Chapter 316 The Third Prince Almost Made a Big Mistake

It was a late spring, early summer day with lots of green trees.

Today is Concubine Zhao’s birthday. She is nearly forty years old this year, and her affluent life makes her look younger than her peers.

Concubine Zhao did not receive much favor, but she was extremely lucky. With the few opportunities she had to serve the emperor in the royal bedchamber, she successfully became pregnant with a dragon fetus, a prince.

She gave birth to the third prince Murong Ji and the sixth prince Murong Luo. She was the only concubine in the palace with two adult princes. She held a high position for many years and always attracted special attention.

Their Zhao family was originally a prominent family. Their ancestor had followed the founding emperor of the Dajing Dynasty to conquer the country and married a princess from the Murong family. They had been officials for generations and their family background was extraordinary.

Her brother, Zhao Shicai, is resolute and serious, and is knowledgeable about government affairs. The emperor has always valued him, and her mother's family is her support.

Therefore, Concubine Zhao did not expect the emperor's favor, nor did she care about the emperor's favor.

She was pampered since she was young and had a very good relationship with her brother. She also loved her nephews and nephews very much.

Because Zhao Liangfeng died inexplicably, she has been in a bad mood since last year.

In her eyes, Zhao Liangfeng was capable and filial to his elders. Although he was a bit indulgent with women, he was a man and it was not a big deal.

She loved Zhao Liangfeng as much as she loved the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince.

Murong Ji noticed his mother's depressed mood, so he wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun and make his mother happy.

He specifically asked for permission from his father, the Emperor, to bring Concubine Zhao to the Third Prince's residence so that they could celebrate his birthday in leisure and to show his filial piety.

The emperor thought of Minister Zhao's contributions, sympathized with his grief over the loss of his son, and was grateful for the third prince's filial piety, so he approved the third prince's request and allowed Minister Zhao and Concubine Zhao, the brother and sister, to have a good reunion.

-

It was a rare good day, and Concubine Zhao didn't want to spoil the fun.

Early in the morning, she dressed up and left the palace.

The Third Prince's Mansion was decorated in a festive manner, surrounded by flowers and trees, and looked full of life.

Every step brings a new scene, and from the smallest details, one can see the intentions of the Third Prince and his wife.

Seeing this, Concubine Zhao was really happy.

Especially after meeting his brother, Minister Zhao.

"Brother, are you doing well recently?"

Even though she was already a grandmother, when she saw her brother, Concubine Zhao still showed a rare tenderness.

Minister Zhao was in a high position and had accumulated great prestige over the years. Normally, people were afraid of him. But at this moment, his expression was very gentle: "Thanks to the queen, everything is fine. Everything is fine at home."

Concubine Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Why are you calling me 'Empress'? I finally got to see my brother, so please don't mention that bullshit 'Empress' anymore. I don't like it."

Minister Zhao looked at her helplessly: "The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince are watching, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by them?"

Concubine Zhao turned her head and looked at the Third Prince and the others. Her expression had already become fierce: "They dare!"

The third and sixth princes hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Sons, we dare not. Mother is very scary."

After saying this, he pretended to tremble, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Princess Zhao felt that all her depressed mood disappeared at this moment.

It seems that she is still very happy as long as she leaves the oppressive palace.

Everyone came to the flower hall and sat down. The Third Prince's wife had decorated the flower hall in a particularly exquisite way. Being in it felt like being among flowers in the wild, natural, fresh, and relaxing.

Princess Zhao chatted with her sister-in-law for a while, and as they talked, they couldn't help but think of Zhao Liangfeng again.

"Ji'er, is there not even a trace of anything about your cousin?"

The smile on the third prince's face paused.

He has a good relationship with Zhao Liangfeng. If he can help him get revenge, wouldn't he want to?

Minister Zhao calmly changed the subject: "There is something I need to discuss with you. The Sixth Prince is over sixteen years old. What do you think of his marriage?"

Speaking of this, the girl in pink and purple clothes who was originally sitting next to Mrs. Zhao blushed, could not sit still, and secretly ran out.

Mrs. Zhao, who had been in a low mood because Concubine Zhao mentioned her son, perked up and looked at Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao was silent for a moment, but still followed Minister Zhao's wishes and discussed the Sixth Prince's marriage.

"Since my brother and sister-in-law want to marry Ning Xi to Luo Er, then of course I have no objection. Besides, these two children have already been in love for a long time. Would I force them to break up the couple?"

Zhao Ningxi is Minister Zhao's youngest daughter, the girl who just ran away.

She was in her prime, and had grown up with the Sixth Prince as childhood sweethearts. This marriage, as a close relationship between the two, was naturally a great thing.

I was worried that the emperor would have concerns, but after what happened to Zhao Liangfeng last year, the emperor was sympathetic and said that Concubine Zhao could arrange the sixth prince's marriage herself.

Murong Luo was overjoyed and stood up and laughed: "Thank you, mother, and thank you, uncle and aunt."

The atmosphere became lively again.

Today was just a family dinner, and there were no outsiders. Zhao Ningxi was very pretty and charming, and standing together with the Sixth Prince, they looked like a perfect match. Concubine Zhao was delighted to see this.

The Third Prince's Mansion was bustling all day.

At dusk, the Third Prince felt a little dizzy after drinking all day, so he left the banquet and went out to drink some more wine.

As he walked, he randomly pushed open a door, found a soft couch, and lay down.

As I felt dizzy, I felt that the room was getting hotter and hotter.

He tugged at his clothes impatiently and touched something warm. When he opened his eyes, he found that a woman was lying next to him.

The woman was lying on her stomach obediently, her face couldn't be seen clearly, but she was emitting the faint fragrance of a virgin, which was very alluring.

He reacted immediately.

Like Zhao Liangfeng, Murong Ji had never been restrained when it came to women. Now that he was drunk and in his own house, he thought it was a concubine or a top maid who came to seek favor.

His mind was wandering, and he wanted to reach out and untie the woman's clothes.

"You dare to climb into my bed, I'll make you suffer later."

She was just a woman, he didn't care who she was. Her body looked curvy and he was interested. He would let off some steam and that would be it.

The rest of the matters will naturally be handled by the Third Prince's wife.

A voice suddenly rang out in the room: "The Third Prince had better take a closer look at who this woman is."

Murong Ji was so frightened that he almost fainted.

He broke out in a cold sweat: "How dare you! Who are you to dare to break into the Third Prince's mansion and act wildly!"

A masked man walked out from the corner of the room, only showing a pair of eyes. He was thin and strong, and it was obvious that he was a martial artist.

He took two steps forward calmly, and Murong Ji could not help but step back again and again: "Stop, if you come any closer, I will call for help."

The man in black really stopped.

He said coldly: "I'll leave after I finish talking."

"This is your cousin Zhao Ningxi. The Third Prince should know what the consequences will be if you touch her."

What!

The third prince was completely exhausted and sober at this moment.

He stretched out his hand and pushed the woman, and her face, which had been unclear before, suddenly appeared.

Oh my god, it’s really Zhao Ningxi!

His younger brother liked Zhao Ningxi very much. If he really slept with Zhao Ningxi without thinking, the consequences would be unimaginable.

My mother will surely be furious, my uncle will probably beat him to death, and my sixth brother will definitely become his enemy!

Who is it that wants to destroy him forever?

The man in black ignored his anger and continued calmly, "You have Madam Zhaohua's spies in your house, and Zhao Ningxi was sent here by Feng Wei, who works for the Crown Prince."
