The sky gradually darkened.
Since arriving at the pavilion, the two have not exchanged a single word.
Hua Rong was able to endure the loneliness, but the Ninth Prince also seemed to have some unspeakable worries.
In the end, however, Hua Rong won.
After all, the Ninth Prince sought out Hua Rong for drinks precisely to vent his frustrations.
"My octopus is going to marry a prince's wife."
The Ninth Prince's first words made Hua Rong understand why he was so troubled.
However, Hua Rong did not speak in accordance with his meaning. Instead, she said with delight, "This is a happy occasion! Ninth Prince, you will have a sister-in-law."
Ninth Prince: "..."
He was so angry he almost held his breath!
At the same time, there was also a question about why he had been depressed before.
He took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the urge to curse.
Before he could speak again, Hua Rong added, "Maybe before long, you'll have a chubby and adorable little nephew or niece."
"puff"
The Ninth Prince spat out a mouthful of wine.
Believe him, he initially wanted to bleed!
"Rongrong, whose side are you on?" The Ninth Prince knew he couldn't win an argument with Hua Rong, so he resorted to being coquettish.
His words left Hua Rong speechless.
Finally, she looked calmly at the Ninth Prince, her tone unusually serious.
"Ninth Prince, you should know this. Anyone can have homosexual tendencies, but you princes cannot. To put it bluntly, the current emperor is not a purely virtuous person. Moreover, the person you are fond of is your own brother!"
Hua Rong lowered his voice very much.
When she found out about this, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.
It was both for the Ninth Prince's feelings and for the other party's honesty.
They actually told such a thing to a lowly palace maid like her.
Seriously... adorably silly!
"I know!" The Ninth Prince looked at the lotus pond beside him with some dejection.
Although it is not yet the season for lotus flowers to bloom, the pond is already a thriving scene because it is springtime.
A breeze blew by, and one or two dragonflies landed on it.
The lotus buds are just beginning to emerge.
His emotions, however, could not be revealed in the slightest.
“My mother was my father’s Consort Shu, and my grandfather was the Minister of Personnel. They were a distinguished family. But my father was heartless and ungrateful, and my mother loved only my heartless and ungrateful father all her life.”
"From childhood to adulthood, only my eighth brother has ever loved, pitied, and cherished me. All my emotions can only be placed on him."
As he spoke, he grasped Hua Rong's hand, his expression tender.
"Rongrong, you're the only one who doesn't think I'm a monster. You know what? I think I'm a monster myself! Rongrong, you'll always be with me, right?"
Hua Rong stared at him for a while, then slapped him on the head.
Even if you look incredibly pitiful right now, you can't fool me!
Hua Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
It's clear that the Ninth Prince has made up his mind.
As for why he recovered so quickly, Hua Rong didn't think about it deeply.
The Ninth Prince pitifully covered his head, his eyes shimmering like waves.
"Rongrong, can't you be a little gentler? How come you're still so careless even after getting married?"
When he said the words "married," the Ninth Prince was quite gritted his teeth.
"Wouldn't it be easier for me to abuse my beauty if I got married?"
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince carefully examined Hua Rong a few times.
The conclusion drawn was: "You've become more beautiful, but you're still not as beautiful as me."
Hua Rong: "..."
She said it was pointless to argue with an idiot about who was more beautiful.
Anyway, she's the most beautiful!
======
midnight.
The candle was about to go out.
Hua Rong suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and woke up with a start.
Through the candlelight, a scene that sent chills down my spine came into view.
"These bastards!"
Hua Rong cursed under his breath and stepped on Wang Dequan, who was sleeping on the ground.
"Get up, or you'll die!"
Wang Dequan almost couldn't breathe when Hua Rong stepped on his nose.
He sat up groggily, muttering, "Tiger mom, do you want an apple or grapes?"
Hua Rong: "..."
Hua Rong kicked him in the face: "Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat! Open your eyes now!"
Wang Dequan was completely awakened by those words.
Good heavens, isn't that the phrase he often curses Hua Rong in his mind?
Upon hearing this, his first thought was—oh no, oh no, this tigress has definitely found out.
But the next second, he was terrified.
His large house was filled with snakes!
Densely packed, countless.
One look at it is enough to make people with trypophobia faint!
"ah!"
Wang Dequan's eyes rolled back, and he fainted instantly.
Hua Rong: "..."
She instantly realized she shouldn't have bothered waking him up.
But it's good that she's passed out!
Hua Rong took out a handful of medicinal powder from a large bag sewn by Xiao Ci and started sprinkling it on the ground with her bare feet.
The next moment, the snakes turned into a pool of blood when they touched the powder.
The most terrifying thing is that when this blood touches the snakes nearby, it melts away instantly, like a plague.
In no time, these terrifying snakes turned into blood.
After a while, it evaporated.
At this moment, Wang Dequan's men, who had heard the commotion, knocked on the door.
"Eunuch Wang, Aunt, what's going on?"
Hua Rong was disgusted by the snakes and said irritably, "Your father-in-law is exhausted."
The eunuchs outside the door were all taken aback when they heard Hua Rong's words.
