Chapter 365 Let’s work hard
Prince Kang beat his chest and stamped his feet in the imperial study, but to no avail. Emperor Fu said that he would send reinforcements, but who knew when they would come? By the time the reinforcements arrived, would his son be able to come back alive?
When he returned to the palace, he looked at the princess whose eyes were swollen from crying, and his heart ached.
“That brat, when he comes back, I will break his legs before he dares to sneak out.” King Kang cursed angrily.
He raised his hand and patted Princess Kang on the back, saying heavily, "I don't know when the brat will come back, Princess, why don't we try harder and see if we can have a second child."
Princess Kang stopped wiping her tears. She wondered if she had cried for too long and had tinnitus in her ears.
I couldn't understand what Prince Kang was saying.
"Your Majesty, what did you just say?" she asked.
"Let's try hard and have a second child, just in case..."
Princess Kang screamed and picked up a feather duster. "What did you say? What did you say? Are you cursing my son so that he won't come back? Are you?"
"No, that's not what I meant." King Kang cried out in pain after being beaten.
There was a commotion in the room, and the sound of porcelain breaking. The maid outside was trembling with fear and could only pretend that she heard nothing.
"You have no conscience. When my son comes back, I will tell him that you actually abandoned him like this." Princess Kang burst into tears.
"Princess, I didn't." Prince Kang ignored the pain in his back and squatted in front of Princess Kang. "I was afraid that you would be too sad, so I found something to do."
"Just shut up." Princess Kang was so mad at her husband that she almost died.
Prince Kang sighed and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will take the guards from the palace to Jingkou tomorrow, maybe I can help."
"Your Majesty is unwilling to send troops?" asked Princess Kang.
"Ah." King Kang sighed.
Princess Kang cursed angrily, "That's his son too. He wants to fight the queen and the Ruan family, and he totally disregards the safety of his own son. How can there be such a father in the world?"
"He just... wants to compete with the Queen." Prince Kang knew Emperor Fu in the palace and sighed helplessly.
"You can't compete with the lives of other people's children." Princess Kang cried.
"Do you really think that others can't see it? He asked the Prince of Chen to lead the people from the Pacification Bureau to suppress the bandits, just to send the Prince of Chen to his death. How the Prince of Chen was sent out of the palace in the first place, he, as a father, would not be unaware."
"How can he face the ancestors of the Fu family after his death... um..." King Kang hurriedly covered her mouth.
Princess Kang sobbed and cried even more sadly.
She hated the emperor.
He was the eldest son of the legitimate wife and was born to be the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty. However, because of the emperor's favoritism, he was exiled to a foreign country. It was lucky that he could come back alive.
The emperor did not want to compensate his son, but actually tried every means to suppress him and send him to death.
How disgusting!
Chill!
If her son could come back alive, she would definitely support him in working hard and building a career with Prince Chen.
But...I hope her son can come back alive.
"Go prepare the carriage, I'm going to Prince Chen's Palace." Princess Kang said.
Prince Kang was stunned. "Why are you going to Prince Chen's Mansion at this time? Princess, calm down. You must not provoke Princess Chen. She can't stand any trouble now. If something happens, the Queen will definitely be angry."
"Shut up." Princess Kang roared.
"..."
On this day, many mansions in the royal capital were shrouded in gloomy clouds, and they were almost going to hold a funeral for their son who had gone to Jingkou.
Although my son is a playboy, he is still my own flesh and blood.
Although Shen Sui'an did not go out, he heard that Prince Kang and Duke Dingguo had come to the palace with other family heads to plead for mercy.
"Really... you don't have any confidence in our prince at all." Shen Suian sighed softly.
"Sister-in-law, do you have confidence in our cousin Prince Chen?" Ruan Zhaoxia asked in a low voice.
Ruan Zhaoxia brought her younger brother Ruan Zhaoxi to Prince Chen's Mansion. It was Old Madam Ruan who sent them over to entertain and amuse Shen Suian.
"Is grandma worried that I would have too many thoughts, so she asked you two siblings to come and talk to me?" Shen Sui'an asked with a smile.
"Oh, grandma thought that since you have just arrived in the royal capital, if you go out to play, there will be no one to take you with you, to eat with you, and to play with you, so I volunteered to come." Ruan Zhaoxia said with a smile.
Ruan Zhaoxi: "Ajie's fiancé is coming to visit us tomorrow, and she doesn't want to see him, so..."
"You're the only one with a big mouth, aren't you?" Ruan Zhaoxia glared at her brother fiercely.
Shen Sui'an said, "Is Sister Xia engaged? Who is she engaged to?"
Ruan Zhaoxia didn't look shy, but rather a little bored. "It's from the Shao family."
"Go and see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. Don't stand here and get in the way." Ruan Zhaoxia sent her brother away.
Shen Suian smiled and asked Fuqiu to follow Ruan Zhaoxi to the Chuihua Gate to welcome Fu Jinyi.
"The Shao family from Donglin? That must be the eldest young master Shao." The Shao family has only two legitimate young masters, and only the eldest son is the same age as Ruan Zhaoxia.
"Don't you like him?" Shen Suian asked in a low voice when he saw Ruan Zhaoxia looked depressed.
Ruan Zhaoxia pursed her lips and said, "I don't like his sister and his cousin."
"Shao Baozhu likes her cousin and always thinks that I stole her brother. She often opposes me. Every time, my mother asks me to give in to her and give her the bracelets and hairpins I like."
"When I was young, I could just bear with it, but now..."
"Don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable." Shen Sui'an patted the back of her hand, "You are a girl from the Ruan family, no one can let you suffer any injustice."
"The Queen Mother told me the same thing." Ruan Zhaoxia felt warm in her heart.
"But the two families have a marriage, and it was arranged by my grandfather. If I cancel the marriage because of my disagreement with Shao Baozhu, my grandfather and grandmother will not agree."
Shen Sui'an asked softly, "Do you like Shao Guanming?"
"Not bad." Without Shao Baozhu and his cousin Zheng Ruyan, she felt that Shao Guanming would be a good candidate for husband.
She is good-looking, well-educated and has a bright future.
But thinking about having to get along with his shrewd and mean sister, and dealing with Zheng Ruyan who might become his concubine, she had no hope of marrying into the Shao family.
As the wedding date drew closer, she became more and more resistant.
Shen Sui'an said, "Then there's no need to rush to get married."
Ruan Zhaoxia smiled bitterly, "The Shao family came here this time to set a wedding date."
There was no way out for her.
"Xia Jie'er, if you really don't like it, you can tell the Queen." Shen Sui'an felt that the Queen would not let her niece repeat her path. If she married someone she didn't like, she would never be happy in her life.
Ruan Zhaoxia shook her head. "Forget it. Everyone has gone through this, so why should I be an exception?"
