The nanny said, "I think the one who came back so late must be my son-in-law."
Jiang curled her lips, "I don't know what he's busy with all day. Being a teacher to a young emperor, he's actually busier than the prime minister."
In Yao Jinse's yard.
As soon as Liang Chaozong entered the front yard, the servant hurried to report to Yao Jinse.
As soon as Liang Chaozong stepped into the courtyard, Yao Jinse came to greet him with a smile.
"Husband, you must be exhausted, right? You're back so late."
Liang Chaozong casually handed the cloak to Yao Jinse and stretched lazily. "Being a teacher to the emperor is not that easy."
As he spoke, he strode into the house.
Yao Jinse brought two maids and helped him change his clothes skillfully, and then personally helped him take a bath.
Several times, Yao Jinse wanted to chat with him, but Liang Chaozong seemed to have no interest. He just said a few perfunctory words and went to bed on the pretext of being too sleepy.
Yao Jinse felt depressed and had no desire to sleep. She walked into the bathroom dejectedly, wanting to take a bath and relax.
At this time, the maid was cleaning the bathroom and wanted to take away the clothes that Liang Chaozong had taken off to wash them.
Yao Jinse's eyes fell on the laundry basket and she quickly said, "Wait a minute."
The maid who was carrying the laundry basket out stopped immediately.
Yao Jinse walked up to her, changed her inner clothes, held them in front of her, sniffed them a few times, and her eyes were immediately filled with disappointment.
There was a distinct fragrance on the clothes there.
This fragrance was not hers, nor was it Liang Chaozong's.
She personally came to fumigate the couple's clothes.
She loved roses, so all her clothes were scented with roses.
As for Liang Chaozong, considering that he had to go to the palace and attend court frequently, Yao Jinse only fumigated his clothes with a light sandalwood scent.
But today, the inner clothes that Liang Chaozong took off had a strong scent of lily.
Yao Jinse's brows were tightly furrowed, and a layer of frost appeared on her face.
Liang Chaozong actually found a woman outside!
…
In a flash, another three days passed.
Since the Wanshou Festival that day, the Second Prince and Yue Haoyun have sent people to investigate clues.
The first is to keep a close eye on Liang Chaozong to confirm his affair with Zhu Ling; the second is to investigate the Chi tribe to see what the relationship is between the Chi tribe and the former emperor of Dai Viet.
Early that morning, after Xia Miaoyuan had breakfast, he took advantage of the cool weather and rode Maomao around the house.
When I walked to the front yard, I suddenly heard two servants chatting secretly.
"Have you heard? The emperor got two Qilin beasts for his birthday this time."
"Qilin beast? What does it look like?"
"I heard he's very tall and majestic, taller than a two-story building."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it would be nice if I could go and see it."
"You're still thinking about going and taking a look? You're dreaming. That Qilin beast is kept by the royal family. How can a mere puny person like you and me see it?"
When Xia Miaoyuan heard the word "Qilin beast", his eyes lit up.
[Isn't the Qilin an animal from mythology? How come it really exists?!]
[I really want to see what the ancient Qilin beast looked like! ]
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan turned around and headed towards the second prince's courtyard.
I'll ask my second brother, maybe he'll take me to see it.
Maomao was carrying Xia Miaoyuan and had just stepped into the second prince's yard when he saw Silver Leopard come forward and grab Maomao's reins.
"Young Prince, please wait a moment. The Second Prince has something to do." Silver Leopard said in a low voice.
Xia Miaoyuan looked up and saw that the door of the second prince's bedroom was indeed closed.
After a while, there was a "puff" sound, and a black shadow rushed out from the back window.
Xia Miaoyuan was shocked. [No way! In broad daylight, the secret guards dared to deliver a letter like this?]
Seeing that the secret guard had left, Silver Leopard loosened Maomao's reins.
Xia Miaoyuan slid down from Maomao and walked to the second prince's door, only to hear voices coming from inside.
The Second Prince said, "I didn't expect Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong to be so shameless."
Han Qingbo's voice rang out: "Zhu Ling sat in the position of the Empress Dowager, controlling the little emperor. She got used to the feeling of holding great power. Over time, she became arrogant."
"If they continue to develop, Zhu Ling might even dare to let him pass the test and become a legitimate concubine."
Then, the two of them burst into hearty laughter.
[Oh, it seems the secret guards have confirmed that Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong are indeed having an affair.]
The second prince's laughter stopped abruptly. He heard his sister's voice at the door, so he hurried forward and opened the door.
"You little rascal, why are you eavesdropping?" The second prince picked up Xia Miaoyuan and tapped her on the head.
Xia Miaoyuan argued, "I'm not eavesdropping. I'm listening openly."
The Second Prince and Han Qingbo couldn't help laughing when they saw her serious look.
"Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter." Xia Miaoyuan stretched out his hands and grabbed the second prince's face.
"I heard that the little emperor got a new Qilin beast for his birthday. I want to see what the Qilin beast looks like. Second brother, can you take me to see it?" Xia Miaoyuan's voice was soft.
The Second Prince frowned. "I'm very busy, so I don't have the time to accompany you to see the Qilin beast. Besides, we are here on a diplomatic mission, so it wouldn't be nice to make such a request."
As the brother and sister were talking, they heard footsteps outside.
"Second Prince, Young Prince, Lord Han, the Emperor of Dai Viet is here to deliver his decree!" Jin Hu ran in breathlessly.
Everyone was shocked. Hadn't they already arranged for the Second Prince and his entourage to visit the Imperial College today? Why was they coming again to convey the imperial decree?
Jin Hu said, "The Emperor of Dai Viet has sent someone to pick up Her Royal Highness. He said he has acquired a new Qilin beast and wants to invite Her Royal Highness to see it."
When Xia Miaoyuan heard that they were going to see the Qilin beast, he immediately jumped three feet high with joy.
"That's awesome! Aaaaaah!"
"You won't take me with you, but the little emperor invites me!"
The second prince asked in surprise, "Did you only invite the princess?"
Jin Hu nodded: "Yes."
Han Qingbo understood that the Second Prince was a little worried about Xia Miaoyuan going alone, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Second Prince. In my opinion, the young Emperor of Dayue truly treats the princess as his younger sister. I'm sure his motive for inviting her to see Qilin is very simple."
The second prince thought it made sense, so he let Xia Miaoyuan go with peace of mind.
Nanny Li and Sang Qi hurriedly packed up and got into the carriage with Xia Miaoyuan.
On the other side, inside Sukiyomizu Palace.
Liang Chaozong walked in wearing a veil hat under the guidance of a palace maid. When he entered the room and saw that Zhu Ling was the only one there, he took off the veil hat.
"I don't know why Your Majesty wants me to come here so early this morning." Liang Chaozong bowed respectfully to the empress dowager.
Zhu Ling smiled and pulled Liang Chaozong over, letting him sit next to her.
"Today is a day off and the weather is so nice, so I want you to accompany me for some fun." Zhu Ling's voice was sweet and charming.
