Chapter 269: Encountering Princess Zhaohua
Actually, the Imperial Chancellor could work at his residence; after all, he’s at this level of official.
But isn’t the situation special now? The Emperor is gravely ill, and he himself wants to escape what happened last night, so he came out.
As the chosen candidate for the next Grand Secretary, his workplace is naturally within the Grand Secretariat.
But this Grand Secretariat is within the Imperial Palace, so to see him, one must first find a eunuch within the palace to announce their arrival.
Although most people haven’t seen Lin Wan’e yet, that Red Horse is very famous.
Therefore, when everyone saw a little girl getting out of the carriage, they knew her identity.
Even the Imperial Guards guarding the palace gate couldn’t help but look.
Then they sighed, that Heaven is truly good to this family.
Prime Minister Rong’s face alone captivated countless women. His daughter has perfectly inherited his appearance, and is even more delicate and beautiful. After all, she is a woman, and still a child; her facial contours look soft and cute.
She was plump but not fat, her eyes were big and bright, and she looked full of cleverness. Her skin was snow-white, and she was a soft and chewy little one, looking exactly like a sticky rice ball.
Rong Zhi’s servant went to greet the Imperial Guard: “Little General, please have someone announce my master. The young lady specifically brought some food from home to see him.”
He also slipped him a red envelope.
The Imperial Guard immediately said, “I will go announce it now.”
Lin Wan’e stood at the main gate of the Imperial Palace, looking left and right. She hadn’t had a good look last time she was here.
Wow… this vermilion main gate is so tall, but the South Heaven Gate of the Heavenly Court is even taller and more beautiful.
She even ran up to the Imperial Guard, with her small hands behind her back, tilting her plump and delicate little face to ask them.
“Is your job to stand here all the time? How long do you have to stand, and are you tired?”
“Your armor looks so good, is it heavy?”
“Does anyone switch jobs with you? When will my Daddy come out?”
The little one was like a thousand questions.
Imperial Guard: . . . . . .
The servant hurried, picking her up.
“Ancestor, they, the Imperial Guards, cannot talk to people casually. Let’s not disturb them.”
Lin Wan’e nodded upon hearing this, “Alright then, when will Daddy come back?”
Yu Wuyou poked his head out of the carriage, “Wan’e, hurry up and get in the carriage, it’s dead hot outside.”
There was at least a basin of ice in the carriage.
Lin Wan’e climbed into the carriage herself and put a piece of ice into Little Red’s mouth.
While they were waiting, another carriage arrived.
“Commandery Princess, there’s a carriage ahead.”
“Whose is it? Tell them to move aside.”
A woman’s impatient voice came from inside the carriage.
“It seems to be from Prime Minister Rong’s residence. That Red Horse belongs to Prime Minister Rong’s daughter, doesn’t it?”
As soon as the coachman finished speaking, rustle… the carriage door curtain was lifted.
Princess Zhaohua, dressed in flamboyant scarlet, descended from the carriage in a hurry.
“Rong Zhi’s daughter? Is she here?”
The coachman shrank his neck, not daring to speak, as his Commandery Princess looked like she was there to cause trouble.
“I… I don’t know.”
Princess Zhaohua struck the ground with her horsewhip near his feet: “What use are you? Forget it, I’ll go see for myself.”
The coachman looked dejected, “Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess, please don’t cause trouble.”
Princess Zhaohua didn’t listen at all and walked directly to the carriage in front and shouted.
“You people inside, come out for this Commandery Princess!”
Wolf Fang, along with Snowflake, had been guarding the carriage vigilantly when she arrived.
“Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess, let’s go into the palace quickly. The Empress Dowager is waiting.”
“What are you rushing for? I just want to see what she looks like. Why should that woman give birth to children for him!”
Her words were spoken with a loud voice, without any attempt to conceal them.
“You get out of the way, or call the person inside out. What are you looking at? Do you dare to hit this Commandery Princess?”
Princess Zhaohua held her head high, showing no fear of Wolf Fang.
Lin Wan’e felt this voice was very familiar. As Princess Zhaohua was about to push Wolf Fang away, a fluffy little head poked out.
In an instant, their gazes met.
“It’s you!”
One large and one small said in unison.
Princess Zhaohua naturally remembered this child. Before, at Yun Jian Zui, when that parrot mocked Lin Wan’e, that parrot belonged to that little girl.
“It’s you, pretty sister.”
Lin Wan’e gave Princess Zhaohua a sweet smile, soft and chewy and incredibly cute.
Instantly, Princess Zhaohua forgot all her previous thoughts.
She is so cute, even more good-looking and cute when she smiles, so soft.
The most crucial thing was that she called herself pretty sister!
“You… you are Rong Zhi’s daughter?”
Lin Wan’e nodded.
Princess Zhaohua stared at Lin Wan’e’s delicate little face for a while, truly unable to find any flaws.
This child was clearly grown according to her ideal daughter!
Although she wasn’t married yet.
Princess Zhaohua was a complete face-con, which was why she had pursued Rong Zhi so fervently before.
Now, seeing Lin Wan’e, she suddenly wanted to know what the woman who could give birth to such a beautiful daughter looked like.
“Where is your mother?”
Lin Wan’e replied, “She’s in a very, very faraway place.”
“Is she good-looking?”
Princess Zhaohua asked awkwardly.
Lin Wan’e nodded vigorously, “Good-looking, super good-looking, very beautiful. Everyone says Wan’e looks a lot like her pretty mother.”
Princess Zhaohua stared at Lin Wan’e for several more glances, then had to admit, if that were the case, then… then it seemed not impossible.
She touched her face and stared at Lin Wan’e’s little face, sighing, “What kind of man should I find to have a child as good-looking as you?”
Lin Wan’e: “???”
“The best-looking person in all of Shangjing is Rong Zhi, but he doesn’t like me either. If I have to find someone with a face comparable to Rong Zhi, I won’t be able to find them. Then I won’t be able to have a baby as good-looking as you.”
Lin Wan’e: “…Sister, are you looking for a husband to have good-looking babies?”
“Yes.”
Under Wolf Fang’s watchful gaze, Princess Zhaohua unceremoniously plopped down onto the carriage.
“Having a beautiful baby myself, how good would my mood be every day looking at her. Unfortunately, I pursued Rong Zhi for so long, and he remained steadfast. Not just me, no one in the entire Shangjing could get him to glance twice.”
“But if I can’t have him, I’m happy that Lin Wan’e is also not favored by him. After finally finding someone whose face was somewhat pleasing, she was hooked by that vixen Lin Wan’e. After Lin Wan’e married the Third Prince, she wanted to rekindle the old flame. I chased her for several streets, and I’ll hit him every time I see him in this life.”
Lin Wan’e clapped her hands, “Then Sister, you’re so amazing! Scumbag, he deserves to be beaten!”
Scumbag. Princess Zhaohua felt this word was quite fitting to describe her former fiancé, and therefore, she looked at Lin Wan’e even more favorably.
“That’s right, that’s for scumbags!”
