Chapter 489 I Saw It Wrong

Hearing Xiao Shiyi, Rong Zhao was not only angry but also felt guilty. Xiao Shiyi is the prince's younger brother, and now he is quite favored by the emperor and loved by the prince. Xiao Shiyi turned out to be this woman’s adopted son!

Rong Zhao secretly scolded the second prince more than once, saying that Adou was really indecisive and indecisive in his work. If the Ninth Prince had been directly beaten to death, or Shan Jieyu had been killed, the Second Prince would not have gone to Nanzhong Province to rebel, and he would not have been in this situation...

Rong Zhao didn't want Chen Afu to continue mentioning Little Eleven, so he stopped Chen Afu and said, "Where are my grandsons? If they are here to entertain me, my illness will be cured faster."

The Marquis of Chu spoke, "I didn't let the three little ones come. They were too young and were afraid of getting sick. But Yan'er is here." He then said to Miss Chu, "Yan'er, hurry up and follow the princess." Say hello."

Little Miss Chu at the door bent her knees and blessed the room, and said timidly, "Yan'er wishes your Royal Highness the princess good health."

Only then did Rong Zhao notice the little girl at the door. The little girl was wearing a bright red jacquard brocade gown, a sky-blue skirt, skin as white as jade, watery almond-shaped eyes, and a petal-like mouth. She was extremely beautiful. This appearance gradually overlapped with the face from many years ago.

Rong Zhao stared at the door, his eyes widened, and shouted sternly, "You bitch, why did you come to my house!"

Little Miss Chu was so frightened that she burst into tears and trembled while hugging Nanny Huang.

Chen Afu didn't expect this, so he quickly went out to pick up the little girl and coax her.

Lord Chu stood up and said to Rong Zhao, "Princess, what are you doing? The children don't come to say hello, but you say they are unfilial. The children come to say hello, but you treat them like this. Your Royal Highness, you are really difficult to serve." It wasn't loud, but it was as cold as ice in the dead of winter.

Rong Zhao finally came to his senses and said, "Chu Lang, I was wrong. I thought she was..."

That year, she was only ten years old. On a sunny spring morning, she led two palace maids to fly a kite. The kite was flying high, but suddenly the string broke. She couldn't bear it, so she ran in the direction of the kite. Turning around the outer wall of a palace, she almost collided with a guard in military uniform.

The guard quickly clasped his fists and bowed, "Damn it, young general, for rushing into the princess."

The sound is like a gurgling stream, which is very pleasant.

Rong Zhao was much shorter. Although the guard bowed his head, she could still see his fair and smooth forehead and straight nose. She had an intuition that he must be handsome.

Rong Zhao was not only not angry, but also curious. Said, "Keep your head up."

The guard didn't dare to raise his head, but he clasped his fists and said, "Young general, you don't dare."

Rong Zhao said angrily, "I won't blame you if you raise your head, but I will blame you if you don't. I will also tell my father and mother that you bumped into me."

The guard thought for a moment and then raised his head.

Under the spring sun, this man's jade trees faced the wind, his cold eyes were like stars, and his beauty was unforgettable to her. She stood there silently.

The guard quickly clasped his fists and said, "Young general, I have important matters to do. I'll take my leave." Then he bowed and walked away quickly.

Later, after many inquiries, Rong Zhao found out that the guard was the Prince of Yong'an Hou, a second-class sword-wielding guard in front of the imperial family. He is twenty years old and already married. His wife is a beautiful and gentle daughter of the Luo family, and they have a two-year-old son.

She simply ignored that he had a wife and children, and just wandered around the place where they first met, or places where he might have passed by. However, she never came into close contact with the Prince Chu who had haunted her in her dreams. Once I even saw him from a distance, but in a blink of an eye, he turned a corner and disappeared.

The second time I saw Prince Chu was on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Outside Cining Palace, she not only saw him, but also saw the beautiful woman beside him. Mrs. Chu's skin was as white as jade, she also had a pair of watery almond-shaped eyes, and a small mouth like a peach blossom in March.

Even though Rong Zhao hated this woman to death, he had to admit that she was the most beautiful woman among that group of people.

Rong Zhao could see clearly that the way Prince Chu looked at Mrs. Chu was not only not cold, but also as deep and affectionate as autumn water, breathtaking.

Rong Zhao's heart palpitated. She finally waited until she kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and when the palace banquet was over, she ran to Ma Shuniang and said, "Concubine, my daughter likes the Prince of Chu. When she grows up, she will make him her consort."

Concubine Ma Shu was startled and said, "That's silly. The Prince of Chu is much older than you. He already has a wife and children. How can he be your consort?"

Rong Zhao said stubbornly, "I don't care if he is ten years older than me. It doesn't matter if he has a wife and children. Just give his wife and children to death. I am a princess, the eldest daughter whom the emperor loves most. I said What, he should obey as a minister."

Concubine Ma Shu frowned and said, "Chu Shizi is not good, he is quite valued by your father..."

Seeing her daughter's stubbornness, Ma Shufei scolded her again with a low face, and even slapped the nuns and maids who were serving her closely.

Rong Zhao felt that her father loved her, so she told the emperor about it again. The emperor was even more rude and reprimanded her severely for the first time. He also told her clearly that she was not allowed to have any ideas about Chu Guangche. The emperor was still angry and severely reprimanded Concubine Ma Shu for her incompetence in educating her daughter. He did not go to Concubine Ma's palace for half a year.

When Rong Zhao was fifteen years old, the emperor couldn't wait to appoint Mr. Xue as her consort. He also said that Mr. Xue was talented, handsome, gentle and elegant.

Rong Zhao was forced to marry Prince Consort Xue, but he was extremely reluctant. In her opinion, Prince Consort Xue's versatility was nothing but gossip, his gentleness was nothing but a coward, and he couldn't compare to Prince Chu in anything.

After marrying Prince Consort Xue, she started to torment him and his family. The emperor and the queen mother reprimanded her many times. After she behaved herself for a while, she started to torment him again. Five years later, she finally succeeded in angering Prince Consort Xue to death.

But by then, Chu Guangche had already inherited the title of Marquis of Yong'an, and was also promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guards, making him the emperor's most beloved close minister.

The next year, Queen Wang suddenly became friendly with Consort Ma Shu and Rong Zhao, saying that she liked Rong Zhao's cheerful personality very much. She also said that the second prince also loved this sister very much and couldn't bear her to be a widow at such a young age. Then Chu Guangche was still a minister no matter how favored he was, and if the emperor ordered him to die, he had to die. He would find a way to force Chu Guangche to marry her.

Rong Zhao and Consort Ma Shu knew that Queen Wang and the second prince did this in order to pull Consort Ma Shu and the Ma family to the second prince's camp. Concubine Ma Shu and Rong Zhao discussed it. They and the Ma family had always favored the second prince. Not only did the second prince come from the imperial harem, but the Wang family was more powerful. They felt that the third prince, Concubine Sun and the Sun family, who were competing with the second prince for the throne, were overestimating themselves.

Besides, the conditions offered by Queen Wang and the second prince were too tempting.

So, the drama of her and Chu Guangche being "caught cheating" many years ago appeared.

But it turned out that she, her mother, Queen Wang, the second prince, and everyone else were deceived by the emperor and the Chu family...
