After the court session, Zu An, as was customary, went to the East Palace to report for duty. He took the opportunity to ask Bi Linglong, "Has the Prince of Qi really resigned himself to returning to his fiefdom?"
“It’s not that easy,” Bi Linglong said, her face exquisite, as if she had dressed up specially today. “It’s just that the current situation is unfavorable to him, so he’s just lying low for now. I think it won’t be long before he starts to fight back.”
Zu An asked her what the likely counterattack by the King of Qi was, and Bi Linglong shook her head: "The King of Qi is far-sighted, how can we juniors presume to guess? Does Lord Zu have anything else to report? If not, you may leave."
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and multiple audio reading options. Huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
Sensing her cold tone, Zu An was taken aback, wondering what had gotten into her.
It seems that what happened at the Queen's place yesterday hasn't been exposed.
He had no choice but to continue, "Something's come up at home lately, and I'd like to ask for a few days off..."
"No." Before he could finish speaking, Bi Linglong interrupted him.
Zuan was also getting annoyed and abruptly stood up: "Why?"
Bi Linglong looked up at him, her face expressionless: "The Eastern Palace is incredibly busy. As the Crown Prince's junior official, you were away on a mission recently and have been away from the Eastern Palace for a long time. You have accumulated countless official documents. You have finally returned, and now you want to ask for leave again?"
"I have been quite busy these past few days. I promise I'll come back and work overtime to get things done after these few days are over." Zu An was a little confused. In fact, although he held a high position in the Eastern Palace as a junior official, most of the specific affairs were handled by his subordinates. As for making decisions, there was the Crown Princess above him. Why would he need to handle official documents personally?
"What could you possibly be busy with? Isn't it just keeping that woman from the Chu family company company?" Bi Linglong said coldly. "As far as I know, you two are already divorced, right? She's not your family member anymore, so why would you need to keep her company?"
Zu An suddenly realized and couldn't help but look at her and laugh, "So you're jealous."
"You scoundrel! How could I, the Crown Princess, be jealous of you?" Bi Linglong's expression was unnatural. "Someone, bring Lord Zu all the official documents that have been piling up lately."
After saying that, she got up and left without giving the other person a chance to refute her.
Soon, Rong Mo brought over a large pile of official documents and stacked them in front of him, watching him with schadenfreude.
Zuan was dumbfounded. There were so many, it would take three days and three nights to finish them all, let alone one day. Chu Yan was still waiting for him at home.
