Wei Qing followed Tang Li like a wolf guarding its food, and he couldn't wait to tell everyone that this was his wife!
Last night, his wife told him about this man. Wei Qing knew his identity, the Third Prince Zhao Shu. It was very likely that he was the man behind the poison doctor, or he might have ordered the bandits to kidnap several children. More importantly, he dared to covet his wife. No matter which one, it was enough for Wei Qing to take action and smash his head off!
If it were two years ago, he had not learned to be patient and still had the same violent temper, he would have rushed up to kill him and gouged out his eyes.
But now, Wei Qing suppressed this impulse. The other party was a prince with a serious identity, so he had to make a long-term plan.
So, he always stayed by his wife's side, swearing his ownership. Occasionally showing affection, letting the man know that his wife loved him the most, and his covetousness was in vain!
A scornful smile appeared on Zhao Shu's face.
In reality, he didn't even take the Wu family kid seriously. He just thought Tangli was interesting, but he wasn't into her enough to want her to be his. If they really wanted to compete, how could this person win over him? In this world, there was no one Zhao Shu couldn't have!
Zhao Shu looked at the man following Tang Li like a dog guarding its food and found it ridiculous.
He stayed in the restaurant for a while and then left.
Zhao Shu returned to the inn.
"Master, there is a letter from the capital."
The person who spoke was the man with an extremely ordinary face, named Deng Shuo, who was Zhao Shu's confidant.
Deng Shuo presented the letter to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu opened the letter and read its contents, his expression becoming more and more serious.
"A miracle doctor came to the palace and cured my father's insomnia. My father was very happy and valued this miracle doctor very much. Not only did he appoint him as the chief of the Imperial Hospital, he also gave him various rewards." Zhao Shu said.
Deng Shuo listened to him with lowered head and no response.
His Highness always had his own ideas and hated being influenced by others. His Highness was in deep thought, not asking for his opinion. Therefore, he didn't need to speak.
"And the one who found this miracle doctor was Miss Gu. Before Miss Gu found this man, he was just an unknown country doctor. Who would have thought that there were many hidden talents in the countryside? Miss Gu's vision is indeed extraordinary. Therefore, my father has taken a new look at Miss Gu and wants to make her a princess." Zhao Shu said with a smile on his face.
He has really good taste.
Zhao Shu knew what he wanted since he was young.
When he was young, he saw his father sitting on the throne, with all under heaven prostrating at his feet. He thought, he wanted to be like his father, above all others. No, he wanted to be even more powerful than his father. He wanted to unify the world and have all the dynasties come to congratulate him!
He has been working towards this since he was young.
He read books and learned martial arts. He was proficient in both civil and military affairs. He was much better than the prince who was favored by Empress Xiao and could only steal bird eggs.
Later, the Xiao family colluded with the enemy and plotted rebellion, and the crown prince was deposed. He originally thought that the crown prince position would definitely be his, but he did not expect that his father would delay in supporting the crown prince, and later there was the sixth son...
One day, that little brat Lao Liu will be stepped on by me.
Zhao Shu was cautious in every step, and his princess would be a great help to him, so he had to choose her carefully.
Gu Ying is General Gu’s only daughter and also his most favored daughter. As long as he marries Gu Ying, the entire Gu family will be his help!
The military commanders were led by General Gu. Even if there was a rising star, Cao Shao... Cao Shao's status was not as high as General Gu's, and Cao Shao didn't have a daughter...
In short, Gu Ying is the best candidate for his position as princess.
Now, Gu Ying has found a miracle doctor to cure his father's illness and has been treated differently by his father, which makes her even more worthy of marriage.
"However, the letter said that Lao Liu has also been eyeing Miss Gu recently. It seems I have to..." Zhao Shu's eyes flashed coldly, and he pondered for a moment, "I will return to Beijing in two days."
Deng Shuo lowered his head and said nothing.
Two days, why wait two days?
Since Miss Gu has already found the miracle doctor, there is no need for her to stop for Doctor Su, who has not shown any particularly impressive medical skills.
Could it be because of Shopkeeper Tang?
Speaking of which, the master's attitude towards Shopkeeper Tang is indeed a little special.
He had been with his master for many years and knew that everything his master did must have a purpose and he would never waste time on worthless people or things, but he made an exception for Miss Tang.
And, apparently, the master didn't seem to notice.
Deng Shuo frowned, feeling that this was not a good thing.
The next day.
Zhao Shu did not go to Ningfeng Restaurant, but stayed in a private room in a teahouse opposite Ningfeng Restaurant.
He was sitting in a private room, just able to see the counter of the restaurant opposite and watch the busy shopkeeper Tang.
She was wearing simple and elegant clothes, but her beauty and charm could not be concealed.
Originally, in Zhao Shu's eyes, all women were the same, beauty and ugliness made no difference in his eyes. The characteristic of Gu Ying in his eyes was that she was the daughter of General Gu.
But only Tangli is very beautiful, and I feel inexplicably happy when I look at her.
Zhao Shu watched like this for most of the day, and only returned to the inn after Tang Li left the restaurant.
The next day came.
Zhao Shu went to the teahouse again and sat opposite for a long time, but he didn't see the capable manager Tang show up.
Zhao Shu frowned slightly.
Soon, he learned from the discussions of passers-by why Tangli did not come to Ningfeng Restaurant.
"Have you heard? Today, the Wu family proposed to Shopkeeper Xiang Tang!"
"What's so strange about this? Looking at the appearance of the county magistrate, he seems to be eager to marry her. If today weren't an auspicious day for an engagement, it would have been done long ago."
"But, this Shopkeeper Tang is just a widow, and he is the County Magistrate..."
"What's wrong with being a widow? Miss Tang is so lovable. The county magistrate's wife treats her as her own sister, and Madam Wu likes her very much too. Don't be so jealous. If the county magistrate doesn't want to marry Shopkeeper Tang, he should marry you."
"It is said that the Wu family's betrothal gifts fill a whole street. I have never seen such a grand occasion. It shows how much the Wu family values Miss Tang. Let's go and see the excitement."
The crowd rushed in one direction.
Zhao Shu's face looked unhappy, but suddenly, he smiled again.
"I'll go see the fun too."
It was indeed very lively in front of the Tang family's house.
The long street was filled with betrothal gifts.
Passersby all stretched their heads to look, with curiosity and envy.
Suddenly, the door of the house opened and a woman walked out.
The woman specially changed into a brightly colored dress today, and she immediately looked much brighter. Her delicate little face was full of smiles, and her eyebrows were full of charm.
She is so beautiful, the kind of beauty that comes from the very bones, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
This woman was Tang Li.
The moment they saw Tangli, the onlookers' thoughts changed from "this girl is so lucky to marry the county magistrate" to "the county magistrate is a blessed man".
In the crowd, a pair of eyes were staring at her closely. It was Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu felt his heart pounding as he felt the beauty of a woman for the first time.
If he put aside the consideration of power, he would rather marry the woman in front of him than Gu Ying.
Unfortunately, she was just an ordinary woman and could not provide any help for him to ascend to the supreme throne. Gu Ying, the general's daughter, was favored by her father and could provide him with great assistance. Therefore, his princess could only be Gu Ying.
In front of the throne, personal affairs of children are not worth mentioning.
Zhao Shu chuckled, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, turned around and left.
