Chapter 6 The Little Fool Invites the Prince Home
"I know, I know. I've made note of it. I'll go down and make a new table right away."
The cook breathed a sigh of relief, as he had thought his life was in danger. It turned out that the princess did not like the food.
It seems that the prince does not hate the princess as much as the rumors say. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it.
Prince Ning, who is so powerful, would be so accommodating to a stupid male concubine.
"Okay. Go down." Zhao Fangye put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Song Huaixi who was sitting opposite him: "If you have any needs, just ask. Prince Ning's Mansion will satisfy you."
After he finished speaking, the adjutant beside him whispered something into his ear, and then he stood up and left.
Song Huaixi looked at his departing back and suddenly she was no longer angry.
"Mammy, you can ask him anything. I want to have a puppy, is that ok?"
Turning his head, he blinked his round eyes and looked at the nanny, his eyes full of desire.
Hearing his disrespectful remarks, Nanny Zhang scolded, "Princess!"
Nanny Zhang looked a little serious and said in a stern tone, "You should call him Prince, not be so casual."
"oh."
Song Huaixi was frightened by her expression and nodded.
But deep down he disagreed, he thought it was better to call her by her name. The prince was cold and he didn't like it.
"Also, don't act recklessly in the palace from now on, and don't make requests casually, okay?"
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor's arrangement of marriage for Zhao Fangye was intended to annoy him. The Song family was not a noble family and had no status in the court.
Prince Ning was not only the eldest son of the emperor born in the empress's widowhood, but also the grandson of the prime minister. He also held military power in his fiefdom in the northwest.
His uncle is one of the richest businessmen in Beijing, with businesses all over the place.
How could Prince Ning, who was so distinguished, wealthy and powerful, be willing to be married to a foolish man?
They were already very content to be able to live a quiet life in the palace, and they would be thankful if Song Huaixi could be favored.
How dare I get close to him and provoke his disgust?
"Why?" Song Huaixi was very puzzled, Zhao Fangye had already said it was okay.
"Oh, my little ancestor, just do as I say. Mammy won't hurt you."
In the study, a man in a black cloak was sitting in a chair drinking tea.
Zhao Fangye walked in and saw the man in black, but he didn't care: "Why is Grandpa here? Can I have lunch?"
The prime minister took off his hood and stared at him with a pair of shrewd eyes: "Since you don't want to come to see me, then I have to come to see you."
"Tell me what's going on?"
Zhao Fangye sat on a carved wooden chair with an indifferent expression. He reached out and picked up the Ru kiln teacup on the table.
The best Baihao Silver Needle tea exudes a subtle and refreshing fragrance in the teacup.
"How is it? Did the emperor ask you to hand over your military power today?" The prime minister walked over to him, sat down and took a sip of tea.
"good."
"The emperor is so anxious to recall you from the northwest because he is afraid of the military power in your hands. Sooner or later, he will take action against you."
The prime minister looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes: "Ye'er, there is no one in the court who can compete with you now. The prince is a fool who spends his days in debauchery. What great cause can he achieve?"
"Listen to Grandpa, would you like to sit in that seat?"
Zhao Fangye put down the teacup, and a cold look appeared in his light-colored eyes.
"Grandpa wasn't satisfied with pushing his daughter into the fire pit, and now he wants to sacrifice your only grandson?"
When the prime minister heard him mention his daughter, he immediately showed anger on his face: "Don't mention her to me. As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she does not consolidate the family's glory, but indulges in love affairs all day long."
"I have worked so hard to help her get to the top, am I asking her to become a nun in the Taoist temple in the palace?"
"Heh." Zhao Fangye only felt it was ironic, and a layer of ice seemed to have formed on his handsome face.
He stood up and left, leaving behind only his tall back, unwilling to say anything more to him.
He would never set foot in a dirty place like the palace.
The prime minister was so angry when he saw his stubborn attitude. She covered her chest and pointed at his leaving back.
"Without the Wang family, how could you have achieved your current glory? You all have grown wings, right? You really want to piss me off to death!"
Zhao Fangye paused on his way out the door, and said without a trace of warmth in his tone: "If I could choose, I would rather not have this honor."
After saying that, he turned and left.
In the evening, when Zhao Fangye arrived, Song Huaixi was curled up on the couch by the window reading a picture book.
He was the only one in the room and it was very quiet.
He was wrapped in a thick fox fur coat and there was a heating system in the room. The heat made his face red.
Song Huaixi held the picture book in both hands and lay sideways on the couch.
His hair was not tied up, and he complained of a headache as soon as he came back, so the nanny had to take a white jade hairpin to tie it up for him.
A pair of big black eyes stared at the pages of the book intently, without blinking. Because she was so absorbed in watching, her pink lips were slightly open.
Zhao Fangye didn't disturb him, but stopped and watched him for a while from a distance.
To be fair, Song Huaixi is still quite good-looking. I don’t know if it’s because of his upbringing in the Song family and his own intelligence.
What strikes one at first glance about him is his cleanliness, not his beauty. Like a flawless piece of uncarved jade.
Song Huaixi felt thirsty only after watching the most thrilling scene. When I turned around, I saw Zhao Fangye leaning against the door.
His pretty face instantly came alive, and he said to him happily: "You are here..."
Halfway through his speech, he hurriedly changed his words and continued excitedly: "My Lord, you are here!"
Zhao Fangye felt a little uncomfortable hearing him call him that. After all, he has been calling you and mine all the time these past two days.
Today has become so regular.
As he spoke, Song Huaixi crawled out from the fox fur and jumped off the couch.
She ran to him with her bare feet clattering on the ground: "Come in quickly! It's so cold outside!"
Zhao Fangye was pulled into the house by him and watched him walking barefoot on the ground. He frowned and asked, "Why are you running around without even wearing shoes?"
Song Huaixi looked down at his bare feet and moved his toes: "It's not cold! The floor is warm when I step on it, it's magical."
Zhao Fangye ignored him, picked him up and put him on the couch. Song Huaixi wanted to go down, but was held down by him.
Song Huaixi looked at him, eyes full of confusion: "What are you doing? I want to drink some water."
Zhao Fangye personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Where is your nanny?"
"Mammy has to go out for something." Song Huaixi held the teacup and drank it all, then handed the empty one to him: "I want more."
Zhao Fangye glanced at him and didn't move. This fool was really pushing his luck.
Song Huaixi didn't think there was anything wrong with the prince serving him tea and water, as he always did so at home.
I raised my hand and shook it, thinking he didn't hear me, and repeated, "No more, I want more."
Zhao Fangye thought to himself, why bother with such a fool? He took the teacup and refilled it for him: "When your nanny comes back, tell her to prepare to go back to the Song Mansion the day after tomorrow. Got it?"
"go home?!"
When he heard that they were going back to the Song Mansion, Song Huaixi was so excited that he almost jumped up. The smile in his eyes almost overflowed: "Really? Can I go home?"
"What? Are you not satisfied with living in the palace?" Zhao Fangye's expression turned cold when he saw that he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"No!" Song Huaixi explained: "The palace is so big, there are so many people, and there is a lot of food. The floor can also heat up. It's amazing!"
"Do you still want to go back?" Zhao Fangye glared at him with his light eyes.
Song Huaixi thought for a moment and said, "Although my home is small and there are few people, it is also very good. I have a beautiful garden and my father's mynah bird, which can even talk!"
Think of this. Song Huaixi grabbed his sleeve and said, "Come home with me the day after tomorrow. I'll take you to see the starlings!"
Song Huaixi's eyes were full of anticipation. He felt that Zhao Fangye must have never seen a talking mynah bird. He really wanted to take him to see it.
Originally he had no such plan, but Zhao Fangye looked at his fingers tightly clasped on his sleeves and suddenly chuckled.
"Since you invited me, I will do you the honor of going."
