Chapter 270: Get Out
While chatting, Princess Zhaohua’s gaze suddenly fell on Lang Ya.
“Hey, how old are you?”
She said excitedly, “Uncle Emperor has a little prince and a little princess in his harem born to an exotic princess, they are so good-looking. If I also had a child with an exotic man, would the child be as good-looking?”
Lang Ya pursed his lips and walked a bit further away.
Ke Ke Ga Ga laughed, “Lang Ya is still a young man under fifteen. Do you want to be an old cow eating tender grass?”
Actually, Princess Zhaohua wasn’t much older, nineteen.
In an era where engagements began at fifteen, her age seemed a bit old.
But she was a Commandery Princess, unlike that fake Commandery Princess at the border. Princess Zhaohua’s mother was the Emperor’s full sister and was very favored.
So, even at nineteen, there were quite a few people lining up to marry her.
Of course, Princess Zhaohua was being picky. Because she was obsessed with Rong Zhi’s face, her standards were exceptionally high, and she found others rather unappealing.
Moreover, she was determined to have a good-looking child and was a total face-con herself, placing extreme importance on a man’s appearance. Therefore, her choices became even more limited, leading to her current situation.
“I am Princess Zhaohua. You, a guard, don’t even fancy me?”
“Hmph, I don’t fancy a little brat like you either.”
“Lord Rong has arrived.”
Qin Wanwan and Princess Zhaohua’s eyes immediately turned towards the palace gate.
The man in the crimson official robe was so pleasing to the eye in every action, like an immortal descended from a painting.
Princess Zhaohua’s eyes sparkled.
“How can there be such a perfect man?”
Unfortunately, he wasn’t hers.
“Daddy~”
Qin Wanwan ran over, and Rong Zhi bent down, gently picking her up.
The smile on his lips was truly captivating, as if it could last for eternity.
“So he can smile this beautifully.”
In Princess Zhaohua’s impression, Rong Zhi often smiled, but that smile, how to put it, was very different from this one.
This smile felt like peach blossoms blooming, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
How she envied Qin Wanwan.
“Daddy, Princess Zhaohua.”
Rong Zhi nodded faintly at Princess Zhaohua, “Greetings, Princess Zhaohua.”
“Hehehe… Greetings.”
After her foolish smile, she quickly composed her expression. In front of someone she liked, girls always wanted to appear gentle and ladylike.
A foolish smile was too unladylike.
Unfortunately, Rong Zhi didn’t spare any extra glances her way afterward.
Princess Zhaohua wasn’t disappointed. She just wanted to look at that face more; it was pleasing to the eye.
Looking at Wanwan was also pleasing to the eye, a soft and mellow little beauty.
“Daddy Yu, take out the lunchbox.”
Qin Wanwan called out towards the carriage.
Princess Zhaohua didn’t react. What did that little one just call?
The carriage door curtain was lifted by a handsome hand, and Princess Zhaohua watched as a god-like face, as stunning as Rong Zhi’s top-tier looks, walked out of the carriage.
“Here.”
Qin Wanwan looked at him suspiciously, “You didn’t sneak any food, did you?”
Yu Wuyou retorted indignantly, “This big lunchbox, if I don’t eat some, how can he possibly finish it!”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t eat the dishes, I only took a few pastries.”
Rong Zhi had germophobia. If Yu Wuyou really ate his food, he’d rather go without.
A few pastries were fine.
Little Qin Wanwan was disappointed, “Daddy Yu, why are you so greedy? You ate so much at home before coming.”
Yu Wuyou chuckled, “Hehe… I didn’t eat much when I was little.”
He grew up in the deep mountains, where resources were scarce, and the food was very monotonous.
He ate the most dishes made from various poisonous insects, such as spiders, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and so on…
After leaving the deep mountains, he realized there were so many delicacies in the world and then became uncontrollably fond of them.
And he had a huge appetite because he not only had to feed himself but also had many insects on his person.
“Two, two…”
The woman beside her suddenly got a nosebleed.
Everyone looked towards Princess Zhaohua.
Princess Zhaohua’s maid: … …
Save me, the princess is really losing face like this!
“Sister, what’s wrong?”
Qin Wanwan looked at her curiously.
Princess Zhaohua waved her hand, “Nothing, I’ve been a bit inflamed lately, that’s why I have a nosebleed.”
“Uh, I’ll be going now. You guys chat slowly.”
Holding her nose, she quickly followed her maid into the palace, as staying longer would only be more embarrassing.
However, as she left, she kept looking back, her gaze almost glued to Rong Zhi and Yu Wuyou.
So, there really were people in this world who could rival Rong Zhi’s looks!
Rong Zhi tossed the lunchbox to a nearby little eunuch and got into the carriage to discuss important matters.
“I’ve made some arrangements at the Imperial Hospital. Tomorrow, you will enter as a newly appointed Imperial Physician and then follow the Head of the Imperial Hospital to see His Majesty.”
Yu Wuyou said, “You got me an identity so quickly? It’s really effective.”
Rong Zhi replied, “Then I’ll be going back. You two should return early too.”
Rong Zhi was somewhat relieved that they hadn’t mentioned last night’s events, or it would have been awkward.
“Daddy, go home early. Wanwan will wait for you at home.”
Rong Zhi nodded, the corners of his mouth turning up in a smile.
“Okay.”
Watching the carriage leave, Rong Zhi then turned back to the Imperial Palace.
Unexpectedly, he ran into the First Prince.
“I really didn’t expect Chancellor Rong to care so much about his daughter.”
Rong Zhi stopped, “Thank you for your concern, First Prince.”
The First Prince sneered, “I wonder if Lord Rong would be heartbroken if something happened to your daughter.”
At that moment, a chilling aura emanated from Rong Zhi, and the smile he had been wearing all along vanished.
“Is the First Prince warning me?”
At this moment, Rong Zhi even changed his self-reference from ‘this minister’ to ‘I’.
A sinister smile appeared on the First Prince’s face, “A warning, or rather, a reminder to Chancellor Rong. Indeed, how could you not be heartbroken? After all, at such an old age, having only one daughter, you must treasure her dearly.”
“But people can have accidents, can’t they, Chancellor Rong?”
After issuing his provocation, the First Prince snorted coldly and left.
Rong Zhi stood still. The little eunuch accompanying him wished he could bury himself in the ground.
The Chancellor Rong at this moment was truly terrifying.
“Heh…”
Rong Zhi let out a light laugh and continued walking forward.
This scene was witnessed by Ke Ke, who hadn’t left yet.
It had already noticed that sneaky, lewd-looking First Prince spying from a distance. How dare he have designs on its cub! Hmph!
Ke Ke flew back to the carriage. Qin Wanwan hugged it and asked where it had been.
Ke Ke didn’t tell her about the First Prince. Dealing with the First Prince was not something for the cub.
It casually said it went to see some excitement, and Qin Wanwan didn’t suspect anything.
However, when Rong Zhi returned from work, Ke Ke sneakily went to find him.
Rong Zhi was taking a bath when he suddenly saw a certain suspicious-looking parrot fly in.
Rong Zhi: ??
“Get out!!!”
“Caw!”
Ke Ke was directly thrown out with a flick, losing several feathers.
