Hai Fu had no choice but to return to the Imperial Study.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaojing almost laughed out of anger.
You brat!
"Is he determined to never marry anyone but Rong Qingqing?"
Hai Fu stood aside, listening to the emperor's voice, but dared not say a word. However, in his opinion, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the crown prince marrying the princess of the Prince Su's mansion.
Prince Su guarded the border and made countless contributions to the Great Liang. As his daughter, the princess was a perfect match for the crown prince in terms of appearance and status.
However, he could only think these words in his heart.
Emperor Zhaojing rubbed his temples. "Do you have any way to make Xingxiu give up on that idea?"
Hai Fu dared not speak carelessly, but since the emperor had asked, he could not give a perfunctory answer, so he cautiously said, "This old servant believes that the one who tied the knot must untie it."
Emperor Zhaojing pondered for a moment and thought it was a good idea, so he said, "Tomorrow I will go out of the palace to talk to Rong Qingqing."
The following day, at the Prince Su's residence.
Rong Qingqing was looking at the account books sent by various shops.
At this moment, Steward Hong came to report, "Eunuch Haifu has arrived. Please come to the front hall, Princess."
Rong Qingqing was very surprised. Why was Haifu here?
She had no choice but to put down the ledger and follow Butler Hong to the front hall.
In the front hall, Haifu was drinking the tea that had been served to him.
Seeing Rong Qingqing enter, he quickly put down his teacup, stood up and took a few steps to greet her, saying with a smile, "This servant greets the princess."
Upon seeing this, Rong Qingqing quickly stepped aside, feigning surprise, and said, "How could I allow Eunuch Hai to greet me? Eunuch Hai, you're making me feel so ashamed." Hai Fu was a favorite of Emperor Zhaojing, holding a very high position. Others were too busy currying favor with him to dare accept his greeting.
Haifu straightened up and said seriously, "I am leaving the palace this time because I need the princess's help."
Rong Qingqing suppressed her surprise and said humbly, "I will definitely help if I can."
Haifu glanced at the sky outside and said, "No rush. Since it's already noon, why don't you come with me to Wangchun Tower, Princess, and we can eat and talk at the same time?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing immediately guessed that Emperor Zhaojing should be at Wangchun Tower.
Hai Fu's trip was also at the behest of Emperor Zhaojing.
She just didn't understand why Emperor Zhaojing wanted to see her.
She said calmly, "Very well, then I will go to Wangchun Tower with Eunuch Hai."
Haifu politely said, "Princess, please go first."
Rong Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but seeing his insistence, she had no choice but to go ahead first.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhao Yong quickly followed her.
Haifu saw this but said nothing.
When Rong Qingqing arrived at Wangchun Tower and entered the elegant room Haifu had mentioned, she was no longer surprised to see Emperor Zhaojing sitting there, sipping tea.
She stepped forward and bowed to him.
"This humble woman greets Your Majesty."
"Princess, you may rise." Emperor Zhaojing raised his hand in a gentle gesture, then urged Haifu, "Now that the princess has arrived, let them serve the dishes quickly."
"Yes." Haifu knew that his master had been craving the boiled live fish from Wangchunlou for a long time.
If he hadn't had to wait for Rong Qingqing, he probably would have eaten long ago.
He couldn't help but wonder whether his master left the palace today mainly to eat boiled live fish, or to see Rong Qingqing and eat boiled live fish on the way.
"Don't stand there, sit down, the food will be served soon." Emperor Zhaojing said to Rong Qingqing when he saw that she was still standing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong Qingqing did not refuse and sat down.
Judging from Emperor Zhaojing's demeanor, it was clear that he wouldn't get to the point so quickly.
Since she could sit, she naturally didn't want to stand.
