his colleagues, feeling deeply embarrassed from all the congratulations and praise he was receiving.
After exchanging pleasantries with his colleagues, the Ming family’s eldest master immediately proceeded to go boot-lick the crown prince.
He chased after the crown prince without any regard for his dignity. Finally catching up to his steps, he seemed hesitant to speak, “Your Highness, Ming Zhu may not know how to behave quite yet, I hope you may be more tolerant towards her in the future.”
Zhao Zhi didn’t pay him any mind, and wasn’t even listening to him.
The Ming family eldest master cheekily brought up his main purpose, “Your Highness, Ming Zhu, from her childhood, has always been close to her third uncle, you see, him, this ……”
He hadn’t finished half of his sentence.
When Zhao Zhi lightly laughed, “Close?”
The Ming family’s eldest master nodded his head under great pressure so that his brother could have the opportunity to be reinstated in his post, “Yes ah.”
Zhao Zhi didn’t bother to pretend with him and just directly pierced his lies, “What kind of days she used to live in the Ming family ? I don’t need to say more, right?”
The Ming family eldest master was immediately dumbstruck. As he looked at the crown prince’s back, he thought with hatred that they still had to wait for a legitimate daughter of the family to marry into the crown prince’s residence. Once she was his side-consort, she would then be able to whisper into the crown prince’s ears on their pillow, that was the only way.
Ming Zhu, that d**n girl, just wasn’t reliable.
If the crown prince was in a hurry to return to the residence, of course, that was because he had an important matter to handle.
He was drunk last night and lost his bearing.
Zhao Zhi still had to catch Ming Zhu and force her to give him a birthday gift.
After one year of rainy nights, didn’t she, with tears in her eyes, still want to offer Wei Chiyu his birthday gift ?
Last night he was easy to bully because he had too much to drink, now that he was sober, he wouldn’t be as easy to fool.
(24.1)
It was early spring in march, on the tip of the tree’s branches, new buds were growing, green and tender. The wind was blowing through the branches, it felt warm and harmonious.
Ming Zhu during these two days was free to come out as she wanted. Maybe Zhao Zhi thought that since her name had now been recorded on the jade register, she wouldn’t struggle anymore, and thus didn’t order people to specially restrain her.
The sun was shining over her face and felt a bit scorching.
When the sun wasn’t so scorching anymore, Ming Zhu had people carry two chairs and let them set the chairs in the courtyard. As she was idle with nothing to do, she started embroidering a small scented pouch.
However, Zhao Zhi was difficult to influence.
