Illegitimate Daughter’s Revenge - C60
Once he thought of a way, Ji Zhen planned to return to the palace to discuss this matter with the Ji Qin s. However, when he arrived at the entrance of the Zhan Palace, he was stopped by the two Xuan brothers.
“I didn’t know that this Second Prince was actually a stuttering person.” Ji Zhen faced him and was not the least bit courteous when she spoke to him.
“You! “Humph!” Xuan Hao was furious, he flung his sleeves and left first.
“I also don’t remember that this second prince has such an interesting character. To think that he would actually use his name to deceive others.” Ji Zhen rolled her eyes at Xuan Yue. She knew that this seemingly harmless Xuan Yue was the one who could hide things the most in his heart, and this kind of person was also the most terrifying, because you never knew what he was thinking.
“So, I can understand that you’re angry?” Xuan Yue was caught unprepared by Xuan Yue’s sudden approach.
Ji Zhen pushed Xuan Yue away fiercely and took two steps back, “Your Highness, please have some self-respect.”
“What if I insist?” Xuan Yue actually gave a devilish smile, and closed the distance between him and Ji Zhen, “I also have my own reasons, otherwise why would I lie to you.”
Only then did Ji Zhen calm down, and she slowly moved closer to Xuan Yue’s ear, blowing lightly. “Since Your Highness is so fond of Zhen Er, Zhen Er will naturally be happy.” Ji Zhen only saw that Xuan Yue’s neck was already red, the tip of his ears were about to bleed.
Just at the moment when Xuan Yue was distracted, Ji Zhen walked over from his side, “Your Highness, next time, you must take care of your manners, don’t lose the dignity of a clan.”
Ji Zhen’s lips curled up into a smile, in the end, she had only just become an adult. Even if it was a prince, so what if she had been fighting in the palace for many years, could he compare to her years of experience?
Xuan Yue vexedly watched Ji Zhen’s leaving figure, but in her heart, she was thinking about where this little girl had learned all these tricks from. At the same time, he was also reflecting on the feeling just now, as if Ji Zhen was carrying a little bit of the elegant orchid fragrance, causing Xuan Yue’s face to turn even redder just thinking about it.
Ji Zhen went back to her residence and told Ji Qin about this matter. Ji Qin then rushed to the Cui Palace.
Speaking of the young master of the Cui Family, Cui Heng, he was one of those people who would not let others despise him, but would always cause trouble.
At the very least, they could spread the leaves and branches of the Cui Family. It was just that the old Grandmother did not expect that when these concubines entered the Cui Family, even if they were to become pregnant, they would still be pushed back by the other concubines trying their best to think of ways.
Furthermore, Cui Family was a noble family, there were not many families that could match up to their family, but these kind of families treated their daughters like treasures, who would dare to marry their daughters into the Cui Family and suffer. Moreover, it wasn’t as if their own daughter couldn’t get married off. Why must so many young talents marry Cui Heng?
But the Old Grandmother really wanted to hug his grandson. After hearing what the Ji Qin said, she immediately made her decision. Although it was because his grandson’s reputation was not good that he was unable to marry his wife, if he could use this matter to improve his reputation, then perhaps his daughter-in-law and grandson wouldn’t be far off.
That very day, the Cui Family called Cui Heng back to his residence and forcefully gave him an order. On the second day, he sent someone to send Cui Heng to the west side of the city.
Originally, he wanted to use this matter to rope in a relationship between the two of them. He didn’t expect that the moment Cui Heng arrived, he looked at Xuan Hao with narrowed eyes, “Speak, what do you want me to do?”
When the Cui Family who sent Cui Heng saw that Cui Heng was talking to the Third Prince, his heart immediately skipped a beat. His young master had a few heads, he actually dared to talk to the Crown Prince in such a manner.
In truth, in his heart, Cui Heng already knew that the battle for the throne had already begun. If he had deliberately leaned towards Xuan Hao, then there would probably be rumors in the capital tomorrow that the Minister of Revenue had already sided with the Third Prince. This was extremely disadvantageous for his father who was far away in the capital.
If only he knew earlier, he would not have let this guy come to the west side of the city. If only he had gone to the east side of the city, he would have caused trouble for his big brother.
In the end, after a while, the official sent to Cui Heng’s side ran over to look for Xuan Hao, “Your Highness, this is bad, you don’t know, when Young Master Cui was filling the porridge, he was only scooping up the rice from the bottom of the pot. In a short while, all the rice had been scooped up, leaving half the pot of rice soup.
He knew that this kind of popinjay wouldn’t do much. It was fortunate that he had suffered this afternoon!
This was because at noon, these relief officials would eat with the victims at the settlement site. This was also the order of the two princes, saying that they would share the suffering with the people, and also letting them know that they didn’t steal anything from the disaster relief funds.
Therefore, after these officials had set up a place for their meals, it was obvious that the level of the food had improved. However, no matter how good the food was, it was just porridge and could not be eaten.
Cui Heng had always been a glutton, but now, after drinking four whole bowls of porridge, he still had not eaten his fill. When he thought about it again, he realized that the porridge was already gone, no matter how much he ate at home, he would still be hungry for an entire day.
