NOVEL NEXT What is Prince Beiding, who is the center of attention, thinking about at the moment?
In fact he has nothing on his mind, and even wants to sleep.
Though others don’t understand what has happened today, he knows everything behind it.
Right now he feels an indistinct gaze measuring him up. Prince Beiding sneers and doesn’t care about it at all.
Those who are waiting to see Prince Beiding’s Manor’s bad luck will probably disappoint themselves.
It has taken forever before court is adjourned.
As soon as Prince Beiding arrives at his manor, without even having the time to change, a report from a guard comes: “The crown prince is here.”
Prince Beiding: “…”
How come the crown prince comes so fast?
In fact, Prince Beiding doesn’t want to see him but he has no choice since the crown prince isn’t who he was before any longer.
Prince Beiding has no choice but to say in a gloomy mood: “Invite the crown prince to my study.”
He isn’t in the mood to change any more and goes to the study directly.
Today, Zhao Yin wears a purple robe with wide sleeves, a jade belt and a jade hat binding his hair. It looks to Prince Beiding that Zhao Yin looks quite handsome.
Well, this young man has probably won his good girl over by this face.
All in all, he isn’t pleasing to Prince Beiding’s eyes.
“Father-in-law.” Zhao Yin is very respectful when he sees Prince Beiding.
“Em.” Prince Beiding answers indifferently.
“Your Highness, your presence flatters me and brings light to my humble dwelling.” Prince Beiding speaks without thinking.
Zhao Yin’s lips twitches. He thinks to himself that it will be better if Prince Beiding has hidden his disdain for him.
But the man before him firstly dares to criticize his father; secondly he is his Zhao Zhao’s father.
Zhao Yin can’t afford to enrage him.
So he decides to come straight to the point: “I’m here to see Zhao Zhao.”
Zhao Zhao?
Who allows you to call her Zhao Zhao!
Prince Beiding glowers at him with fierce eyes: “Your Highness, since you are the heir to the throne, every word and every deed of yours are models for the world. Please speak and act more cautiously.”
Zhao Yin: “…”
He holds back his impulse to refute.
Well, if Prince Beiding hates to hear that from him, he could say that only when he’s with Ah Zhao.
He takes a deep breath: “You are right, father-in-law. I’m here to see the princess.”
Prince Beiding doesn’t miss any bit of Zhao Yin’s reaction.
He is indeed a simple and rude man, but not a fool.
The crown prince doesn’t put up with him for this long because he doesn’t want to embarrass him.
The reason is his daughter.
It seems that though this young man couldn’t meet his requirement at many aspects, he does care about Zhao Zhao.
Prince Beiding sneers unwillingly: “Zhao Zhao is in the back garden.”
It’s his approval to Zhao Yin that he can now go and find Ah Zhao.
Zhao Yin relaxes a little bit, turns around and leaves at once.
Prince Beiding scorns at Zhao Yin’s hurriedly receding figure but doesn’t say anything further.
Ah Zhao meanwhile is playing on a swing.
Since she’s in the manor, she hasn’t put much makeup on, with her long hair coiled up. Zheng-er has picked a flower and put it on her hair.
“Zheng-er, higher!”
She giggles, trying to get the swing flying higher, enjoying the feeling of wind sweeping by her hair ends.
She feels a little tired after playing for a good while.
“Well, let me have a rest.”
The hand behind her grabs the swing and she comes down slowly.
“Zheng-er, I want some tea.” Ah Zhao is a little thirsty.
However, there is no answer from Zheng-er.
“Zheng-er?” Ah Zhao turns around confused and falls into a tight hug.
“Zhao Zhao wants tea and I’m thirsty as well. How are we going to do about that?”
Ah Zhao raises her head happily: “Zhao Yin, here you are!”
However, she sees that man pours himself a cup of tea and drinks it up.
She curls her lips: “I’m thirsty as well.”
A pair of burning lips are on hers when she has hardly finished her sentence.
Zhao Yin appears to be all serious: “Let me pass you the tea, princess.”
