When the news reached the princess's mansion, Zhao Ying was shocked. Could it be that Shangguan Shu really mentioned it to his father?
She is so brave... She doesn't even dare.
A hint of sadness flashed across Zhao Ying's eyes. The result was that Shangguan Shu was rejected by his father, and his father was very angry.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ying felt mixed emotions. She knew that her father loved her, but no matter how much he loved her, he would not make her the crown prince.
Just like many years ago, her favor was far greater than that of her brother Zhao Cong, but her father still handed over the country to him.
It has nothing to do with anything else, just because he is a man.
Her mother once comforted her and said, don't take it to heart, it's your family that really has the heir to the throne.
The implication is that the Queen Mother also agrees that the throne must be passed on to a man.
At this point, she is no longer a young girl, but a mature woman. She will no longer be angry or resentful, but she will always feel a little lost in her heart.
She thought that even if all the princes died, her father would adopt someone from the royal family and would not consider her.
This is the sorrow of being a woman.
How is she worse than her brothers?
When she was young, her father joked about wanting to make her the crown prince, and she believed it. However, this statement had a premise: if she were the prince...
It was not possible in the past, but now there is Zhao Xi...
Zhao Ying asked someone to bring some wine and started drinking alone under the moon.
Nanny Li, who was serving beside them, saw this and advised with concern, "Your Highness, don't drink any more. You'll have a headache tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ying half-leaned on the stone table, raised his wine glass, and stared at it for a long moment with a dazed look before mumbling, "This Peach Blossom Drunk is delicious. I'm going to send some to my mother; she's sure to love it..."
"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to deliver it to Your Majesty tomorrow..."
"No, it's too late tomorrow. I have to send it there today. If you don't go, I'll go by myself..." As he said that, Zhao Ying stood up, staggering, and it was obvious that he was quite drunk.
Nanny Li quickly helped him up and said, "How can you go when you're drunk like this? Besides, the palace gates are locked. Listen to me, Your Highness, go back and rest first. It won't be too late to send you off tomorrow."
"I'm going!" Zhao Ying held the wine jug and stubbornly walked towards the inner courtyard. Nanny Li said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is the entrance..."
After saying that, she slapped her lips. Why did she remind me of this?
Nanny Li immediately called the maids and asked them to coax the princess back together. However, Zhao Ying was drunk and very strong. He raised his arms and threw the maids to the ground.
Nanny Li almost fell. She stood up straight, gritted her teeth, stretched her arms, and was about to go up and hug Zhao Ying and carry her back to the house when a figure flashed before her eyes.
Looking again, is it Prince Shangguan?
Nanny Li immediately became furious. What did Prince Shangguan think their princess's mansion was? He just climbed over the wall and came in so brazenly. How could he do that?
However, she didn't dare to question him directly.
Shangguan Shu hugged Zhao Ying and glanced at her lightly. Nanny Li then became obedient and bowed properly with the other maids.
"I'll take care of the princess here, you guys go down first!"
Nanny Li glanced at the dazed Zhao Ying, withdrew her expression, but hid not far away and watched from behind. Humph, you divorced scoundrel, don't even think about taking advantage of her princess!
After everyone left, Shangguan Shu looked at the drunken woman in his arms.
She had never been this drunk since he knew her.
Her whole body was limp and smelled of wine, her face was slightly red, she looked delicate and cute, and there were wine stains on her lips, like dew dripping from petals, moist and seductive. Shangguan Shu's eyes gradually dimmed, and the blood in his body gathered together. His Adam's apple rolled and his arms tightened unconsciously.
Zhao Ying vaguely felt that a huge python suddenly flew down from the sky and wrapped her tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe. She wanted to raise her eyes to look, but she couldn't open them.
Zhao Ying angrily cursed, "Where did this giant snake come from? Quickly let me go, or I'll make you into snake soup!"
She was answered with a chuckle.
Huh...the giant snake demon dared to laugh at her!
Zhao Ying gritted her teeth, grabbed the snake's thick tail with both hands, and dug into it hard with her fingertips.
Shangguan Shu hissed in pain. Zhao Ying thought the snake was spitting its tongue at her. She shuddered with fear, then sobbed twice and begged for mercy, "Don't eat me, I'm not tasty..."
Shangguan Shu smiled helplessly, afraid of frightening her, and whispered a reminder, "Ying'er, it's me, your Runlang..."
Runlang?
Zhao Ying barely opened her eyes a crack and saw the handsome man in front of her looking at her with pity. Zhao Ying paused for a moment and said in a complicated tone, "Shangguan Shu, you are not a human being, you are a beast..."
Shangguan Shu: ...
Shangguan Shu picked up Zhao Ying, walked to the stone table, sat down, and held her on his lap, one hand around her slender waist. Zhao Ying leaned lazily on his shoulder, half crying, "Shangguan Shu, if you are a big snake spirit, then the children are not snake spirits too, right?"
Shangguan Shu rubbed his brow with his free hand and laughed.
If you say she is not drunk, she is talking nonsense. If you say she is drunk, there is some logic in her nonsense.
Shangguan Shu said softly, "Open your eyes."
Zhao Ying's long, crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, and just as she was about to spread her wings and fly, she stopped. She frowned and stared at Shangguan Shu with resentment. Shangguan Shu smiled and gestured at her with his hands, "A snake's waist is like this (yes), Yue'er's waist is like this (.). How could Yue'er be a little snake?"
Zhao Ying had a vague feeling that Shangguan Shu was mocking her daughter, but her mind was groggy and she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong. She angrily said, "Even if Yue'er isn't, you are... I knew your mother had such a pointy chin and loved to eat roasted field mice... She really is a big snake!!!"
