798: To the Town

To the Town

He was worried that Chaoyan would not be happy about this. Chaoyan never spoke about many things, but he understood what she was like, after spending so much time with her.2

He would definitely not spare a look at those maids, but he was worried that Chaoyan would not be pleased.

He did not think that it was good to make Chaoyan sad just because of two maids.

Zhou Huaijin subconsciously had the intention of turning him down.

The King was already at the edge of getting angry. "You have to accept them since they are granted to you. I am informing you, not asking you for your opinion."

"…"

"Anyway, we are done here, you can leave." The King bellowed.

Zhou Huaijin had a bad look on his face as well.

He answered briefly and then he left.

Zhou Huailing still remained in the Qianqing Palace. He looked at his father's face and poured tea for him. "Father, drink some tea, don't get mad about Eighth Brother. He is just like his mother, always dreaming about getting one person to spend the rest of his life with. Life is not as simple as this. If he wants to do that, just leave him alone. Let's see how much further he can go."

The King was not angry any more at this moment. He calmed down.

Ling was right. He was exactly like his own mother. That was what the Queen was like. When she got together with him, she had been dreaming about having only him for the rest of her life, but he was the King and he was never going to have just one wife. Gradually, she gave up and even helped him to take care of those girls.

When the King thought of the Queen, he suddenly felt his heart soften.

He had been very angry a while ago. He did not like it when his Eighth son countered his order, but the Queen had not been feeling very well and she had been living in the town all this time. So for her sake, he could drop the grudge for the time being.

Soon the King stopped being angry. He was not even bothered to think about the whole thing.

He said to Zhou Huailing. "The princes and ambassadors have all gone home, and the selection of new girls has concluded too. There is no major business to deal with at the moment. So you should stay at the mansion and make the Princess Consort pregnant! Your Princess Consort is the Phoenix Girl and she is very noble, but she is not yet pregnant, and she can always go away with someone else. However, if she is pregnant, then the child will be yours, and everything will be settled. From that time on, you would not be restricted by the Phoenix Girl any more, understand?"

Zhou Huailing nodded constantly. He had been feeling that something was wrong inside his heart these days. Now he understood clearly what was going on.

The most important thing right now was to get Ruxue pregnant, and that made Zhou Huailing extremely nervous.

The King nodded. "You can go home now."

Zhou Huailing hurried off.

The King said, "De Fu."

"Come here, I have got something for you to deal with. Although the Empress Dowager is in charge of what is happening in town, you should tell the Queen about what happened today. She should be informed that her son is not obedient and that she should teach him a lesson when they meet," the King said carefully.

Actually, it was the King who felt that he had run into some setbacks and needed to get some benefits out of that. He was going to show that he was doing the right thing in front of the Queen.

Having spoken to De Fu, the King felt relaxed.

***

At Xinlin Mansion.

Zhou Huaijin rushed directly to Xinlin Mansion after he came out of the court.

He needed to have a discussion and explanation with Chaoyan about the maids. Otherwise some misunderstandings might arise between them.

Gu Chaoyan was in the middle of speaking with Sword One and laughing happily, when she saw Zhou Huaijin coming towards her.
