Chapter 87 - 87: The Crown Prince Is Going All Out
“Don’t worry, Your Highness! I will not disappoint you.”
The crown prince clapped his hands, and Shuang ‘er walked in with Purple Cat in her arms. She took Purple Cat from her arms and stroked it twice. Facing the crown prince, Purple Cat was very obedient and did not dare to be rash. “This is the descendant of the phoenix. I originally planned to nurture it myself, but my energy doesn’t allow it, and there are too many government affairs to deal with. I’ll give it to you and take good care of it.”
Purple Cat’s fur instantly stood on end, and her nerves were highly tensed. It was as if she had heard the most terrifying words in the world. She turned her head and acted cute. “Meow!”
It was as if she was saying,’l don’t want to leave you.’
The Crown Prince’s face tensed up and he reprimanded, ” From now on, Qinglin will be your master!”
He handed it over.
Zhang Ronghua’s heart was heavy. Today’s news was too big. Whether it was about to be transferred to the Scholar’s Pavilion or the gift of the purple cat, it had a special meaning. He understood!
If he had a chance to get off the ship before, now that even the door had been sealed shut, there was really no chance at all. No matter how high his future achievements were, what position he was in, even if he climbed to the position of one of the three dukes, the result would still be the same. He would always be the Crown Prince’s man.
He solemnly took the purple cat. There was no need to say too much between smart people, let alone say anything sensational.
“You may leave!” the Crown Prince said. After meeting Chen Youcai, accompany me to the Grand Tutor Manor.”
He left the Xuanhe Hall.
Zhang Ronghua stopped at the man-made lake and stroked the cat. The purple cat accepted its fate. It knew that resistance could not change its fate. It did not dare to act rashly and was as obedient as it could be.
Did the Crown Prince know about Su Qiutang meeting him yesterday?
He was the only one who knew what had happened.
Otherwise, why would he want to focus on nurturing him? He was even transferred to the Scholar Hall to be gilded. The price he had to pay must have been very high. After all, he was a general and not a scholar. It was not too much to say that he had reached the heavens in one step.
Thinking back to the night when Ma Ping ‘an and the others were attacked, it was not strange that the Crown Prince had sent people to hide in the dark to protect his family and then sent people to spy on him.
He understood everything.
Zhang Ronghua looked at Purple Cat and noticed his gaze. Purple Cat also looked over and stuck out its tongue,””Meow
Bang!
He knocked a chestnut on its head and asked,””Are you afraid of me?”
The purple cat shook its head vigorously.
He looked at the man-made lake.
It had eaten all the ornamental fish last time, so Shuang ‘er bought another batch and swam happily in the water.
He put it down.
The purple cat glanced at the school of fish in the water and then at him. Its cat eyes turned around. It was very smart. Seeing that Zhang Ronghua did not speak and had a straight face, it knew what to do.
With a leap, he jumped in.
Ma Ping ‘an happened to come over and saw this scene. He said exaggeratedly, “The purple cat is too bold, isn’t it? He even dared to eat the ornamental fish raised by His Highness!”
“It’s natural!”
A few breaths later.
Half of the ornamental fish in the lake had been eaten by it. Seeing that Zhang Ronghua did not stop it, it dived back into the water and continued eating! “When will your inn open? I’ll step on the threshold then.”
“In these two days! When everything was done and the staff was in place, they should be able to open for business.” “Alright! Remember to inform me.”
He turned around and left.
After finishing the fish, Purple Cat also rushed out of the lake. She circulated her cultivation to evaporate the water droplets on her body. Just as she was about to jump over, Zhang Ronghua grabbed the back of her head and lifted her up.
“Wait for me here. Don’t run! I’ll take you home tonight.”
“Meow!”
He put it down and inspected the Eastern Palace.
His footsteps became heavier and he deliberately made some noise. When the Flood Dragon Guards and Crown Prince’s personal guards saw that their lord had come, they put on their full attention and looked forward with a dignified gaze as they scanned the surroundings.
Zhang Ronghua was very satisfied. He walked around and stopped at the main entrance when it was noon.
A horse carriage drove over.
The guard opened the curtain and Chen Youcai got out of the car.
“Green Kirin!”
“Ping Bo!”
After exchanging pleasantries, she brought him to Xuanhe Hall.
He went in to report and then let him in. In less than 15 minutes, Chen Youcai left with a smile on his face. It seemed that the matter was successful.
After sending him out of the Eastern Palace, Chen Youcai received the news from somewhere. He repeatedly reminded him that when his inn opened, he must inform him to step on the threshold.
Zhang Ronghua agreed with a smile.
The Crown Prince’s carriage was already prepared. Eight divine heavenly dragons pulled the carriage, and he led two battalions of Flood Dragon Guards to escort it to the Grand Tutor’s Residence.
He felt strange.
What was he doing there at this time? Nothing major happened during this period of time.
He was puzzled.
He stopped at the door of the Grand Tutor. He knew that the Crown Prince was coming. The floor had just been cleaned and some clean water was sprinkled on it. There was a red carpet at the door sill. Uncle Zhong had been waiting for a long time.
The carriage stopped.
A Flood Dragon Guard carried a small stool and placed it on the carriage. The carriage’s curtain was opened, and the Crown Prince came down with Qing ‘er.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” Uncle Zhong stepped forward and cupped his fists. ”
The Crown Prince helped him up and smiled.”
“Miss has been waiting inside for a long time. Please!”
The Crown Prince nodded and walked on the red carpet. Zhang Ronghua ordered the Flood Dragon Guards to wait outside and followed them in.
Ji Xueyan sat in the pavilion, playing chess alone. Her crescent moon face was wrinkled, almost turning into a bitter gourd. She thought for a long time, but she still couldn’t see how the black pieces could break out of the encirclement of the white pieces.
Footsteps sounded.
As expected, Zhang Ronghua was there as well. She had mixed feelings. After the incident in the Eastern Palace, she didn’t want to have any interactions with him. However, God played a joke on her. He was guiding the old man’s manuscript at Jingxin Lake, so that she could improve her Righteousness and be able to suppress Xu Xirou.
The reason why she went to see him that night and even gave him a spiritual item was that she didn’t like to owe favors to others. Secondly, she couldn’t explain it herself. She wanted Zhang Ronghua’s cultivation to improve faster.
Perhaps there was a huge secret hidden in the depths of her heart. As long as he was strong enough, he could stand against the Grand Xia Empire alone and withstand all the pressure. Then, she would be able to be together with him.
A two-way love was far more than a one- sided love.
Yesterday.
The crown prince had asked Shuang ‘er to send a message. He had come as a guest today to cultivate their relationship and to cheer her on. After knowing about it, her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and it hurt very badly.
He thought about a lot of things in a moment, but he didn’t show it on his face. Even if he did reveal some thoughts, they would be covered by a veil and couldn’t be seen from the outside.
He stood up from the stone bench and bowed.”Greetings, Your Highness!”
“There’s no need to be so polite.’”‘
Looking at the chessboard, Hei Zi fell into a dilemma. He thought for a while, but he still could not break through with his chess skills.
He turned around and looked at Zhang Ronghua.”
Zhang Ronghua really wanted to kick him. He had already turned invisible, yet he still called himself. He looked at the chessboard. If Hei Zi wanted to break the game, he could only break his arms and survive. Only then would he have a chance of survival. He did not say too much,”We can try!”
He walked over, took a black piece, and placed it on the chessboard. He cut off the black piece’s hind leg and went into battle to exchange for the next move.
Ji Xueyan’s brows furrowed, and her deep and beautiful eyes turned. She looked at the chessboard and lightly placed a piece, but it gave Hei Zi a chance to catch his breath. She glanced at him without leaving a trace and made a gesture to invite him to sit down.
After a few moves.
Uncle Zhong came with an old eunuch. Zhang Ronghua also knew him. He had met him once in the Eastern Palace. He was Xiao Mils grandfather, Eunuch
Xiao.
After the greeting.
“His Majesty has sent a verbal order for you to enter the palace now.”” “Did Imperial Father say what it was about?” the Crown Prince asked.”
“This old servant does not know!”
He looked at Ji Xueyan.
” Xu Rou is not bad,” the prince said.” But compared to you, she’s too far off. I’ll wait for your good news. ‘”‘
“Sorry to trouble you, Your Highness!”
“We’ll leave after the game,” the Crown Prince said.”
The Green Girl also left, leaving only the three of them.
“I’ll go get some fruits,” Yue Ya suddenly said..”
