Chapter 980
Just as Huo Zhao was watching Shen Rang act foolishly for the first time, Ji Xiang hurriedly came over: "Miss, the sixth prince's wife from Southern Chu has arrived. She said there are still many places in Luoyang City that she hasn't been to yet, and she would like you to take her around. The princess has already gone there."
"Are they really planning to have a good time in Luoyang before going back?"
The situation in Southern Chu is unclear. Although the emperor is incompetent, he is still the emperor. How could the sixth prince have been delayed in Luoyang for so long?
Shen Rang said, "Don't worry, the Sixth Prince and his party won't stay long. Regardless of the situation in Southern Chu, our Emperor won't tolerate them."
How can one tolerate another snoring beside one's bed? The emperor must also find the Southern Chu extremely displeasing, and is probably currently worrying about how to finish things quickly and send the people back.
Huo Zhao nodded.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the front yard.
When the Sixth Prince's Consort saw that Zhong Jie had come in person, she was immediately surprised.
"My daughter is unwell and cannot receive the princess. Please forgive her."
"Feeling unwell? Are you tired?" the princess asked in surprise.
Zhong Jie said, "Who knows? She just wants to stay in bed after her afternoon nap. I figured I didn't have anything important to do today, so I just let her be."
"If the Princess Consort wishes to wander around Luoyang, perhaps I should arrange for someone to accompany her?"
The princess's smile was a little stiff: "...No need. While it is enjoyable to wander around Luoyang City, it would be better for me to be with the princess. The princess...is a really nice person."
Zhong Jie smiled without a hint of modesty: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
Logically, the princess should have gotten up and left at this point.
However, the princess consort had no intention of leaving: "Now that I've come all this way, if the princess is unwell, I should go and check on her. Is now a convenient time?"
“I’m afraid that’s not convenient,” Zhong Jie said. “I want her to get some rest.”
The princess sighed softly, "The princess is truly blessed to have a family like the princess and to be born in such a place."
When fate was mentioned, Zhong Jie couldn't help but think of Consort Jing's schemes.
At that time, if Huo Zhao had taken even one wrong step, he would have been doomed.
Without Huo Zhao, the Yunnan Prince's Mansion will be shrouded in gloom all day long.
Thinking of this, Zhong Jie's smile faded slightly, and she did not respond to the princess's words.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became somewhat subtle.
But the princess consort still showed no intention of leaving.
She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "Your Highness, since the Princess is not here today, I have a question I would like to ask you to answer."
"Me?" Zhong Jie looked at her. "What is it that Your Highness, the Crown Princess, must come to me for answers?"
This princess consort is quite interesting.
The Huo family has been stationed in Yunnan for so many years. For the Huo family, there is a national and personal feud with Southern Chu. From the perspective of the Sixth Prince, if it weren't for the Huo family, Southern Chu's territory would definitely have a large area. He would definitely regard the Huo family as a thorn in his side. Under such circumstances, the Sixth Prince's wife actually said that she wanted Zhong Jie to help him understand.
The princess nodded slightly: "In the past, I have often heard our prince say that the Huo family is full of loyal martyrs, and the Huo family heir is a rare genius. If it weren't for the issue of their positions, the two of them would probably have become very good friends."
Zhong Jie twitched the corner of her mouth.
That makes sense.
The Sixth Prince is cunning and sometimes even Huo Yue can be fooled, but Huo Shu seems to be born to counter him. Sometimes, he can predict the Sixth Prince's actions without any military deductions, just by intuition.
It can be said that the Sixth Prince suffered more at the hands of Huo Shu than at the hands of Huo Yue.
“Our prince has never been such a magnanimous person, but since he has said so, I think the Huo family must have something special about them.”
Zhong Jie: ......
